Chapter 467: A Gift Worth a Head
Truth be told, this gift to Luna today is the sum of most of Maca's research on ancient magic literature.
At a cursory glance, many people probably think that they have seen a large silver treasure chest with a strange shape.
On the boxy metal casing, both on the top and on the sides, a large number of densely packed, crooked symbols are engraved. And between those symbols, the zigzag lines and notches connect them according to certain rules.
Without exception, the tiny grooves of the lines and symbols are evenly coated with a special paint that channels magic.
From this alone, it can be seen that he has already come into contact with the three-dimensional structure of the rune array, and perhaps he will not be limited to the plane in the future.
And in those interiors, where the light cannot be seen from the surface, more and more elaborate rune stereotypes are seamlessly spliced, criss-crossing enough to dazzle people.
"What is this?" Luna said curiously at the large silver box resting on the floor.
"Hmm...... In fact, I haven't named it yet. Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm going to give you this opportunity along with it, and I'm sure our descendants will always remember it." ”
He spoke, pausing slightly, and then drew another ordinary wand.
"Of course, the name is put aside," Maca said with a happy smile, "I'll let you get a feel for it!" ”
With that, he reached out and flicked it at the top corner of the silver chest, and a small hole appeared there. Immediately, without hesitation, he inserted his wand vertically.
"It doesn't require too much for a wand, most wands can be used to activate it," Maca explained as she tucked it in, "but it can't be bent, it has to be straight." ”
“…… Once the wand is at the bottom, you can activate it by casting a simple wand glow charm. Like this...... Fluorescent flash. ”
With the sound of Maca's incantation, an extremely simple spell was activated. However, the wand glow spell that was supposed to emit light did not produce a single white light, but instead wisps of blue fluorescence snaked out of the line marks around the wand, and soon spread to the entire chest.
Large swaths of runes were lit up, and the entire silver box suddenly revealed a wonderful sense of mystery.
Just as Luna was amazed at this magical and beautiful scene, there was a soft "click" and a small drawer-like box appeared on the side of the silver chest.
There seemed to be some misty silver substance rippling in the box, and if you had ever seen Dumbledore's meditation basin, you would have noticed the similarities between the two.
At this moment, Maca took out a small test tube from her pocket and stuck it all on the clasp on the inside of the small box.
"Are you ready?" He turned his head to look at Luna, and after nodding his head in anticipation, he casually pushed the small drawer-like box back into the box.
Suddenly, a dreamlike silver-gray mist spread out from the silver box, instantly filling the entire bedroom.
The next moment, just when Luna was a little dazed, she noticed that her eyes suddenly opened up—endless mountains overlapped, snow stretched endlessly towards the sky, and the rising sun sowed dazzling golden light.
And now, she was standing on the back of a mountain range, and it was clear in the distance.
Looking up again, the blue sky wall seems to be within reach, and the white clouds make people faintly have the illusion of passing overhead.
Wait for her to bow her head again......
"Giants?" Luna whispered in surprise, "What a lot of giants! ”
That's right, Maca's Muggle world is a holographic stereo projector. And the impact it is playing now is part of the memories of Maca and Hagrid when they went to search for the Giant Tribe.
Because he also referenced Dumbledore's Meditation Basin when making it, these effects can be experienced as if you were there.
If what he had created at Lockhart's personal audio-visual meeting was a large rune array that resembled a magical ritual, his current silver chest was an enhanced and condensed version.
As with the sheer footprint of the Muggle world's first computer, shrinking a large array to its current size was no easy task.
In this regard, Maca also had to admit that the seemingly simple and simple meditation basin that Dumbledore possessed contained runic skills that he still could not reach.
"Isn't it interesting? I have a lot of other sights here, like the last time I saw the ptarmigan in the United States, you can look at it when you have time......"
Luna, who was observing the giants up close, heard Maca's voice in her ears, and she immediately nodded her head, regardless of whether Maca could see it or not.
