In fact, Luke himself couldn't explain why he felt a sense of belonging to such a place.
Although the temperature here is like spring all year round, the vegetation is evergreen, the mountains are surrounded by water, and it is full of vitality, but after all, it is just a hut, and the only living creatures that are active all year round are snakes.
Maybe it’s simply worth the time.
Luke groaned inwardly. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other explanation.
But having a sense of belonging is not a bad thing. He can't expect to be like a player, trying to change the world while not integrating into it. No one is a fool. You are incompatible with the whole world, how can you expect to be able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with others? Thinking of something bad?
If that's the case, let's stop talking about friendship and just talk about transactions.
Thinking about all this, Luke walked towards his hut. After seeing Luke, the snakes did not continue to stay here and quickly dispersed. Despite the magical protection here, the temperature has remained relatively constant, neither hot nor cold. But it is winter after all, and snakes still don't like to move.
Being able to gather them together between the time Luke walked into the forest and arrived at the cabin already shows their mobility and loyalty.
Asking them to celebrate Christmas with Luke? Spare them. No matter how smart they are, they are just a bunch of snakes. You can still do it as a guard. Let them become a group of family members who can give you warmth. This request is beyond the scope!
No matter what, Luke is destined to spend this Christmas Eve by himself.
Fortunately, he had been alone for many years before, and before he traveled through his past life, his only feeling about Christmas Eve was that someone gave him an apple, and someone gave him an apple. So he has no special obsession with this festival.
But no problem.
【Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for ushering in the first Christmas after fully activating the system. At the same time, because the host took the initiative to complete the task after fully activating the system. We are now giving you a Christmas gift package as encouragement. Keep up the good work and never forget your original intention. Merry Christmas. 】
【Ding Dong! The gift package has been stored in the system warehouse, please check it carefully. 】
Luke:…
"Tsk, it's a great holiday."
Luke sighed with serious sincerity.
However, he was not in a hurry to open the gift pack. He had accumulated a lot of various system mission rewards, achievement rewards and the like. Sometimes when I get busy, I don’t have time to open this thing. But fortunately, they couldn't be thrown away, so Luke didn't care about them. Whenever he was happy, he would open two to add to the fun, or to suppress his happy mood.
Most of them are the latter.
Not everything provided by the system is useful. For example, those few company operation guides. You say it’s useless, it’s useful. You say it is useful, it is not really impossible to buy it in the Muggle world.
After all, the squib business genius who was loyal to the Gunter family was a living textbook in his own right.
It's a pity that he is a squib. He can only guide Luke's industries in the magical world, and it is impossible for him to operate them himself. Not even with Gunter's reputation.
Filch's job is already the best job that most squibs would envy.
In the eyes of most wizards, this kind of work is just subpar.
At the same time, things that didn't seem strange before suddenly seemed strange.
Raymond Sacco, Squib, one of the great capitalists in the Muggle world. In recent years, he has been behind the scenes, with a large number of shares held on behalf of others, and he has become increasingly low-key. But in the ears of some knowledgeable people, this name is like thunder.
He was able to survive even when he was surrounded and suppressed by many "friends". In the eyes of some people, Raymond's life was a huge legend.
Being able to survive the encirclement and suppression was naturally due to the help of the Gaunt family. Raymond has been helping the Gunter family make money from the beginning. Someone helped him hold the shares on his behalf, but most of the shares in his hands were still held on behalf of the Gunter family.
Luke's parents died so early that he had no memory of them at all. Raymond was like an old butler, taking care of the young Luke.
But because he is a squib, he cannot even live in this forest permanently. So Luke can be said to have grown up alone in the forest since he was a child.
I just don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.
Communication with Raymond relies more on letters.
But now that I think about it, there are really too many things that are wrong.
As one of the natural leaders of pure-bloodism, Gaunt found a squib as a vassal and asked him to help them expand their power in the Muggle world.
In this sentence, the first half and the second half have nothing to do with the word reasonable.
And after Luke analyzed it, he knew that Raymond either knew nothing about such a question, or he would never tell the truth when he asked this question.
It was hard for him to imagine that when he asked Raymond this question, Raymond gave his answer calmly. When he asked him why he didn't tell him before, Raymond said to himself, "You didn't ask."
The style of painting will be wrong.
For some people, it seems that there are many secrets, and telling them will not do anyone any good. Dumbledore's old Riddler was like that. Of course, the forbidden knowledge he has hidden in his heart may be really harmful to people if he speaks it out?
Luke himself can't tell for sure, but this kid has been stubborn since he was a child, and if I can't ask questions, I'll look it up myself.
Wherever you walk, you will leave traces. Luke couldn't believe that there was something else that he couldn't figure out why even after he took the trouble to check it.
Of course, what if there is?
Just save your dignity and ask. What else can I do... How much is face worth when it comes to some important secrets?
So Luke didn't think too much and simply walked directly into his small bedroom.
Although the bedroom area has been extended infinitely, it still doesn't look too big. The bed occupies more than half of the space, and at first glance, it seems that the most expensive thing in the room is the bed.
It’s not that other things aren’t expensive. Instead, gems and gold threads are used to frame patterns, quilts are sewn from fabrics imbued with magical power, and beds are carved from wood that exudes the breath of life... The value of this bed is so high that it seems like nothing else is worth it. How expensive.
It can only be said that people in the Gunter family care about the quality of their sleep.
However, Luke had no intention of falling asleep now. Instead, he went straight to a big box in the corner of his room.
