Chapter 276 Write a Letter
Sitting in front of the desk, the pen in Luke's hand, with the cap on, tapped the table lightly.
There is a piece of paper, an envelope, and a stamp on it.
He is used to using quills, but in his room, he still always carries a pen.Along with it, there are a few ballpoint pens also placed on the table.
Although these Muggle-related things are not contraband at Hogwarts, they will be laughed at for no reason if they are usually used.Fortunately, Luke received special treatment. When he was assigned to the dormitory, he was given a single room.Spacious not to mention, privacy can also be preserved.
With his tongue against the roof of his mouth, Luke frowned thoughtfully.
In class today, Beth Ritchie's words and attitude surprised him a little.But this is not the point. After all, the strength of the Liqi family is not weak. Attaching to the Nott family is to climb up, and attaching to oneself can also climb up.
Strictly speaking, his current power cannot be compared with the Nott family who still owns a large area of land.In terms of money alone, there is no comparison.Although Luke is rich, he only has an uninhabitable old house and a wooden house in the woods around him.
Other than that, all that was left was the properties that the Lance family gave away at that time.
But the problem is that all those properties were also handed over to Gemma by Luke.When Gemma can grasp all the things at once, she will distribute these properties to the people below to take care of them.
There are too few people Luke can trust.
The older 28 family members who had a good relationship with him did not really follow him.This is why Luke almost gave up on recruiting people above the fourth grade. The fourth and third grades are just making friends with each other.
Everyone has a bright future, there is no need to take this risk with you.
In other words, Luke's authority is not important in their eyes.Just a little kid.
However, after all, the Richie family is not a deep-rooted 28 family.You know, after Luke was born again after the Gaunt family became extinct, he has deeply felt the preferential treatment that the Gaunt family will receive in the wizarding world.
This is more than ten years after the Gaunt family disappeared.Even if Marvolo Gaunt was mixed up with that kind of virtue back then, he was still considered a respectable figure in the wizarding world, and ordinary people would not dare to deceive him.
The Liqi family is called upstarts in a good way, but in the eyes of the 28 family, they are just a group of nouveau riche who want to climb the ladder.They wanted to take advantage of the Nott family, and the Nott family also thought about whether they could wipe out the Richie family.
Even, the Li Qi family may still be at a disadvantage in the struggle.Otherwise, Beth Ridge wouldn't show her favor for no reason.
Of course, it didn't matter, what really made Luke goo was Dumbledore who was waiting for him at the door after he walked out of the classroom.
"what is troubling you?"
Dumbledore asked curiously.
Before Luke could speak, Dumbledore went on to say, "What did the students not do well? Are you dissatisfied?"
Luke pondered for a moment, but finally just shook his head, then smiled suddenly, and said helplessly: "Professor, what are you talking about! I just couldn't figure out what some people were thinking for a while. "... Dumbledore looked at Luke's smiling face, said nothing, just patted Luke on the shoulder and said: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but... don't be too upset, think about a solution, I really can't find it If so, come and discuss it with me, it would be good to discuss it with Minerva."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left without caring about Luke's reaction.Obviously there is no meaning to get to the bottom of it.
Looking at Dumbledore's back, Luke's facial features almost wrinkled together.
If he guarded Luke like a thief like before, Luke would be more comfortable.Now, so close and friendly, Luke didn't know what to do for a while.
Luke, who has always been soft but not tough, is really unwilling to hurt someone who is sincerely good to him and who cares about him.
He would rather offend those people who shouldn't get along in harmony to death, and it would be best to fight as soon as they meet.After all, Luke doesn't have to bear any burden when he strikes.
Now, Dumbledore has become the kind of person who trusts him a lot.So if he failed Dumbledore's trust in him again, he would feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, it will definitely not miss a major event.In the face of real major events, these emotions can be restrained...
But it's just restraint.
"The eyes are quite sharp..."
Luke cooed softly.
He didn't expect that he was cracking the flash shock, but Dumbledore saw the disappointment shown when the people below didn't respond.
It can only be said that Dumbledore is indeed powerful.
Even now, Luke, who is sitting on the chair, still feels a little helpless when he thinks of the students' reactions.
How could he not be disappointed.
Mirrors certainly cannot reflect all light, let alone be able to reflect other spells.The magic spell just looks like a beam of light.In fact, it is a special form of magic transformation.But Flash Blast is literally turning magic into a beam of light.
And to resist easily with a mirror, this is physics.
But... for such a basic physical phenomenon, after he had wondered about the 'basic principle', no one followed up. How could this not disappoint him.
"You underestimate Muggles..."
Luke shook his head and said with emotion.
The ruler is long and the inch is short.Luke is very clear that this kind of thing can't be discussed in a single way, or the flash shock.When Luke found this spell from a pile of spell books at home, Luke felt it was amused.
This spell is very strong, whether it is the speed of the hand or the power, it is very strong.It can even penetrate the magic barrier with twice the result with half the effort.
But...just a mirror is enough to stop this powerful spell.The time-consuming and laborious counter-spell recorded in the spell book seems so redundant in front of a small mirror.
Combining physics, or other disciplines, with magic will definitely produce some special effects.
But at present, scientists in the Muggle world needless to say.Most of them have no understanding of the wizarding world.Even if some of them may have been mentioned by the people above, the leaders of the Muggle world know little about the wizarding world, let alone the scientists below them. ...and wizarding students... Muggle studies are not reliable.Professor Caredy Bubbaji is a pro-Muggle wizard who spends his days preaching in Muggle Studies classes that wizards and Muggles are no different.But the students scoffed at this, and even Luke was noncommittal.He didn't know how two Muggles could produce baby wizards.But the gap between wizards and Muggles can indeed be said to be very different.
