Chapter 222 It’s Sunny

"Don't doubt it, be confident." Seeing Lu Yunkai's weird expression, Grindelwald laughed: "He brought you to see me because he knew that once I saw your ring, I would definitely tell you these things. And this story from my mouth may gain your trust more than this story from his mouth...Are you an undercover sent by Albus to work under him? This is also an old trick he likes to use."

"..."

Lu Yunkai opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's really not surprising." Grindelwald smiled and shook his head, "But don't worry, kid, we are still somewhat tolerant of those who don't explicitly oppose us and have irreconcilable hatred. After all, wizards are rare, and noble wizard blood is even rarer. As long as you don't stand up and challenge him directly like Albus opposed me back then, he won't embarrass you."

At this point, Grindelwald paused slightly.

"And... the more ancient and noble the bloodline is, the more it has paid, and naturally, it hopes to get the dignity and glory it deserves, right? You and him are natural allies!"

"I have to say, your eloquence is really good. I am almost convinced by you." Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly.

"Because what I said is the truth, and the truth always has the most powerful persuasiveness."

"..."

I don't know if it is the truth, but you are really persuasive.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly and didn't say anything else.

What he was thinking about now was what Grindelwald had just said, maybe Voldemort knew that Lu Yunkai and he were not on the same page.

This matter, why does it feel so scary...

"I have said everything I can tell you. If you have anything to ask, you can ask. If not, you can leave."

Grindelwald looked at Lu Yunkai and said nothing, and issued an order to expel him.

"...You don't plan to leave here? We have already cracked all the restrictions outside."

"Leave? Where to?" Grindelwald glanced at Lu Yunkai, "Since I lost to Albus in the duel, I know that my dream can't be realized. So even if I go out, what's the point? Go to the Ministry of Magic? Or let some wizards use me as a tool?"

"Then why are you still telling me so much?"

"Because I'm curious, what I can't do, can that kid do it just now... or, can you two do it together." Grindelwald sighed softly, "So, I'm willing to help him with this little favor."

"You think too much, I'm not interested in wizard supremacy." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Really?" Grindelwald asked with a smile, "Are you interested in power?"

"Not very much."

"Then why do you want to summon the demon?"

"Because I want to remove the blood curse of my girlfriend."

"Did you succeed?"

"...Not yet."

"So, you will summon again, right?"

"..."

"Then as you study magic more and more deeply and understand more and more, you will naturally become more and more curious...and as your power becomes stronger and stronger, there will be some people who will target you and restrict you out of fear, and your power is far greater than theirs, so the question is, will you choose to hide in the sewer like a rat and let them bully you, or even your relatives?"

"..."

"I will wait for you here and see if you can realize the wish that I have not realized one day in the future. If you fail too...I am happy to prepare a room for you in this castle." Grindelwald smiled happily, "You can leave now."

"...Goodbye."

Lu Yunkai silently waved the wand in his hand.

Apparition.

The next moment, Lu Yunkai appeared in his home.

"You're back? It seems that you had a very happy chat with Grindelwald! You talked for so long?"

In the hall, Lu Yunkai saw Nagini who had been waiting here for a long time.

It seems that she left right after Voldemort left...

"Voldemort knew that I was planning to lurk around him?" Lu Yunkai was too lazy to tell Nagini about Grindelwald's affairs, and directly changed the subject.

"Oh, of course he knows! It should be your friend Harry who told him."

"...Harry? Did Riddle read it from Harry's memory? But Harry doesn't know!!"

"Maybe there are some clues that make him guess so? I don't know the details. Anyway, he suddenly began to doubt you, and once asked me what I think of you. I told him that you are a typical Slytherin wizard." Nagini looked as if it was a matter of course, "Maybe you are two-timing, but you don't have the courage to do bad things to Tom."

"...Slytherin's reputation was ruined by people like you." Lu Yunkai was a little speechless.

But it seems that there is no way to refute it. Keeping oneself safe is actually the most recognized way of life in Slytherin College!

"Don't worry, after confirming your identity and background, he has no intention of teaching you a lesson. Otherwise, he would not have taken you to see Grindelwald today. He seems to think you look like Grindelwald."

"I am much more handsome than Grindelwald." Lu Yunkai casually complained.

In fact, he was a little scared because of his guilty conscience.

I have to say that what Grindelwald said to him just now was really convincing! Lu Yunkai was almost convinced by him.

"Well, now that you are back, I should report to Tom." Nagini smiled, "He may have something to ask you in the next two days, I will come to inform you then."

