Chapter 120: The Basement of the Cabin

In fact, Luke himself couldn't explain why he felt a sense of belonging to such a place.

Although the temperature here is like spring all year round, the vegetation is evergreen, the mountains are full of water, and it is full of vitality, but after all, this place is just a hut, and the only living creatures that are active all year round are snakes.

Maybe it's just worth a long time.

Luke muttered to himself. He really couldn't think of anything else.

But a little sense of belonging isn't a bad thing, and he can't expect to be like a player, trying to change the world while not fitting in. No one is stupid, you are out of place in the whole world, and you still expect to be able to communicate with others? Think of something bad?

If that's the case, don't talk about any friendship, just talk about transactions.

Thinking of this, Luke walked to his hut, and the snakes, after seeing Luke, did not stay here and soon dispersed. Despite the magical protection, the temperature has remained relatively constant, neither hot nor cold. But after all, it's winter, and snakes still don't like to move.

Being able to assemble Luke in the time between his walk into the forest and his arrival at the hut was a testament to their mobility and loyalty.

Ask them to spend Christmas with Luke? Spare them. No matter how smart they are, they're just a bunch of snakes. Acting as a guard can still do it. Let them be a group of family members who can give you warmth. That's a big deal!

Either way, this Christmas Eve, Luke was destined to live by himself.

Fortunately, he had been alone for many years before, and before he crossed over from his previous life, the only feeling he had on Christmas Eve was that someone gave an apple and someone apple. So he doesn't have any special obsession with this festival.

But no problem.

【Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for its first Christmas after fully activating the system, and at the same time, because the host took the initiative to complete the task after fully activating the system. A Christmas gift package is now distributed as an encouragement. Make persistent efforts to the host, never forget the original intention, Merry Christmas. 】

【Ding Dong! The gift pack has been stored in the system warehouse, please pay attention to check. 】

Luke:......

"Tsk, it's nice to have a holiday."

Luke sighed with a serious and sincere face.

But he didn't rush to open the gift package, he saved up a bunch of various task rewards and achievement rewards in the system. Sometimes I can't afford to do it when I'm busy. But fortunately, they can't be lost there, and Luke doesn't care about them, and when he's happy, he can open two to help him up, or suppress his happiness.

The latter is the majority.

Not all of what the system gives is useful. For example, the company's operating guidelines. You say it's useless, it works. You say it works, it's not really impossible to buy in the Muggle world.

After all, that Squib business genius who is loyal to the Gaunt family is a living textbook in itself.

It's a pity that he is a squib, and he can only play a guiding role in Luke's industries in the wizarding world, and it is impossible to operate it himself. Not even with Gaunt's reputation.

Filch's work is already enough to make most Squibs envious, the best job.

And this kind of work, in the eyes of the vast majority of wizards, is just not in the stream.

At the same time, things that didn't seem strange before suddenly felt strange.

Raymond Sacco, Squib, one of the great capitalists of the Muggle world. In recent years, it has turned into a behind-the-scenes situation, and a large number of shares have been held by others, and they have become more and more low-key. But in the ears of some knowledgeable people, the name is like thunder.

He was surrounded and suppressed by many "friends and businessmen" back then, and he was able to survive, and in the eyes of some people, Raymond's life is a huge legend.

In the face of encirclement and suppression, it was naturally the help of the Gaunt family. Raymond has been helping the Gaunt family earn money from the beginning. Someone helped him hold the shares on his behalf, but most of the shares in his hands were still held by the Gaunt family.

Luke's parents died so early that he didn't even have an impression of Raymond taking care of the young Luke like an old butler.

But because he's a squib, he can't even live in this forest permanently. So Luke grew up alone in the forest since he was a child.

It's just that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Communication with Raymond relied more on letters.

But now that I think about it, there are so many things that are wrong.

As one of the natural leaders of purebloodism, Gaunt sought out a Squib as a vassal to help them expand their power in the Muggle world.

In this sentence, the first half of the sentence and the second half of the sentence are not related to the word reasonable.

And Luke analyzed it and knew that Raymond either didn't know anything about such a question, or he would never tell the truth when he asked this question himself.

It was hard for him to imagine that when he asked Raymond this question, Raymond gave his own answer calmly. When he asked why he didn't say it before, Raymond said to himself, "You didn't ask." ”

The style of painting will be wrong.

For some people, it seems that there are many secrets, and it is not good for people to tell them. Dumbledore, that old Riddler, was like that. Of course, those forbidden knowledge that he hid in his heart could really be harmful to people when he said it?

Luke himself can't say for sure, but this kid is tough when he is young, and I will check the things I can't ask myself.

Whoever walks through will leave a trace. Luke didn't believe that there was anything else that he had bothered to look up and couldn't find out why.

Of course, what if there is?

Pull down the bottom and ask. What else can I do...... Face is worth a few dollars in some important secrets.

So Luke didn't think too much about it, and just walked straight into his small bedroom.

Although the area of the bedroom has been extended infinitely, it still doesn't look too big, the position of the bed occupies more than half of the space, and at a glance, the most expensive thing in the whole room feels like the bed.

It's not that other things aren't expensive. Instead, it is a bed made of precious stones and gold threads, a futon sewn from a fabric that is full of magic, and a bed made of wood that exudes the breath of life...... The value of this bed is too high, and it seems that nothing else is expensive.

It can only be said that the people of the Gunter family are very concerned about the quality of their sleep.

But Luke didn't have the idea of falling asleep now, and went straight to a large box in the corner of his room.

