Chapter 327: New Business (Subscriptions, Collections, Tickets)

If only Headmaster Dumbledore could actually take out Voldemort, maybe he could gain a lot of offset points at once. Ryan thought happily as he listened to the pleasant sound in his head. Because he changed the big event of Voldemort's resurrection, this time he gained 38 offset points in one go.

Of course, this kind of good thing is just to think about, and with Voldemort's cunning, he will definitely hide himself tightly in this situation. Even if you want to make trouble, it is estimated that you will not go until you have completely recovered.

However, Voldemort is still cautious enough, this time Ryan can be sure that Voldemort does not have a trace of hair on his body through observation, which means that no one can use Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as him. So Voldemort's bald head is not just to get stronger, but most likely also to prevent someone from being able to become like him.

Ryan feels that his biggest problem now is that he has too much knowledge but has not fully integrated it, such as he obtained the shapeless person's transformation ability through mercury lamp, but even if he wants to get a person's memory after many improvements, he still needs this person's face. This means that this method cannot be used openly, and if you have the opportunity to go out with others in the future, even if you kill the enemy, you will not be able to obtain information. And there are many similar problems.

So even if Voldemort has been resurrected during this time, it still hasn't affected Ryan's plan before. In his spare time, he continued to analyze and improve the information on the supernatural powers he had obtained from other worlds. After all, only by further integrating the power at his disposal can he improve his strength in order to gain more advantages in the next battle.

Thankfully, Dumbledore was now in full form, and he was able to play against a severely weakened version of Voldemort without falling out with the Ministry of Magic completely. So this time should still be relatively relaxed, and I can find time to do some other things.

With the tacit cooperation of Dumbledore and Fudge, the news of Voldemort's return was kept tightly hidden. However, the previous kidnapping case and the dark web that the vampires had built up in Europe were thoroughly exposed in the newspapers. Rita Skeeter's pen was sharp enough, and her cynicism combined with the detailed contents of the ledger seized from the vampire completely angered the wizarding world, and countless howling letters were sent to the Ministry of Magic.

It's no wonder that wizards have never treated other sapient beings as their own equals. In any case, they would not accept that a noble wizard should be fed by such a filthy inferior creature, especially if the target was a young wizard. Naturally, under this turbulent public opinion, Headmaster Dumbledore's proposal to launch an operation to completely clean up the dark side of the wizarding world naturally won the support of the vast majority of wizards at this time.

For the rest of the day, obvious targets such as Tumbledown Alley were repeatedly searched by members of the Ministry of Magic. Even some pure-blood families had to hide their dark magic artifacts to avoid trouble.

But this storm did not affect Hogwarts except for some talking points, and the school still slowly did its own thing according to its own arrangement. Except for one thing that caused a stir in the school: Crouch, the referee of the Triwizard Tournament, was arrested in St. Munger.

The fact that Crouch helped his son escape from prison is still exposed, and this kind of thing can't stand up to investigation as long as there is a heart. According to Percy's letters, Crouch was relieved when he was arrested, probably after returning home that day and seeing the unconscious house-elf and missing son.

Percy also lamented his luck at the end of the letter: if he had gone to work under Crouch, it is estimated that there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat now.

In addition, Percy asked the twins if they needed alchemy materials in a letter to them, because Percy had recently raided a lot of illegal places and seized a lot of alchemy materials that were usually difficult to buy.

According to the rules of the Ministry of Magic, the seizure of such risky actions is divided into a portion to the executor. Among them, the good ones with large amounts or high value naturally belong to the Ministry of Magic, and they, the low-level clerks, can only take some things that are out of the door and have a relatively single purpose. The Ministry of Nature and Magic could exchange these items for gold, but the price given was very tricky.

So Percy, who has now become a squad leader, came to ask the twins if they needed these materials, and if so, he could just get some benefits for his subordinates.

"How did he know we were in the store?" the twins couldn't be sure, so they brought a letter to ask Ryan directly, who had just returned to the common room after lunch. Fred asked a little curiously as Ryan looked at the list attached to the letter, because they had never told Percy that they were now in business.

"Percy: They've been patrolling Diagon Alley lately, and it's a little bigger. Your shopkeeper is there with a bunch of people who collect and ship goods all day long, and it would be strange if he didn't find out. Ryan stared at the list of materials and said, "At least your brother has been working much better than before, and he didn't write to Mrs. Weasley even when he knew you were opening a shop." ”

"That's right. "It's true that this job has made him better. The twins said in an aria from the side.

"Alright, you two don't mess around. Ryan looked at the two people who were playing and said, "We can take 90% of the things in this list." ”

"But most of the things we're making now don't need that. Fred asked Ryan, "Of course we want to help our own brother, but we don't have to pay to help him." ”

"Who said they were going to lose money?" Ryan's eyes widened. "Don't you think this is a good opportunity to make money by adding new products? Considering that the Dark Wizards have been purged recently, and the Ministry of Magic has mobilized a lot of staff who are not Aurors or Strikers, many of whom have not learned much about combat. We can sell them some labor protection supplies. ”

"Labor protection supplies?" George looked at Ryan, "What can we sell? It can't be clothes with an iron armor charm, haha-"

He had just laughed a few times with his brother when he saw Ryan staring at them with serious eyes.

"You're not telling you the truth, are you? There's a whole bunch of people in the Ministry of Magic who can't even do this simple spell?" the two men smiled, and then Fred asked with a look of disbelief.

"It's true. Ryan also had a depressed expression. "This thing was told to me by Percy in a letter, in which he said that only three of his five-man squad knew the Iron Armor Charm, and one of the other two people who knew the Iron Armor Charm could only be released during normal practice, and he couldn't release it when he was nervous when he encountered an enemy. ”

"God, no wonder my father said he was the most powerful in their division. Could it be that the Ministry of Magic has declined to such an extent now?" the twins were stunned by the news.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Weasley seems to work for only two people in the Division Against the Abuse of Muggle Items, and I heard him complain during the summer that his colleague was a very old man who would normally spend a lot of time working overtime. ”

"It doesn't matter. Fraser quickly digressed the subject. "The core is that you said that this will indeed be a big market, but we don't have enough preparation for the time being!"

"I have one here. Ryan finished and took out a small notebook. "I've been trying to make my copper bracelet cheaper even more, and this is the result of my research, and I can use these raw materials. ”

"Cheapened, will this affect the sales of your bracelet?" asked George, a little worried.

"No, but in order to reduce the cost and production difficulty, this product can only be regarded as half an alchemy product, and the biggest problem is that the effect weakens very quickly with the passage of time. For example, a defensive magic robe is only valid for one year, beyond which the magic on it will quickly wear off and eventually become invalid. But it's good that each thing costs only two Galleons to achieve this level. Ryan explained.

"Indeed, not to mention that if something is good, we can sell it again next year. The twins said in unison.