"Okay." Lu Yunkai nodded.

Then he watched Nagini walk into the fireplace, a handful of Floo powder, and disappeared.

"Why do you need Floo powder when you can use Apparition!" Lu Yunkai muttered, but he did not stay in the hall any longer.

He did not return to his room, but walked out of the hall.

The backyard was still warm against the season, and there was no sign of the severe cold at the end of December.

In it, Irene was wearing shorts and a hairband on her head, taking care of the herbs.

Lu Yunkai did not say anything, just squatted beside the herb field and looked at Irene.

After a while, Irene, who was busy working, noticed that Lu Yunkai was squatting there and staring at her.

She was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and then she walked towards Lu Yunkai angrily.

"What are you doing?"

Irene used a cleaning spell on herself with her wand to clean up the sweat, dirt and mud on her body.

"Nothing, just stay here for a while to recover blood." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Just continue to do what you want to do, don't worry about me."

"... Are you sick in the head? I found you staring at me here. If you can do anything else, it would be weird!" Irene glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely, "If you want to think of something weird, go find your Daphne!!"

"... Daphne is not a Muggle."

Lu Yunkai shook his head helplessly.

The smile on his face also looked a little helpless.

"What do you mean?" Irene was stunned.

"Nothing, just... I have to try to calm myself down." Lu Yunkai took a deep breath and stood up from his squatting position, "I have to remind myself that the International Statute of Secrecy is not that bad."

"...What did you do this morning?" Irene also put away her embarrassment and anger and became serious.

Lu Yunkai's words made her heart tighten.

"Voldemort took me to see Grindelwald."

"Are you okay?" Irene was startled when she heard these two names appear at the same time.

"It's okay. I'm just a little confused. I was almost convinced by the two of them." Lu Yunkai sighed, "Just a little, really just a little. I almost felt that the International Statute of Secrecy was a disgusting thing, and wanted to join in to overthrow it."

"... Lu Yunkai!!"

"I know!! Don't be anxious! I'm just trying to calm down!!" Lu Yunkai saw Irene's jumping look and smiled, "That's why I came to see you! If Grindelwald succeeds, then you, sister, will definitely not have the opportunity to learn magic, right? It's even possible that I may not have the opportunity to become my adoptive father's child, and I can't come to England, let alone have much to do with magic..."

"..."

"Not only you, And Hermione. "Lu Yunkai shook his head, "And I won't meet many Muggle-born alumni I met at Hogwarts. And I even suspect that Grindelwald will follow the path of pure-blood like Voldemort to prevent these Muggle-born wizards from forming an alliance against him... Well, in fact, Grindelwald admitted it himself today. He thinks Voldemort is splitting up what he wanted to do in one go. Even when I was watching you work just now, I also thought that if I really follow Grindelwald's path, maybe one day in the future, I will do the same..."

"Will you join their noble cause?" Irene looked at Lu Yunkai very seriously.

"I don't know!!" Lu Yunkai sighed deeply, "That's why I want to calm down. Because what Grindelwald said is really too inspiring..."

"Those are all lies!!"

"I understand the truth." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Just like Chris, she tried to tell me from the first day I came into contact with magic that black magic can bewitch people's hearts and make me fall into the absolute worship of power, and then think that power can solve all problems..."

At this point, Lu Yunkai was silent.

He looked at Irene.

As if waiting for Irene to give him an answer.

But Irene seemed to have no way to give him one.

She could only look at Lu Yunkai helplessly.

If she had Grindelwald's eloquence, how could she have fallen to the point of being the receptionist of a horror journey! She might be a smart witch with good grades, but she is definitely not a wise man who can convince people.

Just like that, it was frozen for a while.

"You continue to do your work. I'll stay alone for a while..." Lu Yunkai squatted down again, "I'll think about it slowly, and I'll find the loopholes in their logic."

"What if you can't find it?"

"...Then I still sincerely suggest you to live abroad!" Lu Yunkai sighed.

"Will hiding abroad be useful? Back then, Grindelwald was rampant in Europe and America, and no one could do anything to him!" Irene smiled, "Escape can't solve the problem. So, if you want to become a dark wizard, I will be the first one who won't let you go."

"..."

Lu Yunkai also smiled.

Actually, if I really became a dark wizard, I wouldn't tell you these things, right?

But since Irene couldn't give herself the answer she wanted, then maybe...

I can ask something else?

For example, the demon god.

...
