Chapter 196 Similar prophecies
Albert noticed the change in the expression on Isobel's face, and suddenly felt like laughing.
After all, he knew some details about Professor Trelawney, who predicted the death of one of her students every year.
It is actually not a strange thing to predict someone's bad luck. After all, it is considered one's job.
The divination performed by Professor Trelawney, who has not entered a special divination state, can be treated as entertainment and there is no need to take it seriously.
At this moment, Professor Trelawney had returned to her seat, fetched a book from somewhere, and began to explain to the three people the use of ancient magic texts in divination and how to analyze the results of prophecies. Professor Babuling sometimes raised some questions and sometimes made some additions.
Contrary to Isobel, Albert listened with great interest, and he was thinking about how to get himself a rune stone divination skill.
Professor Trelawney's divination may not be reliable, but her panel skills are very reliable.
Divination ability is actually a skill that Albert wants, but what he wants to learn is crystal ball divination. As for the runestone divination that he is now exposed to, it is purely accidental. If he can learn it, it will naturally be good.
After all, no one would dislike having too many skills.
There are actually many types of rune stones for divination, such as one, three, five, six, and seven. Professor Trelawney was very interested in explaining to them the interpretation methods of all runes.
Isobel was obviously a little impatient, but she still listened patiently to Trelawney's words, while Albert was wandering around, checking whether there were any ancient runestone divination in the skill panel.
During this period, Professor Trelawney performed two more fortune-tellings on them, seemingly to prove her identity as a diviner.
However, Albert’s predictions were all about future fortune. However, it turns out that his future fortune will be very good.
After all, once may be an accident, twice may be an accident, but three times, the probability of an accident will be much smaller?
Could it be that Professor Trelawney is actually some kind of hidden boss?
Contrary to Albert, Isobel is simply a negative example. All prophecies warn him that there will be danger in the near future and he must make a choice.
In the last divination, Ward (i.e., the void symbol) actually appeared.
"You will encounter difficulties that cannot be changed by human beings. It may come suddenly, leaving you unable to control it." Professor Trelawney was actually taken aback by herself. She also knew how good her divination level was. Yeah, I didn’t expect to meet two people who had similar fortune tellings three times in a row.
Although Professor Trelawney was surprised, she pretended to have such an expression to make herself look inscrutable.
"There is no doubt that you will encounter trouble." Trelawney concluded: "And it may be your choice. I am sorry that you did not choose my divination class. You are still very talented in this area. "
Albert wanted to laugh after hearing this. What did Isobel say just now?
“I have no talent for this.”
Isobel obviously noticed the expression on Albert's face, turned her head and ignored him.
"I would be very happy if you could choose my class." Trelawney and Professor Barbling chatted together for a few more words before preparing to leave. "This is my meeting gift to you."
With that said, Professor Trelawney gave Albert the bag of rune stones, the cloth for setting up the formation, and the book "Rune Stone Divination". She whispered: "I wish you good luck, oh , you’re lucky enough, aren’t you?”
Albert was a little confused. He never thought that Professor Trelawney would give these things to him. What does this mean? Do you think you really have a talent for divination?
However, Albert scanned the skill panel again and still couldn't find the skill of runestone divination.
“Congratulations, Anderson.” Isobel teased after Professor Trelawney left.
"Thank you. If I really have the talent for divination, I will set up a stall to provide divination for people." Albert joked without changing his expression, "I guess your trouble is fine."
It’s actually three times in a row, which may not be true, but it’s really annoying.
Albert opened the book "Runestone Divination", his face twitched slightly, he handed it to Isobel and said: "Divination still depends on talent."
The words Trelawney said were clearly used directly from above.
Albert was not surprised, and showed an expression that was indeed true.
"The prophecy is actually quite interesting." Albert silently took out a rune stone from his bag and fell into silence immediately.
"Reverse EIHWAZ" Albert glanced at the rune stone in his hand. What did he want to test just now?
