Chapter 459 Perpetual Motion Machine - Pauper Version
Inside Smith Castle, there was silence in the deep basement.

Unlike Ryan, who is a time traveler and has an amazing desire to pry into the private lives of these original characters, Penelope does not have much curiosity.

The gossipy Kate wasn't too interested because she knew what Dumbledore and the others were going to talk about next.

The result was that Kate and Penelope went to the study to read shortly after watching Harry summon the Pluto dragon.

Ryan, who was alone in the basement, was watching the video and marveling at the usefulness of Peter Pettigrew.

As a member of the castle family in the magic world, Smith has always had a strong sense of security.

Ryan knew very well how useful the magic was hidden in the house he lived in.

For wizards, no matter how strong the fortress is or how dangerous the fortification is, it can be broken with a simple transformation spell.

But if the house contained magic, especially magic that contained universal counters to common spells, this meant that, as long as its structure was physically strong, it could also be an impenetrable fortress for wizards.

Thinking of this, Ryan turned off the projection and walked out of the basement.

The human part of Peter Pettigrew's soul in the box is still in chaos.

Under the control of the Lord God, they worked diligently and used magic to permeate every brick and stone of the castle, adding to the defense of Smith Castle.

If it was the original Smith Castle, there would be no need for Peter Pettigrew's pitiful magic power.

The original Smith Castle had long since been repaired and maintained by successive Smiths to a state where no further improvements could be made.

Every piece of land and brick and stone is imbued with a hidden magic.

But the illusion from the outside, the newly built castle, is not like the original castle.

Although Ryan can easily restore the state of the Smith Castle in the outside world by consuming his least valuable magic power while the real Smith Castle is intact.

It can be said that even if it is bombed by nuclear bombs thousands of times, Ryan can still restore it to its past state.

But it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After getting used to living in a villa, it is no longer possible to tolerate the large flat that you once thought was luxurious.

So does Ryan.

Although the Smith Castle in the outside world looks exactly the same as the real Smith Castle hidden in another dimension, Ryan, who has excellent perception, can sense the difference.

It was like walking naked on the street.

At that time, Ryan was hesitating whether to divide time and complete in one second the feat that generations of Smiths had accomplished for thousands of years - to permeate magic into every corner of the Smith Castle.

But he gave up.

After all, although the time in the outside world is only one second, he can truly experience so many worlds.

Then he discovered something he had overlooked for a long time.

As the wizard's soul, Peter Pettigrew is really good!

The core of the Lord resides in the real Smith Castle.

The soul of Peter Pettigrew is equivalent to the core of the castle in the outside world, allowing this new castle to quickly possess traces of magic under the continuous output of a wizard.

As long as the main body of the mouse, Banban, is still alive, the wizard part of his soul will not lose its magic like an ordinary ghost.

Ghosts lose their magic powers because, without a physical body, all of their magical powers are used to resist death, thus achieving the immortality of their souls before death.

At the cost of losing most of the senses, he remains in the world in a projection-like state.

After Peter Pettigrew suffered from soul exhaustion due to excessive output, he was able to rely on the existence of his physical body, the rat Banban, and the magic magnetic field to restore his original state.

This is the same principle as how Voldemort relied on Horcruxes to remain immortal.

Voldemort used it to remain immortal, while Peter Pettigrew used it to restore his magic power.

This is the perpetual motion machine - the poor man's version.

All you need is a wizard's soul and keep his body alive.

In the restaurant on the second floor of the castle, Ryan drank black tea and marveled at his great invention.

Peter Pettigrew was destined to live forever as a mouse.

In order to help him find the meaning of life and not live a life of mediocrity, Ryan generously made a decision for him - to become a perpetual motion machine.

This is much better than being a mouse.

Of course, this is not true perpetual motion. When the mouse Banban dies, this perpetual motion machine is also declared scrapped.

"Ryan, what did Harry Potter and the others say next?" Kate sneaked behind Ryan and suddenly said.

Sure enough, Kate escaped from the study.

Kate likes reading though.

But she couldn't sit still like Penelope.

She prefers to practice waving her wand while reading a book.

But with Penelope around, she could only sit and watch quietly.

"Humph!"

"Why don't you call me brat anymore?" Ryan opened his arms.

The next second, the sound of bat wings flapping was heard.

Kate behind Ryan disappeared on the spot, leaving only a blood-red halo of magic.

She appeared in Ryan's lap, curled up in his arms.

He rubbed Ryan's chin with his head as if to please him.

"What did you say afterwards?"

"Just talked about the old Grindelwald."

"Ron screamed again—because of Grindelwald's return."

"You can easily guess what will happen next. Harry and the others will definitely ask whether Grindelwald is in danger now that he has escaped."

"Dumbledore naturally stabilized the situation easily, and hinted that Grindelwald was also one of them."

"Also informed Grindelwald that he now controls Durmstrang." Ryan touched Kate's hair, lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said with squinted eyes.

"Then - after Voldemort is resurrected, will you take action?" Kate asked after hesitating for a moment.

She was a student at Hogwarts and also grew up in England.

If war breaks out, some people or things she is familiar with might be affected.

If Ryan was only as strong as Voldemort, Kate wouldn't ask such a question.

She was also worried about Ryan getting hurt.

But Ryan was powerful enough to easily defeat Voldemort. After thinking for a moment, Kate asked the question she had already thought of.

"No, but there won't be any casualties." Ryan was a little surprised, but answered immediately.

He looked at Kate and said again, "I promise."

As time went by, he became more and more confident of winning against the Grim Reaper.

If the God of Death still had thoughts, he did not format his personality as he guessed.

After he formally inserts himself and destroys the prophecy that the Grim Reaper is concerned about, the Grim Reaper will "see" him.

He didn't want to confront Him so soon.

And if He really has mechanized thinking, the afterlife that has covered the entire earth will also be Ryan's territory.

Souls in the afterlife.

The Smiths of all generations, as well as Ryan's biological parents, will also meet him again.

For some reason, Ryan felt a little embarrassed when he thought of this.

He didn't know how to face them.
