In the vast primitive jungle in northern Norway, everything was covered with thick snow, and there was silence everywhere. But soon a burst of laughter broke the silence.
"Ha, what do you think? Isn't it much better than when we were driving just now?" A girl's voice said. At this time, two figures appeared on the path in the forest. They were sliding quickly on the sled.
"Okay Hermione, I admit that there was a problem with my preparation today, but who would have thought that no one here can plow snow." Ryan waved his ski pole helplessly. Originally, after they came out of the nearest fireplace,
Just as he was about to drive to the plantation, Ryan also drove out the car he bought during his last trip to Russia. However, after leaving the town, he discovered that there was thick snow on the road. After driving a few kilometers out of the city, he discovered that the road was covered with snow.
The snow was accumulated from the previous few times and was not swept away at all.
The result is that since the first snowfall in winter, all the snow has accumulated on the road, which is waist-deep. At the same time, the snow at the bottom has turned into ice cubes due to repeated melting and solidification. This way
Once you get there, the road is no longer suitable for driving.
"There will be no people plowing snow on this uninhabited road." Hermione said, "Those snow plows will only take care of the places connecting large gathering points. However, don't you think two people are skiing together like this?
Does it feel great?"
"Of course it feels great to ski, right." After saying that the road was blocked, Ryan suddenly thought of something. "What do you think the people in the plantation should do at this time? Where do their supplies come from? I remember
At that time, the fireplace in the plantation was not connected to the floo network for safety reasons!"
"Don't forget that although they are werewolves, many of them are professionally trained wizards." Hermione said helplessly. "Anyway, there is enough food and vegetables growing in the plantation. They only need to
Just select a few people and apparate to the nearest city to purchase some daily necessities."
After spending 20 minutes, they arrived at the door of a large plantation. After knocking on the door, a former Auror werewolf came out and opened the door for them and said hello. "Ah, nice to meet you.
.”
"We're glad to see you too. By the way, where are the others?" Ryan asked after walking in the door.
"Except for those who need to work outside, they are all staying in the underground breeding ground. They are in class." The werewolf, who is a guard, said, "I will also have to give lectures to others after the shift changes in a while."
After saying goodbye to the doorman, Ryan and the others walked in, and a large greenhouse appeared in front of them. Most of the area inside was mainly planted with ordinary flowers, while a small part was planted with some vegetables and fruits for these residents.
Used by people on plantations.
"I thought there were magical plants growing in the greenhouse next to it, but now it looks like an ordinary greenhouse farm." Hermione said to Ryan after seeing the scene in the greenhouse through the glass on some greenhouses.
"Of course not." Ryan smiled and shook his head. "This plantation itself is a legal plantation in the world of ordinary people, and it is also a perfect disguise. And the real plantation is right under our feet."
"Underfoot?" Hermione asked in confusion.
"Yes." Ryan nodded. "It's the underground breeding ground that the guard just mentioned. Only below the ground can we create a space with stable magic elements at the minimum cost. At the same time, with the protection of the earth, the magic here can be
Suppress the reaction to a minimum so that it will be difficult for others to discover our location."
"What a smart move." Hermione said with admiration in her tone. "In these war times, you can never be too cautious." At this time, they had already walked to the farm building, but they did not walk directly into it.
Instead of the main building, he turned a corner and walked into the garage next to it.
After entering the garage, they shook off the snowflakes on their bodies. Hermione looked around the garage and asked: "Where did you hide the way down? I didn't feel any corresponding magical reaction in this house."
"You have forgotten that there are other ways to achieve various goals in this world besides magic." Now it was Ryan's turn to explain to Hermione what she had not thought of. "Think about the large laboratory and those buildings under our manor.
The structural parts are modular, and even wizards with a low level of understanding of science and technology can put them together like building blocks in a short time."
Having said this, Ryan gently pushed a tool box placed on the shelf. A small machine tool next to it slid aside to reveal a downward staircase. "This is a purely mechanical mechanism, at least the death-eating group
The disciples are all guys who use their hands as little as possible when they can use the wand. They despise everything that is not magical in their eyes, and naturally they don't have much control over this purely mechanical mechanism. This kind of design of mine can be considered
Let’s take advantage of a blind spot in their mental thinking.”
After walking down the stairs about two floors deep and passing through a door, they took the elevator to the underground breeding ground. Unlike the metal-toned fortress under their own manor, this place felt like entering a forest after opening the door.
in.
"This is very similar to the large botanical garden in the Brazilian school we went to in second grade." Hermione looked around and said after stepping out of the elevator, "It just doesn't seem like there are that many plant species."
"You're right." Ryan nodded proudly. "I got the inspiration from there when I was designing, and then through a series of calculations, a small magic ecosystem was formed here. After those werewolves created
Understand, the quality of the magic herbs produced in the core area here is no less than that of ordinary wild medicines, and it is also our flagship product exported to China. My uncle also wrote to me two days ago to tell me to increase production with confidence and boldness. We produce
They can eat as much as they want."
"Why don't those pure-blood families do this when they make so much money?" Hermione found that there was a question in Ryan's words that she couldn't figure out. "I don't believe they can't see the profits here."
"The problem is cost." Ryan spread his hands. "The core of this planting model is a micro-ecosystem, but in fact, due to scale issues, this can only be regarded as a pseudo-ecosystem that cannot complete the internal cycle purely on its own strength. In order to
To maintain the operation of the magic ecosystem, the grower needs to be at least a formal wizard, and it is best for these wizards to feel the power of nature. In this way, they can use magic at any time to adjust the balance within the ecosystem. Obviously
, those pure-blood families who rely on house elves to perform planting tasks will never be able to do this. Even after hiring wizards, their wizards are no match for the new werewolves in terms of feeling nature. This is our unique business.
The secret is also the foundation for the future of werewolves."
"Ryan is right." A familiar voice came from the bushes, and then the branches in front moved, and Lupine came out of the bushes. "So everyone regards this place as their home, because only here every day
Only individuals can reflect their own value.”
"It seems that all the werewolves like it here." Ryan greeted with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Professor Lupin, Merry Christmas."
"Nice to meet you too, you are here this time -" Professor Lupine looked much younger wearing an emerald green wizard robe, and his temperament was much better than Lockhart who wore similar clothes back then.
"We are here to spend Christmas with everyone this time." Hermione said, "I just don't know if everyone here will welcome us?"
"How could you not welcome me?" Lu Ping showed a bright smile. "Everyone is looking forward to your coming. I just feel that this kind of festival belongs to the family, and I am worried that you are not willing to be with strangers."
