Chapter 191 Nothing

Under the spell, Lu Yunkai and Daphne did not fall very fast, and the flickering light of the wands in their hands helped them see the surroundings clearly.

However, the walls of this smooth corridor that tilted downwards did not have any patterns or symbols.

The further down they went, the wider the corridor became, but it also became more gloomy and depressing, causing Daphne, who was following Lu Yunkai, to hold his arm tighter and tighter.

After a while, Lu Yunkai and Daphne finally touched the ground with their feet.

At the end of the corridor was a square stone chamber. It was about thirty meters square and quite spacious. Lu Yunkai and Daphne naturally raised their wands, but they still could not illuminate the entire room.

The huge stone house was empty, without any traces. In the shadows, the walls around, even the roof and the floor, were all clean and tidy. Not to mention the magic circles and magic symbols that Lu Yunkai had expected, even the decorative lines were not visible.

Just like Baron said, there was nothing.

This was wrong.

Lu Yunkai remembered the magic circle carved on the ground outside, and felt more and more weird inside.

He gently patted Daphne's hand, who was hugging his arm, and signaled her to let go.

But Daphne hugged him tighter.

This sense of disharmony made her more panic.

So, Lu Yunkai could only take Daphne with him, and the two of them patrolled the stone house together.

Just like Astoria who came in before them.

"This is just a broken place?" Astoria waved the magic wand in her hand and looked around, seeming to be disappointed, "What's so good about this place? Can it be cursed?"

"What are these wood blocks?"

Lu Yunkai, who was also patrolling with Daphne, finally saw something in a corner.

It was a few pieces of wood that looked dried.

The light of the magic wand shone on it, but there was still no pattern or carving.

Lu Yunkai could even see that these pieces of wood were supposed to be a whole piece, and when put together, they would form a log. It was like a dead tree that had broken apart here.

"Well, there was a clay pot there," Baron explained, "Put it on this piece of wood."

"And you broke the pot?" Astoria continued to complain about her father in silence.

"How is that possible!!" Baron was so angry at his little daughter's contempt that he glared at her fiercely, "I checked it carefully, and the pot was empty, and there was no reaction when I used magic to detect it. It was just that the age was consistent with this relic, and the workmanship was still fine for that era, so it could barely be considered a collection. I thought, since I was here, I might as well take one back as a souvenir, but when I left this cave, the pot suddenly broke without any signs."

At this point, Baron sighed.

"As for when the wooden base broke, I didn't notice it."

"And the curse was triggered? Dad, why weren't you more careful..." Daphne complained to Baron beside him.

"I was very careful! The jar really broke without any signs, and... there really was no trace of magic on it." Baron said this with grievance, "I thought this place had been discovered and emptied by someone else, such as a Muggle, before I arrived!"

"If someone really came first, how could the jar not be taken away?" Daphne asked back.

"...Because this room is really big, maybe the people who came before... couldn't take it?" Baron smiled bitterly and shook his head, "And at that time I had just come into contact with magic archaeology, and I didn't think it was suspicious that there was a thing without any magic fluctuations in such a magical relic, which looked like something made by Muggles, and then I was inexplicably caught."

Silence.

Astoria and Daphne looked at their father helplessly,

while Lu Yunkai stared at the broken pieces of wood.

"Is there a curse on this wood?"

"Didn't I teach you and Daphne the spell to check magic items? Check it yourself!" Baron seemed to want to prove that it was not that he was useless, but that the curse was too cunning, so he said to Lu Yunkai.

"Yunkai! Don't touch it!" Daphne stopped him.

"It's okay. Besides, we came all the way here, isn't it just for this?"

Lu Yunkai smiled at Daphne and waved the magic wand in his hand at the wood.

A detection spell. Sure enough, there was no sign of magic.

Just a few pieces of ordinary wood.

No magic circle, no magic blessing...

Lu Yunkai reached out and picked up a piece of broken wood.

"Don't touch it!!"

Daphne was anxious when she saw Lu Yunkai's action.

"It's okay." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook a substitute doll in his hand.

Then his eyes fell back on the wood.

