Chapter 105: Ancient Rune Notebook

Allen picked up the book, blew off the dust on it, and spread it out on the table.

The entire book was handwritten, recording a vast amount of ancient runes, with some runes annotated in English underneath...

Allen flipped through the whole book rapidly; with his current reserve of rune knowledge, the shapes of most ancient runes in this book were correct, and most of the annotations for the ancient runes he recognized were also correct, while many ancient runes he did not recognize in this book also had annotations written beneath them...

Allen instantly realized the immense value of this book.

He pulled Ron up and asked eagerly, "Where did you get the book you used to prop up the table leg?"

Ron was somewhat confused about how Allen, who had just been in low spirits, could become so eager; he said with a blank face, "I found it in my family's basement! No one could understand that book, so I used it to prop up the table leg! That book was very sturdy; I've used it to prop up the table leg for four or five years, and now there's hardly any sign of damage..."

Ron's words reminded Allen.

Right! According to Allen's experience, parchment recording so many ancient runes would self-combust and not last long! Yet this book was completely fine...

This discovery made him even more certain of the book's extraordinary nature...

"Do you have any similar books?" Allen continued to ask.

Ron looked at him and said, "I don't have any now, but I can keep an eye out for you; there are many old books in my family's basement..."

Allen wanted to drag Ron to the basement right now, but doing so would undoubtedly be quite rude, so he forcibly suppressed this impulse.

"Then can you lend me this book for a few days?" Allen said to Ron.

Ron casually waved his small hand, "Just give it to you directly; this book is useless to me anyway."

"I'll return it to you after I copy it!" Allen felt it wasn't quite right to accept it directly, especially since Ron was unaware of the book's value, "I feel this book is very precious..."

Ron was noncommittal about Allen's words, but he tacitly approved of Allen's action.

All afternoon, Allen was immersed in the knowledge of this book and could not extricate himself, while Ron played happily with Harry, flying broomsticks, and catching gnomes.

They invited Allen to join them several times, but Allen politely refused each time...

Allen found a strange name in this book—Bell Weasley.

"Bell Weasley? It seems to be the name of one of my ancestors; you know the Weasley family has many members, and I don't remember clearly either," Ron answered Allen's question.

Allen looked at Ron in surprise; he felt he had vaguely grasped something!

Is this the foundation of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families? Indeed, a lean camel is bigger than a fat horse! Allen felt he had figured all this out...

Allen stayed at Ron's house for two days before returning to Diagon Alley, because he could only rest two days a week, and he was also eager to experiment with his recent research on ancient runes, and there were still too many Weasleys; he had always known he couldn't find an opportunity to experiment.

After returning to Ollivander's wand shop, Allen locked himself in his room and began copying that ancient rune notebook.

He casually picked out an old notebook and began his copying.

But on one page, he accidentally copied an extra ancient rune, causing the parchment to be unable to bear it and start self-combusting; by the time Allen discovered it, half the notebook had already burned.

Seeing his half-day's hard work gone, Allen couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged...

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when he was writing a letter, the paper of a notebook could not be torn off no matter what.

Allen suddenly felt this matter was not simple...

He dug out all his old notebooks, counted them, and found the quantity was wrong; he had clearly bought ten then, but now there were eleven; however, Allen didn't think much of it; he found the notebook he used to write the letter, and the content of the last letter was still on it...

Allen brought this notebook close to his eyes,

observing carefully; the outermost layer of this old notebook was a tattered black cover, and the whole thing was relatively thin...

Allen patiently flipped through every page and found that besides the content he wrote last time, there was nothing else on it...

Allen started trying to tear the parchment of the notebook again, finding he could not tear it off no matter what; he tried every page, but the result remained the same...

Allen's interest immediately rose; he used a Transfiguration spell to turn a book on the table into a pair of scissors, used the scissors to cut the notebook, but still could not damage this notebook...

His interest grew even stronger; this time he simply put the notebook on a candle flame; half a day passed, and the flame could not cause any damage to the notebook whatsoever.

Allen suddenly felt excited in his heart; he understood he had picked up a treasure...

It seems I should wander around the various shops in Diagon Alley more often; I actually managed to find a bargain! Allen thought excitedly.

Then an idea jumped into Allen's brain: if this indestructible notebook were used to record ancient runes, wouldn't it be just right?

He had been searching for a medium to safely copy ancient runes; he never expected that something he had searched for bitterly for a year would simply come into his hands automatically...

However, exactly how many ancient runes this book can carry still needs him to test it specifically...

So Allen, full of energy, began the copying work...

He first copied ten ancient runes onto one sheet of parchment, then quietly observed for half a day and found the paper had absolutely no changes.

This greatly increased his confidence; he knew that with ordinary parchment, he only dared to copy two ancient runes at a time.

This time Allen was bolder; he filled a page with ancient runes, about thirty or forty, and continued to observe for half an hour, finding the paper still had absolutely no changes...

Allen was now truly plunged into ecstasy; finally, he filled the back of this page with ancient runes as well; the final result was that the paper could completely withstand the power of the ancient runes...

Allen instantly became full of energy; he prepared to stay up all night with a lamp today to copy all the ancient runes he mastered, so that researching ancient runes would be much more convenient in the future.

Just as Allen had copied half the book of ancient runes, he suddenly discovered that all the characters he wrote in this notebook had disappeared...

Just as Allen was at a loss, a sentence appeared on the diary:

"Please stop writing ancient runes! It makes me very uncomfortable!"

Allen jumped up in an instant, his wand already in hand pointing at the notebook...

The speed at which the diary displayed characters suddenly increased...

"I will not hurt you, nor can I hurt you! You cannot hurt me either!"

"Relax! Let's have a good talk!"

"My name is Tom Yoder..."
