Chapter 82: Luxury House

"Master! You are back!!"

Just when Lu Yunkai was shocked by the scene in front of him, Xueli appeared in front of him again.

With some trepidation.

"Yes. The home has been renovated well." Lu Yun was full of things to say and could only nod lightly.

"Xueli saw that the owner was an Oriental, so she redecorated the house according to Oriental standards." Seeing that Lu Yunkai didn't look disgusted, Xueli finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to show off.

"It's just a little too... over the top. I like it a little simpler. Just don't hang the plaque in the house."

Lu Yunkai pointed at the upright and bright plaque hanging in the sky above the screen.

This thing will make him want to write a suicide note...

"Okay, I will make further adjustments." Xueli looked like she was carefully recording the leader's requirements.

"Where's the fireplace at home?" Lu Yunkai then noticed that the fireplace that was originally in the hall was missing.

"Behind the screen. By the way, Master, you haven't named your home yet. In fact, the fireplace is not very convenient to use."

"……Um."

Lu Yunkai nodded.

Why didn't you tell me earlier? As a result, I flew for more than two hours today despite the strong cold wind.

After bypassing the huge screen at the front door and walking into the hall, Lu Yunkai almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

These two rows of chairs... do you think this is the Juyi Hall?

He really couldn't bear to look at this scene, so he had to turn his head and look at the old fireplace behind the screen.

"The fireplace hasn't been replaced?"

"If you change the fireplace, you have to register it with the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, you won't be able to use Floo powder to travel. This kind of thing can only be done by you, the master." Xue Li explained.

"oh."

It turns out that Floo fans are also controlled by the Ministry of Magic! This was the first time Lu Yunkai knew it. No wonder he had to give his family a definite name! This is just for the convenience of management!

But in this case, there is no need to replace the fireplace.

It's just a bus stop anyway.

"Master, what do you plan to rename your home? I can help you change the plaque at the door."

"...Let's call it Lu Mansion." Lu Yunkai thought for a while and said.

On the way back, he originally thought about a lot of names for this house and that castle, and even thought about how to hide information about King Solomon inside. But after seeing the decorations, Lu Yunkai felt that none of them were suitable. .

He had to come up with a simple and crude name before he couldn't help calling this place something like Mingyue Pavilion, Tingyuxuan, Changchun Garden or something like that.

"Okay." Xue Li nodded in agreement.

The upright and bright plaque hanging in the air was suddenly replaced with the name of the Lu family.

"Hang this plaque outside! How can anyone hang this thing at home?" Lu Yunkai couldn't help but corrected Xue Li.

"yes."

In response, the plaque disappeared from the room.

Lu Yun was happy that he finally felt a little better. He turned around and sat down in the master's chair facing the fireplace in the hall.

It’s still awkward. I always feel that the next moment I have to open my mouth and write “The King of Heaven covers the Tiger of the Earth” or write “Qingming Festival” on the left and “Chongyang Festival” on the right... Ahem.

"By the way, Shirley, where are the things I replaced at home?"

"In the basement where I sleep."

"Can you dispose of it? I remember that the Ministry of Magic seems to have restrictions on discarding these things..."

"I used a space spell to store them all there. This is how everything in the house was thrown there before. There is no need to throw them away."

"You'd better take me to see it."

Lu Yunkai was a little surprised to hear that Xue Li actually knew the space spell.

How did such a creature become a vassal of a wizard? I can't understand it!

Even Lu Yunkai doesn't know how to use space spells!

Following Xueli along an inconspicuous secret passage under the stairs, we arrived at the dark basement.

The space was very small, with some linen sheets scattered randomly on the floor, which should be where Xueli slept. Next to it, there was a pile of various furniture and supplies.

"Why are you sleeping on the floor? Why don't you use so many beds and sofas here?" Lu Yunkai looked at this scene and felt more and more ridiculous.

"House elves are not allowed to sleep on their master's things."

"..."

Okay, I think creatures like you are cheap!

Lu Yunkai instantly shifted from feeling sorry for his misfortune to being angry for his inability to fight.

"Have you spent all the money I gave you?"

Lu Yunkai's attention shifted to the large pile of furniture on the other side of the basement. There were many pieces that looked old but were still in good condition. They should have been replaced by Xue Li just now.

They all look good! If thrown into the Muggle world, these things wouldn't even be worth a hundred thousand pounds.

