A dry self-introduction was actually not very meaningful.
Jon never knew who Cecatly was. Although he knew the girl's specific identity, Cecatly's name was not very well-known to him.
Similarly, Professor Sprout was the same.
However, when someone introduced themselves, it was not good to make any other reaction. That would be too rude. Professor Sprout was not Jon. He did not have any grudges against this girl.
In fact, Jon did not have any grudges against Cecatly. He was actually a businessman. As he had emphasized many times, as long as there were enough benefits, he could put aside any grudges. Besides, his things were related to Cecatly. The pair of gloves originally belonged to the ancient Egyptian gods.
"I'm Jon Smith. Since you can find me, you should know who I am in the future. This is Professor Sprout. You should know him, right?"
"Of course, I've heard a lot about you."
The box in Cecatly's hand fell in the middle of the table. It was a space Jon had specially cleared. The three of them chatted faintly, but intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes fell on the iron box.
Cecatly, of course, knew what was in the box. Professor Sprout could also feel the strong waves coming from the box. Only Jon did not know what was in the box, nor could he feel the waves. Because he was not wearing glasses, he could not see anything unusual. However, this did not prevent him from observing the expressions of the two people around him. He guessed that they were nervous about something.
Therefore, he also stared at the box. However, the box looked like a solid piece of metal. It was completely different from the box Lun Na brought back for him. Moreover, the surface of the box didn't have any carvings. It looked very smooth, and there was nothing that shouldn't be there.
However, after looking at it for a long time, he felt that the box was emitting some kind of unsettling aura. Even his heartbeat was accelerated by this aura.
This was not a good sign.
"I'm afraid you have already guessed the purpose of my visit today."
Cecatly looked at Jon and said. As for whether Professor Sprout was present, it did not matter. When she sat down, she had already seen the book Professor Sprout was reading. It was all about the ancient Egyptian gods. Jon must have told Professor Sprout everything about him.
Since Jon did not think much of it, Cecatly did not think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Professor Sprout was indeed a very knowledgeable and experienced witch. Although she was not as knowledgeable as Mr. Grindelwald, with her help, their meeting would be relatively easier.
So.
It was already 2: 30 in the morning, and the meeting could begin.
"Before I came here, all my family members had died, so there is one thing I want to make clear in advance. I may have to live here for a long time, but you don't have to worry about my identity. Mr. Grindelwald has promised to help me solve the problem of living in Hogwarts Academy. Perhaps he will personally talk to Principal Dumbledore, but I naturally need to make this clear to you first because if there are not too many changes, we may become neighbors in the future."
Cecatly was the first to speak, explaining the situation they were about to face rather bluntly.
Then, she reached out her hand. She placed it on the box in front of her and looked up at the two Wizard in front of her.
"I'm not a Wizard, so there are some precautions you need to take in advance. It may be a little troublesome to open this thing."
"Oh, Miss Todd, you don't have to worry about this." Professor Sprout nodded. Under Jon's arrangements, she had already mastered the protective spell here. If there were any changes, she would immediately activate the spell here. "Just treat me as a bystander. You can say whatever you want, but I will strictly protect your communication."
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you."
No one could deny that there was absolutely no fault in Cecatrice's manners.
When her hand landed on the iron box, a clear clicking sound was heard. It was probably some kind of mechanism. Jon knew that there was a similar mechanism on his previous box, but he did not have a good method like "fingerprint recognition", so he could only break the box with brute force.
After verifying Cecatly's identity, the mechanism in the box began to twist. Then, on the smooth surface, a clear crack burst open, and in the end, it became a lid that could be opened.
Gently, Cecatrice lifted the lid. The thing that was originally sealed inside the box. He was also exposed to the yellow light cast by the magic chandelier.
It was a crystal pyramid that looked sparkling and translucent.
"It looks like an alchemy product?"
Chown took the opportunity to put on his glasses and carefully look at the things that Stuffed Shashali had brought over with great care.
This crystal pyramid was probably not formed naturally. It was a product of alchemy made with silver or gold as the base and crystal or some other magical substance as the medium. Back in Mr. Nico Lemay's laboratory, Jon had seen many such things. This material was usually used to make the last protective layer of the time converter, which was the protection of the dial of a clock. This thing looked like a crystal, but it was actually a transparent glass metal. It had strong protective power, whether from the inside or the outside. It could even withstand the huge explosion spell cast by the legendary Wizard or the Avada Death Spell.
The last part was, of course, what Mr. Nico Lemay told Jon. It was not an experiment that Jon had done himself. But since a master alchemist like Mr. Nico Lemay said so, it naturally could not be false.
But now, Jon did not feel that this thing was a safe protection. After completely opening the box, a creepy feeling spread from his feet to his hair. The feeling of goosebumps was not a good feeling. Under such circumstances, Jon could only force himself to look at the thing sealed inside.
If he had to describe it, it looked like a face.
