Chapter 340 Magic Symbol Set
Ancient runes are much more interesting than Andrew thought - although Professor Bablin did not talk about any magic that can be released with runes in the course, this will not reduce the charm of this class at all.
Ancient runes, to be precise, ancient runes are a magical language. Although the current fast spell casting system also makes a difference in the field of alchemy, it is far behind the application of ancient runes.
Of course, in Professor Bablin's original words - "Elves prefer to use runes, and their methods of making magic props are more advanced, so runes have been chased, and they have not been completely used until now." disappear from the wizard's life. ’
In short, because fairies are so good at craftsmanship, runes are high-end skills in the production of magic props, which directly brought this language away.
Of course, if you expect to research ancient magical relics or ancient magical treasures, runes are even more indispensable. Before Latin magic began to take over the mainstream, runes were the real mainstream.
And the professor didn't play tricks. He directly placed the hot pie in front of everyone in the first lesson of the semester.
"There is also a collection of precious books in the school's library. The "Magic Symbol Collection", extremely precious ancient magic ornaments and a huge part of the lost magic circle are all in it. Most of them, yes, most of the contents are Lost, and there are no borrowing conditions for these books. Every student can borrow them for study, but they cannot take them out of the library. ”
After completing the narration of some basic words in the first class, Professor Bablin said this before the get out of class ended.
"Although I do not recommend reading to students under fifth grade, we do not impose any restrictions in this regard. I sincerely support you in studying it and even figuring out the usage and effects of the decorations in it. The British Alchemy Association has no restrictions on those who have no knowledge of it. The deciphered items are collected in Galleons.”
The professor picked up his book and said, "The translation and origin of the vocabulary learned in this class will be handed in in the next class. You can look it up in the dictionary. We have professional reference books!"
She turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.
But a group of students have been hooked.
Even Andrew's roommate, Hughes, looked a little strange, "So it's like this, no wonder, no wonder."
"Don't think about it, Hughes, there is something that the entire magic world professionals don't understand. That thing is much more difficult than getting the first place in the exam."
"Sure, Andrew," Hughes looked up from the textbook, "You can tell just by looking at the textbook."
Whose textbook has a special phonetic table for magic words?
Moreover, there is no doubt that runes should be related to a series of ritual magic - although ritual magic is generally not lethal, the effect is definitely not comparable to ordinary rapid spell casting.
‘This semester I have to focus my extra energy on it. There must be no simmering in the runes. This is a magical language. ’
Although Professor Bablin said that ancient runes and Germanic runes are closely related, in terms of magic, they are almost two different things.
Whose language can be attached to items to maintain magic power?
Not to mention magic characters and the like. If the things in the magic glyph set were just a pile of ordinary words, the Alchemy Association would be crazy to issue a Galleon bounty in pursuit of knowledge.
"It's a pity that the next class is under a curse, so I can't borrow it from the library."
"It's okay to take a look first," Andrew lowered his voice, "before others react, it's also good to go to the library to have some eye candy!"
The two looked at each other and sneaked out of the classroom. They met several people with the same idea along the way, but without exception everyone kept quiet until they were a little far away from the classroom before they started running towards the library. stand up.
The long period of exercise made Andrew very relaxed, "Sius, I'll go first, let's read a book, anyway, we just want to read the content!"
As he spoke, he started running. "Filch isn't here, come on and run!"
In the distance, Gryffindor shouted cheerfully - although he didn't know why the junior students were running, he remembered that if Filch caught him doing this, he would probably be put in detention.
"That's why you can't cast spells, classmate!"
Andrew ran over with a look of disdain on his face - can this be considered a Gryffindor student?
I can’t even remember all the school rules!
After saying that, he started running quickly, and the students chasing behind him became happy, responding to the student's contemptuous smiles along the way.
‘But it’s definitely not possible here in the library. ’
Andrew stopped and politely asked Mrs. Pince where the book was, and soon got the answer.
"Ancient magic text, right?"
Mrs. Pince pointed out and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Professor Bablin gave a very big temptation in the first class."
"Every year."
Mrs. Pingsi nodded, "Go ahead, there are people behind you."
Andrew nodded and walked quickly to the bookshelf - he couldn't look at it for too long. After probably getting familiar with it, he would have to run all the way to Professor McGonagall's office and use the time turner.
It’s a feast for the eyes – after all, I don’t know when I’ll be queuing up to see it later.
There is no doubt that not many people will give up taking a look at it. The Ravenclaw library is another unique place. If this book was not allowed to be borrowed, there would be no chance of seeing it this month.
Hurrying to find the bookshelf, Andrew only picked out one book - more than half of the people from this hospital who came over couldn't be too shameless.
Finding a table nearby, Andrew began to roughly browse through the books that the professor used to make nests.
"Magic Symbol Collection", as the name suggests, the book does not contain many long paragraphs of text, but instead mainly consists of various pictures and short introductions.
The individual icons are almost translated, but there are few precise explanations for the combination of icons. As for the pictures in the book that have part of the text destroyed or self-destructed part of the icons, there are more pictures than those that have been deciphered. Much more.
‘This is not a popular science book, it’s a bounty book that simply piles solved and unsolved things together...’
'It's strange, this is not just a matter of replacement, but because wars and other eras are also normal, the Wizarding War has been launched many times, not to mention the battles during the initial period of serving Muggles. ’
Although he didn't accomplish anything, Andrew felt satisfied - he had no regrets before going to the office to officially work.
‘I don’t dare to think about deciphering. Let’s study hard first. I just don’t know how useful Professor Lockhart’s techniques are. After all, it is a magical language, and it is not the same concept as Muggle language...’
