There was a brief silence in the room. Albert had not expected Professor Broad to talk about this matter so bluntly, but he still nodded to show that he understood.
Indeed, ancient magic runes are no longer useful today, unless there is a need to decipher those ancient books.
As for, using it to cast a spell
In Albert's opinion, Dumbledore might have this ability, but it was questionable whether others could use it skillfully.
This is just like when I first learned English in my previous life, I had to look up each word in the English book in the dictionary before I could barely string them together and guess the original meaning of the sentence.
"Can I see the runes on the parchment?" Albert pointed to the parchment on the table and asked Professor Broad.
"Of course no problem." Professor Broad seemed very curious about the level of Albert's runes.
He didn't expect the other party to be able to understand it, so he didn't stop Albert from flipping through it, because the runes on the parchment were very broken.
With Professor Broad's consent, Albert picked up the parchment and read it carefully. He found that the runes on it were very strange. Albert immediately recognized what they were. They were similar to the runes he had used not long ago.
Unlike the runes in the Muggle world, these runes are connected as a whole. If you want to decipher them, you need to study them one by one.
Albert noticed that there were annotations next to some runes, which should have been left by the ancient magic professor Bathsheba or Professor Broad.
Meaning... eyes, trees, springs...
It was just a few short words, but they made Albert frown slightly. He felt as if he had touched something, but he couldn't remember it for the time being.
"These runes... are disrupted?" Albert asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it was disrupted." Professor Brod nodded and said, "As you can see, these runes are difficult to translate."
"Well, it needs to be taken apart and studied before it can be understood." Albert said seriously.
Could it be that all ancient magic texts are like this
No, Albert had read books on ancient magic weaving, and the ones in front of him were obviously runes.
However, I really don't know who has so much free time to make so many runes.
Albert didn't say this, but he did think so. Not many people can understand the runes themselves, let alone organize them into runes and put the runes together into a paragraph. How many people can really understand it
Or were these runes actually created by Professor Bathsheba for Professor Broad to use in practicing ancient magic runes
Just as Albert was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.
Katrina McDougal appeared outside the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and looked at Albert in surprise as he was standing at the desk in the office reading the parchment carefully. She couldn't help but blinking, as if she was curious about why this guy was here.
When the door was knocked, Albert also raised his head, and happened to meet Katrina's eyes when she opened the door and came in. He just nodded slightly to her and continued to focus on the parchment.
The more he interpreted the runes on the parchment, the more Albert felt that something in his memory was beginning to loosen, but he seemed to have not yet guessed what was going on.
"I just played two games of wizard chess with Mr. Anderson. He's pretty good at it." Professor Broad noticed Katrina's puzzled look and said casually, "However, Mr. Anderson seems to be interested in ancient magic runes. Katrina, just sit down and play a game of chess with me."
Professor Broad is optimistic about Albert.
Katrina had guessed this a long time ago. After all, Albert was a genius, and geniuses were always treated specially.
"Focus." Professor Brod noticed that Katrina's attention was distracted, so he reminded her: "Don't worry too much about others, just concentrate on doing your own thing."
"Hmm!" Katrina turned her attention back to the chess game on the table. However, she still lost the game. When she looked up in a daze, she found that Albert was sitting on Professor Broad's desk, and she didn't know what he was writing.
"How dare he..."
"Professor, the runes on the parchment are not complete, right?" Albert relied on his mastery of runes and spent nearly half an hour to translate most of the runes.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Professor Broad asked curiously. Albert was right. The runes here were only part of it.
"Well, it doesn't even form a complete sentence after I translated it." Albert came over with the parchment covered with letters.
I think these should be two very famous poems in "The Word of God".
"The Word of God, what is that?" Katrina asked in confusion, fixing her eyes on the parchment in Albert's hand.
"Let's talk about the origin of runes." Albert said simply, "Odin exchanged one of his eyes for the fountain of wisdom... In order to seek the secret of higher wisdom, he hung himself on a tree for nine days and nine nights, and stabbed himself with a spear, and the blood fell on the ground and gathered into runes.
Albert translated the runes into words by guessing, and then connected them with what he had seen before to guess the approximate content.
When he first translated it, he really didn't react for a moment.
Later, as he deciphered more runes, Albert was able to piece together most of the content.
Katrina looked confused, but she still knew what runes were.
Compared to Katrina, Professor Broad next to her looked shocked and unbelievable.
Professor Broad never thought that Albert could actually decipher it.
Are you guessing
No, that's unlikely.
"By the way, are you sure you just taught yourself the runes?" Professor Brod's face twitched continuously, and he roared in his heart: "How dare you claim that you can barely understand it?"
If this is barely understandable, then what about other guys who are good at runes
"Professor Broad?" Albert raised his head and called out in confusion. The other party suddenly came to his senses and explained with a smile: "I'm not sure either, because I'm trying it myself, but I think this should be correct."
"Professor Bathsilda will definitely be happy that you chose ancient magic runes. If you are interested, just write to her or go to another..." Professor Broad thought about it, and felt that this was not appropriate, because he felt that Albert might not even need to attend class.
To be honest, he left quite a few runes on the table. Albert did not even use the magic dictionary to disassemble, translate and piece together the runes.
Professor Broad wasn't sure whether Professor Bathsheba had this ability, but he knew very well that he certainly didn't.
