Chapter 611 There Are Already Two People in This Memory...
Luna slowly told him about this experience while pulling Ivan out of the door.
Listening, Ivan learned some of Luna's childhood past.
The Nofgood family are complete workaholics and researchaholics.
Xenophilius's main job is as the editor-in-chief of the magazine "The Quibbler". In his free time, he likes to study some weird rumors, and he also does a lot of research on insects in the magical world.
The little witch's mother is keen on the research and improvement of magic spells. Apart from taking care of the housework and teaching Luna, she spends the rest of her time on this.
"During that time, the business of the newspaper was not very good. My father had a headache because of this. He worried about finding hot news materials every day...but his readers always didn't buy it. If this continued, the family would be in trouble. We have to make ends meet.”
"It just so happens that my mother is developing a new type of explosive spell. If she can succeed, it will be big news!"
Luna's ethereal voice reached his ears along the breeze. Ivan looked at the mother and daughter leaving the hut, and then at Xenophilius who stayed in the studio writing a manuscript.
"Then your father doesn't know about this?" Ivan asked curiously.
"She didn't let me tell dad..." Luna shook her head. This spell was very dangerous. There were some mistakes during the previous experiment, and her mother was almost injured. For this reason, her parents had a rare quarrel. One plane.
Xenophilius did not quite approve of his wife doing such dangerous research.
But Ivan was confused, why did Luna's mother take her daughter with her when doing the experiment? Wasn't she worried that the curse would be out of control and spread?
Could it be that he was acting as an assistant to record some data? But isn’t Luna too young?
The doubts in Ivan's heart were quickly answered.
The witch took the young Luna into a dense forest not too far from home. After casting an iron armor spell on herself, she took out a package and handed it to her daughter, and told her to stand farther away. .
The sharp-eyed Ivan noticed that the package contained some green potion. With his knowledge of potions, he could tell at a glance that it was specially used to treat burns.
From this inference, the other party regards Luna as the last insurance.
Apparently the witch also understood the dangers of the experiment and was always vigilant.
Generally speaking, the protection of the Iron Armor Curse and the specialized healing potions are enough to deal with most emergencies, not to mention the fact that Luna is watching over her as a child. If an emergency occurs, she can run back and notify Xie at any time. Come Nophilius.
"Mother said that this was the last experiment and that her spell was about to be completed..." Luna looked at this scene blankly and sighed sadly.
Ivan didn't know how to comfort him.
Just as Ivan expected, when she read the last word, the blasting spell released by the witch was completely out of control!
The magic that was supposed to be directed at the enemy ended up backfired on itself. The fire that burst out illuminated the dense forest, and a huge explosion resounded through the sky.
The defense of the Iron Armor Curse failed to play its due role in the face of this force, and was easily torn into pieces. The witch's body was thrown up like flying catkins, and was completely lifeless when she fell to the ground. .
The corpse was turbid and blurry. Ivan estimated that this was due to the shock to Luna's mind, which forcibly blurred the memory of her mother's death.
He could imagine how much of a psychological shadow it would have on a nine-year-old girl to see her mother die in an explosion.
Thinking of this, Ivan turned his head and looked over. Young Luna's face was full of fear and sluggishness. She staggered to the witch's body and stood there, shouting something in a low voice. , stretched out his hands, but did not dare to touch.
It was so pitiful that Ivan was a little worried.
A few seconds later, Xenophilius, who heard the explosion, apparated here. He knelt down in front of the witch's body like crazy, cried bitterly, and shouted something loudly.
Ivan couldn't hear clearly, probably because Luna couldn't remember it when she was young.
"I'm sorry!" Ivan said with a sigh. If he had to choose again, he would never ask Luna to practice Legilimency magic.
"It's not your fault, I also want to see her again..." Luna pursed her lips and shook her head, even if it was just in her memory.
"Dad also told me that as long as I am willing to believe, I will definitely have the opportunity to see my mother again in the future, not just in memory or in dreams... He will not lie to me! Never..." Luna's melodious voice echoed in this dense forest.
Ivan hesitated to speak. Resurrection of the dead is not impossible in the magic world, but it is very difficult to save a witch who died in an explosion five years ago, almost zero.
Xenophilius was undoubtedly deceiving Luna, giving her an illusory hope as a spiritual support, hoping that time would heal the trauma.
Ivan could tell that Luna probably really believed it, or that she could only believe it this way...
The story in the memory continues. After Luna's mother died, there was no laughter in Lovegood's mansion.
In order to forget the pain, Xenophilius devoted himself to the research of those legends. He was not good at housework and left the mansion in a mess. He relied on magic to do simple tidying up every time.
Although he still cared deeply for Luna, he was busy with research and work and couldn't spend much time with his daughter.
Without playmates of the same age, the jungle became Luna's childhood destination!
Just like an elf in a Muggle story, a young witch with long pale golden hair wandered alone in the dense forest.
She knows every animal in the jungle and can clearly call out their scientific names. She even named a deer and a few squirrels. Her greatest pleasure is to look for those unseen creatures in the jungle.
Every time you find a new creature, it's like discovering a treasure for the little witch.
"Oh, by the way, dad said that there are still bent-horned snorkelers here, but they are probably too afraid of me and have never shown their faces." Luna said regretfully.
Ivan looked at Luna. Although the little witch's face was very peaceful, even with a little nostalgia, he still felt the deep loneliness from it.
"Will you feel lonely then?" Ivan couldn't help but ask, and then he felt that his question was too stupid and a bit annoying.
"Sometimes, but not now..." Luna nodded, shook her head again, and said with a chuckle.
Ivan looked at her confused, not quite understanding what Luna meant.
The little witch looked a little dazed. She turned her head and stared at Ivan with a pair of bright eyes. "There are two people in this memory now, aren't there?"
