Chapter 5: Harry's Moonlight Castle
"I'm out of the house." Muen picked up a small box, opened the door of the wilderness, and said goodbye to Harry, "Work hard, if you don't understand, find Lucifer." ”
"Yes, Uncle Muen." Harry nodded.
Seeing Muen leaving, Harry also talked to Lucifer: "Mr. Lucifer, where is Uncle Muen going?" ”
Lucifer replied lazily, "He should go and hide the castle to avoid being discovered by others." I saw him take a box of silver chalk. ”
"What is silver chalk?" Harry was curious again.
"It's chalk made with silver powder and a special binder. Silver dust is very magical, so this thing is very useful when drawing short-term magic circles. Lucifer took the trouble to explain.
"How do you want to clean up this mess." Lucifer asked suddenly.
Harry looked back, glanced at the cluttered living room, scratched his head, and said, "Stack all the books first, then remove the clutter and throw away the unwanted garbage." ”
Lucifer nodded, then suddenly remembered, "By the way, you have a colleague." ”
"Colleague?"
The sound of snorting suddenly came, and I saw that the broom that had been leaning on behind the door suddenly ran up with the broom head below, and when it met the small staircase of the entrance, it even jumped up.
"This is?!" Harry suddenly felt that he was not so surprised. For this whole castle, a walking broomstick is not surprising...
"It's a broomstick." Lucifer explained.
"Broomsticks?!" Harry's eyes widened as he stared at it, the creature was covered in dust and had a lot of cobwebs on his broomstick. It doesn't look much different from the Dursleys' broomsticks.
"That's right, this Mu En robbed before... Ahem, someone else gave him a gift. But Mu En usually doesn't use it, so let it sweep the floor when it's okay. ”
Harry suddenly couldn't help himself and stretched out his hand, but the broom suddenly twisted and avoided him.
"It's going to sweep itself. So you can throw the garbage on the ground and burn it all when the time comes. After Lucifer finished explaining, he urged, "Let's start, if you don't know what to throw away, you can ask me." ”
"Okay." Harry nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and began to clean.
Seeing this, Lucifer also slowly pursed his eyes, on weekdays, his biggest hobbies are sleeping and robbing, as well as burning.
Lately it hasn't had to do either of them, so it's usually sleeping.
Not long after he squinted his eyes, Harry's voice suddenly sounded, "Mr. Lucifer, what is this?" Is it okay to throw it? ”
Harry picked up a small stack of parchment, all of which were filled with words and symbols that Harry couldn't read, as well as some graffiti or formations.
"Those are Muen's manuscripts, you put them all together and wait for him to deal with them."
Harry nodded, put Munn's manuscript together, and began to clear the table again.
"What is this?" Harry picked up another leaf that had been flattened by the book.
"It's... It seems to be a potion material, so throw it away. ”
"What is this?"
"What is this?" Harry found another palm-sized stone pendant with a hollow hole in the middle and an eye-sized hole.
"It's the Manifestation Stone, along with the Arthur Spectle of Spect. Pagewick's Illustrated Instructions on How to Enter the Fantasy World Around You, next to your left hand." Lucifer was a little helpless, and his tone became more and more lazy.
"Of course, I don't know what you can see with it in this world, it was left by Muen from a previous adventure."
Harry was a little stunned when he heard this, and he didn't take the risk of putting his eyes on the Manifestation Stone, and honestly put things away.
During this time, Harry has been asking Lucifer all kinds of questions curiously, and although Lucifer looks lazy, he does not refuse him, obviously with enough patience.
It wasn't until Harry picked up a grimace made of a pair of skins that he was startled, and his curiosity was dispelled directly, that Lucifer cleared up.
It's just that what Harry didn't expect was why Uncle Muen, who looked so solemn and solemn, was so messy at home.
Isn't there a corresponding home magic?
If Muen had known about Harry's thoughts, he might have spread his hands apologetically, but he really didn't!
I don't know how much time had passed, but when Lucifer opened his eyes again, Harry was mopping the floor, dozens of huge books were stacked in one corner by size, and all sorts of miscellaneous items were placed on the table.
The remaining dishes and utensils in the restaurant have been brushed clean, and the sofa cushions have been thrown into the washing machine.
At the same time, there are two large bags of garbage that have been cleaned out at the door.
"Ah~ much more comfortable." Lucifer picked up the firewood on one side and put it under him, and then said with a comfortable sigh:
"Mu En, this guy used to often complain that Hal was a lazy dog. Who would have thought that soon after, he himself would become the most hated person he once had. ”
Seeing Lucifer open his eyes, Harry turned his head, "Mr. Lucifer, what is the name of this castle?" ”
"Name..."Lucifer thought for a moment, and realized that in his memory, the castle had no name.
There is even no need to name the castle.
"No name." Lucifer shook his head, "But when we were in the Caribbean before, it wasn't a castle, it was a ship, and it was called the Moonlight Queen. So you can also call this place the Moonlight Castle. ”
"The Moonlight Queen... Why is it so strange, not handsome at all. Harry felt a little strange, shouldn't the ship be named what the Trafalgar, the Sovereign, the Victory or something?!
Hearing Harry's question, Lucifer couldn't help but smile a little dumbly: "What you said, that's the royal title of ship." Pirates don't name their ships like that.
At that time, the name of the pirate ship was "Black Pearl", "Queen Anne's Revenge", and "Silent Mary". ”
"That's right," Harry nodded with some understanding.
Harry's hands and feet were quick, but the work in the living room was too much, and in the evening, Munn returned. After dinner, he walked into the basement with a bunch of books.
Harry, on the other hand, began to clean up the coal ash and chop wood for Lucifer. There was also dust accumulated in various corners, and it was not until a long time later that he was able to clean the entire living room.
Mu En walked up from the basement with a book in his hand, took out his golden pocket watch and glanced at the time, it was past ten past nine o'clock in the night.
"Looks like I don't have a chance to play magic with you today, you have to go home, boy." He said with a smile.
Harry felt a little sorry, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he enjoys it, and all kinds of books and miscellaneous items have opened the door to a new world for him.
He could feel that there were still too many secrets waiting for him to discover in the entire Moonlight Castle.
Of course, the premise is that he has to do his job well.
That's 10,000 times better than being a servant in the Dursleys!
