Chapter 192 Knowing Nothing

After leaving the Sinai Peninsula and returning to the Nile River, Lu Yunkai had a good time with Daphne. By the time they returned to England, more than half a month of summer vacation had passed.

The three young people, including Astoria, all had a great time on this trip.

As the leader, Balon finally fulfilled his duty as a father.

But when the four returned to England, he left again after only a few days.

This time his destination is further away, in South America...

But fortunately, with the communication mirror that Helen gave him as a birthday gift, neither Daphne nor Astoria were as resistant and reluctant to let their father go away again as before.

And after seeing the stone chamber where it started, they finally understood why their father was flying around the world like a headless fly.

There is really too little reference information there. If you want to break this curse, you can only try your luck everywhere.

After Lu Yunkai returned home, he got some "gratifying" news: A few days ago, Irene saw the big snake appearing outside the wall of Lu Yunkai's house again.

After hiding from him for more than half a month, Voldemort came to find him again. In other words, regardless of whether he really trusts Lu Yunkai or not, Voldemort seems to have no other choice now.

This is certainly a good thing.

But recently, Lu Yunkai was more willing to worry about Daphne than Voldemort, so he sent Chrissy to follow Nagini to explore Voldemort's new hiding place.

According to Chris, who came back, Voldemort "really went back more and more."

…

"I said, why did you end up in a place like this? This is not as good as the previous castle!"

Lu Yunkai looked around.

He also looked like he was not very respectful to Voldemort.

This is a hidden cave. Opposite him, the weird-looking Voldemort was huddled in a haystack, without even half of the majesty that the Dark Lord should have.

"It's not because you leaked my whereabouts."

Voldemort's voice sounded hoarse. His condition looked dire.

And this was after Lu Yunkai had just fed him some unicorn blood. When Lu Yunkai first arrived here, he looked even more miserable.

"Let's talk! It was you who arranged for Little Crouch to go to Hogwarts to cause trouble, and it has nothing to do with me. Can I be blamed for what happened after he was caught and exposed?" Lu Yunkai said with a look on his face of injustice.

"I didn't arrange it."

"Don't come here." Lu Yunkai looked like he didn't believe Voldemort's explanation. "You didn't arrange it. Who gave him the courage to target me everywhere in school? Is it okay to arrange for me and Harry Potter to participate in the Triwizard Tournament? Did he make his own decision? If not for the instructions you gave him, would he have the courage? "

Well, this is just passing the blame.

Anyway, Voldemort doesn't know...

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Voldemort looked like he didn't want to mention it, "But fortunately, before he left, he left me one of his legs. What I need now is Harry Potter."

"Now that Dumbledore also knows that you want Harry Potter's blood, do you think I still have the ability to get it?" Lu Yunkai had a look of dismay on his face, "That idiot who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"

Speaking of which, Lu Yun started to laugh.

"Is it really not you who arranged for him to go?"

"He just did it on his own to show me his loyalty." Voldemort looked angry, "You'd better learn from this and bring Harry Potter to me as soon as possible."

"I'm sorry, I really don't have the ability now." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "This summer vacation, Harry is staying at his aunt's house. There are at least two Aurors on duty outside at the same time to prevent anyone from the magical world from approaching. And all the owls issued to him The letters have to be checked by the Auror, and he is also grounded... Well, he told me this personally. What do you think I have the ability to bring Harry to you?"

"If people can't bring it, his blood can also be used. Although it lacks a little magic..."

"I told you, Crouch Jr. has already leaked this matter." Lu Yunkai began to blame it wildly, "Now if Harry has a cut on his hand, there will be a group of people watching!"

"Then what do you mean?" Voldemort was a little annoyed.

He also understood that what Lu Yunkai said was true.

During the period after he learned that Crouch Jr. had been arrested, the information feedback Nagini brought back to him was exactly the same as what Lu Yunkai said.

If this were not the case, Voldemort, who had lost trust in the recommender Lu Yunkai because of Crouch Jr.'s "unauthorized actions", would never ask him for help again.

"I don't mean anything." Lu Yunkai spread his hands, "I suggest you wait."

"wait?"

"There's nothing I can do if I wait." Lu Yunkai said this categorically. "After a while, people at the Ministry of Magic begin to relax and even forget about this matter, and then I will think of a way. Now at the cusp of the storm, I will definitely not He would act rashly, otherwise it would be the same situation as Little Crouch.”

It was quiet for a while.

"You have been waiting for more than ten years. Do you still have a year and a half left?" Lu Yunkai tried to persuade.

"It's not that I don't have patience, it's that Crouch has exposed me. I can feel that some people can't help but want to attack me," Voldemort said helplessly, "I must recover my strength before things get completely out of control."

"Then can't you just make do with someone else's blood? Must it be Harry's?" Lu Yunkai tried.

"...I want you to do something for me." Voldemort changed the subject.

It was also equivalent to rejecting Lu Yunkai.

"What?"

"You find a way to sneak into the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic..."

"Stop it!!" Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "Department of Mysteries? Needless to say, I can't do it."

"...Go to the Department of Mysteries to check the prophecy ball that made the prophecy about me and Harry Potter. I want to know what it said." Voldemort didn't care about Lu Yunkai's interruption, but continued to finish his words.