He put his hand on the snake head pattern on the box and twisted it slightly, and there was a crisp "click" sound inside the box.
Then Luke opened the lid of the box and saw the stairs going down. Luke climbed into the box and walked slowly down.
After he went down, the snake head of the snake-shaped eucalyptus on the outside of the box moved back again, and then there was a pile of gorgeous clothes at the entrance of the stairs, and some scattered jewelry rose up from below, filling the entire box. After that, the lid of the box closed by itself, and everything returned to calm.
Luke, who entered the lower part, looked at the book storage room in front of him, which was smaller than the Hogwarts library, but only one size smaller, with a calm expression on his face.
He didn't think it was big before. Even when he entered Hogwarts and saw the Hogwarts library, he lamented that the Hogwarts library was not as big as he imagined.
Hermione asked him why then. He said that the book storage room in his home was a little smaller than this library, but only a little smaller.
Then Hermione asked him to think about it. Is it that the library at Hogwarts is too small, or that the library storage room at home is too big?
A snake-shaped magic lamp illuminates the place like daylight. Luke also knew that these snake-shaped magic lamps were not only magic lamps, but also the defense facilities of the book storage room.
Once someone breaks into the storage room, the consequences will not be good.
As for what doesn't count as an intrusion...Luke hasn't figured it out yet. If the items in the treasure house were left over many years ago, then this library storage room is standard and passed down from generation to generation. Talk about forbidden knowledge. There is much more here than in the treasure house.
Luke stood at the entrance to the treasure house and picked up a thin slate on the table at the entrance.
There are simply a few entries engraved on it, such as "History", "Biomagic Knowledge", "Political Means", and "Charms". These entries only occupy most of the slate from top to bottom, and there are still some blank spaces, as if they are waiting to be filled.
Luke searched on the slate page and found the entry he needed among the top entries. Then he stretched out his finger, pressed it on it, and injected magic power.
In a flash of light, Luke disappeared from where he was.
The light and shadow in front of Luke's eyes changed, and he saw the sign hanging on the bookshelf to his left.
"Family Secret Notes"
This is the name of this collection of books. What can be seen is that in addition to a large number of filled bookshelves, more bookshelves are still empty, seemingly waiting for people to fill them.
Luke did not walk into the bookshelf immediately. After placing the slate on the small table aside, he first looked at the familiar line of small characters under the title, but he had only regarded it as a joke before.
"We keep our secrets here. But don't look through our diaries! Unless you really need to."
The words "unless you really need to" are especially small. To the point where you can't even see it without looking carefully. And the words "But don't look through our diaries casually!" are particularly big. The exclamation mark is even written in red.
These diaries may be related to the privacy of the ancestors, or may be dangerous. Previously, Luke would have just laughed it off. To be honest, although some of their diaries are quite interesting, most of them are just a running account.
The heirs of the Gaunt family are all good at grammar. Even if it is a running account, it can be written with the same graceful style and moving emotions as prose.
But a running account is a running account, and this diary thing...who knows how true or false it is.
Luke doesn't keep a diary anyway, but based on his knowledge of himself, he doesn't think the diary he writes will be very objective.
Exaggeration and self-aggrandizement are a given. Being human is almost inevitable.
Looking at these diaries, firstly, the tall image of the ancestors can easily be destroyed, and secondly, they are really not as interesting as the various other records they left behind and the secrets related to each family.
The latter can be read as an adventure story or a horror story. It was also an important prop for Luke to kill boredom when he was a child.
But now, Luke can only look through the diary. The ancestors started writing diaries at different times, and Luke didn't know if he would be able to find the information he wanted.
However, he still walked into it and began to look for the name that Nico Flamel could not forget.
Jess Gunter.
It's actually not hard to find. Although each generation can basically fill a bookshelf, the books here are still not vast.
After all, it is almost passed down from generation to generation. Do you expect such a family to have many people?
Not much even if you include branches.
So without much effort, Luke found the bookshelf left by Jace Gunter.
This is a well-stocked bookshelf. The life of this ancestor seems to be quite eventful. As for the diary, Luke fell into deep thought after reading it for a while.
Nearly two rows of diaries... How did the ancestors of this family do it?
Luke looked at each diary and felt a headache for a while. It seemed that he was about to be tortured by those flashy grammar and baseless boasts for a while.
And this amount...it's not like I can finish it in one Christmas vacation.
But at this point, Luke could only take out his wand and let all these diaries float down from the bookshelf. Then he controlled them to fly with him as he walked out of the bookshelf. When he returned to the small table, he picked up the slate. A little more.
The next moment, both Luke and Shu returned to the hall where they started.
Luke put the book on the big desk not far away, and then prepared to return to the small table and put the slate away. This is a very important index directory. Although the ancestors left behind methods of repair and reconstruction, there are too many high-end magics involved.
Luke decided to keep it safe and not lose it, let alone break it.
But before he could place the slate, he heard the piercing sound of the snake-shaped magic lamps.
Luke's expression changed. This was someone approaching the hut, but having his own scent on him, which was taken as a reminder that a friend was visiting.
"Who is the one?"
With this question in mind, Luke walked towards the exit.
Luke moved quickly, and within a few moments, he appeared at the door.
Then he saw Gemma, who was surrounded by snakes and not far from the hut.
Gemma was carrying a food box, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face.
"I want to give you a surprise. I know there should be no one at home." Gemma looked around and saw that the long and colorful creatures were quite uncomfortable. "But I didn't expect that your family would There are so many…friends.”
Luke froze for a moment, then laughed.
