After getting what they wanted, Ryan and Hermione had lunch with Sirius at 12 Grimmauld Place. Of course, the three of them prepared the lunch together. It was not until this time that Ryan and the others knew about Melia
Not here now, but living with Kreacher and Hogsmeade and Tonks.
"Although there are a lot of protective magic here, it is very safe. But after all, this is an area controlled by dark wizards, and there are even dark wizards watching at the door. In this case, it is natural to not go out, but it is not good to stay in such a gloomy mansion all day.
It is good for the health of pregnant women and fetuses. So I sent them all to my cousin. Of course, I will visit her whenever I have time."
"You are right to do this." Hermione used her wand to direct the knife on the chopping board to cut the mutton into small pieces. Then she sprayed some seasoning from the wand and put it into the pot with the mutton. "From a medical point of view,
Pregnant women need to bask in the sun frequently and stay in a good mood. You simply can't meet these requirements here. But in Hogsmeade, all these can be easily accomplished."
"You're right." Sirius nodded with feeling. "Since Melia moved to Hogsmeade to live with Tonks and my cousin, I think she looks better.
It looked much better when I was here before.”
"By the way, Sirius." Ryan asked after cutting a bunch of onions and putting them in the pot and closing the lid. "Didn't you say that Mrs. Malfoy also lives in this house? Why haven't you seen her?"
"Ha, let alone you, even I only see him once or twice a week." Sirius winked and made a face. Of course, this may be because he was chopping onions just now. "
Anyway, we have been trying to avoid seeing each other since she moved in. Now I basically don’t go to the third floor unless I have nothing to do, and my cousin and the two Malfoys try not to come to the first floor. Anyway, Kreacher will deliver them to them every day.
Food and other facilities are also available upstairs.”
Therefore, after preparing lunch, Ryan and the three of them started eating directly. After finishing the meal and drinking black tea and chatting for a while, they said goodbye to Sirius, left Hogsmeade 12 and returned to their manor.
"Okay, now we have got what you need. What are we going to do next?" Hermione asked directly after returning to her manor, "Is it to ambush lone Death Eaters at the gates of the manor?"
"It's not about ambushing a lone Death Eater." Ryan shook his head. "It's about doing a big thing. This thing is to destroy the foundation of the existence of those pure-blood families from the root. Because now, even with the help of the Celestial Warlocks,
, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of resources. I think if we cannot destroy the resource sources of those pure-blood families, it will only be a matter of time before we fail in the current situation of bleeding each other."
"Do we have to do this?" Hermione looked at Ryan and asked, her voice trembling. "Do we really need to do this? To destroy those cornerstones of the British wizarding community."
"I don't want this either." Ryan looked at Hermione's face and said in an unprecedented serious tone. "To be honest, this is also a helpless method. Because it is easy to destroy but difficult to build. Once these things are destroyed,
It’s not something you can do in a short time if you want to re-establish it.”
"Then why did you -" Hermione was interrupted by Ryan before she could finish her question. "But now these things have become weapons used by the enemy to attack us. They are mortgaged into money and supplies, and then used to hire
A large number of dark wizards launch attacks on us again and again. The mysterious people are hiding behind and waiting for our strength to be slowly weakened before they rush out and completely destroy everything we hold dear."
"In addition, these places are constantly producing various materials to supply the Death Eaters, giving them greater strength to fight us, putting a large number of innocent people in danger. So now we are unable to find and eliminate them
When there is a mysterious man, this is the only way to contain the enemy's power." After finishing speaking, Ryan shook his head helplessly.
"I know you are right, I just can't accept it for the moment." Hermione said and held Ryan's hand, "But if you have to do this, then let me be with you. If we still have it after the war is over,
Living, I hope to rebuild these things with you. Rebuild them house by house."
Soon, after an afternoon of discussions, the first target was identified, which was a large magic plantation belonging to the Malfoy family. Before the war broke out, that plantation accounted for 30% of the entire British potion supply.
.
"Although we don't know who controls the plantation now, we can confirm that it is indeed under the control of the mysterious person. And according to the records, the Malfoy family plantation, the Crabbe family and the Goyle family plantations are all concentrated together.
Together, if we're lucky, we can destroy them all at once." Hermione concluded after deciding on the attack target.
The Malfoy family's plantation is located in Wiltshire. It is a large plantation that concentrates plains, woodlands, mountains, caves, swamps and water surfaces. Together with the plantations of the Crabbe family and the Gower family, the overall area
Nearly 100 acres. After taking a spaceship to see this scene over the plantation, Lane and the others had to urgently modify their plan.
"How can this plantation be so large?" In the living area of the spaceship, Hermione looked at the 3D map of the Malfoy plantation returned by the bunch of reconnaissance balls that had just been dropped. "I always thought that so-called
The Potions Plantation is just like the Hogwarts Greenhouse, it just has more rooms."
"Cultivation of magic plants is a very complicated matter. At least half of the magic plants are difficult to cultivate indoors or in a greenhouse, and must be cultivated using wild or semi-wild methods. This is why the Malfoy family was able to produce raw materials for potions in the past.
The reason why it has a place in supply is that ordinary people don’t have such a huge breeding ground.”
Ryan said as he waved his hand to the 3D map on the table. The map immediately changed from a sandbox-like color to a transparent light blue. On the light blue map, Ryan marked a dozen colored lights.
points and seven or eight buildings.
"Look, they used different terrains and various magic circles to create different climates and magic environments, and built semi-independent open-air plantations. In this way, they can plant large quantities in Eurasia and even the Americas.
There are all kinds of common magic plants." Ryan explained to others while pointing at the light spots. "These light spots of different colors represent the different uses of magic circles in the area, such as regulating temperature, humidity, and magic power.
Concentration, speed of magic flow, and proportions of different magic powers in the area."
"Then what are these marked buildings?" The rose crystal floating in the air pointed at the specially circled buildings on the map and asked curiously. "I can only recognize that some of them are greenhouses."
"You're right." Ryan nodded to the rose crystal. "Some of these buildings are indeed greenhouses. Because some magical plants are aggressive or have extremely demanding survival requirements, it is obviously inappropriate to plant them outdoors.
, at this time a fully enclosed greenhouse is needed to ensure the survival of the plants."
"Some of the remaining buildings are rooms dedicated to placing magic circles, some are dormitories for house elves, some are laboratories or workshops used to process these magic materials, and some are places where guards live." Ryan said using his wand.
He pointed on the map one by one, but soon his wand stopped at a small room. Under the magic detection, there was a huge space under this small room.
"But I don't know what this place is." Ryan frowned slightly. "When I went to France last time, I specifically talked to Lucius Malfoy about his plantation. According to what he said, this house
It was originally supposed to be a warehouse for storing potions, with a small underground vault underneath, but it was definitely not as large as the current one that is close to a football field."
"Then let's focus on checking here for a while." Hermione turned to Ryan and said, "Now we need to formulate an action plan for a while. The area here is too large, and we need to formulate an efficient plan."