"I told you, I can't get into the Department of Mysteries."

"Find a way yourself." Voldemort didn't seem to have the intention to reason with Lu Yunkai, but just gave an order.

Then he stopped talking.

Lu Yunkai glanced at Voldemort and the giant snake Nagini beside him.

"I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned around and rode his broom to leave the cave on the cliff on the coast of Scotland without saying anything else.

...

Lu Yunkai rejected Voldemort very straightforwardly. He had no interest in what Voldemort proposed.

The prophecy that changed the fate of many people, Voldemort and Harry (Lu Yunkai had asked Harry before entering the school in the first grade) did not know what the prophecy said.

But it seemed that the entire magic world knew what the prophecy said.

This in itself is a very mysterious thing.

In addition, when he went to back up the prophecy ball before, Chris told him that the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic was far more mysterious than Lu Yunkai and even Voldemort knew. The things studied by those weird guys in it (Lu Yunkai knew that Chris was complaining about his old friend) far exceeded Lu Yunkai's imagination.

So, when Chris volunteered to tell Lu Yunkai that she could check for him, Lu Yunkai warned her seriously not to meddle in other people's business.

Prophecies are really weird things.

Do you think they are accurate? Did the prophecy he witnessed with the Parvati sisters come true?

Most of Voldemort's most loyal followers are Crouch Jr. But Crouch Jr. failed to help Voldemort restore his rule and fell into Dumbledore's hands! Not to mention becoming more powerful...

But as one of the most powerful wizards of the time, Voldemort seemed to believe in the prophecy. First, he attacked and killed Harry at all costs, and now he insisted on going to the Ministry of Magic to inquire for him.

So, Lu Yunkai planned to ignore Voldemort's request.

Just let him wait.

Anyway, Lu Yunkai has probably determined that Voldemort's secret is the Horcrux. As for how many Horcruxes he made, Lu Yunkai could only hope that he would let it slip one day. He couldn't be impatient.

So he might as well give him a trick to procrastinate.

The best way to procrastinate is to go on a long journey.

And Lu Yunkai had this plan in the first place.

When he was traveling with Daphne in Egypt, he had already used the communication mirror to ask Irene to help arrange for the owl Sophie to send a letter to Krum, a friend he met during this year's Triwizard Tournament.

He hoped to travel to Bulgaria.

Of course, traveling was an excuse. He was going to find the giants...

The procedures for underage wizards to leave England are actually quite complicated, and the easiest way to bypass these procedures is undoubtedly to "visit under invitation."

And Krum also showed the usual generosity and gentlemanliness he showed when he was in Hogwarts in response to Lu Yunkai's letter, and almost immediately invited Lu Yunkai.

As the champion of this year's Triwizard Tournament, Lu Yunkai and another contestant met again after the competition. When this reason was brought to the Ministry of Magic, the promoter of the competition, it was naturally supported without a doubt.

The Ministry of Magic even arranged a reporter from the Daily Prophet to conduct a short interview with Lu Yunkai the day after he returned from Egypt.

The topic was not the champion of the Triwizard Tournament itself, but the friendship formed by the three schools in the competition.

Furong, who now works at Gringotts, also accepted the interview.

The two even met again after more than half a month and took a photo together...

In just two days, this interview was published in the newspaper, even on the front page of the Daily Prophet.

You know, Lu Yunkai's success in winning the Triwizard Cup as a representative of Hogwarts did not make it to the Daily Prophet, and at this time many British wizards knew that the Triwizard Tournament had ended and the champion was a Hogwarts student...

Lu Yunkai understood this, after all, a guy of his age who won the championship in a crushing manner would not be very proud for the Ministry of Magic, the organizer of the competition.

The interview was published in the newspaper, and it even mentioned that Lu Yunkai was invited by another contestant to travel to Bulgaria. Lu Yunkai's second trip abroad this summer was soon arranged.

On the fourth day after returning to England, which was the day after he took the time to meet Voldemort on the cliffs of Scotland, Lu Yunkai came to Bulgaria through the special access channel prepared by the Ministry of Magic...

It was much more convenient than going to Egypt with Baron before.

In Bulgaria, Lu Yunkai also received a very formal welcome and reception.

After all, this is the friend of Krum, the "hero" in the eyes of Bulgarian wizards!

Of course, there are also some people who are a little indignant that a little guy like Lu Yunkai can beat Krum in the Triwizard Tournament...

But after all, they are not the majority, and even Krum himself said that he was convinced of the defeat, so those people can only hold it in and secretly be sarcastic.

The official farewell and welcome were on the same day, and Lu Yunkai also saw what the official communication of the magic world is like.

In fact, it is similar to the Muggle world...

Well, after all, they are all human beings, how much difference can there be!!

After a grand welcome dinner, Lu Yunkai moved into the residence arranged for him by the Bulgarian Wizards' Union (roughly equivalent to the Ministry of Magic in England).

After the accompanying officials left, Lu Yunkai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The only person left in the room was looking at Lu Yunkai with a smile.

"Tell me, you didn't come to Bulgaria to enjoy these things, right? When you were in Hogwarts before, you even ran away from the Christmas ball early."

Krum laughed and complained about Lu Yunkai.
