Chapter 679: Sarah's Father

If a person does something suspicious and does not give a proper explanation, it will often attract the suspicion of others. And if the suspect is a more careful guy, then it is inevitable that the matter will be exposed.

Just like Enns, his coping response quickly caught Alexander's attention.

"... At that time he was reading... Was this the book?"

The next day, when Ens took the time to go to the old place to practice the spell, Alexander saw the opportunity and came to the library. At this moment, he was standing in front of a bookshelf that Ens often visited, reaching out and stroking the slightly old spine of the book.

"It should be right..." He pulled out the book, glanced at the title on the cover, and then turned the page, ""Explanation of Rune Translation"...'Anglo-Saxon- Anglo-Saxon Futhorc'? What kind of nonsense is this..."

Due to the fact that ancient runes are difficult and boring to learn, there have been very few candidates for this course since before. Alexander felt these characteristics very clearly now. After all, he flipped through the book, and just seeing the densely packed words and symbols on the paper, he couldn't help but want to retreat.

Yes, even though it was Maca, whom he respected, who was teaching this class now, he felt a little indifferent to him now.

But……

"...I think it's so boring, that Ens Tawon..." Alexander frowned and looked at it, while he couldn't help thinking, "Will he really be interested in this kind of thing?"

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head.

"Impossible," Alexander whispered to himself, "How could a guy who can say something like 'I just want to learn how to use it' learn this—"

In the middle of the conversation, Maca's face suddenly flashed across his mind, causing him to stop talking.

"No, maybe it really is a 'workable' subject..."

Thinking of this, Alexander simply closed the book and walked straight to the borrowing registration office with it.

"Mrs. Pince, I need to borrow this book—"

"Write down the title of the book here, and then sign it... Remember, it is forbidden to damage the book, and I will check it carefully when returning it! If there is a little bit..."

It is Mrs. Pince's duty as a librarian to manage the books in the library and ensure that the collection is not dirty or damaged by the little wizards. But as far as she loves books to the extent that they are regarded as taboos, it is unavoidable that it is a bit too much.

In fact, no matter who came here to borrow books, she never showed any good looks.

Of course, Alexander didn't feel much about Mrs. Pince's long-windedness. He just wanted to borrow this book and try to find some reasons from it that prompted Ensi's attitude to change.

...

"Tuk tuk..." "Come in."

Lately, it has become quite difficult to find Maca in his office. But Alexander still didn't miss an opportunity. Taking advantage of the short break before lunch, he quickly came to Maca's office with his books,

Knocked on the door.

"Oh, Alexander?"

Even Maca seemed a little tired due to the busyness of the past few days. This kind of exhaustion is mental. After all, it is still very exhausting to deal with a group of foreign wizards who may not speak the same language all day long.

"...Come in! What's the matter? What can I do for you?"

Seeing Alexander panting, he knew that the other party must have come running over. But thinking about it, if it was later, he would have to go to the side hall to entertain guests, and it would definitely be inconvenient for Hogwarts students to come in and out.

When Maka invited Alexander into the office, intending to get him some water to quench his thirst, Alexander immediately refused.

"No, no need..." Alexander swallowed hard to relieve the dryness in his throat, "Professor McLean, I want to ask you a question—"

As he spoke, he handed out the book in his hand, and showed the cover in front of Maca.

"That's it... What kind of ancient rune is Anglo-Saxon-Fortok? And where does it usually appear?"

Maca heard the words, looked down at the book, but did not take it.

"Why, are you interested in the translation of ancient runes? This is rare among students..." Even Maca has to admit that simple ancient rune translations are boring, "Strictly speaking, this is not ancient Rune, but a deformed text deduced from runes. More than a thousand years ago, it was used for more daily written writing..."

Having said that, he spread his hands and said, "That is to say, this kind of characters are actually similar to the English we use now - they don't have magical power in themselves."

"Uh... so, this is a simple ancient script?" Alexander asked with a depressed and puzzled expression.

