Quirrell was obviously a very cautious man.

Ryan's brows furrowed more and more. He heard cheers coming from the Quidditch field and knew that he didn't have much time.

Is the curse on the drawer done subconsciously by Quirrell, or is there really a secret hidden in the drawer?

No, if it were Quirrell, he wouldn't just leave important things in the office without even locking the door.

Ryan just stretched out his hand and shook his head.

No, it's possible that you can't take this thing with you, and as long as the drawer is well protected, it doesn't matter whether the door is locked or not. Locking it would make you feel guilty.

If Quirrell were to hide something in a drawer, who would he need to guard against the most?

Ryan's face turned ugly. The answer was obvious, it was Dumbledore.

The curse set up to prevent Dumbledore must be far beyond his ability to handle.

Although there is still a slight possibility that the curse on the drawer is a bluff, after all, Quirrell is also asking Dumbledore for help in his own way.

If Quirrell wanted to be discovered by Dumbledore, he might not have put an unbreakable spell on the drawer.

However, Voldemort, who possessed Quirrell, must also know Quirrell's little thoughts.

Ryan withdrew his hand, he didn't dare to gamble on his luck.

In any case, this curse cannot be solved by oneself.

He left the table and walked to the closet.

In addition to clothes, there was also a bag of garlic in the cabinet. Ryan now knew where Quirrell's smell came from.

Ryan's eyes swept through the pockets of several clothes and stopped at a somewhat full lined pocket.

Two thin ropes emerged from the opening of the pocket.

Ryan didn't pick it up with his hands, but used a levitating spell to make the thing fly out of his pocket out of thin air.

It was a small bag woven with silk thread, and a lion was embroidered with gold thread on the bag.

Ryan's expression changed. He did not dare to stay any longer. He maintained the floating spell and left Quirrell's office with the small bag.

He ran all the way to the eighth floor and entered the Room of Requirement.

Ryan sensed it carefully and didn't feel any breath of magic on the bag.

He was still worried, so he tested it several times using the "Revelation of Original Shape" function to confirm that there were no hidden curses or jinxes on the bag.

Then, with a little peace of mind, he used a long stick to open the rope at the mouth of the bag and poured out the contents.

Those are two green leaves.

Even though they have been separated from the stems of the trees, these two leaves are still green and exude a huge breath of life from the inside out.

"Where did you get it?" Ravenclaw's figure emerged, she looked at the leaves and asked.

"What kind of leaf is this?" Ryan asked.

"This is the leaf of the Tree of Life." Ravenclaw said. "It has a strong healing effect. It can be used to make high-quality healing potions and life-extending potions. It is also very effective in dispelling some evil curses."

"Sounds like a good thing." Ryan picked up two leaves, "Tree of Life? Is there such a magical plant?"

"The tree of life is just a customary name." Ravenclaw said, "Its scientific name is snakewood. The most famous one is the wand used by Salazar. That wand is alive... I learned from these two pieces I feel the same scent on the leaves.”

"Slytherin's wand?" Ryan looked longingly, "I heard that it was later taken to Ivermoni, the United States..."

Ryan's face suddenly sank.

He remembered that Slytherin's wand was buried underground by the founder of Ilvermorny, and a snake tree grew out of it that could not be destroyed.

Ryan once again stared closely at the lion embroidery on the small bag.

At this moment, he was extremely convinced that this was "Ryan"'s bag.

Several fragments of memory were pieced together again.

"Ryan" is a graduate of Ilfamoni in the United States. He returned to the UK to return the Lion Token and was involved in the conflict in Hogsmeade. His whereabouts are still unknown.

"Cessitance", also known as Gwendelin, took leave from France and returned to England for a commission.

She was researching a potion that required materials with strong vitality, but there were some problems with the materials, so she started experimenting with dragon blood and unicorn blood.

Ryan sighed, it all connected now.

"Did you think of something?" Ravenclaw asked aloud when he saw Ryan's face fell.

"Yes, Ms. Ravenclaw." Ryan went to the corner and picked up the lion token. "I found that some things are more complicated than I knew."

He plugged in the armillary sphere.

"Hello." Wei Ge's voice sounded first.

"I already know the answer you need." Ryan lowered his voice.

"So, who brought the Lion Token into Hogwarts?" Wei Ge's voice was a little urgent.

"It's our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Quirrell." Ryan replied.

There was silence for a while before Wei Ge continued to speak: "The answer is not unexpected."

What he meant was that he was not satisfied with the answer.

Ryan squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. He had expected this, so he never contacted the members of the Priory.

After all, this is just a casual statement, and Ryan can even testify against a professor or a young wizard at will.

"What if," Ryan chuckled, "I discovered something interesting?"

"What is it?" Wei Ge's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"You didn't tell the whole truth before, right? 'Lian' came back to return the token? I don't think so." Seeing that the other party's mind was aroused, Ryan said leisurely, "Leaves of snake wood."

There was a sudden commotion in the token, and it quickly subsided.

"Your efficiency is amazing, friend." Wei Ge's voice became eager, "That's exactly what we need to find."

"It's not suitable for me to return it to you just yet." Ryan said, "Besides, what price are you going to pay for it?"

Wei Ge's voice choked up, and his tone finally became a little colder: "What price do you want?"

"Actually, I feel like I don't lack anything now." Ryan smiled.

Wei Ge suddenly had a headache. He didn't lack anything, so it was up to you.

He smiled bitterly and said: "We can't provide you with unlimited resources, so we might as well go to Iflamoni School in exchange for leaves."

"These leaves are not easy to change, are they?" Ryan chuckled, "Otherwise, why would you let your members search around?"

"Okay, tell me your conditions." Wei Ge gritted his teeth.

"First, I need one of those leaves."

"This...but, 'Lian' only brought back three tablets..." Wei Ge hesitated, "The success rate of the magic potion..."

Gwendelin immediately said: "Do you not trust my ability?"

Ryan interjected: "Ah, here is some sad news, because... I only got two slices."

"You!" Wei Ge's voice was a little angry, but he quickly calmed down.

Ryan smiled, knowing that he didn't need to explain, because if he wanted to keep it to himself, he could just not tell the Priory.

Wei Ge also reacted. He tried to maintain a calm tone: "If this is the case, it will be even less possible for us to spare a leaf for you."

"I know your difficulties." Ryan's words surprised Wei Ge. "In fact, it's useless for me to take the leaves. But, after all, I found them. The price of harvesting a leaf is not too much, right?"

"what do you want?"

"If I need it in the future, you must provide me with help once." Ryan said, "help that is no less than the value of this leaf."

"We can consider this." Wei Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me about your other requirements."

"Second..." Ryan raised the corner of his mouth, "I think it is necessary to tell Dumbledore about you."
