Chapter 179: Knowledge Hidden from Books (Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
"No, we're not going to learn new ones today. β
Grindelwald, who was drinking spicy soup, paused his right hand, put down the spoon, and said seriously, "Every ancient Fursack script contains infinite mysteries, and it is much more important to be able to master one than to taste it without any focus. β
The ancient runi script itself is the embodiment of certain magical phenomena by the shamans of the past, and the effect displayed is completely different from person to person, and there is a very low limit and an unimaginable upper limit in power.
Even after a rough raid of the European wizarding world, Grindelwald really mastered the original pronunciation and meaning, and there were actually only four ancient Forsak characters that could produce magical effects, and most of the rest were only fragmented characters and interpretations.
In addition to the "your" that Elena, Grindelwald had mastered three others: the third rune "ΓΎorn", which symbolizes thorns, protection, and energy, the fourth rune "OSS", which symbolizes prophecy and persuasion, and the sixth rune "cen", which symbolizes fire and desire.
Not to mention that from the beginning, Grindelwald had no intention of teaching Elena all the runes.
Since discovering that healing runes can be turned into uncontrollable power-enhancing magic in Elena's hands, Grindelwald has no reason to continue to increase the lethality of the white-haired danzi - the remaining three runes have derived a spell that is much more terrifying than the consequences caused by "your".
"Hey, if you don't learn magic, are you going to continue teaching me new spells!" Elena blinked in surprise.
"And then you're going to blow up this house?! β
Grindelwald twitched his cheeks and did not hesitate to shatter Elena's daydreams. Why can this white-haired dumpling be like she has been caught in the Oblivion Curse, and she doesn't have any idea of what she has done.
"If I'm not mistaken, Albus must have sent all your textbooks to Newmengard Castle, right?"
Lowering his head and taking another sip of spicy soup, Grindelwald calmed down his emotions, looked at the silver-haired little witch sitting on the other end of the dining table and continued, "Didn't you say you like magical beasts? β
It turns out that when teaching children with divergent minds, unless you are a professor with many years of experience, it is best to follow a set of pre-written outline logic.
Although Grindelwald didn't like Newt Scamander and his annoying critters emotionally, it is undeniable that as one of the greatest magizoologists of our time, it is undoubtedly the safest way to follow his compilation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
"Huh, pure cultural theory class, ah......"
Hearing Grindelwald's arrangement, Elena's dull hair drooped unhappily, revealing a very obvious sense of resistance all over her body.
"If it's a magical beast, then I don't bother you to teach it, and I'll read books and learn by myself. β
Elena pursed her lips, resisting the urge to directly confiscate the spicy soup in front of Grindelwald, and said sullenly.
Gellert Grindelwald's reaction today was not unexpected, no matter which professor had a major teaching accident in the previous day's class, the next long period of time would inevitably become extremely dull - even the cheerful Hagrid, after the appearance of the Hippogriff winged beast hurting people, didn't he change the course content to how to feed the caterpillars.
"You may be misunderstood, but I don't mean to read the textbook to you. β
Grindelwald shook his head and stood up, walked to the workbench in the open kitchen and filled himself with a bowl of spicy soup, I have to say, although the taste is a little strange, this kind of delicious and stimulating breakfast is indeed very appetizing.
Back at the table, looking at the half-breed little girl with the words "I'm not happy" written on her face, Grindelwald shrugged and continued.
"Due to the size of the paper and the restrictions of the Ministry of Magic, the content presented in the book is actually very limited. If you really want to learn more about magical beasts, the only way to do it is to find a wizard with a lot of experience, such as Newt Scamander, for example...... I. β
As he spoke, Grindelwald pointed at himself proudly, "I have long said that there are no more than ten people in the entire wizarding world who are more proficient than me in the knowledge of magical beasts. β
In fact, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, published as a textbook for first-year wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is technically nothing more than an incomplete catalogue overview.
As far as Grindelwald knows, the truly complete version of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, compiled by Newt Scamander over the years, has never been published to the general public in the wizarding world because it involves too many classified documents and incidents.
In addition to Newt's family and close friends, the only people who had the pleasure of seeing the full version were Albus Dumbledore and some high-ranking officials of the European Ministry of Magic, and of course, for some reason, Grindelwald had seen most of it at Newmengard Castle - which was one of the reasons why he had the audacity to offer to teach Elena.
After all, in Grindelwald's opinion, asking questions in a field related to Fantastic Beasts that even Newt Scamander couldn't answer was almost as difficult as finding someone who could defeat both him and Albus Dumbledore at the same time.
"Really?
Elena glanced at Grindelwald suspiciously, turned around and took out the copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which had been flipped through several times from the bedroom.
She does believe that there is a castrated version and a full version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
Because Elena could feel it in her preparation and pastime, the contents of the book were too sketchy and superficial, and at best it could be used as an enlightenment storybook for children in ordinary wizarding families, or as a simple reference book - at most, to let most wizards know what to feed their children's favorite pet, Fluffy Fluff, or why it was better not to leave milk outside the house for the thorn to eat.
"Of course, you can ask me about a random magical animal that interests you. Grindelwald nodded nonchalantly.
"Well, that's it, Acromantula, they're ......," Elena hesitated, flipped the first page, and pointed to the eight-eyed chicken house at the front.
"Eight-eyed spider?" Grindelwald glanced at Elena's fingers and raised his chin confidently.
"The most dangerous animal in the magical part, huge and ferocious by nature, native to the island of Kalimantan, inhabiting dense jungles, is a rare magical animal that can speak human language. They are covered in thick black fur and can span up to fifteen feet when their legs are stretched to the sides. They have a pair of giant chelicerae that they use when eating live prey and dead ......"
"Stop, stop, stop. Actually, I'm not very interested in any of that. β
Elena blinked, and suddenly reached out her palm to interrupt Grindelwald's science, and the girl licked her lips and smiled shyly.
"What I want to know is...... Can these eight-eyed spiders be eaten, are they delicious, and how should they be eaten?"
I have to say that as a best-selling magical beast popular science book in the wizarding world, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is far less detailed than the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the East, and many particularly important links are obviously missing.
O_o?!
