Ryan watched in silence as the golden-red sparks flew down from the sky, flickering and disappearing into the air.

Dumbledore and Nico Flamel were gone.

He smiled silently, his shoulders slowly relaxing.

Ryan took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly to collect his thoughts.

The identity of the mysterious man "Y" has been confirmed, that is, the Death Eater Swinburne Burst. He is undoubtedly related to Voldemort.

Dumbledore is already prepared for Voldemort's back-up plan, which is good news.

I have purchased two life-saving means, both of which are real good things, so you don’t have to worry too much about your safety for the time being.

Ryan smiled. Taken together, he only paid for some information, but in exchange for valuable things and information, he undoubtedly made a lot of money.

He pressed his wand to the lion token.

"Hello, Mensa." Weige's voice rang.

Ryan sighed helplessly and said, "Sorry, I have informed Professor Dumbledore of your news."

Wei Ge choked for a moment, and his tone was a little helpless: "You... forget it, it was expected."

"No, this was unexpected." Ryan said, "I guarantee it was an accident. However, I did get a lot of useful information."

"What do you want to gain?" Weige asked directly as if he had figured out Ryan's temperament.

"That depends on what you are willing to pay." Ryan said, "Of course, I can tell you what happened first."

Ryan briefly mentioned his process from starting in the morning to being intercepted by Nico LeMay.

"Nicol Flamel?" Weige's voice raised.

"Yes, I didn't expect that they would set up surveillance in Hogsmeade Village." Ryan said, "Facing the questioning of a great alchemist and a legendary wizard, I think this has fallen into the category of 'force majeure' ”

"That's right." Wei Ge said, "But don't think about the help in exchanging the snakewood leaves. This is the price we have agreed upon."

"Okay." Ryan shrugged, and the idea of ​​swallowing two leaves flashed through his mind.

But he just thought about it. Ryan considered himself a trustworthy person. Although the leaves of the Tree of Life were valuable, they were not necessary for Ryan. There was no reason for him to risk offending the Priory and do something more than worth the loss.

Besides, Ryan really needs a platform like the Priory to obtain information.Since the Priory bills itself as a gathering of geniuses, the information exchanged by the members is more or less valuable.

"You can ask questions." Ryan said, "But every question must pay a corresponding price."

Gwendolyn spoke first, her tone a little urgent: "What did Nico Flamel say to you?"

"This is a pretty broad question," Lane said, "and it contains most of the most valuable information. What are you willing to give, Cessitas?"

"I can help you brew a potion." Gwendelin immediately answered.

"Not enough." Ryan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wei Ge said: "Sekesi, don't worry now. I think there will be a lot of news about Mensa. You alone may not be able to bear the price he wants. Let's ask first. If you have anything to add, you can ask later." .”

Ryan laughed: "Although I really want to apply for private communication, in order to show my sincerity, I am willing to suffer a little loss."

"Among the people who join us, you are the most fussy I have ever seen." Wei Ge said, "Forget it, everyone has different personalities. If you like this feeling of equal exchange, we will not object."

Wei Ge's voice sounded farther away, as if he was talking to someone. After a while, he asked: "Do you know the whereabouts of 'Lian'?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know," Ryan replied.

Wei Ge sighed, and he continued to ask: "So, I want to know Dumbledore's views on the conflict in Hogsmeade."

"I can tell you the forces involved in this conflict." Ryan said, "So relative to that, what price are you willing to pay?"

"What do you want?" Wei Ge said, "As long as it's not too rare an alchemy item, other items such as potion materials, weapons or anonymous wands, we can provide them."

"Let me think about it." Ryan paused for a moment before saying, "I need a set of two-way mirrors."

Wei Ge was silent for a while, his voice helpless: "We do have a double-sided mirror, but the value of such a thing should have exceeded the information you can provide."

"Don't worry, I'm not a person who buys or sells by force." Ryan laughed, "I can add conditions, for example, what happened on the night when 'Lian' disappeared."

There were whispers from Wei Ge's side again, and it took him a while before he answered: "We must get the news first before we can weigh whether it is worth paying for a set of double-sided mirrors."

"This is not okay." Ryan said, "If you refuse to admit the news, I will be the one who loses. Moreover, I think the essence of intelligence trading is that you and I are willing, isn't it?"

Wei Ge gave a bitter smile: "You are really impeccable. Well, it's just a set of double-sided mirrors. We won't take it too seriously."

The Priory is still very wealthy, Ryan thought to himself. Let’s see if we can squeeze out more money in the future.

"In mid-June, Hogsmeade villager Tyler Nelson was murdered." Ryan slowly explained his theory. "The murderer used polyjuice potion to disguise himself as him and went in and out of Diagon Alley many times. And he caused the Knockturn Alley robbery incident in August. Speaking of which, has there been any result about the Knockturn Alley incident that I commissioned you to investigate?"

A strange voice said: "I did get some information, but what price are you willing to pay in exchange?"

Ryan raised the corners of his mouth, knowing that his behavior would definitely cause some dissatisfaction.However, this is exactly what he wants to see. When this group of young geniuses become familiar with the principle of exchange, the loose structure within the Priory will become compact.

To a certain extent, Lane changed the proportion of idealism in the second clause of the contract "help within his ability". After a transaction occurs, the price of each transaction is confirmed by both parties, and due to the existence of the contract, everyone must fulfill their own obligations. promise.

For Ryan, who decided to join the monastery, this was both a constraint and an encouragement.

Ryan's tone remained unchanged, and he asked: "Do you need anything? I will measure my ability and see if I can reach a deal with you."

The man didn't seem to expect that Ryan would say that. He said with some embarrassment: "I don't have the items I want for the time being."

"It doesn't have to be an item." Ryan was persuasive. "It can be a question, news you want to know, something you need someone to help you with. You can put forward any needs."

"Forget it." The man muttered, "I can't think of anything you need. It's not really valuable news anyway, so I'll just tell you. A dark wizard died during the robbery in Knockturn Alley, and he was a smuggler. , all they do is dirty business, they handle everything, whether it is black magic items, potion materials that are not available on the market, or even some illegal drugs for sale, if you ask me, this kind of person will die."

"Thank you for sharing." Ryan pondered for a moment, "I don't know why this person was involved for the time being, but your information is still valuable, and it helped me remember it this time."

He pressed the token against his chest with his wand in his right hand to maintain communication. He took out the parchment from his pocket with his left hand and scrawled "Smuggler" on the paper with a quill, and drew two straight lines connecting "Y" and "Y". Knockturn Alley.

At this time, Ryan's eyes fell on the previous derivation diagram.

He frowned and asked:

"Are there any magical animals among the goods smuggled by this dark wizard?"
