Snape thought about the discussion group for professors after he used the magic ring. If his Potions had a group for communication, perhaps his potion-making skills could advance to the next level.
But then he remembered the Ministry of Magic's past difficulties, so he could only ask, "How soon will the magic duels in your magic ring be open? Our professors are very eager to try them out."
Lan Luo thought that Daji had just been created, and now magic could be analyzed and deduced through Daji, so dueling could also be opened.
"Of course, it can be anytime, Professor Snape. I'll have Daji arrange it in a moment," Lan Luo replied softly.
Snape, seeing his current appearance, also asked in a low voice, "I used to receive messages from the school even when I was out. Now, the ring's transmission function isn't just limited to within 50 kilometers of the school, is it?" His tone was certain.
"Yes, Professor, I made some improvements," Lan Luo scratched his head, indicating his embarrassment.
Dumbledore then whispered, "Are you trying to bring the ring to the entire Wizarding World?" He had no doubt about Lan Luo's ambition. If it weren't for the school's obstruction, the Ministry of Magic's meager resources might not be enough for Lan Luo to contend with.
"Headmaster, you've been using the magic ring for a while now. Have you ever considered how useful a group chat would be for Potions masters like Snape? Many ideas or innovations could be achieved through the collective effort of many, instead of being stuck in a single dead end," Lan Luo's words touched a nerve with Snape.
Then Lan Luo dropped another bombshell: "I've also refined pure gold that grants eternal life. Wearing this can allow a person to live for at least ten thousand years." After saying this, Lan Luo took out two more rings, each inlaid with a piece of gold shining with a yellow light.
"This pure gold has only one function: to slow down aging and extend life."
Lan Luo's words, heard by Snape and Dumbledore, could be a source of chaos.
Dumbledore thought of the philosophers stone, and after comparing them, he still felt that Lan Luo's pure gold might be even better. It was hard to imagine what level Lan Luo's research on the philosophers stone had reached.
Snape, after wearing it and feeling its effects, nodded to Dumbledore, signaling that what Lan Luo said was true.
Dumbledore thought for a moment and said to Lan Luo, "My boy, have you considered how much sensation these would cause if released, even leading to wars? The means of killing and snatching rings would become unstoppable, and the world would descend into great chaos."
"Headmaster, the root of chaos lies only in human hearts. It is because of their greed that such things happen," Lan Luo said indifferently.
Dumbledore was speechless and could only continue, "How many people are truly selfless? Even I, seeing this ring, want to possess it."
"Then it's a gift for you. Don't worry, pure gold is not like the philosophers stone," Lan Luo was also amazed by his ability to research the philosophers stone, which could convert magic into life force.
Dumbledore also knew the decay of the Wizarding World, but he only wanted stability now. He was old and didn't have many years left to live. He was still in this position, firstly because of his strength, and secondly because of his reputation. He now believed that if he weren't there, Lan Luo might make the entire Wizarding World submit to him the very next day.
So he could only settle for a compromise and said, "My boy, I know you want to spread your ideas. You can sell magic rings and other things within the school, but please don't release the pure gold. I'm afraid that if you do, it will cause a world war."
Lan Luo got what he wanted and stopped pressing the issue. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, Headmaster Dumbledore, I will make Hogwarts even greater."
Snape, beside him, subtly gave Lan Luo a thumbs-up under his robes.
...
So, on the second day, Hogwarts lifted the restrictions on Lan Luo's magic ring. Previously, it was only usable within fifty kilometers of the school; now it was usable globally. Before, only Harry and his friends had magic rings, but now Lan Luo also started selling magic rings within the school.
600 galleons—this was Lan Luo's idea. It couldn't be cheaper than the magic ring, that would be too demeaning.
The high price deterred some ordinary wizards, but many Slytherin students bought them with gold coins. It was said that public duels could now take place inside, and any conflicts could be resolved in the dueling arena within the ring's consciousness space.
One could also use the time magic within the ring to sleep and study. The ring also sold ravenclaw's diadem, which allowed many wealthy individuals to study with ease.
As more and more magic rings were sold, Lan Luo collected more and more data on magic and potions. Daji also slowly began to deduce Potions, which was a weakness for Lan Luo.
His clone also studied in class, learning Herbology from Professor Sprout.
There was also Gilderoy Lockhart's performance class. Several times, Gilderoy Lockhart called him on stage to perform, but Lan Luo's clone, citing the reason that he was full of lightning and couldn't be approached, never succeeded in performing. According to Lan Luo, he was researching an elemental Animagus, which even broke Lockhart's perpetual smile. After a few times, Lan Luo's clone finally got some peace.
And in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, Ron, using his broken wand taped together, turned his rat into a fluffy cup, even with a tail. Lan Luo sometimes felt a pang of pity seeing Ron's family's predicament.
So, that evening, Lan Luo's main body used the method of the elder wand to create a powerful, universal wand for Ron. It lacked the power borrowed from Shinigami, making it slightly inferior to the elder wand, but it was still very powerful among wands.
When Ron received Lan Luo's gift in the ring, he was very happy. He put his broken wand into the ring, then used the wand Lan Luo gave him, casting spells in their room for half the night.
This semester, because Lan Luo had discovered Voldemort's Horcruxes early and dealt with the Basilisk, many events that were supposed to happen passed peacefully.
However, one thing still gave Harry a headache: his Parseltongue had manifested during a duel with Malfoy, and his Gryffindor classmates all said Harry was a pure-blooded Slytherin. Even Harry himself, Ron, and Hermione thought so.
A dejected Harry, unable to find answers elsewhere, could only use the ring's ability to go to Lan Luo's villa.
"Perhaps I really am not a Gryffindor. I should be in Slytherin." Without the Basilisk and having pulled out the Sword of Gryffindor, Harry was somewhat unconfident.
"Harry, listen, you are a true Gryffindor. Would you go to Slytherin and look down on Muggle-born families like Hermione's and mine, like Malfoy does?" Lan Luo kindly reminded him.
Harry imagined himself becoming arrogant like Malfoy, looking down on Muggle-borns, and couldn't help but shiver.
