Chapter 80

"Why are you crying?? No, who are you?"

"My name is Xueli... Ah! Can you really force me to answer? Are you really the owner of the house?"

"...Are you a house-elf??"

When Lu Yunkai heard the strange-looking creature's words, he immediately understood what it was.

Although Lu Yunkai knew about the existence of house elves as early as last year, this was the first time he had seen this magical creature that was said to be absolutely inviolable to its master.

In Malfoy's mouth, they are "a lowly and dirty magical race", but in Lu Yunkai's view, the big-eyed creature who was aggrieved and wiping tears in front of him has an indescribably cute feeling.

"Stop crying." Lu Yunkai tried to order the house elf named Xueli.

Sure enough, it couldn't cry anymore.

He could only look at Lu Yunkai helplessly.

"Are you the house elf of this house?" Lu Yunkai asked.

"Yes."

"Why would there be a house-elf in this house?"

"Shirley's great-grandmother was a house-elf of the Shafik family, and Shirley's grandmother was also..."

"The previous owner here was named Shafik?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Xueli's thought of counting down generations.

"House-elfs can't talk about their masters."

"I am your master now!! Tell me!" Lu Yunkai was amused.

I have a little more appreciation for this house elf named Shirley.

"...Yes." Xueli obviously still didn't want to say it, but she couldn't go against Lu Yunkai's intention.

The aggrieved big eyes made Lu Yunkai embarrassed to force them.

"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore." Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a little guilty inside, and waved his hand, "The former owner of this house traded it for a wine bowl with me, so now this house is mine. If you If you want to stay, you can stay, if you don't want to... By the way, I remember someone who said that it seems to give you something to cancel the contract of the house elf..."

"No!!! The new owner, please don't drive me away!!"

"Okay! Okay! Don't cry!!" Lu Yunkai was startled by its sudden loud voice.

"Master, do you want something to eat? I'll go and prepare it for you right away." Xueli seemed frightened because Lu Yunkai wanted to drive her away, and she was anxious to show her worth immediately.

"No...well, that's fine." Lu Yunkai thought for a while and nodded.

Just give this house elf a chance to perform!
"Yes."

In response to Lu Yunkai's call, Xueli disappeared as if she had suddenly appeared.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback again.

Then suddenly Shirley appeared again.

"Master, if you have any requirements for the room, you can leave it to me to take care of it, and you don't need to do it yourself."

"Let me do it myself! Aren't you going to cook?"

"It's ready! Do you want to go to the restaurant now?"

"……So fast?"

"This is the magic of our house elves, but it is also because there is really not much food to eat at home..."

"If I give you Gallon, can you buy food and drink by yourself?" Lu Yunkai looked at Xueli who was shy, and then realized that this house elf with a big head and big eyes was actually a house elf. Skinny, just remembered that the previous owner of it and this house sold them just for an endless wine bowl.

Come to think of it, this family should have been out of food for a long time.

Alcohol is really harmful! !

"Yes... Wow!! So many Galleons??"

As soon as Xueli's answer came out, Lu Yunkai took out [-] Galleons of cash from his bag, and piled it up in front of him into a hill.

"You take it. I see that the yard outside the house and many things in the house are in disrepair for a long time. You must spend a lot of money to maintain it. If it is not enough, come and tell me." Lu Yunkai replied calmly.

"Okay, master!!" Xueli nodded with joy.

Then the huge pile of Galleons in front of it disappeared.

"Although I'm not short of money, don't spend money behind my back, understand?" Lu Yunkai warned.

"Master, don't worry! Since my great-grandmother, we are the best house elves..."

"Well, I'm going to eat first." Lu Yunkai once again interrupted Xueli's idea of ​​showing off her family tree.

After eating a simple dinner in the huge dining room, Lu Yunkai realized that this home might not be very suitable for living now.

There are too many things missing.

It's a little unrealistic to expect a house elf to put these things together quickly, and after Lu Yunkai himself was interrupted to tidy up his bedroom, he also lost interest in this matter.

Hence, he decided to leave the tidying up of the house to Xueli, who wanted to show his loyalty to the new owner. After eating, he took a handful of Floo powder and returned to the dilapidated house in London by the fireplace at home. Cauldron Bar.

The bar is still lively, and the reception after dinner is still going on.Those lonely wizards without families can't seem to find a better place to send their loneliness than the Leaky Cauldron at a time like Christmas.

Lu Yunkai took a look at Tom, who was already drunk and blushing, arguing with the guests whether it was more important to be a hitter or a seeker, and went back to his room to sleep.

After waking up, the next morning, when Lu Yunkai came to the lobby of the bar again, there were still traces of the previous night's revelry everywhere.

And the boss Tom was dragging his obviously tired body, wiping the glass with a cloth behind the bar.

"Are you up?"

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai sat in front of the bar, "Is there anything to eat?"

"There are only some snacks and bread left over from last night." Tom waved his wand while speaking, and some seemingly unappetizing breakfast appeared in front of Lu Yunkai.

But compared to what I ate at home last night, it was considered rich.

Lu Yunkai didn't pick too much, picked up a scone casually, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.

