The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 733 Promise and Purpose

"Are you saying that the current situation is the best expected scenario?" Hermione opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She couldn't understand how Mrs. Gregoria could think that the situation where the breadwinner of the family had passed away, they couldn't return home, and were left with only three orphans and a widow living under someone else's roof was the best scenario.

"Indeed, the current situation is the best one," Mrs. Greengrass nodded. "We always thought we were doomed this time, and I think my husband should have told you what the consequences would be if we did nothing."

"Yes, Mr. Greengrass told us at the time that if we did what the mysterious man said, he would still be dead, and the glorious surname Greengrass would also be completely consigned to history."

"For our pure-blood family, the survival of the family is above all else. Every family member is willing to sacrifice everything for this goal, including our lives." Madam Greengrass said with a serious expression, "If we choose to surrender to you, we will be able to successfully preserve our family."

"But Madam, you have to know that even if you make the right choice, we will never allow you pure-blood families to monopolize all the benefits like you do now." Hermione said bluntly to Mrs. Greengrass. "It seems that the You-Know-Who is actually more in line with the interests of pure-blood wizards like you who used to be in a dominant position."

"Yes, but all of this is based on the premise that the Dark Lord wins." Madam Greengrass spread her hands and smiled helplessly. "And I don't think the Dark Lord will win this war, even though he has gathered more people and looks more powerful than before, but I still don't think he will win."

"Stronger than before?" Hermione turned to look at Ryan and asked the question that suddenly occurred in her mind through the Phoenix Mark. "He has obviously lost most of his soul!"

"But when he was reborn, the body he reshaped using black magic gave him a huge magical power bonus." Ryan explained, "In terms of the use of black magic, that pure black magic body is indeed much better than the original body that the mysterious man used various dangerous black magics to transform. So just in terms of combat level, he should be stronger than last time."

"I'm glad you chose us now." After explaining to Hermione, Ryan said to Mrs. Greengrass, "We came to you today to tell you that we have collected Mr. Greengrass's body and buried him and your house elves on the lawn of your manor."

"Thank you!" Mrs. Greengrass sniffed and said, "Thank you for giving them a good place to settle. After the war is over, I will bury them in the family cemetery."

"Besides that, no matter what the reason, Mr. Greengrass sacrificed himself for our cause. So I hope to do something for you. As long as the request is reasonable, we can agree to it." Hermione said what the two had discussed before coming here. "This is not pity, but an equal exchange."

"I don't need anything," said Lady Greengrass, shaking her head. "But I hope you can help my daughters so that they can maintain the reputation of the Greengrass family."

At this point, Mrs. Greengrass probably felt that what she had just said was a little unclear, so she quickly added: "Of course, I don't expect you to take care of them like a nanny, but I just hope that you can provide them with some help and serve as a guide for them to enter the social world in the future."

"Of course I will help them," Ryan said, "I will share with them some of the knowledge I have collected before, and I will ensure that this knowledge is equivalent to the level of knowledge circulated within your pure-blood family." The reason for making such a promise is that no matter what the reason, their father's death is indeed inseparable from Ryan. As the first victim among his followers, how to treat his family members has a demonstration effect. Therefore, Ryan does not want to leave a stingy impression on others.

On the other hand, after the war, Ryan will gradually relax the control over this knowledge and popularize it. So, from a certain perspective, these things are not as precious as imagined, but they are still very valuable knowledge for pure-blood families, which is just commensurate with the sacrifice made by the Greengrass family this time.

However, another request made by Mrs. Greengrass left Ryan a little confused. "Madam, can you explain what a social guide is? I'm really not sure about this."

"Oh, this is a rumor circulating among pure-blood families." At this point, Mrs. Greengrass suddenly raised her right hand and grabbed the collar of her clothes in a panic. "I'm sorry, please forgive me. I can swear to Merlin that there is absolutely no contempt for your bloodline in what I said just now."

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand generously. "We were born into an ordinary family without any magic skills. This is not a shame for us. Similarly, it is normal not to know some things. This is why I asked you this question."

"Thank you for your kindness." Mrs. Greengrass bowed slightly to express her gratitude. Ryan could understand why she was so neurotic. If you work under a guy like Voldemort who has serious mental problems and obvious violent tendencies, you will either suffer from Stockholm syndrome or be frightened into a serious neurotic state like Mrs. Greengrass.

Next, Mrs. Greengrass explained in detail what Ryan and his friends needed to do as guides to the Greengrass sisters' social circles. In fact, it was very simple to summarize, that is, to introduce the two sisters to others in appropriate social occasions.
In fact, this is a means for those pure-blood wizard families to divide their power. The social leader chosen by a family often reflects the strength and tendency of the family. For example, the social leaders of Bellatrix and Regulus were both Voldemort. This even aroused the jealousy of the Death Eaters towards the Black family.

After figuring out what the guides in the social world were all about, Ryan directly agreed to Mrs. Greengrass's request. After all, the war situation was now in sight of victory, and he needed to consider what would happen after the war.

In order to achieve true equality of bloodline, Ryan, on the one hand, gave different levels of knowledge according to their contributions, improved the overall level of Muggle and Half-blood wizards, and gave equal status and opportunities to those werewolf wizards who made contributions. On the other hand, he eliminated some stubborn pure-blood wizards and united and restricted the other part.

In this war, Ryan realized that it was impossible and impossible to completely eliminate all pure-blood wizards. Therefore, he had to ensure that the power of these pure-blood wizards was limited to a certain range after the war, rather than completely blocking all the upward channels of non-pure-blood wizards as it is now.

Just like in the original text, after the war was won, most of the final results were seized by pure-blood families like the Weasley family, and this is what Ryan is trying to avoid now.

Therefore, Ryan believed that some pure-blood families under his control must stay, and even provide some financial support to help them reach a certain level of vision. Only in this way can a delicate balance be maintained to ensure that there is enough time to cultivate a new generation of muck-blood and half-blood wizards, and finally achieve the goal of crushing the absolute dominance of pure-blood wizards in the British wizarding world for thousands of years.
