Chapter 88: Another Attack

Before he could even fall to the ground, Lu Yunkai cast an armor spell with his wand.

Although he had prepared several protective spells, he could only think of this one when he was attacked.

The spell fell on him.

The fur cloak on Daphne was bought by Lu Yunkai at a high price from the system. It had a built-in protective effect and was much stronger than the spell used by Lu Yunkai, a half-baked wizard apprentice.

But this thing was too expensive. Lu Yunkai also felt that the Soul Devouring Lynx had rubbed his hand with its head last time, so it should not attack him, so he was a little reluctant to get one for himself.

I should have known not to be greedy for these hundreds of thousands of gold galleons!

After the spell came out, he and Daphne fell into the snow.

Although Lu Yunkai was pressing on Daphne, the thick snow was as soft as a mattress, so he was not worried about Daphne getting hurt.

He immediately jumped up, holding up his magic wand, and looked in the direction where the Soul Devouring Lynx had just called.

He was stunned.

Broken cat...really broken?

"Are you injured?" Lu Yunkai looked at the huge scar on the Soul Devouring Lynx. Although it was no longer bleeding, the scar had not yet completely scabbed over. It should have been injured not long ago: "Can I use medicine to treat you?"

As he spoke, Lu Yunkai took out a bottle of powerful healing potion from the system and wanted to get close to the Soul Devouring Lynx.

However, the Soul Devouring Lynx did not allow it.

It did not attack or call, but jumped away from Lu Yunkai and stared at him.

"Don't worry, I have no hostility." Lu Yunkai said as he put away his magic wand.

The scar on the Soul Devouring Lynx was from the back of its neck to its abdomen, which made Lu Yunkai really worried about it.

"Woo~~" The Soul-Eating Lynx shook its head.

Did it understand what he said?

Lu Yunkai suddenly became excited.

"Don't worry, really... well, just drink this medicine."

As Lu Yunkai said this, he put the potion bottle in his hand on the ground. When he was about to retreat, he suddenly remembered that the big cat might not be able to drink the contents of the potion bottle, so he quickly bought another plate from the system and poured the potion into the plate.

After that, he faced the direction of Chris and retreated little by little to Daphne, who had just climbed up from the ground and was patting the snow on her body.

And the Soul-Eating Lynx seemed to really understand what Lu Yunkai said. After he retreated, he walked a few steps to the plate, stretched out his tongue, and licked all the potions in it into his mouth.

Seeing the action of the Soul-Eating Lynx, Lu Yunkai's face turned red with joy.

He can communicate with the Soul-Eating Lynx! !

However, just when Lu Yunkai was thinking about discussing with it that he might need it to join hands to deal with the basilisk, the soul-eating lynx that had drunk the medicine had no intention of staying here for long, and disappeared in a flash.

"The beast has appeared!" Lu Yunkai quickly drew out his wand and used magic.

We haven't talked about the business yet, and you just ran away after eating?

Do you really think you are a free-range cat?

"This magic is deceptive!"

Seeing that there was still no reaction around him, Lu Yunkai looked frustrated.

"...Since Chris is fine, let's go back." Daphne, who was watching Lu Yunkai's emotions from extreme excitement to extreme loss, couldn't bear it anymore, and didn't care about the pain in her chest caused by Lu Yunkai's collision just now, and comforted Lu Yunkai softly.

"It's not all right! The scar on its body..."

"Didn't you give it medicine?"

"That's what you said..."

"My father just wrote me back. He prepared a big bag for the spell to verify the artifacts you asked him about before. He has sent it to my dormitory. Let's go. I'll go back and get it for you to see." Daphne continued to persuade.

"This... okay."

Lu Yunkai also understood that if he wanted to deal with the basilisk, he mainly relied on the roosters he had reserved. Chris was just a backup. If he could use it, he would use it. If he couldn't use it, he couldn't count on it.

Since we have seen it today, let's come again next time and communicate a little bit!

What else can we do? ?

After taking a last look at the place where Chris just appeared, Lu Yunkai followed Daphne back to Hogwarts Castle with some frustration.

However, they hadn't entered the castle gate yet.

"You two! Where have you been!!"

At the castle gate, Professor McGonagall, who looked anxious, angrily scolded the two people who were walking with their heads down.

