"You can contact the Priory," Nico Flamel said. "Do you need us to retreat for a while?"

Ryan shook his head. He took out his token and said softly: "Turn on."

Magic power flowed into the token along the fingertips, and soon Wei Ge's voice came out: "Mensa?"

"It's me." Ryan lowered his voice, "I have contacted Mr. Nico Flamel."

"I thought you had forgotten the matter a long time ago." Wei Ge said, "How should we communicate with him? Did he tell you the address to send the letter?"

"Mr. LeMay is by my side now," Lane said. "If anything happens, you can communicate directly."

Wei Ge coughed violently. He was a little at a loss for a moment, and there was a slight tremor in his words. He complained in a low voice with dissatisfaction: "Hey! Mensa!"

"I have no choice." Ryan glanced at Dumbledore, "I told you that I don't have Mr. Flamel's contact information and can only contact him through Professor Dumbledore."

"So..." Wei Ge's voice trembled.

Dumbledore said in a loud voice: "Yes, I'm listening."

The token was quiet for a long time before an old voice came out: "Hello."

Ryan remembered that this voice belonged to the old man who had communicated with him before.

"Forgive me for following me without permission." Dumbledore said, "As a principal, I must care about the students' extracurricular activities to prevent him from being harmed accidentally."

"It's understandable." The old man on the other side of the token replied, "In fact, after we learned that a token was lost in Hogwarts, we were already ready to talk to the greatest white wizard in the world."

"You seem to be very wary of outsiders?" Dumbledore asked meaningfully.

The old man was silent for a moment before speaking: "Necessary caution can avoid a lot of trouble. We don't want to be too high-profile, and we don't want to be targeted by irrelevant people."

"A pretty solid point of view." Dumbledore commented, "If you came out of Hogwarts, I'm a little curious about which Slytherin class you are a student of."

"This is not my opinion alone, but the consensus of most of us." The old man said, "If you have to say it has something to do with Slytherin House, maybe it is only that rumor - Merlin once was in Slytherin House. Attended Leitlin College.”

"Interesting, you didn't deny that you are a student of Slytherin." Dumbledore laughed. He didn't go into details, but took over the old man's topic, "Do you have any relationship with Merlin?"

"Merlin is our spiritual leader." When he said this, the old man's voice was a little proud, "We choose talented people, we cultivate future talents, we help each other and pass it on from generation to generation."

"A very good concept." Dumbledore praised, "It sounds like the war hymn of a group of idealists."

"It's not a war song." The old man said immediately, "We don't like war. In fact, if it is not necessary, we prefer to avoid all conflicts."

"So, the communication you requested this time is necessary?" Dumbledore asked.

The old man sighed: "The whereabouts of a young member are still unknown, and he seems to have been involved in your whirlpool. It is not our style to give up a member easily, but after deploying many people, we have gained nothing. .”

"So you hope to cooperate with the Life Alchemy Society?" Nico Flamel asked.

"Yes, Mr. Flamel." The old man replied, "We tried to use prophecy, but we were unable to find the location of the members. In addition, most of the information we obtained was only relayed and speculated by Mensa, which was not enough to support us in finding the location. Missing members. And Mensa is obviously not suitable to be involved in these things anymore. It would be more efficient for both of us to cooperate directly."

"Since there is no conflict between our goals, I think this is undoubtedly the basis for cooperation." Nico Flamel said, "However, due to some reasons, I personally plan to leave this situation for the time being. If you need it, you can Contact the members of the Life Alchemy Society directly and I can give you the address of the house they use to receive letters.”

"No problem, I can also tell you the location of a correspondence contact point." The old man said, "But, Mr. Flamel, I still have some questions to ask you."

"As long as it's not a personal question, I'm happy to answer it," Nico Flamel said.

"Our members in France have inquired that the mandatory blockade order of the French Ministry of Magic seems to have been resolutely implemented with your intervention." The old man asked, "Can I know what happened?"

"Because someone took something very important from France." Nico Flamel replied, "I suspect that the target of the Alchemy of Life - that is, Swinburne Burst - Le... Mensa should have mentioned it to you. , he fled to France."

"What did he take?" the old man asked immediately.

"This is really a difficult question to answer because it involves my friend's privacy." Nico Flamel sighed, "However, I can reveal some content. After all, this is a mistake of the Life Alchemy Society."

He continued: "Last June, a core member of the Life Alchemy Society was intercepted and killed. When we found his body, he had been tortured to the point of being inhuman shape. A large number of traces of black magic could be detected on his body, including the Cruciatus Curse. There are more than 60 places.”

When Ryan heard this, he couldn't help but gasped.

The old man was silent for a moment and then said: "It's a very cruel method. This Death Eater has dehumanized himself."

Dumbledore said: "Yes, when he was accused, the biggest crime was that he frequently used the Cruciatus Curse to torture people for fun."

The Ministry of Magic did not imprison him in Azkaban in the end, and Ryan couldn't help but sneered.

"This poor member's name is Moulton Adams. He is just an ordinary alchemist with some talent." Nico Flamel sighed, "He is obviously not an Auror, and he has not received any anti-torture training, so, We know that it will be difficult for him to resist such cruel torture, and he will inevitably reveal the internal information of the Life Alchemy Society."

Ryan held his breath, knowing that he was about to hear the key to the whole situation in the first place.

"This information contains some research results of the Life Alchemy Society." Nico Flamel's tone was a little low. "Many of the research contents of the Life Alchemy Society involve some ancient black magic rituals. Of course, their The purpose is to study the principles, improve and optimize the evil parts - however, I do not support their purpose."

Ryan nodded, thinking the same thing.The knowledge of these black magic rituals is in private hands, and it largely depends on people's subjective will. In the face of issues such as life and death, human nature often cannot help but be tested.

Nico Flamel said: "This core member happens to know the worst kind of ritual, the ritual used to refine life."

"Life Refining?" Ryan couldn't help but asked.

"Yes, a ritual that can give life." Nico Flamel said in a serious tone, "This is the most cutting-edge alchemy, and it is also the most evil alchemy. Its price is too terrible."

Dumbledore took over: "Fortunately, the alchemist named Moulton is not weak. Before he was knocked down, he at least conveyed the most useful information, which was the name of the murderer."

"Members of the Alchemy Society launched a rescue, but in the end they only found mutilated bodies in the stinking ditch." Nico Flamel said, "And the Bosted family refused to provide information about Swinburne, and we did not find Swinburne's body." people."

The dancing flames in the fireplace were reflected in Dumbledore's eyes, and he whispered: "Swinburne, as a Death Eater, was in the newspapers back then, and many people recognized him, so Nico contacted me immediately, Because, as a Death Eater, it is hard not to think of Voldemort."

Ryan lowered his eyes and added in his mind:

So, Dumbledore laid a trap for the Sorcerer's Stone.
