Chapter 395 Wand Affinity

"Come on, don't worry, you don't need to pay for the wand that was destroyed during the trial. Ollivander said as he quickly removed another box from the shelf and removed the wand from it. "Try this one, hawthorn wood, cat's beard, eleven and a third inches long, straight. Oh, and if you break it on purpose, you'll still have to pay for it. ”

If it hadn't been for Ollivander adding that, Feige would have broken his wand. He didn't come here to "buy" a wand, but to find out what a wizard's wand was all about. Each wizard has their own wand to cast spells from, and without that their magical abilities are insignificant, and they can no longer cast fast, complex, and powerful spells.

"No, this one isn't for you, it's not a cat. But why do I always think you're related to cats? Or maybe I'm old. Ollivander withdrew his wand from Feige's hand, and it flew back into the box on its own, closing the lid on it. At the same time, he took out another one: "Maybe cedar wood can better suit your magic, let's try this one!"

As soon as the wand was placed in Feige's hand, it was taken back by Ollivanders. "No, it's still not right. Well...... Interesting, I seem to be looking in the wrong direction. Try this one, ebony, for magicians with powerful attacks. ”

As a result, the ebony wand was drained by Ollivander at a faster rate, and Feige didn't even have time to hold it. "Wait a minute, you just put it on like this, and you'll know if the wand is suitable?

"Different woods are suitable for mages with different personalities, and the material of the rod core inside adjusts their magical characteristics. As for the shape, hardness, elasticity of the wand, they are related to the casting habits, but don't worry too much about them, the wand adapts and makes changes. The wand that works best for you will suit you for the rest of your life. ”

Personality, magic traits, and spell-casting habits?Fei Qi had some ideas, then pushed away another wand that Ollivander handed over, and said, "Do you have one of those wands here that is not designed to fit in with the master, but is specially used to practice spellcasting?"

"You mean apprentice's wands? I have a few here in case I need them, but I won't sell them. Ollivander shook his head vigorously: "Your Majesty, can you go out with an apprentice wand! ”

"Give it to me, I haven't used a wand before, I have to have a place to start. Allow me to get used to it for a while before I move on to picking out my wand. Feige's smile relieved Ollivanders. "If I don't control it well and the magic explodes and blows this place up, it's definitely not good. ”

Ollivander carefully put the wand back in his hand, then took out a cloth bag from under the counter, untied the rope on it, and spread out the rolled cloth, which was wrapped in a dozen almost identical wands. "It's made of artificial wood, and inside is the chest hair of the troll under the bridge as the core of the staff. Trolls under the bridge can regenerate continuously, so their chest hair is an inexhaustible resource. ”

"What is artificial wood?"

"The corners of all kinds of wood, the bark that can't be used, or the sawdust that is processed are broken up, mixed together, glued and squeezed, and made into this cone-shaped wand. They work, but they don't work well. A wand that fits you should be slightly warm in the palm of your hand, like the warmth of a child's forehead as it snuggles there. Ollivander explained.

Feige picked up his practice wand, cold, hard, and even a little awkward. Of course, it was just a feeling that his devil skin could withstand the sword and would not be touched by the wood at all. "Teach me a mantra, the simplest kind. Oh, it's better to act on myself, lest the situation get out of control. ”

"How about cleaning it up? No, no, I can't see the effect. Ollivander thought for a moment and said, "Lumos, fluorescent flickering would be more appropriate." Then a light tap of the wand will do. ”

"Lumos," such a short spell isn't hard to remember, "don't you think it's strange that I've never used magic to buy a wand?"

"Oh, there are so many magicians who come to buy wands when they're still children have nothing to do with whether or not they're starting to learn magic. The famous Harry, who knew almost nothing about magic and wizards when he walked into the shop, didn't stop me from picking him the perfect wand for him!"

Feige nodded, raised his wand and placed it in front of his eyes, and gathered all his mana to focus on the wand and observe it. "Lumos", the wand moved forward slightly, and no fluorescence appeared.

"SUA!" Feige changed his spell and flicked his wand, this time finally changing. Dozens of boxes floated into the air at the same time in the direction of the wand tap, spinning slowly and unfettered, as if they had entered a state of weightlessness. Then Fitch pressed his wand downward, and the boxes quickly returned to their original positions. Except for kicking up a puff of dust, it was as if they never left.