"Just go out..." Lu Yunkai wanted to make up a date lie with Professor McGonagall, but when he looked up and saw Professor McGonagall's anxious expression, he couldn't continue the lie, "Professor McGonagall, what happened?"

"Another attack happened! You hurry back to the Slytherin lounge and don't go out."

"... Attack??"

Lu Yunkai and Daphne looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"How could it be..."

"Then let's go back first!"

Lu Yunkai quickly interrupted Daphne who almost let something slip, and pulled her all the way back to the Slytherin lounge.

Lu Yunkai and Daphne appeared at the door of the lounge without attracting anyone's attention. At this time, the lounge was very lively. Almost everyone gathered together to discuss another attack not long ago, so that if you want to hear what the people next to you say clearly in the crowd, you have to shout.

Lu Yunkai and Daphne also saw the second-year students talking in the crowd, and hurried over to ask.

"Hey! Are you back from your date?" Malfoy looked at Lu Yunkai and joked.

"What's wrong? Who is it this time?" Lu Yunkai didn't bother to refute and asked about the business.

"It's Justin Finch-Fletchley, a Hufflepuff from Muggle." Malfoy looked gloating, "No matter who did it, it's a good job!"

"What are you talking about! What about Chris?" Daphne, who had just met Chris, expressed her dissatisfaction before Lu Yunkai.

The smile on Malfoy's face froze instantly.

"I think the heir deliberately let the monster attack Lu Yunkai's pet, so that people would think he was not targeting Gryffindor." Daphne's best friend Pansy, who was next to her, also jumped out to speak.

"Yes! That should be the case." Malfoy immediately accepted Pansy's explanation. "Lu Yunkai, you have also made a great contribution to this incident!"

"...Yes. So, is that Finch-Fletchley dead?" Lu Yunkai changed the subject.

What is contribution and sacrifice?

He wants revenge!

"No." Goyle, who was standing aside, seemed to be one of the witnesses of the incident. He took the initiative to stand up and said with a little regret: "He was also petrified. The ghost of Gryffindor, Nick, who was almost headless, was unlucky with him."

"...Ghost?"

"Yes! That ghost was also petrified." Goyle nodded, "floating there, like a translucent statue."

"That rubbish did make some contributions to Hogwarts and provided a pretty good attraction!" Crabbe smiled and continued.

"Not dead..." Daphne heard this answer and secretly glanced at Lu Yunkai.

Now it seems that so far, there has been no fatal attack except Chris in this year's attacks!

Apart from the chickens that died in Hagrid, only Lu Yunkai was the victim!

At this moment, an owl suddenly flew into the Slytherin lounge, and in front of everyone, it dropped a letter in front of Malfoy.

In fact, Lu Yunkai has always been curious about how the Slytherin dormitory and lounge at the bottom of the lake received the owl's letter...

"My dad told me to stay at school first. Dumbledore has been dismissed by the school board." Malfoy, who finished reading the letter as quickly as possible, smiled brighter and brighter, "He was also asked to go to London immediately to explain what happened here."

"...Although I don't like Dumbledore very much, it's not a good idea to let Dumbledore leave at this time, right?" Lu Yunkai was a little worried about the content of Lucius's letter.

Of course, he understood the meaning of Lucius's letter. In addition to telling his beloved son what happened, he also wanted to tell Lu Yunkai through Draco that he had prepared a venue for the notebook's performance and they could watch the show.

However...

Lucius didn't know that Lu Yunkai wanted to throw the notebook into the crater!

"He's useless in school. He didn't stop the attacks. He's just a waste!" Malfoy snorted.

"Things are a bit complicated." Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, who was also worried, and whispered.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We..." Daphne shook her head, "Just stay in the lounge!"

"Yeah."

Lu Yunkai sighed.

Why did Voldemort suddenly attack a Gryffindor again?

Could it be that Voldemort released the basilisk to attack Lu Yunkai, but it didn't find him in the Forbidden Forest, and was accidentally hit by Finch-Fletchley? It's impossible that Voldemort, who thought he was going to be exposed, really started to take risks to implement his Hogwarts Muggle Cleansing Plan?

Why haven't those chickens arrived yet?
