Chapter 223 Mountain Rain

"Meow, are you okay?"

"... Why are you back?"

"I've finished my work, why am I not back yet?" Chris glanced at the parchment on the bedside table with her saliva on it, and then looked at Lu Yunkai, "It's already one o'clock in the afternoon, why haven't you gotten up yet? And you look sick, did you summon that monster again?"

"It's already one o'clock?"

Lu Yunkai didn't answer Chris's words, but looked at the time.

Really.

He yawned, pulled Chris off his chest, and sat up.

"Where's Daphne? I don't think she's home..." Chris asked worriedly, "Did you use that magic circle on her..."

"Can you think of something good with your little brain!!" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris fiercely, "She went to South America for Christmas with her father."

"Oh!!" Chris seemed to understand the reason for Lu Yunkai's depressed look at once, "You scared me, I thought Daphne had an accident..."

"Crow's mouth!!" Lu Yunkai gently reached out and knocked on the cat's head.

Then he stood up from the bed.

But he didn't stand too steadily and swayed.

"Meow?? What's wrong with your body? Did you really summon that monster again??" Lu Yunkai's little action finally did not escape the cat's eyes, and it became serious again.

"Well. Don't worry, this time only used ordinary sacrificial blood, so... it's okay."

Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand and stretched lazily.

"Meow!! Didn't I tell you before? Those monsters are not good things, don't learn those things from them..."

"Compared to the person I saw the day before yesterday, the monster I summoned yesterday is really nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "No more, I tell you, the monster I summoned yesterday was not the previous one but another one..."

"Who did you see the day before yesterday?" Chris looked at Lu Yunkai who was eager to change the subject, as if he had let something slip, and instinctively became alert.

"... Do you really want to know?"

"Meow!!"

"Grindelwald."

"...Meow? You were not convinced by him to do some wizard supremacy, right?" Chris immediately grasped the key to the problem.

"Grindelwald is indeed very charming, and what he said makes people feel willing to believe." Lu Yunkai smiled, "But after I came back, I watched Sister Irene for an hour, and I felt that it didn't seem to be the case."

"...Meow, I must tell Daphne about this." Chris saw Lu Yunkai say this, and felt a little relieved, and complained about him fiercely.

"Then yesterday I wanted to summon the demon god from before and ask it whether magic was taught to humans by these monsters to help humans resist the rule of the giants..."

"Meow! Wait a minute! What kind of strange story is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

"It was the story Grindelwald told me!" Lu Yunkai nodded, "Then the demon god who looked like a horse that I summoned yesterday told me that it was indeed like this."

"Meow? Such a funny story, do you believe it?"

"I don't intend to believe it! But the monster named Samkina said that it is good at resurrection and spirit summoning spells. Seeing that I am not interested in learning its magic, it gave me a small thing."

"Meow? Where is it?"

"Here." Lu Yunkai flipped his hand, and a small black stone appeared in his hand.

Except for some faint lines on it, like a triangular eye, it looks ordinary and nothing special.

"What else can this broken stone be..."

"I can sell it to the system." Lu Yunkai interrupted Chris, "This thing can be sold for 500 million."

"Meow?? Then you are rich... Wait a minute, meow, why is this thing so expensive in the system?" Chris also came back to her senses.

"Because the system recognizes it as the Resurrection Stone."

Quiet.

"Don't think about it! I tell you, I have a use for this thing." Lu Yunkai glared at Chris, who was looking at the stone with shining eyes, and picked up the parchment on the bedside table. "Okay, let me see the map you stole."

"I solemnly declare that I have done nothing good."

The wand pointed at the parchment.

However...

"Is this thing unusable outside Hogwarts?"

Chris looked at the parchment in Lu Yunkai's hand and saw that there was no change, and was a little surprised.

"Could it be that you stole the wrong thing?"

"Meow!! I'm not really a cat! How could I make such a mistake!!" Chris angrily gave Lu Yunkai a claw.

