Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

So Ryan seemed to have no way to continue speaking.

He sensed a heaviness in the words of the legendary alchemist.

That is the weight of time.

but...

"..."

He looked at Nicolas Flamel, but for some reason he felt that there was something untrue in the old wizard's words.

He always felt that there was a familiar sense of déjà vu about the other person.

but...

"I heard from Albus that you wanted me to help you with something?"

Nicolas Flamel quickly changed the subject.

He really did seem to be unconcerned about his own death.

Ryan came to his senses after a brief moment of daze.

"Yes... it's the Ravenclaw diadem."

So it took him a while to react.

"It was made into a Horcrux."

He took out the Ravenclaw Diadem from his ring, which had been lying with him for most of the term.

And this obviously attracted Nicolas Flamel's attention.

"Oh?"

The old alchemist exclaimed in surprise, then he took out a monocle from his sleeve.

"This is the True Vision Mirror. It allows me to see things in greater detail... I'm old, and my eyesight isn't what it used to be."

As if noticing Ryan's curious look, Nicolas Flamel explained, and then he turned his eyes to the crown in his hand.

"Oh, the Ravenclaw Diadem—I never thought I'd see it in my final moments... Hmm? There really is a soul inside."

His expression gradually became serious, and he quickly came to the conclusion: "It is indeed a Horcrux - and the soul inside is very evil and not normal."

It was obvious that Mr. Tom was not in his right mind.

"You want me to help you take out that soul?"

Nicolas Flamel then looked at Lion.

"Yes."

Ryan nodded: "As for the reward..."

"Oh, no!"

But Nicolas Flamel waved his hand at this moment.

"I'm not short of Galleons—in fact, I'm dying... I don't need anything."

He stared at the crown intently, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm. "This use of the alchemical matrix is ​​truly a Ravenclaw masterpiece... It's very novel and interesting... It also possesses the characteristics of soul magic..."

He muttered, then looked at Dumbledore and Ryan: "Albus, Ryan - perhaps you would like to stay here for a while?"

After hearing this, Ryan still hadn't reacted.

Dumbledore answered first: "Two weeks at most - after the Easter holidays, we have to leave."

After hearing this, Ryan finally understood why Dumbledore said he would miss the Easter dinner.

The old wizard had obviously anticipated the current situation.

"enough."

Then Nicolas Flamel nodded and said affirmatively.

"The guest rooms are on the second floor. Follow the puppets downstairs and you'll find them. They'll also prepare food every day - feel free to wander around."

"About Horcruxes... I need to find a 'Soul Frequency Slicer'. Where did I put it?"

He muttered to himself and walked away tremblingly.

Only Ryan was left speechless, looking at Dumbledore with a little confusion.

to be frank.

Before Ryan came to this alchemy workshop, he thought of many possibilities of meeting Nicolas Flamel.

He thought that the other party might be furious and might accept his compensation, but he didn't think about the current situation!

"Principal... How can a person be so indifferent to his own death?"

So, he asked softly.

"Death is just the beginning of another great adventure, Ryan."

But Dumbledore sighed and said at this moment.

"Niko has realized this long ago. You don't need to be sad about this."

Hearing this, Ryan suddenly raised his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Because at this moment, he suddenly realized who Nicolas Flamel sounded like.

"He resembles you, Headmaster Dumbledore."

"...Oh, I don't quite understand what you're talking about, Ryan?"

Dumbledore blinked.

"The tone of voice—it seems like there's a legitimate reason, but actually... that might only be part of the real reason."

The more Ryan talked, the more familiar it felt: "Are you hiding something from me again?"

Ryan said doubtfully.

But the old wizard only showed a puzzled expression.

"Oh, you're overthinking it, Ryan."

"Would you like some chocolate? Ryan - after knowing that you were going to Azkaban today, I prepared this specially for you."

He took out a piece of chocolate.

"..."

So Ryan extended his hand.

He took the chocolate, casually repelled the cat's paw that was quietly reaching out from the side, and put the chocolate into his mouth amid Friday's dissatisfied meows.

The rich aroma cleared his mind.

He looked at Dumbledore and asked no more questions.

He was just recalling Nicolas Flamel's every move just now, and he already had some plans in mind.

"Principal, let's go—let's go..."

But just when he was about to invite Dumbledore to go to the guest room to take a look.

"Ok?"

Dumbledore seemed to sense something and raised his head seriously.

"Fox..."

He spoke in a low voice - Ryan had never heard Dumbledore's voice so solemn.

"Wow!"

So the next moment, Ryan saw that Fox, who was already very tired, seemed to complain.

But it seemed to be able to sense Dumbledore's mood at the moment.

So it quickly turned into a streak of fire and disappeared from the spot, only to reappear not long after.

At this moment, there was an extra letter in its claws.

"Thanks a lot."

Dumbledore patted the phoenix and took the letter.

He glanced at the wax and signature on the envelope, then...

"Ryan, I'm afraid I have to leave for a while."

he said softly.

After hearing this, Ryan was also stunned.

"Is there an emergency? Do you need my help?"

He didn't say much, just asked directly.

Because Ryan knew very well that given Dumbledore's style of doing things, this kind of temporary change of plan must mean that something big had happened.

"No...it's okay..."

But Dumbledore shook his head and said calmly, "It's just a private matter."

He put the letter away.

And at the last moment when he put the letter away.

Ryan seemed to see the sealing wax and mailing address on the letter.

There is a picture of an old tower on it.

That is...

"Nurmengard."

Chapter 130: Spy on me and you will see the shadow of the future!

Dumbledore left.
