Chapter 108： Magic sentence (1/2)

Holidays are always pleasant to the body and mind.

This is especially true for students.

Although there are annoying vacation assignments to complete, they cannot affect Albert's good mood.

In fact, Albert had already wiped out his unfinished homework as quickly as possible the day before the Christmas holiday.

A holiday without holiday homework is undoubtedly enjoyable.

During the Christmas holidays, I can sleep until late in the morning and lie on the sofa to watch TV after dinner. When you are bored, you can tease the cat, listen to music, chat with Niya, play chess, or sit by the fire and find a book to savor.

However, just after Christmas, Albert found something of interest. After the town’s library was reopened, he went to the library to find relevant records on the runes.

This incident originated from the fact that he bought a copy of ”A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts” a while ago, and it took a lot of effort to finish the book. As a result, the skill panel did not show any skills related to ancient magic texts.

Albert thought that this situation was similar to alchemy, so he decided to read more related books to deepen his knowledge of the runes and master it.

As for, wait until the third grade to take the ancient magic text class?

Albert didn't have the patience to wait for two and a half years. After all, he is a man with a panel. As long as relevant skills appear on the panel, the follow-up questions will become very simple.

There are few records about the runes in the library, but Albert still found relevant records in Germanic mythology:

The Rune alphabet, also known as the Rune alphabet, originated in Germanic mythology and is related to Odin, the famous father of the gods. It is said that Odin exchanged an eye for the knowledge of Runes. (The word rune itself means ”mysterious”)

Odin belongs to the Germanic mythology, and the runes belong to the Germanic language, and when it comes to Germanic people, Albert is the first to think of Germans.

Well, yes, it's a staid German. German evolved from Germanic.

However, there is a problem!

Albert still vaguely remembered that the author of Harry Potter used a lot of Latin when designing the spell. However, Latin and Germanic belong to two different languages.

Albert never considered himself an archaeologist, let alone a language expert. He never wanted to solve these problems that confused his mind. He chose to record his doubts. Perhaps, the more knowledge he has about the alphabet, the doubts will be automatically resolved.

Later, Albert really found the connection between the two in the library: after the runic alphabet disappeared, Germanic also used part of the Latin alphabet.

This explains why the English and German alphabets are classified as Germanic.

After several days of work, Albert understood a little bit, why Hogwarts offered an elective course in ancient magic.

Germanic mythology originated in Scandinavia, which is now Sweden.

According to Albert's search of Germanic languages, the languages ​​of Denmark, Norway, and Iceland near Sweden all evolved from Germanic languages ​​and belonged to North Germanic languages.

Ancient English is derived from Anglo-Saxon Futok, which belongs to the West Germanic language, that is, the Runic alphabet.

Later, as if it was a religious relationship, a large number of Latin letters were introduced. The whole of Europe is heavily influenced by Latin. Albert thought that this might be one of the reasons why the runes disappeared.

However, there is one thing that cannot be denied. Runes are magical, and ancient magical items will be carved with such ancient magical texts to enhance their magical power.

Albert thinks this originated from the Rune Stone, which was famous in the magical world in his previous life.
