Ryan took out the lion token: "Professor, do you recognize this thing?"

Dumbledore took the token, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Nico Flamel.

"It's quite an exquisite design, but the workmanship is very rough." Nico Flamel commented, "It's an ancient alchemy item, interesting. I think if I were in the research room now, I could take it apart right away and take a look."

"Don't you recognize this kind of token?" Ryan looked at Nico Flamel with a strange look.

Nico Flamel also stared at Ryan strangely: "Should I know something about this thing?"

Ryan squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sorry, I was rude."

He cursed: You still have the nerve to say that Dumbledore was cut off in advance, aren't your disciples also being targeted by the Priory?

Ryan estimated that Gwendoline was only absorbed by the Priory within the past two years. After all, Nico Flamel had not seen Gwendelin for more than two years, so it was normal for him not to know about the token.

Moreover, Gwendelin's ranking is No. 40. If the Priory is really promoted according to the serial number of the constellation, then her position is indeed relatively low.

Nico Flamel said: "However, I have heard of this thing, which is why I want to stop you."

"Can I know why?" Ryan asked.

"Of course." Nico Flamel said, "If you really belong to this organization, then you should also know that in early September, a bad conflict occurred in Hogsmeade Village. It is said that there were several warring parties. Take this token."

"Is it really you who are in conflict with the Priory?" Ryan asked in surprise.

"It's not me, but you can understand it as us." Nico Flamel frowned, "The Priory?"

"This is the name of that organization." Ryan said, "In fact, I only recently obtained this token from the Room of Requirement. But why do you want to help Professor Quirrell? No, that's not right..."

"Quirinas?" Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, "Why do you ask that, Ryan?"

"Because it was Professor Quirrell who hid this token in the Room of Requirement." Ryan replied, "The whereabouts of the owner of this token are still unknown."

The expressions of Dumbledore and Nico Flamel suddenly changed. They looked at each other, barely concealing the horror in their eyes.

Ryan glanced at the two of them and smiled bitterly: "Can I understand that we have misunderstood each other?"

"I think so, Ryan." Dumbledore said in a serious tone, "I thought the organization you were talking about was together with Professor Quirrell, but now it seems there is something different."

"I once thought..." Ryan smiled bitterly, "Mr. Flamel, your organization and Professor Quirrell are in the same group."

"It's not our organization." Nico Flamel shook his head. "They are members of the 'Life Alchemy Society' and have some connections with my old friends. I was just invited to help them this time."

"Alchemy of Life?" Ryan wrote down the name. "Were they the ones who intercepted and killed me at the Screaming Shack before?"

"Yes, but you are slippery." Nico Flamel laughed, "If I hadn't happened to be in Hogsmeade Village and used prophecy to detect your location, you might have escaped."

"Do I dare not to escape?" Ryan said with a drooped face, "I always thought that there was a powerful organization secretly operating behind Professor Quirrell, and I suspected it was related to Hogsmeade Village. Now I am being arrested in Hogsmeade Village. When there is a traffic jam, the first thing that comes to mind is of course running away.”

"In fact, the Alchemy Society didn't want to cause trouble for you at the beginning." Nico Flamel laughed. "After all, there are many young wizards who sneak into Hogsmeade Village to play. However, you not only choose In order to take a secret passage, he also took out the token of the monastery, which is very suspicious."

"Are you monitoring Hogsmeade?" Ryan noticed the meaning of Nico Flamel's words.

"The crystal ball can be used for more than just divination." Nico Flamel said with a smile.

Ryan immediately thought of Ravenclaw's crystal ball, and he nodded to express his understanding.

Nico Flamel said to Dumbledore: "Your student is quite knowledgeable. I think he has a talent for alchemy. How about giving it to me?"

Dumbledore said warmly: "You have to get Ravenclaw's permission first."

Ryan was startled. He couldn't help but look at the principal. Was the Ravenclaw incident just revealed?

"Look at your virtue." Nico Flamel said, "I have lived for hundreds of years. In our time, there were still many people who were willing to leave their souls."

"Is it gone now?" Ryan was a little confused.

"Today's wizards are powerless." Nico Flamel sighed, "I don't know why, but it is becoming more and more difficult to complete the prerequisite rituals for soul inheritance. Many people have failed, and the price of failure is quite serious. "

Ryan nodded, and he returned his mind to the incident in Hogsmeade Village. This was the most important topic at the moment.

"I have another question, Professor, Mr. Flamel." Lane asked, "Do you know who the murderer of Tyler Nelson was?"

Dumbledore's eyes flashed, and he said: "I'm really surprised that you can pay attention to such a person, Ryan, why do you think there is a murderer instead of Professor Quirrell who killed Taylor?"

"Mr. Taylor was killed in June, and I happened to meet the murderer disguised as Mr. Taylor in August, and the conflict in Hogsmeade didn't happen until September when school started." Ryan said, "Of course, if it's strange, Professor Luo plays two roles by one person and can do it if he arranges his time well. But the time span is too big and the risks are too high. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"You're right," Dumbledore said. "There is indeed someone behind all this."

"You already know who it is, right?" Ryan asked carefully.

Dumbledore sighed: "Knowing his name and appearance is of no value, because he will never show his face to others again."

"Polyjuice Potion?" Ryan asked, "So, the Polyjuice Potion security check conducted by the Ministry of Magic on the Knight Bus was just for him?"

"It's not just that... Of course, we will never forgive any murderer who kills civilians." Dumbledore replied.

"What about Mr. Flamel?" Ryan frowned, "Why is the Life Alchemy Society here?"

Nico Flamel's eyes moved: "There was a conflict and the Life Alchemy Society was involved. Isn't this reason enough?"

Lane shook his head: "Mr. Flamel, the information I got from the Priory is that one of their members was intercepted and killed. This member asked for help from the Priory, but after their rescuers arrived, But he didn’t see this member and had a conflict with a group of unidentified people.”

Nico Flamel thought for a moment: "What they said is at least not inconsistent with what I know."

"So, these unidentified people are members of the Life Alchemy Society. I have no problem understanding it this way, right?" Ryan asked.

"That's right." Nico Flamel nodded.

"I have no way of guessing the murderer's purpose of coming to Hogsmeade Village." Ryan said softly, "The purpose of the Priory's coming to Hogsmeade Village, at least they claim to be to rescue members; then, can I ask for advice? Let me ask you, what is the purpose of the Life Alchemy Society?"
