Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 679 Sara's Father
If a person does something suspicious and does not give a proper explanation, it will often attract others' suspicion.And if the skeptical person is a more careful guy, then exposure will become inevitable.
Just like Ens, his coping response quickly caught Alexander's attention.
"...He read...is this one?"
The next day, when Enns took the time to go to the old place to practice the spell, Alexander took the opportunity to come to the library.At this moment, he was standing in front of a bookshelf that Ensi often visited, and he stroked the slightly old book spine.
"It should be right..." He pulled out the book, glanced at the book title on the cover, and opened the page on the spot. "Explanation of Runic Translation..."Anglo-Saxon- Anglo-Saxon Futhorc "? What kind of mess is this..."
Due to the difficulty of getting started and the boring characteristics of ancient magic texts, there have been few candidates for this course since the past.Alexander now felt these characteristics very clearly. After all, he turned the book like this and just saw the densely packed text and symbols on the paper, he could not help but want to retreat.
Yes, even if he teaches this course now, Maca, whom he respects, is still a little bit insensitive.
but……
"...I think it's so boring, that Ens Tavon..." Alexander frowned and looked at him as he couldn't help thinking, "Is he really interested in this kind of thing?"
Thinking about this, he quickly shook his head.
"Impossible," Alexander whispered to himself, "How can a guy who can say,'I only want to learn what's useful', could learn this—"
Halfway through the conversation, Maca's face flashed across his mind, causing him to stop the conversation.
"No, maybe this is indeed a'useful' subject..."
Thinking about it this way, Alexander simply closed the book and walked straight to the lending registry with it.
"Mrs. Pins, I need to borrow this book--"
"Write the title of the book here, and then sign it...Remember, it is forbidden to damage the book. I will check it carefully when returning the book! If there is a little bit..."
It is the responsibility of Mrs. Pince, who is a librarian, to manage the books in the library and ensure that the collection is not soiled and damaged by the little wizards.But just as she cared for the books to the same degree as forbidden, she couldn't help being too much.
In fact, no matter who came here to borrow books, she never gave a good look.
Of course, Alexander didn't feel much about Mrs. Pince's long-winded Alexander. He just wanted to borrow the book and try to find some reasons for the change in Enns's attitude.
...
"True..." "Please come in."
Recently, it has become quite difficult to find him in Maca's office.But Alexander didn't miss an opportunity. Taking advantage of the short break before lunch, he quickly came to Maca's office with his books and knocked on the door.
"Oh, Alexander?"
Even Maca seems a bit tired due to the busyness these days.This exhaustion is spiritual, after all, it is still very troublesome to deal with a group of foreign wizards who may not speak all the same language all day long.
"...Come in! What's the matter? Is there anything to do with me?"
Seeing Alexander's breathless appearance, he knew that the other party must have run over.But he wanted to come, if he was later, he would have to entertain the guests in the side hall, it must be inconvenient for Hogwarts students to get in and out.
When Maca invited Alexander into the office to help him quench his thirst, Alexander immediately refused.
"No, no need..." Alexander swallowed hard, alleviating a little dryness in his throat, "Professor McLean, I want to ask you a question—"
As he spoke, he handed out the book in his hand and showed the cover in front of Maca.
"That's it... What kind of ancient magic text is Anglo-Saxon-Futtok? Where does it usually appear?"
After hearing this, Maca looked down at the book, but did not take it.
"Why, I am interested in the translation of ancient magic texts? This is rare among students..." Even Maca has to admit that simple translation of ancient texts is boring. "Strictly speaking, this is not ancient Mowen is a deformed text deduced from runes. It was used for more everyday written writing more than a thousand years ago..."
Having said that, he spread his hand and said: "In other words, this kind of text is actually almost the same as the English we use now-they don't have magical powers."
"Uh...so, this is a simple ancient text?" Alexander said with a gloomy expression.
"Well, yes." Maca nodded, "I want to say where it will appear... I think the British area-that is, some ancient documents on our side will have them?"
