Chapter 679: Wand and Loot
"Child, though you saved me and gave me a second life. But you can't insult my abilities in this regard. Ollivander choked a few times after hearing Ryan's words, and then said with some anger.
"Our family has preserved almost all of Western Europe's oldest wand-making techniques, encompassing all techniques from the time of mythological heroes to the present day. So I don't think I'm much worse technically than the master wand maker who made the Elder Wand. ”
After saying that, Ollivander glared at Ryan with wide eyes, expressing his dissatisfaction with Ryan's words just now. As a master wandmaker, Ollivanders has a pride of his own. He will not allow others to belittle his craft at will.
"You don't believe that fairy tale, do you?" said Ollivander, as if suddenly remembering something. "I can assure you that the so-called Grim Reaper's creation of the Death Trichallows is just a legend. When he was imprisoned two days ago, Grigovich told me that he had owned an Elder Wand, and that the results of his examination were indeed made by human wizards, and that it was not a miracle of the gods. Although I don't really agree with the style, I believe that I will not be wrong in this regard. ”
"I know this. Ryan said to Ollivander, "What I meant was that in order to make a wand like the Elder Wand, you have to reach a certain level of strength. If you don't have the strength enough, you won't be able to make that powerful wand even if you follow the right method. ”
"Strength?" Ollivander pondered after hearing this, as a master wandmaker, his own strength was not particularly strong. It's just that he never had to think about his own strength when making ordinary wands before, so he had never thought about it in this direction before.
"It's about strength. Ryan stared into Ollivander's eyes and nodded solemnly, before summoning the Rose Lady. "Just look at this. ”
"This is, alchemystone. "As a master wandmaker, Ollivanders naturally knows a thing or two about alchemy. So after a little examination of the gem in Ryan's hand, it quickly figured out what it was. "If I'm not mistaken, Nicolemel had an alchemy stone in his hand. But since that alchemy stone was destroyed, there should be no alchemy stone in Europe. ”
"That's exactly what happened. Ryan raised an eyebrow. "But I've remade this kind of thing, and in the process, I've also discovered that personal strength is very useful in the production of these special items. Just like the making of alchemy stones, even in Muggles, I can find a way to make alchemy stones, but there are not many people who can make them, because there are too few people who meet the requirements of refining. ”
"—you should be right. Ollivander, who originally wanted to stick to his own opinions, could only admit that it was because his level was not enough to make a powerful wand similar to the Elder Wand.
"But you better be careful, I don't think the Dark Lord is looking for powerful power-ups just to defeat you or Headmaster Dumbledore. Ollivander said after frowning. "In his old ways, I think he feels as if he thinks he's perfect, so he's chasing all sorts of magic items and even myths and legends because he believes they will make him invulnerable. ”
"What a strange idea. Hermione didn't quite understand. "Wands are just wands, why would anyone think that these powerful items can make people more powerful than before. ”
"I think it's because he feels that he's gone far enough on the path of conquering death, even to the extreme. Ryan explained to Hermione through the Phoenix Brand, "At least in terms of Horcruxes, he can't cut out more soul fragments, which may make him feel that his potential has been tapped to the extreme, so now he is looking for external forces to improve himself." And the first two times I used the power of Our Lady of the Rosary, it should have reminded him of the importance of external forces. ”
"But you're not—" Hermione was puzzled. She knew that Ryan's Madonna of Roses was not the same as the Philosopher's Stone, and it could not be regarded as a practice with the help of external forces. And the Deathly Hallows are not the same concept at all.
"But he doesn't know the mysterious man. Ryan winked mischievously at Hermione after conveying this through the Phoenix Brand.
After interacting with Hermione, Ryan turned to Ollivanders. "Thank you very much for bringing these messages, they will help us enough for our next move, we will leave and let you have a good rest. ”
"Yes, yes, I do need a good rest. The Dark Lord's torture of me before was so great that the Diamond Curse ...... You don't know ....... ”
"We know," Ryan said with a serious nod, "I really do. Rest well, if you have any needs, you can tell those metal robots to do it, and they will do what you ask. Finally, thank you for telling us all this. With that, Ryan and Hermione stepped out of the room and closed the door.
Over the course of the next afternoon, Ryan and the others began to clean up the pile of magical materials they had previously seized from the basement in the living room. Previously, at Voldemort's call, many pure-blood families took out everything they had at the bottom of the box. This also allowed Ryan and the others to find a lot of good things that they hadn't even seen in the school library.
"I finally know why the mystery man didn't allow the Dead Apostles to enter that house. Hermione held up a palm-sized piece of amber and said as she wrapped it in a drop of sky-blue liquid. Miraculously, though, there is a layer of hoarfrost on the exterior of the amber. "There are so many precious treasures in that house, and with his suspicious personality, he will never let anyone else have a chance to apologize for those treasures. ”
"Other than that, it's a mysterious man's wand. Ryan also picked up a piece of silver ingots smelted by goblins, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said. "A wand is the equivalent of a wizard's second life, so the mysterious man will definitely not let his subordinates see this process. If I'm not mistaken, Ollivanders and the others really make a wand that rivals the Elder Wand, and what awaits them is definitely killing. ”
They had been cleaning up the pile of treasures for most of the day, and it wasn't until late in the evening that they were finally placed in different categories. In the process, Ryan discovers that Harry Potter should have been much more prosperous than it is now. The abundance of magic contained in the unnamed claws, feathers, or scales contained in the containers is telling.
"How powerful these magical creatures must have been when they were alive. Hermione sighed after discovering the energy attached to these things, "Maybe the world will be the same as the Silvermoon City we visited last time, and it will be pregnant with a powerful magical civilization." ”
"But that kind of world is not kind to most people. Ryan had to point this out. "For example, the last time we went to Silvermoon City, it was already the safest city in the area, but if an ordinary person left the protection of the city wall, his life would easily be in danger. ”
"You're right, that's why it's best to look like this right now. Hermione shrugged her shoulders as she said this, "As for this kind of magic material, we have so many worlds anyway, and we can always find a world that produces this level of material." ”
"You're right, but it's not easy for even those worlds to gather so many top-notch materials at once. At least in a bustling place like Silvermoon City at the time, I had only seen so many things in the treasure trove of Erastro. It seems that this time the mysterious man has looted all the family resources of those pure-blood families. ”
"But, now they're all ours. Hermione smiled brightly, "It's our duty now to save the innocent and stop the atrocities. However, it would be nice to have a few more windfalls. ”
"Don't even think about that. Ryan smiled and shook his head. "Even pure-blood families won't have too many of these things, so I don't think there will be any more big gains like this today in the future. ”
"I know, but people always have to be a little optimistic, maybe one day the mysterious person has something wrong with his brain and then gathers a batch of treasures. Hermione stood up after speaking, "Alright, let's go eat, it's too late for dinner today." ”