Almost instinctively, he started the system inquiry.

He was stunned.

"... Yunkai!! Are you okay?"

Seeing Lu Yunkai pick up a piece of broken wood and then stop moving, Daphne screamed and immediately cast a protective spell on Lu Yunkai with the wand in her hand.

"... I'm really fine. I'm really fine." Lu Yunkai came to his senses and smiled awkwardly, then reached out and picked up all the wood chips on the ground.

"What are you going to do with these things! It's unlucky, I'm going to throw them away..."

"We are here to find these things, what else?" Lu Yunkai said nonchalantly, "If we don't take these little things here, what are we doing here?"

"..." Daphne pouted helplessly after hearing what Lu Yunkai said.

"Don't worry! I know what I am doing. This is really not a dangerous thing... I'll go back to Knockturn Alley to ask, maybe I can get something." Lu Yunkai continued to comfort Daphne, and then said to Baron: "It seems that there is nothing else here, let's go."

"Give me the block of wood." Baron stretched out his hand to Lu Yunkai, "I'll take it."

"...No need?"

"If these things are still cursed, don't let them fall on you." Baron smiled, "For Daphne's sake."

"...Even if they fall on you, Daphne can't run away either!" Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at Daphne with a strange expression, "I would rather she be unlucky because of me!"

"What do you mean?" Astoria, who had been watching Lu Yunkai collecting wood blocks without saying a word, interrupted, "Why? Do you want my sister to hate you?"

"How could it be!" Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at Daphne, "If it was because of me...she wouldn't have so many complaints."

"... Humph." Hearing Lu Yunkai say this, Astoria turned her head with a look of disgust, took out the flying broom, and flew straight out of the stone house.

"Leah! Slow down! !" Baron looked at his second daughter and felt a little helpless, so he quickly followed her out.

Only Lu Yunkai and Daphne were left in the stone house.

"If...I was cursed because of you, I admit it." Daphne smiled helplessly, "Well, you're right, it's better to be cursed because of you than because of my dad!"

"Don't worry! It won't happen." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head.

In the past, he didn't understand how rare and amazing the substitute doll in his hand was. However, after the Triwizard Tournament and the baptism and education of Crouch Jr. disguised as Moody this year, Lu Yunkai had a deeper understanding of the protective spell and had more or less understood the mystery.

It can only be said that with Lu Yunkai's current knowledge and research on magic circles, he couldn't make this thing.

Naturally, he was full of confidence in this treasure that was said to be able to resist a magic attack indiscriminately (even including the killing curse that Crouch Jr. said could not be defended).

"Whether it will happen or not, that's all your business." Daphne also took out the flying broom and rode on it, "Shall we go too?"

"Well... I want to test it one last time to see if there is anything else strange here." Lu Yunkai nodded, "You go out first."

"Let's go together..."

"I'm going to use the potion I threw in the forbidden forest before. Even with the fireproof ring..." Lu Yunkai interrupted Daphne and glanced at her fingers, "The impact is still very strong."

"You want to blow up this place?" Daphne heard the mystery.

"This broken place that harmed my girlfriend's family, I can't relieve my hatred if I don't destroy it!" Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, and then took out a bottle of Skyfire Potion from the system.

"...Then I'll wait for you outside." Daphne was really scared of the power of this potion, and quickly left the stone house.

Lu Yunkai smiled and watched Daphne fly away, and then the smile on his face disappeared.

The Skyfire Potion in his hand was also sent back to the system by him.

Blow up this place? How is it possible!!

Lu Yunkai wants to study this place carefully now.

Revealing spell.

Well, nothing.

Cleaning spell.

Still nothing strange.

This is impossible.

Lu Yunkai tried spells one by one, but it was futile again and again.

There must be something here, belonging to those weird big guys...

Giants.

Because the system clearly explained the pieces of wood just picked up in the corner: wood carvings, the creator is a giant.

And the recycling price of the system is as high as the Eye of Horus in the study room of Lu Yunkai's home.

Even compared with these pieces, the price of the wood carving of the Eye of Horus can be regarded as "civilian".

