After getting the name Apos Valley, Luke did not leave immediately. Instead, after the books and maps returned to their original positions, he waved over the stone slab again.
He wrote the name Apos Valley on it, and the option "Found three books containing this keyword, one of which was just read, do you want to call again" popped up on the slate. Luke chose no. He had lived through that diary, and there was nothing deeper to dig into.
And after that...
The three words "Called" appeared on the stone slab. Soon, the sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The two books flew between the bookcases like butterflies through flowers, and in a blink of an eye they flew to the table in front of Luke.
Luke sat down again and read silently. But this time, no useful information was obtained. These two books, one is a travelogue and the other is a personal biography, were both left by our ancestors many generations ago. Quite a distance from Luke and his dad. And the descriptions are just passing by. Among them, the Apos Valley in the personal biography, after Luke researched it, he found that it was not the same place as the Apos Valley he was looking for. It can only be said to be a coincidence.
But it’s not completely without reference value…
At the very least, the travel book shows that the Apos Valley has existed for a long time. If nothing else, if there really is any secret in this valley, then this secret may be traced back to more than 400 years ago.
If you think about it this way, history doesn't seem to be too long.
Luke has never been a very executive person. His plans are often well designed. But compared to strictly executing the plan, he prefers to modify his plan at any time to make it consistent with the actual situation.
This can be regarded as an ability that people who implement long-term planning must possess. After all, everything in the world is in motion and changing all the time. Even though these movement changes follow certain laws on a macro scale, no one can avoid accidents on a micro scale.
Therefore, adaptability to changes is an absolute must quality.
But Luke is somewhat morbid in what he does. Even for those relatively small plans, he will adhere to the principle of adapting to circumstances.
Generally speaking, it can be understood that in addition to nA, he can also say "I have an idea" at any time.
This situation is actually not entirely a good thing. After all, no one can guarantee that every decision they make on the spot is correct. After all, there are indeed many things that can be seen in on-the-spot reactions, but the uncertainty has inevitably become stronger.
Fortunately, every improvisation Luke has made so far has not made things worse, but has made things as good as possible. I have to say, this is really a rare good thing.
In a sense, this is because Luke has too many whimsical ideas, and when faced with these whimsical ideas, he will carefully consider whether they are right or wrong, whether they are acceptable or not, so it seems that There is a lot of hesitation when doing things.
But this time, Luke didn't hesitate.
After getting the answer he wanted, Luke left the library. To be honest, Luke's confusion was indeed solved this time, but it also made Luke aware of a bigger mystery.
What is the Gunter family hiding? What is their pursuit? Was his arrival a failure of their original plan? Or is it part of the plan?
This made Luke's expression become more serious.
He just prayed now that it wouldn't be the worst case scenario he thought. Otherwise...why would you want to change the world? No matter how you change, you are just an ant under someone else's feet.
So, Luke shook his head and got rid of those not-so-good thoughts.
"The matter has come to this. If you do it, you will do it. If you don't do it, you will do it." Luke's eyes flashed with a fierce look, "I want the truth, and I also want the goal."
His temperament is actually relatively peaceful. Compared with his colleagues in the previous life, he is not greedy for money and does not like gambling. Although he loves beauty, he gets it in a wise way.
After coming to this world, because my body was not yet mature, I loved beauty.
The weakness is difficult to challenge for the time being. So now he is indeed invulnerable in a sense.
Therefore...as long as he wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do.
"After all...it's better to protect yourself."
This adventure was not planned. It's best to get the answer. If you can't get it, you can't give up too many things for the answer. That's the real loss.
After Luke made up his mind, he went to the warehouse at home and began to collect things.
He really didn't know what was in that valley.
So there are a lot of things to prepare. For camping, for self-defense, for tracking, for capturing, for escaping... everything.
There are actually not many magical items circulating on the market in the wizarding world. Because the manufacture of magical items, that is, magic props, requires quite powerful alchemy. Alchemy is a course that is not included in the required courses at Hogwarts.
Even if it is an elective, there are not many candidates. Because there are many things to learn. The alchemy professor at Hogwarts was just a half-baked alchemist, not a capable master of alchemy. Therefore, students are not very enthusiastic about choosing this class to mix credits.
Even if you study hard, you may not be able to learn anything. But if you don't study hard, you won't be able to pass the final exam in a rush given the complexity of this thing. So it seems that this course is extremely useless.
This is not a Hogwarts school problem. Most wizarding schools have no one to teach alchemy. The alchemy courses at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are undoubtedly the best. After all, the world's greatest alchemist master was the director of his school, which gave him some benefits.
Just this little benefit is enough to widen the gap between Beauxbatons and other schools in this course.
The lack of alchemists directly resulted in only a very small amount of things that had considerable effects and could not be mass-produced by magic workshops circulating on the market. And because of the low overall level of alchemists, the types of magic items circulating on the market are poor.
At the same time, this also leads to the reason why so-called magic items are usually found in antique stores.
And when Luke walked into his treasure room, although he had long been used to what he saw in front of him, he still had to sigh that his family was a wealthy family.
He knew the rarity and value of these things. He didn't understand much when he was a child, but when he grew up, he realized that when he was a child, he was the one who really held gold and begged for food.
But there is no way. He couldn't spend the gold because he had no way to contact the outside world. So if you don't have food, you will have to go hungry.
