Chapter 340: Magic Symbols Collection

Ancient runes were much more interesting than Andrew had thought - although Professor Baburin did not talk about any magic that could be released using runes in the course, this did not reduce the charm of the class at all.

Ancient magic runes, or more precisely ancient runes, are a magical language. Although the current fast spellcasting system has made some achievements in the field of alchemy, it is far inferior to the application of ancient magic runes.

Of course, in Professor Baburin's original words, "Fairies prefer to use runes, and their methods of making magic props are more advanced, so runes have been pursued and have not completely disappeared from the lives of wizards until now."

In short, because the goblins were so skilled, runes were a high-end skill in making magic props, which directly brought this language to the fore.

Of course, if you hope to research magical relics or ancient magical treasures from ancient times, runes are even more indispensable. Before Latin magic began to dominate, runes were the real mainstream.

And the professor was no pushover, he put hot pancakes in front of everyone on the first day of school.

"The school library also has a number of precious books, including the Magical Symbols Collection, which contains extremely precious ancient magic patterns and a large number of lost magic arrays. Most of the books, yes, most of the content has been lost. There are no borrowing conditions for these books. Every student can borrow them for research, but they cannot leave the library."

After finishing the first class with some basic words, Professor Baburin said this before leaving the get out of class.

"Although I don't recommend it for students below the fifth grade, we don't impose any restrictions on it. I wholeheartedly support you in researching it, and even figuring out the usage and effects of the patterns inside. The British Alchemy Association will collect those that have not been deciphered in Galleons."

The professor picked up his book and said, "The content, translation and origin of the vocabulary learned in this class, please hand it in next class. You can look it up in the dictionary. We have professional reference books!"

She turned and left without any reluctance.

But a group of students have been caught with black carp.

Even Andrew's roommate Hughes looked a little strange, "So that's how it is, no wonder, no wonder."

"Don't even think about it, Hughes. There's something that the entire professional community in the magic world hasn't figured out. That's much harder than getting the first place in the exam."

"Of course, Andrew," Hughes looked up from his textbook. "You can tell just by looking at it."

Whose textbook has a special magic phonetic table?

Moreover, there is no doubt that runes should be related to a series of ritual magic - although ritual magic generally does not have much lethality, its effect is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary quick casting.

"I have to put extra energy into this this semester. I can't let the runes have half-cooked meals. This is a magical language."

Although Professor Baburin claims that ancient runes are closely related to Germanic runes, in terms of magic, they are almost two different things.

Can someone's language be attached to an object and maintain its magic power?
Not to mention magic characters or something. If the contents of the magic symbol collection were just a pile of ordinary text, the Alchemy Association would be crazy to issue a reward of Galleons for the pursuit of knowledge.

"What a pity. The next class is spells, so I can't go to the library to borrow books."

"It's better to take a look first," Andrew lowered his voice, "while others haven't reacted yet, it's also good to go to the library to satisfy your curiosity!"

The two looked at each other and sneaked out of the classroom. Along the way, they met several people who had the same idea, but everyone remained quiet without exception. They only started running towards the library when they were a little away from the classroom.

Andrew was very relaxed after a long period of exercise. "Xius, I'll go first. Let's read a book. Anyway, we just need to read the content!"

As he spoke, he started running. "Filch is not here, run faster!"

Gryffindor in the distance was shouting happily - although he didn't know why the younger students were running, he remembered that if Filch caught them doing this, they would probably be given detention.

"You can't cast spells, classmate!"

Andrew ran over with a look of disdain - could this person be considered a Gryffindor student?
I can’t even remember all the school rules!
After saying that, he ran quickly. The students chasing him from behind laughed and responded to the student's contemptuous smile all the way.

'But definitely not in the library.'

Andrew stopped and politely asked Mrs. Pince where the book was, and soon got the answer.

"Ancient runes, right?"

Madam Pince asked as she pointed out, smiling.

"Yes, Professor Baburin gave a very big temptation in the first class."

"Every year."

Madam Pince nodded. "Go ahead. There are people behind us."

Andrew nodded and walked quickly towards the bookshelf - he couldn't look at it for too long, because after 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 visual feast - after all, if you have to queue up behind, you don't know when you can see it.

There is no doubt that not many people will give up the chance to have a glimpse of it. It is a specialty of Ravenclaw to hang out in the library. If the book was not prohibited from being borrowed, there would be no chance of seeing it this month.

Andrew hurriedly found the bookshelf and took out only one book - more than half of the people who came over were from the same institute, so he couldn't be too shameless.

Andrew found a table nearby and began to flip through the books the professor used for making nests.

"The Collection of Magical Symbols", as the name suggests, the whole book does not have many long passages of text, but is instead composed mainly of various pictures and brief introductions.

The individual symbols have been translated almost completely, but there are very few exact explanations for the combined symbols. As for the pictures in the book with parts of the text destroyed or parts of the symbols self-destructed, their number is much greater than what has been deciphered.

"This isn't a popular science book. It's a bounty book that simply piles together the solved and unsolved problems..."

'It's strange, it's not just a matter of replacement, but it's normal to have wars and other interruptions. There have been many wizarding wars, not to mention the struggles during the initial period of serving Muggles.'

Although he didn't accomplish anything, Andrew felt satisfied - before going to the office to officially work, he no longer had any regrets for the time being.

"I don't dare to think about deciphering it. I'll just study hard first. I just don't know how useful Professor Lockhart's skills are. After all, it's a magical language, which is different from Muggle language..."
