Chapter 235: Chapter 106: Outsmarting the Founder, Creating Miracles
Ian once saw talking books in the Forbidden Book Area of the Hogwarts Library. He even conducted a curious study of them, which must be one of the important reasons behind the absurd scene in front of him today.
"I beco more efficient in alchemy when I’m drunk?!" Ian tried hard to recall what he did last night, but all he could rember was himself battling dance leaders at a ghosts’ banquet.
Kids really shouldn’t drink.
He had no idea when he returned to the Room of Requirent and how he managed to stay up all night tinkering with this pile of books. He even managed to decorate a Dentor sohow.
The feeling of a hangover is very unpleasant.
Especially for Ian’s body, which was not yet fully developed.
He shook his aching head, as scattered fragnts of mory seed to spill out. But he only recalled categorizing the bones of Riddle’s whole family.
"One of you must be Old Tom," Ian remarked as he glanced at the pile of Muggle bones that had been carefully sorted out. Due to their lack of magical bloodline, they were spared and stacked in a corner. As for the bones with magical bloodline, they were now floating in the air as the Book of Bones.
None were spared.
"My body is about to explode!"
"Can’t you make
bigger?"
"You’ve ssed up the face on my cover; take it off and fix it right away!"
"Oh, heavens, what a boring creator. He made us just to talk with stupid snakes. I feel I despise the content and mission I carry!"
...
A group of floating Books of Bones chattered non-stop.
Their covers were composed of intricately selected human bones, originally scattered and now rearranged into lifelike but uniquely distinct skeletal faces.
So male, so female.
They looked decidedly evil, but also had an artistic vibe. Ian felt that his artistic flair was rather pronounced when drunk, and he grabbed one of the Books of the Snake Language and opened it.
Sure enough.
Just like when his plans were interrupted by ghosts last night, the book contained no words, only ancient rune symbols outlined in lines, faintly flickering.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The open Book of the Snake Language ceased its complaining, and the skeletal face on the cover began whispering instructional tones, as if snakes were murmuring in Ian’s ears.
Accompanied by translations.
But before the translated whispers began, Ian found that he had already guessed the aning of snake-speech ahead of ti, despite so errors, it was generally not too far off.
Only now did Ian notice that after last night’s frantic crafting, his Alchemy was approaching a breakthrough point, and he had gained a preliminary understanding of Snake-man during the creation of the Book of the Snake Language. Although he didn’t acquire specific Skills, the Skills he already possessed had greatly improved.
[Language Mastery (Level 7): 5/6400]
From Level 6 to Level 7, it reached the sa level as [Fla Conquest]. Fully mastering snake-speech might lead to a considerable enhancent.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
Ian attempted to interact with the Book of the Snake Language using Snake-man.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss~"
The skeletal face on the cover of the Book of the Snake Language imdiately responded. This is the reason why the Books of the Snake Language appear to have high ’intelligence’ and make comnts.
Ian’s creative concept is to provide learners with a good language exchange environnt.
He believed that the rigid morization and study of words and language structures would only leave learners able to understand snake-speech but never truly communicate. Being able to have exchanges while learning is the best way to learn and definitely the fastest thod to learn a language.
"You all are wonderful!" Ian gave the Book of the Snake Language a perfect score for user experience, and he imdiately took out his carving knife to inscribe a sentence on the Book of the Snake Language.
[They will speak to you. This is a masterpiece book by Ian Prince.]
Following the Bone Crushing and Ash Scattering Box, Ian created his own original work. Although the materials were sowhat from the Underworld, the Book of the Snake Language was evidently more aningful than the Bone Crushing and Ash Scattering Box. If the Gaunt Clan has no objections in the Yellow Springs, it might indeed be called an outstanding piece.
After all.
Parselmouth, aside from bloodline inheritance, is notoriously difficult for even Dumbledore to master through study. Dumbledore, apart from being a magic genius, is also a linguistics genius. Even such an expert can only morize so syllables through rote learning. For other diocre wizards, mastering Snake-man is even more unlikely.
"Unfortunately, I can’t sell you at school, at least not until I catch a treasure snake-monster... The little wizards at school probably won’t offer a high price anyway." Ian scrambled around the room, gathering the Books of the Snake Language that were fleeing in all directions and stuffed dozens of them into his money bag.
After nurous expansions, Ian’s money bag now had the size of a football field. Most of his possessions were now conveniently carried with him.
