The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 96 Ending and Harvest

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Ryan couldn't help but sigh at the magic of fate. It was originally just an ordinary hunt, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, it turned into a thorough cleanup of the eight-eyed giant spider.

However, looking at the faces of the centaurs around him, Ryan found that they were very happy about this unexpected situation. After all, for them, this was also a complete elimination of a major scourge in the Forbidden Forest. Even if this was unplanned, it did not affect their good mood.

Although blocking the door of a group of old, weak and sick creatures and preparing to completely destroy them seems a bit like a villain, but eradicating evil is also a very important principle. Ryan does not think this is an evil act. After all, the unicorn, a symbol of kindness, has no objection to this practice.

This also reminded Ryan of the sentence imposed on the Death Eaters after Voldemort was defeated for the first time. Many Death Eaters were imprisoned despite the deaths of so many people. This led to the fact that after Voldemort was resurrected, these Voldemort cronies escaped from prison and committed more murders.

If they had just killed them all before, would so many people not have died later? In this respect, Ryan felt that the wizards in Britain were not as sensible as the unicorns.

While thinking about these things, Ryan's men were not idle either. He tied all the grenades into a large cluster grenade, and then discussed the battle plan with the centaurs.

Following Betty's order, several centaurs threw the remaining seven or eight cherry bombs into the cave entrance. With a few loud explosions, the spiders at the cave entrance were cleared out.

Before the spiders in the cave rushed out, Ryan used his magic wand to direct the cluster grenades to fly straight into the cave, and at the same time used magic to pull the fuse of the grenade.

Feeling that the grenade had successfully flown deep into the cave, Ryan shouted, "Hide!" Then he ran quickly behind a rock, squatted down, held his head and opened his mouth wide.

Just after he hid, Ryan heard a huge explosion, and could even feel the shock wave in the air making his internal organs feel uncomfortable. Even though he had covered his ears and opened his mouth in advance, the huge noise still made his ears buzz.

After confirming that the explosion was over, Ryan walked out of his hiding place. At this time, the centaurs and unicorns also walked out of their respective hiding places.

Ryan was about to observe the result of the explosion when he saw a dark shadow rushing over from the valley entrance. It turned out to be Mr. Huilang Wall. Because he couldn't cover his ears, he could only let him wait outside the valley entrance.

"Oh my God, oh my God, what a terrible explosion. You don't know, I even saw a spider leg flying directly in front of me." As soon as Wolfe arrived here, he began to describe what he saw at the entrance of the valley.

Ryan also saw the scene clearly at this time: the spider's remains and green blood were radiating out of the cave, and some of the remains were burning with flames of varying sizes.

Ryan cast a magic to detect life in the cave and found that all the spiders inside were dead. After more than ten minutes, two centaurs went into the cave to check. When they came out, they reported that all the spiders near the explosion center were blown to pieces. In particular, they found Aragog's head that was blown off on a sharp stone in the cave.

In addition, the appearance of more spiders was still intact, and they might have been suffocated or burned to death. They found dozens of eggs in the deepest part of the cave, but they had all been cooked by the high temperature.

It seems that the problem of the eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest has been completely solved this time, and everyone involved in this battle had a smile on their face.

The unicorns then said goodbye and left, while Betty arranged for the centaurs to collect the spoils from the spider.

Ryan still followed the previous rules and set up altars at two battlefields, and then purified the land filled with death due to the battle. He also picked out the dead spiders with good appearance and sent them to Crazy Dave through the space-time gate. The purification of the riverside station was completed quickly, but the purification in the nest of the eight-eyed giant spider was much more difficult than expected. In the end, Ryan had to consume a lot of magic materials he had previously stored before the purification was completed.

After the ceremony, Ryan realized that this forest had accumulated countless souls because of the killings of the eight-eyed giant spiders. As dark creatures, the eight-eyed giant spiders polluted the jungle and prevented these souls from returning to nature. Over the past few decades, the souls have gradually been polluted by the dark environment.

So what Ryan purified was not only the soul of the eight-eyed giant spider, but also the souls accumulated over the past few decades.

Although the loss of materials was not small, Ryan still gained a lot. The most important thing was that his soul magic was further strengthened. At the same time, every time he purified a soul, Ryan could feel that his merits were strengthened, and at the same time he could speed up his spiritual power cultivation.

At the same time, because of clearing the eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, Ryan gained 6 deflection points.

After doing all this, Ryan found that the sun had set and he had to hurry back to the castle. Ms. Betty asked Wolfe to take Ryan to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest and agreed that Wolfe would give Ryan the materials obtained from the processed spiders in a week. The specific time would be notified in the Emerald Dream.

On the way back, Wolfe kept chattering. Ryan could only listen with a smile. When they reached the exit of the Forbidden Forest, Ryan found that Wolfe seemed a little reluctant to leave.

Come to think of it, if a creature with a young human soul were to live with those weird centaurs for a long time, it would be lucky if it didn't get depressed.

So Ryan promised Wolfe that he would come to see him as long as he was free, and would ask Aunt Betty to inform him of the specific time.

After comforting Wolfe, Ryan returned to the castle smoothly. Unfortunately, it was already 7:30 and dinner time had passed.

Ryan remembered that he had not finished eating the compressed biscuits he had stuffed into his space bag last time, so he decided to go back to the dormitory and use cold water and compressed biscuits to make do with this meal.

After he dragged his tired body into the common room, a brown furry head came into his sight. Then he was pulled to the corner of the common room by a quick and urgent chatter.

"Ryan, where have you been? I didn't see you at dinner, and your roommate said you weren't in the dormitory at all this afternoon. If I can't find you again, I'm going to tell Professor McGonagall."

Ryan felt a little guilty when he saw Hermione's angry look. After all, it was not a gentleman's behavior to trouble others to worry. So he organized his words and said:

"I'm sorry, Hermione, for making you worry. I went to the Forbidden Forest alone this afternoon and met an interesting friend." Ryan then diverted Hermione's attention by introducing Wolfe's life and experience, and also gave her an explanation.

When Ryan was explaining to Hermione, he also felt a little happy. After all, it was really good to have someone care about you.
