Chapter 719: Shocking Change
Ryan proposes a plan to relocate the Greengrass family, but Hermione vetoes it. For the sake of exemplary use, Greengrass and Malfoy are the two families who have defected to Ryan, and Ryan must ensure the safety of these two families. And the houses in Hogsmeade do not meet this requirement in terms of safety.
"Hogsmeade's current defense is okay if it wants to hold off a large-scale attack by the Death Eaters, or a small simple infiltration. But once the Mystics decide they want to kill someone, I don't think Hogsmeade will be able to hold off the raids of the elite squads. Hermione said, spreading her hands.
"And where do you think the Greengrass family would be more appropriate?" asked Ryan. "After all, they are now a source of danger, and they can't bring disaster to others because of them. ”
"Of course not. Hermione bit her lip and said. "I mean, let the Greengrass family live on this estate temporarily. I think we're going to be able to secure it here. ”
"If you decide, do it. Ryan nodded, according to British custom, all the affairs of this kind of house are decided by the hostess. So after Hermione made a decision, Ryan didn't object. After all, the estate is large and has enough space for the four Greengrass family to live. As for security, there are some separate buildings in the manor, and it is enough to pack a guest room and prohibit them from entering the main house.
So that afternoon, Ryan ordered a few of his family's Skillful Robot to clean up a small independent building in the manor, and then went to several worlds to prepare enough weapons for a small battle.
At six o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Ryan and Hermione appeared together three kilometers from Greengrass Manor. For safety reasons, Ryan and the others were ready to walk over.
"There are people around. After stepping out of a small wood, Hermione suddenly stopped vigilantly. She and Ryan were dressed in clothes similar to school uniforms at this time, carrying school bags and disguised as Muggle couples traveling on a winter day. Because when they visited here before, they found that the Greengrass family estate was very close to a hot spring spot, and it was better to dress to hide themselves.
"It's all around here, so it's normal for someone to have someone. Ryan replied to Hermione through the Phoenix Brand, "As long as you don't enter the confines of Greengrass Manor, this kind of place is not strange."
"Don't look to the right, there are two guys in suits standing inside Greengrass Manor. Hermione pulled Ryan forward and said through the Phoenix Brand. "It feels like it's specifically for us. ”
Ryan immediately realized that Hermione was right, and if they turned their heads to look at the two men who were theoretically invisible to Muggles, the Death Eaters would immediately know that Ryan was wrong.
"How could anyone be watching over here?" Ryan asked silently as he walked forward. "Our previous contact must have been very hidden, how could it be discovered by the Death Eaters?"
"I don't know, but it's not going to be that simple today. Ryan muttered quietly, he just looked at the two guys standing on the side of the road more than ten meters away from the corner of his eye, and found that these two guys were all kind of high-level dark wizards, and they also showed the aura of some kind of magic props.
After turning a corner to make sure the two men were obscured from view by a grove of trees, Ryan and Hermione cast invisibility magic and touched back. As a result, after entering the forest and communicating with the plants, Ryan sensed the presence of a third person seven or eight meters behind the two people.
The third man is now hiding in a one-man high pit with branches and leaves made out of concealment. If it weren't for the fact that the pit he dug was very close to a tree root, it would not be easy for ordinary people to find him.
"Very targeted traps. After confirming that there was no fourth ambush, Ryan thought that the wizards who knew the Greengrass family manor would definitely enter the manor through the normal entrance, and now these guys hiding on the side of the road were aimed at those who tried to infiltrate.
You must know that although the Greengrass family manor is very large, it is surrounded by magic that is used to interfere with space. It is only on this side of the Muggle Highway that this kind of interference is weakened in order to prevent wizards from inexplicably appearing in the Muggle's field of vision, and at the same time, some defensive magic is reduced to avoid accidentally injuring Muggles, so infiltration generally chooses this direction.
Fortunately, after scouting and determining the location of the three people, it was very simple to clean them up, Ryan and Hermione used magic to hide themselves and slowly approached them, and then gave an order to move at the same time, and three green lights of death flashed, and the three guys immediately rushed into the street.
Then Ryan prepared a simple ritual magic and quickly summoned their souls to start interrogating, but the information they got was terrible, the three of them were sent by Voldemort himself to detect if anyone had infiltrated the Greengrass family manor, and they had been sent here since three days ago.
"That means that our actions are likely to have been known by the mystery man, and the whole thing may even be a game set up by the mystery man. After watching Ryan send three souls to the world of the dead, Hermione pursed her lips. "So are we going to continue?"
"Of course it continues. Ryan said. "This time we underestimated the mysterious man, even if there was not much left of the soul cut into the body, but his cunning level was not much worse than in the past. Don't forget that Harry had seen the mystery man seem to have found something important in his dream, so I guess the Hopping Pot and the whole conspiracy were real. ”
"In other words, this time the mystery man wants to use this jumping pot to lure us in and kill us. Hermione concluded, "No wonder they chose you, at least you're a little bit worse than Headmaster Dumbledore, and you're not old enough. It should be a lot less difficult to kill you. ”
"Although you are telling the truth, next time you can be tactful. Ryan made a joke, and then said with a straight face. "But I don't think he could have imagined that I would be able to gain so much power in such a short period of time, so it's hard to say who attacked whom this time. ”
Upon entering Greengrass Manor, their conjecture was thoroughly confirmed. When the door was opened, there was no one here, and it was not until I entered the reception room that I found a body lying on his back on the sofa, it was none other than Mr. Greengrass.
The corpse had a look of consternation on its face, as if it was surprised by its own death. In addition, a lot of the furniture in the room was very messy, and someone must have rushed in and destroyed it all.
In addition, the corpse of the house-elf was also poured on the side of the coffee table in the reception room, and several teacups and a teapot rolled down the carpet, and the tea inside stained a large area of the carpet brownish-red.
"They died a day ago. Hermione, who had mastered necromantic magic, had examined two corpses a little and got an accurate autopsy result, and then reconstructed what had happened here at the time according to the circumstances of the scene.
"Around six o'clock last night, there were seven people and a house-elf in this living room. The three guests were known or familiar to Mr. Greengrass, and Greengrass even called his wife and children to receive them together. ”
"But just as everyone was present in the drawing-room, the guests suddenly rioted and killed Mr. Greengrass and the house-elf who was able to apparition on the scene, and then kidnapped Mrs. Greengrass and her two children. As she spoke, Hermione summoned a blue image in the air, restoring the scene throughout the process.
"What do those uninvited guests seem to have left us behind?" As Hermione was using her magic, Ryan suddenly noticed a flash of light in the corner of the room.
