Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 70 Self-defeating
Following Baron out of the study, Lu Yunkai came to the restaurant on the second floor.

The restaurant room is not big, and the decoration is relatively simple and elegant. The tables and chairs are not complicatedly carved, and the tableware is clean and tidy, but the owner's careful thought can be seen everywhere. The Fuji family is completely different, but it has many similarities with the Blaise family.

Lu Yunkai also prefers to eat in such a place, at least it seems that the family is more humane.

The two sat at the dining table, Baron remained silent while Lu Yunkai lowered his head, looking at the ring hanging on his chest.There was an inexplicable dullness between the two, which made Helene, who brought Astoria in afterward, a little dazed.

Just when she didn't know what to say, Astoria who was by her side had already spoken one step ahead.

"Brother-in-law! You are here again!"

"You don't need to say the word You so loudly!"

Lu Yun smiled and waved to Astoria.

"Aren't you happy!" Astoria smiled and sat on the seat next to Lu Yunkai with a look of indifference.

"Get out of the way, that's where your sister is." Baron glanced at his second daughter and said in a serious tone.

"..." Astoria was stunned.

No, Dad, didn't you ask me to mess with them both yesterday?Why did you suddenly change your mind? ?
Although this one called Lu Yunkai is not really annoying, it's not that lovable either!

"Get up!" Hai Lin quickly pulled Astoria up from the seat, moved aside, and sat down beside her.

"Where's Daphne?" Baron looked at Helene and asked.

"Still changing clothes, she wants to look better." Astoria dismantled her sister's desk.

"Yeah." Baron nodded noncommittally.

The room fell silent again.

Astoria looked at her father and then at Lu Yunkai, wondering if she should follow the plan.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Daphne ran into the restaurant.

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

"Sister! You can't do it!! The festival is only at night!!"

Astoria looked at Daphne who was wearing a gorgeous lavender silk dress with an absurd expression on her face.

"It's okay." Baron looked at his daughter and nodded with a smile. "Okay, let's eat something first! I brought some food from across the ocean tonight, so don't get too full!"

"Oh? What's there? Why don't I know??" Astoria's eyes lit up.

"You will know in the evening!" Hailin pressed her daughter's leg again, and then waved her hand, and the table was immediately filled with food.

Although the decoration style of this restaurant is very similar to that of Blaise's, this lunch, which is said to be just a "stomach first", still reflects the confidence of the so-called pure-blood family.

A table full of all kinds of food is extremely rich.

Dressed up, Daphne didn't care much about eating, and tried her best to talk about interesting things in school, trying to make her parents happy.

It's just that there are not many interesting things at Hogwarts this year, and there are some worrying things, and although it is a Gryffindor who is unlucky, after all, the news about the "inheritance" has been passed through the letters of the students of Slytherin House. Parents all over...

That's why almost all the students in Slytherin College were asked to go home by their parents on Halloween this year, and their parents obviously cared about the safety of their children.

The topic, also led by Hai Lin, who realized that her husband seemed to have changed her opinion of Lu Yunkai, naturally turned to this matter.

But the problem is, neither Daphne nor Lu Yunkai is convenient to say more about this matter.Especially Daphne, I was afraid that I would accidentally leak some rumors related to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was very calm, no matter what Baron and Hailin asked, he could answer fluently: I don't know, I don't understand, we were not there, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

And Daphne's worry and bewilderment about leaking her words fell into her parents' eyes, because she was frightened by Creevey's attack. Compared with Lu Yunkai's calmness, she was a little surprised to help him in her parents' eyes Got a lot of points.

Lunch was over soon, after tidying up the restaurant, Baron, who had only talked halfway, suggested that Lu Yunkai go to the study again. Since Lu Yunkai was a guest, he could only do what he wanted, and came here again with Daphne and her father. Study room on the first floor.

But what Daphne didn't expect was that although the atmosphere in the study was quite relaxed, neither Lu Yunkai nor Baron spoke.

Baron was looking at a book that was taken off the shelf when he just entered the study, while Lu Yunkai was drinking the black tea at hand, staring in a daze at the late autumn garden view outside the study window.

She wanted the two of them to have a chat, but she was afraid that if the two of them didn't agree with each other, it might as well be as good as it is now...

In this way, after a full hour, Baron finally raised his head and looked at Lu Yunkai.

"Do you two want to go out for a walk?"

"Ah?" Daphne said to her father, "Then why did you let us in?"

"I thought it was in this book, but I seem to have misremembered it, so I have to look for it again." Baron nodded with a smile, "We'll talk about it when I find it."

"Ah? What are you looking for?" Daphne stood up just now, and before she had time to pull Yunkai up, she was taken aback when she heard Baron's words.

"Have you seen the ring hanging on Lu Yunkai's chest?"

"Well, he hung up occasionally at school. What's up?"

"Aren't you wondering where he got that ring from?"

"He said it has always been there, and he was sent to the orphanage with him. What's the matter?"

"That ring is not an ordinary thing." Baron glanced at Lu Yunkai again, "I just tested it out of curiosity, and it has a history of at least four to five thousand years."

"Four 5000 years??" Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai in confusion.

"I don't know either, don't ask me." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Aren't you curious about the origin of your ring?" Baron stood up, put the book back on the shelf, and asked Lu Yunkai.

"I just thought it was the certificate my biological parents left me to recognize my relatives in the future. I didn't think much about it. It was also this summer that I accidentally used a cleansing spell on the ring, only to find that this chain can actually be more defensive. Simple magic, that's why I started hanging it on my body as a spell protection necklace."

