Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 49 Happy cooperation
Looking at Lu Yunkai who was so choked up that she couldn’t say anything, Mrs. Zabini’s smile became even brighter. She simply stood up and untied the long black cloak she was wearing. The light pink gauze skirt, which was cut close to the body and looked like pajamas, was exposed.
But her action did not make Lu Yunkai feel more flustered.
But he calmed down instead.
This woman came prepared. What exactly did she want to do?
Lu Yunkai glanced at the roll of parchment, picked it up, and unfolded it.
This is a contract, and the content is not long. Lu Yunkai only needs a few breaths to read it.
After closing the parchment, Lu Yunkai was already very calm when he looked at the smiling Mrs. Zabini again.
“I can see that you need money and like money very much.” Mrs. Zabini continued, “I am the same person as you. We both know that everything else will disappear one day, only money is this The most reliable thing in the world, isn’t it?”
Lu Yun smiled and did not answer.
“I made it very clear in the contract. I will pay for the principal of opening the store. You only need to provide the goods. Why, do you think the 70% share is too small? I have to bear the rent of the store and the salary of the clerk. I am also responsible for the daily management. , 30% is not much.”
Lu Yunkai still smiled and said nothing.
“How do you want me to prove my honesty? Do you need me to swear that you will tell me the truth?”
Lu Yunkai still didn’t respond.
Mrs. Zabini sighed softly, took out her wand, and swore an oath.
The content is that you will never tell anyone what happened tonight.
But Lu Yunkai still didn’t speak, he just looked at Mrs. Zabini.
“What else do you want??” Mrs. Zabini finally became furious and roared at Lu Yunkai like a lion.
“Mrs. Zabini, how do you know this thing came from me and not someone else?”
Lu Yunkai finally spoke.
Watching Mrs. Zabini casting spells and performing, he remained silent while his mind kept thinking.
To be honest, when he saw the contract, he was really moved.
He needed the balance from the magic stone in the system to be converted into gold Galleons at hand, and he really had no channel to do this. Mrs. Zabini proposed in that contract that she would pay to open a magic items store, and Lu Yunkai would provide the goods, and they would share the profits 30/70, which suited Lu Yunkai very well.
In addition, Lu Yunkai also realized that the explanation of “I have a friend” could not convince Mrs. Zabini that the necklace was just a coincidence.
Therefore, after Lu Yunkai read the contract parchment, he decided to accept the cooperation proposal with her.
The problem is just how to work together.
It was absolutely impossible for him to tell all his secrets to such a woman. Therefore, he needed a method that was acceptable to wizards to make these things appear in front of Mrs. Zabini, and also did not make Mrs. Zabini think that he had the ability to get anything easily, otherwise he would fall into passivity sooner or later.
It can’t be the function of a treasure and Lu Yunkai is just the holder of the treasure.
Because as long as it is an object, it may arouse evil thoughts in others, especially for such a beautiful woman who has lost several husbands. She may have more tricks than Lu Yunkai can think of.
In the same way, it cannot be a treasure.
It can only be magic. Or, transformation magic. Lu Yunkai was silent just now, just making up a transformation magic in his mind.
Of course, only he, Lu Yunkai, could use the transformation magic.
Now the settings for this magic have been basically completed in his mind, so he can speak.
“Only when you make something yourself can you tell the difference.” When Mrs. Zabini heard Lu Yunkai finally spoke, a long-lost smile appeared on her face, “Actually, since you can get Phoenix’s tears, I really doubt whether there is the friend you mentioned. Most people would treasure this kind of thing, how can they show it to others! Unless it is someone who is very important to them and can be completely trusted.”
“So the person you chose to cooperate with has been me from the beginning?”
“Yes. Regardless of whether the friend you mentioned exists or not, all I need to do is cooperate with you.” Mrs. Zabini nodded.
“Your money should be enough for you to live your whole life without worries. Why do you still ask me to do this kind of thing?”
“How can there be enough money?” Mrs. Zabini’s eyes lit up. She heard that Lu Yunkai was already negotiating terms, so she answered sincerely: “Although I have the blessing of this necklace, I won’t I’m old and beautiful, but I’ve had enough of relying on marriage to make money.”
“Make money by getting married…”
“Ask any well-informed person in the wizarding world about me and you can find out.” Mrs. Zabini waved her hand, “So I know it’s difficult to win your trust, so tell me how you can do it.” Do you agree to cooperate with me?”
“For Blaise’s sake, I can trust you not to harm me, but I really can’t cooperate with you. Because I can’t provide you with a stable supply.”
“Unstable? It’s not important. Even if you can only produce one treasure like Phoenix Tears or this necklace a year, that’s enough.” Mrs. Zabini didn’t seem to care.
