Chapter 178 PH
Loila looked in the direction of Mr. Lupin's voice and paused when she saw the notebook in his hand.
Is this some kind of new magic circle?
Loila was unconsciously a little excited. She ran over to Lupin with the parchment in her hand and stared longingly at the notebook in his hand.
Don't look like I'm going to snatch the notebook away—Lupin shook his head helplessly and handed the notebook to Loila.
"Hmm!"
Upon seeing the contents above, Loila's eyes widened.
"On September 8th, the first experiment began—this time it involved combining the energy storage magic array with other magic arrays—"
""
"Based on the properties of the energy storage magic array, we know that—"
This is—this is an experiment notebook?! Loila hugged the notebook with delight. From now on, this notebook would be the most precious thing she owned!
Wait a minute—Loila quickly opened the notebook and glanced at it. After confirming that it really was just a notebook, she breathed a sigh of relief—she didn't want this notebook to be associated with any dark wizards again.
You're not a talking notebook, are you? Stop playing dead! Loira subconsciously tapped the notebook—and after receiving no response, she felt completely relieved.
Hmm—my luck isn't so bad after all—thinking this, Loila turned a few more pages.
"The fusion of the energy storage magic array and the magic array was very successful. Furthermore, there has been progress regarding the magic array as well."
If it succeeds—I might know how to create a new magic circle—”
The ellipsis here is not the result of Roy deliberately omitting it—it's because these characters on the notebook are no longer legible.
Loila's blue eyes were filled with disbelief—was this some kind of novel plot? The most crucial part was worn or obscured—preventing the protagonist from obtaining the most critical information for a moment—
Even in Mr. Lockhart's books, this kind of scene doesn't appear very often!
Seeing that Roy seemed to be standing there in a daze, Lupin also peeked over and took a few glances.
"Ah—" he raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems impossible to identify it—"
"Hmm—" Loila bit her lip in disappointment. If she could know the contents now—not to mention whether she would learn about new magic circles—she would at least know how to create new magic circles.
Creating a magic circle—this was just as tempting to Loila as the Curved Horned Snoring Beast was to Luna—you should know that even Loila's father had never mastered how to create a new magic circle.
He was already the most skilled magic array user that Loila had ever met!
She was also the only magic array expert that Loila had ever met.
Wait a minute—Loila patted her face as if she had just remembered something, and her previously droopy ears perked up.
I can't let myself be so disappointed. The owner of this notebook is just another magic array expert, isn't he?
Loila began flipping through the notebook rapidly, trying to find the author's name—but unexpectedly discovered that the notebook contained more than just notes.
"On December 3rd, the work on the magic array here came to an end. After all, no new magic arrays appeared here. However, the ideas mentioned are still very important—such as the creation of new magic arrays."
Why did you stop writing here?
"On December 5th, I received a letter from home, it seemed to be from Edward — I really wanted to burn it."
"On December 6th, I decided to leave. I urgently need some useful magic array materials. Heading north might be a good option, or perhaps I should go to a place where wizards gather —"
"December 7th, this should be my last diary entry here. I've decided to leave the notebook here. Wouldn't it be interesting if some new guests came and saw my notes?"
"Ah—let's just erase all the important parts and play a treasure hunt!"
"You bastard! So you deliberately made sure the contents of this notebook were invisible?!" Loila gripped her wand tightly, furious. "If only I could use spells across time and space! I'd give the owner of this notebook a Cruciatus Curse!"
"So, the person who is looking at this notebook now, if you are interested in magic arrays, please put the notebook away and head north to find my traces."
"If you're not interested, that's fine too. Just treat it as me rambling on."
""
The notebook's owner paused here, then continued, "There are naturally no clues, since I haven't decided where to go yet."
"Could it be Austria? Or maybe Czechoslovakia?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll write down my findings in the next notebook." He paused, then added, "Ah—it seems a bit inappropriate not to reveal my identity."
"However, names seem a bit private, and I still hope to keep my secret."
"How about this, you can just call me PH."
"Of course, I'll give you some hints for the next book, provided you can find it."
"I'd say it's very difficult, wouldn't you say?"
"But the more difficult it is, the more valuable my notes become, right?"
The notebook ended there, and Loila silently slammed it shut.
What kind of author is this?! It's like the story abruptly ended at its most crucial point; the most important content of this book has to be found in another book?!
Is this some kind of treasure hunt game? Loila hasn't played this kind of game since she was ten years old!
But—but if I don't go treasure hunting—it seems like I don't have any other options—Loy doesn't remember knowing anyone named PH.
The owner of this notebook must have a strong mischievous streak! Loila took a deep breath and looked helplessly at Mr. Lupin.
"It doesn't seem to be going very well?" Lupin thought for a moment and asked, "Is it related to the owner of the notebook?"
"Hmm————" Loila nodded slightly, then put away her notebook and looked around.
If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this notebook definitely didn't leave anything useful here—besides the experimental materials, everything related to magic arrays and their creation must have been moved away.
Transferred to his treasure —
But at least there's a clue—it might be in Austria or Czechoslovakia—good, I need to find a room in either country that's about the same size as my attic room in Durmstrang.
Even with the Tracking Charm, this was destined to be a very troublesome task—but fortunately, Loila wasn't afraid of trouble, and she pursed her lips and immediately made up her mind.
I need to spend this summer vacation searching for the whereabouts of the notes.