"No wonder you only started hanging out this year!" Daphne remembered that she hadn't seen Lu Yunkai hang up this ring last year.

"The pattern on it doesn't remind you of anything?" Baron said as he took another old and thick book from the shelf, returned to the chair, and continued to flip through it.

"Isn't it the pentagram on the flag of my homeland in the East?" Lu Yunkai picked up the ring and looked at it.

"This is not a regular pentagram, and the angles of the five angles are also different. I should have seen this pattern somewhere, but I can't remember which book it was in..."

"Dad, when you said that, I suddenly remembered! I've seen it before!" Daphne, who was beside her, stared at Lu Yunkai's chest for a while, and then suddenly let out an exclamation, interrupting Baron's words.

"Oh? Where?" Baron was taken aback.

"Wait a minute!" Daphne ran out of the study directly.

"Slow down! Be careful not to trip over the skirt!" Lu Yunkai reminded her from behind.

Without waiting for long, Daphne returned to the study.

The gorgeous and somewhat exaggerated long dress disappeared, and she changed back to the wizard robe.

In hand, holding a stone.

"Oh!! Yes!! That's it! I remembered! It's not in the book!" Excitedly, Baron threw the book in his hand onto the floor next to him, took the stone from Daphne, and looked around. After a while, he handed it to Lu Yunkai.

"...What is this?" Lu Yunkai took the stone in surprise.

The pattern carved on the stone was exactly the same as the one on his ring! !

"I unearthed this from a magic relic in the Middle East, and brought it back as a gift for Daphne." Baron nodded, "Yes, it's exactly the same."

"Indeed." Lu Yun nodded.

I gave Daphne's father a thumbs up in my heart.

Good guy, as expected of a wealthy family!To be able to find such a thing from home!It would be fine if he didn't know the origin of this symbol, but he clearly knew that this thing belonged to King Solomon.

Almost instinctively, Lu Yunkai activated the system silently.

[Estimated at three Sikes.Is it for sale? 】

A row of phantoms made Lu Yunkai calm down quickly.

Well, this is just an ordinary stone engraved with this symbol, but it's amazing to be able to take out such a thing casually at home!
"Dad, didn't you say that the ruins are related to King Solomon's secret treasure?" Daphne also looked surprised, "And you don't even know what this symbol means."

"Yes, but the ruins are only more than 2000 years old." Baron nodded seriously, "And I haven't seen similar graphics anywhere else. It seems that if necessary, I should go to the East to see."

"The year 2000 can't be said to be the only one, can it?" Lu Yunkai smiled and wanted to change the subject.

He originally came to Greengrass's house with this ring, just to bet that Daphne's father would know something about the extraordinary origin of this ring, so that he could put a layer of gold on his identity.And the fact was as he wished, Baron really saw the extraordinaryness of this ring at a glance.

But he forgot that Daphne's father was a person who was particularly interested in archeology and exploration, and he could even leave his wife and children in England, Middle East and North America for such things to run around.

This kind of person will not sit at home and guess the story, but will go to verify it for himself!
If he really went to the east and found the orphanage he used to investigate, wouldn't Lu Yunkai's forged ring be revealed every minute?Then go back to the country and look for it. It probably won't take much time to find the Muggle jewelry shop where Lu Yun opened a custom-made ring...

Careless! !
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be in a hurry to wear the ring to show off!
For the current plan, although Baron is curious about this matter, but realizes the confidentiality of this matter, he must not go out to publicize it, and then rot his curiosity in his stomach.There is no way, let them swear not to tell it, and then perform it for them just like fooling Mrs. Zabini...

But if more than three people know about a secret, it is no longer a secret!
How to do it?Lu Yunkai fell into a battle between heaven and man.

"Yun Kai, is there something you didn't tell me?"

Just when Lu Yunkai was in trouble, Daphne beside him was the first to feel that something was wrong with Lu Yunkai.

"No!"

"Why not! Once you have something on your mind, your whole body will be wrong. Your breathing will become heavy, and your eyes will start to lose sight!" Daphne pointed at Lu Yunkai, "It's a secret, can't you tell me?"

"Daphne, take this stone back and put it away." Baron spoke first.

"... Oh." Daphne looked at her father, took the stone from Lu Yunkai's hand, and walked out of the room.

Daphne walked out of the room with her front foot, and Baron cast an anti-tapping spell on the door with her back foot.

"Okay, if you have something to say, you can't tell Daphne, can you tell me?" Baron looked at Lu Yunkai with a smile.

Lu Yunkai fell silent.He can refuse to admit it, and then ask Baron to investigate.Regarding this ring, he had made some precautions. It was not so easy to find out, but there was a great risk.

Do you believe that the ending you made cannot reveal your secrets, or do you believe in the binding force of the magic oath?
Lu Yunkai felt that the latter seemed to be more reliable.After all, Mrs. Zabini has proved so well so far.

There is no need to take risks.Lu Yunkai made a decision.

"I can tell you. But you must swear that you will never tell it."

"Oh? What if I refuse?" Baron shook his head with a smile.

"Then I have no choice but to leave. Thank you sir for your hospitality." Lu Yunkai stood up directly.

Not discussed.

"Okay, I can swear." Baron smiled affirmatively, and his face became serious.

Lu Yunkai didn't answer, but directly extended his hand to Baron.

Baron froze.

for a while.

"Don't break the oath? It's interesting..."

Baron smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yunkai.
