Apparition Amulet

Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore picked up the thin slice in front of him, about the size of his palm, its entire surface shimmering with a flowing silver luster, with black spots slowly moving across its surface, like a living thing sealed in amber.

The texture of the entire sheet is very special, somewhere between metal and liquid. It lies quietly in the palm of your hand, yet gives you the illusion that it might slip through your fingers at any moment.

"Apparition?" A faint glint flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, his tone filled with undisguised admiration. "To fix Apparition within it using alchemical means, what an ingenious design."

Even without activating the amulet, he could see the secret behind it.

Snape was not surprised by this; the old man in front of him had studied Alchemy with Nicolas Flamel and was among the most accomplished alchemists.

When Lucien handed the amulet to Snape, he also briefly explained its effects and how it worked.

Snape then relayed these words verbatim to Dumbledore.

Apparition Amulet.

It will be automatically triggered when a strong magical energy fluctuation is detected from a powerful Mahoutokoro such as the Avada Kedavra.

As for ordinary magical attacks, a regular amulet is sufficient to handle them.

However, this amulet only activates Apparition; subsequent movement still requires the wizard to control it manually.

If the user does not possess the Apparition, their body will be torn apart by space.

Moreover, because it is triggered instantly, a wizard must be extremely proficient in Apparition to truly control it.

It must at least reach the point where one can frequently use short-range Apparition during intense combat.

In other words, this amulet is something only experts can use.

But Snape didn't see this "limitation" as a flaw; in a duel between masters, it often comes down to just one or two moments.

The amulet's primary function is to prevent enemies from launching sneak attacks with deadly magic like the Avada Kedavra. If it can shield a wizard from an attack at a crucial moment, that's enough.

This was also a custom request he made to Lucien.

In any case, the barrier to using the amulet was not a problem for Snape at all.

The finished product that Lucien presented completely met his expectations.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, guessing that this was most likely Lucien's "tutoring fee" for Snape.

"Severus, thank you for considering the safety of an elderly person."

Snape gave Dumbledore's thanks with a forced smile, but didn't reply.

He knew very well that this "old man" was the only wizard who dared to investigate Voldemort and was truly feared by Voldemort.

If something were to happen to Dumbledore, Voldemort would have no more scruples and could make a comeback without restraint.

Nobody wants to see something like this happen.

Dumbledore's fingers slowly traced the smooth surface of the amulet, creating delicate silver ripples where his fingertips touched, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"Lucien's talent and ingenuity in alchemy are truly astonishing. This amulet is very useful—no matter how powerful a wizard is, it's impossible for them to maintain a high level of vigilance at all times. The significance of using an amulet to avoid deadly danger is self-evident."

In Dumbledore's view, this amulet could be considered a "half-finished product".

There is still room for optimization. If the usage standards can be further lowered, I believe many people will be willing to purchase it.

Whether it's Auror work is extremely risky, or Pure-blood who cherishes their life.

Snape nodded slightly, his voice low:

"Yes, he also has considerable talent in potions. Such a well-rounded genius is rare."

During this time, Lucien asked him several times about potion improvement, but unfortunately, Snape could tell that Lucien wasn't putting much effort into potions, and was only investing in them in stages.

Dumbledore: "Yes. A wizard who possesses extraordinary talent in a certain field will be grateful for Merlin's favor."

"Even Lucien's Patronus are extraordinary. It's hard to imagine that a wizard could have so many Patronus."

There was a moment of silence in the Headmaster's Office.

Snape paused for a few seconds before speaking:

"Who knows? Perhaps the number of Patronus is also a manifestation of talent? For example, it might symbolize that he has many areas of expertise?"
