Dumbledore praised: "You are really my lucky star, Ryan! I have never been so impressed by a little wizard."

"No, I think it's just luck." Ryan shook his head. He could no longer afford Dumbledore's expectations. "If you hadn't helped me block the punishment from the Ministry of Magic during the summer vacation, I think we I wouldn’t think of transfiguration so quickly.”

"Yes, the murderer is really a smart man." Dumbledore said, "I have always ignored that even the most common curses can exert extremely terrible destructive power if you want to harm people, let alone The transformation technique itself is very dangerous. However, your reaction speed really surprised me. You actually thought of the transformation technique so quickly. I have to say that your foundation is very solid, Ryan."

"I just kept in mind Professor McGonagall's advice in the first class of school." Ryan lowered his head. He didn't want Dumbledore to know that he was secretly studying Gamp's law of transformation. "I raised some doubts in class, McGonagall." The professor gave a detailed answer, including the consequences of turning stone into air."

"Minerva has told me several times." Dumbledore laughed, "Your talent in transfiguration is no less than mine, and you study very hard. You are a promising little wizard."

"I think this might just be Professor McGonagall's compliments," Ryan said.

"Excessive humility is the greatest pride." Dumbledore said, "Your talent is indeed outstanding. I want to personally train your skills."

Ryan quickly shook his head: "I've been busy enough lately, and Ms. Ravenclaw still has a lot of basic things to learn."

He changed the subject: "By the way, Professor, I still have a doubt about the murderer. The first mining accident was caused by the failure of the deformation technique. It stands to reason that the deformation technique has already failed, why would there be a second one?" What about the accident?"

Dumbledore's eyes flashed: "Oh, Ryan, you have asked a rather profound question, which involves the principle of Gamp's law of transformation. I am surprised that you can ask such a question. It shows that you have already understood the theory of transformation. It’s very clear.”

Ryan looked away: "I happened to be asking Professor McGonagall about the deformation theory at this time."

Dumbledore smiled and continued: "Remember the second principle? Transfiguration can only transform things from one state to another."

"Yes, I remember it very clearly." Ryan said, "In fact, I think the disappearance spell is an exception. It can make objects disappear out of thin air."

"You are wrong, Ryan." Dumbledore said. "The Vanishing Curse belongs to the category of transfiguration, so it also follows the three principles. You think the object disappears, but in fact, it just moved from one place to another. If you understand the disappearing cabinet, you will know the true principle of the disappearing spell."

Ryan's eyes lit up and he wrote down this piece of knowledge on parchment.

Dumbledore returned to the original topic: "The transformation of the second principle is not absolutely stable. It depends on the wizard's understanding of the nature of the object, as well as the intensity of magic and mental power. Most things transformed by wizards, if affected by A relatively big blow will return it to its original shape.”

Ryan nodded, remembering the needle he broke in the first Transfiguration class, which quickly turned back into a match.

"The digestion and absorption of the human body is undoubtedly a kind of destruction." Dumbledore said, "The level of this kind of destruction is higher, and the time it can last varies depending on the wizard's level of transformation. You should also You know, some people who eat deformed food have their stomachs filled with stones, while others have their veins filled with mud."

Ryan couldn't help but shuddered: "So, if you go into the mine in Cornwall now, people will still die?"

"I think so," said Dumbledore, "but don't worry, the Ministry of Magic has sealed off the area, and now that we know it's Transfiguration, it will be easier to deal with."

Ryan nodded. He thought for a while and then said: "The murderer is obviously a thoughtful person. If there is no follow-up investigation, he will not be exposed at all. So, why didn't he handle his transformation skill well?"

"Because he chose air, you can't collect the scattered air again, can you?" Dumbledore said, "The way to transform into air is to seal off the area and then keep putting animals in. If you don't If another animal dies, it means that the influence of the transfiguration spell is not enough to cause death.”

"This is really an extremely despicable killing method." Ryan couldn't help but comment.

"Yes, the murderer is a person without any sense of shame." A trace of anger flashed in Dumbledore's eyes. "Of course, he also doesn't know anything about the lives of Muggles, and he doesn't know that there will be people in their court to collect evidence. He The self-righteous concealment method finally revealed the secret he wanted to hide."

"At the cost of the lives of 38 innocent people," Lane added.

"At the cost of the lives of 38 innocent people!" This time, the anger in Dumbledore's eyes was clearly visible. "I think it's time for me to leave. The Ministry of Magic is still waiting for news from me. Ryan, I must tell you again. Thank you for solving a complex problem for us."

Dumbledore took Ryan's hand and he bowed slightly: "I will give an account to those 38 lives."

"Leave it to you, Professor!" Ryan nodded.

Dumbledore strode out of the Room of Requirement.

Ravenclaw spoke at the right moment: "If you don't have anything else to do, then it's time for us to get to class."

"Please wait a moment." Ryan said, "I still have some things to contact the members of the monastery."

Ravenclaw nodded and did not continue speaking.

Ryan walked to the corner, picked up the token, and pressed his wand against the surface of the token.

"What's the matter?" Wei Ge came online very quickly.

Ryan was silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice: "Dumbledore just came to see me."

Wei Ge's breathing suddenly became a little faster.

"However, I didn't tell him about you." Ryan raised the corner of his mouth.

Wei Ge's resentful voice sounded: "Please don't gasp when you speak."

Ryan stopped joking and said, "I have something to entrust you with. If you have friends in the UK, could you please help me investigate the robbery that occurred in Knockturn Alley in August?"

"Why are you checking on Knockturn Alley?" Wei Ge asked.

"I suspect that man is related to the conflict in Hogsmeade." Ryan said, "He may be the mastermind behind it."

Wei Ge's voice immediately became louder: "Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure." Ryan laughed. "If I can be sure, what else should I contact you for? Of course, if you have someone in the Ministry of Magic, you can also ask for it yourself."

"We will confirm it ourselves." Wei Ge was noncommittal.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, these words were meaningful.The Priory didn't have a meddle in the Ministry of Magic?It’s not like that, it’s a big organization after all.But if he could get information from the Ministry of Magic, Weige could simply answer "yes".

Recalling what Weige said before, the Ministry of Magic has all the power and is very wary of private organizations. Ryan guessed that the Priory may have its own people in the Ministry of Magic, but their status is not high.

Ryan smiled and did not expose them. He continued: "Also, if you can, pay attention to the events on the Muggle side. Maybe there are clues you need hidden in them."
