The so-called life is actually a journey again and again.
You can see a lot on the long journey, and you can experience it differently when you rest.
The furthest journey in Luke's life was undoubtedly a journey from one world to another. All achievements and all ties in the other world will be left behind. Fortunately, he is open-minded and has no regrets.
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 alone on his big bed, looking at the ceiling with a blank look on his face.
Since he fully accepted himself, he has become very indifferent to some things, but very concerned about other things.
Many things from the past life can be completely let go. But accordingly. Those people related to the current body have become living bonds.
The fact that his parents were still alive made him feel a little confused and overwhelmed.
"Maybe he really is his long-lost brother?"
He twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself.
After all, if it comes down to it, he still prefers this guess. Apart from anything else, a long-lost brother is easier to accept than his parents who have not cared about him for so many years.
When your parents have not been heard from for more than ten years, it is better to be dead. If they have not come to you for more than ten years without encountering any accidents, then... forget it, it is better to live.
Luke sighed, then looked at the cat and snake next to him.
The owl was no longer with him, the owl was now permanently at Gemma's side. So that Gemma can send a message to herself. By the way, Luke still doesn't 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 deliver letters into the mailbox. But the owl he owns can find his master.
It can only be said that there are so many magical methods in the wizarding world that even owls cannot escape the fate of being squeezed.
Therefore, I have to take these two little guys with me when I go out this time.
He didn't plan to bring anyone else with him to find the location of the red dot. But that doesn't mean he wants to face the loneliness and pressure alone.
Taking two little guys with him is a kind of relaxation for him.
"But... let's let it sit for a couple of days first..."
Luke turned over, covered himself with the quilt, looked at the moonlight outside the window, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, Luke woke up early and opened his eyes. He dressed calmly and orderly, and then entered his library.
On the slate, Luke wrote two options: "World Map" and "Robert Gaunt's Diary".
Then Luke walked to the big desk on the 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, there are bulges where mountains should be, depressions where valleys should be, and water waves rippling where there should be seas... Compared with a pure map, it is more like a map. Topographic map of spheres of influence.
Luke looked at the map and shook his head.
This map is much more detailed and easy to use than the wizarding world maps on the market.
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 above. Luke looked at this huge world and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"It's a big project."
Although the bloodline compass can point out the direction of the opponent. But Luke still believes that we can’t hit the road blindly. Always have to plan a little ahead. So he decided to take a look first to see which positions were more suspicious.
It's fine if it's still within Europe. But if... it's really far away...
At this moment, several diaries flew from the bookshelf to Luke's desk, neatly stacked, waiting for Luke to read through.
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 hesitated again.
His plan has now come to a head. Although it doesn't mean that I can't live without him. But taking more care can always make you feel more at ease.
So... put aside the plan that was in full swing and take the risk to find his parents who have been missing for many years. Is it considered a wise choice?
"Damn, this kind of thing seems to have nothing to do with the main plot..."
Luke recalled the main mission given to him by the system. To be honest, given the current situation, this main mission can be done with or without his parents.
But...can we really give up and not look for it?
If Luke could really see so clearly and make up his mind so decisively, of course he wouldn't be as entangled as he is now. But with this kind of thing in front of us, can we really make a choice easily?
Luke fell silent. But after a moment of silence, the confusion in his eyes subsided. Take out the bloodline compass from the system space and place it on the map. Then the index fingers of his left and right hands were placed on the two corners of the map, expanding and expanding them.
Eventually, the hut appears in the center of the map.
Luke placed the compass on the hut, then took a quill on the table, without dipping it in ink, and drew a long line on the map in the direction indicated by the compass.
Then, Luke did not rush to start sliding the map immediately. Instead, he sat back in his chair, picked up a diary, and started reading.
He has read many ancestors' diaries. Jess Gunter's diary is the most read. But to be fair, Luke never thought of himself as a real fun person. He is not very interested in other people's dark histories.
So I don’t have much interest in reading diaries. There are so many books in the library. Apart from diaries with relatively watery contents, those compiled travel notes, personal biographies and the like are obviously more useful.
