Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 54 Golden Ring
Lu Yunkai didn’t realize at first why Chris suddenly mentioned King Solomon, and then he remembered the spell he had recited when he was pretending to be a ghost in front of Mrs. Zabini.
While Lu Yunkai was in a daze, Chrissy, who was in a state of confusion, had already made up a life story:
In order to avoid being chased by his queen, the woman with the blood of King Solomon followed the caravan through the desert and the Pamir Plateau to settle in the far east. After a thousand or two thousand years, his descendants became no different from ordinary Easterners, but But he always holds the secret that can open Solomon’s treasure house…
Hearing this, Lu Yun frowned, but he also admired this cat’s ability to improvise.
Previously, Lu Yunkai only found a secret treasure of Solomon from his lack of knowledge about treasures, and used it to temporarily deceive Mrs. Zabini, but he never thought that he could make up such a story.
Although it was so bloody that Lu Yunkai even blushed, but let alone, it seemed like that was the case. But the problem is that at that time, it was hard to say whether anyone was doing trade between the East and the West, right?
After Lu Yunkai opened the system and scanned the system, he found that it was not just the details of the story that needed to be discussed.
“Let’s change it to another one!” Lu Yunkai shook his head at Chris, who was still editing the story about King Solomon’s descendants. “I think Solomon’s stuff is a bit evil.”
“Meow, what are you afraid of? This identity setting is so suitable for your system, just make do with it!” Chris disagreed, “Why, there is no King Solomon in your system?”
“Yes. A summoning scroll, very cheap, seven hundred gold galleons. It is said that it can summon the devil, but the summoning method has been lost.” Lu Yunkai said to Chrissy, looking at the shadow in front of him: “There is also a wine glass, possess it The blood of King Solomon, two hundred million gold galleons…”
“Meow?? The scroll that can summon demons only costs 700, and the broken wine glass stained with blood costs 200 million??” Chris was once again confused by the magical pricing logic of the system.
“The key point is that these two things are ordinary and nothing special from the outside.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “I can’t see any connection with King Solomon at all.”
“Just these two?”
“Oh, there’s also a gold ring engraved with a five-pointed star icon.”
“Meow! That’s it!! Why are you hesitating?”
“Can you accept an ordinary gold ring with no special functions for 470 million gold galleons? I can’t accept it.” Lu Yunkai shook his head seriously.
“Nothing special? Then make one yourself!” Chrissy suddenly became more interested after hearing this, “This is great!”
“Make it yourself??”
“What’s wrong! You just have to say that there are some special magics that you can’t get, so forget it. It won’t do anything to imitate something without the blessing of magic!” Chris nodded, “Then use the ancient potion. After taking a dip, no one can tell whether it’s true or false.”
“Ancient potion? How can there be such a thing!” Lu Yun opened the search system, and the prompt was empty.
“Is that an antique potion? Or is it ancient or something? I can’t remember the name. I heard that old man in Knockturn Alley talk to Jesse about it once, saying that their line of work used it to imitate antiques. But the cost of the potion It’s very high and uses several rare materials.”
“I can’t find any of the potions you mentioned.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Is that old man in Diagon Alley a counterfeit antique maker?”
“Most people in Knockturn Alley do this, otherwise how can they make money! But generally they can only deceive laymen. There is a whole set of magic to identify antiques, and their counterfeiting methods cannot pass. I heard him tell Jesse before I remember, if several of the raw materials for making that potion had not disappeared, he would have made a fortune long ago. But this kind of thing is not a problem for you! I can get the potion formula from him for you, and you can do it yourself. With two bottles, making a ring and soaking the potion, it will definitely be much cheaper than buying it in the system. “
“Well, I can give it a try.” Lu Yunkai nodded, he was very interested.
Save hundreds of millions of gold galleons!
…
After getting rid of the evil clerk, Mrs. Zabini personally served as the waiter of Zabini Magic Items Store. She was busy taking care of the store every day, and she no longer had the interest to come to Lu Yunkai to flirt with her.
This made Lu Yunkai feel a lot more relaxed.
However, out of “support” for his partners, Lu Yunkai would still sit outside the cold drink shop for a while, say hello to Mrs. Zabini who was dozing in the shop through the window, and take a look at the products he bought. Wand book.
