Chapter 125 Many Secret Passages
"This flower can be sold for so much?"
After the guests left, Daphne whispered in Lu Yunkai's ear.
"Things are precious because they are rare. Besides, the price is not important for a gift to someone you like."
"Well, I understand."
Daphne reached out and touched the necklace on her neck.
This necklace can be exchanged for a drop of phoenix tears! That's a life! It must be much more expensive than a rose.
But Daphne suddenly felt a little embarrassed to let Lu Yunkai spend so much money.
"Yunkai! Can you grow a lot of roses?"
"One every six months." Lu Yunkai said according to what he saw in the book.
"That doesn't mean two flowers a year will make 200,000 gold galleons? Isn't this too easy to make money?" Daphne looked envious, "Our family has so many industries, but the income is less than 2 million gold galleons a year!"
"Let's go."
Lu Yunkai felt that he was very satisfied to be able to sell the rose smoothly, and he didn't want to stay here for long.
After all, I just earned 100,000 gold galleons here. Who knows if there will be anyone who will be blinded by the money!
"Don't! Why are you in such a hurry!" Daphne grabbed Lu Yunkai, "Wait a little longer! What if we can sell two more bottles of potion?"
"No need! Just quit while we're ahead..."
"Since we're here, there's nothing else to do today anyway..."
"Didn't you say on the train just now that you wanted to go to the Screaming Shack?" Lu Yunkai smiled speechlessly.
"Someone's coming!!" Daphne whispered in Lu Yunkai's ear.
A witch who was sitting at a table away from Lu Yunkai and their table came over, holding a wine glass, and sat opposite the two of them.
"Do you need anything?" Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne with a smile, and then asked the guest.
"What potions do you have here?" The witch glanced at the potion bottle that didn't even have a label, and then asked Lu Yunkai.
"There are quite a few. What potion do you need?"
"Strong memory potion. Do you have it here?"
"That requires forgetfulness grass." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "Where can I get it for you?"
Yes! But I don't plan to sell it to you.
Lu Yunkai said silently in his heart.
"Is that so..."
The witch stood up and left with a little regret.
"Don't you have forgetfulness grass?"
Seeing the customer leave, Daphne asked Lu Yunkai with a little complaint.
"That's the only one. I used it myself. I don't have the finished product now, but I have a few plants planted in the garden..."
"Then tell her that she will have it in a while!"
"Don't worry! Anyway, she has no other place..."
Before Lu Yunkai finished speaking, a shadow, whooshed, jumped onto Lu Yunkai's shoulder.
So skilled.
"Ah! Chris! How did you get here?"
Seeing Chris licking her paws with her eyes closed on Lu Yunkai's shoulder, looking like she was going to relax after hard work, Daphne was a little surprised.
On weekends in Hogsmeade, pets are not allowed. This is the rule.
"Meow, get rid of her. I have something to tell you." Chris did not answer Daphne, but said to Lu Yunkai.
"By the way, Daphne, are you hungry?" Lu Yunkai asked the girl next to him.
"... If you have something to say, go ahead! I'll help you keep an eye on your things!" Daphne smiled widely.
"It's this cat. It just made some trouble in Honeydukes. I have to pay it back. Otherwise, the students there will recognize it. It will be troublesome to find the school." Daphne's words made Lu Yunkai, who was already a little embarrassed, blush. He could only reluctantly tell an outrageous lie.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Daphne looked at Chris, who seemed to be angry with Lu Yunkai, and asked with a smile.
"That's fine... but you don't have to follow me to embarrass yourself and apologize." Lu Yunkai grabbed Chris from his shoulder, "I'll be back soon."
"Yeah." Daphne gave Lu Yunkai a sweet smile.
Lu Yunkai carried Chris out of the Pig's Head Bar.
The smile on Daphne's face disappeared immediately, she sighed softly, and then slapped herself with her hand.
"Why do I have to put on such an expression when he is hiding something from me!!"
...
"Dead cat, is there anything you can't say in front of Daphne? You are too obvious!!"
"Meow! Do you really need to? Can she really be angry with you?"
"If you have something to say, just say it!!"
Lu Yunkai glared at Chris.
Turning the corner of the alley leading to the Pig's Head Bar, Lu Yunkai squatted on the side of the road, looking a little miserable. There were students from the school passing by, but no one noticed him, and they were all enjoying their own weekend.
"I came with Harry from Hogwarts."
"Harry?? And there is a passage from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade?"
Lu Yunkai was shocked, and he immediately realized that this matter could not be said in front of Daphne.
