Chapter 397 Doppelganger

"I've been holding these two wands in my hands for almost twenty years. When I first got my first one, I knew what it was. But when I saw the second root, I wasn't sure. "After that, I spent more than a decade secretly investigating, and I began to determine their identities again: both are Elder Wands, the strongest wands in the wizarding world. ”

By this time, several people had already sat down in Ollivander's workshop, and the front door of the wand shop had a sign reading "Resting". For the first time in the history of the Ollivanders family, the Ollivanders family has been operating in this place for generations, except for wars, injuries and illnesses, and weddings and funerals.

Seeing that Ollivanders was tired from his previous excitement, Feige poured him a drink with the Harvest Horn to help him regain his strength. "I noticed that you described them as the strongest wands, and they didn't workβ€”but they were two. ”

"Let's start with the origins. Legend has it that the Elder Wand was made of elderwood by the Grim Reaper, and the wizards who wield it will be invincible in magical battles. Ollivander took a drink and quickly recovered before continuing: "However, another legend about the Elder Wand mentions that this wand will always obey the stronger. If someone overcomes its current master, he will immediately become its next master. This victory includes ways to win outside of magical combat. There are legends about assassination, robbery, stealing, and more. So, it's an ominous wand. ”

Feiqi looked at the wand in his hand and shook his head: "Strong and unfaithful, these two wands do have them, but I don't see anything ominous." If it's the strongest battle wand, it does cause a takeover, but it's still a problem for the user. In the final analysis, only those who want to be invincible will pursue this wand - in fact, this kind of person, no matter what kind of wand he holds, death and disaster will always follow. ”

"Yes, the wand follows the user, and the Elder Wand is only carrying out the master's orders. Ollivanders nodded in agreement. At this time, Xia Ni took out the food packed from the corner restaurant from the space bag, took out the food that could be grabbed directly by hand, and set a table for the two people who were talking about wands. Ollivander was indeed hungry after some tossing, and finally met a person who had the ability to make wands and was not in the wizarding world, and the conversation became endless.

"Most of the great men in history have pursued this wand. As far as I know, since a hundred years ago, several of the most powerful mages have used this wand, with good guys and bad guys among them, and several battles have been intertwined throughout all the major wars and conflicts in the wizarding world in the past hundred years. Most recently, he used the wand when the Dark Lord was raging some twenty years ago. This is not a legend, I secretly asked the people who were following him at the time, and this is the wand style they described. ”

The Dark Lord, a very powerful wizard, has a section of his chapter in the introduction to the wizarding world in Window of the World. Fitch knew how he had been killed, and said, "Since the Elder Wand is invincible, when the Dark Lord is defeated, the owner of the Elder Wand should be the one who defeated him." Can...... Didn't he get this wand?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but he must have given up the Elder Wand on his own initiative. Ollivander said, "Yes, I'm talking about the Elder Wand, not 'this' wand, because I don't know which one is his." The intact wand found in the graveyard may have been put in by him, but it is also possible that he made any of the broken wands, and the two cases are almost probable. ”

After Ollivander's explanation, Feige quickly understood what happened in the last "Dark Lord War" (Ollivander version). To put it simply, the venerable White Wizard had an Elder Wand, the Dark Lord killed the White Wizard, and with the wand, the White Wizard's student, the "Lightning Brave" defeated and killed the Dark Lord.

The intact Elder Wand was found in the White Wizard's Graveyard, and it is likely that the Lightning Brave used this method to "return things to their rightful owners" as a way to express their grief and remembrance. The location of the broken wand is not far from the place where the Dark Lord died, in the black lake where the surrounding rivers converge, and the Lightning Hero is likely to break the wand and discard it, after which it is washed into the river by the rain, and finally hides in the lake.

