Chapter 36: Still a pit

It took Zhang Jin nearly a month to read the Ollivanders' "Staff" notes, and I have to say that there are still some things that Ollivander has inherited for thousands of years, although the study is wand making, but some of the knowledge of magical beasts mentioned in it is also very helpful to Zhang Jin.

You must know that Severus has never had a long experience from going to school at Hogwarts to graduating, and becoming Zhang Jin, let alone any off-campus adventures, and the knowledge of magical creatures he has mastered is all learned in the school's magical beast protection class and seen in books.

Some of this knowledge is specious, some are unknown, and even the descriptions in different books are different, which is very unsafe for Zhang Jin who plans to go out on an adventure, you don't know which one is right? This leads to many unknown dangers from these creatures.

After all, there is no guarantee that you will encounter anything when you go out.

And Ollivander's notes are a good supplement to this knowledge, especially on some magical beasts with powerful magical powers, Ollivander's notes are particularly detailed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Jin's understanding of dangerous creatures has surpassed Hagrid.

And Hagrid, although his knowledge of those animals is somewhat partial, cannot deny his talent, he is madly obsessed with ferocious and magical creatures.

Just compared to Newt, the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Scamander is probably far from it.

The ancestors of the Ollivander family studied magical beasts, and what parts could be used to make wands? How to take it off, how to save it, and so on.

Ollivanders' notes contain examples of various magical beasts, but seems to be more fond of powerful magical beasts.

This may be because the more powerful the magical beast, the easier it is to make a wand, and the success rate and compatibility of the wand will be higher, and the power will be much stronger.

It also involves many fantastic animals that are now extinct or almost never found, such as the extinct Scottish Red Dragon, a dragon species that originally lived in Great Britain with the Welsh Green Dragon, and it is larger and more ferocious than the Welsh Green Dragon, almost the most powerful Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon today.

In particular, the legend of King Arthur has the blood of a red dragon, which makes Zhang Jin attach more importance to this information.

It's just a pity that the information about these magical beasts becomes less and less in the future, or even disappears, and it may be that later Ollivander directly used the materials provided by others or hunted materials by others.

So the latter part is mainly about the treatment of different materials and how to enhance the degree of integration between the core and the body.

The way of dealing with these materials here makes Zhang Jin have a refreshing feeling, which is much richer than ordinary cutting and scraping, and even makes Zhang Jin a little bit of the intimacy of the eighteen martial arts and thirty-six techniques in China, and the kind of way that can cut twelve different ways just by cutting vegetables is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The way these materials are handled can also be very useful in crafting potions, not only to show off their skills, but also to unleash the magic in the materials as much as possible.

In terms of the treatment of hair, tendons, heartstrings, and other materials suitable for making wands, Ollivander's ancestors reached the point of perfection.

Zhang Jin saw more than forty different ways to deal with the unicorn's tail hair, and finally came up with the most suitable method for making a wand.

I don't know how much material these studies have taken and how many Ollivanders' lives have been spent, these are some rare experiences.

These experiences make Zhang Jin feel that it doesn't matter if he learns wand making or not, these experiences are absolutely worthwhile, with these experiences, not only is he more confident in going out to adventure, but also has a great help in potion making and the improvement of potions, and it is even enough to make Zhang Jin's potion production level rise to another level.

And Zhang Jin doesn't seem to have paid anything.

This feeling of being rewarded without paying is super cool!

However, the fly in the ointment is that a month has not made Zhang Jin's perception of the wand any progress, although he has felt the emotions of those wands, it is almost impossible to feel more.

Zhang Jin is not like Ollivander who can observe the process of choosing a wand from a young wizard, and it is impossible for other wizards to give him a wand, especially since he doesn't seem to be very likable.

So these days, Zhang Jin can only feel his own magic wand, and in the perception of his magic wand, it seems that those fluctuations are still slowly changing, and they are a little different from the original.

The original fluctuation Ollivander said that it was a contradiction and a struggle, but what is it now? How to know without comparison!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Ollivanders' perception method?

How does this method of perception of the need to contrast, the need to have a standard object, determine that standard?

Although Ollivander is talking about the accumulation of experience, how can those wands be used as a standard collection?

Is it just because the fluctuations are stronger?

This made Zhang Jin think of other things.

For example, even before they knew the meaning of this fluctuation, many wizards instinctively sensed that something was wrong when they came into contact with something.

The most typical thing is that any wizard can feel the eerie and terrifying imminent death when he sees the Avada Suo Curse, which is a palpable feeling of death.

This is not something that can only be obtained with a standard reference, this is the most intuitive feeling of every wizard.

Combined with the fact that the Avada Curse must be released with a strong determination to kill the other party, that is, a strong will to kill the other party, does this mean that only the will is strong enough to be felt.

And you can naturally understand the meaning of the will.

It's like mythological characters who can communicate with all things, and those gods are born to know, or know everything, and so on.

These are supposed to be the result of an exchange of wills.

Zhang Jin doesn't believe that those gods and legendary characters will also learn to experience fluctuations, compare the meaning of fluctuations and the like, they must be able to directly perceive the meaning conveyed by the will.

So Ollivander's method is just a shortcut to not that level, and it's a very limited shortcut.

This can be said to be another pitfall, a pit that Ollivander himself does not know, and shortcuts will always limit people from finding the right path.

Is it because Dumbledore didn't learn how to make a wand from Ollivander?

However, this method is not all bad for Zhang Jin, at least it can make people perceive the will in advance and be more sensitive to the fluctuations of the will.

What's more, this method allows Zhang Jin to perceive other wills in the soul in his body!
