Chapter 439: The Journey
The so-called life is actually a journey again and again.
You can see a lot on the way to the distance, and when you are resting, you can also experience it differently.
The farthest journey in Luke's life was undoubtedly a long journey from one world to another. All the achievements of the other world, all the shackles must be thrown behind. Fortunately, he can see it, and there is nothing to be reluctant to.
And rest...... Luke hasn't rested much since he came into this world.
originally thought that his plan was perfect, but he never expected that he would encounter some unimaginable things one after another.
For example......
"No one thought that no one would have thought that my parents, who had long been considered dead, would still be alive?"
Luke was lying alone on his big bed, looking at the ceiling with a blank expression.
Ever since he fully accepted himself, he had become very unconcerned about some things, but very concerned about others.
Many things from the previous life can be completely let go. But correspondingly. Those people who are related to the current body have become living bonds.
The fact that his parents were still alive made him feel a little confused and overwhelmed.
"Perhaps, it's really my long-lost brother?"
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself.
After all, if you really want to talk about it, he still prefers this speculation. Not to mention anything else, the long-lost brother is better to accept than his parents who haven't taken care of him for so many years.
It's okay if your parents haven't heard from you for more than ten years, but if you haven't come to you for more than ten years without any accidents, then it's okay...... Forget it, it's good to be alive.
Luke sighed, then looked at the cat and snake beside him.
The owl is not by his side, and the owl is now resident on Gemma's side. So that Gemma can send a message to herself. Anyway, Luke still doesn't know how these owls in the wizarding world are trained. They were able to easily find the recipient no matter where they were.
It is important to know that not every recipient's address can be controlled by the sender.
Of course, the average owl just puts the letter in the mailbox. But the owl you own is the one who can find your own owner.
It can only be said that there are too many magical methods in the wizarding world, and the owl cannot escape the fate of being squeezed.
So, when I go out this time, I have to take these two little guys with me.
He wasn't going to bring anyone else with him to find the location of the red dot. But it doesn't mean that he wants to face these loneliness and pressure alone.
Bringing the two little ones with him, for himself, is a kind of relaxation.
"But...... Let's put it on for two days first......
Luke rolled over, put the quilt on his body, looked out the window at the moonlight, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, Luke woke up early and opened his eyes. Calmly, dressed in an orderly manner, and then entered his own library.
On the slate, Luke wrote down two options: "Map of the World" and "Robert Gaunt's Diary".
Then Luke walked to the side of the large desk, and a large parchment map flew from the bookshelves to Luke's front and spread out.
The overall shape of the map is very similar to that of the Muggle world map. However, the division of countries and the like cannot be completely equivalent.
For example, in the map of North America, the location that should have belonged to the United States has been divided into several parts. The most conspicuous of these is the League of Nobles, while the other divisions are not named.
In addition to these, although this map can be rolled up, it is a place where it should be a mountain, a depression where it should be a valley, and a rippling water where it should be a sea...... Rather than a pure map, it's more like a topographic map that includes spheres of influence.
Luke looked at the map and shook his head.
This map is much more detailed than the maps of the wizarding world sold on the market, and it is too easy to use
Much more. But when it comes to magic, Luke still thinks the Living Point map is even more magical. After all, it's a map that can be used to monitor the entire range.
The map in front of me hasn't been updated for a long time. Only a handful of Muggle cities have a marker on it. Luke looked at the huge world and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"It's a big project."
The bloodline compass is able to point out the direction of the other party. But Luke still thinks you can't go on the road blindly. You have to plan a little ahead. So he decided to take a look at the positions where the suspicion was greater.
It's fine if it's still within Europe. But if ...... It's really far away......
At that moment, several diaries flew from the shelves to Luke's desk, neatly stacked, waiting for Luke to flip through them.
Luke glanced at the diaries. This is the diary of his father, Robert Gaunt. He has been, never seen it.
The journal lay there silently, but Luke hesitated again.
His plans have now exploded. Although it doesn't mean that you can't leave him. But taking care of yourself is always a little more reassuring.
So...... Leave behind your plans that are in full swing and venture out to find your parents who have been missing for years. Is it a wise choice?
"Damn, this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with the main story......
Luke recalls the main quest the system gave him. To be honest, in the current situation, this main quest is indeed whether there is a parent or not.
But...... Can you really give up and not look for it?
If Luke could really see so clearly, then if he made up his mind decisively, of course, he would not have the current entanglement. But with this kind of thing in front of you, can you really make an easy choice?
Luke fell silent. But after a moment of silence, the blankness in his eyes narrowed. Remove the Bloodline Compass from the system space and place it on the map. Then the index finger of the left and right hands is placed on the two corners of the map, and it is constantly enlarged and expanded.
Eventually, the hut appears in the center of the map.
Luke placed the compass on the hut, then took a quill that had been placed on the table, did not dip it in ink, and drew a long line on the map in the direction indicated by the compass.
Then, instead of swiping the map immediately, Luke sat back in his chair, picked up a journal, and read it.
He had read the diaries of many ancestors. Jace Gaunt's diary is the most read. But to be fair, Luke never felt like a true funman. He's not very interested in other people's black histories.
