Chapter 225 Resurrection Stone
"Oh! This candy is much more delicious than it looks! Try it!"
"...I have something serious to tell you!"
Lu Yunkai took the dirty-looking candy from Daphne's hand, placed it on the table next to her, and then looked at Daphne seriously.
Daphne was a little confused, but she still behaved and spit out the piece of candy she was shouting in her mouth. She sat down like a child who had done something wrong.
"Well...at the beginning of the vacation, I used that magic circle to summon the devil again..."
"Ah!! Lu Yunkai!! I told you! You are not allowed to..."
"Aren't I okay?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Daphne, who was instantly furious, "And it's not because of you this time."
"...Then don't make fun of your body! My health is already not good, and I still expect you to take care of me in the future!" Daphne muttered, still feeling a little unhappy.
"The one I summoned this time is not the one before, so I also asked it about lifting the curse on you." Lu Yunkai continued to talk to himself: "It told me that there is no curse on you. There is a solution, but it may cost a little bit..."
"What price?" Daphne was stunned when she heard Lu Yunkai's words.
Then he instantly entered a state of ecstasy.
"That's it." Lu Yunkai coughed lightly, "Actually, when I summoned the Demon God for the first time, I already knew a method that might be able to solve the curse on you, but it will have some side effects... that is , you may be called my...slave."
"...What do you mean??" When Daphne heard the word slave, her whole face suddenly turned bad.
"It will make it impossible for you to disobey any of my orders. If I ask you to stand, you can't sit down." Lu Yunkai had a serious expression on his face.
"Huh??" Daphne was dumbfounded, "There is also this...but how do you know? Have you already tested it?"
"Remember that big snake that always squatted outside my yard before? I did an experiment with it... Well, this is the result." Lu Yunkai nodded, "So this time when I summoned the demon for other reasons , I asked about it by the way, and it told me that this is an additional effect of lifting the curse, and it cannot be removed from the method of lifting the curse..."
Lu Yunkai said this very politely.
The original words of the monster who claimed to be Samikina were: "Huh? If it wasn't to make her your slave, why did you put so much effort into helping her remove the spell on her body?"
Having said that, Lu Yunkai felt that there wasn't much of a problem, and it fit the character of a monster very well.
But here’s the problem, this is not the result Lu Yunkai wants! !
"Well... you wouldn't just order me to do weird things, would you?" Daphne thought for a while and shook her head, "And actually even if you don't have this... I will do anything you want me to do for you!" "
"It's not your problem!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "It's Astoria! She also has a curse on her! Do I not care about her? But...can she accept it?"
"..." Daphne was stunned.
Then his expression instantly became extremely weird.
"Look! That's what I'm worried about!" Lu Yunkai pointed at Daphne's face and smiled silently, "That's the problem! Don't talk about her, even your father will definitely not allow such side effects, right? ?”
"..." Daphne nodded silently.
This is indeed...
"Of course, besides this, there are two other solutions." Lu Yunkai saw that Daphne accepted the dilemma he said, and continued, "One is that I give you this ring passed down by my family... That's right. Can solve this curse."
With that said, Lu Yunkai took out the ring he had forged.
"But there is only one ring. Your sister's curse still cannot be solved."
What Lu Yunkai said was not the truth.
What he asked Samikina was another question: If I have two contract mark rings, can I give them to two people at the same time so that they can both break the curse.
The answer is no.
"Because the contract is the only inheritance, losing the contract is equivalent to losing life." The devil said.
In other words, even if Lu Yunkai now has the money to buy two rings from the system and give them to Daphne and Astoria, only one of them can lift the curse.
As for who it is...it depends on luck.
This demon even reminded Lu Yunkai with a "conscientiousness" that as the current holder of the contract, the moment he transfers the contract, the effect of the contract will explode on him...
That is to say, the previous summons that only drained his life force will come to him to ask for his life back with interest...
One life may not be enough.
But Lu Yunkai didn't tell Daphne about this because it was unnecessary.
Daphne shook her head decisively when she heard that only her own problems could be solved, not her sister's.
Just like Lu Yunkai thought.
"Then it's better not to do it. Originally, that girl was very wronged because of our matter. If my problem is solved but hers is not solved... I don't know how to face her in the future."
"Then there is one last solution, which is the one that relies the most on luck." Lu Yunkai had guessed this result long ago, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Take a chance."
"How do you take a chance?" Daphne asked curiously.
"When I summoned this demon this time, I asked it carefully how many demons could be summoned... It told me there were sixty or seventy."
