Holidays are always enjoyable.

This is especially true for students.

Despite the nasty holiday assignments that needed to be done, they couldn't affect Albert's good mood.

In fact, Albert had already swept away his unfinished homework as quickly as the day before the Christmas holidays.

A vacation without holiday homework is undoubtedly enjoyable.

During the Christmas holidays, I can sleep late in the morning and lie on the couch and watch TV for a while. When you're bored, you can tease the cat, listen to music, chat with Nia, play chess, or sit by the fire and find a book.

However, just after Christmas, Albert found something interesting and went to the library to look for records about the rune alphabet after the town's library reopened.

This incident comes from the fact that he bought a copy of "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Demon Texts" a while ago, and it took a lot of effort to finish this book, but no skills related to ancient magic texts appeared in the skill panel.

Albert thought that this situation was similar to alchemy, so he decided to deepen his knowledge of the rune alphabet by reading more books on the subject, so that he could master it.

As for waiting until the third grade to take the Ancient Demon Texts class?

Albert didn't have the patience to wait two and a half years. After all, he is a man with a panel, and as long as the relevant skills appear on the panel, the follow-up questions will be easy.

There are few records of the runic alphabet in the library, but Albert found them in Germanic mythology:

The Runi alphabet, also known as the Rune alphabet, originated in Germanic mythology and is related to Odin, the famous father of the gods, who is said to have traded an eye for Runi's knowledge. (The word rune itself has the meaning of "mysterious".)

Odin belongs to Germanic mythology, the Runi alphabet belongs to the Germanic language, and when it comes to Germanic people, Albert's first thought is the Germans.

Well, yes, it's the old-fashioned Germans, and the German language evolved from the Germanic language.

However, there's a catch!

Albert also vaguely remembered that the Harry Potter authors used a lot of Latin when designing spells, but Latin and Germanic were two different languages.

Albert never considered himself an archaeologist, much less a linguist, and he never thought of solving these problems that confused his mind. He chose to record his doubts, and perhaps, when he mastered more knowledge of the rune alphabet, his doubts would be solved automatically.

Later, Albert did find a connection between the two in the library: after the disappearance of the Runi alphabet, some Latin letters were used in Germanic languages.

This explains why the Latin alphabet is used in England and Germany, but is classified as a Germanic language.

It took Albert a few days to figure out why Hogwarts offered an elective course on ancient magical texts.

Germanic mythology originated in Scandinavia, which is now Sweden.

According to Albert's research on Germanic languages, the languages of Denmark, Norway, and Iceland near Sweden are all Germanic and belong to North Germanic languages.

Ancient English, on the other hand, is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Vertok script, which belongs to the West Germanic language, that is, the runic alphabet.

Later, as if in relation to religion, a large number of Latin letters were introduced. The whole of Europe was heavily influenced by Latin. Albert wondered if this might be one of the reasons for the disappearance of the rune alphabet.

However, it is undeniable that the runi alphabet is magical, and ancient magical objects are engraved with this ancient script to enhance their magical powers.

Albert believed that this stemmed from the Rune Stone, which in his previous life was famous in the wizarding world.

Although much of it comes from his own speculation, Albert is still keen on it, exploring these ancient texts, touching and trying to learn to discern them, to read them.

After Albert reviewed a large amount of information, he found that Muggle records were very limited.

To this end, Albert wrote to ask Truman, and at the suggestion of the other party, he bought the "Magic Word Meter" and the "Magic Dictionary" from the Blotted Bookstore.

Compared to the normal world, the wizarding world knows more about the rune script, after all, this thing belongs to the mysterious side in the first place.

During the rest of the holidays, Albert spent a lot of time trying to decipher Rune's script, which was a difficult thing to do, but the attempt paid off when a skill called "Magic Script" finally appeared on his panel, and although it was not quite what he had imagined, Albert still used the experience pool to upgrade the skill to level 1.

Soon, he found that he could barely read Runi script, and the feeling was amazing, and he could vaguely feel the magical charm of the ancient magic script.

Albert continued to put his experience into the "magic script", and after reaching level 2, he found that he was able to read and understand most of the Runi script without the help of the "Magic Word Alphabet" and the "Magic Dictionary", and was able to read them aloud.

This is a very interesting thing, Albert is undoubtedly correct in the rune alphabet with the help of the panel, and when he re-examines the Magic Word Meter and the Magic Dictionary through his own cognition, he can find some interesting mistakes.

Sometimes words may not be able to be clearly and accurately depicted in another kind of text, and errors are inevitable.

In particular, most of the runi steles with religious overtones are somewhat erroneous.

A runi script is somewhat different in its symbolic meaning, use of magic, function of symbols, and analysis of divination.

Once you get these things mixed up, you end up with skewed results.

After mastering the Runi alphabet, Albert became enthusiastic about finding faults, looking for mistranslations and recording them.

Later, Albert began to try to design and study the magical use of magic scripts, which had been left behind on amulets, which became the subject of Albert's latest research. However, before he could get the magic on the amulet right, the Christmas holiday was over.

The day before school started, Albert took the express train back to Hogwarts.

As he expected, Fred and George didn't make a garlic cross, but they secretly got a bunch of garlic from home, and Lee Jordan was no exception.

Albert's eyelids twitched a little as he looked at the garlic piled up in front of him, and he thought that the three of them had forgotten about it.

"Are you done with your holiday homework?" said Albert, who really didn't want to dwell on garlic.

"Oh, one more thing. Lee Jordan ate the pumpkin pie and said, "I'll go to the library to find the materials later, and I'll be able to make up for it soon." ”

"We're fine. The twin brothers said in unison.

"Copying each other?" Albert saw through their trick at a glance.

"No, it's called borrowing. ”

Lee Jordan snorted disdainfully and continued to eat.
