Chapter 200 Substitutes
Lu Yunkai thought that with his age and the various recovery potions in the system, within two or three days, he would be able to jump around alive and well.
However he was wrong.
Summoning something from nowhere was far more dangerous than he knew.
He stayed on the bed for more than half a month.
It wasn't until halfway through the summer vacation and August that he could barely get out of bed.
So much so that Irene, who has never been very concerned about Lu Yunkai's private life (mainly because it is inconvenient to care too much), was worried when she saw him appear again.
Not to mention Daphne.
For more than half a month, the worry on her face has not disappeared.
But Lu Yunkai couldn't help it. Seeing Daphne so worried, he wanted to reply quickly, but his body really didn't obey orders.
But this may not be a bad thing, at least after such a toss, Lu Yunkai's idea of "summoning him out from time to time to learn something from it" was completely lost by himself.
It doesn't seem to be very cost-effective.
And during the half-month bedridden period, Lu Yunkai also carefully checked the origin of the thing he summoned.
Most of the things used in this summoning are related to the legendary king, and the story of King Solomon can be found everywhere in the Muggle world.
Especially since it also mentions two names.
When he was able to walk on his own again, he had already figured out what it was that he summoned that afternoon: it was said to be the Summoning Demon God who had signed a contract with King Solomon.
However, this did not help Lu Yunkai to dispel his wariness about the ritual of dispelling the magic.
Lu Yunkai was reluctant to experiment with Daphne.
And as the time came to August, the owl at Hogwarts also reminded Lu Yunkai that he and Daphne were still just students, and there was no need to be too anxious about some things.
And wait.
Find an opportunity to try it on others first, and after confirming that there are no side effects, it would be better to use it to help Daphne lift the curse...
As for the potion science knowledge taught to him by the summoned Demon God called Hualiver, Lu Yunkai planned to refine potions one by one to determine whether they were reliable or not.
Therefore, after getting up from the bed, Lu Yunkai entered into the state of buying materials from the system, processing them himself, and selling them back to the system for "supplementary lessons during summer vacation" and "enriching the product library of the system".
Originally, Lu Yunkai thought that this summer vacation should end in such a peaceful way, but some people would not allow him to be so peaceful.
Just a week before Lu Yunkai ate, slept, made potions, chatted with Daphne in his spare time, and even went fishing on the coast outside his house, the big snake appeared again outside Lu Yunkai's house. In the grass.
Lu Yunkai, who saw the snake, naturally understood that Voldemort was looking for him.
……
Following the big snake, Lu Yunkai returned to the castle where he met Voldemort last summer.
It seems that he has let go of his worries about the hiding place being exposed because of the exposure of Crouch Jr.
Voldemort, who became weak again after a "long journey", actually needed Lu Yunkai to help him get unicorn blood.
After drinking the blood, Voldemort, who somewhat regained some of his physical strength, still wanted to remind Lu Yunkai not to forget to help him resurrect, but Lu Yunkai said that according to his correspondence with Harry, so far, the Ministry of Magic has not He didn't relax the monitoring on Harry's side, he could only wait for the time to mature...
They were all old polite words, and Lu Yunkai was a little impatient with what he said.
As for Voldemort, there was nothing he could do.
If there is anything new, it is that Lu Yunkai told Snape that the Ministry of Magic planned to directly intervene in the management of Hogwarts, edited it, and told Voldemort.
"The Ministry of Magic was not very satisfied with Dumbledore's protection of Harry before, so it is said that in the new school year, someone will be sent into the school in the name of being a teacher, and the school will be comprehensively rectified and managed. It is estimated that strict defense on Harry's side will be at least It went on for two or three years."
Lu Yunkai said this to Voldemort.
Of course he knew that Voldemort obviously couldn't accept staying like this for two or three years.
He just wanted to take down Voldemort's army.Sure enough, Voldemort couldn't sit still when he heard Lu Yunkai say that the Ministry of Magic had directly intervened in Hogwarts, and it was even possible that a dragon would protect Harry Potter.
"I need people, more people."
Voldemort said so.
