In the end, in Hermione's witness, Mr. Greengrass had no choice but to swear allegiance to Ryan through an ancient magical oath. Ryan, on the other hand, promised to keep them safe and promised not to interfere in his family's affairs under normal circumstances.

As a sincere attempt to take refuge, Greengrass specially took out a large pile of materials from the family's secret room and handed them to Ryan. Luckily, Ryan had no interest in a few of their family's unique bloodline magic, which gave him a long sigh of relief.

In fact, the Malfoy family also handed over all their inheritance except for bloodline magic at that time, which is also the most important prerequisite for Ryan to ask them to take an oath, as for bloodline magic, which is regarded as the core of the pure-blood family, Ryan doesn't care, for him, everything that can't be used is meaningless.

And the knowledge they taught the guerrillas when they led the guerrillas to attack everywhere before, except for a small part specially prepared by Ryan, the rest was obtained from the selection and optimization of spell casting skills obtained by the pure-blood family.

After all, Ryan's own magic comes from multiple worlds, and wizards in this world will have some difficulty in learning, and those knowledge from purebloods will not have those learning difficulties caused by cultural differences in different worlds. So now those Lane and their followers are mainly learning the parts that have been optimized from the pure-blood family knowledge.

"Why are you talking about the Greengrasses?" said Lane and the others, after receiving all the information he now had from Mr. Greengrass, returned to their estate. As soon as she got home, Hermione asked her inner question. "We could kill him tonight and then torture his soul. ”

"And then, even if we wiped out all the pure-blood families on the side of the Death Eaters, the situation of the hemp wizards would be better at best, but there would be no real equality. Don't forget, there are pure-blood wizards on our side. Ryan thought of the Weasleys, who became the biggest winners after the war.

When he was a child, Ryan thought that good had triumphed over evil, but now that I think about it, this is actually the equivalent of one pure-blood family replacing another pure-blood family in terms of ending, and the hemp wizard did gain some benefits, but the structure of society did not change. Everything is not much different from the past.

So that's why he wants to keep a pure-blood family like Malfoy or Greengrass, a controllable, but ostensibly rival pure-blood wizard family who is on his side in this war, and can let the pure-blood families contain each other after the war, leaving room for the hemp wizards to live in the first place.

After explaining, Hermione nodded slightly in understanding. Then the two men went to the study and made a pot of strong tea, ready to spend the night analyzing the information they had received from Mr. Greengrass.

"The only source we have about the Hopping Pot is from this fairy tale book. Ryan said, taking out the book from before and flipping it to the story of the Hopping Pot, and then pointed to one of the passages.

For the rest of the week, no more villagers came to the wizard's house for help, but the crucible kept telling him about their illness. In just a few days, it not only barked and moaned as a donkey, threw tears and sprang sarcoma as it jumped, but also coughed and retched, cried like a baby, wailed like a dog, and spat out spoiled cheese and sour milk, and countless hungry slugs. ”

In other words, this magic cauldron is able to gather all these bad things around you and reveal them. After listening to this passage read by Ryan, Hermione was keenly aware of the horror of this conspiracy, "If the effect is reversed, according to Greengrass—"

"If the effect is reversed, it means that as long as you put some targeted potions in this pot, you can make all the people around you be affected by the effects of the potions at the same time. As a master alchemist, Ryan easily deduced the specific effects of this alchemy item. "For example, if you put a special poison in the pot, you can transform everyone around you into a yin corpse. ”

"And most importantly, if you want to infect as many people as possible and spread it to a larger area, then the magic that spreads evenly over everyone's head is not too much. In this way, wizards with magical power will not be tricked, and ordinary people without magic in their bodies will be unlucky. This is in keeping with the slogan of the people in the south to purge them of their filthy blood. ”

"So we have to stop this. Hermione concluded. "By the way, do we need to inform Headmaster Dumbledore? I think the Headmaster would be of some help if he knew about it. ”

"No need. Ryan thought about it for a moment and rejected the suggestion. "Greengrass said before that the mystery man would choose a location in the north at this time to carry out a raid. In the unlikely event that Professor Dumbledore had weakened our defenses, I believe the Mystics would have turned the planned attention-grabbing feint into a strong attack, in case we lost too much to make it happen. ”

"Of course, in order to avoid what the other party is doing in this operation, I will be well prepared. Ryan reassured Hermione when he saw that she was a little uneasy. "Anyway, according to Mr. Greengrass, the operation will start on January 13, and we have almost half a month to prepare, which is enough. ”

"It's a pity that even he doesn't know where the mystery man's ritual is arranged, and we can only get the signal from his wife when he leaves the house to start moving. Hermione said with some regret.

"It's very much in line with the character of the mystery man, who doesn't tell anyone what to do at the last minute. Ryan shrugged, "Of course, this may also be a ploy on the part of Mr. Greengrass, who should want to make sure that we have fulfilled our promise and that our wife and children have been successfully transferred to a safe place." ”

"It's—" Hermione pursed her lips vigorously, and Ryan suddenly felt that she was doing something like Professor McGonagall. Soon, though, Hermione reverted to her usual expression. "I can understand his uneasiness when he first worked together, but to be honest, these pure-blood wizards are too wary. ”

"Because they have to fight all their lives, not only the enemies who may pose a threat to them, but also the friends with whom they were even yesterday. Keep in mind that every pure-blood family that survives to this day will not be that simple. Ryan raised an eyebrow, then recounted the facts in a slightly heavy tone.

"That Draco Malfoy—" Hermione frowned, the first thing that came to her mind when she thought of the pure-blood family was Malfoy, but Malfoy and the pure-blood family in Ryan's narrative didn't seem to be the same breed at all. "Why does he look so - childish. ”

"Because Malfoy doesn't belong to the core pure-blood. Ryan said, "In the eyes of a true pure-blood family, the Malfoys are just nouveau riche. Don't forget that they never entered the Ministry of Magic, although externally because the Malfoys used to hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything, but from another point of view, they were not excluded by others so that they could not enter the Ministry of Magic and hold power at all. ”

"You have a point. Hermione nodded slightly, then asked. "So, what about the Weasleys, are they so calculating?"

"No, of course not. Ryan shook his head slightly, then thought of a fact that Headmaster Dumbledore had pointed out in the books when he was in his second year: the Weasleys were one of the most prestigious families of pure wizarding blood.

"I think each family has its own way of survival, and the one I just mentioned is only suitable for most pure-blood families. The Weasleys are an exception, and they are so famous because they are large enough. Consider that there were only three members of the Malfoy family, and that there were at least 100 Weasleys we saw at the last wedding. According to Mrs. Weasley, not the entire family was not yet the entire population, and many members of the family living abroad did not arrive. ”

"That's good. Hermione patted her chest lightly, she didn't dare how bad the world would be if the Weasleys were so harmonious and friendly if it were just a disguise.
