Professor Babling wrote a large vocabulary on a piece of paper and threw it to William for him to translate.

The woman didn't teach him well at all.

It takes a year just to get started, even if it's a fifth-grade one. In the exam, most of the tests are still vocabulary, and the advanced class only involves grammar.

She is usually impatient in class, and she is not in the mood to teach in class.

She wrote a lot of words to dissuade her.

She didn't believe that a little wizard in the second year could translate?

Unless the other party is like her, who looks young on the outside, but has a mature soul.

Barburing didn't know where to find the eggplant-flavored potato chips, and ate them happily.

She seemed to be a drag queen, and the court dress had just disappeared in favor of skinny jeans.

She also asked Hermione if she wanted to eat with concern, but the girl refused her, much to her regret.

In less than ten minutes, William had translated all five pages she had written.

The form of ancient magic scripts is more inclined to the combination of hieroglyphs and ancient Germanic languages, and the words are varied and complex, and their meanings are closely related to ancient times.

For example, the abstract text of the invisible beast represents the animal's invisible ability, which is symbolized as "0".

In the ancient magic texts, all the magic related to invisibility contains the core word 0.

Another example is the unicorn, whose horns symbolize "1"; The horns of the horned camel symbolize "2"; The three-headed creature of the Ru Ni snake symbolizes the "3" ......

The basic vocabulary of the ancient magic script is extremely complex, and William can only master it after a long period of painstaking study.

But he can't read sentences yet, he can only know words, and he can't understand grammar.

Barburing didn't expect William to translate the vocabulary so quickly.

She carefully read everything William had written before re-examining him.

Really a genius?

The woman seemed to have noticed something interesting, and she smiled, "I can teach you, but you have to promise me something, eh...... It's not up to you to do it now. ”

William smiled, let alone let him promise one, even if he promised a hundred, why not? Anyway, Professor Babling has no memory.

You think everyone is Dumbledore?

William said without hesitation: "Okay." ”

Ba Buring looked successful, she rubbed the talisman on her neckline, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be careful, I taught Dumbledore ancient magic texts back then, and he also wanted to play tricks later, and in the end he had to help me obediently." ”

William didn't speak, and his heart suddenly set off a storm.

Dumbledore was over a hundred years old, and William didn't think that the headmaster had only learned the ancient magic script in the last ten years, he must have started to contact it when he was in school.

Affection Barb Ling ...... In fact, it is also an old goblin who has lived for hundreds of years?

But always with an eighteen-year-old face?

it, treasure granny! William had to squeeze her dry!

Barburing coughed, snapped her fingers, and changed another set of clothes, turning into a dark green robe.

But the color was too old-fashioned, even if Professor McGonagall wore it.

Her white hair was all cocked and bulged into a bun...... It is also the same as Professor McGonagall.

But the two of them stood together, and Barblin was more than enough to be Professor McGonagall's granddaughter.

Ba Buling said: "Since I said that I want to teach you, let's understand one thing first." ”

"Why do we seldom translate ancient magical texts into the languages we know well, but take the trouble to understand their meanings?"

William shook his head.

"Do you see the statue of Slytherin?"

William looked up at the corner of the table, where a famous Slytherin statue sit.

"Yes."

"Do you see what he looks like?"

William nodded, and it was an old, monkey-like face, a long beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of a wizard's robe carved out of stone, and two large gray feet stood on the smooth floor of the room.

"Do you know why Slytherin is the way it is?"

William shook his head, he really didn't know.

"Because it's a mistranslation, a mistranslation of the image of Slytherin.

Originally, the image of Slytherin was only recorded by the Slytherin family, but it was in the form of ancient magic scripts.

Corvinus Gaunt, a direct descendant of Slytherin, later translated this part into Latin.

But he mistranslated the ancient script, 'Slytherin's face seemed to glow', to 'his face was like a monkey'.

Since then, artists and sculptors have begun to depict Slytherin as monkeys. ”

"Wait, I think I've heard the name Corvinus Gaunt."

William squinted and thought for a moment.

"I remember that Corvinus Gaunt repaired the plumbing system at Hogwarts."

When William was in his first year, he wanted to make a map, and Professor Dumbledore recommended that he go to see the Hogwarts castle structure.

There's a description of that there.

"That's right." "That's right," said Barble, "yes, he repaired the Hogwarts pipes again, and it was very complicated. ”

"Okay, let's not mention him yet. A simple mistranslation, and the result?

The great Slytherin has been the same as it is ever since. ”

"I mention the Slytherin example," Barblin said, "to show that one word, one mistranslation, is enough to rewrite history." ”

"The meaning of ancient magic scripts is often misunderstood, and it is impossible to accurately express the meaning of it.

We don't usually translate it, but rather think it as our native language and speculate on the meaning. ”

"Boy, this is the first thing I've taught you, and language is a great way to keep secrets.

And that's how the ancient magic script is...... Treasure! ”

……

……

Five hours later, William left the office of the Ancient Script.

After learning a lot today, he decided to go back and digest it well.

Hermione had never been exposed to this aspect of the subject, as if she were listening to a book from heaven, and fell asleep at noon.

Barblin proposes to let Hermione sleep here, but William refuses.

In these years, girls have to protect themselves when they go out, and Professor Barblin is not a serious person at first glance.

William carried the girl on his back and walked towards the Gryffindor Public Rest.

But before she got to the fourth floor, Hermione woke up.

The girl lay on William's back in a daze and asked, "Is it over?" ”

"Hmm."

"There's something strange about Professor Babling......"

"So, when you're in the third grade, you must not choose the Ancient Demon Script." William was concerned.

Hermione quietly grimaced at William, resting her little head on his warm shoulder, and asked softly, "What about ...... Do you teach me? ”

"Hmmm......"

William continued to walk with the girl on his back, and the setting sun fell on the two of them, pulling out a long shadow.
