Professor Broad was a funny old man, and Albert was looking forward to this invitation. Just when he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office opened automatically.
Albert's hand froze in place. He knew that this was Professor Brod's invitation, so he reached out and gently opened the door, walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Professor Broad has prepared cakes and drinks.
Of course, there is also a arranged game of wizard chess.
Wait a moment. Professor Broad sat at his desk, staring at some parchment in front of him, not knowing what he was busy with.
Albert didn't bother the other party, sat quietly on the sofa, got himself a piece of cake, and ate it by himself.
Ten minutes later, Professor Broad finally finished his business, sat down in front of Albert, and said to him with a smile, I heard Professor McGonagall said about you, and she is proud of you.
What about "Today's Transfiguration"? Albert asked a little doubtfully.
Yes. Professor Broad nodded and said: For your age, this is very impressive.
Albert was silent, suddenly not knowing what to say. In fact, he really didn't care much about this issue.
Professor Broad noticed the shock and silence that flashed across Albert's face, and asked doubtfully: You don't seem to care too much?
Um? Albert nodded a little awkwardly. In fact, he wanted to say that for him, that little bit of fame was not as beneficial as Galleons.
Hogwarts students receive no royalties for publishing papers in Transfiguration Today. Of course, the relationship between the two parties has always been mutually beneficial.
Only students who win the Best and Most Potential Newcomer Award will be given symbolic Galleons by "Transfiguration Today". The number of Galleons is not large. More honors come from the title of the Best and Most Potential Newcomer Award.
.
White moved first. Professor Broad was not discussing this topic, but made a gesture of invitation towards Albert.
Albert immediately focused his attention and began to carefully test Professor Broad's strength. He knew his situation very well. The level of wizard chess was only level one, and he was still far away from level two.
This level is fine for ordinary people, but it is far inferior to the international wizard chess champion.
In fact, when facing a head-on attack, Professor Brod deliberately let his guard down. Albert still failed to block the opponent's offensive. He persisted for less than ten minutes and was killed by Professor Brod's knight.
Although he lost the chess game, Albert benefited a lot from playing chess with Professor Brod. After the second game started, Albert slowed down his playing speed to avoid the problems that occurred in the first game.
Due to some small mistakes, the two sides fought for twenty minutes, but were finally checkmateed by the opponent's queen.
Lost again. Albert sighed, is this the standard of an international wizard chess champion? The level of wizard chess competitions must be very high.
No, you are actually wrong. The level of wizards participating in the international wizard chess competition is very average. Professor Brod took a sip of milk tea and explained gently: In fact, there are very few wizards who actually train in this area.
Maybe there is some level, but that's it. In two years, you should be able to reach that level.
Do you mean that all the players participating in the International Wizard Chess Competition are amateurs? Albert was suddenly a little surprised.
In fact, it is said that people begin to reach their peak in many aspects at the age of seventeen. Albert once suspected that this was the reason why he became an adult at seventeen.
Yes, in fact, there has never been a so-called professional or amateur. However, every competition is like this. When you become an adult, you may also participate in the International Wizard Chess Competition. Professor Brod smiled and said: Although the prize money is not much, but
The championship title is pretty good.
Yeah. Albert responded absently. In fact, he didn't really care about whether he was famous or not.
It's famous, and sometimes it works. Professor Brod smiled meaningfully.
Why does his words sound a bit strange?
What were you busy with just now? Albert changed the subject. Of course, if it is inconvenient
Studying ancient magic texts. Professor Brod doesn't mind at all, and Bathida just sorted it out for me. However, I haven't been exposed to these things for a long time, and it's quite laborious to study them now.
Ancient magic texts? Albert raised his eyebrows and said: I heard that it is an elective course for the third grade.
Yes, yes, an elective course for the third grade. Professor Brod nodded repeatedly.
Albert suddenly said: It is said that in that era of the Big Four, this kind of magic script was used to cast spells.
Yes, there is such a saying. Professor Broad looked at Albert, and someone once speculated that the ancient wizards were so powerful, which was inseparable from the ancient magic texts.
It is indeed very powerful, Albert said softly: "The ancient magic of Hogwarts can be maintained for thousands of years. In my opinion, it is a miracle. Although it may be rude to say this, I doubt whether Principal Dumbledore can also do it."
this point.
Haha, Dumbledore. Professor Brod put down the tea cup in his hand. He is recognized by everyone as the most powerful wizard of this century, and he has been sitting as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot for decades!
It is rumored that the mysterious man is afraid of him. Professor Broad continued: Well, you know who the mysterious man is, right?
I know. Albert nodded. I have read about his deeds in the book. It is said that the savior Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord.
This matter was much discussed. At that time, many people thought that the mysterious man would be defeated by Dumbledore, but in the end, Professor Brod realized that the topic should end here. His tone paused, and then he changed the topic again.
Bringing it back: There are many legends about ancient magic words. It is said that they are magical words. Using them to chant spells can enhance the magical power of wizards. Well, Dumbledore can also use them, and he himself is also good at this.
experts.
Professor Albert suddenly said.
What's the matter? Mr. Anderson and Professor Broad raised his head in confusion and asked.
I also learned runes by myself. Albert hesitated for a moment, and then asked, but I couldn't feel the mysterious power of this ancient rune as you said.
You taught yourself. Professor Broad was very surprised.
Yes, Albert said. During this year's Christmas vacation, I taught myself runes and was barely able to understand them, but in fact, they are not as magical as you said.
After all, it's just a legend, Professor Broad said softly, but you really brought me many surprises?
Surprised, Albert frowned slightly.
It’s nothing. Professor Brod smiled and said, in fact, many wizards have learned ancient magic texts, but at their level, they can usually only achieve ordinary understanding and simple application. In fact, there are only a few real experts in this field.
.
Albert was silent.
After a long time he said: No one digs deeper
Digging deeper, Professor Brod shook his head and said, for most people, as long as they can understand this ancient text, it is good. After all, if no one uses it, how can they waste time and energy to dig out its secrets?
Can school
Professor Broad interrupted: Hogwarts School will offer courses on ancient magic texts, just because we don’t want future generations to lose sight of these ancient texts.
