HP's Platinum Temptation

Clarence pulled out a light gold necklace from his collar. The regular square pendant and necklace were connected with a snap clasp.

Daphne watched in astonishment as the untwisted necklace rapidly swelled in Clarence's hands, turning into a thick parchment book.

"What is this?" Daphne stretched out her hand and touched the book in Clarence's hand, which seemed to be full of vicissitudes of history: "It really feels like a book! Just now, the pendant looked more like metal."

"Well, it's a book, but it can be deformed and shrunk. But it seems to be its own function, not under my control."

"What are you going to do with this? Does this magic item have time magic?"

"Well, it has a similar function." Clarence spread out the book, and the left hand supporting the Book of Time could feel the magic power flowing from the palm of his hand and being actively absorbed.With the input of magic power, the cover of the Book of Time opens to the left by itself. 25 characters emerge on the title page.

Quickly retrieved his memory, then flipped through the 23 pages with his right hand, and started to read carefully.

"What are you flipping through? Is there any writing on this parchment?" Daphne, who was standing beside her and could only see a blank space, was very puzzled.

Clarence had no time to answer Daphne's question at this time, the text used in the Book of Time was very obscure.Not only does each character represent a long syllable, but the characters that fill the pages of the book are not broken.Even blank spaces, which are not uncommon, are not pauses.

What Clarence needs to do is to judge a certain sentence and recite the correct pronunciation.At the same time, you must clarify your own wishes and the original meaning of the sentence in your heart at the same time.

If one of the above conditions is missing, no effect will be produced.Moreover, with Clarence's current magic power, it is not enough to support other functions of the Book of Time for too long.

It was observed that Clarence's eyebrows were tense and his eyes were focused.Daphne couldn't help holding her breath either.She even took a step back, for fear of disturbing the other party's movements.

The incomprehensible chant seemed to carry an ancient and heavy atmosphere.When Clarence spit out the last note slowly.Two clusters of faint light floated on the pages of the book, one black and one white.

The two light clusters are bright and dark, just like human breathing. In the process of rising, with the echo of the light, they gradually move closer and merge into a gray circle of light.After a slight pause, the aperture stretched out with the rhythm of breathing.

In the process of spreading outward, the gray light continued to weaken, until it gradually disappeared after extending a distance of about five meters.

In the place where the aperture sweeps, a few objects seem to automatically generate a kind of suction, attracting the gray light to themselves, forming a dim film of light.

"What kind of magic is this? It's amazing! I can't understand your spell at all." Daphne exclaimed, "You know so many things."

"It's not that exaggerated. I learned it specially to use this parchment, and the spells I can use, including the one just now, are only two or three." Clarence shook his head subconsciously, and closed the spell in his hand. parchment.The latter immediately shrunk and returned to the shape of the necklace, and Clarence put it back on the necklace: "Because only I can see the contents of this parchment, and there must be magic input to have the contents. Appeared. So it took me almost a year to figure out that the above language is actually ancient runes. But even though I know what language it is, it is still very difficult to learn.”

"Ancient runes? I heard my father said this. Our spells seem to come from this language, right? This is a very ancient Nordic language, which contains very powerful magic power. It is best at the fields of soul and time. But because it is too difficult, in the process of inheritance, it is gradually replaced by the use of simple modern spells. We can't take this course until the third grade, right? You have already mastered a few spells, it's amazing , How did you do it? What did you do with the spell just now?" Daphne turned into a problem girl, and she asked a series of questions.

"The spell just now, as I understand it, means to mark the time. Now I see that the items that are stained with light are items that have been made for a long time. It should be that the brighter the light, the longer the time. But the effect of this spell will not last long. Here you are, this is a magic pocket, let’s pack up the shiny things and study them in another place.” Clarence checked the number of shiny items with his eyes: “The question about runes is too complicated to explain Alright, talk about it later."

During the first expedition to the Room of Requirement, Clarence harvested two pockets of 'antiques' and a little partner who volunteered to study and teach himself ancient runes.

Daphne has a strong thirst for knowledge about everything she doesn't understand.And the more difficult things are, the more challenging they are*.