"I've never heard of Your Majesty's incantation, but it's clear that you can use a wandβ€”as I first perceived it. Ollivander said as he grabbed the wand from Feige's hand and tried to remove it.

"Don't worry. Feige easily dodged his fingers and pressed the wand he had just used to his head, making it easier to sense the changes. Seeing this scene, Ollivander became a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your mana is very strong, and the wand will be forced to adapt. The best wand for you couldn't be a practice wand!"

"Interesting. Feige lowered the previous one at his own pace, then picked up another practice wand. He slammed his wand to the ground: "SUA!" The surging mana was fired, and nearly a hundred boxes of wands around Feige were all floating, and the shelves were rattling, as if trying to break free from the reinforced nails and break free from the shackles of the floor. Thankfully, Feige withdrew his mana, shook his wand and put it back, and the flying things returned.

"Amazing control, such a person should use a black walnut wand, and then a thunderbird tail feather. I happen to have one like this, let me get it for you and try it!" Ollivander tried to put away the practice wand, but it didn't escape Feiqi's eyes.

"Thank you, I'll just come by myself. Feige summoned the magic matrix in his right hand and immediately took control of his surroundings. The practice wands flew into the air, nimble like a flock of hummingbirds, always dodging Ollivander's aged fingers. "Please, go get that wand, I'm looking at these practice wands for a while. I can buy them all, don't worry. ”

Ollivander opened his mouth slightly, but didn't seem to know what to say, and after sighing, he hurried to find the wand mentioned earlier. Xia Ni tilted her head to look at his back, and then said to Feiqi, "He has no ill intentions, and the emotions shown by his body language are all worried about you." That's a kind and good person, and it's for your own good to persuade you like this. ”

"I know he's telling the truth. You can look at body language, I can look at the soul, and Ollivanders is a pure, strong and kind person, a little paranoid at best. With a flick of his right wrist, the wands that flew into the air began to spin around his forearm, each pointing forward, like a fully wounded chain of crossbows.

"You can't, you can't......" Feige raised his left hand, his fingers tapped in the air, and a few wands left the queue and returned to the wrapping, and lay quietly. "Well, it's kind of interesting, and it really works. ”

"What did you find?" asked Shani.

"Wands aren't the source of a wizard's spell-casting abilities, it's nothing like my soul wand. Feige said, "Mr. Ollivander revealed some information when he introduced the wand just now, and the wand will be suitable for the personality, magic characteristics, and spell-casting habits. The casting habit is also the feel, and the wand will be adjusted in a short time after that, which is the so-called wand of life. As difficult as it is, a person's personality can also change, and that's not the most important thing. It's the magic that really makes all the difference. ”

"Everyone's spell has a trace, as long as you are proficient in the spell, you can perceive the personal characteristics in the spell, which is a more accurate method of identification than fingerprints. I can morph in many forms, but my mana characteristics remain the same - as long as my soul doesn't change. ”

"So, the wizard's wand can recognize the characteristics of magic, in fact, it is adapting to the soul. The soul is the driving force that changes the world, and magic, mana, and other power systems are only means. The wand around Feige's arm spun faster and faster, but strangely did not make any sound, as if the air had avoided them and had not formed the wind. "I have the Magic Matrix, a means of power sharpened from my soul that suits me better than any wand. ”

Xia Ni didn't understand a little, so she asked, "So wands are useless to you?"

"Not really. The wand seemed to amplify spells, just like Rogers, the boy who stunned himself with the stone-pumping wand and sent him to the school of magic and wizardry. ”

"You're not in danger, are you? You've said that Rogers almost died, but luckily the Stone Drawing Wand had designed a mana cap early on. ”

"I'm fine. The wand has this effect, and it only works within the limits of my control. My spell, I am the master, not a wand. Feige then stared, controlling the wands for a moment. At this time, Ollivander came over with a wand.

