Chapter 27 Hermione's Rune Journey
Office of the Ancient Magical Culture Professor.
Felix was correcting homework, and the job was really boring, which made him feel like he was calculating 1 plus 1 and repeated hundreds of times. Fortunately, when he handed over the job to Hermione, who had just knocked on the door and was not clear about the situation, he was completely liberated.
"The main test papers for the fifth and seventh grades are mainly selected and translated short sentences, and it is relatively simple to correct - as long as you compare the correct answers, you can just cross all the wrong ones."
Hermione lived up to the name of a top student and quickly got into the state. Moreover, she was very good at this type of work.
Felix looked through Hermione's revised paper - this was to be handed over to Professor McGonagall in an academic journal, and he had to strictly check it. However, instead of simply and roughly modifying it directly, he kept making suggestions and giving pages of the reference book.
He believes this method will help Hermione more.
Half an hour later, the two of them completed their work almost at the same time.
"Okay, let's get into the topic."
Before Hermione was fulfilling her assistant duties, but now Felix needs to fulfill her promise.
The two sat face to face on the sofa, separated by a small table, and Felix called two glasses of juice with his wand. He tried to relax Miss Granger, but she still seemed to be very reserved.
"It can be seen from your paper that you have enough knowledge of ancient magic literature and history. Even if you have not started learning, I can assure you that your progress will be very fast."
"Professor, I am reading "A Brief Introduction to Ancient Magical Texts", and at the same time I have learned how to read "Dictionary Texts" and "Magic Chart Collection", including the book list you gave me before, but most of them did not fully understand it." The little witch sat up straight and quickly introduced her latest learning progress.
Felix was stunned for a moment, "It's great, but I won't spend too much time discussing how to translate with you. At most, I'll give you some advice."
"You can start from around 900, that is, the time when Hogwarts was founded, the four founders were great figures who inherited the past and brought them back to the future. They not only translated a lot of manuscripts from their predecessors, but also left a lot of research materials that made future generations scratch their heads. These contents filled the earliest libraries."
"However, now this part of the information has been placed in the forbidden book area, which is the most complete reserved by Ms. Ravenclaw, while Slytherin's information has been lost. Perhaps he took away his research results in anger after he split with the other three..."
Felix told a story about a piece of history, which made Hermione feel enchanted. "However, it may be that the content of Slytherin's research is not suitable for being placed in the library, who knows."
"If you need it, I can give you a note of the book."
Felix stood up and signaled Hermione to follow, and the two came to his workbench.
"My research direction is not about translation, but about discovering the power of the magic text itself. Just like this-"
He picked up a piece of chestnut wood piece the size of a palm on the table, injected magic power into the carving knife, and carved magic texts on the surface of the chestnut wood. When these magic texts were first written, they quickly burst out with a scorching red light, but they quickly faded and turned into pitch-black patterns.
Hermione saw this for the first time, and she looked at it intently, while scraping her stomach to try to analyze what the professor was doing, but she found nothing.
Felix finished carving the magic text and handed it to Hermione casually, "You can feel it."
She reached out to take the chestnut chips, and without rubbing them, she could keenly sense the magic waves above. Her fingers slashed through the dark magic text, and a warm touch came from her fingertips.
"The magic text can store magic power for a short time, but if it is not processed, the magic power on it can last up to three days, which is still the result of the superposition of the characteristics of the chestnut wood itself."
Hermione nodded. As a magic wand material, Kurimura has excellent ability to carry and conduct magic power.
“There are many solutions to this kind of defect, such as—”
“You can penetrate them and form loops, which greatly extends the retention time of magic;”
“Special protective magic can also be imposed;”
"Or add storage, conversion loop..."
Hermione's little head was trying hard to remember, and she wanted to pick up the parchment immediately and record every word that Professor Hayp said in the book.
Felix's explanation process is actually a process of re-sorting his own knowledge system. Unlike the previous three years when he was "not full", he now has too many choices and must make careful choices.
Therefore, it was by the way to teach the little witch. At this moment, he fell into thinking and murmured: "But these methods are only maintained. Thirty or fifty years, they will eventually decay with time."
Why did the sound become smaller? Hermione quickly narrowed the distance between the two and stretched her neck and listened hard.
"Are the heroes and creations in myths speculation or real existence?"
"Are they powerful wizards?"
"If so, how did those magical creatures that have been passed down for thousands of years be immortal?"
Watching the professor fall into silence, Hermione guessed, "Maybe they are constantly providing magic power in themselves."
Felix laughed in silence, "How is this possible? They are not creatures."
"What about the branch hat? The branch hat has been around for thousands of years, and it can communicate with people and has its own wisdom." Hermione tried to give examples to prove her guess. "I also mentioned the portraits of the previous principals in the principal's office, which I heard from Harry."
"Miss Granger, the portrait itself is a wonderful magical creature that can carry a person's thoughts. And as far as I know, the magical portrait is necessary to maintain it for a long time, although this interval may last for decades..."
"However, the Sorting Hat," Felix pondered, "I did ignore it, I didn't know about it, maybe I should find an opportunity to reintroduce it?"
"Okay, Miss Granger, let our brainstorm journey stop here. Next-"
Felix took the chestnut piece the size of a palm from Hermione, "Next I will penetrate these magical texts and make them form a loop, so you can pay attention."
The job was quite meticulous. He carefully pulled out the lines and connected them to each other, explaining while operating, "This step is very important. Many alchemy creatures have complex functions."
More than ten minutes later, he handed the chestnut chips to Hermione, allowing her to feel the difference before and after.
"I felt the magic flowing, fluctuating, and ups and downs, and they... they seemed to resist me." Hermione said his feelings in confusion.
This is really incredible.
Felix knew, "You said resistance because it was a rough semi-finished product in itself, and the magic waves spread wildly, and you felt it."
"Of course, this also shows that you are very keen and you must have a strong talent in spells."
