Chapter 45 Encounter at the Old House

"My luck seems to be really bad!"

Riding on a broom, Lu Yunkai held a glowing wand in one hand, a map in the other, and a pen in his mouth, and drew a big X on a circle.

There was already a circle marked like this on the map.

During the day, he found three places on the map that looked like places where he had lived before, but now the first two were proven not to be.

Only the last one was left, but it was not far from here.

Putting away the glowing wand, Lu Yunkai drove the broom to the last possible place.

Riding a 300-kilometer-per-hour Nimbus 2000, a distance of one kilometer was just a matter of a few breaths.

This time, it seemed right.

The street in Lu Yunkai's memory, the port at the end of the street, and even the old tree that had died but no one had pulled out were all there.

Lu Yunkai's mood surged inexplicably.

After taking a deep breath and making sure that there was no one on the street and that the Muggles were all asleep, Lu Yunkai controlled the broom and landed on the street.

He stuffed the broom into his backpack and walked along the route he remembered to a townhouse.

Like most townhouses in England, the light red brick walls and white roofs made this house look no different from the houses on both sides.

The sign on the mini lawn in front of the house read "For Sale", indicating that it did not belong to anyone now.

The house's dilapidated gate and overgrown lawn made it look like no one had lived here for at least decades.

But Lu Yunkai knew that he had left this house only three years ago, and this desolate and dilapidated appearance was probably the work of the wizard's adoptive father.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Yunkai took out his wand and whispered again, and the glow flickered.

Under the illumination of the wand, Lu Yunkai walked into the familiar lawn.

The moment he stepped onto the lawn, Lu Yunkai felt an uncomfortable coldness invade his whole body. This should be a spell to drive away ordinary people.

Lu Yunkai didn't take it to heart, but threw a small stone on the lawn, continued to move forward, and walked to the door of the house.

"Alaho!" Lu Yunkai waved the wand in his hand at the door handle.

A white light, the door lock opened.

Lu Yunkai walked into the house and was stunned for a moment.

The house was so messy, maybe there was a typhoon? It wouldn't be so messy even if it was robbed!

Although the original warm appearance of this home from his memory made him feel a little uncomfortable now, he still resisted not to tidy it up.

Although it only takes a few tidying spells that he is best at.

With a little regret, Lu Yunkai bypassed the fallen cabinets and the scattered sofas, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

Jumping over the pit on the broken floor, he came to a small room in the corner.

That used to be his nest.

The door of the room was locked, but it was just a matter of a spell.

When the door opened, Lu Yunkai was stunned again.

The things in this room were very neat.

The bed, bedside table, writing desk, and even the books on the bookshelf were all neatly arranged.

There was just a layer of dust.

In the corner of the table, there was a motionless Muggle photo.

There were several children in the photo, all of them were Orientals.

Lu Yunkai knew that these might be friends from the East before coming to England.

It was just that the memories of these friends were not evoked by this photo.

Maybe the original Lu Yunkai himself didn't remember these friends of his?

He put the photo frame into the space bag and looked around. Except for the sadness brought by some memories, there was nothing else of value.

Some regrets, but also some relief.

In fact, Lu Yunkai was also worried before coming here, what if his adoptive father left him some clues so that he could find him or something like that...

Should he go or not?

Now he has no worries, which is good.

Lu Yunkai turned around and closed the door, then reached out and pulled the small single bed in the room.

It was fixed very firmly, just like Lu Yunkai's childhood memory.

It was just that Lu Yunkai could crawl directly under the bed back then, but now he could no longer crawl under the low bed.

Although he was a little reluctant, Lu Yunkai had to move the bed away.

"Take off!" Lu Yunkai used a floating spell on the bed.

With a few clicks, the wooden floors that originally fixed the bed legs broke, and the bed flew up, and then fell to the side with Lu Yunkai's wand, leaving the dusty bed.

"Clean it up."

With a spell, the floor looked cleaner than a new one.

Then, Lu Yunkai counted according to the numbers in his memory.

"The fourth row... the sixth piece... um, this one."

Muttering, Lu Yunkai squatted next to a wooden floor and reached out to pull it aside.

The wooden floor that seemed to be installed very firmly was moved away.

An object wrapped in black old cotton cloth was revealed.

That was the most important purpose of Lu Yunkai's visit to Liverpool this time: an object that he had hidden here in his memory.

It was not a valuable thing, but he had it when he was in the orphanage, and it came with him from the East to England, and it was a memory and a thought.

Throwing the things directly into the backpack behind him, Lu Yunkai didn't intend to stay here for long. He used the floating spell to swing the bed back and walked out of the room.

Walking back to the first floor along the shabby stairs, just when Lu Yunkai was debating whether to take a rest in this house and perhaps use it as his summer vacation spot, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Someone seemed to be coming outside the door, triggering what looked like a stone but was actually an alarm that he bought from the system for five hundred gold galleons.

