Chapter 679: Sarah's Father
If a person does something suspicious and does not explain it properly, he will often attract the suspicion of others. And if the person who is suspicious is a more careful guy, then the matter will be exposed.
Like Ens, his response quickly caught Alexander's attention.
“…… What he was looking at at at the time...... Is it this one? ”
The next day, when Ens took time to practice spells in his old place, Alexander saw an opportunity to go to the library. At this moment, he stood in front of one of the bookshelves that Ens frequented, and reached out to stroke the slightly old spine of the book.
"That's right......" he pulled the book out, glanced at the title on the cover, and turned the page on the spot, "The Anglo-Saxon Futhorc ...... the Runi Translation?" What kind of mess is this......"
Due to the difficulty of getting started and boring to get started, there have been few candidates for this course since the past. Alexander felt these characteristics very clearly now, after all, as soon as he turned the book like this, he couldn't help but want to retreat just by seeing the dense words and symbols on the paper.
Yes, even if it is Maka, whom he respects, who is teaching this subject now, now he has a little bit of gratitude.
But......
“…… I think it's so boring, that Ens Taon ......" Alexander frowned as he looked at it, and couldn't help but wonder, "is he really interested in this kind of thing?" ”
Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head.
"No way," Alexander whispered to himself, "how could a guy who could say something like, 'I just want to learn what works,' learn this—"
In the middle of his words, Maca's face suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to stop talking.
"No, maybe it's really a 'working' subject......"
With this in mind, Alexander simply closed the book and carried it straight to the borrowing registry.
"Mrs. Pince, I need to borrow this book—"
"Write the title of the book here and sign it...... Remember, it is forbidden to damage the books, and I will check them carefully when I return them! If only there was a little bit of ......"
It is the responsibility of Mrs. Pince, as a librarian, to manage the books in the library and ensure that they are not soiled or damaged by the young wizards. But as far as her love for books is regarded as a forbidden, it can't help but be a little too much.
In fact, no matter who comes here to borrow books, she has never given a good look.
Of course, Alexander didn't feel much of Madame Pins's verbosity, and he just wanted to borrow the book for now, and try to find some reason for the change in Enns's attitude.
……
"Tuk tuk tuk ......" "Please come in."
Recently, it has become quite difficult to find him in Maca's office. But Alexander didn't miss an opportunity, and taking advantage of the short break before lunch, he hurried to Maca's office with his books and knocked on the door.
"Oh, Alexander?"
Even Maca is a little tired from the busyness of the past few days. This exhaustion is mental, after all, it is still very difficult to deal with a group of foreign wizards who may not all speak the same language all day long.
“…… Come on in! What's wrong? Is there anything you want me to do? ”
Seeing Alexander's panting appearance, he knew that the other party must have run over. But if it was any later, he would have to go to the side hall to entertain the guests, which would definitely be inconvenient for the Hogwarts students to get in and out.
When Demaka invited Alexander into his office to get him some water to quench his thirst, Alexander immediately refused.
"No, no need...... Alexander swallowed hard, easing a slight dryness in his throat, "Professor McLean, I'd like to ask you a question—"
As he spoke, he handed out the book in his hand and showed the cover in front of Maca.
"That's it...... What exactly is the Anglo-Saxon-Photokwen? Where does it usually appear? ”
Hearing this, Maca looked down at the book, but did not take it.
"What, interested in the translation of ancient magic texts? This is rare among students...... even Maca has to admit that simple ancient translations are boring, "Strictly speaking, this is not an ancient magic script, but a metamorphosis deduced from the Runi script." More than 1,000 years ago, it was used for the more everyday writing ......"
At this point, he spread his hands and said, "In other words, these words are actually of a similar nature to the English we use now—they don't have magic in themselves. ”
"Uh...... So, this is a simple ancient script? Alexander said with a depressed expression.