Seeing Alexander's faintly disappointed expression, Maca changed his mind, thinking that he was not interested in this kind of ancient characters that had no magical properties.
"Don't be disappointed, this kind of text was originally developed on the basis of runes," he smiled and patted Alexander on the shoulder, "and runes are magical-if you want to learn better Rune, it will definitely help to study this more plain text first."
"Ah, uh..." Alexander nodded, "So it's like this...I understand. Then...thank you, professor! I'm going out first..."
The answer he got from Maca gave him some guesses.He believes that Ens may want to lay a good foundation for his future courses first, and gradual progress is undoubtedly a far-sighted learning method.
After sending Alexander out of the office again, Maca returned to the desk and collected some documents.
He didn't think much about Alexander's inquiry.Because since he took up the post of professor of ancient magic texts, the number of students interested in this course has gradually increased, and there are often little wizards who go through such books in the library.
Of course, interest is one thing, but not many students can persist.
Just like at the beginning, there were quite a lot of students who went to the magic text classroom to listen to, but as the course continued to advance, most of the students who went to the lecture gave up.
His teaching methods and the latest courses of ancient magic texts he summarized are indeed more detailed and attractive than the past content.But the learning process of this kind of subject, after all, will inevitably be a lot of recitation and copying, and it is natural that most students have no patience.
Without taking this matter to heart, after Maca packed up the papers, she got up and left her office again.From start to finish, he stayed here for less than half an hour, and his busyness can be seen as a glimpse.
Before rushing to the side hall, he had to go to the school gate to welcome a group of guests from Egypt.The guests who arrived before today are not delegations from any country or region, but a team of judges invited by the International Wizarding Federation from the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center.
The world's largest alchemy research institution was originally established under the banner of searching and excavating ancient alchemy documents and monuments. At the beginning, it was just an "ancient alchemy exhibition hall" with its own archaeological team.
However, since archaeological operations have not made much progress, they simply changed their heads and started to study new alchemy on their own with a certain amount of ancient documents.
But now, the scale is much larger than before, and there are many alchemy product projects directly supplied to the Ministry of Magic of various countries.
It is worth mentioning that in this process from archaeology to innovation, the Hornheim family, as the leader, is absolutely indispensable.
"Presumably you are the head of the research center-Mr. Alisandro von Hohenheim, right? I am Maca McLean, a professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts."
Maca did not expect that the Egyptian side would come faster than he expected.When he came to the forecourt of the castle, he soon discovered that there was already a group of people in front of the school.
And more importantly, he also saw a fat man who was particularly eye-catching among the crowd, and Sarah Hornheim standing next to the fat man.
The brothers and sisters met again here, and the fat man still had a low-brow and pleasing appearance. It was obvious that the two people who upset him the most, his father and sister, are here today.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of the siblings, Maca was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward to say hello.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that a man with a big fat man like Noah and a little beauty like Sarah as a pair of children was actually a muscular man with an unusually strong physique.Even though this man is wearing a suit that fits well, his extremely strong muscles are still bulging, which can be seen at a glance.
"Oh! You are Mr. McLean?" The Mr. Hohenheim laughed boldly. "Your "The Mystery of Ancient Magic Text" is very valuable, but it's a pity that you didn't sell it publicly on the market... It took a lot of thought to get one book!"
He was talking about the magic text textbook that Maca had compiled in the past. In principle, this book is only available in the Hogwarts library. Outsiders who want to get it can only rely on relationships to find it. Someone has copied a copy.
"This is a textbook for teaching," Maca said with a smile, "If you want, you can actually just write a letter to me and ask for it... Come on, Mr. Hohenheim, please come in first! Lunch! It's ready for you all..."
Greetings at the gate were obviously not an issue, just after a few words, Maca invited the other party into the castle, just to have a ready-made lunch.
Sarah and Fat Noah were silently accompanied.
