Chapter 22 First Success
"Unicorn fur, grosvenorii leaves, gold and silver..."
These are alchemical materials that possess connotations of purity, holiness, and protection. They are mild in nature and have a high affinity for the magic of normal wizards.
Wizards specializing in dark magic are not included in this category.
Ryan used the ancient flames of the Bryn as the source of the alchemy matrix, using its inherent property of "never going out" to add "stability and permanence" to the alchemy ritual.
As clusters of ancient flames traveled along the patterns of the alchemical matrix, the nine-square-meter alchemical matrix in the center of storage room 10086 flickered with fire.
"Separate the earth from the fire, extract the essence from the rough, proceed with caution..." He recited the ancient saying as he carried out the alchemy process step by step.
In short, don't seek merit, seek no merit.
Because not all failures are the same. Some alchemical failures produce usable waste products, while others send the alchemy itself to the winds.
As the gold-plating materials were gradually added, the ceremony drew to a close.
Ryan suddenly felt a little nervous, because he had failed dozens of times before.
If these materials hadn't come from the Forbidden Forest and were a gift from Hagrid, it would be a different story.
In terms of materials alone, converted to Galleons, he has already spent more than two thousand Galleons.
Alchemy is expensive!
Even with his meager savings, he couldn't afford to train many.
Two hours flew by, and thanks to the magic provided by the bracelet and the ample energy potion he had prepared, Ryan managed to get through it.
"At the time when it is not yet finished, guide holiness through the pillars, through the tenth and nineteenth paths, to obtain love and charm, glory and foundation."
"Therefore, he was able to rise above."
"At this point, a miracle will occur."
Suddenly, the alchemical matrix shone brightly, forming a pillar of light.
Gradually, the light dimmed, and a black and gold armband fell from the pillar of light.
Ryan quickly caught it, and after the magic detection, he couldn't hide his joy.
Although this armband is not cost-effective and can only hold the magic power of a second-year wizard.
But this was the first time he had successfully crafted an external magic device after choosing to use materials that would not harm the lives of magical creatures!
It also comes with the ability to dispel dark forces.
The person wearing this armband can repel a handful of zombies simply by standing still, and can also slightly reduce the power of incoming dark magic.
He attached the armband to his sleeve, sensing the magic flowing within it.
At this moment, he has three sources of magic: his own magic, the house-elf bracelet he obtained from the ruins, and the newly crafted armband.
"One day, I'll go out covered in magic power and crush everyone with a single basic attack..."
Exhausted, Ryan joked to himself before collapsing onto the sofa in the rest area and falling into a deep sleep.
In the last second before he lost consciousness, he suddenly remembered that the first class in the afternoon was Defense Against the Dark Arts.
It was also Professor Quirinus Quirrell's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class for fifth graders.
It's okay, I'll just sleep for two or three hours. I'll wake up around noon, and then I can take my medicine to keep my energy up... He thought to himself as he drifted off to sleep.
..........
"I haven't seen Ryan all day," Penelope said at dinner. "He usually doesn't miss class."
"Sometimes when he couldn't get away, he would tell Professor Flitwick in advance."
"I asked the professor, and he said they saw each other this morning, and then he didn't know anything else," Penelope said. "Today was Professor Quirrell's first time teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts to the fifth graders, and he didn't even come..."
Pablo said, "That sounds a bit like bullying Professor Quirrell, not to mention that Professor Quirrell is also a Ravenclaw alumnus..."
The two sighed together.
Losing points in the House is no big deal; the current Ravenclaws are just as good at losing points as the Gryffindors.
Especially for things like violating school rules by going into the restricted book area at night, on average one or two people are caught every week.
This week, just after the start of the new school year, first-year student Terry embarked on a path of no return under the guidance of his seniors.
For the first time in my student life, I was given a week of detention.
Looking at Terry's regretful tears streaming down his face through the window, the senior students who had the same experience were extremely smug: If you're going to get wet in the rain, then get all dressed up and don't even think about using an umbrella.
However, Ryan's approach this time was somewhat inappropriate.
A new Ravenclaw professor teaches his first class, and at this stage, the best Ravenclaw students don't attend.
"They said that Professor Quirrell's face turned black, his stuttering got worse, and he almost couldn't speak anymore..."
"Professor Quirrell is not in the main seat now. I suspect he was given a hard time by Ryan and is so embarrassed and annoyed that he doesn't want to come to the Great Hall for dinner."
Penelope felt sympathy for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who came from Ravenclaw, because students from other houses only vaguely speculated that the position was cursed by the Dark Lord.
They witnessed that dark cloud during a magical experiment.
In the main seat, Professor Flitwick's face was also very grim. The news that Lane had skipped class without asking for leave for a whole day had already spread among the professors.
He wasn't worried that Quirrell and Lane would have any conflict since they were both Ravenclaw students.
Based on his understanding of Ryan, it was impossible for him to skip class without asking for permission.
Because, given Ryan's thick skin, if he tells the professors he's busy and can't get away, they won't take it to heart.
After all, the gifts Ryan gave the professor whenever he had free time weren't given for nothing.
However, the fact that Ryan is absent from class without permission only shows one thing: Ryan currently lacks the ability to request leave.
Flitwick turned his questioning gaze to Dumbledore, knowing that Lane had recently become engrossed in alchemical experiments with external magical devices.
Just as Dumbledore was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something.
Flitwick also sensed that the detection magic he had left in the Room of Requirement had been triggered!
The two exchanged a glance, then got up and hurried up to the eighth floor.
"Felius, what did you see?"
On the way, Dumbledore asked, and from his perspective, he could only see a figure shrouded in a black robe.
The only way to tell that this is an adult wizard is by his height.
"Headmaster, this intruder has covered his face with magic; I can only see the magical black mist."
The next instant, Professor Flitwick shouted, "The intruders seem to have spotted us!"
"I've found him, Philius," Dumbledore said, an invisible wave emanating from his body.
"I've lifted the restriction on our Apparition abilities, let's head straight there."
With a loud bang, he disappeared from the spot.
Flitwick sensed that the restriction preventing him from Apparating had been lifted, and immediately followed Dumbledore, disappearing from the spot after a loud bang as well.
"Has the person left?"
When Flitwick reached the eighth floor, he saw Dumbledore frowning as he checked the surroundings, but found no trace of the intruder.
"When I arrived, the intruders had already vanished, which is very unusual, Philius," Dumbledore said.
"Could they be hiding in the room of fulfillment?"
"We were all here this morning and saw with our own eyes the time it takes for the Room of Requirement to open and close. In such a short time, an intruder wouldn't have enough time."
Dumbledore shook his head: "The intruder has only two options: either Apparition or he has certain access to the Room of Requirement and can control how long it is open and closed."
