Around seven o'clock the next morning, Ryan and Hermione finally yawned and got out of bed. After sleeping for more than ten hours, they finally reversed the jet lag, and after a brief tidying up and going to the hotel's restaurant to have a buffet breakfast, the two of them came to Songjiang Ji again to use the cloud road site there to go to Li Chang'an.

Unlike the Celestial Dynasty Fangshi Academy, which is located in the center of Li Chang'an, the headquarters of the Celestial Dynasty Fang Shu Federation is located on a small plateau in the northeast corner of Li Chang'an. After leaving Yunlu Station, the two of them walked north along Danfeng Street for seven or eight minutes, and they came to Danfeng Square, the largest square in Chang'an.

The most eye-catching thing in the square is the six huge bronze figures standing on each side of the square, each of which is about ten meters tall. As a master alchemist, Ryan could sense that these bronze figures were not just decorations, but also powerful magical puppets. It has extremely powerful magical and physical dual combat abilities.

These bronze figures are more than 2,000 years old, but they still look spectacular. They stood quietly on both sides of the square, no matter how the outside world changed, the vicissitudes of life have always maintained their standing movements and quietly guarded this place.

"The 12 bronze men of the First Emperor? This should represent the essence of a magical world that has been passed down for thousands of years. Ryan paused and looked at the national treasures that he had heard of in his previous life for several minutes, and then he continued to walk forward until Hermione began to urge.

After passing through the Danfeng Gate, guarded by heavily armed Celestial Wizards, Ryan finally entered the headquarters of the Fangshu Federation, which was surrounded by a high red wall. Without a high wall to obstruct the view, Ryan discovered that unlike the underground buildings of the British Ministry of Magic, the headquarters of the Celestial Empire's Alchemy Federation was built in a whole group of small palaces in the classical style of the Oriental tradition. He could see buildings built around a small hill, and the nine-room large palace at the top was probably the Hanyuan Hall that was used as the meeting hall of the Alchemist Federation.

Of course, Ryan didn't need to go there today, and the hall would only open for major events or meetings. They followed the instructions of the road signs, bypassed the tall halls lined up on the central axis, and came to a small courtyard located on the east side of the Hanyuan Palace. When Ryan entered, he caught a glimpse of the plaque with the words "Honglu Temple" written on it.

"Why do we come to such a religious occasion?" asked Hermione curiously when she saw the words on the plaque.

"What religion?" Ryan was confused by the question, but he quickly understood it and laughed. "In the Celestial Empire, not all places with the word temple are religious occasions, especially for the wizards of the Celestial Empire, they have inherited many ancient terms, such as Honglu Temple, which is equivalent to our International Magic Cooperation Division. ”

"That's right—" Hermione smiled sheepishly, she had used the memory in Ryan's hand to instill machine-learned Mandarin. Therefore, the mastery of this language is still unsatisfactory in some places.

After entering the gate of the Honglu Temple, Ryan told the old priest in the communication room next to the gate what he meant. The old man, with a white beard comparable to Dumbledore, checked the hardcover black notebook in front of him and said, "Mr. Liang and Miss Granger from England? After entering the door for a while, turn left directly into the second house, where Master Li is already waiting for you. ”

"Thank you. Ryan thanked the porter of the Celestial Dynasty Fangshu Federation and came to the place he had just pointed out, and when he entered the door, he found that there was not only Master Li in the room, but also a few alchemists who seemed to have quite an identity. After Ryan handed over the handwritten letter from Dumbledore that he carried, a middle-aged man in a navy blue tunic took the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end, and then asked Ryan his own questions.

"Mr. Liang, judging from the information we have obtained, the current situation in the British wizarding world is very bad. So can you tell us what you think about the current state of wizarding in the UK? ”

"Of course, but I don't think I'm able to analyze it thoroughly with my qualifications and knowledge. I can only make some simple judgments based on my own experience. Ryan said to the old man in a navy blue tunic that the badge on his chest showed that the old man's surname was Wang.

"That's enough, we actually need this kind of first-hand information from the British wizarding world right now. Because of race and a range of other reasons, we have very few people in Europe, and a lot of information can only be obtained through other people's narratives, and this information is basically some second-hand material that has been distorted or deleted. This leaves us with an incomplete picture of the current state of the wizarding world in Britain. Another young man in a black tunic, his badge telling Ryan that he was Master Lee.

"In that case, I'll just say it. Ryan glanced at the officials of the Celestial Empire Fangshu Federation who were sitting here and said. "Personally, I feel that the British wizarding world is in a very bad state right now, or rather, on the brink of war. And the war will be a long all-out war that could engulf the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe. ”

Ryan didn't think that the Celestial Empire wouldn't even be able to see this obvious trend, so he simply said about it. At the same time, he did not forget to fight for the benefit of himself and Dumbledore. "Of course, I think that although Voldemort's side has the advantage right now, neither their proposed goals nor their war potential are inferior to our Headmaster Dumbledore's side, so I believe that we will be the ones who will win this war. ”

"When it comes to war goals, we do resent the racist slogans of your fellow Voldemort, who will get really bad if they win. The middle-aged priest surnamed Wang said, and the other monks also nodded in support of his views. "But the problem now is that Voldemort's side doesn't have as much war potential as you think. ”

"But on Voldemort's side, there are pure-blood wizards, and they are not very numerous. While there are a few foreign Death Eaters out there, I don't believe there will be too many who will be recruited by Voldemort. Ryan frowned, he had an ominous premonition.

"Unfortunately, that's not the case. Master Li shook his head. "Have you ever wondered if Voldemort had enough money to hire people? Because of the problems that arose in Eastern and Southern Europe in the last few years, there were countless impoverished wizards over there. I believe that as long as there is money, Voldemort's side can hire enough outlaws. ”

"But they don't have any money!" Hermione, who was standing behind Ryan, said with some puzzlement, "I have investigated those pure-blood families before, and they do have a lot of wealth, but most of them are real estate, magic items, or knowledge that cannot be given to others. There's not a lot of gold that can really be used to hire people. ”

"Theoretically, Miss Granger. This was even the case 24 hours ago. Master Li said. "But according to the intelligence we have intercepted, Gringotts in the United States passed a secret decree yesterday evening, they allow British wizards to borrow and borrow in the United States without restrictions, while the wealth used as collateral remains with the borrower until the repayment date. ”

"What are American wizards going to do?" Ryan frowned, knowing that due to the previous Rappaport laws, many American wizards were more inclined to support pure-blood wizards and oppose contact with people who couldn't do magic. So it's normal for them to lean even on Voldemort's side.

However, the enactment of this apparently one-sided law has come as a surprise to Ryan, as it is strange to bet on one side before the war has even broken out, especially for a powerful force like the Magical Congress of the United States.

"I think the Americans may want to make this war a little more brutal. "For a long time, Britain was the core of the European and even Western wizarding world, and even the American wizarding world was formed in imitation of the British wizarding world. However, after a long period of development, the American wizarding world has developed into a powerful force no less than the British wizarding world. We believe that the American wizards hope that this war will completely destroy the British wizarding world so that they can take the place of the British wizarding world in the world. ”

"For that group of American wizards, if they succeed, they will become the real leaders of the Western wizarding world, and by the way, they can inherit the essence of the British wizarding world. Even if they fail, they can delay the development of the British wizarding world and gain a lot of wealth, so it is inevitable that Gringotts in the United States passed this decree yesterday. Fang Shi Fangshi, surnamed Wang, added.

"It's just terrible. Ryan and Hermione glanced at each other, and they both saw an anxious look in each other's eyes. They had to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about it, asking him to prepare in advance.
