214. The same is true for universal curse removal.
But Jon doesn't have a penchant for studying other people's privacy.
He was not interested in what oath Sir Stoker had sworn, he was only interested in the stone tablet that was suspected to be left by Voldemort.
Jon crouched down and looked at the densely packed ancient magic texts and studied them carefully.
In fact, most of the ancient magic texts in the magic world refer to runes.
In Hogwarts Castle, which is now under Voldemort's control, "Ancient Runes" is now offered as an elective course for high-level pure-blood mixed-blood colleges.
The writing on this stone tablet is obviously also in runes, but runes, like most writings, are also divided into rare characters and common characters, and there are so many rare characters that many experts who specialize in this field have spent their entire lives trying to write them.
Not all can be found.
Because these words were magical when they were created, and in ancient times, especially in ancient times when the magic wand had not yet been invented, magic words were an important auxiliary for ancient spellcasting.
There were many talented wizards who would constantly invent new magic texts. There were no magic schools at that time, and the inheritance of magic still maintained the oldest master-apprentice system. Many magic texts were created under this background.
buried.
So in fact, there are archaeologists in the magic world. They visit wizard ruins or cemeteries all over the world, not for actual wealth, but for the knowledge of 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, but these words could not be pieced together into a complete sentence.
Unable to find any clues about the meaning, he took out his wand and lightly tapped the stone slab with the tip of the wand.
Then, all the magic texts lit up with a faint light, as if Jon had triggered something.
"These magic texts are all filled with magical power."
he said in surprise.
Sir Stoker said with a serious face.
"This is the key to my uneasiness. Even if I don't know them, I have some superficial understanding of ancient magic texts. I know that the magic texts left in the magic world are basically just the words themselves, and the magic power originally attached to them.
, all of them have been worn away with the passage of time. Today, there are very few wizards who can write magical ancient magic texts. Except for professors who specialize in teaching such courses in magic schools, there are few in the entire European magic world.
indivual."
Jon's eyes were a little bright, and he stared closely at the magic words on the stone slab.
"Not to mention being able to write so much."
"Yes, the person who left this tablet must have had a deep study in the field of magic text. Such a character will not be unknown in the magic world, so why did he come to me and leave this?" Sir Stoker
His tone was full of confusion.
But this adds more evidence to Jon's guess. There are so many people who can write magic words. Not to mention the European magic world, the wizards in the entire Western world can be counted on one hand.
Voldemort is obviously a person of this level.
This slate is most likely what he left behind!
Jon does not have such a deep knowledge of magic, but there are many magic books about runes hidden in the library on the Hogwarts carriage, and they are still in the cabin of the Hogwarts.
He can definitely learn and sell it now. After all, he is not asked to write out the ancient magic texts, but to identify them. This may take some effort depending on the rich information, but it is not impossible.
"When I came out of school, I also brought some information about ancient magic texts on the boat. If you are willing to wait patiently, Sir, I can bring the information over and study it slowly."
Hearing Jon's words, Sir Stoker's face showed joy.
"Of course I have enough patience, Professor Johnson. Don't worry, if you can help me answer the secrets on this stone slab, I will reward you with a generous reward."
"There is no need for any reward. If I can solve these magic words, it will be considered as some reward for bothering you here these days."
Jon didn't mean what he said, and then he stopped staying and turned around to leave with Sir Stoker.
When they went down to the 17th floor, they met Neville and the others who had just come out from the pasture to observe the living conditions of the cows. Jon called Neville, Ron and Lee, and returned to Hogwart with them.
On board the Ci.
When sending them away from the tower, Sir Stoker was obviously curious about the Hogwarts ship on the sea. Jon saw that he wanted to visit, but he did not invite it.
Even if there are sufficient preparations on the ship, during the insurance period, he will not easily bring an outsider on board, even though from the current point of view, Sir Stoker is indeed a good person.
After returning to the ship, Jon immediately summoned Nick and George and told them what he had discovered on the tower.
"Actually, I know a lot of magic texts." Nick said, "During the early days of Hogwarts, magic texts were not so forgotten in the wizarding world. Although I have not written them myself, I know them.
But I can recognize a lot of them."
After hearing Nick's words, Jon pondered for a moment, and finally rejected the idea of letting Nick go to the tower with him.
"You can't hide your identity. It's not a secret that you used to be the resident ghost in Gryffindor. It's not worth the risk for us to risk whether this knight will recognize you. However, although
You can't go to that tower, but I still remember the first few sentences of those runes."
Jon tried, writing the first ancient magic text on the slate on the parchment, and brought it to Nick's eyes.
"Can you tell anything from this sentence?"
Nick obviously knew a lot of runes, he just took a look and said decisively.
"I've seen this beginning. It must be a magic text about sealing magic spells. Generally, ancient wizards would use this magic text to seal something valuable."
Jon's eyes lit up.
"Then do you know how to decipher this magic text?"
"This kind of magic text is actually similar to the blocking spell and the unlocking spell on current spells." Nick explained, "A lock that has been cast with a blocking spell cannot generally be opened by an opening spell, but if the caster's magic power is strong enough,
Then this blocking spell can be easily broken, even if the unlocking spell is not needed, the universal unblocking spell will be the same."
"But now few people can write the unlocking spell that reverses this magic text. Besides, you said that the magic text has thousands of words, and the magic attached to it must be extremely powerful. This makes it even more difficult."
Listening to Nick's words, Jon not only did not frown, but he was shocked.
"What was the last thing you just said? Nick!"
Nick was stunned.
"I said this is not easy to crack..."
"No, I meant the last part of the previous sentence!"
"Uh, the same goes for universal curse removal?"
Jon punched his palm with his fist excitedly.
"Yes! It's the same even with universal curse removal!"
