Now.
She wanted to know if Ian had found the Mysterious Man who had handed out the paper slip—the Witch's expression showed her dissatisfaction, she couldn't believe the problem she couldn't solve was easily resolved by someone else.
"Wasn't that your prank?"
Ian looked at Morgan's serious expression with surprise; he had shown the paper slip to almost everyone, yet it didn't elicit any reaction at all.
"Looks like you haven't found the person who gave you the slip, huh..."
From Ian's reaction, Morgan discerned the answer. Her furrowed brow became increasingly tense, and her distorted yet delicate face prompted Ian to respond.
"Perhaps that person has already left Hogwarts, or maybe they prepared in advance to avoid being tracked." This was Ian's most reasonable explanation.
However.
His judgment based solely on logical reasoning made Morgan's gaze become dangerous again; her furrowed brow transformed into a slightly cold smile.
"Do you think there exists a wizard in your little children's playhouse of a school, stronger than me?" Morgan fully demonstrated the speed at which a woman's expressions can change.
"..."
Ian hurriedly shook his head.
"Of course not, that person must have already run away, yes, that's right, after giving me the slip, they ran out of the school, that's why I couldn't use your methods to find them."
The Little Wizard's resolute tone made Morgan's expression slightly better, though her re-tightened brows still showed confusion.
"Perhaps... After all, I endowed that slip with my understanding of magic, it has an effect in the mundane world. I don't believe there exists a wizard in your era who surpasses me."
"Even the highly reputed Albus Dumbledore you mentioned is just half a step short. Yet, even that half-step difference equates to the disparity between a worm and the heavens."
Morgan's tone carried a hint of defiance, she certainly had the qualifications to make such assessments. Human wizards' magic power might have limitations, but their mastery and understanding of magic knew no bounds.
"My suggestion is you and Dumbledore have a duel!" Ian eagerly handed over the Ring of Patronus, he had endlessly coaxed this Legendary Witch for a long time.
Who wouldn't want a Legend-level Heroic Spirit as their Patronus?
It wasn't truly about enjoying watching a Bad Woman and a grumpy old man duel.
"Haven't you given up on that delusion?" Morgan didn't let Ian's wish come true, she merely sighed helplessly, finally providing an explanation after turning down Ian countless times.
"Your magic power can't even carry a little town's manifestation, what makes you think you can support my return to this world?" The Legendary Witch's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Such a response left Ian slightly surprised.
"I feel my magic power should be nearing the wizard limit you mentioned." Ian tried to justify himself, his slightly furrowed brow and puzzled expression persisted, "And didn't you say you've already lost your magic and powers? By rights, you should find it easier than this Giant Dragon to appear in the world through a Patronus Charm?"
The Little Wizard indeed had a bit of unyielding spirit.
He looked at the enormous Dragon beside him, at this moment, the Dragon's massive eyes rolled in frustration while twitching on the ground; fortunately, being a mere soul, it wouldn't die again.
"Tsk, tsk, I'm curious, why do you, little guy, think that a lazy, greedy Dragon is harder to summon to the world than a wizard like me?"
In order to completely dispel Ian's ideas, Morgan took back the Ring of Patronus from Ian, slowly sliding it onto her finger.
"This hasn't been tested yet."
Ian wanted to stop Morgan's adventurous act.
"Then consider this moment as your experiment." Morgan showed no concern about the Alchemy Creation having a negative impact on her.
Due to Ian's special design, the ring automatically shrinks to fit, shining brightly on the finger of this Legendary Witch, appearing exceptionally eye-catching and dazzling.
"No need to cross life and death, come now, my foolish pig-like apprentice, feel... the weight of your teacher." The Witch smiled mischievously.
She created a magic wand for Ian.
"Summoning God Guardian!"
Ian, who didn't believe in evil, immediately cast the spell with the magic wand, and then, a silver glow erupted, the full-fledged Patronus Charm appearing magnificent.
At the same time.
Silver threads constantly seeped out from the Ring of Patronus worn by Morgan.
This ring was an Alchemy Creation Ian made inspired by the Resurrection Stone, containing powerful magical forces, and formed a perfect resonance with the Patronus Charm Ian cast.
The threads on the ring seemed to gain life, attempting to pull Morgan towards Ian, yet appeared incredibly weak and ineffective.
Only this.
Ian's magic power surged violently within him, yet the silver threads only cycled through breaking and reshaping, unable to achieve their intended result.
"It's my craftsmanship that's lacking, the ring doesn't work well." Ian's face flushed with embarrassment, but even as he stopped casting, he remained a bit defiant.
