The Witscherchi road was near a mountain forest, and the Knight Bus finally stopped at an off-road vehicle camp at the foot of the mountain.

Thick snow covered the cabins in the camp, and the cold weather made it impossible to see a soul nearby.

After Ryan got out of the car, he immediately cast a heat spell on himself, and then connected to the Priory's token.

"I'm already at Wittcher's End," Lane said.

Wei Ge's voice came out: "Wait a moment, I'm recording your location... Okay, Sexy, Mensa is at the foot of the mountain at the west intersection, go and pick him up."

"Received." Gwendelin replied.

After a while, Ryan saw a small black dot appear on the mountain road.

Gwendolen was wearing a thick black wizard robe, and she was holding an oil lamp without a candle in her hand. When she came closer, Ryan immediately felt a heat from the oil lamp.

Ryan glanced at the lantern in Gwendelin's hand with some curiosity.

Wizard version of hand warmers?

"Edward?" Gwendolin stared at Ryan's face and frowned slightly.

"It's me." Ryan replied in a low voice, and he raised the mountain case token in his hand.

"You didn't drink the polyjuice potion this time, did you?" Gwendolen asked suspiciously.

"Of course not." Ryan's eyes were open, "On the other hand, you never revealed your name from the beginning to the end."

Gwendolen showed a charming smile, turned and walked towards the mountain: "It is not polite to ask a lady's name casually, Mensa."

Ryan followed her and asked, "Is your safe house in the mountain?"

"Of course, but it's not a safe house." Gwendelin replied, "The room here is more commonly used by us. Everyone comes here to deal with some affairs. Although there is a Loyalty Curse, there are quite a few people who know about it."

She took out a note from her pocket: "Remember this address."

The note read: No. 31, Witcherchi Street.

Ryan's eyes flashed as a mountain villa seemed to squeeze out from between two trees out of thin air.

Gwendolin opened the door of the mountain villa.

"Hello, Cecitas." A tall chestnut-haired witch leaned lazily on the sofa in the living room and greeted slowly, "Hello, let me think about it... Mensa?"

"It's me." Ryan nodded. He felt that this witch exuded a very kind and similar smell all over her body.

Gwendelin introduced: "This is Laila."

"Hello, Laila." Ryan thought for a moment, "Lyra?"

"That's right." The witch codenamed Laila said with a smile, "It's a codename that suits me well. After all, my love for music is as much as my love for magic. Unlike Sexy, she is devoted to everything. On alchemy."

"Call me Cece Tansi!" Gwendolen complained, "I don't like short names."

Ryan maintained his poker face: "It seems like you have a good relationship?"

"She is my senior sister." Gwendelin said, "We have known each other for a long time. She was the one who introduced me to the monastery."

You might as well think about how to deal with your teacher Nico Flamel!

Ryan couldn't help but say this.

"I'm taking a leave of absence from school to travel." Leila said. "Of course, I only applied for the opportunity to take a leave of absence with excellent results in all subjects. Beauxbatons is quite strict."

Ryan restrained himself from glancing at Gwendelin. This little Veela really wasn't lying. She did have privileges.

"Okay, I think it's time for us to get serious." Gwendelin said, "The preparations for the ceremony have been completed. Wei Ge will come over with Scott after he has handled the matters at hand."

Ryan couldn't help grinning, and he asked: "Does Scott also understand runes?"

"He is a resident of Knockturn Alley." Laila said. "If a dark wizard can't make black magic items, it will be difficult to survive in Knockturn Alley. Black magic items are actually derivatives of alchemy, and alchemy requires A certain foundation of runes.”

Ryan nodded thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, Mensa." A glimmer of gloating flashed through Gwendolin's eyes, "I remember you said that you would apologize to Scott if you had the chance."

"Of course." Ryan regained his composure, "I will keep my word."

Seeing that Ryan didn't seem to have much of a reaction, Gwendelin couldn't help but hum.Apparently, she was still resenting the last time Ryan threatened her with Nico Flamel.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't stand Ryan's calm face even more.So, she rolled her eyes and remembered the way the wizard was so confused by his talent when they met in Diagon Alley.

Gwendelin raised the corners of her mouth, and her body began to exude seductive charm bit by bit.

"Sesitance." Laila, who was lying on the sofa, spoke softly, with a serious tone.

Gwendelin sighed and reluctantly restrained her talent.

This senior's perception is still as sharp as ever.

Ryan also breathed a sigh of relief, and he stopped the Occlumency that he was quietly operating.

At this moment, a crackling sound came from the air in the living room, attracting the attention of the three people.

A tall, thin wizard with brown hair held the hand of another young wizard with black hair, and the identities of the two people could be guessed at a glance.

"You came quite quickly, Wei Ge." Laila greeted the brown-haired wizard.

"You're still the same, Laila." Weige said in a helpless tone, "Can you get up from the sofa?"

Then, his eyes stopped on Ryan.

Ryan shrugged, and he bowed slightly to the gloomy black-haired little wizard: "I'm sorry about what happened last time, Scott."

Scott snorted coldly and looked away.

Weige's eyes stopped on Scott this time, and he looked at him silently for a while.

Scott twisted his neck uncomfortably and muttered in a mosquito-like voice: "Forget it."

Wei Ge then looked back and said in a kind tone: "During this ceremony, cooperation between each other is very important."

"I will not affect my mission because of personal grudges." Ryan replied.

Wei Ge nodded: "Well, before the ceremony begins, I still have to confirm the authenticity of what you said before. If you don't mind, can you demonstrate rune casting? In fact, this is also useful for today's ceremony. A certain impact.”

Hearing this, everyone in the living room looked at Ryan, even Scott.

"Okay." Ryan raised his hand.

He thought for a while and skipped the rune "fire" because it was the opening spell of Fox's tail feathers. He didn't want to attract Dumbledore by accident, let alone lose such a precious life-saving means.

"water."

Ryan let the magic power flow along the path of clear water, and soon summoned a ball of water in his hand.

He dissipated the maintaining magic power and let the water flow down the gaps between his fingers.

The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat silent. In the end, Wei Ge was the first to speak: "It is indeed rune casting, which is amazing."

"The part that represents the water element in the ceremony is left to you." Gwendelin said, "This is the most important element in the life-extending potion. If you have a deeper understanding of runes, the effect of the potion you make will definitely be better."

"No problem." Ryan nodded in agreement.
