Chapter 190 Semicircle

"Yunkai! This way!!"

"... Fly slower!!"

"Hurry up and find it so we can go back! I don't want to stay in this broken place any longer!"

"Okay, just bear with it!"

Lu Yunkai sighed and adjusted his hat.

It was five days later, and four days had passed since Lu Yunkai followed Baron and his two daughters to the Sinai Peninsula.

Before leaving England, Baron told Lu Yunkai with three parts of guilt and seven parts of regret that he only remembered that the ruins were on the Sinai Peninsula, but more than ten years had passed, and he was a little worried whether he could still find the place that was abandoned after the excavation.

Lu Yunkai thought that he had only forgotten the specific location, but still had an impression of the approximate direction, but he didn't expect that Baron had forgotten it so thoroughly.

In a wasteland on the Sinai Peninsula, four people were divided into two groups. After flying for four days, they still didn't find any trace of the magic ruins.

If Lu Yunkai hadn't been trying to help them solve the problem, Daphne and Astoria would have jumped up and rebelled against him.

Even though Lu Yunkai showed great patience, Daphne was still about to lose her temper.

Fortunately, after flying for four days, the Sinai Peninsula, which was not particularly large to begin with, had been searched thoroughly.

Even if their luck was extremely bad, they should be able to find it today, or at most tomorrow, right?

With this in mind, Lu Yunkai, sitting on the flying broom, tried to tell Daphne a joke, while his eyes were scanning the ground, looking for the pit described by Baron.

In a wasteland, it looked absolutely impossible to be a natural, regular semicircle at first glance.

Flying, flying.

"Yunkai! Is that what you see?"

Daphne suddenly shouted at Lu Yunkai.

Pointing to a place in the distance.

Lu Yunkai looked in the direction Daphne pointed.

It was a crescent-shaped pit.

Although it is not a semicircle, the round edge of the crescent looks as unnatural as it can be.

Maybe the pit has been almost filled up by the wind and sand of the Sinai Peninsula in the past 20 years?

"Let's go and take a look!" Lu Yunkai controlled the broom and flew towards the pit.

In a few breaths, the two landed on the edge of the pit.

"Is it necessary? Confirm whether we are leaving." Daphne asked Lu Yunkai, who immediately drew out his wand and cast a spell around him after landing.

Lu Yunkai was casting protective spells such as "Safe Guard", "Muggle Shielding" and "Universal Protection".

"Just in case." Lu Yunkai answered casually, and the spell in his hand did not stop.

A circle.

Then, Lu Yunkai pointed the wand in his hand at the pit.

"Ancient relics appear."

This is a magic that Baron taught Lu Yunkai to explore magical relics in the wild.

As a red spell flew out of Lu Yunkai's wand and hit the pit, a faint blue light came out.

"Blue? What era is it?" Daphne's expression was a little excited.

The light showed that this was not a pit dug by Muggles who didn't know magic at all.

Did they find it?

"I have to check it." Although Lu Yunkai was already 70% to 80% sure in his heart, he still carefully took out a notebook from the space bag.

He flipped it for a while.

"The era is closed. 10,000 to 15,000 years ago." Lu Yunkai closed the notebook and took out the magic mirror.

After a while, Baron's face appeared in the mirror.

His face was also full of fatigue.

"Found it?" Baron spoke without any greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Well. Come over to me."

"Okay."

After the call ended, Lu Yunkai cast a spell to protect himself and Daphne from wind and sand, and then started another round of busy work.

Cleaning up wind and sand and accumulated soil.

After a round of spells, dust piled up more than one meter high around the two people, and the pit that was originally only a crescent shape had returned to a perfect semicircle.

It was definitely dug by humans.

At the bottom of the pit, there were some lines that looked like they were left by workers when they were digging.

"This pit can't be dug by humans, right?" Lu Yunkai looked at the traces on the ground and muttered.

"How is it impossible! Such a round semicircle..."

"This place must have been dug out by someone using magic! Look at the side of the semicircle, it's regular, there are no traces at all, but why is the bottom so...ah! Is this a magic circle??"

Lu Yunkai, who has studied magic circles for two years and has assembled and disassembled them himself, looked at the lines "carved" on the stone on the ground, and almost instinctively found those traces on the ground, which seemed familiar.

"Magic circle?" Daphne waved her hand, brushing away the dust in front of her that would never float to her, and asked Lu Yunkai with a little curiosity, "Are you sure?"

