Chapter 121 Jess Gunter

Chapter 121 Jess Gunter

For Gemma's arrival, Luke did not expect it.

Although he said "I'm here, what else do I bring?", he happily reached out and took the food box from Gemma's hand.

Gemma glanced at the scattered snakes behind her with lingering fear, and suddenly had a feeling that although this place was not a den of dragons and tigers, it was also full of dangers.

"The environment of your house...is not very livable."

It's not just about a bunch of snakes around. Although snakes are a bit repulsive to wizards, they are both magic materials and magic pets.It has its own special meaning.

Therefore, although snakes are rare for wizards, they can be regarded as an understandable means of defense.

"The place is too remote, and teleportation is basically prohibited. As long as you remove the fireplace here, it will become a fortress."

The fortress in Gemma's mouth is different from the fortress in the traditional sense.

For wizards, it doesn't take too much time to deal with things like wide moats, tall stone walls, towers, and arrow stacks. The only difference is whether it is one spell or multiple spells.

And what really determines whether a building can become a fortress is the protective magic.

For example, those arranged outside the forest, those arranged inside the forest, and those arranged around the hut are those snakes that have obviously undergone special magical treatment or transformation.

Unable to teleport, magic suppression, controlled destruction, automatic counterattack...

These are what Gemma saw on the way here, and there are many more that she couldn't see without starting them.

Not to mention her, even Luke himself doesn't know how many kinds of protective magic there are here.

But he felt that unless it was Dumbledore who was active in the magic world, it would be quite difficult for others to get to the hut.

"I've lived like this since I was a child, and I don't know who made these things." Luke shook his head and smiled, "I'm still confused sometimes. If it weren't for these protective magics to 'know' me, I'm afraid I don't even dare to walk around."

Gemma nodded, and then began to look at the layout of Luke's cabin.

Then she was a little dazed.

"Did you make such a large seamless extension for the house?"

Luke's cabin doesn't look big on the outside, but the inside is surprisingly large.

In wizarding families, it is not surprising that there are family tents and suitcases with no trace extensions.This is a special item of traceless extension allowed by the Ministry of Magic.

But... except for these two items, the traceless extension of other items is a violation.

Like Luke's belt, Malfoy's small box, and Mr. Weasley's car, these special items that have been added with the traceless extension spell are strictly speaking illegal items.

It's just that the first two insist on saying that they are antiques. When they were produced, your Ministry of Magic didn't even have this law.As for Mr. Weasley's car, this is really a violation, and it's not the only violation.

Therefore, no matter how crowded many wizard families are, they will not extend their houses without traces.

At most, it's just a sneaky way to make one for your own storage room.

And Luke's covering his home with traceless extensions really opened Gemma's horizons.And the traceless extension mantra doesn't mean that it can expand as much as it expands.This thing depends on the magical suitability of the material.The better the fit, the more expensive the material will be.

Tents and boxes that are common in the wizarding world are also graded.

And the extent of the expansion of Luke's house, it is difficult to imagine the price of these materials.

Luke ignored Gemma's fuss.The house itself is the least worth mentioning of this log cabin.Next Gemma will ask more and more questions, and he will be exhausted answering each one.

It will be fine later, these so-called wonders and treasures will not be taken seriously if you see them too much.

Now Luke still puts his mind on the food box.Although he can cook for himself, it's good to embrace tradition with ready-made festive meals.After all, he should be eating these things with people for Christmas for the foreseeable many years.

It's a good thing to get used to it in advance... Well, in fact, he is too lazy to cook.

And just when Luke opened the food box, looked at the food box that had obviously been stretched without traces and was in a daze, and felt that sometimes the regulations of the Ministry of Magic were really just a piece of paper in the eyes of some people, Gemma's surprise The voices rang out one after another.

While being amazed by the materials of the tables, chairs and benches, I feel the preciousness of the paintings on the wall.Sometimes stunned by ancient and special household magic, sometimes puzzled by some famous keepsake she heard in history class very...  

In short, after really seeing such a museum-like house, it is hard to say whether a person's mental state will be affected.

Especially antiques that should be on display, either on the table or in the kitchen.Few of them serve as decorations, and more of them fulfill their own existence value.

furniture or tableware.

It's almost the same as when Luke saw a person's home in his previous life, lighting it with Changxin palace lanterns and drinking from an agate cup inlaid with a gold animal head.It's hard to say whether it's acceptable or not.

Looking at Gemma who returned to him with a slightly broken expression, Luke had a new understanding of the value of these things in his home.

Last time, Professor McGonagall was steady and did not lose his composure.But Gemma is not so stable.So she looks a bit troubled now.

Luke looked at her expression, laughed unkindly, and before Gemma could speak, he quickly pointed to the turkey he had transferred from the food box to the table, gingerbread and the like and said to her : "Eat first, eat first, it won't taste good when it gets cold later."

As soon as Gemma came back to her senses, she saw that Luke was already wrapped in gold at the corner of the table, and the story of Galahad's search for the Holy Grail was engraved on the table leg--the carving was exquisite, although it was not lifelike, but it had the unique characteristics of that era. Rustic style - the table is set with those Christmas dinners made by the people of the Lance family.

He even laid out candles leisurely.Not far from the table, there was a smaller Christmas tree where there should have been a chair.The decor is exactly the same as in the school.Apparently Luke also conjured it with Transfiguration.

Gemma didn't say anything after seeing this.He just sat down and picked up a knife and fork to eat in a muffled voice.

Knives and forks are not too rare things, they are simply enchanted to ensure the luster of gold.

