Chapter 215: The same is true for General Counter-spell

Chapter 215: The same is true for General Counter-spell

But Jon did not have a fetish for digging into other people's privacy.

He was not interested in what oath Sir Stoker had made, only interested in this suspected stone slab left by Voldemort.

Jon squatted down and looked at the dense ancient runes to figure it out carefully.

In fact, the majority of the magical world's runes are known as Ancient Runes.

In Hogwarts Castle under Voldemort's control today, there is still a "Study of Ancient Runes" elective subject available in senior classes of pureblood and half-blood houses.

The script on this slab is obviously Ancient Runes, and Ancient Runes is just like the majority of old scripts, also divided into common characters and rare characters, and there are many rare characters, which even experts specializing in this field may not be able to fully recover and decipher in their lifetime.

Because these characters are magical when they are created, and back in ancient times, especially when wands were yet to be invented, magic runes were an important aid to ancient spell casting.

Many talented wizards kept inventing new magic runes, but there were no magic schools created at that time, and the transmission of magic was still maintained in the oldest master-apprentice system, so, many magic runes were buried in the background of such times.

In fact, there are archaeologists in the magical world who visit the relics or graveyards of wizards around the world, not for substantial wealth, but for the knowledge belonging to the ancient wizards. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Jon stared at the slab for a long while, but in these dense, almost a few thousand ancient rune characters, he only recognized a handful of characters that looked familiar, and there was no way to put together a complete sentence.

Without being able to find clues from the meaning, he took out his wand and gently tapped the tip of it against the slab.

Then, the ancient runes all lit up with a faint shimmer, as if Jon had triggered something.

"All of these ancient runes still possess magic power on them."

He said in surprise.

Sir Stoker said with a serious face.

"The reason for the constant uneasiness in my heart is also this, even if I don't understand it, I have some rough understanding of ancient runes and know that the runes left in the magical world nowadays are basically just characters themselves, and the magic power that was originally attached to them has all been worn away with the passage of time. Nowadays, there are very few wizards who can still write ancient runes with magic power, except for the professors who specialize in teaching such courses in magic schools, there are not even a few to be found in the entire European magical world."

Jon's eyes, however, glowed a little as he stared intently at those runes on the slate.

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

"Can you decipher any information based on this sentence?"

Nick, who apparently really knew a lot of ancient runes, said conclusively after just one look.

"I've seen this opening before, it must be ancient runes about sealing magic spells, usually ancient wizards would use this kind of magic rune to seal something valuable."

Jon's eyes glowed.

"Then do you know how to break this kind of magic rune?"

"This kind of magic rune is actually similar to the Locking Spell and the Unlocking Spell of the current modern-day spells." Nick explained, "A lock that has been enchanted with a locking spell generally cannot be opened by an unlocking spell, but if the magic power of the caster is strong enough, then this locking spell can be easily broken, even without the unlocking spell, a General Counter-spell is enough to do the same."

"But now few people can still be able to write the unlocking spell which can reverse these magic runes, moreover you said that there are as many as thousands of characters in that stone slab, so the magic power attached to it must be extremely powerful, which is even more difficult."

Listening to Nick's words, Jon not only didn't frown, he instead got a mental jolt.

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

Nick froze.

"I said this isn't easy to crack."

"No, I meant the end of the last sentence!"

"Uh, a General Counter-spell is enough to do the same?"

Jon hammered his palm with his fist in excitement.

"Yes! A General Counter-spell is enough to do the same!"
