Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 49: Phoenician characters
"Is there any other defensive magic on this high tower?" Maca couldn't help but think to himself.
But obviously, the next moment he found out that he had guessed wrong.
When the group of fire dragons approached the tower again, they started to dive head-to-head here. Hundreds of slender red light beams suddenly appeared under the tower. They looked quite dense, and they lased neatly at the fire dragons in mid-air in the form of a parabola, drawing red arcs in the air. line.
For a while, the fire dragons panicked and began to evade, but the number of magical beams was too much, and the density was extraordinary, and they couldn't avoid it. The dozen or so fire dragons fell one by one like dumplings, and smashed into the woods on the island.
After a short while, they flew up again, glanced at the red halo around the tower again, and left dingy.
Maca hurriedly poked her head out and looked down the tower, and immediately saw the little figures on the ground.
"Elves?" Maca was really taken aback this time, "It is hard to imagine how grand the scenes of the ancient wizards when they conquered these elves... I remember it was mentioned in some ancient books that there were not many elves at that time. Less!"
For those blessed intelligent magical creatures, using their talents is almost as simple as eating. It is no wonder that every war initiated by those intelligent magical creatures will cause a great turmoil in the magical world.
" Not to mention the current state of the house elves. The ancient wizards were able to completely conquer this creature. That kind of magical power is really desirable! Compared to these curses that are more biased towards life, The gap is really..."
Maca looked at the cheering elves below, but a desire for powerful ancient magic rose in his heart.
He didn't do anything else, he just wanted to see with his own eyes what is the mystery of those ancient magics-this is completely the mentality of a theoretical researcher.
I have to say that after Maca obtained the scroll of truth, his desire to explore magic theory is rapidly rising. Although he was originally interested in magic, this growing desire was faintly abnormal.
However, this anomaly is not obvious, even with Maca's alertness, it was not noticed at all.
After repelling the incoming fire dragon, the elves crackled and apparated, and they all left. Maca turned around, looked at the cup of black tea on the table, thought about it, and took a sip.
The tea is warm, and the taste is quite good. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much research on black tea. Quan is used to quench thirst, so he drank it in a while.
"Would you like to taste it? It tastes good." Maca turned around and looked at Wei Li, who was still standing by the window.
After a short break, Maca saw that the group of elves didn't intend to come back again, so he decided to continue searching for other rooms.
It’s just that, otherwise Muggle wizards always complain that most of the wizard’s buildings are unreasonable!
There are surprisingly many rooms on the third floor, and most of them are used as laboratories. Except for a large number of bottles and cans, there is almost nothing useful. Even the medicine bottles on the closet are mostly empty, but they are neatly arranged there.
Some rooms are surprisingly empty. It seems that magic such as the Unmarked Stretching Curse has been cast in them, and there is nothing in the room, which looks empty and a little strange.
can be on the third floor, and there is a room that is especially different.
This seems to be just a very ordinary small restaurant, but as soon as Maca entered it, he immediately discovered the special feature-this is a room where a strange spell has been cast.
Although he and Willie can walk around at will, nothing can be touched by them. Reaching out the hand, it will only pass through the place that should be the entity, as if everything here is just an illusion. This makes Maca have to think about what it means.
"It seems that it is here," Maca thought to himself, "It's just, what's the secret hidden here?"
He and Willie wandered around here for two laps, but they didn't get any results. Even if he sees something valuable, what's the use if he can't touch it?
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Maca felt something was wrong.
The surrounding space...No, the surrounding objects are changing! Whether it's the dining table, chairs, the surrounding closets, or even the blank portraits hanging on the wall, they are gradually becoming distorted. The distortion is not large, but everything has been slightly deformed.
Seeing this abnormality, Maca couldn't help frowning. When he was about to take out his wand and test it out, the surroundings changed again!
The movement this time is not small.
I saw all around, centered on Maca and Vili, and suddenly a lot of text symbols appeared! They appeared out of nowhere in the space of this restaurant, exuding a faint golden fluorescence, and kept slowly rotating around them.
