Chapter 159 Luna's Glasses
Unlike Dumbledore and Lupin, who engage in some perplexing behavior in the headmaster's office... aha...
Only Dumbledore, not Lupin, engages in confusing behavior.
In short, unlike the farce in the principal's office, Kane was really focused as he walked toward the kitchen, and then he watched Lockhart with packages of all sizes floating behind him as he walked downstairs.
"Hello Lockhart, how does it feel to finish work?" Kane asked, raising an eyebrow behind Lockhart. He looked at this guy who couldn't even use spells properly before becoming a professor, but after a semester of private tutoring from Dumbledore, he was already able to fool a fifth-year wizard through the entire course on dark magic.
This kind of progress is truly due to talent.
"Yeah, not bad. When I get back, I can finally release my new book... a completely original book!"
Lockhart looked at Kane walking beside him, a strange feeling welling up inside him.
Well, although his initial interaction with Kane wasn't exactly positive, and throughout the semester Dumbledore spent significantly more time with Kane, Lockhart still had one decent friend at Hogwarts who wouldn't secretly stab him in the back or harbor resentment towards him.
It really must be Kane... Oh, right, Kane wouldn't secretly look down on himself from the bottom of his heart. From the first moment he realized his incompetent state, he didn't really consider himself a human being.
But people are strange like that. For example, Lockhart now actually feels that Kane has a bit of honesty, so there is trust and friendship.
Based on this friendship, Lockhart decided to tell Kane what he wanted to say... After all, every writer has the desire to confide, otherwise they wouldn't have embarked on this path.
And Kane, true to form, struck up a conversation with a friendly question: "Have you finished your first original book? What role do I play in it?"
Lockhart pursed his lips somewhat awkwardly: "Do you know Sherlock and Watson? You are the most important partner of the great Lockhart, and of course, I am your most important partner as well."
"Hmm, I'll write to you next time I encounter some life-threatening danger."
"Ah..." Lockhart paused awkwardly for a moment, then Kane waved his hand even more impolitely and said something hurtful.
"Don't worry, I won't. I wouldn't carry a burden around when doing something important and dangerous. Wouldn't that be like asking for trouble? I'm more curious about your previous victims than your book?"
Lockhart's expression became somewhat unnatural: "You're talking about the real people behind those stories. You mean I should compensate them?"
"I have no right to say that." Kane shrugged, but looking at Lockhart, who had taken the initiative to speak frankly, he was somewhat surprised to find that this good-for-nothing professor was actually quite human.
"What do you think of a quarter of the royalties? That's definitely a very substantial income, and I think it's enough for them, considering they don't have my writing ability... If this story were given to them, it would only become something they brag about in the Leaky Cauldron, but if it's given to me..."
Kane moved a little further away from Lockhart with some reluctance, but it seemed that Lockhart had long intended to compensate the victims, but had not yet made up his mind.
I mentioned it to myself today, and I actually decided to do it... It's personification, but sadly, I unconsciously used his ability to boast again.
"A master at writing pretentious stories." Kane commented, looking at Lockhart walking ahead with his half-moon eyes. Suddenly, with a click, a pair of glasses with red and blue lenses and a four-finger-sized frame fell off the large bag Lockhart was carrying.
"Hmm? These glasses?" Kane reached out, and Shadow handed him the glasses.
Lockhart also heard the sound, stopped his self-praise, stood up, and looked at the glasses in Kane's hand: "Ah, these belong to Luna, the first-year witch you know so well."
"What's wrong with these glasses? Are they magic glasses?" Kane frowned and subconsciously put the glasses on his face.
Then his expression went blank and he broke down.
"My hair?"
While Kane was still bewildered, Lockhart continued his incessant chatter...
"That's how it is. I figured I should get some souvenirs since I taught for a whole semester. And the first-year wizards were perfect. I was their first professor, and they were my first group of students. So I found a reason to confiscate something from each of them as a memento."
After Lockhart finished speaking, he looked at Kane again, only to find that Kane was now wearing the anti-demon glasses that Lockhart had confiscated from Luna, and his expression was one of utter shock.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
Kane took off his glasses in a daze. The reason he was so shocked was not for anything else, but because when he put on the anti-demon glasses, he saw something that could never possibly exist in the real world.
A fleeting moon spirit—that's something that only appears on Moon Island in the Eternal Realm... Although there are some connections between the real world and the Eternal Realm, which he was prepared for, these glasses...
No, I need to stop eating and go find Luna to get to the bottom of this.
And so, Lockhart watched as Kane, who seemed like a completely different person after putting on his glasses, quickly took off his hat and pulled out a mantis shrimp from inside.
He already knew what Kane was going to do: chase the train.
But here's the question: are those glasses he confiscated so casually really that important? And are Kane and Luna really that close?
Did I accidentally offend Kane?
I can't possibly wake up one day and find my hat gone, that Kane dug it up and made it into a hat, can I?
Unlike the abstract ideas in Lockhart's head, he was very polite with his mouth.
"Fly slower, don't crash the train... and don't crash into some little wizard!" Lockhart watched Kane, who had already turned into a streak of black and gray light and was flying away towards the Hogwarts Express in the distance, wondering if Kane could even hear him.
After flying for about a minute, Kane finally caught up with the little train, which was called an express train but was actually very slow, on his broom. He casually controlled his shadow to forcefully pry open a carriage window and flew straight in.
Ignoring his surprised classmate Kane, he immediately started the main quest and quickly found Luna in a train car.
The moment he took out the anti-demon glasses, Luna inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I'd never see them again... Can you give them back to me?"
"These are yours," Kane said, placing the glasses on the small table in the carriage, then continued, "May I ask you a question? Where did these glasses come from?"
"My mom made them," Luna replied, taking the glasses and putting them on.
"I remember your mother wasn't..."
"Yes, because of a terrible magical experiment." Luna nodded, showing no sign of being hurt.
Kane realized this as well, but the fact that the anti-demon glasses could see the Moon Spirit in the Eternal Realm was too important. Before he could finish organizing his thoughts, he subconsciously used very straightforward language to say what he meant.
"Have you found the body?"
Luna shook her head: "No, no body, nothing at all."
In that instant, Kane understood. Just like himself and Maxwell, they were both dragged into the Eternal Realm by some damned king because of their Shadow Affinity talent.
Luna's mother, combined with the ability to create anti-spirit glasses that allow her to see moon spirits in the real world, possesses an absolutely formidable talent within the moon faction.
Furthermore, considering there were no corpses at the scene... it's likely that he was dragged into the Eternal Realm by some unscrupulous and wicked Eternal King.
