Origins of Runes

There was a brief silence in the room. Albert never thought that Professor Broad would talk about it so straightforwardly, but he still nodded, saying that he could understand.

Indeed, Ancient Runes is no longer useful today, unless you need to decipher those ancient books.

As for using it to cast spells? In Albert's knowledge, Dumbledore may have this ability. Whether others can use them skillfully is questionable.

This is just like when I first learned English in my previous life, I had to look up the sentences in the English book word by word in the dictionary before I could barely connect them together and guess the original meaning of the sentence.

"Can I see the words Runic Script on the parchment?" Albert pointed to the parchment on the table and asked Professor Broad.

"Of course, no problem." Professor Broad seemed to be curious about the standard of Albert Runic Script.

He didn't expect the other party to understand it, so he didn't stop Albert from reading it because the runes on the parchment were very broken.

With the consent of Professor Broad, Albert picked up the parchment and read it carefully. He found that the characters Runic Script on it were very strange. Albert immediately recognized what these were. They were similar to the runes he used not long ago.

Unlike Muggle World and Runic Script, these runes are connected into one. If you want to decipher them, you need to study them one by one.

Albert noticed that there were notes next to some runes, which should have been left by Ancient Runes Professor Bathsheda or Professor Broad.

Meaning... eyes, trees, springs...

A few short words, but they made Albert frown slightly. He felt as if he had touched something, but he couldn't remember it for the time being.

"These runes... were they disrupted?" Albert asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it was disrupted." Professor Broad nodded and said, "As you can see, these Runic Script words themselves are difficult to translate."

"Well, you need to take it apart and study it before you can understand it." Albert said seriously.

Could it be that Ancient Runes is like this?

No, Albert has read the books woven by Ancient Runes. The ones in front of you are obviously runes.

However, I really don't know who would be so free to get such a bunch of runes.

Albert didn't say this, but he did think so. Not many people can understand it when using Runic Script. If you also organize them into runes and put the runes into a paragraph, how many people can really understand it?

Or are these runes actually created by Professor Bathsheda for Professor Broad to practice with Ancient Runes?

Just as Albert was thinking, there was a knock on the office door.

Katrina·McDougal appeared outside Defence Against the Dark Arts office's door. He looked at Albert who was standing in front of the desk in the office and carefully reading the parchment in surprise. He couldn't help but blinked, as if he was curious as to why this guy was here.

Albert also raised his head when the door was knocked, and happened to meet the eyes of Katrina who opened the door and came in. He just nodded slightly at the other party and continued to focus on the parchment.

The more he interpreted the runes on the parchment, Albert felt that something in his memory began to loosen, but he seemed not to have guessed what was going on.

"I just played two games with Wizard's Chess and Mr. Anderson. His chess skills are pretty good." Professor Broad noticed Katrina's doubtful eyes and said casually. "However, Mr. Anderson seems to be interested in Ancient Runes. Katrina, just sit down and play a game of chess with me."

Professor Broad is optimistic about Albert.

Katrina has already guessed this. After all, Albert is a genius, and geniuses will always be treated specially.

"Focus." Professor Broad noticed that Katrina was distracted, and reminded him, "Don't worry too much about other people, just concentrate on doing your own thing."

"Yeah!" Katrina returned his attention to the chess game on the table. However, she still lost the chess game. When she raised her head in a daze, she found that Albert was actually sitting on Professor Broad's desk, and she didn't know what she was writing.

"How dare he..."

"Professor, the runes on the parchment are incomplete, right?" Albert relied on his mastery of Runic Script characters and spent nearly half an hour to translate most of the runes.

"Oh, why do you say that?" Professor Broad asked curiously. Albert is indeed right, the runes here are only part of it.

"Well, I couldn't even form a sentence after translating." Albert took the parchment full of letters and walked over.

I think these should be two famous poems in "Words of the Gods".

""Words of the Gods", what is that?" Katrina focused his attention on the parchment in Albert's hand and asked doubtfully.

"Tell me the origin of the word Runic Script." Albert said simply, "Odin exchanged one eye for the spring of wisdom... In order to seek the mystery of higher wisdom, he hung himself on a tree for nine days and nine nights, and stabbed himself with a spear. The blood fell on the ground and gathered into the word Runic Script.

Albert translated the runes into words by guessing, then connected them with things he had seen before, and guessed the general content.

When he was first translating, he really didn't react for a moment.

Later, as more runes were interpreted, Albert was able to piece together most of the content.

Katrina looked confused, but she still knew what the word Runic Script was.

Compared to Katrina, the Professor Broad next to him looked shocked and incredulous.

Professor Broad never thought about it, but Albert actually interpreted it.

Blind? No, this is unlikely.

"By the way, are you sure you just taught yourself the word Runic Script? "Professor Broad's face twitched continuously, and he roared loudly in his heart, "You have the nerve to claim that you can barely understand?"

If this is really barely understandable, what do other guys who are good at Runic Script count?

"Professor Broad? "Albert raised his head and called out in confusion. The other party suddenly came back to his senses and explained with a smile, "I'm not sure because I'm trying it myself, but I think it's right."

"Professor Bathsheda will definitely be very happy that you choose Ancient Runes. If you are interested, just write her a letter, or go to the side..." Professor Broad thought for a while, but felt that this was inappropriate, because he felt that Albert might not need to go to class.

To be honest, there were still a lot of runes left on the table. Albert didn't even use the Runes dictionary, so he disassembled, translated and pieced together the runes.

Professor Broad is not sure whether Professor Bathsheda has this ability, but he knows very well that he definitely does not.
