Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Ryan took the box and saw a photo inside.

Ryan saw the familiar figure in the photo at a glance.

It was a well-mannered man and a beautiful woman.

So Ryan recalled the glimpse he had in the Gaunt family's old house.

Those were Renaud and Avni Elias – his parents.

The time in the photo seemed to be a long time ago, so they looked younger than the reflection of their souls that Ryan saw through the Resurrection Stone.

In the photo, Renault is smiling, wearing a windbreaker and jumpsuit, goggles on his head, and hiking boots on his feet - standard attire for an archaeological team.

While Avni Elias seemed to be simply posing with them, wearing a beautiful white dress.

This is consistent with the information Ryan obtained from asking Dean Aisha and Ms. Pella some time ago.

His father was indeed a member of an archaeological team, but the two ladies were obviously not aware of the details.

His mother was a doctor and seemed to have met his father during archaeological work.

And Ryan also saw that there were other people standing beside them.

Among them, there are two people closest to his parents.

A bearded man and a tall man - neither of them were dressed in archaeological uniforms, but in casual clothes, looking like adventurers.

Especially the tall man who covered his entire face. Only a pair of green eyes could be seen, and the rest of his appearance was completely invisible.

Ryan saw their names below the photo.

【Alsam Roye】

【Tylana】

These were all names Ryan had never heard of.

and...

"Tylana—a lady's name? No last name... and someone so tall?"

Ryan was a little surprised.

"This is the only photo left in the room after the fire. Your relatives gave it to the orphanage. We showed it to you when you were a child... I think you still remember it."

"Now that you understand, I think it's time to hand it over to you."

Dean Aisha said softly.

"Um...thank you, Dean."

Ryan took a look at the photo.

He didn't say much, just thanked her softly, and then quietly put the photo into his ring.

"I'll keep it."

Then, he waved to Dean Aisha and said, "Well, I'll be leaving first."

he said with a smile.

"Friday."

Then, accompanied by his soft call.

The white cat, which had been lying on the silver linden tree far away, seemed to be hiding from Ryan. After hearing what he said, it also looked at Ryan warily.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone pluck your hair this time!"

Ryan said righteously that Friday had been tortured by the children recently.

"Meow!"

So Friday meowed.

It leaped up and landed on Ryan's shoulder.

Then, it flashed with colorful glow.

Ryan and Friday disappeared from the spot.

Only Ryan's voice remained, lingering around.

"Tell the kids I'll be back with yummy new candy."

The sadness of the past will not slow him down - the guidance of the Big Four and the care of the welfare home have already made his heart firm and strong enough.

He will only remember the past and move forward with full expectations.

Chapter 146 Goodbye Ollivander! The most powerful wand of all time!

“The combination of cookie crumbs and diced strawberries is absolutely divine, and the ice cream, combined with the creamy soft cream, is like a symphony in your mouth.”

"The only problem is that the floating icing sugar...it's too low in purity! After eating it, you'll just feel lighter, but you won't actually float!"

"But even so, I, Ryan Elias, still approve of this—this brand new 'Strawberry Cream Float' from Florin's Ice Cream Shop deserves a 9!"

Ryan was very confident - he felt that even if he didn't engage in magic research, he would definitely be able to make a living by being a special reporter and food reviewer for the "Magic Food Daily".

He even had a sudden thought at this moment - maybe he could form a dessert review team with Headmaster Dumbledore.

"Meow!"

"Oh, Friday—of course I won't forget you... You can be our mascot and form a group with Fox."

Ryan walked on the streets of Diagon Alley while daydreaming.

The bustle here was no different from the first time he came here. The noisy atmosphere and the constant flow of people made Ryan seem inconspicuous.

Thanks to the slow spread of news in the wizarding world, even though the entire wizarding world now more or less knows the existence of the 'heir of Hufflepuff', there are still only a few people who really know Ryan.

Naturally, Ryan's purpose in coming to Diagon Alley this time was certainly not just for sweets - although that was indeed a large part of the reason.

His main purpose in coming to Diagon Alley was actually to go to Gringotts.

He had a lot of questions to ask the goblin Neil.

But to his disappointment, when he entered Gringotts...

"So Mr. Neil is not here?"

He looked at the goblin who was sorting the gems on the high counter in front of him and asked softly.

"Yeah, yeah... that lucky guy."

The fairy in front of him couldn't help muttering after hearing Neil's name.

"He made a big deal... a very big deal... and he got a huge fortune out of it."

Even Ryan could smell the sour taste in his mouth.

That's right.

For Ryan, he did learn a lot of huge things about the Big Four in the past year.

But at the same time, he also had more doubts.

Some of these things, in his opinion, were likely related to the treasures left behind by the Four Giants.

The Marauder's Map is one of them.

During his previous investigation of the Marauder's Map, he was able to determine that the essence of the Marauder's Map seemed to be a goblin creation, and with the help of Hermione, he found the mark of the goblin crown 'Crown of Alondil'.

This naturally reminded him of the goblin 'Neil' he met in Gringotts, and the treasure left behind by the Big Four.

So, he came here today specifically to look for Neil again, hoping to get more information from this goblin manager.

But obviously.

Compared to the benefits he had gained from inheriting the vault in Gringotts, the goblin Mr. Neil had obviously also gained huge benefits from it.

This naturally made Ryan understand why the goblin manager was so excited at the time.

"A huge fortune? Who gave him the fortune?"

So, Ryan naturally continued to ask.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke...That's none of your business, wizard!"

The goblin might be jealous or envious, but he was obviously getting impatient at the moment.

"I only know that he... Neil, the guy who was supposed to be kissed by the Niffler, fulfilled an ancient contract - as for what it was, no other goblin besides the Duke knows for sure... No!"

He said angrily.

But after hearing this, Ryan raised his brows again.

"Duke? Are you talking about the goblin duke in England?"

"Yes! Of course it's him... who else could it be? Are you going to withdraw the money or not? Or bring some treasure with you, otherwise I don't have time for you... Oh——"

The goblin was halfway through his dissatisfied words - because at this moment he raised his head and looked at Ryan for the first time.

As soon as he noticed Ryan's appearance, his expression instantly became horrified.

Ryan saw his pointed ears begin to tremble and then droop - this made Friday tilt his head in confusion, and even for a moment he thought the other party was also a cat.

"You are...Oh, the great Mr. Elias."

The goblin's voice suddenly became flattering.

"How could someone as noble as you come to Gringotts in person? This is really..."

His voice was very kind.

"Do you want to withdraw money? Or do you want to go to your vault... I promise it's very safe. It's right next to the Lestrange family's vault No. 687, guarded by a dragon and a sphinx..."

"Oh, no need."

In fact, if he hadn't said it, Ryan would have almost forgotten that he had previously opened a vault in Gringotts.

And he obviously had no interest in looking at his own vault - although he did put a lot of Galleons in the vault to cover up his tracks.

But at the end of the day...he has never touched money, he has no interest in money.

So compared to going to the vault, Ryan obviously wanted to ask more about the situation of the fairy clan.
