Chapter 401 Ancient Runes
Standing on the podium, William felt more comfortable than ever.
He looked up, and all the students had a panoramic view.
When these people graduate in the future, he will be able to say aloud: "All the babies I brought up!"
This is much more domineering than "all my classmates".
Of course, William was referring to those outstanding students.If there were a few Death Eaters in it, he would definitely deny Sanlian immediately and disregard the relationship.
William was so emotional that the students below also had different expressions.
Hermione stared at William with a pleasantly surprised expression, but also mixed with a little annoyance kept in the dark, as if she wanted to cast a curse on him.
Gore and Crabbe in the last row were stealing rice cakes. When William glanced at them, they swallowed them without even chewing.
It also choked his throat.
Well, William has identified two unlucky ones for reconstruction.
Pansy started throwing dog food early in the morning, she looked at Malfoy with a distressed expression, and then tightly grabbed his right hand.
Malfoy was impatient in every way, and he tried to shake it off, but his right arm was wrapped in bandages and hung by a bandage sling, so he couldn't use his strength at all.
In addition to these messy little movements in the classroom, there are old chairs and creaking noises.
"Good morning, everyone!" William's voice sounded clearly from the podium.
He waved his wand, turned on the projector, and an image appeared on the blackboard behind him.
"Ready, how many people can recognize the building in the picture?"
"Hogwarts Castle!" More than a dozen voices rang out in unison.
"Yes, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft used thousands of wizards just to build this huge castle, which is larger than the Quidditch World Cup.
This was definitely an incomparable architectural miracle in the turbulent era of the Middle Ages. Even now, no magic school can compare with Hogwarts. "
Everyone looked proud.
"So, let's continue to look at this picture, what is this?"
William waved his wand, and the picture turned into a high-altitude top view, which was a strange figure composed of dense lines:
A cross-shaped structure that emanates from a central point resembling a trident weapon.
At a glance, it looks like a crop circle.
William looked around, but no one spoke this time.
"Is it true that no one knows?" William raised his voice, seemingly disappointed.
"Such a simple question, whoever answers correctly, I will give her ten points."
With a smile on his lips, William glanced at Hermione intentionally or unintentionally.
Hermione pursed her lips tightly, her face flushed.Being a know-it-all, she really didn't know what it was.
William's words are obviously implying that she... remembers the bet.
hateful!
"Seriously, am I the only one who has taken the trouble to read "Hogwarts Castle Schematic?" William pretended to be surprised.
Everyone shook their heads in confusion, even Hermione was no exception.
"Well, I dare say that you don't even know a thousandth of this school." William pretended to sigh.
"The castle structure diagram is in the Hogwarts library. There are only seven books and thousands of pages. It is perfect for leisure time."
William shrugged.
"So you guys still have to work hard to improve your knowledge, don't you?"
This is really not William bragging. When he was preparing to make a map of Hogwarts in the first grade, Dumbledore recommended this set of books and asked him to read it seriously.
At first William thought that Dumbledore asked him to be a "civilian", but the more he watched it, the more he understood the castle.
Discovered many secrets that have not been discovered before.For example, Gunter has repaired the underground pipes and hidden the secret room.
Seeing that no one really knew, William explained:
"This is a high-altitude view of Hogwarts. The mountains and the roof of the castle together form this strange pattern... If there is a Muggle satellite image, it will be more clear.
Come on, let's take another look at this. "
William snapped his fingers, and another pattern appeared next to the overhead view.
"It seems..." Seamus exclaimed.
"Yes, block those shadows, it's exactly the same."
William waved his wand, and those black lines and shadows disappeared.
He tapped on the small blackboard and said, "This is a rune talisman that is rarely seen nowadays—'Reverence at the Helm'."
William's voice fell, and a line of words appeared on the blackboard: gishjálmur!
"Some ancient wizards would engrave 'Awe Steering' on their armor.
It has the magical power to instill fear in the enemy's heart, and it can also inspire courage in itself.It also has powerful defenses against many jinxes. "
"You mean Hogwarts is a big magic?"
"That's right, Hogwarts Castle itself is a magical rune, and the builders are undoubtedly geniuses, they endowed the castle with the power of defense.
Once the ancient magic is in motion, it can unleash shields that are more powerful than super armor, like a Hogwarts train.
It is strong enough to withstand multiple magical attacks to ensure that students leave the school smoothly.
Hogwarts is the safest place in the world, not just casually. "
The creaking of the chairs subsided, and everyone stared at the painting.
"Those who have bought my alchemy products, please raise your hands." William asked again.
All the wizards in the class raised their hands.
"I didn't expect it to be so popular..." William chuckled. "So, do you want to know how to make it?"
The chair creaking sound is completely gone.
Everyone's appetite was completely whetted.
Even Goyle and Crabbe are no exception.
William pulled a warm-up badge from his safety watch.
"This is a semi-finished product. You can see that there is a string of red ancient runes in this place."
"These are actually two runes, one of which is Mannaz for people and Kenaz for fire.
Giving a person fire means warmth. "
"Sir, it may also be burning." Dean Thomas unconsciously used honorifics.
"Yes, Mr. Thomas." William smiled.
"Ancient runes are actually somewhat similar to transfiguration, and what they transform into depends entirely on the wizard's own interpretation.
The same sentence, with different meanings, will have different effects.
So when buying products from other stores, you must look carefully, whether he is selling warm-up badges or burning badges. "
Everyone laughed.
"And what I want to teach you is to learn these characters and know how to give meanings and create similar magic items."
"However, I have seen some imitations made by senior grades, and the effect they made is not as good as that of Akali's mysterious shop."
Pansy finally stopped pestering Malfoy, but raised her hand to ask.
"Miss Parkinson, just knowing the meaning is not enough. Some knowledge of alchemy is needed to achieve a stable energy supply."
"What is it?" Seamus asked curiously.
"Mr. Finnigan, I can't say, this involves commercial secrets." William blinked.
"If any of you are willing to join the Akali mysterious shop after graduation, you may be able to learn these real techniques."
Everyone whispered and discussed excitedly with each other.The ability of Akali's mysterious store to make money made them really greedy.
"William, what conditions do you need?" Someone shouted.
"You need to study this course well, at least get an O in the OWLs exam, otherwise I won't consider taking you."
Everyone sighed.
"Friends," William raised his voice, stepping up to the front of the podium.
"Ancient runes are composed of straight lines, and these letters are called magic symbols.
But because of its complexity, interpretations that are too far apart can lead to failure, and interpretations that are completely wrong can spell disaster.
When standard spells were invented one by one, ancient runes were not taken seriously.
But we already know that it still plays an important role in the advanced field of magic.
This is something that standard spells don't have!
In the next school year, I will lead you to realize the charm of this kind of writing.
To learn about the hidden histories intertwined in the text. "
Everyone applauded desperately.