And this is exactly what Lu Yunkai wanted.
……
"Meow, aren't you too courageous?"
On the balcony of the second floor of the house.Lu Yunkai, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea and looking at the book in his hand, seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song.
And Chris, who was eating a fish on the table, had some appreciation in her tone.
Chris supported Lu Yunkai's "daring and reckless behavior" most of the time, not to mention that this time, the attempt that Lu Yunkai wanted to make sounded very interesting.
"Little Crouch was just imprisoned in Azkaban and sentenced to life imprisonment. This time, he was sentenced to a dementor's kiss because he escaped from prison, and he became a walking dead!" Lu Yun opened his hand. He turned a page of the book in the book, looked at it, and said, "I think, if those Death Eaters stay in Azkaban, something will happen sooner or later, it's better to lure the snake out of the hole... Well, this is from the East." Strategic wisdom, you don't understand."
"Meow, but how do you plan to organize this Azkaban prison break?" Chrissy's tone was curious, "Dementors are trash, but they are not without deterrent power at all. Those who are locked inside The Death Eaters are not effective at fighting..."
"How come!!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "It's not that they don't have fighting power, they just don't have weapons!"
"Yeah! Without a wand, you can't use magic, of course... Meow??"
Chris instantly understood Lu Yunkai's thoughts.
No weapons, send them! !
It's not that Lu Yunkai has no way to send things into Azkaban... Chris himself! !
"Why, would you like to?"
"I don't want to." Chris shook her head, "It's enough for me to go to that poor place of Azkaban once, and I don't want to go there a second time."
"You!" Lu Yun laughed and sighed, he didn't take what Chris said seriously at all.
Can you not go if you don't want to go?Lu Yunkai still doesn't want to have anything to do with Voldemort!But now is not the only subordinate Voldemort can use!In the final analysis, it wasn't because of Chris!
"Then, what if those Death Eaters really managed to escape from prison?" Chris seemed to understand the truth, so she just complained, "That's very dangerous."
"I don't think you don't understand a word called dragons without a leader." Lu Yun gave Chris a blank look, "With Voldemort's current virtue, even if the fear of him is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of that group of Death Eaters, their attitudes are more or less the same. There have been some changes. Little Crouch, in Voldemort's heyday, dare to go to Hogwarts to play Harry's idea on his own initiative?"
"Meow, if I hadn't happened to see him kill old Crouch in the Forbidden Forest, he was hiding well! And he almost succeeded..."
"This is the problem!" Lu Yunkai nodded, "Without a unified command, they will fight on their own. Everyone has their own little calculations, think carefully, and then do their own things. Without the collective wisdom, we are alone No matter how much you think about it, it is still easy to make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, you will be targeted and punished... This is called a group of dragons without a leader, understand?"
"Meow, I don't understand." Chris shook her head, "But... I still don't agree with you helping Voldemort organize people. After all, you are going back to school soon. If these people really come out, will you Not here, you will be very embarrassed then! You were so worried before because you were afraid that someone under Voldemort would not be able to use you!"
"Of course I remember." Lu Yunkai nodded, "So I haven't told Voldemort rashly that I plan to help his men escape from Azkaban! I'm wondering if I can arrange another person to come here before this incident. Go to Voldemort's side, and help me control the situation in my absence."
"Meow, who is it? Lucius Malfoy?" Chris shook the cat's head, "You can't control someone you don't have a handle on, and Voldemort won't believe someone you have a handle on."
"I can't command Lucius either." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I have to think..."
"Meow, I actually have a suggestion."
Chris glanced outside the front yard.
In the grass, the big snake lay there sleeping soundly.
Since the last time Lu Yunkai followed the big snake to find Voldemort, Voldemort arranged for the big snake to follow Lu Yunkai instead of staying by his side.
In name, it can help Lu Yunkai solve some problems.
Actually...
Voldemort himself didn't believe that he didn't come to monitor whether Lu Yunkai tried his best to help him.
"Nagini? Come on, it's Voldemort's pet..."
