Chapter 193 A Flash of Inspiration

It must be said that Krum, who looks rude and stubborn, does seem to have some inner talent.

"I went to accompany my girlfriend."

"But I didn't see you bring her here today."

"Actually, I came here to find some creatures." Lu Yunkai did not hide it and said directly.

"Vampire? Werewolf? Or giant?" Krum gave the classic three-choice option.

"If I want to find vampires, I'll go to Romania." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "Werewolves... I've seen them in Hogwarts."

"You have giants in Hogwarts, too! The gamekeeper." Krum also laughed, "So what are you here for?"

"Looking for giants. Real giant tribes. I heard there are in Bulgaria."

"Of course. And I know where they live." Krum nodded, "But why are you looking for them? They are very hostile to ordinary wizards."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because wizards bully them!" When Krum said this, his tone was a little disdainful and a little pitying, "Because of the International Statute of Secrecy."

"...The law that prohibits wizards from revealing their identities in front of Muggles?"

"Yes!" Krum nodded, "Wizards themselves cannot reveal their whereabouts in front of Muggles, let alone giants, werewolves, vampires and the like."

"Is that so..." Lu Yunkai also understood.

Wizards have to abide by the secrecy law, and naturally they will ask giants who are also involved in magic to abide by it...

Isn't this the same as using wizards' laws to ask giants? There must be something fishy if there is no enmity.

"So, what exactly are you looking for giants for?" After seeing Lu Yunkai understand the relationship between wizards and giants, Krum continued to ask, "If there is no need, and you are just curious, I don't recommend you to go."

"Why is it unnecessary! The curse on my girlfriend is likely related to the giants."

"Curse?? Don't make fun of me!" Krum laughed, "If giants can be related to curses, I will never play Quidditch in my life!"

"...Why can't there be a connection?"

"Your gamekeeper...well, and Madam Maxime." Krum said with a smile, "They do use magic, but that's only because they are giants of mixed blood with humans. Pure giants cannot use magic. They don't have any magical talent. Such a group of people...you are talking to me about curses? Don't make fun of me!"

"I still want to go and see." Lu Yunkai was not surprised by this.

Because Baron had said the same thing to Lu Yunkai.

"Okay!" Seeing Lu Yunkai's insistence, Krum said nothing more, "But I have some things to do in the Federation recently, so I don't have time to take you there..."

"I will be very grateful if you give me the address so that I don't have to look for it all over the world." Lu Yunkai said sincerely.

In fact, even if you want to go with me, I won't take you! Lu Yunkai said silently in his heart.

"Okay!" Krum nodded, "Then I'll check it out tomorrow during the day, and I'll have a dinner party at home tonight. I'll give you the address then... and introduce my fiancée..."

"Fiancée? Wait a minute!!" Lu Yunkai was stunned, his expression became strange, "You have a fiancée? Then you were with Hermione when you were in Hogwarts..."

"We met on a blind date a week ago." Krum waved his hand and explained, "Although Hermione is a very good girl, she is still studying in England, and I can't go there like Furong. And my family heard that I wanted a Muggle-born witch as a girlfriend, so they forced me to go on a blind date with a witch from a pure-blood family..."

"Then do they have any objections to you associating with a Muggle-born wizard like me?"

"You are not a Muggle-born, you are from Slytherin College! And... aren't you a member of the Magical Apothecary Association!" Krum said with a smile, "They can't wait for me to interact with you more!"

"...Okay!" Lu Yunkai smiled speechlessly.

"Then see you tomorrow!" Krum stood up.

"See you tomorrow!"

...

The next day, Lu Yunkai wandered around Sofia as a Muggle for a whole day, and then in the evening, he came to Krum's home.

A small house that is not luxurious, but quite cozy.

According to Krum, this is the house he bought with his bonus as a Bulgarian Quidditch player.

Although it is not big, it is quite cozy, which is also the style that Lu Yunkai likes.

And this dinner, Lu Yunkai ate more comfortably than the dinner party set up by the Federation the day before.

Krum's blind date, who is also his fiancée, is very kind like him. Although she is not beautiful (in fact, Lu Yunkai does not think Hermione is beautiful), she is very likable.

I can only say that Hermione's loss is not unfair...

Well, as a person who is closer to Hermione than Krum, Lu Yunkai also knows that Hermione does not have the same feelings for Krum as Daphne does for Lu Yunkai.

It was just a liking caused by ordinary appreciation... probably similar to the way Parvati liked Lu Yunkai?

So Lu Yunkai also called her Mrs. Krum without any hesitation...

After the dinner, while "Mrs. Krum" was cleaning up, Krum gave Lu Yunkai the information and location of the giant colony he had found in the Federation during the day.

"These big guys really don't like wizards." Krum still gave Lu Yunkai some unnecessary advice, "and except for a few, most giants don't have good brains. They will attack humans unreasonably, especially wizards. You should be prepared and don't encounter any danger, but it's best not to hurt the lives of giants. After all, there are many people in the current Wizard Union who sympathize with them. I will be in trouble then."

"Don't worry."

Lu Yunkai smiled and accepted the parchment with the location marked.

"There is another thing. When I was checking the location of the giant tribe today, the official in charge of this area asked me to ask you." Krum glanced at the back of his fiancée who was packing things in the kitchen, and lowered his voice, "He asked me to ask... Did you come to find the giants on your own initiative or on someone else's initiative."

"...What do you mean?" Lu Yunkai was stunned.

"More than ten or twenty years ago." Krum glanced at his fiancée again. "The giants were once allies of the mysterious man. They also sent some people to England to support his activities for the pure-blooded wizards... and you are from Slytherin College..."

"Don't worry, it's me. Didn't I tell you, it's for the curse on Daphne!"

"The problem is that these giants have no magical talent at all! I told him what you said, and he also took it as a joke." Krum was a little helpless, "I said you would never give up unless you go and see it yourself, and I told him everything about you and Daphne, and he reluctantly stopped asking."

"...Thanks."

"But can you tell me the truth, it's really not the mysterious man who asked you to contact the giants?" Krum lowered his voice again.

"Really not." Lu Yunkai looked calm.

He didn't know I was coming to Bulgaria at all!

"That's good." Krum nodded, "Although compared with Grindelwald, the mysterious man is just squatting in England, and has little impact on us, but..."

"Don't worry."

Lu Yunkai smiled and made a promise.

…

The wizarding world records places differently from the Muggle world, so naturally they don’t need longitude and latitude. However, Lu Yunkai feels that the wizarding world does have a huge innate advantage over Muggles in terms of navigation.

The parchment that Krum gave to Lu Yunkai is a navigator. After leaving Krum’s house, Lu Yunkai rode on his flying broom without delay and followed the guidance of the parchment to find the nearest giant tribe marked on the map.

In fact, he didn’t plan to be so anxious.

As a “public” visit, Lu Yunkai naturally couldn’t bring Chris with him, but he didn’t bring it with him when he went to the Sinai Peninsula before. After returning, Chris was very sarcastic, saying things like “You can’t find anything without me”, which made Lu Yunkai’s head hurt.

So this time, Lu Yunkai and Chris agreed that he would come to Bulgaria through formal channels, while Chris would find a way to come by herself, and then they would go to find the giants together.

But Lu Yunkai felt guilty after being muttered by Krum.

Some weird and bold ideas in his mind could not be suppressed... He wanted to finish the business before these ideas became completely feasible plans.

He came to remove the curse for Daphne, not to use Voldemort's tiger skin to expand his power!

But this sudden idea seemed a bit tempting!

Otherwise, give it a try? Anyway, it's on the way!
