Chapter 59: The Wand
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Walking out of Tumbledown Alley, Chen Ping, who had a large sum of money, removed his magic disguise and began to purchase the items he needed, including a full set of books, a crucible, a medicine scale, a certain amount of medicine and materials, and several sets of black velvet robes of good material. His body has become younger, and many of his original sized clothes are no longer usable. What he's wearing now is a shrinking spell, which always feels a little weird.
"Finally, it's time to buy a proper wand."
In this world, the wand used by every wizard is recorded in the magic department, so Chen Ping needs a wand that can be placed on the bright side for daily spell casting, and he has a strong interest in the spell casting technology here.
Hercules once highly recommended the staff of the Ollinvander Staff Shop, most of the staff of Hogwarts teachers and students are from here, but this famous store is a narrow and dilapidated storefront, only the wand sign at the door reads "Ollinvand, the best wand" in gold letters
When Chen Ping entered the store, a crisp bell rang out of nowhere. He looked around, and there was nothing but a chair. He sat in this chair and waited, there were hundreds of narrow boxes in the store, almost piled up to the ceiling, and Chen Ping knew that these were finished staffs. But the magic here is so great that it is difficult for him to pick out the right wand for him at a glance.
"Welcome, guest, I'm Olin Vander." An old man suddenly appeared behind the counter, his large, blue eyes shining through the dim darkness of the shop.
"I need a wand that fits me." Chen Ping nodded gently, showing friendship.
"Oh, of course, young sir." Olin Vander glanced at Chen Ping, "I feel a powerful magic power in you. Well, let me see, which one will be your wand. He pulled out a long ruler with silver markings from his pocket, "Which hand do you use to hold a cane?" "Well, I'm right-handed." Chen Ping replied. As an arcane, his hands are equally flexible, but in comparison, using his right hand is a habit for most people.
"Stretch out your arms, like this." The old man measured from Chen Ping's shoulders to the tips of his fingers, from his wrists to his elbows, from his shoulders to the ground, from his knees to his armpits, and his entire head. We used the unicorn's head, the feathers on the phoenix's tail and the dragon's heartstrings, and no two Ollivanders wands were the same, as if no two unicorns, phoenixes, or dragons were exactly the same. Of course, if you use another magician's wand, it won't end well. ”
"Alright, let's try it." After measuring the measurements, the old man took out a few wands, "Try this." The heartstrings of the beech and the lizard dragon, 9 inches in size, nice and flexible, take it and try to wield it. ”
Chen Ping picked up the wand, and almost at the same time, the two of them heard a groan.
"No, maple trees and phoenix feathers, 7 inches are extremely elastic, try it."
"No, it's a difficult guest."
I don't know why, when Chen Ping began to channel his magic power into these wands, he always felt a little strange, he tried twenty or thirty in a row, and even saw sweat on the old man's head.
"Strange why none of these wands are for you."
"I guess let's try the purple shirt." Chen Ping said suddenly. (Whose wand is a purple shirt with phoenix feathers, anyone who has seen hp knows.) Purple shirt wood is always associated with death, magic, and has the meaning of representing souls, reincarnated people, poison, immortality, etc.)
"Purple shirtwood? This is not a good thing, last time a wand of purple shirt wood and phoenix feather fell into the hands of a terrible person, causing a great disaster. Olin Vander shook his head sadly.
"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with the wand itself, it's the person who uses it that's at fault." Chen Ping smiled faintly.
"Well, you have a point." The old man didn't insist, turned around, and began to rummage. He didn't notice that behind him, Chen Ping's eyes were radiating a faint silver light.
"Psychic Scan"
As a master alchemist, although he only knew a little about the principle of a wand, it was enough for him to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a wand and its attributes.
"Try this, purple shirt wood plus dragon heartstrings, twelve inches long, with good toughness, try it."
Chen Ping took the wand, injected a little magic power slightly, and with a slight wave, a loud explosion sounded in the store, and in a cabinet behind Olin Vander, more than a dozen wand boxes inside were blown up together, falling everywhere, and one of them tumbled and fell in front of Chen Ping, and was grabbed by him.
"What kind of wand is this?" Chen Ping said as if nothing had happened.
