Chapter 183: Demon Text
The next day, Norin sat in the classroom, waiting for the upcoming Magic lesson. The classroom was hung with a variety of stone tablets, photographs, and rubbings, all of which were samples of magical inscriptions obtained by archaeologists.
It is those objects that contain an ancient atmosphere that make the whole classroom also covered with a layer of mysterious charm.
Norin sat in his chair in a daze. After hitting the wall in the basement yesterday, Campbell Ayman almost doubted his life on the spot, and when he checked the wall, his eyes glared at the boss and he almost put his face against the wall.
After looking it up to no avail, he was afraid that Norlin would not believe it, so he swore to Norlin that he absolutely did not speak, which made Norlin cry and laugh.
Norin naturally didn't doubt the veracity of Campbell's words, but he became more and more curious about the teleportation door.
After returning home, Norlin thought that he could prepare for class with peace of mind, but as soon as he stepped into the rest room of Gerofyne, he saw a large number of people standing up in unison, staring at him with burning eyes.
It felt like a naked lamb being targeted by a pack of gray wolves that had been hungry for days.
Norin shuddered slowly, and just wondered if the way he had entered the door was wrong, and whether he wanted to go out and re-enter again, when the hungry wolves suddenly glanced at each other and showed extremely kind smiles.
After a long period of effort, Norlin figured out that what Sturusson said was true, these people were the presidents and vice presidents of various clubs, and the purpose was all for recruiting talents.
Norin is naturally that Xianxiu, his body stiffly listened to the self-reported doors, the Potions Society, the Spell Club or something, the Dance Club, the Chess Club, the Ski Club, what the hell?
Don't you learn the dark arts, play chess all day long, climb mountains and ski?
Norin felt that he couldn't breathe in his chest, but those presidents smiled one by one, and with the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Norlin still politely, tactfully and resolutely refused all.
The presidents felt reluctant when they heard Norin's reply, but when they saw that Norlin hadn't joined anyone, they were relieved. It's very unhappy that you can't get it, but if others can't get it, then you can be relieved.
After sending them all away, Norlin looked around, only to find that Campbell had left himself behind and returned to the dormitory. He secretly cursed for being unrighteous, and walked back to his room step by step under the strange gazes of the others in the lounge.
The number of people in the classroom gradually increased. When the class bell rang, Norlin looked up and found a young middle-aged professor standing on the podium.
"Who is this professor?"
Norlin turned his head to the side and asked Giles in a low voice. He didn't ask Campbell, a person who only cared about the secret room certainly didn't know as much about the professor as he did about the good student Giles.
It's just that Giles also shook his head a little strangely and said:
"I don't know...... Seems like a new professor, at least I've never met him before. ”
Hearing this, Norin observed the professor without a trace. He was dressed in a black professor's robe, his face was slightly dark, and his brown short expression was calm and not angry.
After the bell rang, the professor knocked on the lectern, and the classroom fell silent.
"My name is Rodney Hunter, and I'm the new professor of the Magic Language."
Professor Hunter spoke, writing his name on the blackboard with a strong handwriting, and a sharp momentum emanated from the blackboard.
The students did not discuss it, and they all waited curiously for his next step.
"The Rune script, also known as the Runi script, was the common script used by wizards in antiquity."
Professor Hunter didn't talk nonsense, and after introducing himself, he went straight to the point, "In the eyes of Muggles, this kind of writing is dead and extinct. But in the wizarding world, it still plays a vital role. Many spells and scripts need to be relied on in order to build their own systems. ”
"The rune script is most widely spoken in Scandinavia and the British Isles. That said, our school and Hogwarts have some unique advantages in learning the language. ”
Norin smiled, this is indeed true, Hogwarts also has an ancient Rune class, but it is only a senior class. And Durmstrang began teaching this subject in the third grade.
It's also understandable that Durmstrang specializes in the dark arts, and the rune text is indispensable among many of the dark arts.
"The Rune script consists of a mother writing system and a sub-writing system, including the Phoenician, Kumai, Old Italian, Post-Vusac, Anglo-Saxon Photok, and so on......"
Professor Hunter spoke eloquently about a lot of things that were tantamount to heavenly books to the students, and Norlin listened to them with relish. With the foundation laid for Norlin by Professor Barbling, Norlin has entered the classroom in Runicu and can easily understand what Professor Hunter is saying.
"Ancient magic scripts are a kind of runes that focus on 'meaning', and behind a large number of symbols, there are complex and subtle symbolic meanings. Until now, scholars of ancient magic have been studying various ancient texts, trying to understand the ancient wizards and the true face of ancient magic. ”
"But in fact, the ancient magic texts that we have come into contact with are themselves a kind of ancient magic—including the spells we use now, which have also evolved through the specific application of ancient magic texts."
At this, Professor Hunter paused, took out a piece of parchment, and wrote a peculiar symbol on it. Then, he took out a white feather and gently placed it on top of the parchment.
The moment he let go, the students were surprised to see that the feather was lifted by an invisible force, hanging lightly in the unobstructed air.
"As long as we clearly understand the meaning of each rune letter, and order the required runes in a specific array, we can use magic to make magic work."
Professor Hunter looked around the classroom at the surprised faces and smiled for the first time.
"It's ...... Levitation Charm? ”
Someone asked in surprise.
"Of course...... No. ”
Professor Hunter took the parchment, and the feather lost its support and settled quietly on the podium.
"It's just part of the levitation spell. We know that the levitation charm allows objects to move in a variety of ways according to the wizard's wishes, rather than just 'floating'. ”
Professor Hunter said aloud, "As you can see, what I have just written is the ancient rune, and the ancient rune is one of the ancient scripts deduced on the basis of many 'ancient Phoenician runes', and in terms of the degree of mystery and difficulty of understanding, it is the 'simplified' version of the scripts that are closest to our time......"
He smiled and paused, giving the students time to understand.
