Chapter 439 Journey
The so-called life is actually a journey again and again.
You can see a lot on the way, and you can experience it differently when you are resting.
The farthest journey Luke has ever taken in his life was undoubtedly a journey from one world to another.All the achievements of the other world, all the fetters will be thrown away.Fortunately, he was open-minded and didn't have any reluctance.
And rest... Luke hasn't had much rest since he came to this world.
He originally thought that his plan was perfect, but he never expected that he would encounter some unimaginable things one after another.
Just like...
"No one thought, no one thought, that my parents, who were thought to be dead a long time ago, would actually be alive?"
Luke was lying on his big bed alone, looking at the ceiling with a dazed expression.
Since he fully accepted himself, he has become very indifferent to some things, but very concerned about others.
Many things from the previous life can be completely let go.But accordingly.Those people related to the current body have become a living bond.
The fact that his parents were still alive made him somewhat confused and overwhelmed.
"Maybe, it's really the long-lost brother?"
He twitched the corners of his mouth, talking to himself.
After all, to be honest, he still prefers this guess.Among other things, the younger brother who has been separated for many years is better to accept than the parents who have not cared about him for so many years.
When your parents haven't heard from you for more than ten years, it's okay to die. If you haven't come to find yourself for more than ten years without encountering any accidents, then it's still...forget it. It's better to be alive.
Luke sighed, then looked at the cat and snake beside him.
The owl is not with him, the owl is now resident with Gemma.So that Gemma can send a letter to herself.It is said that Luke still does not know how these owls in the wizarding world are trained.They can easily find the recipient no matter where they are.
You know, not every recipient's address can be controlled by the sender.
Of course, ordinary owls just put letters into the mailbox.But the owl that he owns is able to find his master.
It can only be said that there are too many magical methods in the wizarding world, and even owls cannot escape the fate of being squeezed.
So, this time when I go out, I have to bring these two little guys with me.
He didn't intend to bring others to find the location of the red dot.But it doesn't mean that he wants to face these loneliness and pressure alone.
Bringing two little guys is a kind of relaxation for him.
"However... let's put it down for two days..."
Luke turned over, put the quilt cover on his body, looked at the moonlight outside the window, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the second day, Luke woke up early and opened his eyes.He took his time, dressed in an orderly manner, and then entered his library.
On the slate, Luke wrote two options: "World Map" and "Robert Gunter's Diary".
Then Luke walked to the large desk on one side, and a large sheepskin map shuttled between the bookshelves, flew to Luke, and spread out.
The overall shape of this map is very different from the Muggle world map.However, the divisions such as countries on it cannot be completely equivalent.
For example, within the map of North America, the location that should originally belong to the United States is divided into several parts.The most conspicuous among them is the Noble Alliance, while the other divisions have not been named.
In addition to these, although this map can be rolled up, the place where the mountain should be is raised, the place where the valley is should be sunken, and the place where the sea should be is rippling... Compared with a pure map, it seems to include Topographic map of spheres of influence.
Looking at the map, Luke still shook his head.
This map is already much more detailed than the maps of the wizarding world sold on the market, and it is also much easier to use.
too much.But when it comes to magic, Luke still thinks the Marauder's Map is even more magical.After all, it is a map that can be used to monitor the entire range.
The map in front of me has not been updated for a long time.Only a few Muggle cities are marked on it.Luke looked at this huge world and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Big project."
Although the blood compass can point out the other party's direction.But Luke still thinks that he can't go on the road blindly.Always have to plan ahead.So he decided to take a look first, which positions were more suspicious.
It's fine if it's still in Europe.But if... it's really far away...
At this moment, several diaries flew from the bookshelf to Luke's desk, stacked neatly, waiting for Luke to read them.
Luke glanced at the diaries.This is the diary of his father, Robert Gunter.He has never seen it.
The diary lay there quietly, but Luke fell into hesitation again.
His plan is now at the breaking point.Although it doesn't mean that you can't do without him.But with more care, you can always put yourself at ease.
So...abandoning the plan that is in full swing, and taking the risk to find my parents who have been missing for many years.Is it a wise choice?
"Damn, this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with the main story..."
Luke recalled the main mission given to him by the system.To be honest, given the current situation, this main task is indeed possible with or without his parents.
But... can you really give up and not look for it?
If Luke could really see so clearly and make up his mind decisively, of course he wouldn't have the current entanglement.But with this kind of thing in front of us, is it really easy to make a choice?
Luke fell silent.But after a moment of silence, all the blankness in his eyes subsided.Take out the blood compass from the system space and place it on the map.Then put the index fingers of the left and right hands on the two corners of the map, expanding it continuously.
Eventually, the hut appears in the center of the map.
Luke put the compass on the hut, then took a quill placed on the table, without dipping any ink, and drew a long line on the map in the direction indicated by the compass.
After that, Luke didn't rush to start scrolling the map immediately, but sat back on the chair, picked up a diary, and started reading.
He has read many ancestors' diaries.Jess Gunter’s diary is the most read.But in all fairness, Luke has never considered himself a fun guy in the true sense of the word.He is not very interested in other people's black history.
