Chapter 141: hint

Chapter 141 Prompt

"Books on ancient runes?" Mrs. Pince took the note, read the contents softly, and then looked up and down Albert with suspicious eyes, "Professor Brod has recently borrowed a large number of related books from the library. Books related to ancient runes."

"Yes, Professor Broad is conducting research in this area." Albert nodded.

Mrs. Pince held up the note and tested it against the light to see if it was forged. Of course, it passed the test.

"There are not many books on ancient runes in the restricted area, which one do you plan to borrow?" Mrs. Pince put away the note and asked.

"I'm not sure yet. I need to read it to know which one I need." Albert is not sure what he needs, but he knows that the task of "Magic Forbidden Zone" has been completed.

"Professor Broad asked you to borrow books?" Isobel walked towards this side, frowning slightly and asked, most of the time, she came to help Professor Broad borrow books.

"No, I'm here to find some information." Albert didn't hide anything, his eyes moved down to the few books in Isobel's hands, and he frowned slightly, "I feel that I'm still a little bit behind in ancient runes stuff, so I hope to find the answer in the Restricted Section."

"Come with me, Mr. Anderson. However, I have to remind you that most of the books related to ancient runes in the restricted section were borrowed by Miss Isobel." Mrs. Pince reminded aloud. She could also tell that Albert and Isobel knew each other, and both of them were helping Professor Broad.

When Albert was brought into a corner of the restricted area by Mrs. Pince, he found that there were really few books related to ancient runes left here.

"Can I take a look here?" Albert asked Mrs. Pince.

"Okay, but don't stay too long, and don't touch other books." Mrs. Pince warned, "I will keep watching you."

Albert didn't care about Mrs. Pince's warning either. He was going to look through the rest of the books to find some records that he might use, but it had to be said that these ancient books did have an annoying side, complicated , cumbersome, and not easy to understand, with the current understanding, many things are described very confusingly.

Albert flipped through several books in a row, and felt that the only book that might help him was a book describing the use of ancient spells. Those spells used ancient runes, and there were introductions on them. Some were black magic, and some were not. .

However, it really is hell, if you are not good at ancient runes, you can't even understand what is written in the book.

This is an orphan copy, it looks dirty, it seems to be moldy.

In fact, the books in the Restricted Section look like this.

Albert didn't intend to borrow the book, but just copied the spells he found useful on the parchment intact. Perhaps, he should ask Mr. McDougal instead of trying it himself, which is obviously not a rational choice.

I don't know how long it took, 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 beside Albert at some point, and said aloud when he closed the book. The girl's eyes fell on Albert's parchment, and there was a strange light in her eyes.

"No." Albert knew it wasn't that simple, unless he wanted to use the skill panel, but doing so would make him feel that he would lose the fun of exploring magic.

"What are you looking for?" Isobel was actually very curious about what Albert was looking for. In her opinion, Albert had already attained a very high level in ancient runes.

Runes are words with magical powers. Its essence may be a kind of incantation. Using it to cast spells, record magic, or engrave them on natural materials such as stones and wood blocks can endow them with incomparable magic power.

"Are you looking for how to use ancient runes?" Isobel already understood what Albert was looking for, although it seemed absurd to her. If runes were really magical, why were there almost no Has anyone mentioned anything about it?

"Mr. McDougal should have mastered how to use it." Albert shook the wooden bracelet on his hand, and laughed at himself: "Instead of just using runes as a useless weapon like me. Meaningful ornament."

Isobel fell into a brief silence, and asked, "Can I have a look?"

"Here." Albert took off the wooden bracelet and handed it to Isobel.

After observing carefully, the latter asked softly, "What spell did you cast on it?"

"Iron Armor Curse."

"Do you want to use runes to enhance the effect of the Iron Armor Curse?" Isobel frowned, carefully discerning the runes on the wooden bracelet, and found that he couldn't understand it.

"You designed it yourself?" She asked curiously.

"Well." Albert said, "As you can see, these runes can only be regarded as a 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, followed by having a strong magical power as a foundation, and then you need to be proficient in using ancient spells."

"You are already satisfied with using runes proficiently." Isobel said after thinking for a moment, "But your age will cause your magical power to take time to grow, and it is difficult to use ancient spells proficiently."

"I think so too, but it's not too bad after all." Albert pointed to the parchment, "I found some spells that use ancient runes to cast spells, but they may be powerful and rough without exception. "

"What do you think is still lacking?" Isobel wanted to hear Albert's personal opinion. After all, the other party is also a genius, and it is impossible to have no ideas of his own.

"Spells, or ways to guide the power of runes." Albert said honestly, "But I still haven't found a suitable method."

"Maybe, there is a book that might be suitable for you." Isobel pointed to the book that he brought back.

""The Complete Solution of Magic"." Albert glanced at the title of the book above, raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, the complete explanation of magic. It is said that it is a book that introduces the understanding of magic by wizards in ancient times. Unfortunately, it is all written in runes, so I can't understand it."

After Isobel returned to Professor Brod's office, Uncle McDoug asked him to return this book. She felt that it was a reminder to Albert.

It's just that Isobel doesn't understand. Uncle McDougal wants to go around and give Albert a hint? Wouldn't it be better to tell Albert directly?

"It's very strange." Albert turned a few pages and nodded, "I think it might be useful to me, thank you."

"You're welcome." Isobel said, "If you have something to gain, please be sure to share it with me."

"Okay." Albert said, he put the parchment in his pocket, took the book and walked out of the restricted area with Isobel.

"Isobel?" Katrina, who was registering the borrowing information, looked at her sister who came out of the restricted 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 knows something about McDougal, and also knows that Isobel has been helping Professor Broad borrow books from the library. To be honest, Katrina envied these two lucky guys, because Uncle McDougal was always generous.