"Meow, it's not just Voldemort's pet." Chris shook her head, "Have you forgotten, I always feel that it has a human soul in it."
"I always thought you were wrong."
"Maybe! But if you don't try, how will you know!" Chris's eyes sparkled.
"Try? Try what?"
"Meow, if it used to be a person, but turned into what it is now...why?"
"Why else! Bewitched by magic... oh! oh oh oh oh!!!" Lu Yunkai jumped up from the chair directly.
"Meow, kill two birds with one stone!" Seeing Lu Yunkai's surprise reaction, Chris nodded in satisfaction.
"Yeah! Kill two birds with one stone! Well...but wait a minute, if what the demon god taught me really works and helps it break the curse on it, it will naturally be the person Voldemort trusts the most? How can I control it? ?”
"Meow, if you were a person who became an animal because of a certain spell, and then was forced to be someone else's pet for a long time, and finally recovered, would you still be willing to continue to be someone's pet?" Chrissy asked Lu Yunkai , "And if one day Sophie suddenly turned into a human, would you dare to trust it?"
Quiet.
"This is a gamble!" Lu Yunkai muttered.
Yeah, what if Voldemort could be trusted, and Nagini was willing to continue working for Voldemort?
"Then you're not at a loss! Anyway, let that snake do the dangerous thing, so just keep an eye on Harry Potter... I don't think Voldemort will have any objection to this."
"Hmm..." Lu Yunkai rubbed his chin, still seemed a little unsure.
"Even if you take a step back, there is one that helps Daphne detect the existence of the magic circle, don't you need it?" Chris changed her expression.
"... Makes sense!" Lu Yunkai jumped directly from the balcony into the yard.
……
Lu Yunkai jumped over the wall from the yard, and the big snake that was sleeping in the grass woke up almost immediately.
Then quickly swam to his side.
He raised his upper body and looked at Lu Yunkai.
It seemed that he was waiting for Lu Yunkai to say something.
"Can you understand what I said?" Lu Yunkai squatted down so that his eyes could look straight at the big snake, and then asked.
The big snake didn't move.
"...I don't understand." Lu Yunkai sighed, a little disappointed, "Then you stay here and don't move."
Lu Yunkai gave the snake a word, and then drew out his wand.
Orochi watched Lu Yunkai's movements, but didn't respond.
It seems that it understands that Lu Yunkai is not its enemy, so it has no defense against Lu Yunkai's actions.
After pulling out his wand, Lu Yunkai wrote a few ancient runes around the snake, and then called out Xueli, who brought out a fish, a chicken, and a rabbit from the kitchen, and threw them into the snake. circle.
however……
"Don't eat!! This is not food for you!!"
Lu Yunkai was speechless looking at the big snake that immediately opened its mouth to catch it as soon as he threw the living thing in, a little speechless.
Orochi looked up at Lu Yunkai.
It didn't seem to understand why Lu Yunkai yelled at it.
Helpless, Lu Yunkai had no choice but to let Xueli take it, and then throw it in the circle.
But the big snake still couldn't understand Lu Yunkai's words, and insisted that Lu Yunkai might think it was too hard outside and was feeding it...
Repeated five times.
It wasn't until the sixth time when Lu Yunkai threw things in that the big snake, who was full, finally stopped doing anything to those sacrifices.
Seeing that several sacrifices were finally placed alive next to the big snake, Lu Yunkai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay, if the snake's appetite is better, Lu Yunkai will have to arrange for Xueli to buy new ingredients.The stock at home is basically in the belly of the big snake now.
And the big snake, who was full, didn't rush to escape.Seeing that Lu Yunkai placed three more foods around its body, I thought this place was the nest Lu Yunkai had prepared for it, so I tightened my body, took a plate, closed my eyes and began to digest the food.
For Lu Yunkai, this was a rare opportunity.
He bought seven-color crystals from the system as quickly as possible, piled them all around the snake, and then drew a final circle with his magic wand, enclosing all the sacrifices and crystals inside.
The sacrifices are in place, and the magic circle is complete.
The exciting time should come...
however.
Nothing happened.
