Chapter 740 Fog of War

Because they haven't seen Voldemort's appearance for a long time, Ryan's spirits are tense to the extreme. Under such pressure, Dumbledore would even leave Hogwarts to sit on the front line in London frequently, in order to avoid too much loss when the front line was attacked by Voldemort and no one could stand against Voldemort. big.

Also because of Voldemort's threat, Ryan and Hermione were often away from the manor during this period. They chose to spend most of their time on the floating fortress, ready to reinforce various locations at any time.

In this state of mental tension, the time came to May. At noon on the first day of May, Hermione walked into the observation room of the Core Magic Tower with a plate of salmon sandwiches and a pot of black tea on a silver tray.

After the stone door slid open, Hermione saw Ryan standing on a three-story stone platform in the center of the observation room. On this platform, a crystal ball larger than a human head was quietly floating in front of him. Purple ripples spread out one after another.

The moment the ripples touched the wall, one translucent picture after another began to appear on the wall. Hermione recognized the pictures as being from downtown London, or from around Hogsmeade. There are also a lot of pictures that she doesn't know where.

Have you had lunch yet? Ryan waved his wand lightly after discovering that Hermione came in with a dinner plate, and the crystal ball immediately fell slowly and landed on a white stone platform engraved with runes. It's really troublesome for you to bring it here.

It's okay, Hermione smiled and tapped the wall with her wand, and soon three stone slabs with one tall and two short protruded directly from the wall. It happened to form a crude table top and two facing seats, and then she put down the plate in her hand and picked up a sandwich, and at the same time handed it to Ryan who had just walked out of the observation room door.

After taking a bite of the sandwich in her hand, Hermione raised her head and asked Ryan, who was sitting face to face with her and drinking black tea, How is the result of your investigation today? Compared with the previous few days, have you found any major changes?

It's true that there are many differences from the previous few days. Ryan nodded after putting down the cup of black tea. For example, the activity of all Death Eaters in downtown London has dropped to an extremely low level, and even Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley were abandoned yesterday. I saw that the personnel of the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic had reoccupied them this morning. these places.

What about Gringotts? Hermione asked a crucial question, Did the Ministry of Magic take over Gringotts this time? I hope they don't allow Gringotts to provide wealth to those Death Eaters like before.

They have completely blocked Gringotts now. Ryan said what he saw before, But maybe because of insufficient manpower, they did not enter Gringotts, but directly blocked Gringotts. But you don't have to worry Goblins, they have a series of complex underground tunnel systems underground in the bank, and there are even special places for growing mushrooms and certain plants, which can keep them alive for a long time.

For us, after this war is over, Gringotts, deprived of minting rights and monopoly power, is nothing more than an ordinary bank. This medieval-style bank will definitely not be the opponent of a modern bank.

As for the risk of goblin rebellion after taking away so many rights, this possibility no longer exists after they bow the knee to Voldemort. For all intelligent creatures in this world, kneel once, and they will spend the rest of the time I will continue to kneel down habitually.

That is to say, all the Death Eaters in London are hiding in the underground space of the Ministry of Magic and are preparing to fight us for the final battle. Hermione raised her head and stared at Lein and said.

Yes, the final battle will definitely be bloody. Ryan nodded. Because according to the investigation of those wizards in Diagon Alley yesterday, those Death Eaters used their shop to plunder a lot of supplies before retreating into the Ministry of Magic. It seems that they plan to fight a real defense in the Ministry of Magic. war,

Rather than crashing like it is now.

To be honest, a place like the Ministry of Magic is indeed suitable for a defensive battle. Hermione said after taking a bite of her sandwich, There are only a few entrances and exits and a complicated underground environment. And definitely choose that place to defend. At least it can avoid the embarrassment of everyone running away after another battle.”

You're right. Ryan frowned at this point. But I haven't locked the location of the mysterious man so far, even though I have almost filled the UK with heart trees, and at the same time control many animals to monitor this land 24 hours a day, which makes me very disturbed.

How could there be no trace at all? Hermione frowned. I can still understand if the mysterious man is alone, but he also has a large number of Death Eaters and a lot of supplies and wealth. It is impossible for so many people to disappear inexplicably.

From the information we got from Principal Dumbledore, we can confirm that neither the mysterious man nor his subordinates have left England. But we haven't found the exact location yet. Ryan shrugged. We agree that there are likely to be some secret bases in the UK that we don't know about and are highly concealed, and he and his lackeys are now preparing to launch a large-scale attack plan at the base.

It's very possible! Hermione said slowly, holding up her teacup, Just like our floating fortress, no one else knows about it except the two of us. It is normal for a dark wizard who has ravaged one side for decades to have a secret base that belongs only to him.

So that's why I haven't found him so far. Ryan, who had finished eating the sandwich, spread his hands and said. It's hard to pick out such a deliberately camouflaged site from the size of the British Isles.

But I'm also prepared for the worst. Ryan said and stomped his feet lightly, and the ground immediately became transparent. Through the ground, Hermione saw the puppets that had rolled themselves into ellipsoids waiting quietly in rows. Now we have hoarded 3,000 puppets, and I plan to prepare 10,000 to ensure that we have a mobile force that can stand up at any time.

I think 3000 puppets may not be enough. Hermione put forward her point of view. It's better to have more of these consumables. If there are only 3,000, I worry that it may not be enough.

Don't worry, I've thought of this too. Ryan waved his hand, and a projection of a warehouse immediately appeared in the air, inside which were densely packed with armed steam robots as tall as two people. In addition to steam machine guns, they were also equipped with Lots of sleeping magical plants. These purely mechanical creations will not be affected by magic, and after being strengthened by my alchemy, they also have a certain defense against magic attacks.

Although these machines are indeed not as useful as those puppets and are easily destroyed by magic, I prepared a full 6,000 of them in the folding space under the floating fortress. After the war broke out, they were mixed with those magic puppets. The situation can buy us enough time and cover.

That's good, as long as you have enough preparations. Hermione rubbed the position of her temples. Recently, Voldemort's inability to hide has brought great pressure to everyone, so after hearing that Ryan was fully prepared, she His expression looked relaxed.

Just as the two of them were about to take a rest after eating, a notification sound sounded in the corridor.

Someone is looking for us at the gate of the manor, who could it be? Looking at the reminder rune floating in the air, Hermione felt a little strange. Who would come here to drop by at a time like this?