"It doesn't matter. Let's test it after we get back to school." Lu Yunkai originally used this parchment as a topic to divert Chris's attention from Grindelwald and the demon. Since it worked, he threw the parchment into the space bag without caring.

"Meow, don't you plan to return this map to Harry?" Seeing Lu Yunkai's look as if he was going to embezzle the map, he was a little surprised.

"Why give it to him?" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "This time, it was fortunate that Umbridge was not in an activated state when she confiscated the map. What about next time? Think about it, if Umbridge had such a map in her hand... Hogwarts would be completely unbearable, okay!!"

"Meow, that's true. Harry is really not very reliable." Chris nodded.

"Well, speaking of this, Voldemort guessed from Harry that I was lurking under his command."

"Meow????"

"...Did your tail explode so thick all of a sudden? My goodness, it's even bigger than the feather duster used by Shirley!" Lu Yunkai laughed as he watched Chris, who had instantly transformed from a cat into a bear.

"Meow! You can still laugh!!"

"If I couldn't laugh, I would have died at Voldemort's hands long ago." Lu Yunkai put away his smile, "Voldemort decided to give me a chance, so he let me meet Grindelwald, and wanted to use Grindelwald to convince me."

"Meow? Why would Voldemort think that Grindelwald...wait a minute, they are not the same thing, right?" Chris felt that her brain was a mess.

"This...I'll tell you slowly." Lu Yunkai laughed, "Anyway, I have nothing to do these two days."

"...Okay." Although Chris had a suspicious look on her face, she still nodded.

…

After a brilliant start, Lu Yunkai's Christmas vacation returned to normal at the speed of light.

After Chris, who stayed in Hogwarts during the holiday to steal some maps, returned to him and strictly controlled Lu Yunkai's behavior.

Chris did not allow him to do anything like summoning demons.

"Meow, even curiosity is not allowed! Curiosity can kill cats, let alone people!!"

Chris stopped Lu Yunkai's statement, and he could not find any way to refute it for a while.

As for Voldemort, after taking Lu Yunkai to Europe for a day trip that day, he did not look for him again.

It seems that Tom also knows that Lu Yunkai needs some time to digest and make a choice after receiving such a large amount of information in one day. He did not urge Lu Yunkai.

In this regard, Voldemort is still very confident in his own ideas.

The more powerful the wizard, the less willing he is to be bullied by a group of mediocre people. Whether these mediocre people are wizards themselves or Muggles...

This is human nature.

To be honest, if it weren't for Chris and Irene, and Daphne who was dragged to the other side of the Atlantic by her father but still kept in touch with Lu Yunkai, and Hermione who sent him messages from time to time to discuss the questions in the OWLS exam reference materials, and even Luna who gave him a book that day... he might really think so.

But for Lu Yunkai now, for some illusory things, Lu Yunkai had to exclude Irene and Hermione from his circle of friends...

It's a loss.

Apart from anything else, these two Muggle-born witches, one can help Lu Yunkai make money, and the other can help him get good grades in OWLS (if Hermione didn't always remind Lu Yunkai, he would really forget that there was this exam this year, let alone review), they are both people who can really help him.

What's wrong with being born a Muggle? They have a large base and are more likely to produce talents! !

With this idea, Lu Yunkai naturally won't stand on the side of those two dark wizards.

Therefore, Voldemort's expectations were ultimately dashed.

Of course, Lu Yunkai would not tell him.

Seeing that Voldemort had recovered, Lu Yunkai did not dare to be too blatant in front of him and behind his back, so he stayed at home and reviewed the OWLS preparation materials. It was good.

But this good day did not last too long.

After all, this Christmas holiday was not long.

Soon, the holiday came to an end.

After staying at home for ten days, Lu Yunkai was almost ready to return to Hogwarts.

At this time, Voldemort, who had been busy for a while, seemed to have finally remembered his "extra-curricular Death Eater".

But Lu Yunkai would rather he didn't remember himself.

...

"I'm sorry, this, I really can't do it."

Lu Yunkai shook his head and seriously refused Voldemort in front of him.