"There are still some left." Xue Li said in a thrifty and thrifty manner, "But there really aren't many left."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai responded casually and walked to the pile of furniture.

He kept pressing his hands on various pieces of furniture, and then the things disappeared.

Like a vacuum cleaner.

Xue Li stood aside and watched Lu Yunkai's strange behavior. Although she was curious about what the master wanted those "rags" for, she didn't dare to say anything.

Originally, Lu Yunkai didn't intend to look at these things in detail. Selling to the system was just to fill the shortfall, so his attention was only on the quotation that appeared in front of him.

Soon, the system's "recharge" exceeded 10,000. For Lu Yunkai, this was already a worthwhile profit.

But when his hand touched a wooden sculpture, he was stunned.

"Where did this wood carving come from?"

"I don't know. It was placed at home when I was born." Shirley glanced at what Lu Yunkai was holding.

"Oh." Lu Yunkai responded casually, threw the wood carving into the backpack behind him, and then continued to "vacuum" with both hands.

The wood carving was not sold because the system prompted that the wood carving could be sold for six figures...

This thing is a bit of a story.

Sure enough, families with house elves are not ordinary families!

But there are such valuable things at home, why would the wizard use the whole house to exchange for a wine bowl? ?

Is there a fraud in this house? Is someone trying to trick the supplier behind Mrs. Zabini?

It's not impossible to think so!

I was careless! !

...

"Master, house elves can't lie to you. There is really nothing in this house that can monitor you!"

"Why don't I believe it?"

An hour later, in the lobby.

Lu Yunkai sat on the armchair at the top with a posture of a mountain sculpture, looking at Xueli who looked aggrieved in front of him.

"This is a magic contract, I can't break it!!" Xueli could only argue like this.

"Then what's the matter with this wood carving?"

"... It's just a wood carving! There is no magic on it. Xueli checked it when she was tidying up the house before." Xueli looked at the wood carving that was less than 20 centimeters long and carved with a huge eye, which Lu Yunkai placed at hand, and she really couldn't understand it.

"No magic? Then why did the previous owner of this house collect it?"

Lu Yunkai glanced at the phantom in front of him.

There was no explanation for this thing.

For the system, things of this treatment are generally very worthless, such as the "souvenir dagger handle" or the notebook made by Voldemort.

But this wood carving can buy tens of millions of Voldemort's notebooks!

Lu Yunkai has seen things that have no magic at all but are still very valuable, such as the real fake ring hanging around his neck now...

Could this wood carving have a similar origin? ?

"I really don't know! This wood carving was in the house before I was born. I haven't heard my mother talk about anything related to it." Xueli was still aggrieved.

"I will believe you. If I find out in the future that there is any magic left in this house that I don't know about..."

"No! No!"

"It's better this way."

Looking at Xueli who finally breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Yunkai didn't force it, but took out a Gringotts bill of 100,000 gold galleons from the space bag and handed it to it.

"Xueli can't use so much money!!" Xueli was shocked when she saw the number on the bill.

It has never seen so many gold galleons in its life.

"Just take it! I'm too lazy to give you money for nothing." Lu Yunkai didn't mind much, "When I'm at school, you take care of the house for me."

"Yes, Master." Xueli nodded quickly.

"Okay, you go down, I want to study this wood carving." Lu Yunkai waved to Xueli.

Xueli's figure disappeared immediately.

Lu Yunkai picked up the wood carving and looked at it carefully.

He looked left and right, but didn't see anything special.

The system that he always regarded as a "consulting object" only gave this thing a name of "wood carving" and an estimated price of more than 3 million gold galleons. However, when Lu Yunkai used wood carving as a keyword to search in the system, he found that the highest selling price was less than 100 gold galleons.

Lu Yunkai bought one, and then just as the system described it, the wooden statue seemed to understand Lu Yunkai's thoughts and became a replica that looked exactly like the wood carving in his hand.

And when Lu Yunkai changed his mind, the wood sculpture turned into a statue exactly like Daphne, lifelike, and even the eyes could follow Lu Yunkai...

Such an amazing thing is only 100 gold galleons!!

Lu Yunkai was more and more confused about the pricing principle of the system.

What are the rules of this thing? Why is it like a joke?

No, I can't be so confused anymore! I must figure out the pricing logic of this system!

Lu Yunkai, who had always been in awe and didn't dare to delve into any system-related issues, finally made up his mind secretly in his heart.

…