"I am a semi-expert in magic circles. In the words of Professor Snape, there are few people in the whole of England who are better than me." Lu Yunkai said this very calmly.

His attention was completely on the traces on the ground.

With one hand holding the stenopad and the other holding a ballpoint pen, he drew the marks on the ground (in fact, when not writing a magic paper, Lu Yunkai himself prefers to use Muggle paper and pen. To be honest, it is better than wizard paper. Moreover, it is not originally from the magic world, and there will be no strange consequences for drawing magic circles).

"Oh." Hearing Lu Yunkai say this, Daphne smiled and stuck out her tongue.

What she likes most is the way Lu Yunkai said such words confidently.

As for whether what Lu Yunkai said is true...

How can it not be! Even if it is not, it is still true!!

Just as Lu Yunkai was carefully tracing the magic circle, two figures appeared in the sky and hovered in the sky.

"Protection pause." Seeing Lu Yunkai busy working, Daphne drew out her wand and canceled the protective spell that Lu Yunkai had just cast.

And at the first moment, the two figures rushed towards them.

"You are too careful!" Baron complained to Lu Yunkai as soon as he landed, "There is no need to cast a protective spell in a place like this."

"Safety first." Daphne answered for Lu Yunkai, "Dad, it's here."

"Yeah." Baron looked at the pit, and a complicated look flashed across his face. "There is a cave below, which was sealed by us with a spell before. I'll go open the cave..."

"Wait a minute!!" Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand to stop Baron.

His expression looked very serious.

"What's wrong?" Baron, who had already drawn his wand, was a little confused.

"Is the hole you sealed in..." Lu Yunkai took the paper in his hand, gestured to the ground, then turned half a circle, gestured again with the paper in his hand, and then pointed to a rock that looked no different from the surrounding area, "There?"

Baron was stunned.

"Why, isn't it?" Lu Yunkai frowned, "I think it should be here..."

As he spoke, Lu Yunkai got on the broom again.

"Wait a minute! Yunkai! Don't go down! What if there's danger..."

"It doesn't matter. Even if I guessed right, this is really a summoning magic circle, but it's already broken and can't summon anything." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head at Daphne, then controlled the broom and flew down to the rock that he thought was okay.

"Shattered into pieces!"

A spell was cast on the stone.

Suddenly, a dark hole appeared in front of Lu Yunkai.

The tunnel led to the ground at an angle, with no end in sight. The rock sidewalls were as smooth as if they had been polished. The brown-red stone seemed to be stained by dried blood, which gave an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Guessed right!! So those marks on the ground are really a summoning magic circle!

Lu Yunkai took a breath.

"How do you know it's here... Are you saying that these marks on the ground are really magic circles?"

Baron also flew to Lu Yunkai's side, and his two daughters followed.

"This is indeed a summoning magic circle, although I don't know what they are summoning." Lu Yunkai nodded, and spoke with more confidence, "Different summoning objects correspond to different symbols. There are too many explanations for this thing. Unless it is the summoner himself, it is unlikely that others can find it."

"Is that so?" Baron's brows were twisted together, as if he was recalling something.

"Have you dug up everything in this cave?" Lu Yunkai looked inside from the entrance of the cave and asked.

"What are you digging for! There is nothing in this cave."

"Are there any murals or symbols carved on the wall?" Lu Yunkai glanced at the paper in his hand again.

"Nothing." Baron smiled bitterly. "If there were any clues, I would have checked it down long ago."

"... Let's go down and take a look... Um, Daphne! You are up there with Astoria..."

"Let's go down together." Daphne interrupted Lu Yunkai's plan and looked at her sister who was also very curious. "This is the curse on me and Astoria."

"But..."

"It can't be worse than it is now." Astoria interrupted Lu Yunkai's words, "Let's go, brother-in-law."

As she said this, she was about to jump into the hole.

"Wait a minute!!"

Lu Yunkai grabbed the impulsive sister-in-law and threw two protection spells and a slow-fall spell on her with the wand in his hand.

"Oh, I forgot. Thank you, brother-in-law!" Astoria came back to her senses and stuck out her tongue at Lu Yunkai, but she was still the first to jump into the tunnel.

"Leah! Wait a minute!!" Baron immediately jumped in.

"This girl!" Daphne sighed softly and glanced at Lu Yunkai.

"Let's go! Don't worry, I will protect you."

Lu Yunkai cast a spell on himself and Daphne and jumped in together.
