After receiving the name of the Apos Valley, Luke did not leave immediately, but waved over the stone tablet again after the books and maps returned to their original locations.

He wrote the name of the Apos Valley on it, and on the slate there was an option that said, "Three books containing this keyword were found, one of which has just been read, whether to call again". Luke chose no. He'd spent that journal and there was nothing deeper to dig into.

And after that......

The words "called" appeared on the slate. Soon, the sound of breaking the air sounded.

The two books flew between the bookcases like butterflies, and in the blink of an eye, they flew to the table in front of Luke.

Luke sat down again, silently flipping through it. But this time, no useful information was obtained. These two books, one is a travelogue and the other is a personal biography, both of which were left by our ancestors many generations ago. It's a long way from Luke and his dad. And the descriptions are just passing by. The Apos Valley in one of the biographies, after Luke researched it, also found that it was not the same place as the Apos Valley he was looking for. It can only be said to be a coincidence.

But it's not completely devoid of reference value......

At the very least, the travelogue shows that the Apos Valley has existed for a long time, and if there is any secret in this valley alone, then this secret may be traced back to more than 400 years ago at the earliest.

If you do this calculation, the history does not seem to be too long.

Luke has never been a strong executive person. His plans are often well-designed. But rather than strictly executing the plan, he prefers to modify his plan at any time to make it fit the actual situation.

This is the kind of ability that people who carry out long-term planning must have. After all, everything in the world is in motion and changing all the time. Even if these changes in motion follow certain laws at the macro level, accidents at the micro level cannot be avoided by anyone.

Therefore, improvisation is an absolute must-have.

But Luke was somewhat morbid in his way of doing things. Even if it's a small plan, he's always adaptable.

It can be roughly understood that in addition to nA, he can always "I have an idea".

This is not entirely a good thing. After all, no one can guarantee that every decision they make on the spot is the right one. After all, there are indeed many things that can be seen in the on-the-spot reaction, but the uncertainty is inevitably stronger.

Thankfully, every impromptu response Luke has made so far has not made things worse, but has made them as good as possible. I have to say that this is really a rare good thing.

In a sense, this is because Luke has too many whimsical ideas, and when faced with these whimsical ideas, he will carefully consider the right and wrong, whether they are right or wrong, whether they are or not, so it seems that he is hesitant to do things.

But this time, Luke didn't hesitate.

After getting the answer he wanted, Luke left the library. To be honest, this time it did solve Luke's puzzle, but it also made Luke aware of a bigger mystery.

What are the Gaunts hiding? What exactly are they after? Was their arrival a failure of their original plan? Or is it part of the plan?

This made Luke's expression more and more solemn.

He only prays now that the worst he thinks is not the worst. Otherwise...... What else do you want to change the world? No matter how much you change, it's just an ant under someone else's feet.

So, Luke shook his head and threw all the not-so-good thoughts out of his head.

"It's come to this, it's done, it's done, it's not done." A hint of fierceness flashed in Luke's eyes, "I want the truth, and I want the target."

His temperament is actually relatively peaceful. Compared with his colleagues in his previous life, he is not greedy for money, he is not good at gambling, although he loves beauty, but he takes it in a good way.

After coming to this world, because the body is not yet grown, so I love beauty

The weakness is difficult to challenge for the time being. So he's really invulnerable in a sense now.

Therefore...... There is nothing he can't do as long as he wants to do it.

"Anyway...... You have to protect yourself."

This adventure was not planned. It's best to be able to get an answer, and if you can't get it, you can't give up too much for this answer. That's where the real gains outweigh the losses.

Once Luke had made up his mind, he went to his family's storeroom and began to search for things.

He really didn't know what was in that valley.

So there are a lot of things to prepare. Camping, self-defense, tracking, capture, escape...... Everything.

There aren't many magical items circulating in the wizarding world on the market. Because the creation of magical items, that is, magic items, requires quite strong alchemy. Alchemy, on the other hand, is a subject that is not included in the Hogwarts curriculum.

Even if it is an elective, there are not many candidates. Because there are so many things to learn. The alchemy professor at Hogwarts was just a half-baked alchemist, not a master alchemist. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the students to choose this class mixed credit is not too high.

Studying hard doesn't always mean that you won't be able to learn something. But if you don't study it seriously, you won't be able to pass the final exam in a surprise attack with the complexity of this thing. So it's a very tough course.

This is not a problem with a Hogwarts school. The vast majority of wizarding schools do not have anyone to teach alchemy. Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's alchemy course is undoubtedly the best. After all, the greatest alchemy master in the world was a director of someone's school, and he gave some benefits.

Just such a small benefit is enough to widen the gap between Beauxbatons and other schools in this subject.

The lack of alchemists has led to the fact that only a very small number of items that are quite useful and cannot be mass-produced by the Magic Workshop will be circulated in the market. And because of the low overall level of alchemists, the variety of magical items circulating in the market is poor.

At the same time, it also leads to the reason why so-called magic items are generally found in antique stores.

And when Luke walked into his treasure room, although he was used to everything in front of him, he still had to sigh with emotion.

He knew the rarity and value of these things, he didn't understand them when he was a child, but when he grew up, he also knew that he was a child, and he really wanted to eat with gold.

But it can't be helped. He couldn't spend the gold, because he had no way to communicate with the outside world. So if you don't have food, you'll have to go hungry.