"Merlin is on top." Olin Vander glanced at the box and exclaimed: "Purple shirt wood and Thestrals tail feathers, nine .9 inches long, I remember this wand, the only work made by a rebellious fellow in our family, has never been able to be used, very powerful, but very difficult to control." ”
Chen Ping pulled out the wand, which was completely black and full of mysterious inscriptions on the handle, from the black leather case, and there was a burst of loneliness and roughness, filled with desolate music echoing in the store.
"Well, it's yours, 2oo sailing coins." Olin Vander borrowed the money and said helplessly: "Please use it well, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the year." ”
"Well, thank you." Chen Ping said with satisfaction. He could feel that this wand was one of the three most powerful wands in the store, while the other two wands were the core of Unicorn Tail's mane, which did not match his attributes.
"Oh, here you are, have you already chosen your wand?" The door was pushed open, revealing half of Hercule's face.
"Well, it's almost, can we go to the academy?" Chen Ping put away his wand and replied.
"Well, it's not time yet, the students will be going back on the Hogwarts Express in the morning five days later, on platform 9 and 3/4. Until then, you can go shopping or read a book by yourself, and we still stay at the Leaky Cauldron Bar. Herculi scratched his shaggy head.
"It's Hercule, it's nice to see you, I heard that you're also a teacher at the academy, aren't you?" Mr. Olin Vander said warmly.
"yes, hehe." Hercules laughed a little embarrassed.
"Dumbledore is a good guy."
"Hercules, is Mr. Olin Vander your friend?" Chen Ping asked thoughtfully.
"Oh, yes, Hercule, though a little rude, is a good man, and I watched him grow up from a baby." Mr. Ollinvander laughed.
"So, Hercule, you just said that the academy is on vacation now, right?" Chen Ping said suddenly.
"Yes, every winter and summer, students go back to their homes." Hercules replied.
"Well, you don't think I'll be able to live in that garbage." Chen Ping asked.
Hercules smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Young man, what do you want to say?" Olin Vander said with some confusion.
"Oh, that's right, I'm very interested in wand making, and I've been exposed to some knowledge of this before,Chen Ping said, taking out a crude bone wand and coming out. It is a Luminous wand that stores 1o Fluorescent Blink spells.
"If I could, I would like to come to Mr. Olin Vands every year when I have free time and learn the art of making wands. It's better to be able to learn a trade than to waste time doing nothing. ”
"Uh, this ......," Olin Vander looked at Hercules with some hesitation.
"If you need a helper, you can really consider taking him as an apprentice, he is a transfer student from China, he has a good hand, and Mr. Dumbledore thinks highly of him." Herculi didn't suspect anything, and told the truth.
"Judging from this piece, you do have a certain amount of talent, but you don't have special training. Since Herculi said so, well, you can stay here when the academy is not in class, and I can teach you how to make a wand, and you have to teach me how to make it. Other than that, I can give you a 10% stake in Ollinvanders, but you can't teach this method to anyone else, how about it? ”
Olin Vander played with his wand and immediately understood the business opportunity. According to the magic setting of this world, wands are stored purely as a way to cast spells, and for every wizard, they use almost all the magic, almost always using the same wand, so this reason directly determines that a wizard will not buy wands frequently. However, Chen Ping's light magic wand contains another concept, that is, a limited number of times and a low threshold. As long as it has magical power, it can activate the spells sealed in the wand, and when it runs out, it will be scrapped, or it can be charged with a special method. In this way, a wizard will buy a wand to cast magic that he does not master, and will also repeatedly go to the store to spend it in order to recharge it.
"I've been working on this approach for many years, and I need enough money to continue researching."
"Deal." Olin Vander nodded, it was a perfectly acceptable price for him.
The two immediately signed a magic agreement, and in this world, Chen Ping used his technology to invest in the Olin Vander Staff Shop, exchange methods for making wands, and keep them secret.
"Young man, I've seen what you've bought, you might as well consider buying an owl so you can keep in touch with others and pass on items, and besides, if you're interested, a nice broomstick."
After helping Chen Ping count the items on the side, Herculi raised his head and said.
"Hercule, you know I've just arrived here and I'm on a tight budget, that's why I need this job. Owl I'd consider buying one, but broomstick, I don't think it's something I'll be able to afford in a few days. ”
As he spoke, Chen Ping opened his backpack and poured out more than a dozen bone staffs that had sealed all kinds of spells, which was one of his achievements last night, which directly made Olin Vander dumbfounded.
"I think I can get to work now."
