Chapter 407: Return to London
Hermione also felt a little regretful about the trip, but she reassured Ryan that she would have the opportunity to hang out with her in the future anyway. This comfort made Ryan feel much more comfortable inside.
At the hotel reception, they booked their tickets to return to the UK tomorrow, and the two of them went to rest early, and at 12 noon the next day, they appeared at London's Heathrow Airport with tired faces.
"You can sleep on my shoulder for a while. After getting on the subway to King's Cross, Ryan said to Hermione next to her. Hermione naturally leaned over and rested her head on Ryan's shoulder. They got up at five o'clock this morning because the roads were closed by heavy snow in Moscow, and they had to leave early to avoid getting stuck on the road and not catching the plane.
The subway is quiet and runs smoothly. Hermione soon fell asleep until Ryan woke her up.
"We're there?" asked Hermione, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes, we're at King's Cross. After a while, we took the subway directly to Sirius's ancestral home. The Weasleys and Harry both live there. Ryan saw that Hermione was a little confused, so he handed her a wet towel to wipe her face and sober up.
When they walked up the steps in front of Room 12 of Quarantine Mo Square and knocked on the door, Mrs. Weasley soon opened the door for them. "Oh, my dear, you should have a good time in Russia. There's no need to rush back at this time. Arthur's injuries were not fatal, and the healer said that he had found a solution to the venom. β
After saying that, Mrs. Weasley looked at Ryan: "This time it is also thanks to the defensive bracelet you sold to the Order of the Phoenix before, Arthur said that the defensive bracelet helped him block the deadliest first blow and did not let the snake bite his teeth into his chest." Really thank you for saving him."
"That's what I'm supposed to do, and I made these things to sell to them to make a difference in times like this. After hugging Mrs. Weasley, Ryan said, "Can you show me the bracelet?" I wonder how the python broke the bracelet's defenses with one blow." β
"You've come so far to work without resting, reallyβ" Mrs. Weasley looked a little embarrassed, but at Lane's insistence, she took the bracelet from the living room cabinet.
Unlike the previous copper bracelets sold in stores, the defensive function of these bracelets for the Order of the Phoenix has been strengthened. To achieve this, Ryan chose to mix refined silver with a little bit of goblin silver to make silver wire, which was then twisted with Valyrian steel wire and fused the runes made of these wires onto the silver bracelet body using the threading process. There are also a lot of purple crystals on it to power the defensive magic.
The defense of the bracelet made in this way is not weak, and even a one-ton iron block falling from the fifth floor will not destroy the ejected protective shield. Ryan really couldn't figure out how that normal-sized snake could bite through the defenses.
But when Mrs. Weasley handed over the bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief, the problem became even more complicated. When he opened the handkerchief, Ryan saw that the entire silver bracelet was pitch black, and the crystal that had been transparent before had become extremely cloudy. The destruction of pure physical defenses would theoretically mean that the bracelet would not become like this, and there must be something he didn't know.
"That's it when I took this bracelet off Arthur's hand. Mrs. Weasley said as Ryan examined the bracelet. "And Arthur told me that he felt the bracelet burn violently as the protective barrier broke. β
"Thank you, this news is very useful to me. After saying that, Ryan asked Mrs. Weasley, "Is the lab I got here here during the summer vacation still there?"
"Absolutely. Mrs. Weasley nodded, "Since no one knows what you put some of the things in there for, Sirius simply sealed the house with magic, and I went tell him to open the blockade." With that, Mrs. Weasley hurried away.
"You're tired of running around these days, so go rest and see you at dinner. Looking at Mrs. Weasley's back as she left, Ryan turned to Hermione.
"Ha-yaw-" Hermione yawned, a look of exhaustion. "Okay, I'll go back to my upstairs room and go to bed, don't make yourself too tired, and I'll see you in the afternoon." With that, she carried her luggage and walked upstairs. Ryan, on the other hand, walked to the former underground pantry turned into an alchemy laboratory.
After saying hello to Sirius at the door of the lab, Ryan went straight into the lab. Sirius's lockdown spell was so effective that three or four months had passed, and there wasn't even a speck of dust on the equipment.
"Thoth, God of wisdom, let what is before you be revealed, and what is before you be revealed. Ryan began to recite an alchemical spell in Old Coptic that he had learned from the Hogwarts library. At the same time, the wand was used to write ancient Egyptian holy script runes in the air.
Under the influence of magic, the bracelet placed on the table projected an illusion upwards. Then the phantom moved, and began to reconstruct little by little how it had been destroyed. Ryan was shocked to find that the bracelet was severely overloaded the moment the shield was destroyed, and then burned out in its entirety.
"It seems that Nagini Venom is not only a simple biochemical weapon, but also contains powerful magical damage. Now the question is, is this the ability of the snake itself, or is it the result of Voldemort's own soul tablet being put on it?" Ryan thought after looking at the results of the experiment.
It's a pity that Nagini's snake is estimated to be the only one in the world, so there is no information to support Ryan's conjecture. But Ryan can also figure out why Snape gave up treatment after being bitten by Nagini in the original text: on the one hand, he really didn't have much sense of survival at that time, and on the other hand, it may be because Nagini injected more venom after Snape was bitten, and as a potions master, he immediately judged that the antidote he had at hand could not remove the snake venom, and it was definitely too late.
Otherwise, as a Potions Master, Snape must have a lot of high-grade antidotes on him, and if the venom is well solved, Snape will not die in the end.
However, because of this incident, Ryan also found that he was still a little conservative in his previous design, so he began to design a new generation of more defensive protective props directly in front of the alchemy table. However, it is a very difficult challenge to integrate more powerful defenses on a bracelet and at the same time keep the price down to the right level. Ryan was fully engaged in the afternoon. It wasn't until dinner in the evening that he was awakened from his musings by Mrs. Weasley's knock on the door.
"Anyway, this thing can't be made overnight, so let's eat first. Ryan thought about packing up the things in front of him, went straight out and turned left towards the kitchen.
At the kitchen door, several of the Weasley boys ran over to hug Ryan. Thanks to the defense bracelet he made earlier for saving their father.
The dinner was made with the cooperation of Mrs. Weasley and Kleecher, and it was very delicious, especially the taste of home in the cooked meal, which touched Ryan and Hermine a lot when their parents were not around.
In short, although Ryan was very tired from today's journey, this dinner made all his tiredness disappear. Looking at everyone talking and laughing at the table, he felt that this might be the power of home.