"Well, yes." Maca nodded, "If you want to tell me where it will appear...... I suppose they will be found in Britain, that is, in some of our ancient texts? ”
Seeing Alexander's vaguely disappointed expression, Maca thought that he had lost interest in this ancient script, which had no magical properties.
"Don't be disappointed, this script is based on Runewen," he smiled and patted Alexander on the shoulder, "and Rune is magical—if you want to learn Rune better, it would definitely help to study this more superficial text first." ”
"Ah, well......," said Alexander, bowing his head, "I see...... I understand. So...... Thank you, Professor! I'll go out first......"
The answer he got from Maca gave him some guesses. He believes that Ens may have wanted to lay a good foundation for his future courses, and that gradual learning is undoubtedly a visionary way of learning.
After sending Alexander out of the office again, Maca returned to her desk and gathered some papers.
He didn't think much of Alexander's inquiry. Because since he took up the position of professor of the ancient magic course, there have been many more students interested in this class, and there are often little wizards who blindly look through such books in the library.
Of course, it's one thing to be interested, but not many students can stick to it.
Just like at the beginning, there were quite a lot of students who went to the Mowen class to audit, but as the course progressed, most of the students who went to the class gave up.
His teaching methods and the latest lessons he summarized in the ancient magic texts were indeed more detailed and engaging than the previous ones. But the learning process of this kind of subject, after all, is inevitably a lot of memorization and copying, and it is natural that most students do not have that patience.
Not taking this to heart, Maca packed up her papers, got up and left her office again. From beginning to end, he stayed here for less than half an hour, and his busyness can be seen.
Now, before rushing to the side hall, he has to go to the school gate to welcome a group of guests from Egypt. The group of guests who arrived before this afternoon was not a delegation from any country or region, but a team of judges invited by the International Federation of Wizards from the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center.
The world's largest alchemy research institute was originally established under the banner of searching and excavating ancient alchemy documents and monuments, and at first it was just an "ancient alchemy exhibition hall" with its own archaeological team.
However, since the archaeological operation has not made much progress, they simply changed their appearance and began to study the new alchemy themselves with a certain amount of ancient documents.
Now, the scale is much larger than it was at the beginning, and there are many alchemy products that are directly supplied to the ministries of magic in various countries.
It is worth mentioning that in the process from archaeology to innovation, the Hohenheim family, as the leader, is absolutely indispensable.
"You must be the head of the research center, Mr. Alisandro von Hohenheim, right? I'm Macklean, the Ancient Magic Professor at Hogwarts. ”
Maka didn't expect that the Egyptian side would come sooner than he expected. When he arrived at the castle vestibule, he soon found that there was already a group of people at the school gate.
And more importantly, he also saw a particularly eye-catching fat man in the crowd, and Sarah Hohenheim standing next to the fat man.
The two brothers and sisters reunited here, and the fat man still put on a low-eyed appearance, obviously because his father and sister, the two people who made him the most troubled, were here.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of the brother and sister, Maca was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to say hello.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that the man with Noah, a big fat man, and Sarah, a little beauty, as a pair of children, was actually a muscular man with a surprisingly strong physique. Even though the man was wearing a well-fitting suit, his muscles were still bulging, and he could see it at a glance.
"Oh! You're Mr. McLean? Mr. Hohenheim laughed heartily, "Your copy of The Mysteries of the Ancient Magic Script is very valuable, but it's a pity that you didn't sell it on the market...... I put a lot of effort into getting one! ”
He was talking about the magic textbook that Maca had compiled in the past, which in principle was only available for sale in the Hogwarts library, and if outsiders wanted to get their hands on it, they had to rely on connections to find someone to copy it.
"It's just a textbook for teaching," Maka said with a smile, "If you want, you can just write to me and ask for it...... Come, Mr. Hohenheim, please come in first! Lunch is ready for you......"
Greeting at the gate was obviously not a thing, but after a few words, Maca invited the other party into the castle, just in time for a ready-made lunch.
Sarah and the fat Noah were silently accompanying them.