Now, Luke walks through the treasure room, picking out what he needs on the shelves.

In addition to a comfortable accommodation environment, the special magic tent also has the effect of vigilance, defense, and half of the magic position. Even if you think about it on your toes, you know that it must be worth a lot. But I can't stand it, and I really deserve the price.

After all, when you go out, especially in the wild, the situation of wanting to sleep, but not daring to sleep too hard, is still quite unavoidable. But with this thing, it's not that hard.

Sleep soundly, this thing is definitely better than your naked eye. If you can hide it, then you can definitely hide it from your eyes.

Other than that, although the other things are not common, they are functionally relatively easy to understand. That's what it is, after all.

Luke quickly armed himself with more than a dozen magic items of various functions.

If Arthur Wesley is forced to kill Luke and rob Luke of his current state, then the Wesleys' economic situation will improve overnight. It was even possible to reach the standard of living of a normal middle aristocracy.

It can only be said that the family background of the Gaunt family is indeed ...... Something.

After arming yourself...... Luke, it's time to go.

……………………

Luna didn't know why she had come to the forest.

It's already on the border with the United Kingdom, and if you continue on, you'll be able to see the ocean.

Luna was jumping freely in the forest like a deer, her platinum-blond hair rising and falling with her body, her eyes looking around, full of curiosity.

Xenophilius Lovegood, who is often supposed to be inseparable from his daughter, is missing this time. It doesn't seem to have come out at all.

The overall atmosphere of the forest is dark and oppressive, with dark green leaves and a thick canopy, which shades the sky and the sun.

In such an environment, Luna is still at ease, and it can only be said that she is indeed very bold. At the same time, the wreath on Luna's head seems to be the most vibrant color in this forest.

"What is in the depths of the forest?"

Luna asked, looking at the deeper darkness ahead, with some curiosity.

"It's all here. Can you tell me?"

If anything has changed since she became acquainted with Luke. That should be in addition to maintaining his own bad nature, but also a little more vigilant and careful. Luna has these two characteristics in her own right, but she doesn't see them when she doesn't have to.

Many people who don't have deep contact with Luna are dissuaded by her character. Words like ignorance of current affairs, lack of proportion, madness, madness, etc., can be put on Luna. That's right, in a sense. Luna's style of behavior is indeed very different from ordinary people, but it does not mean that she is really a "crazy girl".

"Huh? You think there's something I want most?"

Luna frowned, and asked with some confusion, "However, there are so many things I want, and these things can't be in the same place."

She wanted to find the scimitar-horned snorer to prove her father right. I also want to find what Luke needs, the kind of powerful tool that can clamp everyone down. I also want to find a way to perfect the spell that killed my mother.

There were many, many more things she wanted, how could these things find answers in such a forest?

But in my head, there was still a gentle voice.

"Let's go find it. What you want can be realized. And when you have the power, everything else you want is easy. Although I don't believe in the supremacy of power, from my experience. As long as you have the power, anyone can solve at least eighty percent of their problems."

Luke said that, too.

And the tone is very similar.

There is more to life than power. But with power, there will be a lot less trouble.

"That...... Look at it."

Luna didn't hesitate too much. It's different from Luke, who has to arrange it at all times and hesitate before leaving. Luna is the standard man of action. As long as you have an idea, then you will put it into practice. Hardly care about time and place.

For example, she will do it almost at any time to promote "Singing Contrarian".

Fortunately, everyone knows that Luke and Luna are familiar with each other and have a very close relationship, so they will not be easily ridiculed, and more people are willing to know Luna, the person who has fallen into Luke's eyes.

Therefore, at Hogwarts now, Luna is not a crazy girl that everyone looks like. can only be regarded as a more maverick little witch.

Life is always so realistic. After spending some time with Luna, everyone understands why Luke has a different eye on such a little girl. I can only envy, but I can't become.

Luna hummed a light tune and a large bag on her back, and continued to jump into the depths of the forest.

……………………

A few days later.

Luke though identified the suspicious location. But that doesn't mean he's really relieved of the conclusions he's reached. In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, he directly mounted his magic broom and flew to the position indicated by the compass.

It has to be said that the development of the times has brought about an improvement in the quality of life for both Muggles and wizards.

"This thing sits up better than a magic broom six hundred years ago

Comfortable."

Luke flew fast on a firebolt.

Firebolts are hard to buy, but Luke doesn't need to buy them himself. This firebolt was also sent by Sirius. Anyway, I had to buy a broom for Harry, and I had to give Luke a handful.

After all, Sirius owes Luke too much favor. The kind that wants to put yourself in it. A broom, it's nothing.

Sirius didn't care, and Luke didn't care. But this style still makes the people around him a little greedy.

Of course, after Luke got it back, he made a makeover, thickening and widening the invisible windshield and thickening and widening the invisible cushion underneath. The broom was bound to be uncomfortable to sit on, and Luke could only make himself as comfortable as possible.

In this way, Luke flew in the sky for a few days. The red dot is still on the edge of the compass.

Luke wiped his face, even if he didn't look at it, he knew that he must have a face of vicissitudes now.

He took out the map and glanced at the trajectory of his flight on the map, he was almost near the Apos Valley.

Luke glanced at the compass again, and if his guess was correct, the position of the red dot on the compass would soon change from the edge to the compass.
