Chapter 299: Les: Look, This Is How Runes Are Used
"Is there something wrong with Granger's schedule?" Daphne asked hurriedly after sitting down.
"Nothing, mind your own business." Rice didn't want to tell Daphne Hermione's little secret - she was probably using time magic to take some time-conflicting classes.
He took out the book "Ancient Runes Simple Introduction" that would be used in class later from his schoolbag and placed it on the desk.
"Have you read this book before?" Rice raised the textbook and waved it in front of Daphne.
Daphne shook her head as expected. She tried to read this book before school started, but she only felt a headache after reading it.
Unlike ordinary magic books, this book seems to have nothing to do with magic. It is more like a language textbook. The editor seems to be trying to teach her an ancient language.
Rice has also read this book "Ancient Runes Simple Introduction". After reading it, he found that modern wizards' understanding of runes is indeed different from theirs at that time.
In their time, runes were a kind of magical letters, but in the eyes of modern wizards, they only have the meaning of words.
The false gods of the Nordic world and their followers can really cast magic through runes. However, like wizards, they also need "qualification" to use rune magic.
This qualification is actually the same as the entry threshold for wizards, which is bloodline. However, the magical talent brought by the wizard's bloodline is like an admission ticket, and future personal development still depends on their own efforts. The Nordic pantheon really looks at the concentration of bloodline. The closer the bloodline to the God King and the true God, the stronger the power of the rune magic cast.
Although the magic of both groups requires "bloodline" to be cast, they are two completely opposite things.
The blood purity in the magic world is useless except for bragging. The blood purity in the Nordic pantheon really affects personal strength.
However, although modern rune teaching cannot teach everyone to use rune magic, it still has high research value. Because the Nordic side does use runes as a text carrier. After mastering runes, you can study ancient magic manuscripts written in runes, and you can also go to Northern Europe to participate in excavations and explorations in ancient ruins.
While Les and Daphne were chatting, the students who chose this course also arrived one after another. When the class time came, Professor Bathsheda Baburin, who taught ancient runes, walked into the classroom as the bell rang.
"Let me introduce myself briefly..." This witch, who was not young but had a tall figure, gave a self-introduction before the class started, telling everyone about the teaching content of the ancient runes course and the purpose of opening this course.
At the end, the old witch saw that the students were a little drowsy, so she took out a dark yellow ring, put it on her hand, and uttered a strange note: [ ], and then a ball of golden light the size of a coin appeared in her palm.
"This is rune magic performed using ancient runes. The rune I just mentioned is called 'Swoovelio', which means [sun]. It is said that the ancient Nordic wizards, who practiced this rune to the extreme, could possess the power of the sun and control the movement of the sun.
Ancient runes are not ordinary words. Each rune letter contains profound magic, but now rune magic can be said to be lost. I can only use this ring to exert a tiny bit of ability, which is far inferior to the fluorescent spell. And even if I am a poor user, there are not many in the world. Maybe there are people in Durmstrang in Northern Europe who are better at this than me." Professor Baburin's tone was full of regret, as if he regretted the loss of this magical magic.
Les thought this was normal. Professor Baburin probably has a very weak bloodline of the Nordic gods, so he can exert a little power of the rune magic with the help of the God's Relics Ring. Rune magic is lost with the death of these people with high blood concentration.
The flow of magic power of wizards was lost because it was too difficult, and the runes of the Nordic gods were also lost due to insufficient blood concentration. It can only be said that both sides have a bit of black humor.
Although it was just an inconspicuous ball of light, Professor Baburin still successfully attracted the attention of the students and then started today's class.
But unfortunately, the demonstration before the class was the only thing related to rune magic in this class. Next, Professor Baburin taught everyone the rune alphabet, the pronunciation of these letters and their meanings like an ordinary language teacher.
Soon, a class ended like this.
"After class today, remember to memorize the alphabet and their pronunciation when you go back. I will check it in the next class. Okay, class is over!" After assigning homework, Professor Baburin walked out of the classroom quickly.
Daphne, who was amazed by the rune magic demonstrated by Professor Baburin, was quite reluctant to leave. She looked at Les and asked him if he knew anything about rune magic, or whether the letters of those medieval wizards mentioned this magical rune.
"Of course." Les introduced Rune Magic to Daphne and suggested that she give up the idea of using it. Because without divine blood, even if Rune Magic was performed through various means, the power of the runes would definitely not be satisfactory.
However, what Daphne noticed was that even without bloodline, it can be performed through some means.
"Let me see!"
Rice sighed and took out an eyeball from the bag on his waist.
This eyeball came from several secret order monks who tried to invade Hogwarts last year. Although their strength was mediocre, the "equipment" that exploded on their bodies was a real good thing, such as this eyeball, which was an eyeball of a false god.
Rice clenched the eyeball with his hand and input his magic power into it.
Under the continuous input of magic power from Rice, the eyeball became active, and Rice also briefly gained the ability to perform rune magic through this eyeball.
[】
Rice also uttered a strange note from his mouth. The next moment, a layer of ice formed on the desk in front of him.
"Look, this is how the rune magic is used." Before anyone noticed the change here, Rice quickly removed the thin ice that had just been generated.
Daphne:? !
You really know rune magic? !
She was really shocked: What on earth is there that Les doesn't know how to do?
Answer: Flying
Except for not being able to ride a broomstick, Les seems to be an all-round talent.
"If you want, just take it and play with it." Les wanted to let Daphne try rune magic, but when her eyes fell on the eyeball, all her interest in rune magic disappeared.
