The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 173 Conspiracy and Accidental Encounter (please subscribe, ask for tickets)

After the exchange, the owner and Ryan returned to the store together.What happened just now made Ryan really dare not stay here any longer, so he and Hermione hurriedly settled the bill together and left the store.When they walked out of the store, two people came from the backyard. One was Principal Fernando, and the other was a middle-aged and unsightly wizard.If Ryan was still here, he would recognize that this middle-aged wizard was the one who led them to this store when he just asked for directions.

"Frank, is that little guy reliable?" The middle-aged wizard asked the shopkeeper.

"He is even better than we imagined. I just heard that one of the group of British students could enter the Emerald Dream, so I thought he might be able to give it a try with his strength. But in the conflict caused by misunderstanding just now, I found that His strength is far beyond my imagination." Frank said.

"But I feel a little unsafe. I got the information that the kid is purely from a Muggle family. But just now, whether it is the several powerful spells released by the wand or the magic weapon in his hand, there is a strong sense of weirdness. Those things are not what a wizard of mumps should have. What if he is a spy of the Chimera Society?" The middle-aged wizard said with some doubts.

"Oh, Hans, you have been the captain of the Auror squad for too long, and sometimes you are too suspicious. You must know that those who can enter the Emerald Dream will never be with those guys from the Chimera Society who use evil methods to transform natural life Mixed together. At least based on my years of experience in seeing people, that little guy will not be a bad guy." Principal Fernando refuted the middle-aged man's point of view just now.

"I think so too, Hans." At this time, the shopkeeper Frank also interjected, "He didn't run away when he mistakenly thought I was going to kill him just now, but followed me. On the one hand, it shows that he has a certain degree of strength (Ryan: No, it’s just that the grocery store has recently launched an escape system, so he is sure to run away.), on the other hand, it is also because he has companions here, and he wants to protect his companions. So from this perspective, he A good man. We don't need to be so suspicious of him."

"Well, what you said may be right. I should be suspicious." The middle-aged man who should be an Auror said. "I really hope that those guys from the Chimera Society can be wiped out this time. After all, the thing brought by the defecting saints has been in their hands for too long, even if Grindelwald set enough seals on it back then. I am also worried that they will find a way to break the seal after such a long time. If it looks like this, the little guy just now is stronger, which is also a good thing. I hope he can hold the other party for a while, so that we can catch The tail of the Chimera Society."

"Yes, I think so too." Principal Fernando said. "That thing is still too dangerous, and it can't be in the hands of a group of lunatics and terrorists anyway. If most of our Chimera Society didn't know each other, I wouldn't make such a move to find a little British guy who I don't know at all. To be an internal response. To be honest, this is quite contrary to my philosophy as a principal, after all, we still involve a person who was originally irrelevant."

"Yeah, I hope everything goes well this time. But you don't have to feel guilty about taking advantage of that little guy, and I will definitely pay him enough in the end. Besides, we are doing a good thing instead of an evil thing. At this time, good-natured lies are also acceptable." Frank shopkeeper finally concluded.

Of course, Ryan is completely unaware of the conversations of these people in the store, otherwise he would never accept this task based on his habit of heart. After all, this task may involve the important legacy of the saints and Grindelwald back then.It doesn't look like an easy thing to do.

Ryan, who didn't know that a trouble was about to come, was back on the street with Hermione now, after purchasing a whole large package of potion ingredients and mailing it to the Weasley twins through the owl post office.Ryan and the three of them found a local restaurant for lunch.

That's right, three people.Because Ryan and the others met Zhang Qiu who was writing a letter to Cedric in the owl post office. After all, Halloween is coming, and everyone is preparing for the holiday.After chatting in the lobby for a while, they decided to have lunch together.

Because it is a local restaurant, everyone naturally eats food with aboriginal style.Ryan ordered a grilled arowana for his lunch.

"Why do you eat this kind of freshwater fish full of thorns?" Hermione asked curiously while eating her barbecue meal.

"You must know that this kind of fish is used as an ornamental fish in the East, and a good-looking one may cost tens of thousands of pounds. I choose this fish to feel the feeling of enjoying luxury." Ryan disassembled a piece of fish with a knife and fork. Said.

During this lunch, they also gradually became acquainted with Zhang Qiu, as a top student in Ravenclaw.Obviously, she and Hermione have a lot in common, and Ryan also learned a lot of things that he didn't know before.

For example, Zhang Qiu's appearance is the best among the girls Ryan knows, not the ordinary one in the movie version, which is more in line with Aunt Rowling's original description.Another point is that Zhang Qiu herself is a half-blood wizard, her mother works in the Ministry of Magic, and her father is a Muggle, who runs a restaurant in London's Chinatown.After she showed magical abilities as a child, she slowly began to be exposed to the magical world.

Like at the dinner table when he told Ryan and Hermione that she'd supported the Tuthill Tornados since she was six and had decided to become a player because of that.

Ryan was a little surprised that Zhang Qiu was a mixed-blood wizard. After all, she had been exposed to the magical world since she was a child, so Ryan always thought she was a pure-blood.But think about it, after all, there are only so few people in the British wizarding world, and the possibility of a male and a female Chinese of the right age is too small, so as a witch, it is normal for Zhang Qiu's mother to find a Muggle of the same ethnicity of.

But what makes Ryan a little frustrated is that maybe because his parents belonged to the group of people who immigrated very early, so although Zhang Qiu can speak Chinese, he can only speak Cantonese in Chinese, and cannot speak Mandarin.This allowed Ryan and Zhang Qiu to only use English when communicating.

Hermione was a little surprised that they couldn't communicate even though their mother tongue was the same, but considering that the number of people in the Celestial Dynasty exceeds the entire population of Europe, this situation is not incomprehensible.

The most surprising thing is that Zhang Qiu actually knew Ryan's grandfather.No wonder, since Ryan's grandfather started out running a restaurant in London's Chinatown.Chinatown is only that big, and it's not surprising that people who run restaurants on the same street know each other.

It's just that Ryan found an interesting thing in Zhang Qiu's narration, that is, when Zhang Qiu was five or six years old, Ryan's grandfather saw her suspend a cup with magic power when he visited her home at the dinner table.It's just that Ryan's grandfather was still drinking tea with Zhang Qiu's grandfather calmly at that time.So until today, Zhang Qiu can't be sure whether Ryan's grandfather saw the cup hanging in the air at that time.

It seems that there may be some stories about this grandfather who returned to China for the elderly.Ryan thought so.

After lunch, Zhang Qiu bid farewell to them and prepared to go shopping elsewhere, while Ryan and Hermione planned to visit the bookstores that were crowded just now when no one came out in the hot weather at noon.

　The group is a bit deserted, everyone can come and discuss.
