Chapter 141 Tips
"Books on ancient magic texts?" Mrs. Pince took the note and read the contents softly, then looked at Albert with suspicion. "Professor Brod recently borrowed a large number of books related to ancient magic texts from the library. Books related to ancient magic texts."
"Yes, Professor Broad is conducting research in this area." Albert nodded.
Mrs. Pince held up the note and held it up to the light to check whether it was forged. Of course, it passed the test successfully.
"There are not many books on ancient magic texts in the forbidden book area. Which one are you going to borrow?" Mrs. Pince put away the note and asked.
"I'm not sure yet. I need to read it before I know which one I need." Albert wasn't quite sure what he needed, but he knew that he had accomplished one of the tasks of "Magic Forbidden Zone".
"Professor Brod asked you to borrow books?" Isobel walked towards this side and asked with a slight frown. Most of the time, she was the one who came to borrow books for Professor Brod.
"No, I'm looking for some information." Albert didn't hide anything, his eyes fell on the few books in Isobel's hand, and he frowned slightly, "I feel that I am still a little behind in ancient magic texts. Something, so I hope I can find the answer in the forbidden book area."
"Follow me, Mr. Anderson. However, I have to remind you that most of the books related to ancient magic texts in the forbidden book area have been borrowed by Miss Isobel." Mrs. Pince reminded her. She also heard that Albert and Isobel knew each other, and that both of them were helping Professor Broad.
When Albert was taken to a corner of the forbidden book area by Mrs. Pince, he found that there were really only a few books related to ancient magic texts left here.
"Can I take a look over here?" Albert asked Mrs. Pince.
“Yes, but don’t stay too long and don’t touch other books,” Mrs. Pince warned. “I’ll keep an eye on you.”
Albert also didn't care about Mrs. Pince's warning. He was going to look through the remaining books to find some records that he might use, but it had to be said that these ancient books did have an annoying side and were complicated. , cumbersome, and not easy to understand. According to current understanding, many things are described in a very confusing way.
Albert flipped through several books in a row, and felt that the only one that might help him was a book describing the use of ancient spells. Those spells all used ancient magic scripts, and they also came with introductions. Some were black magic, and some were not. .
But what the hell, if you weren’t good at ancient magic texts, you wouldn’t even be able to understand what’s written in the book.
This is an only copy, and it looks dirty, as if it is about to become moldy.
In fact, the books in the restricted area all look like this.
Albert had no intention of borrowing the book, but simply copied the spells he found useful onto the parchment intact. Perhaps, he should ask Mr. McDougal instead of trying it rashly himself, which is obviously not a rational choice.
I don’t know how long it took, but Albert gradually recorded more and more content on the parchment, but he still didn’t find what he wanted.
"You don't seem to have found what you need?" Isobel sat next to Albert at some point and said aloud when he closed the book. The girl's eyes fell on Albert's parchment, her eyes shining with an unusual light.
"No." Albert knew it was not that simple, unless he wanted to use the skill panel, but if he did so, he would feel that he would lose the fun of exploring magic.
"What are you looking for?" Isobel was actually curious about what Albert was looking for. In her opinion, Albert was already very advanced in ancient magic texts.
Rune writing is a kind of magical writing. Its essence may be a kind of incantation. Use it to cast spells, record magic, or carve it on natural materials such as stones and wood to give them unparalleled powers. Magical power.
"Are you looking for how to use ancient magic words?" Isobel already understood what Albert was looking for, although it seemed to her that it was quite absurd. If runes were really magical words, why were there almost no such words? Has anyone mentioned anything related to this?
Isobel fell into a brief silence and asked, "Can you lend it to me for a look?"
“Here.” Albert took off the wooden bracelet and handed it to Isobel.
After observing it carefully, the latter asked softly, "What spell did you put on it?"
“Iron Armor Curse.”
"You want to use runes to enhance the effect of the iron armor curse?" Isobel frowned, carefully identifying the runes on the wooden bracelet, and found that she couldn't read it.
“Did you design it yourself?” she asked curiously.
"Well." Albert said, "As you can see, these runes can only be regarded as a kind of decoration."
“It looks very complicated.” Isobel returned the wooden bracelet to Albert, “What do you think you are missing?”
“Mr. McDougal said that if you want to master the power of ancient runes, you need to be proficient in using runes. Secondly, you need to have strong magical power as a foundation, and then you need to be proficient in using ancient spells.”
"You are already satisfied with using runes skillfully." Isobel thought for a moment and said, "But your age will mean that your magical power still needs time to grow, and it is difficult to use ancient magic spells skillfully."
"I feel the same way, but it's not too bad after all." Albert pointed to the parchment, "I found some spells that use ancient magic words to cast spells, but without exception they may be very powerful and rough. "
“What do you think is lacking?” Isobel wanted to hear Albert’s personal opinion. After all, the other person was also a genius and it was impossible for him to have no ideas of his own.
“Spells, or ways to channel the power of runes.” Albert said honestly, “But I still haven’t found a suitable method.”
“Perhaps, there is a book that may be suitable for you.” Isobel pointed to the book brought back.
“The Complete Solution to Magic.” Albert glanced at the title of the book and raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, The Complete Solution to Magic. It is said to be a book that introduces wizards’ understanding of magic in ancient times. Unfortunately, it is all recorded in runes and I cannot understand it.”
This book was given by Uncle MacDoug after Isobel returned to Professor Broad's office. She felt that this was a reminder to Albert.
But, Isobel didn’t understand either. Why was Uncle McDoug going around to give Albert a hint? Wouldn't it be better to tell Albert directly?
“It’s very strange.” Albert turned over a few pages and nodded, “I feel like it might be useful to me, thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Isobel said, “If you have gained anything, please share it with me.”
“Okay.” Albert said, he put the parchment into his pocket, took the book and walked out of the restricted book area with Isobel.
"Isobel?" Katrina, who was registering book borrowing information, looked at her sister walking out of the restricted book area in surprise. Her eyes fell on Albert again, and she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Professor Brod asked Are you here to borrow books?"
Katrina knew something about McDougal, and she also knew that Isobel had been helping Professor Brod borrow books from the library. To be honest, Katrina envied these two lucky guys, knowing that Uncle McDougal had always been very generous.
