Knowing that the Knights of Merlin were still considering nominations, Ivan couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

However, since there is no refusal, it means that this matter is still very dramatic, and it is estimated that when the dust settles on Peter Pettigrew's matter, his Merlin Medal will be in his hands.

Just as Ivan was thinking, he was surprised to see Dumbledore hand over another letter.

Ivan was confused, could it be that he had something else to find out?

Or what bastard wrote to complain about himself?

Several possibilities flashed through Ivan's mind, and he picked up the envelope and looked at it, only to find that there was the signature of the letter underneath.

"Nick Lemay?" Ivan read out the large gilded letters written on the end of the envelope, then looked up at Dumbledore in surprise.

Of course, he understood who Nick Lemay was, but because of this, he felt a little incredulous, he had nothing to do with this world-renowned alchemist, why would the other party send a letter to him.

"Remember the time turner you broke when you broke it?" Dumbledore asked.

Ivan nodded, vaguely remembering his previous guess, and said with conviction. "Did Mr. Nick Lemay fix it?"

"That's right! I specifically reached out to my old friend Nick for his help. Dumbledore nodded, then smiled and continued.

"You can destroy the time turner to such an extent, but it surprised him for a while..."

Ivan scratched his head in embarrassment, the time converter is so bad that it is completely the power of the system, but the existence of the system is still an absolute secret, so I am afraid that this pot will be determined by itself...

"So I talked to him a lot about you, and after learning that you also have a great talent for alchemy, this old friend of mine has been wanting to meet you... If you'd like to meet him, too! Dumbledore's blue eyes under his half-moon glasses stared at Ivan, waiting for his reply.

"Of course! I'm honored! Ivan was overjoyed and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

He is worried that his alchemy has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to grow without anyone to teach him, and now Nick Lemay wants to meet him, which is tantamount to drowsing and sending a pillow.

"And when can we go see my teacher?" Ivan hurriedly asked.

Dumbledore was surprised by the speed with which Ivan changed his words, as he hadn't said anything about Nick's intention to take him as an apprentice....

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly,

"Not now, Hals! You'll have to finish your studies during this time, so you'll have to wait until the summer break, and we're probably going to have to go for a long time, and you'll have to convince your mother and be prepared! Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

Ivan calmed down at this time. Although he felt that with his current level of magic, the third-year course was dispensable for him, but considering the problem of academic grades, Ivan had to be patient and wait until the summer vacation.

Dumbledore saw Ivan's reaction and nodded secretly, he thought Ivan would be more anxious, but he didn't expect this kid to be more patient than he expected.

"Anyway, the rest is in this letter that Nick wrote to you, if there's nothing going on, you can go back first!" Dumbledore waved his hand and spoke.

"Then I won't bother you, Professor!" Ivan placed the Elder Wand on the table, thought for a moment, and took the time-turner out with him.

This time-turner was a Ministry of Magic after all, and there was no need for him to force it to cause Dumbledore's displeasure...

Since Nick Lemay was able to fix the time turner, he probably knew how to make the time thing.

He deliberately tentatively called Nick Lemay a teacher just now, but Dumbledore did not refute it, which shows that Nick Lemay should have wanted to take him as an apprentice when he met him this time.

With that in mind, Ivan walked towards the headmaster's room.

Dumbledore glanced at what Ivan had placed on the table, and watched Ivan's figure disappear into the Headmaster's room...

With the rumbling of the doorway, the headmaster's office was quiet again.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, his palm brushing over his desk, and a diary with a few holes in the middle appeared on the table, with a faint crown next to it.

"The third one!" Dumbledore whispered, holding out his other hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve.

The strange thing is that the palm of this hand is charred black, faintly exuding black gas, and there is also a ring set with black gems on the thumb.

Dumbledore reached out and removed the ring, placing it next to the crown, staring at the three objects in silence.

Ever since Ivan destroyed the diary and crown last school year, he had sensed the secret of Voldemort's immortality, which was to make Horcruxes!

Since there are two of these things at the same time, it is likely that there will be a third, a fourth, or even more!

When he realized this, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.

It is not easy to split a complete soul, so the production of Horcruxes is extremely evil, and it is necessary to break one's own soul through murder and other evil means, and then separate a part of the soul from the body and seal it in a vessel.

After the complete soul is split, it becomes extremely unstable, and making multiple Horcruxes not only has to endure the pain of splitting the soul many times, but also affects the mood of the maker.

It can be said that Voldemort was already almost insane to do such a thing in order to escape death.

Dumbledore muttered to himself with pity or emotion, but the plurality of Horcruxes also meant that Voldemort could not be completely killed.

After all, as long as there is a Horcrux left, no matter what kind of blow he receives, Tom will be able to survive for a long time!

Fortunately, the two Horcruxes Voldemort chose gave him some hints, making his search for the remaining Horcruxes a lot easier!

The Ravenclaw crown is one of the relics of the founding four, and the diary is a vehicle for Tom's life as a student.

Since Tom chose these two items as Horcruxes, it means that the other Horcruxes may not have been chosen at random, but rather more valuable or monumental items.

In addition to the Sword of Gryffindor, Dumbledore suspected that several other relics were most likely made into Horcruxes.

He hadn't forgotten that Tom had returned to Hogwarts to apply for a position as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, and he was a little surprised at the time, and now he thought that Tom would have coveted the Sword of Gryffindor and brought it with him to store the Ravenclaw Crown.

"If that's the case, then there will be at least five Horcruxes—" Dumbledore closed his eyes and muttered to himself after a moment of deep thought.

Then Dumbledore seemed to suddenly think of something, and opened his eyes suddenly, and those blue eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he said tremblingly.

"No, maybe six!"