Every letter of ancient runes contains powerful magic power, but this is based on the premise that magic power is also instilled in the process of imprinting.Even Clarence's ancient runes are not at an entry-level level, so it is naturally impossible.The only thing he can do is to write down the shapes he sees.But there is no magic involved in writing down the alphabet, which is almost indistinguishable from the 26 letters of the English language.It is equivalent to losing most of the information.This is too little help in deciphering ancient sayings.

Among the 'antiques' they found, they were very lucky to have two ornaments with ancient runes engraved on them.Daphne snatched one to research without hesitation.

For the deciphering of ancient runes, Clarence is not as enthusiastic as Daphne.The main reason is that he has been stuck at the current progress for a long time.Except for the roster of wizards at the very front of the parchment, the pages at the back are almost completely blank.In addition to the magic of marking time, another life-searching magic mastered by Clarence is on page No.20.

But this harvest gave Clarence a revelation.If magic runes can be successfully engraved on ordinary magic props, it may produce different effects.Elf craftsmen are very interested in this proposal, but their comprehension of runes is still at a very primitive level.This idea can only stay at the initial level.

Clarence's magical item engraved with runes was given to the goblins for research, but because there were too few samples for research.The goblins suggest that more results might be possible with more study samples, or with a more detailed explanation of the meaning of the runes.

When Clarence was hesitating whether to start his research on ancient runes again, Daphne took the initiative to find him with a stack of books in his arms: "These are some elementary books about runes that I found in the library. Book. I probably read it once, and they are all in detail. I think if we use these materials to conduct research, we are most likely to get help."

"Runes are not such a simple thing, otherwise, it would not be a subject of many people's research until now. And this is a course that only third-year students can start learning. Under the leadership of the teacher, not many people can learn it. Really use the ancient spell." Clarence shook his head: "I'm not unwilling to do this, but we also have to consider the actual efficiency."

"I've thought about this too." Daphne put down her book, leaned over the table, leaned into Clarence's ear, and whispered, "I've asked Theodore and several other senior members. Their studies Basically stop at learning more about the meaning of runes based on incomplete spells and known runes. But don't you have a spell ready? We can just study that spell. Crack a spell The meaning of the spell should be simpler than backtracking and completing a spell, right?"

Clarence was stunned, his eyes widened. After a while, he raised one corner of his mouth slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Great idea, maybe we can still seek help."

"Help? Are you looking for a teacher?" Daphne frowned, and said worriedly: "Although I don't care. But if you want to find a teacher, don't you have to tell the teacher this spell? Can you get Is it really okay to cast a spell that even the teacher doesn't know? I remember my mother reminded me that there are some secrets that you can't tell if you know it, and it might be very troublesome."

"Your parents really care about you. I don't know how many times I've heard you mention the wisdom of your parents. Sure enough, every student who graduated from Ravenclaw College hides the truth Ah." Clarence was not stingy with his praise: "I really hope to have the opportunity to visit Mr. and Mrs. Virgil."

"Of course!" Daphne's tone immediately became proud and high-spirited: "My parents are the most knowledgeable parents! If it's summer vacation, I think they might agree with me inviting you to my house to play. At that time, you can invite Jie Foley, Cindy, and Theodore will go with you."

"Well, I'll be waiting for your good news during the summer vacation." Clarence nodded with a smile: "But the person I asked for help just now is not the professor of ancient runes."

"Then who else?" Daphne asked curiously.

"Do you still remember what our activity room used to be?" Clarence guided patiently.

"Ah!" Daphne exclaimed, covering her mouth reflexively with her little hand: "Runive! Are you referring to Mr. Abelson?"

"Correct answer! It's a pity that Ravenclaw can't add ten points for this." Clarence nodded in relief.Sure enough, children with high IQ have high comprehension.

"That's not right either. Mr. Abelson was not a professor of ancient runes before."

"No, he really isn't. But I think you remember, what subject did he say his favorite professor taught? And, we don't always feel that Mr. Phantom is hiding something about this Is it the secret of the classroom?"

"But he doesn't like to talk about it very much. Will he tell us anything?"

"It's okay, if he doesn't want to, we can exchange what he wants!"
