Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 50 New Store Opening
Lu Yunkai had never seen the effectiveness of the oath not to be broken, but from the name of this spell, he judged that it might be a trustworthy method.
After concluding an unbreakable oath and signing the magical cooperation contract, Lu Yunkai sent his roommate’s mother away.
Although Mrs. Zabini seems to want to discuss more details of cooperation with Lu Yunkai about opening a store, such as the choice of store name, store location, operation methods, etc.
Lu Yunkai said “I don’t understand, leave it all to you, madam!” as a rejection and statement.
On the one hand, he really didn’t know what preparations he had to make to open a store in the wizarding world. On the other hand, he also knew that if he, who was only eleven years old, acted too unbecoming of his age, he would get into trouble sooner or later.
When she heard Lu Yunkai say this, Mrs. Zabini acted like an “aunt”.
“Leave all these things to me! I promise to do it well!”
This is what Mrs. Zabini promised Lu Yunkai when she left.
When Chris came back, she heard that Lu Yunkai had decided to cooperate with Mrs. Zabini to sell goods, and she also expressed her support.
He even expressed great appreciation for the “random change magic” performed by Lu Yunkai.
“Meow! You are such a genius at making money! How wonderful!”
Lu Yunkai said that at that time, he was just thinking about how to prevent Mrs. Zabini from being like that notebook, asking for things like the Elder Wand, and at the same time, he could not make her feel that she could not get anything.
This random pattern was the best he could think of.
As long as your money is in place, you can get what you want one day. It’s just that you may not have that much money and can’t wait for the day when the Elder Wand appears…
However, compared to Chrissy’s praise, Lu Yunkai remained calm. He knew what he was doing wasn’t perfect: when he pretended to chant the spell, his wand didn’t react at all.
Although Mrs. Zabini was deceived by Lu Yunkai’s little trick at the time, there was no guarantee that she would not come back and wonder why Lu Yunkai clearly used magic, but the wand didn’t even emit light.
It’s not magic.
But for this matter, Lu Yunkai didn’t have a good solution for the time being: he didn’t even understand why magic glowed.
But he didn’t have much time to dwell on and study this issue.
Mrs. Zabini, who took full responsibility for opening the shop, showed her influence as a “famous witch”.
In just one week, a new magic supplies store completed all the formalities and was ready to open.
Just like the oath Mrs. Zabini made, no one except herself knew that the major shareholder and supplier of the “Zabini Magic Supplies Store” named after Zabini’s own surname was actually Lu Yunkai This twelve-year-old boy.
As a result, Lu Yunkai was not invited to attend the opening ceremony of the new store located at the intersection of Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley. That day, he could only sit in Florin’s, a popular shop in Diagon Alley, which was across the wall from the new store, watching the various people who came to celebrate coming in and out.
This is naturally a good thing for Lu Yunkai.
Of course, not entirely.
…
“I heard Blaise said that when you wanted to go to the store today, you were blocked by the clerk?”
It was late July, and after a few days of busy opening, Mrs. Zabini brought Lu Yunkai’s first dividend: the necklace with the beauty charm that Lu Yunkai “transformed” using the map of Liverpool that day had been Sold successfully.
The buyer can also be considered an “acquaintance” of Lu Yunkai: Mrs. Malfoy.
When the new store opened, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy were invited to congratulate it as guests. At that time, she fell in love with the necklace that Mrs. Zabini displayed as “the two treasures of the store”.
After two days of consideration and negotiation, Draco’s mother finally paid the “friendly price” of 400,000 gold galleons for the necklace that Lu Yunkai had taken out of the system.
It’s not that Mrs. Malfoy can’t afford the “mere” original price of one million, but that she enjoys the sense of privilege that “I can enjoy a discount.”
With double satisfaction, Mrs. Malfoy bought the necklace and wore it everywhere to show off. Also relying on Mrs. Malfoy’s free advertising, this new store has already become quite famous in Knockturn Alley after only a few days of opening.
Although now there is no other valuable treasure left in the store except a crucible that is said to be a crucible that can automatically refine potions…
“Bress thought I might be interested in the potion crucible and wanted to take me to see it, but the clerk stopped me and said that minors are not allowed to enter.” Lu Yun smiled and shook his head at Mrs. Zabini, “It’s okay.”
“You can see clearly.” Mrs. Zabini smiled like a flower. “During dinner, Blaise complained to me and said there was something wrong with the clerk I hired.”
“Where did you find this clerk?” Lu Yunkai asked with a little curiosity.
“He is the son of my teacher.” When Mrs. Zabini mentioned this, she raised her head slightly, and her “well-known witch” sense of arrogance suddenly emerged, “It is also one of my pursuits. By.”
“…He should be in his early twenties, right?”
“almost.”