"Try this! Be sure to find the wand that works best for you. ”

"Okay. Feige nodded, flicked his right hand, and the flying practice wands flew back to the wrap. If you look closely, there are a few scorch marks on each practice wand, as if it has been left on an iron stove for some time. Ollivander ignored this detail by hurriedly wrapping them up and stuffing them under the counter.

"Black walnut is suitable for wizards with keen intuition and insight, and while it looks aesthetically pleasing, it is actually not easy to master. As if fearing that Feige would become obsessed with practicing wands, Ollivander pushed harder: "The Thunderbird's tail feathers are powerful in magic, but they are ethereal and difficult to master, and I would only recommend them to wizards with great control and fine manipulation." Since the Ptarmigan mostly lives in North America, this feather has been treasured in the store for a long time, at least 90 years old. At that time, someone was helping a trapped circus ptarmigan return home......"

In other words, this is a wand that has not found its owner and sold it for ninety years. Feige took the black walnut wand, held it lightly and felt it, then returned it to Ollivanders and said, "No, it is a little afraid of me, and a little disgusted with me, and seems to think that the thunder and lightning of the two of us are different. ”

"Merlin's beard, how do you feel it? I feel the same way, but not in such detail! Thunder and lightning are different? What a wonderful description!"

"The wand is alive. "No, that's not accurate," Feige said. I feel that the wand is alive in the hands of the wizard, and it also has its own soul characteristics, but it has no soul energy, and can only wait for the wizard to activate it. Like a puppy with its eyes open, it sniffs its surroundings and looks for its mother. It will look for its mother based on the memory of the soul, and this is how it judges its master. But for it to have that kind of judgment, it depends on the wandmaker's skill, doesn't it?"

"Mr. Hall also knows how to craft magical items?"

"I understand a little. Feige said, "If you're interested, let's talk." I've also invented a toy wand, which might interest you. ”

"That's great! I've heard about toy wands for a long time - they're wands, after all, and I'm sure I'm going to care. It's a pity that there are no wands on this street, and the ones I asked someone to buy haven't been shipped yet. It's a celebration to meet the Maker now - I didn't know you invented it, I thought it was some wizard under you, after all, you're the Emperor. Ollivander's face was red with excitement, he rubbed it vigorously, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Whew...... But the most important thing is to find the right wand for you!"

He took out a number of wands for Feige to test one by one, but each one was almost meaningless, and did not meet the standard. Feige thought about it, and said that his current appearance was wearing a protective disguise, which might affect Ollivander's judgment. So he took the initiative to take off the Iron Golem mask and re-measure and select. After this time, the wand's obedience and adaptability improved, but it still didn't touch the "fateful" wand.

But Feige wasn't without his gains. The more he touched his wand, the clearer he felt about the magic device. With his superior mana sense, he was occasionally quicker than Ollivanders to determine if a wand was right for him. "You'll be a better wandmaster than I am. Ollivander said, "It's not difficult to make a wand, it's the ability to sense." If you're familiar with my shelves, you've probably found the right wand for you. ”

"Haha, it's hard to get familiar with your shelves here. So many wands...... Your backlog here is a bit serious!"

"No way, there are too few wizards, and there are fewer and fewer of them. Ollivander shook his head and said, "You are not from the wizarding world, I will tell you, don't take it to heart, and don't say it......"

"I'm the best at keeping secrets. ”

"It's not a secret, it's just some idea. Ollivander said: "Before, wizards had a dispute between pure-blood and half-blood, which led to a great war, and many excellent wizards died, which is already a loss. Then, now there is a dispute between the wizarding world and the main world of the earth, and they have to separate and separate. If we continue to classify, distinguish, and separate in this way, what else will be left? The number of people is getting smaller and smaller, and the bloodlines are becoming more and more concentrated, and soon they will follow in the footsteps of the house-elves. ”

What does this have to do with house-elves? Could it be that when the bloodline is too concentrated, there will be house-elves? Feige didn't dare to imagine that picture, he intuitively felt that he should have misunderstood. After Ollivander finished speaking, his heavy mood improved a little, and he took out a few more wands, but they still didn't fit.

"Why don't you take a break, I'll try what I just came up with. Fitch said to Ollivanders, "As someone who can use spells and control souls, I'll see if I can take the initiative to find and call on the wand that suits me best." ”