It's just that maybe because Lu Yunkai had too few spells, or maybe this stone house was really like Baron said, there was nothing. After a busy circle, Lu Yunkai still found nothing.

After a long circle, Lu Yunkai admitted a little helplessly that he seemed to find nothing.

Forget it. It seems that I am even less useful than Baron.

With a little self-mockery, Lu Yunkai also flew out on his broom.

When he arrived at the entrance of the huge pit, Baron and his two daughters were waiting here.

"Have you finished?" Baron asked.

"Yeah. This place is strong enough." Lu Yunkai said half-truthfully.

"Well. Let's go." Baron raised the wand in his hand, and with a spell, he closed the entrance of the tunnel again.

"Dad, this is the only place?" Astoria's face was full of disappointment, "Then why did you bring us here? Isn't it enough to just tell my brother-in-law that there is nothing?"

"I said, he has to believe it!" Baron smiled helplessly, "You don't understand."

"Why don't I understand! How could he not believe what you said..."

"When you have a boyfriend, you will understand." Baron interrupted the second daughter and glanced at the eldest daughter.

Daphne was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly.

"What?!" Astoria felt aggrieved that she had been squeezed out.

"If Lu Yunkai doesn't come to this place in person, he will never feel at ease." Baron sighed softly, "Even for Daphne, he will never give up! Otherwise, you think he just did it down there What……"

"..." Daphne glanced at Lu Yunkai and wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.

Lu Yunkai's face turned slightly red.

Actually it's not what your father thought... Well, it's almost the same...

Okay, I guess he was right.

"I will solve the trouble I caused by myself." Balon looked at Lu Yunkai, who had a strange expression with a little regret, and said seriously: "You don't have to take care of this matter... Of course, if you have anything You are welcome to tell me your good ideas and guesses. But rather than searching for solutions all over the world... I still hope you can spend more time with Daphne."

"Ah! Dad! Why do you say such things here!" Daphne shyly complained to Baron.

"If you don't say it here, he won't listen at all." Baron shook his head, "Actually, if it were me, I wouldn't listen, but... I know what you need."

"..." Daphne lowered her head.

"I know it well." Lu Yun nodded with a smile, without making a promise or refusing, "Okay, let's go. It's hard to come to Egypt, why should we visit the Pyramids and Alexandria, right? That's all for these few days. I’m just looking for this crappy place.”

"Okay! Okay!" Astoria heard that she was finally going to play, and she finally became happy again. "To be honest, if I had known that there was nothing in this place, I wouldn't have come."

"Speaking of the pyramids, I know there is a place that Muggles have not discovered. There are mummies, resurrection sacrifices, and scarabs there... Do you want to go and see it?" Balon also managed to cheer up and said with a smile, "In Near there, I found the stone sculpture that is now displayed at home, which is..."

"The one that's the same as the wood carving at my brother-in-law's house?"

"Yeah." Baron smiled and nodded, "Are you interested?"

"Yes!!" Astoria laughed, "Okay, stop talking nonsense! Let's go!!"

With that said, he got on his broom and left in a flash.

"Ouch! Damn girl! Slow down!!" Daphne laughed helplessly, got on the broom and chased after her.

The two men stayed behind, taking a step slower.

The smile on Baron's face faded slightly.

"Did you just discover something?"

"A little bit."

"Oh??" Baron's expression instantly showed concern.

"Do you know where the giants mainly live now?"

"Giant?? This place has something to do with giants?? How is that possible!!"

"I'm just guessing." Of course, Lu Yunkai couldn't say anything like the system's identification will never be wrong, "Did you know?"

"There is one in France, right? They just moved there from Eastern Europe. The earliest giant tribe should be in Bulgaria." Balon thought for a while and replied, "Are you sure this place is related to giants? There is no record of them living in the Middle East. !”

"Of course I'm not sure!" Lu Yun laughed, "Okay, let's go, don't worry them both for a while."

"Yeah." Baron nodded and chased after him on his broom.

Lu Yunkai smiled and also rode on the broom.

Eastern Europe? Bulgaria?

Go back and take a look!