If you ignore the current situation, this scene looks very beautiful.
What can surprise Maca is that, unlike the regular runes on the scroll of truth, he has basically seen those symbols.
just before, in order to analyze the regular runes on the scroll of truth, he almost searched through various ancient dictionary books. Some are magic texts widely circulated in the magic world, and some are non-magic texts obtained from archeology in the Muggle world.
Nowadays, he can even tell from the surrounding characters, which are the hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt and which are the cuneiform writing from Sumer...
The closest to him is undoubtedly the 22 Phoenician characters floating in front of him.
They are a kind of symbolic writing recorded in the Muggle world, and according to legend they are the origin of the European alphabet. According to research by Muggle archaeologists, they were created by Phoenician merchants in 1000 BC.
"What does this mean?" Maca looked around, but lost his mind for a moment.
But even if he had no clue, he gradually understood that this might be another puzzle left by Rowena. Bronze Kitty once said that this was for him to come and fetch something, and the breakthrough was clearly in front of his eyes.
A little bit of time passed, and Maca changed from standing to sitting, with more notebooks and quill pens in his hands. He seems to be fascinated by writing and drawing on paper. Obviously, he has entered a state of research.
Villy on the side of looked very calm.
Although she was also attracted by those wonderful symbols for a while, she soon turned her attention to Maca. She sat quietly on the floor beside her, looking at Maca in a daze.
No one knows what she is thinking, maybe she is thinking nothing, just sitting in a daze.
In this dreamlike space, time seems to have no meaning for existence. For a time, it was surprisingly quiet here, and only Maca's occasional rustling writing proved that there are still living people here.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the whole afternoon passed quietly. In the gradually dimming room, there were gradually only a lot of symbols still drifting slowly in mid-air, exuding a faint brilliance.
Soon, Maca stopped the movements of his hands. He took out a bottle of condensed sand and shook it. A soft white light burst out of the bottle, illuminating the whole room like daylight.
This is an improved version of the shimmer sand he used in the Daren Liu tunnel. Although it is still only a slightly prepared material, the brightness and durability have been greatly increased. It’s just that the additional materials for this thing are a bit expensive, so stingy like Maca is not willing to use more, after all, the number of uses is limited.
He put aside the bottle with condensed sand, then turned around and took some food out of the suitcase, and handed it to Willie next to him.
"Here, are you hungry?" Maca smiled and said, "Sorry, I easily forget the time when I start the research. If you are sleepy, I have a sleeping bag here."
Villi took the food and looked at it. They were some cakes bought in Italy, which looked very delicate. She peeled the package without saying a word, and took a small bite.
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk, Maca had to take out the sleeping bag first~IndoMTL.com~ and laid her flat on the floor.
Vellie finished the cake in her hand, shook her head slightly and rejected the second one that Maca handed over, then moved her **** and sat on the sleeping bag, as if she was going to stay in a daze.
"Don't you do something else?" Maca asked, "You can continue to read the medicinal notes I gave you."
Villi nodded slightly, but did not move.
"What's wrong?" Maca curiously asked.
"Mom said that I need to rest after the meal." Wei Li said calmly.
Maca glanced at her with a subtle expression, and sighed that she was simply worrying.
He put the cake in his hand into his mouth in twos or twos, then clapped his hands, and then returned his attention to his notebook again.
As the research continued to deepen, he finally found a clue in the sequence of the surrounding symbols. He discovered that the 22 Phoenician characters closest to him had various connections with other ancient characters around them. However, if further consideration is given, the connection becomes paradoxical.
"According to Muggle textual research, Phoenician characters originally evolved from hieroglyphics and cuneiform writing. It is a matter of course that there are connections. But..."
"Could it be that these 22 Phoenician characters are not the original version?" Maca frowned, and the gear called thinking was spinning in his mind. "Since this is Roina The puzzle left by the holder of the scroll of truth, that means..."
Macka paused, then patted his head as if suddenly realized, and then raised the quill again.
He contrasted the various characters in front of him, and began to try to compare and restore the 22 Phoenician characters in front of him according to his own understanding.