So I don't have much interest in reading diaries. There are so many books in the library, and it is obviously more useful to exclude these relatively watery diaries, those organized travelogues, personal biographies, and the like.
But now, in order to find clues that his father may have left behind, he decided to look at his father's diary. From the very beginning, try to find some meaningful information.
For example, since childhood, what has influenced Robert Gaunt the person the most?
Of course, he didn't flip through it idly, but looked it up with questions. Those who are obviously problematic, things, and things are what he is looking for.
"I hope you don't like hydrology, Dad."
Luke prayed insincerely. Then I opened the diary.
"When you open this diary, my child, you must have encountered some difficulties, right?"
Luke looked at this sentence and suddenly had a feeling that his eyes lit up. His dad was really different from the Jace Gaunt ancestor. He remembers the second of Jesgund's ancestors vividly. And Robert Gaunt's diary is obviously much more serious than his.
So he continued to look down.
"First of all, you have to know that success is always a rare thing in life. Failure may be common, but it's definitely not mainstream. No matter how magnificent your life is, it will always be the most
Those ordinary mornings and nights. So, no matter what kind of answer you're looking for, don't worry too much."
"If you really can't solve it, it's better to try to change your thinking, or just give up."
"Giving up is not as shameful as it seems. I hope you understand that."
"Of course, I was a kid at the time I wrote these words. That's what my father told me. I can't read his diary yet, and I don't know if he wrote these words out. But I don't think he had that kind of brain when he first started writing a diary."
"So...... My diary starts with a lot better than his!"
When Luke read on, he was quite impressed. My father had such an understanding of life at a young age. At first, he thought that this was the beginning of his father's diary when he grew up.
After all, Luke's own diary also left a blank page. Prepare to write something when you're old. It doesn't make young people's naivety seem so embarrassing.
But in the end, he still looked down on his father, and he didn't come up with this trick. It's just a simple imitation of grandpa. In the last sentence, the smugness revealed between the lines really made Luke smile at one point.
But you can't keep laughing. So Luke continued
Robert Gaunt's life cannot be said to be anything more than wonderful. Although he was born in a time of turmoil. But whether it is a good family background or a self-isolation way of being, they have made their branch of Gaunt unharmed in the chaos.
They didn't mean to go out and get involved. During the Grindelwald era, the Gaunt family was not dead. When they go out now, they can only expose themselves, and even arouse the hostility of this Gaunt on the surface. Pay for one's whistle.
And the second time, the turmoil caused by Voldemort made them even less willing to actively participate. After all, Voldemort finally killed this Gaunt on the bright side. When they go out, they don't necessarily receive any kind of treatment.
Dealing with Voldemort was a terrible thing. Even more terrifying was naturally being targeted by Voldemort. That's a real lunatic. Porcelain does not touch clay pots. So they chose to remain hidden.
It can be said to be cowardice, but it is not a bad thing to coax out a piece of the sky.
As the journal unfolds, there are many things like "Sunny, nothing happens today, practice spells." In these words, Luke finally saw Robert Gaunt's life.
The talent is excellent, far beyond that of his father. It doesn't take much time to practice most of the white magic. After all, black magic requires some more extreme emotions, so it is more difficult for a person with a good background to learn.
Luke's hanging on the wall, when he saw his father's study career, he admired it.
This product is a natural genius.
But apart from this genius, in other respects, Robert Gaunt is more wooden. After that, the most important thing in life is, of course, getting married and having children.
This is almost a top priority for an aristocratic family.
But Robert Gaunt was a little clumsy when it came to courting Keisha Ross.
Keisha Ross and Robert Gaunt met in a tavern in a small town. It was a Muggle town, and Robert Gaunt didn't bring a lot of Muggle currency with him. So I asked for help from those around me.
After the request was fruitless, Robert Gaunt reluctantly cast a trick on the boss, and then left all his money and fled.
Joke...... Do you still expect him to stay here and work in the dark? Don't dream, he hasn't done any housework at home, expecting him to go out and serve Muggles?
It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I can say that I'm familiar with it.
As a witch who walked into the Muggle world for the first time, Keisha Gaunt had no experience or any teaching, and she had no understanding of the currency of the Muggle world and the purchasing power of money.
She finds some money from some robbers who want to rob her. But if there is a lot on the body
If they had more money, the robbers would not go out to work, but would find a tavern to drink.
So...... She also doesn't have enough money.
Fortunately, Muggles don't feel magic fluctuations, and as a wizard, she can, and she can do the same, and she can get out of the tavern.
Soon, the two of them ran into each other. Keisha Gaunt took the initiative to ask about the Muggle world. In view of Keisha Gaunt's excellent appearance, Robert Gaunt cooperated to teach her some basics.
The first meeting of Luke's parents, there was nothing dangerous and nothing romantic.
Yes, it's just two sorcerers who have escaped the order, and they just have a smile on each other after seeing each other.
When he saw this, Luke put down his diary and rubbed his eyebrows.
It seems like just a short paragraph. But that's a lot of time. Luke has read a few diaries, and all he can say is ......
"It's really not referential."
After a sigh, Luke decided to finish reading it.
Then, at last, his eyes were shining.
