Layton's Puzzles: Secret Message

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Layton's Puzzles and apologies are in order for the 1 week hiatus due to the long Halloween / All Soul's Day week. Again, for the uninitiated, I regularly feature different kinds of puzzles from the hundreds featured in the Professor Layton video game series made by Level 5 which were all released on the Nintendo DS. The Professor Layton games are basically collections of puzzles beautifully integrated within the story of a professor and true gentleman Professor Hershel Layton and his sidekick Luke Triton who goes around from town to town talking to people, solving puzzles and figuring out various mysteries.

Last October saw the release of the 4th Professor Layton game called Professor Layton and the Last Specter, and this week's puzzle is the 1st among many new puzzles from the game. Here it is,

Puzzle No. 1: Secret Message.
