Chapter 680 Travel (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)

For the next few days, Ryan and Hermione stayed at the manor and didn't go anywhere. On the one hand, they began to make all kinds of magic items that might be used later, and on the other hand, they helped the two master wandmakers to restore their bodies.

Whether it's day or night, Ryan and they wake up on time like an alarm clock, eat, work, practice combat, and sleep. Although life is very monotonous, it is very fulfilling.

As the week drew to a close, the two wand-makers were back to the point where they could get out of bed and move around. However, when Ryan offered to send them to Hogsmeade, they refused on the spot.

"I'm never going to Hogsmeade. Grigovich, who spoke English with a strong accent, said, "You know, a master wandmaker like me is the target of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and even then I can be taken away from the layers of protection by the Dark Lord." So I don't think the northern half of the Ministry of Magic can keep me safe right now. ”

"Am I not?" Ollivander complained, "Diagon Alley is not a remote place, and patrols have been stepped up since the resurrection of the mystery man, but in the end I was not taken straight from the store. ”

"And where are you going next?" asked Hermione, looking a little distressed. "Mr. Grigovich, do you need us to send you back to your homeland in Bulgaria? ”

"No, no, no. Grigovich waved his hand. "We've just discussed, and the result of the discussion is that we want to stay with you until the end of this war, and of course we'll pay for the accommodation, and we'll promise that we won't be stingy in terms of money. In addition to this, we would like to give you some of the materials and books we have collected as a thank you gift. ”

Ryan had no doubt what he said, as a master wand maker with a long history, he must have a very rich collection of all kinds of magical materials and knowledge, even more than those of normal pure-blood families. So they say it's absolutely possible to give materials and books as thank-you gifts.

However, Ryan wondered why they had to stay in their manor, which was built entirely in the Muggle style, and wizards from the wizarding world were often not used to life here. At the same time, he didn't think he could have the prestige of Headmaster Dumbledore and let these two masters stay.

"But Hogsmeade has Professor Dumbledore guarding there now," Ryan asked tentatively. "So in terms of security, it is definitely not comparable to the Ministry of Magic full of ghosts in the past. ”

"Albus is indeed powerful, but he also has a lot of people to protect. Ollivander said in a hoarse voice. "People like us who are targeted by the Dark Lord are not safe, as we can't be under the protection of Headmaster Dumbledore at all times. ”

"Yes," Grigovich added, looking at Ryan, "at least we think it's safest to live in your manor, and you know, the Dark Lord didn't even find the manor where the Nicholas Flamell lived in the last war. We believe that as an alchemist as powerful as Nicholas, the Dark Lord will not be able to enter your manor. ”

"Of course, we are not here to simply take refuge. "I've been retired for several years, but if you can provide us with the materials, we can make wands for you during this time." ”

"If that's the case, you're welcome to stay here. Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and made a decision, many of the hemp wizards who were rescued and escaped a while ago had lost their wands, and the number of such wizards was likely to increase in the future.

Most of these wizards now use second-hand wands of poor quality, while the other part simply can't find a working wand. The lack of a wand became a well-known thing. Even Ryan and Hermione had made a special trip to a location more than a dozen kilometers away three days ago to mail Hogsmeade the wands that had been refurbished and captured from the previous battle.

So when the two wand-makers were willing to continue working on wands, Ryan decided to keep the two of them. With their help, Hogsmeade's lack of wands should be greatly alleviated.

"I think the wand-making props should be available now. Hermione wrenched her fingers and said, "The basement was emptied last time we rescued you, and it contained the best wand-making equipment. In addition, some of the materials seized are commonly used in wand-making, and I think you can use them first. ”

"If it's a room, the spare alchemy room upstairs is just right for you to use. Ryan continued, "We'll set things up for you today, and then we'll make another trip to Hogsmeade to help you get a batch of ingredients. ”

After settling the two wandmakers, Ryan and the others decided to take a trip to Hogsmeade. On the one hand, it is to procure a variety of raw materials, and on the other hand, it is to deliver recently made items to those who need them.

"It's cold. As soon as she stepped out of the door of the room, Hermione subconsciously tightened her robe. They didn't even leave the room for a week, and even the combat practice was done in the Lord of the Rings world. So as soon as I got out of the room, I found that the weather had changed.

"It's October, and it's a rainy day, how can it not be cold. Ryan said as he added a warm spell to Hermione and himself, and left the manor with her using their characteristic teleportation spell.

What the two wand masters said before was right, Ryan's manor is indeed one of the safest in the European magical world in the current state of turning on all defenses, and this powerful defense comes from the manor's special magical defense system.

Normally, the location where wizards live, no matter how defended, would leave a passage for people to come and go, like a wall with windows and doors. However, in this way, these channels often become weak points in the defense system.

And Ryan's manor is now on high alert and completely blocks all external communication channels, and this kind of defense is meaningless for other wizards, because in this way, no one can enter or leave the defended location, and people can't live in it at all.

Ryan and the others use this method because, on the one hand, their teleportation magic can bypass almost all of the magical defenses in this world, and they can enter and exit normally with these defenses. On the other hand, they have multiple worlds that can provide logistical help and can survive for a long time without communicating with the outside world.

After leaving the manor, Ryan and the others appeared on the path outside Hogsmeade. Looking at the village from their foothold, they can find that the traces of the last war have almost all been erased, only the mottled bricks and tiles and the scorched marks on the big tree at the entrance of the village still tell the fierceness of the last war.

As they walked along the road to the entrance to the village, they found that the village was now surrounded by a wall like Hogwarts. As they reached the entrance, they were stopped by a patrol, led by an old acquaintance, Cedric.

"Ryan, Hermione, it's a pleasure to meet you, now please show your pass. Cedric greeted with a smile, and several patrolmen behind him watched them vigilantly with their wands in their respective positions.

"We left more than a week ago, and we didn't know anything about the pass. Ryan said with a look of bewilderment, at least the wall didn't even exist when they left.

"That's right. Cedric nodded, "Is there any way you can prove yourself, if not, I think I might need to call Professor Dumbledore out." ”

"There's no need to bother Headmaster Dumbledore. Ryan said and waved his hand, and for a moment the pair of pink wings appeared behind his back, and then his feet floated off the ground. "Do you think that's enough?"

Knowing that the only wizard who could fly without the aid of tools was only Voldemort, so now Ryan easily proved his identity with these wings.

"Alright, you guys go in. Cedric motioned for them to enter, and the men behind him put away their wands. "You'll remember to go to the Ministry of Magic and get a pass in a moment. ”
