Dumbledore's gaze turned complicated, and he said in a deep voice, "Spell Command are an extremely Ancient Magic Power, possibly even predating Ritual Magic, Runes..."

"By 'forming Magic Contract,' you gain a certain power... but you must also obey the contract and accept the limitations it brings."

"Magic Contract?" Wizet noticed Dumbledore's complicated gaze and re-examined the silver magical artifact.

"Is it Magic Contract similar to an ' Unbreakable Vow '? If I break the contract, the price I have to pay is... my life?"

"This is one of the known punishments..." Dumbledore. "As for what other consequences it might cause, I cannot be sure."

"That's precisely why I don't want you to obtain the Spell Command. It might bring some kind of enhancement, but you'll have to bear the burden of the contract for the rest of your life..."

"I don't really care, but you... Wizet, you're still very young, you have unlimited potential. The Spell Command might not be a gift for you, but a limitation."

Wizet immediately pressed, "To bear the burden of a contract for life? If I break the contract, will it affect those around me? How can I find out... exactly what kind of contract it made with me?"

"To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered something like this, so I don't know either..." Dumbledore interlaced his fingers and circled his thumbs back and forth.

He picked up the banknotes on the desk. "Usually, to enter into Curse Order Contract, a certain Spell Command has already been determined..."

"You need to use this as your goal to complete the Curse Order Contract, and find a suitable place... a suitable time of day..."

As Dumbledore spoke, he wrote down what he was saying, "Besides these, we also need to consider suitable Ritual Magic... suitable magical artifacts... and various supporting conditions..."

His writing is fast and steady; he can leave the corresponding words on the paper almost as soon as he finishes speaking a sentence.

"Once all conditions are met, the Spell Command will summon you, and you will need to respond to the Spell Command's call..."

"With the signing of the Curse Order Contract, one must live in accordance with the Spell Command, and the Spell Command will begin to take effect." As he finished speaking, the last stroke was also completed.

As Wizet listened to Dumbledore's words, she recalled Salazar Slytherin's memories of Basilisk, and after sorting through the two together, she discovered the similarities between them.

For example, Salazar Slytherin's choice to raise the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets was a choice of location, and the Alchemy Magic Array and Ritual Magic Array were suitable Ritual Magic.

The call issued by the Spell Command was, in response to Salazar Slytherin communicating with the Basilisk egg, Basilisk egg shaking in response...

Wizet looked at the clearly laid-out parchment. "Headmaster Dumbledore, if I want to know the contents of my contract with the Spell Command, I need to recreate these steps, is that correct?"

"I can't guarantee that." Dumbledore shook his head, tapped the desk with his finger, and a tea set and several delicate tea snacks appeared out of thin air on the desk.

"Because your situation is very special, I don't have a better way for the time being... Recreating the process of forming the Curse Order Contract can obtain complete information about the Spell Command, which is worth a try."

"Then I'll try this method first!" Wizet murmured. "Headmaster Dumbledore, I'll design the whole process first, and please point out any problems I encounter!"

Seeing Wizet's serious expression, Dumbledore stroked his beard and a smile appeared on his face. "Of course, I'd be happy to help!"

Seeing such an expression shows that Wizet is quick to accept the situation and is not discouraged at all; she is actively seeking solutions.

Dumbledore picked up the teapot and began to pour tea. "You seem quite confident," he said. "So, where do you think we should begin?"

"Thank you!" Wizet took the teacup handed to him. "I wouldn't say I'm very confident, but I feel that since it has happened, it's better to prioritize solving the problem."

"Of course, that is indeed better!" Dumbledore smiled approvingly and added a few sugar cubes to his teacup.

Wizet took out her notebook and began writing, "A suitable place... the fourth floor... the room where the Mirror of Erised once stood..."

"In addition, Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets of Secrets should also be verified; neither of these places can be overlooked..."

"The right timeframe... Last school year, my encounter with Voldemort was at night, and yesterday I suddenly collapsed at night... It should all be around midnight... So, the time will be set for midnight..."

"Suitable Ritual Magic ..." He took a sip of tea, thinking of the Ritual Magic Array transformed from an Alchemy Magic Array in Salazar Slytherin's memory.

He picked up his wand and pressed it against his temple, using Mental Magic to search for related memories. He managed to draw the Ritual Magic Array and marked some points of interest.

"Gemino!" He tapped his wand on the notebook, casting Gemino Curse to create a copy of the page from the Ritual Magic Array.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, take a look at this Ritual Magic Array. Can we use it directly?"

Dumbledore took the pages. "Alright! Let me see..."

The situation was indeed as he had imagined; Wizet was actively seeking a solution.

Perhaps it should be said that the whole process went more smoothly than he had expected, making things much easier for him.

It's likely that Snape kept the weekly private lessons going after the last school year because of this convenience.

While Dumbledore carefully examined the pages, Wizet continued to refine the process of concluding the Curse Order Contract based on her memories and her own understanding of Ritual Magic.

He would also ask Dumbledore from time to time, trying to understand anything he didn't understand, so as to help him better comprehend the Spell Command.

Through these Q&A sessions, he realized that he didn't have a high need for magical items or auxiliary items, and finally decided on the only auxiliary item—a fragment of Basilisk snake.

In the process, he also sorted out the whole sequence of the Spell Command, starting with his encounter with Voldemort in the previous school year, and how he obtained the Spell Command by chance.

Secondly, there was the encounter last night. Touching a fragment of the Basilisk skin triggered the "Wizard Combat Guide," which is why the "Spell Command" were recorded in the "Wizard Combat Guide."

Based on everything he had seen before, he came to his current conclusion: the Basilisk snake fragments are the key condition for recreating the process of the Curse Order Contract.

Having identified this crucial point, Wizet had essentially completed the entire process for concluding Curse Order Contract.

After all, with Salazar Slytherin's experience in raising the Basilisk as a reference, and with Dumbledore providing guidance and answers, accomplishing all of this wasn't too difficult...
