“It’s not the right time yet,” Levin said. “The magical world is too stable right now, and all sectors are developing very smoothly. If we were to enter the fray now and try to make a difference, the price we would have to pay would be very high.”
"The opportunity will come next year or the year after. At that time, the Dark Lord will be resurrected, and the entire magical world of the Underworld will be thrown into chaos. That will be the best time to buy at rock-bottom prices."
"Yes, that's it."
Levin didn't notice that the black cat in his arms was looking at him with a complicated expression.
"It's this confidence, this certainty about the future, and this strategic vision that makes everyone willing to listen to him, even Jaina."
"The little guy is really charming in this state."
Unaware that her eyes were already slightly moist, Onyxia, who suffered from Stockholm syndrome, did not notice this.
Chapter 218 Boyfriend and the Mind Sorcerer
A few days later in the morning,
After having breakfast, Levin bid farewell to everyone.
After leaving his home, Levin immediately activated the Teleportation spell and headed to Lovegood's house.
The next moment, Levin appeared at the foot of a small hill.
Looking up, a bizarre house stood alone on the mountaintop, like a giant black column, with a ghostly moon hanging in the afternoon sky behind it.
That was his destination for today.
As expected of the Lovegood family, Levin noticed something strange as soon as he arrived at the gate: three hand-painted signs were nailed to the gate.
First item: Editor-in-Chief of *The Quibbler*: X. Lovegood
The second item: Please choose a bunch of mistletoe yourself.
Third piece: Don't touch the airship Li
The gate creaked open as Levin pushed it open, revealing a winding path lined with all sorts of strange plants. One shrub was laden with small, orange-red, radish-shaped fruits that Luna sometimes wore as earrings.
Levin saw the knotted vine among them and quickly moved away from the withered roots. He didn't want to provoke the plant and be attacked by its tentacle-like vines for no reason.
Two old crabapple trees, bent by the wind, stand guard on either side of the front door. Their leaves have all fallen, but they are still laden with small red berries and large clusters of mistletoe flowers adorned with white beads.
A small owl with a slightly flattened head, somewhat resembling an eagle's head, peered at them from a branch.
Levin took the Christmas present for Luna out of his storage space and carried it in his hand.
Then he knocked three times on the heavy black door.
The door had iron nails embedded in it, and an eagle-shaped door knocker.
The door opened in less than ten seconds.
A man wearing a blue velvet coat and trousers, and a silk vest appeared before Levin.
He was slightly cross-eyed, and his white hair was disheveled over his shoulders.
He wore a floral silk sash, and a pointed wizard's hat sat askew on his head, with long, colorful ribbons draped over his shoulders.
He wore a gold chain around his neck with a strange symbol flashing on it, which looked like a triangular eye.
He spotted the invitation in Levin's hand immediately and beamed. "Ah, hello! I'm Xenophilius Lovegood, welcome!"
“Hello, Mr. Lovegood,” Levin said, extending his hand. “I am Levin Green, Luna’s classmate in Ravenclaw. And, of course, a devoted reader of Quibbles.”
Xenophilius? Lovegood's smile widened even more. "Welcome, Levin. You're our first guest today!"
"Thank you, Luna—"
Before Levin could finish speaking, an excited Mr. Lovegood quickly told him Luna's location.
"She's in that charming little garden, greeting the goblins, who are everywhere and so endearing! Few wizards understand how much we can learn from these clever little goblins—oh, their proper name is garden engineer goblins."
Before Levin could even sit down, he had no choice but to follow the enthusiastic Mr. Lovegood to the garden behind the house.
Levin spotted Luna immediately—in the lifeless, withered garden, Luna was simply too conspicuous.
She wore a bright yellow robe, and a large sunflower adorned her hair. Once you get used to the bright colors, you'll find the overall effect is actually quite pleasing to the eye; at least she's no longer wearing those little radishes on her ears.
"Dad... Levin is here too!"
Luna was delighted to see Levin arrive as promised, and ran towards them, swinging the goblin in her hand.
At Hogwarts, where most people regarded her as a "crazy girl," Levin was one of the few who would take everything about her seriously, even her fantasies.
Even her other friend, Ginny Weasley, couldn't do that. That girl was only being kind to her, but deep down she still felt there was something wrong with her fantasies.
"ah!"
Luna suddenly screamed halfway there, struggling to fling the goblin in her hand far away.
Then she held up one finger and said, "Daddy, look—a goblin bit me!"
“Fantastic! Goblin saliva is especially useful!” Mr. Lovegood said, grabbing Luna’s outstretched finger and examining the bleeding point closely.
"Luna, my dear, if you feel a talent suddenly emerge today—perhaps it's a sudden impulse, like wanting to sing opera, wanting to recite in the language of mermaids—don't suppress it! That might be a talent bestowed upon you by the engineer spirit!"