"Don't say you can't do it in front of the master!!"

Bellatrix on the side reminded Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai glanced at the crazy woman and ignored her.

"When I designed this communication mirror system, I never thought that the mirrors could be monitored directly. The thing now placed in the communication mirror store is just equivalent to a retrieval system that allows one mirror to find another." Lu Yunkai explained to Voldemort.

Hmm. Ten days later, Voldemort remembered to ask Nagini to call him over again, and what she said was a headache for him.

Voldemort wanted Lu Yunkai to help him monitor what those people who used the communication mirror were saying...

"Then how did you post those advertisements in those ordinary mirrors?"

"Oh, that! It's just a message. I just set the number that can send messages to be displayed at the bottom of the mirror." Lu Yunkai patiently explained to Lucius who asked questions, "But I can only send messages to you, and I can't know if you have read it, let alone read your messages with others."

"... Hmm." Lucius thought about it and accepted Lu Yunkai's explanation.

But, he accepted it, which doesn't mean that the owner accepted it.

Voldemort was holding a communication mirror in his hand, looking at it. Nagini stood beside him, her expression calm.

He looked at the mirror for a long time.

"Are the communications between those mirrors directly connected by magic circles?" Voldemort finally spoke, "This design... is stupid."

Speaking of this, Voldemort pointed his wand at a mirror hanging in the living room of Malfoy Manor. The wand emitted a pink-blue light and hit the mirror.

After that, his wand pointed at another mirror.

"If you do this, it will be easy for people to copy you!" Voldemort put down his wand and looked at a mirror. In it, he saw the scene in another mirror...

"That's you. How many people can do it so easily?" Lu Yunkai flattered him without any dissatisfaction, "But the greatest use of this mirror is not to communicate with a wizard, but to communicate with any wizard."

"What's the difference?" Voldemort pointed his wand at the ordinary version of the communication mirror worth 500 Galleons in front of him.

Picking up the mirror on the table, his face, which looked quite scary because he had no nose, appeared on the two mirrors on the wall.

"Add another one?" Lu Yunkai smiled and took out a mirror from the space bag and handed it to Voldemort.

Voldemort was stunned.

"It should be able to fight against the two mirrors on the wall!" Lu Yunkai reminded with a smile.

Silence.

For a long time.

"Well, you are smarter than I thought."

Voldemort nodded.

He finally confirmed that Lu Yunkai's solution was not worse than what he could think of.

"Thank you for your compliment." Lu Yunkai smiled, "So, now... I don't need to explain it anymore, right?"

"No." Voldemort shook his head, "Go get me some mirrors."

"Ah?" Lu Yunkai was stunned.

What do you mean?

"This thing is very useful." Voldemort continued, "In the future, we can also use this to communicate with each other."

"... Then you were testing me just now?" Lu Yunkai understood instantly.

"Of course, if this thing is not safe, it can't be used!" Nagini, who was standing next to Voldemort, quickly interrupted.

It was also a reminder to Lu Yunkai that he couldn't talk to Voldemort like this. He was very sensitive to such things.

"But the problem is that I don't care about the specific operation of the communication mirror shop now. If I make a batch of mirrors that can be used, my partners will definitely know about it, and then it will become noticeable... There is no need!!" Lu Yunkai glanced at Lucius.

"I'll take care of it!" Lucius immediately understood that Lu Yunkai was giving him a chance to show off, "I'll go directly to the communication mirror shop to buy the mirrors I need."

"Well, this is the best." Lu Yunkai expressed his opinion before Voldemort did, "The Ministry of Magic has been keeping an eye on this communication mirror. If they find some loopholes and intervene, it will be bad."

"Okay." Voldemort glanced at Lucius, then at Lu Yunkai, "Then you go down and rest first."

"... I'll go home first? I should go back to Hogwarts tomorrow."

"I have something to do in the evening." Nagini interrupted quickly.

"... Oh."

Lu Yunkai nodded.

Something?

What could it be...