Lu Yunkai made a prompt decision and spent a thousand gold galleons to buy a stand-in doll from the system that could be used to block a spell. This was also one of the self-defense items he had selected from the system.

Then, he spent ten galleons to buy a bottle of potion that can improve mental power and a bottle of potion that can increase movement speed, and drank them down in one gulp.

Get ready and get out there.

Sure enough, as he expected, the moment he stepped out of the door, a spell hit him.

"Expelliarmus!!"

And Lu Yunkai was unambiguous and immediately raised his wand.

"All petrified!"

The two spells collided together, and Lu Yunkai's spell disappeared instantly.

However, the disarming spell on the opposite side was also interfered by Lu Yunkai, deflected, and hit the ground nearby.

After the first spell, Lu Yunkai was not idle for a moment before he sent out the second petrification spell.

Then the third, fourth, fifth...

The speed was so fast that Lu Yunkai felt that his tongue was about to be tied.

But he had no choice. He knew very well that his magic skills were pitifully low. Not to mention adult wizards, even Hermione and Harry were more powerful with spells than him. There was no way to make up for this gap in skills with one or two bottles of potion. .

So he bought a bottle of potion that improves mental power, that is, increases the speed of casting spells.

Quality and quantity are not enough.

Can you get away from me when I spit? Can you get away from it when it rains?

Coupled with the bottle of potion that can make him move faster, it is easier for him to dodge the spells on the other side that are interfered by his own spells and missed.

Lu Yunkai didn't hear this tactic from Hermione.

When Hermione helped him undo the curse, she mentioned that she had seen a wizard in a wizard's autobiography, who was a wizard whose magic skills were not very high, but who cast spells very quickly.

The surname is Weasley...yes, Ron's great-uncle.

The wizard opposite obviously didn't expect Lu Yun to use this kind of tactic during the meeting, and he was a little confused all of a sudden.

One step is slow, each step is slow.

When his first attack was interfered by Lu Yunkai and failed to hit, he lost the opportunity. Although Lu Yunkai only had a petrification spell, it was cooked and cast quickly. In addition, although the bottle was only sold in the system, A few gold galleons, but god knows what price the potion could fetch in Diagon Alley, the adult wizard was completely suppressed by firepower.

Although the power of the opponent's spell was infinitely higher than that of Lu Yunkai, under the interference of Lu Yunkai's spell and body skills, there was no way to hit the person.

The ants kill the elephant.

Although the adult wizard had been struggling to hold on, nearly half a minute later, the adult wizard who was starting to get tired was finally hit by a petrification spell and fell to the ground with a bang.

Lu Yunkai rushed to him immediately and grabbed the wand.

Then he sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

So exciting! This is more nervous than facing the mountain monster! !

After a while, he finally regained his composure. He looked at the man lying on the ground.

He has blond hair and a scar on his face. Although he looks expressionless due to being hit by a petrification curse, he has a vicious look and does not look like a good person.

What to do with this person? It was obviously impossible to leave him here, and Lu Yunkai was a little confused for a while.

otherwise……

Lu Yunkai took out his notebook.

-

I immobilized an enemy with a petrification spell, what should I do next? -

Take his wand.

-

You don’t need to teach me this! -

Then you can break his petrification spell and interrogate some things you want to know. He didn't have a wand in his hand, so he would definitely be honest.

-

How to break the petrification curse?

-

"Stop", if you are worried that he will continue to attack you, you can also use "Quick Confinement" to make him unable to move.

-

Is it enough to just stop the mantra? No special spell to break the curse?

-

For the most basic spell like the Petrification Curse, you can use the most basic spell to remove it.

-

Okay, thank you.

Lu Yunkai put away his notebook, took out his wand, stood up and walked to a place far away from the middle-aged man.

"The curse stops immediately!"

"Quickly imprison him!"

Two magic spells were used one after another.

One after another, they hit the man continuously.

"You brat! Let me go!!"

The man yelled at Lu Yunkai fiercely.

"What are you ordering me from?" Lu Yunkai saw that the man was still lying on the ground and relaxed a little, but still did not walk over.

"Boy, believe it or not, I will kill you!!"

"If you had this ability, I would have finished you just now." Lu Yunkai snorted, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"..."

"Quickly imprison me! Answer me!"

Lu Yunkai used the confinement spell again.

He really didn't have much confidence in the power of his spell, so he could only use it a few times.

And this person stopped talking just now, obviously wanting to do something.

"snort!"

Sure enough, after Lu Yunkai added a spell, the man's face turned livid.

"You won't tell me yet? Let's imprison him quickly!"

Lu Yunkai cast the confinement spell again, then bought a small bottle of medicine from the system, walked up to the wizard, opened his mouth, and poured it in.

"What did you give me to drink??"

"Veritaserum." Lu Yunkai snorted, "Quickly imprison him!"

"..."