Seeing this scene, Levin couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.
Others might have thought that the father and daughter were lost in fantasy.
Or perhaps the daughter's mind was corrupted by her father from a young age.
But Levin's psychic abilities have always told him that Luna truly believes in this series of fantasies.
If it happened once or twice, that would be one thing, but if she truly believes it all the time, it means that Luna can indeed see things that ordinary people cannot. Since she cannot find an explanation in the existing knowledge system, she can only apply Mr. Lovegood's series of fantasies.
Levin strongly suspects that Luna may be a potential user of psychic abilities, born with certain mental powers.
However, due to a lack of systematic knowledge of psychic abilities, these powers cannot be effectively controlled, which leads to this phenomenon.
For example, in the original work, Luna always manages to pinpoint the truth and easily discern other people's true thoughts.
This may stem from the most basic ability of psychic powers to sense the thoughts of others.
For example, her ability to see "harassing flies" might be a glimpse into the chaotic state of others' minds.
For example, she can hear voices behind the curtain of the Department of Mystic Affairs, which is also a manifestation of psychic power.
Most importantly, Luna was almost the most naturally gifted psychic among all the young wizards Levin had ever met.
At this moment, Xenophilius spoke up again: "Alright, I still need to prepare for the banquet. Luna, you're in charge of entertaining your classmates."
He was clearly eager to make some arrangements; he nodded to Levin and then quickly turned and left.
Levin's gaze fell on Luna's fingers. "Don't you really need to put something on that wound?"
“Oh, it’s okay,” Luna said, sucking her finger as if in a daze, looking Levin up and down. “I told Dad that most people would probably wear formal gowns, but he believes that you should wear sun-colored clothes to banquets and ceremonies, for good luck, you know.”
Levin nodded understandingly; he had long since learned not to interfere in other people's lifestyles.
Levin handed Luna the gift he had prepared, saying, "Here, Merry Christmas!"
Luna took it with admiration. "It's a beautiful crystal pendant, but what did you put inside? Is it a moon frog?"
"You were indeed able to sense the power within." Levin was pleasantly surprised. "This isn't the Moon Frog, but a kind of energy from within—psychic energy—only fellow psychic users can sense this power."
The crystal in this crystal pendant is a psionic crystal created by Levin using his psychic abilities.
Psychic crystals are among the few crystals capable of storing psychic energy.
This pendant contains a large amount of spiritual energy.
Levin made it into a pendant and gave it to Luna to test whether she was a potential mind sorcerer.
If so, then she can absorb the psionic energy from the crystal, rapidly increasing her psychic abilities until she reaches the minimum requirement for a psychic.
At that time, she was able to see the power within the crystal.
To Levin's surprise, Luna didn't even wear the gift; she could sense its extraordinary nature simply by receiving it.
This shows that her psychic talent is higher than she thought.
"So, Levin is also a psionic user?" Luna immediately understood.
"Yes."
"No wonder you can see the harassing thief too!" Luna said happily.
Even though she didn't care much about many things, she was pleasantly surprised to find someone like her.
The girl looked at Levin in front of her, her heart filled with joy.
Indeed, it feels so good to be understood.
“We can go for a walk on the beach; cleaning up goblins isn’t suitable for you,” Luna suddenly said, her large, light silver eyes wide.
Although Levin didn't find the beach in winter particularly interesting, it was still much more fun than catching goblins in the garden.
The two left Luna's house along the winding path.
Luna led the way nimbly, and they passed through the heart of the mountain.
After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, Levin heard the sound of waves crashing on the shore. He walked out of the arched cave and saw a beautiful coastline.
The two stood on the rocks, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and watching the waves crashing against the rocks.
Luna quietly stayed by his side, her ethereal eyes fixed on Levin.
“Tell me about psionic powers,” Luna suddenly said. “My dad has never talked to me about it.”
“Because not everyone possesses this power,” Levin explained. “The power of the mind is incredibly mysterious. Although everyone can learn Legilimency, truly sophisticated psychic abilities are far more complex than that, and only one in ten thousand can awaken it.”
As he spoke, he briefly explained the theory of psychic abilities to the girl.
It was rare to encounter someone with such talent, and since that person was also his friend, Levin conceived the idea of teaching her to become a mind sorcerer.
After he finished speaking, Luna suddenly asked, "Levin, do you want me to be like Hermione?"
"What?" Levin didn't understand her meaning for a moment, and his face turned red.
He really liked Luna, but she was too young.
Levin felt somewhat embarrassed that his feelings had been discovered in this situation.
"Um, I'm sorry, I was attracted to you without even realizing it..."
“I mean, you want to teach me the way you taught Hermione, right?” Luna blinked, wondering why the boy was saying so many strange things.
Before Levin awkwardly dug out the three-bedroom apartment, she added, "But I'm glad I was able to attract you; actually, you're quite attractive to me too."