Now, Luke was walking through the treasure room, picking out what he needed on the shelves.
The special magic tent not only provides a comfortable accommodation environment, but also has the effects of warning, defense and half a magic position. Even if you think about it with your toes, you will know that it must be worth a lot of money. But it's really worth the price.
After all, when you go out, especially in the wild, it is quite inevitable to want to sleep, but don't dare to sleep too much. But with this thing, this kind of thing doesn't seem so difficult.
Sleep peacefully, this thing is definitely better than the detection with your naked eyes. If I can hide it from you, I can certainly hide it from you.
Apart from this, although other things are not common, their functions are relatively easy to understand. In the end, it's just that.
Luke quickly armed himself with more than a dozen magic props of various functions.
If Arthur Weiss was forced to take over Luke and steal Luke in his current state, the financial situation of the Weiss family would improve overnight. It can even reach the living standard of a normal middle-class noble.
It can only be said that the Gunter family's family background is indeed... something.
After arming yourself...Luke, it's time to go.
……………………
In fact, Luna didn't know why she came to this forest.
We have reached the border of England here. If we continue walking, we can see the ocean.
Luna jumped freely in the forest like a deer, her platinum hair rising and falling with the rise and fall of her body, her eyes looking around, full of curiosity.
Xenophilius Lovegood, who should usually be inseparable from his daughter, was missing this time. It seems that he didn't follow him at all.
The overall atmosphere of the forest is dark and oppressive, with dark green leaves and thick crowns that block the sky and sun.
In such an environment, Luna is still at ease. It can only be said that she is indeed very courageous. At the same time, the wreath on Luna's head seemed to be the most vibrant color in this forest.
"What lies deep in the forest?"
Luna stopped, looked at the deeper darkness ahead, and asked curiously.
"We're already here. Can you tell me?"
If Luna has changed anything after getting to know Luke. That should mean that in addition to maintaining his romantic nature, he is also a little more vigilant and careful. Luna has these two characteristics, but she just can't see them when it's not necessary.
Many people who have not had close contact with Luna are turned away by her character. Words such as being ignorant of current affairs, having no sense of proportion, and being crazy can all be applied to Luna. In a sense, that's true. Luna's behavior is indeed very different from ordinary people, but it does not mean that she is really a "crazy girl".
"Huh? You said there is what I want most in this?"
Luna frowned and asked with some confusion: "But, there are many things I want, and these things cannot appear in the same place."
She wants to find the Crescent-Horned Snorlax to prove her father is right. I also want to find what Luke needs, the powerful tool that can suppress everyone. He also wanted to find a way to perfect the curse that killed his mother.
There are many more things she wants. How can she find answers to these things in such a forest?
But there was still a gentle voice in my mind.
"Go and find out. What you want can become a reality. And after you have power, other things you want will be easy. Although I don't advocate the supremacy of power, but from my experience. As long as With power, anyone can solve at least 80% of their troubles."
Luke said this too.
And the tone is very similar.
There's more to life than power. But with power, you will have less troubles.
"Then... take a look."
Luna didn't hesitate too much. It was different from Luke who had to make arrangements at any time and hesitated before setting off. Luna is a standard action person. As long as you have an idea, you will implement it. Little care is given to time and place.
For example, promoting "The Quibbler" is something she does almost all the time.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Luke and Luna are familiar with each other and have a very close relationship, so they will not easily ridicule them, and more people are willing to understand Luna, a person who has caught Luke's eye.
Therefore, in the current Hogwarts, Luna is not a crazy girl that everyone dislikes. She can only be regarded as a relatively unique little witch.
Life is always so realistic. Anyone who has spent time with Luna will understand why Luke looks at such a little girl differently. I can only envy, but cannot become.
Luna hummed a light tune in her mouth, carried a big bag on her back, and continued to jump into the depths of the forest.
……………………
A few days later.
Although Luke identified the suspicious location. But this does not mean that he is really reassured by the conclusions he has drawn. In order to make sure there were no mistakes, he directly rode on his magic broom and flew towards the position indicated by the compass.
It has to be said that the development of the times has brought improvements in the quality of life to both Muggles and wizards.
"This thing sits up taller than the magic broom from six hundred years ago.
Comfortable. "
Luke was flying fast on his Firebolt.
Although Firebolts are difficult to buy, Luke doesn't need to buy them himself. This Firebolt was also given by Sirius. He had to buy a broom for Harry anyway, so giving one to Luke was a token of appreciation.
After all, Sirius owed Luke a huge debt. The kind that involves oneself. A broom is nothing.
Sirius didn't care, and neither did Luke. But this kind of style still makes people around him a little jealous.
Of course, after Luke got it back, he made some modifications. The invisible windshield was thickened and widened, and the invisible cushion underneath was also thickened and widened. Sitting on a broomstick was destined to be uncomfortable, so Luke could only make himself as comfortable as possible.
In this way, Luke flew in the sky for several days. The red dot is still at the edge of the compass.
Luke wiped his face. Even if he didn't look at it, he knew that he must have a look of vicissitudes of life now.
He took out the map and glanced at his flight trajectory on the map. He was almost near the Apos Valley at this time.
Luke glanced at the compass again. If his guess was correct, then the position of the red dot on the compass would soon change from the edge to within the compass.
