When he invested in Hogwarts last time, Ryan knew that even in the wizarding world, precious metals such as gold, silver, and various gemstones were hard currencies with high liquidity.
This is because gold, silver or gems play a big role in the production of magic props and potions, and are even indispensable in many cases. Therefore, these symbols of wealth in the Muggle world can also play the same role in the wizarding world.
Effect.
After discussing the specific situation and signing a series of documents, Ryan officially became the largest individual independent shareholder of the Hogsmeade branch of the yet-to-be-established Tianchao Alchemist Bank.
"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation." After all the documents were signed, Xiong Duosu stretched out his big paw and shook hands with Ryan. "Then let's leave now. After all, the bank will open this week.
There are still many things for us to deal with.”
"Then I wish you all the best." Ryan waved his hand and sent away the two pandas. As expected, it was exactly what the Chinese alchemists said. This group of pandas has always been based on making money as their fundamental goal in non-war situations, and they are not even willing to
Waste a minute on all kinds of other things. That's why the two pandas just left so hurriedly after getting the investment.
"I finally discovered something they have in common with the goblins." Looking at the burly backs of the two pandaren who were struggling to squeeze down the narrow stairs, Hermione whispered to Ryan. "For them,
Time is money.”
"That's why they make so much money." Ryan said with a smile. "Whether they are goblins or pandas, these creatures regard making money as their most important goal in life. Only in this way can they make as much money as possible.
.”
After handling all the matters in Hogsmeade, Ryan and Hermione returned to their manor with the results of their purchases. After getting the first batch of materials, the two wand-making masters started work smoothly. Because now they are in the manor
There was nothing to do, so the efficiency of the two wand-making masters was much higher than before. According to their speed, they should be able to make up for the missing wands before Christmas.
After dealing with the matter of the two wand masters, Ryan started his next plan. He did not plan to spend much energy on Voldemort, because Professor Dumbledore would keep an eye on him. Voldemort. For him, the most important thing now is
The important thing is to reduce the number of innocent people who were killed inexplicably because of the evil done by those Death Eaters during the war.
Unfortunately, only Ryan and Hermione are currently fighting for this goal. For the Order of the Phoenix or the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic, they have to focus most of their energy on protecting wizards.
Can't muster enough strength to protect Muggles.
Lupine wrote a letter saying that there were werewolves who were willing to help, but considering that both the work of guarding Hogsmeade and the work of cultivating magical plants in the Norwegian plantation were very important. In addition, the only remaining werewolves that could be drawn out were some old ones.
Weak, sick, and disabled people face many risks when facing Death Eaters. So Ryan and the others sent a special letter to politely decline the werewolves' kindness.
For Voldemort, random attacks by that group of scum can create an atmosphere of terror and disrupt social order on the one hand. On the other hand, they can attract the attention of the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, thereby protecting him and the core food groups.
The conspiracy of the Death Apostles. So he encouraged the new Death Eaters from foreign countries to unleash the evil in their hearts.
But for Ryan and the others, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy when they encounter ordinary Death Eaters, especially such a mob. But the difficulty is that it is difficult to stop those Death Eaters in time, especially when Voldemort uses money.
The recruited scumbags randomly took to the streets and attacked.
However, after thinking carefully, Ryan found that a piece of knowledge he had previously obtained from the world of "Song of Ice and Fire" could solve that problem. This knowledge was given to Ryan after the Green Star Stone and the Emerald Star Stone obtained the old god's throne.
Just make weirwood for surveillance.
Of course, since weirwood does not exist in the world of Harry Potter, Ryan spent some time improving this magic using technology from multiple worlds. After the improvement, as long as any plant that has grown for more than 30 years is used with a special
After carving a human face pattern no smaller than the size of your thumb, the plant can function as a weirwood. Of course, the older the plant is, the more extraordinary power it will have.
Thanks to the British's awareness of environmental protection that has begun to awaken in the past century, Ryan's job of finding plants that are more than 30 years old has become much easier. The thumb-sized face pattern is also very concealed and will not arouse others' suspicion.
So in just one month, Ryan, with the help of Rose Crystal and his puppet sisters, established a surveillance network that basically covered the British Isles and the Nordic planting base.
In addition, Ryan also used the ability of the skinchanger to control a group of crows and let them patrol several big cities to detect and fill gaps. Because crows are common birds in British cities, these crows are
Scouting the crows didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.
After everything was arranged, winter arrived. At 12 noon that day, Ryan was sensing the newly built intelligence network. There was a knock on the door. After Ryan came to the door and opened it, he discovered that before
Hermione, who had gone to Hogsmeade to deliver the batch of newly made wands and magic props, appeared at the door.
She put on the red wool cloak with white edges and put on the hood at this time. Ryan found some melting snowflakes on her head and shoulders.
"Is it snowing in Hogsmeade?" Ryan said to Hermione as he turned sideways to let her in. "It seems that the weather forecast is quite accurate. It is reasonable for me to ask you to add some clothes before you leave."
.”
"You're right," Hermione said at the same time as she stretched out her wand and turned a small feather duster placed beside her into a little bird to brush off the snow on her body. "I should have thought of that, every November in Scotland
It will snow. Unfortunately, this year we live in the south, where the temperature is not that cold. As a result, I forgot about it."
"So how is the situation in Hogsmeade now?" Ryan asked. In addition to making magic props, he has been busy making artificial weirwoods recently, so he has not paid attention to the recent situation for a while.
"It should be said that the situation is slowly getting better." Hermione handed her coat to a handy man who came over, and then walked to the living room wearing a homely white cardigan and fluffy slippers. "At least in my opinion
, the previous chaos has disappeared, and everything has returned to order. For example, now people in Hogsmeade have begun their normal lives again, and are no longer in the state of extreme fear before. "
"Sounds good. This war doesn't seem to be over in a short time. If everyone doesn't have a normal heart, I'm worried that people will collapse before the war is over." After sitting on the sofa, Ryan handed Hermione a hand.
Said after serving a cup of hot cocoa.
"You're right." Hermione nodded and said. "By the way, I went to Hogsmeade this time and found that the Celestial Warlock Bank has opened. This is why Hogsmeade seems to be very prosperous recently.
an important reason.”
"Really, how is the situation at the bank?" Ryan asked after sitting up straight. "I mean, are they popular? Are people rejecting them?"
"None of what you were worried about has happened." Hermione raised her eyebrows. "At least everyone now has a good reputation for them. On the one hand, unlike the goblins, they have hired a large number of local people to provide jobs for everyone. On the other hand, they have a good reputation.
On the one hand, I suspect that they may have mastered some kind of natural charm magic like Veela, and everyone's impression of them is much better than that of goblins."
"Well, maybe it's because the pandas are cuter." Ryan defended his fellow countrymen. "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the London Zoo to see the pandas."