She is not in the mood to complain about Luke's embarrassing decorations and furniture now.With a person who has played with antiques as toys since childhood, it is difficult for you to explain the preciousness of antiques to him.With a person who has no concept of money since he was a child, it is difficult for you to explain how difficult it is to earn money.

Just don't talk about it.

In fact, even if they are not cold, these things are far from delicious.After all these years, Luke still has a hard time adapting to these dishes.

While eating, Gemma suddenly remembered something.

"I mentioned it when I heard the professors discussing it before. Professor McGonagall said that you had a bad childhood, no one took care of you, and even changed your clothes yourself, which didn't fit..."

Gemma pursed her lips, looked at Luke with a calm face, hesitated for a moment and said, "Raymond's existence can't be known by too many people, right?"

With Raymond around, would Luke really be short of clothes and food?Of course not.It is possible that there is a lack of coins in the magic world such as Galleons, because Raymond has only maintained the most basic contact with the magic world for so many years, and he has no channels for exchanging money.

A squib, his actions in the wizarding world are almost restricted everywhere.

But it is definitely impossible to be short of food and clothing in childhood.Even if these things are sent from the Muggle world, wizards can still use them.

So, something is pretty obvious.

Luke nodded as usual, "Raymond cannot appear in the sight of too many people for the time being."

He didn't explain why, and Gemma didn't ask again.

"Are you going back tonight?"

Luke asked abruptly.

Gemma looked at Luke, blinked, and then showed a charming smile, propping her cheeks with the heels of her palms, and tilted her figure lazily: "Little brother, what you are asking is ambiguous, Ou ~"

Luke looked up at Gemma, swallowed the turkey in his mouth and said, "If you go back, you can use the fireplace. If you don't go back, the first room up the stairs on the second floor is the guest room. You can stay first."

He paused, and then said to Gemma: "Young people, don't be so pretentious, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old can't make such a charming expression."

Gemma was embarrassed by what he said, but subconsciously returned to her original state.Then Gemma gave Luke a big roll of the eyes: "It's like how old you are, old-fashioned."

Then he ate something.

Luke looked at Gemma and shook his head.Sometimes he is easily influenced by the memories of his previous life...

After a simple meal, although Luke lit a candle, the atmosphere of the candlelight dinner was difficult to appear between an 11-year-old boy and a seventeen-year-old young woman.

Under normal circumstances, the former may have unreasonable thoughts about the latter, while the latter has absolutely no evil thoughts about the former.

But when this 11-year-old boy has a mental age in his 20s and close to 30 years old, it is hard to say whether the former's unreasonable desire for the latter is still valid.

It is theoretically possible.After all, everyone loves seventeen or eighteen.

After supper Gemma went upstairs to bed.Luke told her that there were enough books in the room to relieve boredom, and that if she was really bored, she could go for a walk in the forest.In fact, it's hard to say which one is more boring, after all, this forest is not big, and besides snakes, it is basically snakes.The basic ecosystem can be said to be struggling to maintain.

Of course, Luke has no time to care about Gemma's spiritual world construction for the time being.It doesn't matter if you read a book, take a walk, or put a price tag on all the antiques at home.He now has to read the thick diary that he hadn't read before.

Drilling into the box again and returning to the book storage room, Luke still sighed softly as he looked at the pile of diaries.

I don't know whether he is lamenting that his work does not increase the price, or he is lamenting the rich life experience of these ancestors of Jess.

For the vast majority of people, it is enough to use a book, a few brief words or even a few pages, and a brief or even a few lines.Even many people's life can only have the date of birth and death.

Even if it is a diary, being able to write such a large stack is truly a legend.

Although I still don't know what this person has experienced.Luke already had an inexplicable sense of mission.It's like a person's voice is revealed in front of you, but are you really ready to accept him?

Luke didn't know his answer, but under the bright magic light, he sat at the desk and took out the one with the serial number '1' from the pile of diaries.

Then I looked at the cover and started thinking.

If there is no news in the diary, he has to read everything else.Including the evaluation and memoirs written by the heirs of Jess's ancestors.

This is something more embarrassing than a diary, especially when the two are compared.

Fortunately, Luke and his dad don't have this kind of trouble anymore.Luke's dad didn't have time, and Luke couldn't write yet.

Luke is seriously considering whether to discard this family tradition when he has a child.

But now is not the time to think about it, Luke opened the first diary while restraining his thinking that was about to diverge to the edge of the universe.

"September 1373, 9 was fine"

"I, Jess Gunter, am eight years old this year! My dear junior! Are you ready to watch the life of your great ancestor!"

Luke closed the diary with a 'snap', put his left hand on his forehead, and tapped flexibly on the table with his right hand.

Is there such a possibility that his opening method is wrong...

My ancestors shouldn't be so crazy.jpg

But after a moment of mental construction, he opened the diary again.According to family tradition, the diary cannot be modified or destroyed. You can write later, but you have to.

I don't know if ancestor Jess would have the urge to change the family tradition when he saw the first sentence of his first diary when he grew up.

Luke suddenly had inexplicable expectations for the diaries of those ancestors who didn't know how many generations ago.

Embarrassing and cool, the experience is old and strange.

Holding back his temper, Luke continued to look down.

"September 1373, 9 was overcast"

"Dad spanked my ass for breaking his vase... I threw his kitty in my dog's kennel. The two of them will have a great night Yes, hahaha!"

Luke can roughly outline the appearance of an outrageous brat through the flamboyant fonts and the temperament between the lines in the diary.

He then looked down.

"September 1373, 9 The weather was rainy"

"Dad hit me again, take revenge."

Luke: ...

Otherwise, the custom of keeping a diary would be abolished.