“But I can’t guarantee it. Because I don’t know what kind of things I can get.” Lu Yunkai spread his hands.
“What’s the meaning?”
“I can demonstrate it for you on the spot.” Lu Yunkai took out the wand from his sleeve and picked up a small gift from Blaise from the ground.
“Solomon’s Treasure!”
He shouted the incantation he made up and pointed his wand at the small gift he held in his other hand.
In fact, the first spell that Lu Yunkai just thought of was “Open Sesame”, but after he came back to his senses, he felt that he might not be able to deceive Mrs. Zabini, and he didn’t know much about the legend of treasures. Apart from the treasure of the Forty Thieves, he didn’t know much about it. I can only think of King Solomon’s secret treasure.
It was impressive and bluffing enough, so I put it to use.
As he chanted the spell, the item was sold to the system and disappeared into thin air in front of Mrs. Zabini.
Mrs. Zabini was dumbfounded.
“Come again.”
Seeing that his trick worked, Lu Yunkai picked up another object, spelled it, disappeared, picked it up again, disappeared again…
After repeating it seven or eight times, finally, following his “spell”, a small and not very valuable gift turned into an exquisite stone bowl carved with simple and gorgeous patterns and with a warm texture.
It is filled with milky white liquid.
“Please drink.”
In Mrs. Zabini’s shocked expression, Lu Yunkai placed the stone bowl in front of her.
Looking at the milky white liquid in the stone bowl, Mrs. Zabini hesitated for a moment, but she still gritted her teeth, picked up the bowl, and drank it in one gulp.
But when she put the bowl back on the table, the milky white liquid appeared out of thin air again and filled the bowl.
This is the treasure that Lu Yunkai exchanged for four hundred gold galleons, called the Bowl of Plenty.
It contains endless amounts of kumiss.
“I wanted something exactly like this necklace, but instead it turned out to be this bowl. Although it looks like a very good treasure, but…” Lu Yun smiled and shook his head.
Pick up something and continue.
The scattered small gifts all over the place disappeared one by one in front of Mrs. Zabini’s eyes, and several of them turned into other strange items.
Finally, Lu Yunkai took out some miscellaneous souvenirs brought back from Liverpool from his bag, and finally, one of them turned into a necklace.
The room fell silent.
Mrs. Zabini looked at three identical necklaces and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Lu Yunkai picked up the stone bowl and took a sip of the koumiss.
Not very tasty.
Mrs. Zabini picked up a necklace and said “Treasure of Solomon” like Lu Yunkai.
Nothing happened.
How could anything happen? That was a spell Lu Yunkai made up temporarily! !
“Why does this spell have no effect when I use it?” Mrs. Zabini looked at Lu Yunkai.
“How do I know? I have only studied at Hogwarts for one year. Maybe fifty years later, I can figure out the reason.” Lu Yunkai said with a smile, “Or maybe this is a spell that only I can use? “
“Is this how you get all your stuff?”
Mrs. Zabini accepted the “magic” she had just seen. After all, compared to a magic that only one person can use, an item disappearing out of thin air without leaving any trace or even turning into another item is something that she, as a witch, cannot believe.
“Yeah.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “It’s very unstable and depends on luck, so if you want to open a store, I won’t be able to have whatever you want. If you can accept such an approach, then we can talk. Because you said Yes, I do need money.”
“Of course it’s acceptable!” Mrs. Zabini smiled. “No store in Knockturn Alley can say that they must have some treasures. But as long as you have unique objects, you have the value of existing.”
“Yeah.” Lu Yunkai nodded.
“Then are you willing to sign this contract with me?” Mrs. Zabini pointed to the parchment, “We will cooperate.”
“Okay, but this matter…”
“Of course no one else will know. If you are still worried, I can make an oath that cannot be broken.” Mrs. Zabini said seriously, “Only the two of us will know about our cooperation.”
“Finally, I have one more question.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “How much is this necklace worth, so that you can take such a big risk to come to me?”
“Priceless.” Mrs. Zabini said happily.
“…”
“You should never underestimate the price a woman can pay for her beauty. The price of this necklace only depends on what kind of woman you can let see it.”
“…Would you like us to have a happy cooperation?” Lu Yunkai stood up with a smile and extended his hand.
Just saying this, this partner is definitely worth it to Lu Yunkai. If the things extracted from the system are handed over to her, you can rest assured that they will not be sold at a low price.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Mrs. Zabini reached out and held Lu Yunkai’s forearm, and Lu Yunkai also grabbed Mrs. Zabini’s forearm.
“Now you will finish reciting the incantation with me that you cannot break the oath.” Mrs. Zabini said seriously.
“good.”