"Yes! And that passage is not the most important thing!" Chris's tone was full of pride, "Harry still has two treasures!"
"... Are you trying to stimulate me, thinking that there is nothing in my system?"
"One, it's a map." Chris nodded, "The map of Hogwarts."
"That thing is even in "Hogwarts, A History of the School"!"
"Can it take you out of the school through the secret passage?" Chris asked, "If there is, it would have been blocked by the Ministry of Magic long ago, right?"
"This is not very useful, right? At most, it can be used as a tool to sneak out of the school, and it is not a treasure." Lu Yunkai insisted reluctantly.
"Then according to you, the treasure map is not a treasure?" Chris was very disdainful of Lu Yunkai's insistence, "If you say that the map is not a treasure, then it is not a treasure. Anyway, he has something more powerful, a set of invisibility cloak."
"Oh, I have this." Lu Yunkai took a look at the system.
It's expensive, but it's affordable.
"That's you!! Do you know how many years have passed since the invisible beasts that made the invisibility cloaks were extinct?" Chris looked unhappy, "Every invisibility cloak that still exists is worth a city!"
"... Then what do you think about me reselling the invisibility cloaks? One in my system is only worth 30 million gold galleons... Eh? How come there is one worth 2 billion?? Oh, one of the Deathly Hallows! That's fine... But is this different from an ordinary invisibility cloak?"
Lu Yunkai muttered while flipping through the phantom of the system in front of him.
"How should I know? Why don't you buy them all and compare them? Anyway, you won't lose much money if you sell them back."
Chris teased Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris.
Where did he steal the 2 billion "rental mortgage" balance? ?
"I can afford an ordinary invisibility cloak, but it doesn't seem necessary." Lu Yunkai tried to save face, "I don't have that many things to hide..."
"Well, you let me do it." Chris looked unhappy.
"Then how about I use the money for the invisibility cloak to buy you cat food?"
"...No need." Chris shook her cat head, "Okay, go and have a love affair with your girlfriend! I'll go keep an eye on Harry. I'll take you through the secret passage again tomorrow..."
"There's a Quidditch match tomorrow!"
"You're a substitute for a substitute..."
"If I don't go, Flint won't forgive me, so I'd better save it!" Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "But I'm more interested in his map now..."
"I'll borrow it for you later?" Chris seemed to be very interested in the map.
"You call that borrowing?"
"Meow! Don't be so serious! I've already said that wizards' things can't be called stealing!!"
Chris disappeared in a flash.
Lu Yunkai sighed, stood up, and returned to the Pig's Head Bar.
"You're back?" Daphne smiled and greeted Lu Yunkai who had returned.
"Well... Madam, I really don't have forgetfulness grass here."
Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded to Daphne, then said to the person sitting opposite her.
It was the witch who just asked Lu Yunkai if he had a strong memory potion.
"I just came to chat." The witch smiled and shook her head, "Are you not welcome?"
"It may disturb our business." Lu Yunkai's tone was very polite, but what he said was not polite at all.
"...Then I'd better not disturb you." The witch smiled and nodded to Daphne, then left.
"Yunkai, what are you doing! Just chatting won't be a big deal..."
"Have you forgotten that we are not appearing in front of other wizards in our true colors now? If we chat and let it slip, there will be trouble. If you want to chat, isn't it enough for me to accompany you?" Lu Yunkai complained to Daphne in a low voice.
"Didn't you go out and whisper to your cat?" Daphne blushed slightly.
"Nothing, it just knows the secret passage Harry used to sneak out of the castle."
"...Harry sneaked into Hogsmeade again?"
"Yeah."
"Isn't he too brave!? Isn't he afraid that Sirius will kill him?"
"Do you think there is no protection from the Ministry of Magic here?" Lu Yunkai looked around, "If it's not safe here, we can't come here at all!"
"That's what I said, but Harry... That's right! Could the secret passage he used to sneak out of the school be the one Sirius used to sneak into the school?" Daphne suddenly thought of something.
"It's possible, but there are other secret passages." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Why, you want to report to the professor?"
"For safety..."
"I think the reason why Chris didn't want to tell you about this just now is because she was afraid that you would report it." Lu Yunkai laughed, "Forget it! It's not easy for Harry to sneak to Hogsmeade, so don't force him. Otherwise, Hermione will really be with Ron..."
"Oh! By the way! When I got off the train just now, I saw them walking together again!!" Daphne also laughed, "Okay, poor Harry..."
