In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 216

  Chapter 216 214. The same is true for general spell removal

  But Jon has no habit of studying other people's privacy.

  He is not interested in what oath Sir Stoke made, only interested in this stone tablet suspected to be left by Voldemort.

  Jon squatted down, looked at the densely packed ancient runes, and carefully figured them out.

  In fact, most of the ancient runes in the magic world refer to runes.

  In Hogwarts Castle, which is now under Voldemort's control, there is still an elective course for senior pure-blood and mixed-blood colleges called "Ancient Runes".

The characters on this stone slab are obviously also runes, but runes, like most characters, are also divided into rare characters and commonly used characters, and there are so many rare characters that many experts who specialize in this field spent their entire lives studying Not all can be found.

  Because these characters were all magical when they were created, and in ancient times, especially in ancient times when magic wands had not been invented, runes were an important aid for ancient spellcasting.

There are many talented wizards who will continue to invent new runes. At that time, there were no magic schools established, and the inheritance of magic still maintained the oldest master-apprentice system. Many runes were passed down in this era. buried.

  So in fact, there are also archaeologists in the magic world. They visit the ruins or cemeteries of wizards around the world, not for real wealth, but for knowledge belonging to ancient wizards.

  Jon stared at this stone slab for a long time. Among these densely packed runes with almost thousands of characters, he only recognized a few familiar words, and these words could not be pieced together into a complete sentence.

  Unable to find a clue from the meaning, he drew out his wand, and lightly pointed at the stone slab with the tip of the wand.

  Then, all the runes lit up faintly, as if Jon had triggered something.

   "These runes all have magic power."

   he said in surprise.

  Sir Stoke said with a serious face.

"This is the key to my anxiety all the time. Even if I don't know it, I have some superficial understanding of the ancient runes. I know that the runes left in the magic world are basically just the words themselves, the magic power attached to them. , all of which have been worn down with the passage of time. Nowadays, there are very few wizards who can write ancient runes with magical powers. Except for professors who teach such courses in magic schools, there are not many wizards in the entire European magic world. indivual."

  Jon's eyes were a little bright, and he stared closely at the runes on the slate.

   "Not to mention being able to write so much."

"Yes, the person who left this slate must have deep research in the field of runes. Such a person will not be unknown in the magic world, so why did he come to me and leave this?" Sir Stoke His tone was full of confusion.

   But this point adds evidence to Jon's guess. People who can write so many runes, not to mention the European magic world, can count the wizards in the entire Western world on one hand.

   Voldemort is obviously a person of this level.

   This slate is most likely what he left behind!

  Jon doesn't have that deep rune knowledge, but there are many magic books about runes in the library on the Hogwarts carriage, and they are still in the cabin of the Hogwarts.

  He can sell what he learns now. After all, it is not for him to write out the ancient rune, but to identify it. It may take some work to rely on abundant information, but it is not impossible.

   "When I came out of school, I also brought some information on the ancient runes on board. If Sir, you are willing to wait patiently, I can bring the information over and study it slowly."

  Hearing Jon's words, Sir Stoke's face showed joy.

   "Of course I have enough patience, Professor Johnson. Don't worry, if you can help me solve the secret on this slate, I will return you a generous reward."

   "There is no need for any reward. If you can solve these runes, it will be regarded as some reward for disturbing you these days."

  Jon didn't say too much, and then he stopped staying, turned around and left with Sir Stoke.

When they went down to the 17th floor, they met Neville and the others who just came out of the pasture to observe the living conditions of the cows. Jon called the three boys Neville, Ron and Lee, and returned to Hogwarts with them On the Zeus.

   When sending them away from the tower, Sir Stoke was obviously curious about the Hogwarts ship that was staying on the sea. Jon saw that he had the idea of ​​visiting, but he didn't invite him.

  Even if there are sufficient preparations on board, during the insurance period, he will not easily bring an outsider aboard. Even from the current point of view, this Sir Stoke is indeed a good person.

  After returning to the ship, Jon immediately summoned Nick and George and told them what he found on the tower.

"Actually, I know a lot of runes." Nick said, "During the time when Hogwarts was founded, runes were not so forgotten in the wizarding world. Although I didn't write them myself, I knew But I can recognize a lot.”

  Hearing Nick's words, Jon pondered for a moment, and finally he denied the idea of ​​letting Nick go to the tower with him.

"You can't hide your identity. It's no secret that you used to be a resident ghost in Gryffindor. It's not worth taking the risk to gamble on whether this Sir will recognize you for this matter. However, although You can't go to that tower, but I remember some of the opening lines of those runes."

  Jon tried, wrote the first ancient rune on the slate on the parchment, and brought it to Nick.

   "Can you see any information through this sentence?"

  Nick obviously knew a lot of runes, he just glanced at them and said.

   "I've seen this at the beginning. It must be a rune about sealing spells. Generally, ancient wizards would use this rune to seal something valuable."

  Jon's eyes lit up.

   "Then do you know how to crack this rune?"

"This rune is actually similar to the blocking and unlocking spells on spells today." Nick explained, "A lock that has been cast with a blocking spell can't be opened by an unlocking spell, but if the magic power of the caster is strong enough, Then this blocking spell can be broken easily, even if the unlocking spell is not used, the universal solution is the same."

   "But now very few people can write the lock-opening spell that reverses this rune. Besides, you said that the rune is enough for a thousand words, and the magic power attached to it must be extremely powerful. This is even more difficult."

  Listening to Nick's words, not only did Jon not frown, but he was shocked.

   "What did you just say at the end? Nick!"

  Nick froze.

   "I said this is not easy to crack"

   "No, I mean the end of the previous sentence!"

   "Uh, the same applies to universal despelling?"

  Jon hammered his palm with his fist excitedly.

   "That's right! It's the same for the general-purpose solution!"
