Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 82 The background of the mansion

"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 Taishi 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 like the next moment I’m going to open my mouth and say “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 collect 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 bought for 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 profitable business.

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 wooden sculpture into the backpack behind him, and then continued to "vacuum cleaner" 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, I'm afraid it's a bit too talkative.

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

But there was such a valuable thing at home, so why did the wizard trade the whole house for a wine bowl? ?

Could it be that this house is a scam? Is someone trying to pull out a trap set by the supplier behind Mrs. Zabini?

It’s not impossible to think so!

Careless! !

"Master, the house elf cannot lie to you. There is really nothing in this house that can spy on you!"

"Why don't I believe it?"

An hour later, in the lobby.

Lu Yunkai sat upright on the chair at the top like a mountain eagle, looking at Xue Li who looked aggrieved in front of him.

"This is a magic contract, I can't break it!!" Xue Li could only argue.

"Then what's going on with this wood carving?"

"...This is just a wooden sculpture! There is no magic on it. Xueli checked it before when she was cleaning up the house." Xueli looked at the one Lu Yunkai put at hand, which was less than 20 centimeters long and was carved with a huge The wooden carving of eyes is really incomprehensible.

"Not any magic? So why did the previous owner of this house keep it?"

Lu Yunkai glanced at the shadow in front of him.

There is no explanation for this thing.

To the system, the items that receive this treatment are usually 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 true form of the fake ring hanging around his neck...

Could this wood carving have a similar origin? ?

"I really don't know about this! This wooden sculpture was in the house before I was born. I haven't heard my mother say anything about it." Xue Li was still aggrieved.

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

"No! No!"

"It's best this way."

Seeing Xue Li finally breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Yunkai stopped forcing it, and just took out a Gringotts note worth 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 had never seen so many Galleons in its life.

"Just take it! I'll give you the money when I'm too lazy." Lu Yunkai didn't mind very much, "When I'm at school, you take care of the house for me."

"Yes, Master." Xue Li nodded quickly.

"Okay, you go down, I'm going to study this wood carving." Lu Yunkai waved to Xue Li.

Xueli's figure disappeared immediately.

Lu Yunkai picked up the wooden sculpture and looked at it carefully.

Looking left and right, I didn't see anything interesting.

The system that he had always regarded as a "consultant" only gave this thing the title of "wood carving" and an estimated value of more than three million gold galleons. But when Lu Yunkai searched in the system using wood carving as the keyword, But they found that the highest selling price was less than one hundred gold galleons.

Lu Yunkai bought one, and just like the system's description of it, the wooden statue seemed to have read Lu Yunkai's thoughts and turned into a replica that looked exactly like the wood carving he had on hand.

And when Lu Yunkai's mind changed, the wooden sculpture turned into a statue exactly like Daphne, so lifelike that its eyes could even follow Lu Yunkai's movements...

Such an amazing thing only costs a hundred gold galleons! !

Lu Yunkai became increasingly confused about the pricing principle of the system.

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

No, we can’t be so confused anymore! Be sure to understand the pricing logic of this system!

Lu Yunkai, who had always dared not delve into any system-related issues out of awe, finally made up his mind secretly.