The hand on the snake head on the box twisted slightly, and there was a crisp "click" sound from the inside of the box.

Then Luke opened the lid of the box and saw a staircase going down the stairs. Luke climbed into the box and walked slowly.

After he went down, the serpentine head on the outside of the box swung back again, and then at the top of the staircase there was a pile of gorgeous clothes, and some scattered jewels rose up from below, filling the whole chest. After that, the lid of the box closed on its own, and everything was calm.

And Luke, who entered below, looked at the library in front of him, which was smaller than the Hogwarts library, but only one size smaller, with a calm expression on his face.

He didn't think it was too big before, and even when he entered Hogwarts and saw the Hogwarts library, he felt that the Hogwarts library was not as big as he thought.

Hermione asked him why. He said that his library was a little smaller than this library, but it was only a little smaller.

Then Hermione asked him to think about it. Whether it's because the library at Hogwarts is too small, or because the storage room at home is too big.

Serpentine magic lamps illuminate the place as if it were daytime. Luke also knew that these snake-shaped magic lamps were not only magic lamps, but also the defense facilities of this library storeroom.

Once someone breaks into the storage room, it will not end well.

As for what doesn't count as a break-in...... Luke hadn't figured it out yet. If the contents of the treasure trove were left over from many years ago, then this library is standard and passed down from generation to generation. To speak of the forbidden knowledge. There's a lot more here than in the treasure trove.

Standing at the entrance to the treasury, Luke picked up a thin slate on the table at the entrance.

There are a few simple entries engraved on it, such as "history", "knowledge of biological magic", "political methods", and "charmology". These entries only occupy most of the top of the slate, and there is still a part of the blank space, as if waiting to be filled.

Luke searched the slate, scanned the one he needed among the top few entries, and then stretched out his finger and pressed it to inject magic.

With a flash of light, Luke vanished from where he was.

Luke's eyes shifted, and he saw the sign hanging on the bookshelf to his left.

"Family Notes"

This is the name of this collection. It can be seen that, in addition to the large number of bookshelves that are filled, more bookshelves are still empty, as if waiting to be filled by future generations.

Luke didn't immediately step into the bookshelf. After placing the slate on the small table beside him, he first looked at the line below the title, which was familiar, but had previously been only a joke.

"We hide our secrets here. But don't just look through our diaries! Unless you really need to. ”

The words "unless you really need it" are especially small. You can't even see it if you don't look closely. And "But don't just look through our diaries!" "A few words and a lot of words. The exclamation mark even used red handwriting.

These diaries may be related to the privacy of the ancestors, or there may be some danger. Before, Luke had just laughed it off. Seriously, some of their diaries are quite fun, but more of them are running accounts.

The heirs of the Gaunt family are all grammatical. Even if it is a running account, it can be written in the same beautiful style and emotional as prose.

But a journal is a journal, and a diary is a thing...... How much is true and how much is false, who knows.

Luke doesn't keep a diary anyway, but based on his perception of himself, he doesn't think that the diary he writes will be very objective.

Exaggeration and self-aggrandizement are inevitable. If you are human, you are almost not exempt from vulgarity.

Looking at these diaries, firstly, the tall image of the ancestors is easy to be corrupted, and secondly, there are really no other records and some family-related secrets and interesting.

The latter can be read as an adventure story, or as a horror story. It is also an important prop for Luke to pass the boredom when he was a child.

But for now, Luke had to dig through his diary. The time when the ancestors began to write their diaries was inconsistent, and Luke didn't know if he would be able to find the information he was looking for.

Still, he walked in and began to look for the name that Nicol Lemay had in mind.

Jess Gaunt.

Actually, it's not that hard to find. While every generation can fill a bookshelf, it's still not a huge sea of books.

After all, it is almost passed down from generation to generation, do you expect such a family to have many people?

There aren't many branches to be counted.

So it didn't take much effort for Luke to find the bookshelf that Jace Gaunt had left behind.

It's a bookcase that's full. The life of this ancestor looks quite magnificent. As for the diary, Luke fell into deep thought after reading a little.

Diary close to two rows...... The...... How did an ancestor do it?

Luke looked at the diaries and felt a little headache for a moment. It looks like he's going to be tormented by those flashy grammar and baseless boasting for a while.

And this amount ...... It's not like you can finish it all over a Christmas holiday.

But at this point, Luke could only pull out his wand and let the diaries float down from the shelves, and then manipulate them to fly with him, and then walk out of the bookshelf, and when he returned to the small table, picked up the slate and clicked again.

In the next moment, both Luke and the book returned to the hall where they had started.

Luke placed the book on the large desk not far away, and then prepared to return to the small table and set up the slate. This is an important index. Although the ancestors had a way of repairing and rebuilding, there was too much high-end magic involved.

Luke decided to keep it safe, not to lose it, let alone break it.

But before he could put the slabs in place, he heard the screeching sound of the serpentine magic lamps.

Luke's expression changed. This is a sign that someone has approached the hut but has an aura of their own, which is believed to be a sign that they have a friend visiting.

"Who could it be?"

With this question in mind, Luke walked towards the exit.

Luke's movements were quick, and it didn't take long for him to appear at the door.

Then he saw Gemma, who was besieged by snakes and could not enter an inch not far from the hut.

Gemma was carrying a food box, and the expression on her face was somewhat embarrassed.

"I want to surprise you, knowing that there should be no one in your house." Gemma looked around, and the colorful strip-like creatures were still quite uncomfortable, "But I didn't expect that there would be so many ...... in your family Friend. ”

Luke froze, then laughed.