"According to legend, I suspect that he abandoned the Elder Wand in order to make it impossible for the Elder Wand to choose a new owner through natural death, so that he would lose his magic power and no longer cause conflict," Ollivander said. ”

"Ha, what a child's idea. Feiqi shook his head: "How is it possible to do half the job, thinking that the best result can wait slowly? I really want the Elder Wand to have no owner, the best thing is to use the Elder Wand to commit suicide, and to ensure that the soul is also completely destroyed." Therefore, it is better to break it than to put it back in the cemetery. It's a pity that after he broke it, he thought his work was done and didn't review it. He may not have been on the real battlefield, and after the battle, even if he wins, he has to mend the dead on the battlefield, which is a necessary check. ”

"It's good to win, you can't ask for perfection. Ollivander was a little embarrassed and argued.

"With this Elder Wand in my hand now, I can become a Deep Demon Lord darker than the Dark Lord. Will he be responsible for his carelessness when I make a bloody storm?" Feige shook his head and said to Ollivanders, "Don't be nervous, I'll just say that." A wand is only a tool for casting spells, and does not turn a person into a devil. It's just that you haven't explained why there are two. ”

"That's right. During the Dark Lord War, many people had their wands damaged in battle and asked me to repair them, but one man's wand didn't come to me and it recovered on its own. "No spell can repair the damage of a wand, but I think the Elder Wand can repair the damage of other wands, as long as it is not completely cut off," Ollivander said. This broken Elder Wand, it wants to repair itself, and its powerful magical ability has created another Elder Wand......"

"Maybe it's a summoned...... Fitch thought of one of the powers of the devil of hell, which is to summon his own kind to help at a certain price. Middle-level devils can recruit low-level thugs, or they can beg for help from high-level devils. The Broken Elder Wand will be of the same kind......

"No, the Broken Wand has the scars of spatial movement, and it doesn't summon rescue, it arrives at the rescue site. Hiss...... Is there more than one wizarding world? This broken wand is from another wizarding world?"

"I thought so, too, but how did it come about?" Ollivander shook his head, his gray, thinning hair swaying slightly, showing a feeling of aging and weakness. Every once in a while, he looked at the Elder Wand in Feiqi's hand, and finally said, "I also thought that if the Elder Wand had a new owner, and this master had enough ability, he might be able to find the spells recorded by the Elder Wand again. ”

"Huh, wands can also record spells?"

Ollivander nodded. "Yes, the wand keeps track of spells that have been cast, and the Elder Wand should be no exception. In general, it is possible to view the cast history through the Flashback Charm, but the Elder Wand is more powerful, so no wand can produce a more powerful Flashback Charm to read the Elder Wand's records. There's so much knowledge and secrets in this Elder Wand, but I can't use it. ”

"Keep going, and this feeling of unavailability will make you more and more uncomfortable until you are forced to take a risk. Especially when death is near, you may try to kill the wand's current owner and thus become its new owner. You think of it this way: I'm dying, I just want to know the secrets inside, and then I can take those secrets and the magic of the Elder Wand and take it off to hell with my own death, breaking the cycle of the Elder Wand. It is better to break early than late, and it is a small sacrifice made for the sake of greater good. ”

Ollivander's mouth opened slightly, and a drop of sweat ran down his forehead. He looked down in shame, then nodded. The thought did come to my mind. I even envisioned that if I invited him over in the name of inspecting and maintaining his wand, he would not be guarded against, and would give it to me. Then ......"

A plan that seems feasible, a goal that seems lofty, a way out that seems safe. These three alone teaming up with "great interests" can produce an irresistible temptation. And when they go together, angels can also become devils. Feige comforted Ollivander and said, "Don't blame yourself, it's normal for you to have such thoughts. Because the Elder Wand was not made by the Grim Reaper, but some kind of creature with the ability of a contract, most likely the Devil. The contract hidden in the wand is constantly exuding power, and the person who touches the wand is part of the contract to a certain extent, and this contract will tempt you to make mistakes. ”

"Not the Grim Reaper, are you sure?"

"Certainly not God. What was created by divine power was characteristic, and I could recognize it. Feige looked at the wand and said, "However, the only way to know for sure is to become its master." ”

"Please don't kill anyone, okay? Without the Elder Wand, your mana is strong enough. The cycle brought about by the Elder Wand is always accompanied by war, it ......"