So I don't have much interest in reading diaries.There are so many books in the library, excluding these diaries with relatively meager content, those sorted out travel notes, personal biographies and the like are obviously more useful.
But now, in order to find clues that his father might have left behind, he still decided to read his father's diary.From the very beginning, try to find some meaningful information.
For example, what has most influenced the man Robert Gunter since he was a child?
Of course, he was not just browsing idly, but searching with questions.Those people, things, and things that are obviously problematic are what he is looking for.
"I hope Dad you don't like hydrology."
Luke prayed insincerely.Then I opened the diary.
"When you opened this diary, my child, you must have encountered some difficulties, right?"
Luke looked at this sentence, and suddenly had a feeling of lightening up.His father was indeed different from the ancestor Jess Gunter.Jess Gaunt's ancestor's second grade is still fresh in his memory.And Robert Gunter's diary is obviously 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 more common, but it will definitely not be the mainstream. No matter how magnificent your life is, the most common thing is always
Those ordinary mornings and nights.So, no matter what kind of answer you are here to find, don't worry too much. "
"If you really can't solve it, why not try to change your thinking, or just give up."
"Giving up is not as shameful as you think. I hope you understand this."
"Of course, I was a child when I wrote these words. My father told me these words. I haven't been able to read his diary yet, so I don't know if he wrote them down. But I think he just When I started writing the diary, I probably didn’t have such a brain.”
"So... the beginning of my diary is much better than his!"
As Luke read on, he was still quite touched.My father had such a perception of life at a young age.At first, he thought it was his father who had gone back and added the beginning to his diary after he grew up.
After all, Luke's own diary also leaves a blank page.Prepare to write something when you are old.It will not make the naivety of young people look so embarrassing.
But in the end, he still looked up to his father, and he didn't think of this trick either.It's just a simple imitation of grandpa.In the last sentence, the pride revealed between the lines really made Luke couldn't help showing a smile.
But I can’t keep laughing.So Luke continued
Robert Gunter's life cannot be said to be so wonderful.Although he was born in turbulent times.But whether it's a good family background, or the way of existence of self-isolation, their Gunter is not harmed in the chaos.
They also didn't intend to go out and get involved.During Grindelwald's time, the Gaunt family hadn't died out.When they go out now, they can only expose themselves, and even arouse the hostility of this Gunter on the surface.The loss outweighs the gain.
And the second time, the turmoil caused by Voldemort made them even less willing to intervene.After all, Voldemort finally killed the Gaunt on the bright side.When they go out, they may not be treated in any way.
Dealing with Voldemort is a terrible thing.What is more terrifying is naturally being targeted by Voldemort.That's a real madman.Porcelain does not touch earthen jars.So they chose to continue hiding.
It can be said to be cowardly, but it is not a bad thing to be cowardly.
As the diary unfolded, among the many words like "Sunny, nothing happened today, practicing the spell." After all, Luke finally saw Robert Gunter's life.
Excellent talent, far surpassing his father.It doesn't take much time to practice most of the white magic.After all, something like black magic requires some extreme emotions, so when learning, for a person with a good background, the more difficult thing is that the cultivation of such emotions may also be brewing.
Luke's hanging on the wall, when he saw his father's study career, he would say admiration.
This guy is pure natural genius.
But apart from his genius in this aspect, in other aspects, Robert Gunter is relatively dull.After that, the most important thing in life is of course getting married and having children.
For a noble family, this is almost the top priority.
But Robert Gunter has been a bit clumsy when it comes to courting Keisha Rose.
Keisha Ross and Robert Gunter met in a small town tavern.It was a Muggle town, and Robert Gaunt didn't bring much Muggle currency with him when he went out.So ask for help from those around you.
After the request was fruitless, Robert Gunter helplessly cast a spell on the boss, then left all his money and ran away.
Just kidding... Do you still expect him to stay here and do illegal work?Don't dream, he hasn't done any housework at home, expect him to serve Muggles outside?
This is not the first time I have done this kind of thing, it can be said that I am familiar with the road.
And Keisha Gunter, as a witch who came to the Muggle world for the first time, without any experience, let alone any teaching, has no understanding of the currency of the Muggle world and the purchasing power of currency.
She found some money from some robbers who wanted to rob her.But if you have a lot
If there is more money, these robbers will not go out to work, but find a tavern to drink.
So... she doesn't have enough money either.
Fortunately, Muggles can't feel the magic fluctuations. As a wizard, she can, and she also slipped out of the tavern by following suit.
Soon, the two met together.Keisha Gaunt volunteered to ask something about the Muggle world.In view of Keisha Gunter's excellent looks, Robert Gunter cooperated with her and taught her some basic knowledge.
There's nothing threatening or romantic about Luke's parents' first meeting.
Yes, it's just two wizards who escaped from the order, after seeing each other, it's just a matter of sex.
When he saw this, Luke put down the diary and rubbed the space between his brows.
It seems to be just a short paragraph.But that's a lot of years.Luke has read several diaries, so he can only say...
"This thing really has no reference."
After sighing, Luke decided to finish it anyway.
Then, finally, his eyes lit up.
