Chapter 119: Bloody Barro, ‘Caught in Bed’
This was the first time that Luo Fu had heard of the so-called wizard blood curse, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.
After all, it is well known that compared to Muggles, it is difficult for wizard heirs.
It’s not that many wizards don’t want to have a second, third, or even n child, but they really can’t!
Most of the prominent surnames that existed thousands of years ago were not destroyed by wars or vendettas, but suddenly died out in a certain generation, leading to the eventual demise of the entire family.
This is true for Peverell, Slytherin or Hufflepuff family!
There are also some wizard families that suddenly become prosperous in a certain generation, but they will not spread out. Instead, within one or two generations, due to various "accidents", the bloodline will rapidly decrease, and finally a single lineage will be passed down again.
One or two examples can be said to be coincidences, but if this is generally the case, there is a high probability that as Ravenclaw said... there is a curse.
Just like Defense Against the Dark Arts, all teachers serve for less than one year. You say that's just a coincidence. Why not coincidentally lead to the position of Minister of Magic?
(Fudge: Thank you so much!)
Helena sang in an ethereal, pure voice: "All the gifts given by fate have been marked in secret."
"Magic is a gift to humanity, and curses are the price to be paid."
Luofu thought for a long time and asked a key question: "Who cursed the wizard's bloodline?"
Being able to curse an entire race is not an ordinary power. Not even Dumbledore and Voldemort can do it, right?
"I don't know either." Helena shook her head and said a little embarrassedly:
"This is what my mother said when she and Hufflepuff were playing wizard chess. I wasn't interested in these things. I got bored after hearing a few words and walked away..."
"..."
You find it annoying that two great wizards are chatting about the secrets of the magical world?
Rolf sighed. He just felt that Ravenclaw, who is known for his wisdom, could actually give birth to such a smart girl. Is it true that the delivery room didn't give birth to the wrong baby?
But then again, as beautiful as Helena, it seems that it doesn't matter whether she is smart or not, as long as she knows how to run home on a rainy day.
Rolf looked at the old Gaunt house in the distance. The weeds on the roof were fluttering stubbornly in the wind. He said softly: "Okay, I'm going back to school."
"Go back now?" Helena asked.
"Yes, if you go faster, maybe you can make it in time for lunch at school." Roof glanced at Helena and said, "What's the matter, do you have anything else to do?"
Helena nodded, and after a moment of silence, she whispered: "I want to go to the hot springs...can you come with me?"
"..."
Luo Fu was a little helpless to complain. You are a ghost who has been dead for a thousand years. Can you feel the temperature of the water when you soak in any hot spring?
Of course, the young man was not interested in bathing with the female ghost. When he was about to turn around and leave, Helena said in a soft voice:
"Rolf, I know that there is a ferocious water earthworm under that hot spring, and it often attacks Muggles in nearby villages... Are you sure you don't want to go?"
Luofu's face was expressionless, even a little disdainful.
You're just a water worm, and you want me to betray my appearance and take a hot spring bath with you?
Do you look down on me, Scamander, too much? !
The young man stopped suddenly. He picked up the box in his hand, turned to look at Helena, and said with a smile:
"Come on, lead the way."
…
…
In the middle of a forest, there is a natural underground hot spring that fills a small pool. The water in the pool is steaming, and the edges of the pool are covered with moss.
Luofu sat on the shore and stretched out his hand to fiddle with the hot spring. The water surface rippled. The water temperature was just right and it was indeed suitable for a bath.
Now that he knows the location, he can bring people here to soak in the hot springs in the future.
Helena, who had already entered the water, urged: "Rolf, come down quickly, the water worms are under the water."
Rolf was a little hesitant, but considering that Helena was dead and just a ghost, he had nothing to be shy about. He quickly took off his robe and shoes, wearing only shorts, and dived into the water.
Luofu took out a piece of golden scale. It was warm, like life, shining with golden light, shining brighter than gold.
This golden scale was peeled off from Myrcella and given to Rolf as a gift. As long as it is held in the mouth, one can breathe in the water.
The young man held the golden scale in his mouth, plunged towards the water, and quickly dived into the water. Helena appeared beside him and guided: "The water worm is over there."
Luofu swam under the water and found a water earthworm more than four meters long on the edge of a boulder rooted in the water.
The water earthworm is a very ferocious magical creature. When it is a larvae, it is as thick as a human arm. When it reaches adulthood, it becomes very violent.
Of course, its most famous feature is its tenacious vitality. Even if its body is cut into more than a dozen pieces, it can still grow back.
Luofu looked at the water worm, and there was a sudden "ding" in his brain.
[A wild water earthworm was detected, triggering side task 1:]
Capturing water worms will reward you with magic:
[Rebirth of broken limbs]
[By consuming a large amount of magic power to promote the continuous proliferation of cells, damaged organs can be regenerated]
【Side mission 2】
100% domestication of water earthworms, bonus magic:
【Eat dirt】
[By eating soil, you can absorb organic matter in the soil and maintain the survival of life]
Luo Fu glanced at the system tasks. Although he used to complain about eating dirt every day, he didn't want to really eat dirt.
The four-meter-long water earthworm was indeed very irritable. When it saw Luo Fu, it suddenly jumped up and opened its mouth towards him, its teeth as sharp as saw teeth.
Luo Fu opened his five fingers and grabbed out of thin air. A water dragon the length of his arm condensed on his side.
The water dragon pounced on the water earthworm, and its body became bigger and bigger.
One meter, three meters, ten meters.
A huge whirlpool appeared in the whole pool.
The water earthworm had realized that something was wrong. It wanted to stop, but the water dragon jumped up and hit it, knocking it to the bottom of the water.
The water dragon chased after it, pressed down fiercely with one claw, and slowly lowered its head.
Luo Fu swam to the vicinity of the water dragon, looked down at the water earthworm curled up under the water dragon's claws, and couldn't help but smile.
Capture completed!
Helena appeared beside the boy and exclaimed: "Rolf, you are much better than two years ago."
"Not bad." Rolf smiled. He had completed too many tasks in the past two years, and his strength was much stronger than before.
"Rolf, with your current strength, you are enough to enter my mother's tomb, and there will be absolutely no danger." Helena asked again: "When do you want to go?"
Rolf did not speak. He was actually very resistant to this matter, so he had been evasive.
Helena obviously felt it too. She lowered her eyes and said:
"Rolf, do you know why I came to the hot spring even though I am dead?"
Rolf shook his head.
"Because when I was alive, I often took a hot spring bath with my mother. I like this big pool, this hot and steamy environment." Helena sighed:
"So, I often come here to evoke my memories of the past."
"But in fact, I can't remember the feeling of being alive anymore."
Rolf was silent.
"Rolf, please help me." Helena pleaded:
"I know... you have been perfunctory to me, and you have no intention of resurrecting me. But you are the person predicted by Cassandra Trelawney."
"As long as you are willing, I can give you everything I have... I am all yours."
Helena floated in the water and gently took off her long dress. She was wearing thin underwear inside, but you could still see her breasts as tender as peeled lychees.
"..."
Rolf sighed. Did he start to use seduction?
After a while, the boy floated back to the surface again, and he was suddenly stunned.
The Bloody Baron was standing on the shore. He looked at the naked Rolf, and then looked at Helena who emerged from the bottom of the water and was still adjusting her collar...
Baron's eyes turned red instantly.
