"In a sense, this little wizard is quite similar to you, Albus." Nico Flamel said.

"I'm not that greedy." Dumbledore responded with a smile, "But this is good. Having more backup means less possibility of failure."

Nico Flamel chuckled: "That's what I'm talking about, Albus. But in the end, it's just a self-defense item, so I don't care. It's just a meeting gift."

He reached into his pocket and fumbled for a while before taking out a necklace.

The pendant of the necklace is a walnut-sized looking glass, all golden in color. The outer ring of the looking glass is engraved with tadpole-sized runes in silver paint.

Nico Flamel hung the necklace around Ryan's neck and said: "Mr. Franklin, um... I'll call you Ryan. Ryan, there is no foolproof way to save your life, but you can try to avoid risks in advance."

He raised his wand and pointed it at Ryan, and the speculum immediately spun.

Nico Flamel said: "When someone may pose a threat to you, the looking glass will rotate. Based on the wearer, clockwise means malice is directed at you, and counterclockwise means malice is around you but not directed at you. You. Also, if the looking glass starts to heat up, it means there is a very powerful wizard around."

Ryan reached out and touched the frame of the speculum, and it was indeed extremely hot.

"Thank you, Mr. Flamel." Ryan bowed deeply.

He sincerely expressed his gratitude because this thing was really useful.

The looking glass has the highest sensitivity of all dark magic defense items, but at the same time, it also has low versatility due to frequent false alarms.Nico Flamel's looking glass is obviously not a popular product on the market, because it can even detect malicious targets by turning.

The value of this alchemical item to Ryan is no less than that of a legendary magic item.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Nico Flamel showed a proud look, "If it were just a looking glass, it would ruin my reputation too much. It also has a 'super armor protection' solidified on it. Of course, if the opponent's strength exceeds yours by too much, or if the opponent uses a life-killing curse, it will still be difficult to resist it."

Dumbledore laughed: "Then I can't be stingy. I'll just take some precautions regarding the death curse."

He tilted his head to look at the phoenix on his shoulder. Fawkes reluctantly screamed, then pecked out one of his tail feathers and handed it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore muttered a few spells composed of runes in a low voice, twisted his tail feathers into a small ring, and placed it in Ryan's hand: "You can wear it on your finger. When you feel that you are in danger that you cannot solve, When the time comes, light it, and the spell is rune 'fire'. Fox will know that you are in danger, and it can travel through space to help you. Of course, I will also know the news and come to the rescue."

Ryan didn't hide the joy on his face and solemnly took Fox's tail feathers.

He bowed to Dumbledore again and said loudly: "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore."

What is the feeling of happiness?That's how it is now, and I feel a sense of security rising from the bottom of my heart.

"However, don't get too carried away." Dumbledore warned, "These are just foreign objects. There are many ways to interfere with the Looking Glass, and Fox's space travel also takes time. What can truly ensure your own safety, Only your strength."

"I know, Professor." Ryan nodded, and he suppressed the smile on his face, "I hope I will never have to use them."

"It's good that you understand this." Dumbledore smiled, "Now that the matter about your safety has been resolved, it's time for us to return to the original topic - Ryan, we should talk about your violation of school rules. ”

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Professor Dumbledore, you see, all these things I do are to maintain the peace of the wizarding world. They are all useful and important things. I'd better be more accommodating about school rules and so on, right?"

"You did provide us with a lot of valuable clues." Dumbledore said, "You also made a lot of contributions. Well, let me think about it, whether it was breaking into the professor's office privately, stealing the professor's belongings, or Going into Hogsmeade, I think these things can be forgiven."

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Dumbledore was an informal person.

At this time, Dumbledore said with a half-smile: "So, why don't we talk about the Polyjuice Potion?"

Ryan grimaced.

"It's not easy to collect the ingredients for Polyjuice Potion." Dumbledore stared at Ryan, "Plus the Ministry of Magic strictly controls the circulation of Polyjuice Potion, I don't know where you can get the ingredients."

"Professor, I guarantee that the method of obtaining the materials is absolutely formal." Ryan lowered his head.

"Where does mercury come from?" Dumbledore said softly.

Ryan muttered, "I asked my dad to buy it for me."

"Ah ha, you can still think of obtaining materials from Muggles." Nico Flamel clapped his hands, "You are quite clever as a little wizard."

Dumbledore continued to ask: "I know the amphora, it's in the little wizard's medicine cabinet. Where's the oozeweed?"

Ryan's eyes drifted and his toes drew circles on the ground: "Professor Sprout gave it to me."

Dumbledore took a breath and said playfully: "You don't want to tell me that you got it while in solitary confinement, do you?"

Ryan shrank his head and said nothing.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, "I should have thought of it when Minerva was praising you. You don't look like a well-behaved little wizard who can take the initiative to ask for an extension of confinement. .”

Nico Flamel also narrowed his eyes: "Let me guess, you professors were all deceived by a little wizard?"

Dumbledore's eyes became stern: "Ryan, is it okay to deceive others to get what you want?"

Ryan sighed and did not argue. He knew that since the Polyjuice Potion plan had been discovered, he would have to face the principal's questioning.

The smile on Dumbledore's face had disappeared, and he continued to ask: "Or, I should ask again, where do the two-horned beast's horns come from?"

"Mr. Hagrid gave it to me." Ryan said, "However, I can swear that I never deceived Mr. Hagrid. He gave it to me himself. I didn't expect that he would give me the two horns at first. The horns of the beast.”

"What about the skin of the African tree snake?" Dumbledore asked. "These two materials are the main body of polyjuice potion, and they are not cheap."

Ryan fell silent.

Dumbledore shook his head in disappointment: "Ryan, I have never thought that you are a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve your own goals."

"I have no intention to excuse my behavior, Professor Dumbledore." Ryan said, "The only thing I can say is that no matter what kind of material it is, I asked the professors for it openly and obtained their consent before taking it. Let’s go.”

"You just didn't tell them your intentions. Is that what you meant to say?" Dumbledore's tone softened, "But, Ryan, this is still deception."

"Professor, do you always explain the intention behind everything you do?" Ryan looked up and looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes.

Dumbledore's eyes flickered, and finally he smiled bitterly: "I won't. You're right, Ryan. I have no position to accuse you of your behavior. I just hope that you don't take the wrong path and become a nasty person."

"I know what I am doing, and I am willing to bear the price and responsibility for it." Ryan said, "So, if you, Professor, want to use this matter as a reason to punish me, I will completely obey."

Dumbledore stared at Ryan with a sullen brow for a while, then turned around and asked Nico Flamel to leave with him.

The moment Fox spread his wings, Dumbledore said leisurely:

"Remember what you said today, Ryan."