"Then what?"
"Then? Your curse was cast by one of these sixty or seventy demons. As long as I can summon it out and ask it to remove it, it can be removed."
"...But you can't be sure that it is it that is summoned?" Daphne instantly understood what Lu Yunkai meant by taking a chance.
"Well, I asked Hermione to help me calculate it." Lu Yunkai nodded, "I have to summon the demon about fifty times, and there will be a 50% chance that I can summon the one that can help you remove it..."
"Forget it." Daphne's face suddenly became ugly.
Fifty times? And only half? ?
This is killing me! !
"It's not a matter of you saying forget it." Lu Yunkai didn't take Daphne's refusal very seriously, "I want to inform you today, not to ask for your opinion."
"... Lu Yunkai!! Don't joke with your life!! Forget that you did it during the summer vacation before..." Daphne was anxious.
"It doesn't matter! Once a month, each time is about... Well, this time I rested for less than three days, it's okay." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "That's twelve times a year, just five or six years..."
"You don't want to live anymore? No!! I absolutely won't allow you to do this!! You will really die!!" Daphne shook her head so exaggeratedly!
"But there is no other way!" Lu Yunkai spread his hands, "I want to give you this ring, which can help you get rid of the curse, but I will still lose my life... not to mention the magic circle. Do you trust your sister to listen to me?"
"There is nothing to worry about..."
"Forget it." Lu Yunkai waved his hands, "Anyway, your father is still looking for other solutions, so I'll just do this for now. I'll try every month. If I can summon the one who cast the curse on you, the problem will be solved. If I can't summon it, I'll just think of it as learning something, and it's not a loss..."
"Not a loss? You have to rest for a long time every time! Even if you don't feel uncomfortable, I feel bad, okay!" Daphne glared at Lu Yunkai angrily.
"It's really worth it!" Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "By the way, this is the second thing I want to tell you."
"Why do you have so many things to tell me?" Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai's face that was stern again, and felt more and more uncomfortable, "I'm so annoyed! Are you trying to tell me that I missed a lot of things during this holiday? I wouldn't have gone to South America for Christmas if I had known!"
"...This." Lu Yunkai took out a stone from the space bag, "I originally wanted to get rid of this stone, but then I thought, maybe... you would want to use it."
"What is this?" Looking at the black stone that was only the size of a little fingernail, Daphne's irritability became more and more difficult to suppress, "Why are you becoming more and more mysterious?"
"Do you... want to see your mother?"
"I'm almost tired of seeing you in South America these days!"
"I'm talking about your mother! Your biological mother..."
"..."Daphne, who was on the verge of exploding, froze instantly.
"This stone... is a gift from the monster I summoned this time." Lu Yunkai handed the stone to Daphne, "I thought it was useless, but... it seems to be really useful."
"What kind of stone is this!" Daphne's expression was so distorted because of Lu Yunkai's words, but looking at Lu Yunkai's serious expression, she knew that he was definitely not joking.
"Have you... heard of the Deathly Hallows?"
"Of course! Who hasn't seen it when they were young... You tell me, this is the Resurrection Stone???"
Daphne has already reacted.
She jumped up from the stool.
"Holding this stone in your hand, you are equivalent to learning the top-level Resurrection and Conjuring spells, and you can talk to the dead." Lu Yunkai put the stone on the table between the two of them seriously, "But that person will not really come back to life. So I think it's more appropriate to call it the Resurrection Stone than the Resurrection Stone."
"..." Daphne stood and looked at the stone on the table and was stunned.
"So... do you want to meet your mother?"
Lu Yunkai asked tentatively.
"...Is it okay?"
Daphne looked up at Lu Yunkai.
Her eyes were red.
There was a little tremor in her voice.
"It's okay, I'll stay with you."
Lu Yunkai smiled and came to Daphne, put his arm around her shoulders, and put the resurrection stone on the table into her hand.
"How do you use this?"
"Take it in your hand and think of the person you want to see."
"But...I haven't seen my mother!"
"I haven't seen Jesse either! I also summoned her for Chris."
"Chris...the previous owner?"
"Yeah. It talked to that person for a long time, but it wouldn't let me listen." Lu Yunkai nodded, "It was then that I realized that this resurrection stone couldn't revive people at all."
"...I understand."
Daphne nodded and closed her eyes.
After a while, a translucent shadow of a woman appeared.
She looked to be less than 30 years old, very young.
Lu Yunkai knew immediately that this must be Daphne's mother.
She looked almost exactly like Daphne.
