The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 725 Werewolf Pack

"The Death Eaters are quite thoughtful." Ryan said as the two men moved towards the designated location deep in the woods. "It seems that our previous attacks allowed them to discover some of our attack characteristics, and this time all their arrangements are obviously aimed at the characteristics we exposed before."

"You're right. I feel the same way." Hermione ran forward a few steps and stood on a tree stump, then turned around and said to Ryan, "They should have restricted our reconnaissance capabilities as soon as possible, trying to break our previous combat habits of gaining a lot of advantages by starting with sneak attacks, and concealing our own forces."

At this point, Hermione frowned slightly and asked, "But the problem is, at least the archives of the past few hundred years have not mentioned that there is a problem with this place, and I don't believe that the Death Eaters can set up such a large-scale magic circle."

"I believe that the group of Death Eaters should have only discovered this place and found a way to activate everything in this place." Ryan said as he walked forward, "You know, those Death Eaters come from various pure-blood families. I think the records in their families must be much more comprehensive than those in the Ministry of Magic. Maybe someone of them found something in there."

During the discussion, the two people moved forward quickly. Fortunately, although the space in this place was full of various interferences and turbulences that made it impossible for most people to teleport, for Ryan and his team, it only increased the difficulty of space travel, which did not mean that they could not teleport.

Of course, for safety reasons, Ryan teleported a few hundred meters towards the destination by himself. Then he used the special effect of the Phoenix Mark to pull Hermione to his side. In this way, they spent 15 minutes to pass through the 5-kilometer strange forest.

"This should be it." Ryan and Hermione stood side by side on a boulder. In front of them was a wall that looked like the invisible wall they had seen on the way here. The only difference was that there was no fog outside this wall.

"Looks like we've arrived." After confirming that there was no problem with the surroundings, Ryan and his team crossed the invisible boundary. In front of them was a flat lawn the size of a football field, with a simple tent in the middle of the lawn.

This tent was just an ordinary tent, without any magical reaction. When Ryan and the others opened the door curtain with their wands and walked into the tent, they found that the mother and daughter of the Greengrass family were lying on the tattered carpet beside the tent door.

In addition, there were several other men and women who were also unconscious and placed in various places in the tent. In the center of the tent, a liquid like green mud was boiling in a crucible that was slightly larger than an ordinary crucible.

Unlike ordinary crucibles, this one had a brass foot as big as Ryan's arm at the bottom of the pot. Theoretically, if this was the legendary jumping pot, it should be using this foot to jump constantly. But now, after being roasted on a silver rack covered with snake-shaped reliefs over green magic fire, this little foot kept twitching.

After silently chanting a few spells, Ryan released a pink light from his hands that enveloped the crucible. After a sound like cold water pouring into hot oil, a large number of fluorescent green runes appeared on the outer wall of the pot.

These runes were full of weirdness, as if someone had randomly drawn them with a magic wand after getting drunk. However, the regular flickering light and the magic power flowing above them explained the power contained in these runes.

"What is this?" Hermione, who had just finished checking all the unconscious people in the bombing tent, turned around and happened to see this scene. "Why do I feel a little uncomfortable when I look at these words?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable? I think this is normal, because these runes are a branch of ancient Greek, which was called blasphemous language in the mythological era. It is a special language used to make black magic props and write black magic books. It has a certain bonus for black magic spells." Ryan explained. "For example, now, this pot has been completely polluted by these blasphemous words that are likely drawn by the mysterious person himself."

"Completely contaminated?" Hermione's eyes widened. "That means the plan to turn those ordinary people into Inferi is real. Can this pot really do that?" "Of course it can. Don't forget that this jumping pot is listed in the legend along with the Three Deathly Hallows. Considering the power of the Three Deathly Hallows, it is understandable that this pot can do that step in the previous plan." Ryan nodded and said with certainty, then he asked. "By the way, what's going on with these unconscious people?"

"The situation is not good." Hermione said. "When I checked just now, I found that all of them drank a strange potion. These potions are not fatal, but they will put people into a deep sleep. And except for the three people from the Greengrass family, everyone else has signs of torture on their bodies."

"Stupid and tortured?" Ryan frowned. "What kind of slumber is this? Can we wake them up? I think this place is not safe. We need to quickly transfer these non-combatants away."

"I'm sorry, I don't have that ability." Hermione looked unhappy. "Although this potion is not lethal, it is very complicated. If you force them to wake up, it will permanently damage their souls."

Hermione paused for a moment, then continued, "Apart from the Greengrass family, the others should be the Muggle wizards kidnapped by the You-Know-Who before, because I recognized a few people who looked the same as the photos in the missing person notice in our newspaper. Their situation is even worse, because the torture has hurt their souls, and if they are forcibly replaced, it will cause fatal damage."

After that, Hermione passed the specific results of the previous examination to Ryan through the Phoenix Mark. Ryan was surprised to find that the complexity of this potion was only comparable to that of the truth serum. Even if he used the power of the Rose Mother, it would take half an hour to analyze and make the corresponding antidote.

However, the person who designed the trap this time certainly did not intend to leave Ryan time to respond. Just when Ryan had just finished reading the information that Hermione sent through the Phoenix Mark, several wolf howls were heard outside.

"Werewolf." As people who had dealt with Lupin and his group of werewolves for a long time, Ryan and the others immediately recognized the source of the voice. Based on the werewolves' howling, they clearly judged that the werewolves outside had almost surrounded them.

"Damn it! Today is a full moon." Only then did Ryan realize that according to the Eastern lunar calendar, today was the fifteenth. However, even in his previous life, he only paid attention to the lunar calendar when the Chinese New Year was approaching. Not to mention that he had been living in the UK for more than a decade and had not noticed this at all.

"How insidious." Ryan said to himself in his heart. The powerful magical interference around this place meant that even a wizard like him who mastered special space-travel skills could not guarantee 100% safety in taking the unconscious people away, not to mention that it was difficult to take so many people away at once.

Obviously, the group used the jumping pot to attract Ryan, and then used the women of the Greengrass family and several innocent people to hold them. Then they summoned a group of people to kill them. But Ryan was curious about why Voldemort chose werewolves.

According to the simple test Ryan had done before, even a werewolf like Professor Lupin who could maintain human consciousness after changing into wolf form would be a mess in the small-scale 3+3 cooperation with wizards, not to mention that the werewolves on Voldemort's side all lost their human consciousness after changing into wolf form.

If Voldemort mixed the Death Eaters and werewolves this time, Ryan suspected that there was a high probability that they would fight each other before they came into contact with Ryan.

If he only sent out werewolves, Ryan didn't think that a group of brainless guys in werewolf form could cause him much harm. Because now the number of werewolves willing to surrender to Voldemort would not exceed 200 even at the most optimistic estimate. Even if these werewolves had powerful magic and physical defense capabilities, Ryan didn't think they would be his opponents, especially since they had the fatal weakness of having no brains.
