Nico Flamel glanced at Dumbledore with an expression of admiration.

"I told you, Nico." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "You can't treat Ryan like an ordinary little wizard."

"You have a point." Nico Flamel said, "I'm a little jealous of you now, Albus. You can find clues from the order of involvement in conflicts. If you ask me, this keen insight is really good." It is very suitable for learning alchemy, especially the production of alchemical items."

Ryan smiled shyly and did not answer.

Leo "Ryan" calls for help first, and the Priory's rescue arrives later.

When the Priory arrived, the Life Alchemy Society was already there.

Therefore, rather than saying "The Alchemy Society of Life was involved in the conflict in Hogsmeade", it is more appropriate to say "The Priory was involved in the conflict between the Alchemy Society of Life and an unknown force."

Of course, the most critical doubt here is why the original owner of the Leo Token was targeted.

And, who is this person who is eyeing him.

Now the answer is almost clear. The murderer targeting "Ryan" is the mysterious "Y" who killed Tyler Nelson.

Because the organization that was in conflict with the Priory was not the Death Eaters that Ryan imagined, but the Life Alchemy Society that had made a mistake.

After eliminating the two options, the remaining one is the most likely.

"Y" is both the murderer of Tyler Nelson and the person who conflicts with Leo. It is more likely that he is the real target of the Life Alchemy Society.

If the relationship between Professor Quirrell and the Lion Token of the Priory was connected, Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

"What a nasty, troublesome murderer." Ryan pursed his lips and whispered, "What on earth is he going to do?"

"I think this is not something you, a little wizard, should care about." Nico Flamel shook his head, "I don't know how much Albus expects from you, but I still want to warn you about this matter. It’s beyond what you can handle.”

Ryan smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Do you think I am willing to get involved in these things? Mr. Flamel, I was also brought in by the whirlpool of the incident unknowingly. If I can escape, I really want it."

"Isn't it easy to escape?" Nico Flamel frowned, "From now on, no matter what, just study with peace of mind and be a good little wizard."

Ryan shrugged: "Yes, just leave it alone. Then, you can ask Professor Dumbledore if he is willing to deal with Professor Quirrell now?"

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "So I have influenced someone's fate in a self-righteous way."

"Professor, people are alive, and everyone has their own thoughts." Ryan lowered his eyes, "Not all chess pieces are willing to stay on the chessboard."

"I'm so sorry that I brought you such a feeling." Dumbledore smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Ryan, I never thought of using you as a pawn. Maybe the expectations I gave you were too heavy. ”

"What about Professor Quirrell?" Ryan raised his head and looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes.

Dumbledore turned his face slightly and looked at a point of nothingness in the space: "Ryan, you have things that you should bear."

Ryan lowered his gaze and said nothing. After a long time, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Look, Professor, nothing has changed. You still have your plans, and I still have my uneasiness."

"I can guarantee that Professor Quirrell will not pose any threat to you." Dumbledore said.

Ryan laughed and spread his hands: "Should I trust your guarantee, professor? Even if you once arranged for Professor Quirrell to come to my home for admission guidance, even if Professor Quirrell showed malice towards me in the first week , Even if Hermione almost died at the hands of a troll on Halloween, even if I have discovered his biggest secret, should I still believe you?"

"What secret?" Dumbledore breathed slightly faster.

"You see, this is the biggest difference between you and me." Ryan's words made Dumbledore froze slightly. "Among so many issues, the secret I discovered is the one you are most concerned about, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, Ryan." Dumbledore's lips trembled slightly, "I'm sorry."

Ryan shook his head: "You did nothing wrong, Professor. There is no need for you to apologize to me. Have you forgotten what you said to me? Choice is very important. Everyone should and will eventually You will pay for your own choices.”

Nico Flamel looked at Dumbledore who was being lectured by Ryan with interest. He broke the increasingly heavy atmosphere: "So, I am still quite curious about what the secret is."

"I don't know what the secret 'itself' is." Ryan told a little lie, "However, I discovered that Professor Quirrell has a big secret, and Professor Quirrell must also know that someone has discovered his secret."

"Why do you say that?" Nico Flamel asked curiously.

Ryan took the silk bag out of his pocket and took out a leaf.

"The leaves of the snake tree are a good thing." Nico Flamel's eyes lit up. "This is a specialty of Iffamoni, right? Look at the vitality in it, or the few leaves on the top of the tree of life. They are quite rare. Where did you get it from?”

"I stole this from Professor Quirrell's office," Ryan said.

Nico Flamel and Dumbledore looked at each other, obviously surprised by the answer.

Ryan didn't wait for them to ask, and continued: "Professor Quirrell snatched it from the members of the Priory."

"So, on Halloween, you still have reservations about me." Dumbledore smiled helplessly, "To make you think that Professor Quirrell is abnormal, you have to add a monastery, right? Or, Ryan, did you already think of everything you said today at that time?"

"Professor, I must clarify something." Ryan laughed, "Even you are not omniscient and omnipotent, let alone me."

Dumbledore was noncommittal and said: "Even so, I think you don't have to worry about the threat from Professor Quirrell, because he doesn't know who stole the leaves from the Tree of Life."

"I'm not worried about being discovered for the time being, Professor." Ryan shook his head. "What I'm worried about is why Professor Quirrell used the leaves of the Tree of Life to brew potion."

A bright light flashed in Dumbledore's eyes: "Is he brewing a life potion?"

"This is just my guess." Ryan said, "Professor Quirrell's drawer has traces of a spell on it, and I dare not open it. The Priory also said that one leaf was missing, and Ms. Ravenclaw said that there was a leaf on the Tree of Life. It’s powerful, and there’s the smell of garlic on Quirrell’s body. The answer is obvious, isn’t it? However, with the crystal ball here, don’t you know what Professor Quirrell is doing?”

"I can't keep an eye on him all the time." Dumbledore said, "Besides, I didn't expect that he actually obtained the leaves of the Tree of Life. I only knew that he was brewing Polyjuice Potion."

Ryan nodded, so that the garlic smell on Quirrell's body before he obtained the leaves of the tree of life could be explained.

"What does Professor Quirrell do when he brews Polyjuice Potion?" Ryan asked.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief: "That was in July. I thought he was doing it to complete his plan, but now it seems that it's more than that, isn't it? He also wanted to provide a large amount of Polyjuice to his accomplices. agent.”

"Who is that person?"

Dumbledore said nothing, but Nico Flamel replied: "An evil Death Eater, his name is Swinburne Burst."