"Well, yes." Maca nodded, "If you want to say where it will appear... I think, the British region—that is, some ancient documents on our side will have them?"

Maca saw Alexander's vaguely disappointed expression, so he thought for a second, thinking that he had no interest in this kind of ancient writing that does not have magic properties.

"Don't be disappointed, this kind of writing was originally developed on the basis of runes," he smiled and patted Alexander on the shoulder, "and runes are magical—if you want to learn better Runes, it would certainly be helpful to study this more accessible script first."

"Ah, um..." Alexander nodded, "So that's it... I understand. Then... Thank you, Professor! I'm going out first..."

The answer he got from Maca gave him some guesses. He believes that Enns may want to lay a solid foundation for his future courses, and step by step is undoubtedly a far-sighted way of learning.

After sending Alexander out of the office, Maca returned to the desk to pack up some documents.

He didn't think much about Alexander's inquiry. Because since he took up the post of professor of ancient magic text, the number of students who are interested in this course has gradually increased a lot, and there are often little wizards who rummage through such books in the library.

Of course, being interested is one thing, but not many students can persevere.

Just like at the beginning, there were quite a lot of students who attended the magic text classroom, but as the course continued to advance, most of the students who attended the class gave up.

His teaching method and the latest courses of the ancient magic text he summed up are indeed more detailed and attractive than the past content. But the learning process of this kind of subject, after all, will inevitably involve a lot of reciting and copying, and it is only natural that most students do not have that patience.

Without taking this matter to heart, Maca got up and left her office after packing up the documents. From the beginning to the end, he only stayed here for less than half an hour, and his busyness can be seen.

Before rushing to the side hall, he had to go to the school gate to welcome a group of guests from Egypt. The group of guests who arrived before noon today are not delegations from any country or region, but a team of judges invited by the International Federation of Wizards from the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center.

The world's largest alchemy research institution was originally established under the banner of searching and excavating ancient alchemy literature and monuments. At first, it was just an "ancient alchemy exhibition hall" with its own archaeological team.

However, since the archaeological operations have not made much progress, they simply changed their appearance and started to study new alchemy with a certain amount of ancient documents.

But now, the scale is much larger than before, and there are many alchemy product projects that are directly supplied to the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

It is worth mentioning that in the process from archaeology to innovation, the Hohenheim family, as the leader, absolutely contributed a lot.

"You must be the head of the research center—Mr. Alessandro von Hohenheim, right? I'm Maca McLean, the professor of ancient runes at Hogwarts."

Maca didn't expect that the Egyptian side came faster than he expected. When he came to the vestibule of the castle, he soon discovered that there was already a group of people at the school gate.

And more importantly, he also saw a particularly eye-catching fat man in the crowd, and Sarah Hohenheim standing next to the fat man.

The brother and sister reunited here again, and the fat man still put on a pleasing look, obviously because his father and sister, the two people who bothered him the most, were here today.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of the siblings, Maca was taken aback for a moment before stepping forward to say hello.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that the man who had the big fat man Noah and the little beauty Sarah as a pair of children turned out to be a surprisingly muscular man with a strong physique. Even though this man is wearing a well-fitting suit, his incomparably strong muscles are still swollen, which can be seen at a glance.

"Oh! You are Mr. McLean?" This Mr. Hohenheim laughed boldly, "Your copy of "Mystery of the Ancient Runes" is very valuable, but it's a pity that you didn't sell it on the market...... At the beginning, I wanted to get It took a lot of thought to get a copy!"

What he was talking about was the magic text textbook compiled by Maca in the past. In principle, this book is only sold in the Hogwarts library. Someone made a copy.

"This is just a textbook for teaching," Maca also said with a smile, "If you want it, you can just write to me and ask for it...Come, Mr. Hohenheim, please come in first! Lunch It's all ready for you..."

Exchanging greetings at the gate is obviously not a matter, and after just a few words, Maca invited the other party into the castle, just in time for a ready-made lunch.

And Sarah and fat Noah accompanied silently.
