The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 93 Position Arrangement
The afternoon sunlight in September in the UK is not very strong, especially in the Forbidden Forest, where the sunlight shining through the branches and leaves is like thin pillars, with a poetic and hazy beauty.

But soon, this beautiful scenery was broken. A broken voice came from the forbidden forest: "Hey, kid. I don't know why Betty wants us to be in the same group? Look at my size, my teeth, and my claws. I should be fighting on the front line, not hiding behind everyone and doing hard labor..."

Then there was another round of chatter, which was nothing more than a narration of the glorious experience of the owner of the voice.

Ryan, beside the owner of the voice, covered his forehead helplessly. In his impression, wolves were generally silent. So when he was assigned to carry out a mission with a wolf, he was a little worried that the mission would be too boring.

But what he never expected was that this wolf could not only talk, but was also a chatterbox. Since leaving the gathering place, he has been talking nonstop, which is completely different from the aloofness when he was waiting for the assignment at the gathering place just now. Especially when he was talking nonstop and had a funny look in his eyes, Ryan deeply suspected that this wolf might be a hybrid of a wolf and a husky.

"Mr. Wolfe, stop talking to me. I don't know where that place is. I have to rely on you to lead me there." Ryan asked worriedly. After all, he was not familiar with the Forbidden Forest at all.

"Don't worry, I've lived here for 15 years, and I wouldn't go wrong even with my eyes closed." Wolf Wolf said, and then he asked: "Can you tell me what those TVs are used for?"

Ryan had no choice but to explain to him what television was. Speaking of which, Wolf the Gray Wolf was also an unlucky guy. He was actually a child born after two werewolves did something in their wolf state. He was abandoned as soon as he was born. Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore took him to the Forbidden Forest and let the centaurs raise him.

Although he looks like a wolf, his lifespan and IQ are similar to those of humans. So for a teenager who longs for the outside world, when he finally meets someone he can communicate with, he will of course keep asking about the outside world.

After walking for more than ten minutes in this way, the two people finally arrived at the predetermined location: a slightly elevated hill beside a small river with no trees around.

"Why is it that when I meet the residents of the Forbidden Forest, it is always in an open space in the forest. Even this time when we are preparing to attack the enemy, we have to choose an open space. Is the open space a lucky place in the Forbidden Forest?" Ryan said puzzled.

"Of course, in the Forbidden Forest, all intelligent creatures are at the top of the food chain of the entire Forbidden Forest. So they don't need to hide themselves. If they don't need to hide, then the best place to see the sky is the best. For example, when the sun is not too strong during the day, I will bask in the sun in an open space in the forest, especially in the morning. Otherwise, the dew in the forest will make people's fur wet, which is very uncomfortable." Wolf explained seriously.

"As for why we chose this place for an ambush, you have to know that spiders can climb trees. If you ambush them in the woods, you have to worry about the overhead all the time. Not to mention that several of your plants can spit fire. If you are not careful, it will be terrible if the forest is set on fire."

It sounds reasonable. I have learned it. Does this mean that all things have wisdom? It is true that we must remain humble on the road to knowledge, so that we can learn more.

It took Ryan an hour to arrange enough plants around. Here I have to praise the potato mines, which can clearly distinguish between enemies and friends. So after spending half an hour planting other plants in this open space, Ryan and Wolfe spent the rest of the time burying potato mines in the nearby woods. While working, Ryan suddenly thought that he just wanted to kill the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets of Hogwarts, so he came to the Forbidden Forest to get some materials. How did things develop to the point where he had to participate in a battle and serve as an important participant in this battle?

What's the difference between this and planting trees just to eat apples? But now that we're here and things have come to this point, we can't back down. It's better to get the things at hand done.

But from here Ryan also found that he had actually been guided by the centaur Betty during the negotiation to make the current choice. It must be said that no one who can become a leader is a fool. Ryan can only be thankful that Betty has no ill intentions this time, and killing those spiders is in his own interests. But this also sounded a warning to Ryan: after all, the next person who guides him may not be a good person.

However, this kind of experience in dealing with people can only be acquired slowly through more experience, and there is no way to achieve it quickly. In this case, the most correct attitude at this time is to let everything go with the flow. Repeated entanglement is more likely to be counterproductive.

When the arrangement was almost done, there was an explosion in the distance. Ryan recognized it as the sound of the cherry bomb he had given to the centaurs before. The spiders were coming!
Ryan quickly ran back to the top of the hill where he had prepared his position and began to prepare. Wolfe, relying on his fast running speed, buried a few more potato mines before slowly retreating back to the hill.

As the explosion sounded closer, the sound of horse hooves mixed in. In addition, there were some strange noises. After a while, Ryan saw the horsemen rushing out of the woods. Although they didn't seem to be injured, Ryan found that each of them looked a little tired after careful observation. The two quivers they prepared were almost empty, and only the quiver on their backs was still full.

No wonder they became the symbol of war in the cold weapon era. Ryan had seen their quivers, each of which held an average of 30 arrows. They could shoot 60 arrows in a short period of time, which was far beyond the level of humans.

The unicorns rushed out from behind, and from time to time they would send lightning from their horns to attack the forbidden forest behind them. They were truly magical creatures that could rival dragons.

When all the combatants on his side retreated to the hill, Ryan handed over the control of the plants to several centaurs and Wolf. This was one of the pre-planned plans. After all, these centaurs knew both sides better and could cause greater damage to the eight-eyed giant spider.

Ryan walked into the magic circle that had just been prepared. This magic circle was learned from the Maoshan Taoist scriptures. It mainly provides energy for the user, and also provides a simple shelter around the magic circle to prevent the affected people from being harmed by evil spirits.

This magic circle is relatively simple. It took Ryan only three minutes to set it up. From the outside, the magic circle looks like a copper nail nailed to the ground, and then a line dyed red with rooster blood is wrapped around the copper nail to form a formation. The only difference from the original is that Ryan chose the sunlight crystal to provide energy for the magic circle, because this is the only consumable he can choose. But fortunately, this choice also makes this magic circle have stronger yang energy, which is more restraining to the eight-eyed giant spider.

When everything was ready, a crackling sound was heard in the jungle, and the eight-eyed giant spiders came.
