Chapter 54 Gold Ring

Lu Yunkai didn't realize at first why Chris suddenly mentioned King Solomon, and then he remembered the spell he had recited when he was pretending to be a ghost in front of Mrs. Zabini.

While Lu Yunkai was in a daze, Chrissy, who was in a state of confusion, had already made up a life story:

In order to avoid being chased by his queen, the woman with the blood of King Solomon followed the caravan through the desert and the Pamir Plateau to settle in the far east. After a thousand or two thousand years, his descendants became no different from ordinary Easterners, but But he always holds the secret that can open Solomon's treasure house...

Hearing this, Lu Yun frowned, but he also admired this cat's ability to improvise.

Previously, Lu Yunkai only found a secret treasure of Solomon from his lack of knowledge about treasures, and used it to temporarily deceive Mrs. Zabini, but he never thought that he could make up such a story.

Although it was so bloody that Lu Yunkai even blushed, but let alone, it seemed like that was the case. But the problem is that at that time, it was hard to say whether anyone was doing trade between the East and the West, right?

After Lu Yunkai opened the system and scanned the system, he found that it was not just the details of the story that needed to be discussed.

"Let's change it to another one!" Lu Yunkai shook his head at Chris, who was still editing the story about King Solomon's descendants. "I think Solomon's stuff is a bit evil."

"Meow, what are you afraid of? This identity setting is so suitable for your system, just make do with it!" Chris disagreed, "Why, there is no King Solomon in your system?"

"Yes. A summoning scroll, very cheap, seven hundred gold galleons. It is said that it can summon the devil, but the summoning method has been lost." Lu Yunkai said to Chrissy, looking at the shadow in front of him: "There is also a wine glass, possess it The blood of King Solomon, two hundred million gold galleons..."

"Meow?? The scroll that can summon demons only costs 700, and the broken wine glass stained with blood costs 200 million??" Chris was once again confused by the magical pricing logic of the system.

"The key point is that these two things are ordinary and nothing special from the outside." Lu Yunkai nodded, "I can't see any connection with King Solomon at all."

"Just these two?"

"Oh, there's also a gold ring engraved with a five-pointed star icon."

"Meow! That's it!! Why are you hesitating?"

"Can you accept an ordinary gold ring with no special functions for 470 million gold galleons? I can't accept it." Lu Yunkai shook his head seriously.

"Nothing special? Then make one yourself!" Chrissy suddenly became more interested after hearing this, "This is great!"

“Make it yourself??”

"What's wrong! You just have to say that there are some special magics that you can't get, so forget it. It won't do anything to imitate something without the blessing of magic!" Chris nodded, "Then use the ancient potion. After taking a dip, no one can tell whether it is true or false.”

"Ancient potion? How can there be such a thing!" Lu Yun opened the search system, and the prompt was empty.

"Is that an antique potion? Or is it ancient or something? I can't remember the name. I heard that old man in Knockturn Alley talk to Jesse about it once, saying that their line of work used it to imitate antiques. But the cost of the potion It’s very high and uses several rare materials.”

"I can't find any of the potions you mentioned." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Is that old man in Diagon Alley making counterfeit antiques?"

"Most people in Knockturn Alley do this, otherwise how can they make money! But generally they can only deceive laymen. There is a whole set of magic to identify antiques, and their counterfeiting methods cannot pass. I heard him tell Jesse before I remember, if several of the raw materials for making that potion had not disappeared, he would have made a fortune long ago. But this kind of thing is not a problem for you! I can get the potion formula from him for you, and you can do it yourself. With two bottles, making a ring and soaking up the potion, it will definitely be much cheaper than buying it in the system. "

"Well, I can give it a try." Lu Yunkai nodded, he was very interested.

Save hundreds of millions of gold galleons!

…

After getting rid of the evil clerk, Mrs. Zabini personally served as the waiter of Zabini Magic Items Store. She was busy taking care of the store every day, and she no longer had the interest to come to Lu Yunkai to flirt with her.

This made Lu Yunkai feel a lot more relaxed.

However, out of "support" for his partners, Lu Yunkai would still sit outside the cold drink shop for a while, say hello to Mrs. Zabini who was dozing in the shop through the window, and take a look at the products he bought. Wand book.

