Retirement from Hogwarts

Most people in the class understood what Jack meant immediately after hearing his words.Yes, anyway, even if something goes wrong, the teacher who dug the hole will take the blame. Since he dares to do this, then don't blame us if something goes wrong.

After figuring it out, they suddenly became energetic and began to explore the emerald green forest following the prompts of the newly projected ancient magic text.

After advancing for more than ten minutes in the green forest, the increasingly dense jungle around them began to make the students in the class more and more nervous.Hermione, who was following Jack, looked warily at the woods on both sides of the path and whispered to him in a low voice: "Are you sure this is the path? This is already deep in the Forbidden Forest. We won't be in danger, right? .”

"There shouldn't be any danger here. After all, this route was obviously arranged by our dear Professor of Ancient Magic. And look at the surrounding crowns. Such dense bushes are obviously not a place where large beasts will travel." Jack listened to Hermione. The question was answered with a shrug. [Don’t worry, it’s an illusion anyway, nothing serious will happen. 】

While the two were talking, everyone had already walked out of the dense jungle following the guidance of the beads.A wide forest glade appeared in front of them.The beads in Jack's hand also dimmed after entering this forest glade.

"What does this mean?" "This is the end here?" "What did the teacher want us to do here?" Everyone looked at the dimmed beads in Jack's hand and couldn't help but start talking.

"Look, what is that?" At this moment, the low wooden piles around the clearing attracted people's attention.

"There is one here too." "I have one here too." "There are them everywhere around us."

"There are words on it." Just as everyone dispersed and started looking for new wooden piles around the clearing, the first person who found the wooden pile suddenly called out. "Just outside the stakes."

"It's actually a totem." Jack said word by word as he looked at the patterns and ancient magic words carved on the outside of the wooden pile. "I never expected to see such a thing in the Forbidden Forest."

"Isn't totem magic already lost? Why did it suddenly appear here?" Hermione froze in surprise after hearing Jack's words.Obviously, the reappearance of this powerful magic item that only existed in records had a huge impact on her.

After hearing Hermione's question, Jack began to study these totems carefully.Then he analyzed: "These totems may have been passed down from ancient times. Looking at the diamond wood on which these totems were carved, judging from the degree of decay, they must have been here for at least 3000 years."

"Then why did our professor put them here?" Hermione asked while flipping through the book. "The ancient magic words on it are not even any known magic symbols. I even doubt whether they are really ancient magic words."

"There is no need to argue about whether they are ancient magic runes. The magic power contained in these runes cannot be faked. However, this kind of original magic runes is indeed rare." Jack felt that the strange runes containing huge magic power had to be sacrificed. He discovered the magic weapon that he had repeatedly failed to use - the method of identification by the Lord God.

. "This is a rune that comes from the elemental sea in the deepest part of the dimensional rift. Basically all the magic runes were originally developed by them. If I guessed correctly, there should be eighteen of these around here. totem."

"Eighteen?" Hermione was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then quickly understood what she meant. "You mean these runes represent the eighteen magical attributes?"

"That's right. And I roughly understand the reason why there are these runes here." Jack nodded to confirm her idea and then continued: "This should be a selection process for those who can master these runes." The Grammar Master’s Trial.”

"Rune mage? Is that the kind of magician in legend who masters the essence of magic and can borrow ancient magic words to release magic at will?" Hermione's eyes couldn't help but be filled with longing after hearing the word rune mage.Obviously, the treasured knowledge of the nature of magic has an unparalleled appeal to academics like Hermione.

"Probably, but most rune mages can only master a certain kind of magic represented by the distant magic runes they possess. Compared with other mages, they are a bit more specialized." Jack shrugged and said, obviously he I am not interested in this method of cultivation. "And in fact, these magic runes are not artificially created. They are the symbols given to them by the elemental sea after some powerful wizards in ancient times mastered a certain magic to the extent they wanted."

"You mean these are like computer administrator accounts?" Hermione instantly lost interest in these runes after listening to Jack's words. She obviously didn't like these runes at all, which only had permissions and no knowledge, and they also knew how to use them. A useless rune that limits one's own development.

"Then how do you get these runes?" But the people who heard Jack's explanation obviously didn't think there was anything bad about these runes.

"Put your hands up to accept the test, and those who pass will receive the inheritance of these runes." Jack pointed to the runes behind each pillar and said to the surrounding onlookers.

After getting the trial method from Jack, the people who were originally surrounding them quickly dispersed and started trying the runes one by one.

"Aren't you going to try it?" Just as Jack took Hermione and stood aside to watch the show, the only Hufflepuff student who stayed there asked them.

"Of course not, our dear professor." Jack said, squinting at him. "We still know that there is a price to pay for taking shortcuts."

"Oh, how are you sure that I am the professor?" After hearing Jack's words, the man ignored Jack's implication of his deceptive behavior. Instead, he became more curious and asked how Jack could see his flaws.

"Isn't this obvious? Professor, the fact that you have been secretly deceiving others in the crowd from the very beginning in the classroom that I am actually a professor has made this very obvious. Although if this kind of thing is paired with a confusion spell It's true that if you do it once or twice, no one will notice it, but if you do it all the way." Jack stopped here and spread his hands to give him a look you know. "And I don't think there are many people who could resist the temptation of these runes without knowing that the original runes would face huge obstacles in taking them beyond legend."