“…Madam is amazing!” Lu Yunkai praised sincerely, “From ninety-nine to just walking, you can kill them all!”
“Have you just learned how to walk? I think you don’t seem to be interested in me. Otherwise…” Mrs. Zabini smiled charmingly.
“But it’s not Blaise who thinks there’s something wrong with this clerk, it’s me who told him.” Lu Yunkai interrupted Mrs. Zabini’s habitual flirtation.
Mrs. Zabini has been bringing some miscellaneous things to Lu Yunkai’s place every night recently, “begging” Lu Yunkai to try and see if he can conjure anything useful.
So far, the entire army has been wiped out.
However, this did not affect Mrs. Zabini’s liking for Lu Yunkai the more she looked at him. This weird tone when speaking made Chrissy unable to bear it, so she chose to sleep on her stomach on the counter of the bar below.
“You think there’s something wrong with the clerk? How is that possible! I tested him with the truth serum you gave me!” Mrs. Zabini looked in disbelief, “He didn’t expect me to use truth serum! “
“But I feel that he is weird.” Lu Yunkai was also a little unsure, “This afternoon I saw that he didn’t have much respect for Bres. After all, Bres is also the young owner of this store! How could he be there? So you said he was your suitor just now, which is even more incredible.”
“He was rude to Blaise??”
“It feels like it’s not you who pays his salary.” Lu Yunkai nodded.
“It’s okay. There’s still some truth serum left. I’ll secretly pour some into him tomorrow.” Mrs. Zabini nodded, and then took out some items from a space bag she carried with her.
“Are you still trying today?”
“Just try again!” Mrs. Zabini said in a sweet and coquettish tone.
“next time!”
“But people want it!!”
“I feel like there’s really no rush.” Lu Yunkai listened to the awkward conversation and tried hard not to be embarrassed: “I still think it’s best to figure out what we can sell, and then figure out how to change it. Otherwise, you will be like this now. Just let me come up with my own ideas, I really don’t know what I can change!”
“Then we can’t just ask the guests to mention what they need, and then we’ll get it together!” Mrs. Zabini shook her head, “Hurry up! Come on!!”
“…Ahem, why not! You can ask Mrs. Malfoy if there is anything she wants, or if her friends want anything, and then say you can help them get it, isn’t that enough?”
“That’s too unstable. We still have to rely on the store!” Mrs. Zabini disagreed.
“…Okay! I’ll give it a try.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly.
In fact, during the day today, he had already selected a dozen magical objects and materials in the system that he thought might not be a problem to sell in Knockturn Alley, but he didn’t want to give them away so easily.
After all, it is more laborious to pick out these things from the vast system than the objects themselves.
Let’s get this ring that can remove low-level curses today, right?
The price in the system is 4,200 gold galleons, which is neither cheap nor expensive. It should be just right.
…
“Meow, what are you asking him again?”
After Mrs. Zabini happily left with the baby ring, Chris came back from the bar, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw Lu Yunkai holding a notebook and writing something on it.
“I was asking him if he knew of any way to deal with Veritaserum.”
Lu Yunkai answered casually, his attention still on his notebook.
“How did he say?”
“Don’t let anyone drink it.”
“Isn’t this nonsense!” Chris jumped onto Lu Yunkai’s shoulder and looked at the notebook.
–
Of course, there is an easier way, which is to always tell the truth.
The words that appeared on the notebook made Lu Yunkai laugh.
–
How can you tell the truth and keep secrets at the same time?
–
Revise the authenticity of the secret! Just like what you said about sending people to lurk, I only need to use a forgetting spell and a little memory-modifying spell to insert people in smoothly.
–
oh? How?
–
I will make that person forget all the memories of my contact with him, and then ask him to extract the things he heard and saw while lurking every once in a while on the pretext of saving memos, and put them in a safe place. place. In this way, no matter who goes to interrogate him, he will never think that I sent him there, because he himself doesn’t know.
Voldemort’s answer made the smile on Lu Yunkai’s face freeze and become serious.
…
“How about it?”
“You’re right, that clerk really has a memory gap.”
After dinner the next day, Mrs. Zabini, who came to see Lu Yunkai as usual, had a frosty face.
There is no trace of the excitement of the past few days.
“As expected. Then does he have any backup memory or something?”
“Yes, once every three days. He just backed up yesterday, and I deleted his memory that I used Veritaserum today, so he will back up tomorrow.” Mrs. Zabini nodded, “I will go and watch it tomorrow. ”
“You don’t want to go, I’ll go.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “You make the other party wary too easily.”
“That’s fine. But how did you come up with this method? It’s really hard to guard against!”
“Someone taught me that.”
“who?”
“Chrissy.”
“Oh, that’s right. If you follow Jesse, he may actually know a lot of these weird methods!”
Mrs. Zabini nodded.