“Will there be any danger this semester?”
"This is a clear warning, warning you to be careful... This is not a good sign." He remembered Professor Trelawney's words.
Is this going to be dangerous?
Or was the rune stone not stirred evenly?
“What’s wrong with you?” Isobel asked.
“Why do you think you are in danger?” Isobel asked.
“After all, a lot of things happened last semester.” Albert said.
The three of them chatted for a while, and each expressed his or her own views on runestone divination. Very few people can truly predict the future...
As for what happened next, no one said anything, but everyone obviously understood what the other person meant.
“Okay, that’s it for today.” Professor Babling said to the two of them.
The two of them stood up one after another and were about to say goodbye and leave. Suddenly, Professor Babling stopped Albert.
“Mr. Anderson, I have something to ask you.”
Isobel looked at Albert suspiciously, got up and left.
“Professor Babling, what’s the matter?” Albert asked.
"I am going to publish a book, a book related to ancient magic texts. I have already chosen the name, and it is called "Advanced Magic Texts Translation"." Professor Babling suddenly said.
Albert couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and understood what Professor Babling meant.
The other party wants to help her complete the book together?
“You want me to help you finish this book?” Albert asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Professor Babling said, "I hope you can join in the compilation and revision of this book."
Albert opened his mouth but said nothing, quietly listening to Professor Babling finish what he said.
"I hope it can become an important reference book when studying ancient runes." Professor Babling looked helpless. "Previously, I originally planned to use Mr. McDougal's "Comprehensive Solution to Basic Runes" as a reference. book, but I found that this book is still too difficult for everyone, so I hope..."
Actually, Albert also knew that the study of ancient magic texts was not about magic, but more about literature. The Ancient Runes class at Hogwarts teaches understanding and translating ancient runes.
After graduation, they usually work in areas with ancient magical ruins, a bit like Muggle archaeologists.
If you want to study magic, the starting point is too high, above the NEWT level.
Mr. McDougal's "Comprehensive Solution to Basic Magic Texts" will be extremely difficult for even wizards like them who are good at ancient magic texts, let alone others.
"Okay, I'll try my best. I'm really good at magic text translation." Albert nodded in agreement. Although Professor Babling gave it a high-level name, anyone with a discerning eye will know after reading it. what.
"That's great." Professor Babling was very happy. She asked Albert for help. Of course, she knew how powerful Albert was in magic text translation.
As she spoke, she waved her wand, conjured a paper bag out of thin air, and handed it to Albert.
"When Mr. McDoug published "Advanced Magic Text Research", I was already thinking about this book." Professor Babling said softly, "Later, I revised part of it."
"That..." Albert considered his words and said, "Actually, I think...it's pretty good."
"I won't let your help go in vain. I will give you half of the money earned from this book and write your name on it." Professor Babling said.
"There is no need for the name. As for Galleons..." Albert had some doubts about how many copies this thing could sell, but he didn't say more.
After a moment of silence, Albert spoke again, "I hope to borrow books related to ancient magic texts from the restricted book section of the library."
“No problem.” Professor Babling nodded and began to look for parchment and quills.
When leaving the ancient magic text classroom, Albert was holding a folder with a complicated expression. In his pocket, he had Professor Babling's signature from the restricted book area, which was really a pleasant thing.
“In this case, it will be second place.” He murmured.
“What’s the second place?” A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Albert looked for his voice and found Isobel standing not far away, staring at him.
“You haven’t left yet?” Albert looked at the other party in surprise.
“I have something to ask you.” Isobel said.
“Something about divination?”
"No. It's a bet between you and Katrina." Isobel said.
“You want me to admit defeat?”
"I don't know what you want to do, I don't know why you want to do this, but I hope you will make this bet secretly and not let too many people know." Isobel said, "On the first Quiz of this year When the Dizzy game starts, I will go and be your witness.”
“Okay, I have no objection.”