"Stop, I didn't say I was going to kill someone. Feige said, "Your introduction to the Elder Wand is based on all kinds of legends, but some of the exaggerated and inaccurate parts are considered history by you. Think about it, if the only way the Elder Wand can change is to defeat the previous master, then why would it respond to me? If you think about it, even if it changes its master according to the change of victory or defeat, then the first master has defeated the Grim Reaper? He was appointed to be the first master, so there must be a way to designate the master. According to my understanding of the contract, the Elder Wand is strong, this is the foundation, and then it is first assigned a master, and then the contract is used to change the owner. If everyone keeps the contract, then there will always be a powerful wizard working for the wand, like a fruit tree that can be harvested continuously. ”

"I shudder at this, only the devil can do such a thing!" said Ollivander.

"Yes, devil ......" Feige rechecked his wand and thought for a moment before deciding. He placed both wands on Ollivander's workbench, then attached the Hellish Favor from the Evil Aura to his wand and used the power of the Pact Demon to modify the contract in the Elder Wand.

"You two listen," Feige said in conversation with the Elder Wand on the Contract Demon's radio channel, "of the two wands, only one of you can be my wand, and my choice is the broken one." It has the experience of traveling through the world, which is another advantage that Gen does not have. But it broke and needed to be repaired before it could be used. ”

"Now I am asking for the Broken Wand to be repaired by the wand, and at the same time, the contract for the broken wand is canceled, and I am the only suitable owner for it. If you don't do what I ask, I'll overwrite the Elder Wand's contract with the Hell Pact, and destroy you completely. ”

Both Elder Wands expressed great resistance, shouting "We will not give in, magic is worthless, contracts are the essence!"

Feige snorted and replied, "It's the sound of the contract, not the wand, I can already hear it." I can combine two contracts into one and strengthen them to get more souls in the devil's latest way. Whether or not the cycle of wizards fighting for the Elder Wand can be broken has nothing to do with me, I'm not interested in participating. I'm going to ask for a wand and the spells in it, or I'm going to do something good for the wizarding world in exchange for other benefits. For you, compromise or finish!"

The contract is made for profit, and it will never have lofty ideals and firm integrity, so the Elder Wand agreed. After that, Feige picked up the intact one and aimed it at the broken one, a dazzling light shot out, and the broken wand was restored to its original state. It's not exactly the same, the contract inside has been transferred, and it's now just a wand, a "new" wand with great power.

Feige placed his wand on his forehead, fusing the two contracts with the knowledge of the contract demon, making it more hidden, more powerful, and more seductive. When he did all this, the old wand in his hand became cold and piercing, making him feel a sense of rejection from his skin to his soul. So he threw down his wand and picked up the "new wand" on the table. It's warm and cozy, but it doesn't feel like it's like the palm of your hand is in the same way that your fingers are in a relationship.

"I chose this one. Fitch examined his wand in the form of a soul contract, and after making sure that there were no remnants of the old era, he put it into his own soul, the same way he had stored the contract. Since the wand can communicate with the wizard's soul and depend on life and death, then this is a special soul contract. With a flick of his wrist, Feige summons his wand and uses it to enhance his spells.

"That one is the old wand of this world. Feige said to Ollivander, "I won't touch the old wand of this world, I suggest you put it back." This one in my hand is enough to answer the doubts in your heartβ€”unless I can't dig up the answers. It was never the power of the wand that made the wizard fall, but the greed for power. ”

Ollivander nodded slowly, he definitely understood, but it took a process to complete the transformation. Feige wished he could put the Elder Wand back, or the accumulated temptation would affect him further.

"The Elder Wand was made by Antioch Peverell, who was also the first owner of the Elder Wand. In the process of manufacturing, he received help from a powerful creature, and a contract began to take effect in the Elder Wand. In order to ensure that the contract was effected as soon as possible, the powerful creature lured Antioch everywhere to show off and killed him. Fitch said to Ollivanders, "I don't know the name of that powerful creature, and the wand doesn't keep track of it. ”

"Then why are there two?"

"It does come from another wizarding world. Exactly the same as this wizarding world, only a little different in details. The corners of Feiqi's mouth curled slightly: "This is so interesting, it will change a lot of things." ”