But now, in order to find any clues that his father might have left behind, he decided to read his father's diary. Start from the very beginning and try to find some more meaningful information.
For example, since childhood, what has had the deepest impact on Robert Gunter?
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 you don't like Shui Wen, dad."
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 felt a bright feeling. His father was indeed different from his ancestor Jace Gunter. He still remembers the second grade of Jace Gunter's ancestor. 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 will always be
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, it's better to try to change your thinking, or give up directly."
"Giving up is not as shameful as you think. I hope you understand this."
"Of course, I was still a child when I wrote these words. These are what my father told me. I can't read his diary yet, so I don't know if he wrote these words out. But I think he just said it. When I started writing the diary, I probably didn’t have such a mind.”
"So... the beginning of my diary is much better than his!"
Luke felt quite emotional as he read on. 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 left a blank page. Prepare to write something when you are old. It won't make the naivety of young people look so embarrassing.
But in the end, he still looked down upon his father, and he didn't come up with this trick. I'm just simply imitating my grandpa. In the last sentence, the pride revealed between the lines really made Luke couldn't help but smile.
But I can’t keep laughing. So Luke continued
Robert Gunter's life cannot be said to be that wonderful. Although he was born in a turbulent era. But whether it is a good family background or a way of being isolated from the world, Gunter of their branch is not harmed by any harm in the chaos.
They have no intention of going out to get involved. During Grindelwald's time, the Gaunt family was still alive. If they go out now, they will only expose themselves and even arouse the hostility of Gaunt on the surface. The gain outweighs the loss.
The second time, the turmoil caused by Voldemort made them even less likely to take the initiative to get involved. After all, Voldemort finally killed this Gaunt on the surface. When they go out, they may not be treated as such.
Dealing with Voldemort was a scary thing. What is even more terrifying is naturally being targeted by Voldemort. That's a real lunatic. Do not touch porcelain with earthen pots. So they chose to remain hidden.
It can be said that it is cowardly, but it is not a bad thing to be cowardly.
As the diary unfolded, among the many words such as "Qing, nothing happened today, practicing magic." Luke finally saw the life of Robert Gaunt.
Very talented, far more than his father. Practicing most white magic doesn't take much time. After all, black magic requires some relatively extreme emotions, so when it comes to learning, for a person with a good background, what is more difficult may be the cultivation of such emotions.
Luke was so impressed when he saw his father's study career.
This guy is a pure natural genius.
But apart from his genius in this area, Robert Gunter is relatively dull in other aspects. Of course, the most important thing in later life is getting married and having children.
This is almost a top priority for a noble family.
But Robert Gunter seems a bit clumsy when it comes to pursuing Keisha Ross.
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 I asked for help from those around me.
After his request was fruitless, Robert Gunter reluctantly cast a spell on his boss, then left all his money and ran away.
Just kidding... Do you still expect him to stay here and work illegally? Stop dreaming. He has never done any housework at home. Do you expect him to serve Muggles outside?
This is not the first time I have done this. It can be said that I am familiar with it.
Keisha Gaunt, as a witch who came to the Muggle world for the first time, had no experience or any teaching, and had no idea about the currency and the purchasing power of money in the Muggle world.
She found some money from some robbers who wanted to rob her. But if you have a lot of
If they had more money, these robbers would not go out to work, but would find a tavern to drink.
So...she doesn't have enough money either.
Fortunately, Muggles can't feel magic fluctuations, but as a wizard, she can. She followed suit and escaped from the tavern.
Soon, the two people met each other. Keisha Gaunt took the initiative to ask some things about the Muggle world. In view of Keisha Gunter's excellent appearance, Robert Gunter cooperated and taught her some basic knowledge.
There was nothing dangerous or romantic about Luke's parents' first meeting.
Some of them were just two wizards on the run from their jobs, and they just got interested in each other after seeing each other.
When he saw this, Luke put down the diary and rubbed his eyebrows.
It seems to be just a short paragraph. But this is many years. Luke has read several diaries and can only say...
"This thing really has no reference value."
After sighing, Luke decided to finish reading.
Then, his eyes finally shined.