Then he hid in his room at night and used a carving knife to make fake rings.
It’s just that he really doesn’t have any talent for engraving. He may not even be able to carve things well on plaster, let alone do this kind of thing on a gold ring.
He only persisted for three days before giving up.
He spent ten gold galleons to buy the gold from the system. After three days of melting, shaping, and carving operations, and then he officially admitted failure and gave up and sold it back to the system, only two gold galleons were left. The value also shows from one aspect the system’s complaints about Lu Yunkai’s behavior…
Let’s leave things to those who are good at it! Anyway, after getting the dividend from the necklace from Mrs. Zabini, he didn’t lack that much money.
The only problem is the pattern on the ring.
He could follow the shadow of the system and carve it bit by bit, but if it were commissioned to be made, he was not sure that his painting skills would be able to accurately restore the symbols on the ring.
Although it is just an irregular five-pointed star with some simple lines around it…
So he made a risky decision:
From the system, “rent” King Solomon’s gold ring.
That means buying the ring, rubbing the patterns and carvings on it on paper, and then selling it back.
According to Lu Yunkai’s tests using other things, the depreciation rate is very slight and basically acceptable.
However, Chris was not optimistic about Lu Yunkai’s attempt.
“Meow! Have you forgotten that surveillance crystal ball that cheated you of a thousand gold galleons?”
“If the discount is too high, I will treat it as if I spent 400 million gold galleons to buy this ring. Anyway, the remaining balance was given away by the Philosopher’s Stone.”
Lu Yunkai’s mentality is particularly good.
Then, the gold ring appeared in Lu Yunkai’s hand before Chris could stop it again.
After buying everything, Lu Yunkai decided to play with it.
First, he used magic and non-magic methods to imprint the irregular five-pointed star pattern on it, and then used an extremely precise scale to measure the ring’s weight, various sizes and a series of other parameters before taking the ring with him. Showed off in Diagon Alley.
Except for himself, no one recognized anything special about this ring.
After playing for a whole day, Lu Yunkai woke up the system and inquired about the sales price with a feeling of trepidation.
Not bad. Lu Yunkai said that it was completely acceptable for the “rent” of one thousand gold galleons for one day.
“Meow, it’s such a shame.”
Chrissy doesn’t think so anyway…
With the drawings in hand, he exchanged two hundred gold galleons for a thousand pounds at Gringotts Bank, and put on the mask with the confusion spell, Lu Yunkai found a jewelry customization shop in London.
A solid gold ring without gemstones is simple for professionals.
What’s more, all the data measured by Lu Yunkai were extremely accurate, and there was no requirement to make it purely by hand. It only took five days for Lu Yunkai to get the piece. From the weight to the pattern, and even the scratches on the pattern, it was the same as that of the seller. The ring, which is worth more than 400 million gold galleons, is an exact replica.
And in the past few days, Chrissy has not been idle either.
Just like when it first arrived at Hogwarts, it would run out every night and come back the next morning.
Lu Yunkai didn’t say much about this. He believed that Chris had her own way.
After six days of “operation” from dawn to dusk, it successfully returned to the room at dawn with a scroll in its mouth, on which the preparation method of a certain magic potion was written in scrawled handwriting that Lu Yunkai could not understand.
Even the description of the production process is a bit unclear because it is too sloppy.
But this did not trouble Lu Yunkai.
He took out the handwritten potion book that Daphne gave him, and compared the formulas in it to find similar potions.
It took him less than two days, but he actually found an unknown potion inside. The formula was exactly the same, and the configuration method was also explained in detail.
After that, we spent the whole night preparing the medicine.
Twenty gold galleons of ingredients, four hours of concentrated cooking, and the finished product was presented in a red crystal potion bottle.
The system prompts that the item is called Hourglass Potion.
There is no word “ancient” that Chris repeatedly emphasized.
Of course, this is not the key. What makes Lu Yunkai even more frustrated is that the system price of this bottle of potion is two galleons.
While lamenting, “I’m being bullied for being uneducated,” Lu Yunkai soaked the ring in the potion.
According to the instructions for the medicine provided by the system, it is estimated that it will take a month to achieve the aging effect of three thousand years.
Just wait!
And the time has come to the end of July before we know it.
The owl that notified Lu Yunkai of the items he needed for the next semester flew to the window of his room…