Then he hid in his room at night and used a carving knife to make fake rings.

It's just that he really doesn't have any talent for engraving. He may not even be able to carve things well on plaster, let alone do this kind of thing on a gold ring.

He only persisted for three days before he gave up.

He spent ten gold galleons to buy the gold from the system. After three days of melting, shaping, and carving operations, and then he officially admitted failure and gave up and sold it back to the system, only two gold galleons were left. The value also shows from one aspect the system’s complaints about Lu Yunkai’s behavior...

Let’s leave things to those who are good at it! Anyway, after getting the dividends from Mrs. Zabini on the necklace, he didn't lack that much money.

The only problem is the pattern on the ring.

He could carve it bit by bit according to the system's phantom, but if he commissioned it to be made, he was not sure that his painting skills could perfectly restore the symbol on the ring.

Although it was just an irregular pentagram with some simple patterns around it...

So he made a risky decision:

"Rent" the gold ring of King Solomon from the system.

That is, buy the ring, print the patterns and carvings on it on paper, and then sell it back.

According to the test conducted by Lu Yunkai with other things, the depreciation rate was very slight and basically acceptable.

However, Chris was not optimistic about Lu Yunkai's attempt.

"Meow! Have you forgotten the surveillance crystal ball that cost you a thousand gold galleons?"

"If the discount is too much, I will think that I spent 400 million gold galleons to buy this ring. Anyway, the remaining balance is given away by the magic stone for free."

Lu Yunkai's mentality was particularly good.

Then, the gold ring appeared in Lu Yunkai's hand before Chris opened his mouth to stop him again.

After buying it, Lu Yunkai decided to play with it.

First, he copied the irregular pentagram pattern on it using both magic and non-magic methods, and then used an extremely accurate scale to measure the weight of the ring, various sizes and other parameters, and then showed off the ring in Diagon Alley.

But no one except himself recognized that there was anything special about this ring.

After playing with it for a whole day, Lu Yunkai woke up the system with a nervous mood and asked about the selling price.

It was okay, one day's "rent" of one thousand gold galleons, which Lu Yunkai said was completely acceptable.

"Meow, it's really a loss."

Chris didn't think so anyway...

With the blueprint, he exchanged two hundred gold galleons for one thousand pounds at Gringotts Bank, put on the mask with the Confusion Charm, and found a jewelry customization shop in London.

A pure gold ring without gemstones is simple for professionals.

Moreover, the data measured by Lu Yunkai were extremely accurate, and there was no requirement for pure hand-made. In just five days, Lu Yunkai got the fake ring that was exactly the same as the one sold for more than 400 million gold galleons, from weight to pattern, and even the scratches on the pattern.

During these days, Chris was not idle.

Just like when it first arrived at Hogwarts, it would run out every night and come back the next morning.

Lu Yunkai did not ask much about this, he believed that Chris had its own methods.

After six days of "operation" from morning till night, it successfully returned to the room at dawn with a scroll in its mouth, on which was written the method of preparing a certain potion in a sloppy handwriting that Lu Yunkai could not understand.

Even because it was too sloppy, the description of the production process was a little unclear.

But this did not bother Lu Yunkai.

He took out the handwritten potion book that Daphne gave him, and compared the formula in it to find similar potions.

In less than two days, he actually found an unnamed potion in it, with the same formula and detailed instructions for the preparation method.

Then he prepared the potion overnight.

Twenty gold galleons of materials, four hours of focused preparation, the finished product appeared in the red crystal potion bottle.

The system prompts that the item is called hourglass potion.

There is no "ancient" word that Chris repeatedly emphasized.

Of course, this is not the key point. What makes Lu Yunkai even more upset is that the system price of this potion is two galleons.

While sighing "I am bullied for being uneducated", Lu Yunkai soaked the ring in the potion.

According to the potion introduction provided by the system, it is estimated that it will take one month to achieve the aging effect of three thousand years.

Just wait!

And time has unknowingly come to the end of July.

The owl that notified Lu Yunkai of the items needed for the next semester flew to the window of his room...