To say that there is no difference is a bit too divorced from objective reality.
What's even more puzzling is that Professor Bubbaji...is a pure blood.Although he is not a nobleman, he is actually a pure blood.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.Luke himself has no position to say that Professor Bubaji is wrong.
Moreover, Professor Bubbaji's understanding of Muggles is relatively backward and superficial.With a bit of conjecture.
This made Luke really helpless.Judging from the performance of the students in the previous class, even those little wizards who were born in Muggle families lacked understanding of the subject of physics.It stands to reason that they shouldn't be ignorant of the principle of reflection, but no one said, maybe they don't know, or maybe they don't want to make themselves look out of place.
But, in any case, the current atmosphere in the wizarding world can be seen.
Shaking his head, Luke stopped tapping the table. He knew very well that this kind of thing could not be changed by himself, and it could be changed in a few years.
To be honest, the superiority of wizards lasted for thousands of years.They have been stronger than humans since their birth.Not in the earliest times.
A thousand years ago, even a normal adult wizard could beat a small team of witch hunters from the Holy See.
Now, wands are as good as wands, and guns are as powerful as guns.
Moreover, the offense and defense have actually changed positions.The shadow of Nuclear Level not only hangs over the head of the muggle world, but also hangs over the head of the wizarding world.
Of course, to be precise, it hangs over Luke alone.After all, other people... I am afraid that few people really know what this thing is.
"It's too far away. It's better to deal with the immediate worries first."
Luke himself knew it was boring, and in the course of his actions, he had to bring as little as possible from the Muggle world.Even after Hermione researched the spell formula, she had to erase some of the 'scientific' elements and paint it in 'magic' colors to whitewash it.
This is what must be done.The contradiction between the new nobles and the old nobles, the contradiction between pure blood and mixed blood and Muggle wizards, the contradiction between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, these three things are very terrible.And if the two contradictions are mixed together, it can only be said... the big one is coming!
It can't be done like this, Luke knows it well.
Pulling out the pen, Luke leaned over the desk and started writing on the letter paper.
"...Everything is fine here, and I have been drinking milk before going to bed. You don't have to worry about it... But I don't know how you are doing now. The last time I saw you, I was only eight years old..."... the whole article They are all words with no nutrition and no purpose.It seems to be chatting with each other, and it also seems to be coquettish.
"I have never let others know of your existence. If it weren't for the postcards you send every year, I myself would have to wonder if something happened to you somewhere."
When writing this, Luke's face is full of helplessness visible to the naked eye.
"After I entered school, I did a lot of things. I made a lot of friends. My friends are all sincere, but unfortunately my things are still a bit rough. Voldemort is an excellent target. I set up the target for myself Good. With such an enemy around, some people will not focus on me..."
"...I honestly don't know your current location. I can only type this letter to the address you sent me last time. Next time you should at least tell me where your next stop will be That's good."
"In short, I have no problem with you wandering in the Muggle world, but I need the help of my family now. If you have no problem, I will send a letter directly..."
After finishing writing, Luke looked at the letter. Apart from the fluent sentences, it could also be regarded as a feeling.
At the same time, the handwriting is much more elegant and free than Luke's past.Obviously quite relaxed while writing.The expression on his face looked quite helpless, but in fact it seemed to be three-point dependent.
That meant no one else who knew Luke well was present.Otherwise you will be surprised.
Self-reliance and self-improvement, there is no doubt about the strategy. When did the mature and stable Luke have such an expression.
Luke is well aware that all eggs cannot be put in one basket.People can't just rely on one side.The Lance family is not reliable, but they have to rely on it now.The strangeness from the Kane family came to their door on their own initiative. It seemed harmless, but Luke was always on guard.Gemma is of course one of her own, but it is also a fact that the strong are the strong, and the weak are weak.
It's okay for the Lance family to obey orders honestly. Once there is trouble, Gemma's ability to barely suppress it is already extraordinary.
It is more likely that she herself will suffer.
Seeing that things were on the right track, Luke became more and more aware that he should take precautions with his back.
The actions of the Richie family made him feel a little bad.So everything is better prepared in advance.
After the letter was written, Luke put the letter in an envelope painted with a silver snake pattern on a green background.After finishing writing, he glanced at the warmed wax, picked up a silver knife on the table, and made a small cut on his fingertips. The blood fell into the wax, and the dark green wax first turned into a slit. Yin Hong, and then returned to its original color.
After sealing it with wax, Luke affixed the stamp with the picture of the Eiffel Tower on the envelope.
After finishing, Luke directly threw the letter into a small mailbox at hand.
Next, the letter will appear in a mailbox on a certain street in the UK, and will be collected soon, and finally sent to the address that has been written.
It's just that there is no recipient at that address, and Luke himself is not sure.
Although it was written with a pen, it doesn't mean that Luke didn't do anything.A simple spell, with special wax and Luke's blood.No one will be able to open the letter except those who have been authenticated.Even if it is opened, the handwriting on the letter paper will disappear quickly.
This is an irreversible spell, and Luke is confident that even Dumbledore will never break it by force.
Leaning on the back of the chair, Luke looked calm, but there seemed to be three points of memory in his eyes. .
I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