"Alright, I think it's time for us to go downstairs for breakfast," Maka said with a smile, "this is a gift for you, and you'll have plenty of time to see for yourself...... Knox. ”
With that, he recited the counterspell of the wand's glowing spell, disarming the output of the mana. Soon, the gray fog in the bedroom gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of Maca and Luna.
“…… These are all memories, and when you want to read them, you can just replace the test tube I put in before, it's very simple. ”
He said as he placed a wooden box on Luna's desk.
"Did you do it yourself?" Luna said happily, even the usual trance look faded a lot, "It's so funny." ”
"Yes, but it took me a lot of effort!" Even if he is as calm as Maca, he can't help but feel a little proud.
But he didn't tell Luna about the value of this thing, not to mention its commercial prospect of making waves in the wizarding world in the future, and the cost of its production alone was enough to buy Sirius's head.
Oh! I mean...... You see, isn't the British Ministry of Magic offering Sirius a 10,000 gold Galleons? Ahem, that's just an analogy...... To use an analogy......
"Let's go! Let's go down! If you don't go down, your dad should be in a hurry......"
As Luna descended the stairs, Maca looked back at the painting again, hoping to cast a spell on it to strengthen her connection with herself, but she didn't.
Just let Luna keep writing! He would rather let her spend more energy than leave her with some irreparable hidden dangers because of a momentary touch.
Saying sorry in her heart, Maca followed in Luna's footsteps and walked down the spiral staircase.
At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the sunlight shone directly through the window next to the dining table, gilding the small living room with a layer of bright golden light.
Xenophilius was waving his wand and bringing the last jar of strawberry jam to the center of the table.
Lovegood's meal still has a certain subtlety and eerie twist on it—sandwiches with suspicious yellow vegetables, bubbling beans in purple and black, slices of roast meat from unknown creatures, and a surprisingly large fried egg.
And, of course, there's a cup of original Gordigan tea that you can taste every day.
He obviously hadn't had time to use the new recipe that Maca had given to Xenophilius, so this time, it was time for Maca's tongue to suffer a little more.
The only normal thing is probably the basket of sliced white bread.
After stuffing the inexplicably frightening-looking food into his stomach, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked with Luna to the Burrow, not far from here.
Weasley's house was built on the banks of a small river, backed by lush trees and a low hillside beneath it.
The Winter Burrow, like any other building, is covered in a layer of snow, making this strange structure, which is already unreliable, as dangerous as if it could collapse in the snow at any moment.
Of course, it can't really fall, because there's magic attached to it!
Marka and Luna walked along the frozen river for a short time, and when they saw the Burrow, they saw the two brothers Fred and George, who were laughing and playing in front of the house.
It looks like they're in a penalty station or something, but it's clear that they're not going to be punished obediently.
"Hey, Fred, George!" Maca shouted, "What's wrong with you? Early Christmas morning, pestle in front of our house and clear the snow to greet us? ”
"Oh! Maca! I don't know if it was Fred or George who called out first, "You're just in the right time!" ”
"With you, Mom won't have the time to pay attention to us!" The other tacitly continued.
“…… Good morning, guardsmen! ”
Maca walked up to the twins and casually joked.
"Good morning, sir!" Fred immediately cooperated and straightened up and saluted.
George immediately ran to the other side of the door and said with a wicked smile, "Password, sir!" ”
Seeing him smile like this, Maca knew that if they didn't say something that worked, they would definitely be playing tricks again. But this little Christmas drama was provoked by him on his own initiative, and he couldn't back down first.
"Ahem......" Maca cleared her throat in a serious manner, while Luna stood by and looked at them interestingly.
"You can't get in without a password! Mr! Fred smirked.
"Of course I have the password," Maca laughed, "'I don't have a gift for next year'—I guess that's right, right?" ”
"Oh, hey!" George and Fred glanced at each other, and immediately rubbed their hands together with a sneer, "The little one didn't know that the Duke was coming, please—please come in—"
The two of them bowed slightly, opened the door of the Burrow at the same time, and stretched out their hands to invite, "Please come inside!" Lord Duke, Duchess—"
"Hey, George! You've robbed me of my lines! Fred immediately straightened up and said dissatisfied.