"You're here to ask me about Chris, right?" Tom continued to pick up the rag and wine glass and wipe them off, saying casually.

"……Um."

In fact, Lu Yunkai really wasn't.

Yesterday he just came up with an excuse to perfuse Daphne, and he asked Tom casually when he entered the bar.Maybe Tom has known Chris for many years, but now Lu Yunkai doesn't want to hear what Chris was like back then...

It felt so much like a memorial service where family and friends sit together after someone dies.

Chris is alive again! !
Therefore, he rejected it from the bottom of his heart.

But Tom was so active, and Lu Yunkai was really embarrassed to lose face.

"Is Chris really dead? It shouldn't be that easy to die, right?"

Tom casually said a word, which made Lu Yunkai, who was still very uncomfortable, instantly refreshed.

Now even at Hogwarts, no one except Daphne knows that Chrissy is alive (well, he certainly doesn't know that Firenze has told Dumbledore about it), Tom has a lot of information in this sentence .

"Not dead. But it's almost dead."

"Could it be that its possessed soul is gone again? Who else used the Death Curse on it??" Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Tom was taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Lu Yunkai.

This was the first time that Lu Yunkai saw such a serious expression on this bald man who didn't know whether it was because he liked to bow and bend, or because he naturally kept bowing and bending.

"Again??" But what Lu Yunkai cared about was this word.

"Chris was used by a black wizard to kill him. Boss Jesse was very annoyed by this incident. At that time, he thought that Chris was dead, but he didn't expect that it would come back to life after a month... Well, although the thing that came back to life cannot be regarded as Chris."

"Well, much prettier than Chris." Lu Yunkai remembered the long white lynx and nodded.

"Chris can actually become beautiful, but after it becomes beautiful, many witches will want to touch it, and it is very annoying." Tom said and laughed.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

really.With Chrissy's ugly appearance now, do Hermione and Daphne want to hold her and masturbate her? This will turn into a white long-haired cat...

Chris will definitely have a more bad temper.

"In order to avenge the wizard, Jesse found Oro from the Ministry of Magic at that time, and sent the wizard to Azkaban on the grounds that Chris's spirit was equal to the human soul." Tom continued, "As a result, that The wizard died within a month of entering Azkaban."

"After that, Jesse helped Chris get another spirit?" Lu Yunkai asked curiously.

"Of course not! In that case, Boss Jesse would have to enter Azkaban." Tom laughed, "Once the wizard who used the Imperius Curse on Chris died, Kris recovered the next day. "

"...Huh?? Memory also recovered?"

When Lu Yunkai heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Yeah! It's amazing!" Tom nodded, "Boss Jesse later said that it was probably because the Imperius Curse actually took the wizard's soul from the body and imprisoned it in the wand, and the wizard who used the Imperius Curse After death, the soul imprisoned by him escaped from the wand, the wizard who lost his soul would die, but as long as the soul-eating lynx is still alive, the soul will return to it..."

"So, as long as I kill the monster that attacked Chris, Chris can also recover?"

There was a tremor in Lu Yunkai's voice.

Kris can recover! !What are you waiting for! !He has to do it!
"Are you sure what monster attacked Chris?"

Suddenly, another voice sounded from the bar.

A wizard that Lu Yunkai was familiar with appeared at the back door of the bar, wandered to the bar and sat down.

It was the old man who was sold by Chris for a thousand gold Galleons for a crystal ball last year.

"Old Eli, why are you so early today?" Tom greeted the old man with a smile, and skillfully poured a glass of beer and placed it by the counter.

"I heard that Chris died, and I'm still curious about what could kill that guy." The old man whom Tom called Eli sat down beside Lu Yunkai with a smile, "From what you said, it was obviously Someone used the Imperius Curse!"

"It should have been attacked by a monster." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "It's not a wizard."

"How are you sure?" Tom asked.

"That's what the centaur in the Forbidden Forest say."

"Oh, that should be it. Centaurs are notoriously disdainful of lying." Tom nodded, "And they understand nature best."

"But apart from the soul-eating lynx, I have never heard of any creature that can directly attack the soul!" Eli disagreed, "If there is such a creature, it has long been extinct by the Ministry of Magic."

"Then I don't know. Maybe I can ask Isabella?" Tom shook his head, "It's normal that you don't know."

"With a boss who talks like you, this bar might be doomed." Eli glared at Tom.

"Then you settle the drink money you owe me, and I may not go out of business." Tom retorted.

"...The Leaky Cauldron can't be closed, I can't find such a good place anymore." Eli changed the subject instantly.

"That... I'm sorry." Lu Yunkai watched the two start chatting, so he had to interrupt, "Who is that Isabella you are talking about?"

"It's the owner of the Magic Zoo in the alley over there!" Eli replied with a smile, "There is no one in England who knows more about animals than her."

"Don't worry, she didn't go back until early this morning. It would be nice if she could open the door in the afternoon." Seeing that Lu Yunkai stood up and was about to leave, Tom persuaded him.

"……Um."

Lu Yunkai nodded calmly.

It's just that in his heart, he was already eagerly looking forward to the afternoon...
