The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 740 Plan
Bellatrix walked down the dark tunnel. Only the cold blue light from the black candles in the niches every ten or so meters could vaguely illuminate the downward stairs.

But this was not static. As Bella walked down the stairs, the temperature around her gradually increased. After five or six minutes, the temperature around Bella had risen to the point where it was as hot as the sun in midsummer. When she walked down the last few steps and turned a corner, the darkness in the tunnel was dispelled by a dazzling red light, illuminating the entire tunnel as bright as day.

At this time, the ground under Bella's feet had become flat. She walked forward along the mirror-smooth stone floor. Soon she walked out of the tunnel under the small flight of stairs and appeared on a platform.

The platform is located on the wall of a huge tiankeng, like a balcony on a palace. Standing on the platform, one can hear bursts of explosions and the sound of mountain collapse coming from the cave below.

Looking down from the edge of the platform, the most dazzling thing is a constantly rolling magma pool in the cave below. The rolling magma illuminates the entire cave like the Sahara Desert at noon in midsummer.

Many Death Eaters in black clothes and robes were busy on the black platform beside the lava pool. From time to time, some Death Eaters went in and out of the small holes on the wall of the cave, like a group of busy worker bees.

The job of most Death Eaters now is to shoot spells into the magma, so that huge pieces of magma can be separated from the magma pool, and then transferred to the altars built in advance by the pool.

The other group of Death Eaters walked to the side of the altar after the magma was suspended above it, and used magic to send the materials in their hands into the hot magma. At the same time, they waved their wands to inject different magical powers into the altars.

As the Death Eaters cast spells, lights of various colors slowly enveloped the hot magma floating on the altar. Under the combined effect of these magical powers and the materials previously invested, the magma floating above the center of the altar began to slowly cool and take shape, turning into obsidian giants and monsters of different sizes and shapes.

When Bellatrix went down to the bottom of the cave along a plank road beside the platform, she saw a two-story-high obsidian giant puppet just being formed. From the dense bone spurs on its body and its hideous face, it was clear that it was a pure killing machine.

At this moment, a Death Eater wearing a silver mask came over holding a brass lantern. As he approached, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and Bella even saw a layer of white frost on the lantern and the Death Eater's thick leather gloves.

A ball of blue flame the size of a baseball was burning in the lantern. If you look closely, you can see countless vengeful spirits trapped in the flames, wailing silently to everyone around them. Even a powerful dark wizard like Bellatrix could clearly feel the chill in the deepest part of her body spreading from her heart to her entire body when she got close to the lantern.

The Death Eater holding the lantern walked to the puppet and raised it above his head. Then he chanted a spell and drew a rune in the air with the wand in his other hand.

When the last stroke of the rune was completed, a blue flame flew out from the lantern like an arrow and shot directly at the obsidian puppet standing on the altar.

As the flames sank into the puppet's chest, the entire puppet came alive in an instant, with blue flames emanating from its joints and facial features. At the same time, it raised its head and let out a roar.

"Very good, this should be grade A." Bella nodded and muttered to herself, then watched the stone giant puppet, under the control of another group of Death Eaters, walk with heavy steps into a tall cave and slowly disappear.

"Bella, come to the conference room. There are important matters to discuss." Just as Bella watched an obsidian giant being created, a black mist floated out from somewhere on the stone wall, bringing Voldemort's command.

As soon as she received Voldemort's order, Bella immediately trotted to the side of a cave wall and knocked with her wand. After a few knocks, the stone wall disappeared, revealing a deep cave. However, this cave was much more refined than the other caves before, and the walls and floors of the cave could be seen to be carefully polished. After walking through a short corridor, she soon came to a wooden door and stopped, then turned the door handle without hesitation.

There was only one person in the meeting room, sitting at a stone table that was integrated with the ground, facing the door of the room. Except for a huge golden chandelier on the ceiling, the whole room was empty and there was no furniture.

And very near to the right of the man, a huge venomous snake was encased in a translucent sphere studded with stars. Bella recognized it as Nagini, protected by a powerful protective spell.

She was even a little jealous of the snake, because recently, its master Voldemort had paid more attention to the snake than any of their servants. Even the servants combined seemed to be less concerned by the master than the snake.

"Bella, my most loyal servant. Come and sit at my right hand now." A high, clear voice came from the head of the table. "I am glad to see that you came here as soon as you heard my call."

Bellatrix sat down at the designated seat and waited there quietly. A few minutes later, five or six figures in black robes came in, took off their hoods and sat down at the table one by one.

After the small stone table was full, Voldemort turned to the wizard sitting in the second seat to his right and asked the first question of the meeting. "Rodolphus, how are the preparations for the undead obsidian golems going?"

"Master, we have done our best to complete your order." Rodolphus Lestrange wanted to say something to show off his achievements after hearing Voldemort's question. But after seeing Voldemort's snake-like eyes, he immediately took back the words and answered seriously. "The 5000 magic puppets you requested will be completed within three days. Among them, 988 A-level puppets have been produced, 1215 B-level puppets have been produced, and the rest are C-level puppets."

"It's still a bit slow." Voldemort said with some dissatisfaction. "I hope to see all 5000 magic puppets built tomorrow, and 1000 of them must be A-level."

"Master, the lava pool has reached a limit now. We, ah--" Before Lestrange could finish his words, Voldemort took out his wand and cast a Cruciatus Curse on him.

"I don't want to hear such excuses. If you can't come, I don't mind finding someone else." Voldemort approached Lestrange who was lying on the ground and hissed like a snake. Everyone in the room shrank back in their chairs. Only Bellatrix looked at Voldemort with admiration, not even glancing at her husband who was lying on the ground wailing.

"Well, if any of you feel that you can't complete the task, please speak up now." After standing up, Voldemort looked at all the Death Eaters in the conference room and said, "I can reduce your burden."

The entire conference room immediately fell silent. After a few seconds of silence, Voldemort nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, I hope everyone can complete the battle preparations tomorrow. Within ten days, I will lead everyone to completely turn the tide of the war, completely eliminate those guys with dirty bloodlines, and then take back the glory that should belong to us."

"Yes, Master." All the Death Eaters in the conference room immediately cheered up, with excitement on their faces. "We are willing to give everything for you."
