Chapter 610: There Are Two People in This Memories......
Luna dragged Ivan out the door as she slowly recounted the experience to him.
As he listened, Ivan learned a little about Luna's childhood.
The Novgoods are all workaholics and research freaks through and through,
Xenophilius is the editor-in-chief of the magazine Contrarian, and in his spare time he likes to study strange rumors, as well as insects in the wizarding world.
The little witch's mother was keen on the study and improvement of spells, and spent the rest of her time on this except for housework and teaching Luna.
"During that time, the business of the newspaper was not very good, so my father had a headache and worried about finding hot news materials every day...... But his readers don't always buy it, and if it continues, the family will not be able to make ends meet. β
"It just so happens that my mother is working on a new type of Demolition Spell, and if she succeeds, it will be big news!"
Luna's ethereal voice reached his ears in the breeze, and Ivan looked at the mother and daughter who had left the hut, and then at Xenophilius, who had remained in the studio to write the manuscript.
"And doesn't your dad know about it?" Ivan asked curiously.
"She won't let me talk to my father......" Luna shook her head, this spell was very dangerous, there was a small mistake in the previous experiment, and my mother was almost injured, so her parents had a rare quarrel.
Xenophilius did not approve of his wife's such dangerous research.
However, Ivan wondered why Luna's mother was taking her daughter with her during the experiment, so she didn't worry about the spell getting out of control.
Could it be as an assistant to record some data? But Luna is too young, right?
Ivan's doubts were quickly answered.
The witch took her childhood Luna into the woods not too far from home, and after casting an iron charm on herself, she took out a package and handed it to her daughter, telling her to stand farther away.
The sharp-eyed Ivan noticed that the package contained some green potions, and with his knowledge of potions, he could tell at a glance that it was specifically designed to treat burns.
It can be inferred from this that the other party is using Luna as the last insurance.
Apparently the witch also understands the dangers of experimentation and is always vigilant.
Generally speaking, the protection of the Iron Charm and the potions of special healing are enough for most emergencies, not to mention the young Luna watching from the sidelines, and if something happens, she can always run back and notify Xenophilius to come over.
"Mother said that this was the last experiment, and that her spell was about to be completed...... "Luna looked at the scene in amazement, and sighed sadly.
Ivan didn't know how to consol,
Just as Ivan had predicted, at the last word, the witch's blasting spell went completely out of control!
The magic that was supposed to be aimed at the enemy finally devoured itself, and the burst of fire illuminated the dense forest, and a huge explosion resounded in the sky.
The defense of the Iron Armor Charm did not play its due role in the face of this force, and was easily torn apart, and the witch's body was thrown up like a flying catkins, and when she fell to the ground, she was completely lifeless.
The corpse was cloudy and blurry, and Ivan estimated that it was due to Luna's psychic shock, which forced the blurring of the memory of his mother's death.
He can imagine what a psychological shadow it would be for a nine-year-old girl to witness her mother die in an explosion.
Thinking of this, Ivan turned his head to look over, and the young Luna had a frightened and sluggish expression on her face, and she staggered to the witch's corpse, and stood there, shouting something in a low voice, and stretched out her hands, but she did not dare to touch them.
Poor makes Ivan a little worried.
A few seconds later, Xenoplius, who heard the explosion, appeared in a phantom, kneeling madly in front of the witch's corpse, crying bitterly and shouting something loudly.
Ivan couldn't hear clearly, thinking that Luna couldn't remember it when she was young.
"I'm sorry!" Ivan sighed and said that if he had chosen once, he would never have asked Luna to practice this kind of magic.
"It's not your fault, I want to see her again......" Luna pursed her lips and shook her head, even if it was only in memory.
"My father also told me that as long as I am willing to believe, I will definitely have the opportunity to see my mother again in the future, not just in my memory or in my dreams...... He won't lie to me! Neverβ" Luna's melodious voice echoed through the forest.
Ivan stopped talking, the resurrection of the dead is not impossible in the wizarding world, but it is very difficult to save a witch who died in an explosion five years ago, almost zero.
Xenophilius is undoubtedly deceiving Luna, giving her an illusory hope as a spiritual pillar in the hope that time will heal the wounds.
Ivan could tell that Luna probably really believed it, or could it only be so......
The story continues, and after Luna's mother died, there was no laughter in Lovegood's mansion.
Xenophilius devoted himself to the study of those legends in order to forget his pain, and he was not good at housework, and he made a mess of the mansion, relying on magic to organize it simply.
Although he still cares for Luna, he is busy with research and work, and he really can't spend much time with his daughter.
In the absence of playmates of the same age, the jungle became Luna's childhood destination!
Like the elves in Muggle stories, young witches with long pale blonde hair roam alone in the jungle.
She knew every animal in the forest, could clearly call out their scientific names, and even named a deer and a few squirrels, and her greatest pleasure was to find creatures in the jungle that she had never seen before.
Every time you find a new creature, it's like finding a treasure for the little witch.
"Oh, by the way, Dad said there were scimitar-horned snorers here, but they were probably too scared of me to show their faces." Luna said regretfully.
Ivan looked at Luna, and although the little witch's face was very peaceful, even a little nostalgic, he still felt the deep loneliness in it.
"Do you feel lonely then?" Ivan couldn't help but ask, and then felt that his question was too stupid and a little prickly.
"Sometimes, not now......" Luna nodded, shook her head again, and chuckled.
Ivan looked at her confusedly, unable to understand what Luna meant.
The little witch's expression was a little dazed, she turned her head and stared at Ivan with a pair of bright eyes, "There are already two people in this memory, aren't they?" β
