Ollivanders was extremely happy after knowing that Zhang Jin could sense the emotions of different wands, as if he was relieved, which made Zhang Jin feel that there was something wrong with his heart.

Is this the daily life of a master? Those who don't have a little neuropathy are embarrassed to call masters?

However, Ollivanders finally began to explain, "It's been almost a hundred years, at first I was looking for it in the Ollivanders family, and then there were many children who were recommended, and they didn't match, and now there is finally one that does." ”

Ollivander suddenly began to talk about the legacy of the Wand Shop.

"It has been more than two thousand three years since the Ollivanders wand shop was passed down to my generation, and I have been taking over the shop for more than sixty years, I have never worried about the inheritance of the wand shop, but the only daughter of my descendants who has the talent of making wands has died, and no one else has inherited the talent of the Ollivanders family to make wands, and finally in order for the little wizards to buy wands smoothly, I agree with the Ministry of Magic to arrange an apprentice, but this talent must also be had."

"However, it was only today that I met a wizard who was gifted and willing to learn how to make wands, Severus. Snape, I want you to pass on the Ollivanders' wand-making craft, can you promise me? ”

Ollivander couldn't help but shed a few tears as he spoke, and the old man was afraid that as long as he couldn't find a successor, and the Ollivanders' wand-making skills were about to be lost, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Like now, he was getting excited again, but not with joy, but with his lips pursed, tears in his eyes, and trembling arms.

The silver-white eyes with tears look particularly tear-jerking and touching.

When you look at Ollivander, you can think of the image of a lonely old man who has been guarding his life's work and waiting for his successor.

Just like some of the intangible cultural skills that are now uninherited, they are facing loss and destruction.

Looking at Ollivanders' old face and silver-white eyes with tears, Zhang Jin said, "I can't! ”

Then, perhaps feeling a little unreasonable, Zhang Jin added a more appropriate reason, "I don't have so many gold gallons to buy these materials." ”

That's right, Zhang Jin is still very tough and incomprehensible to refuse, and the reason for refusal is very appropriate, that is, he is poor and can't afford to play.

The wands and materials in that room yard to ceiling not only looked spectacular, but the gold gallons it cost were estimated to be spectacular, which was definitely more than the little stock in the Harry Potter vault, and it was also a loss-making business, which was completely beyond Zhang Jin's ability to play.

"You don't have to worry about this," Ollivander said as if he saw Zhang Jin's doubts, "These materials are provided by the Ministry of Magic for free, and you can ask the Ministry of Magic to provide any materials you need." ”

That's why wands are so cheap? It's because the Ministry of Magic also considers that the pricing is too expensive, and there will be little wizards like the Weasleys who can't afford wands, so they simply subsidize the materials, and the little wizards who buy them only need to pay for the hand.

That's probably it.

It's no wonder that the Ministry of Magic was able to get Ollivanders to add traces to every wand, and it turns out that these wands also have the contribution of the Ministry of Magic.

But with so many and expensive materials stacked on the ceiling, are the people at the Ministry of Magic as insane as Ollivander?

However, Zhang Jin still refused.

Although those magic materials seemed so tempting, although Zhang Jin himself also wanted to learn how to make wands, and although Ollivanders looked so pitiful and helpless, Zhang Jin did not plan to make wands here for the rest of his life.

And don't ignore the abnormal wizard lifespan in the wizarding world:

Dumbledore was once speculated by Harry and Ron to live for more than 150 years (116 years old according to official sources), and eventually died not of natural causes, but of the Avada Curse.

Dumbledore's friend Nicol. Not to mention Lemay, who lived with his wife for more than six hundred years as the owners of the Philosopher's Stone.

Even normal wizards can live for a long time, such as the veteran patriarch of the Ministry of Magic's Wizengamot, Geselda. Marchband had proctored Dumbledore's Transfiguration exams, and Bathilda, Dumbledore's neighbor and author of the history of magic, had been invigilated. Bassat is Albus. Friends of Dumbledore's parents, they were all older than Dumbledore's.

Even if it's Garrick. Ollivanders himself lived until the time when Harry Potter's children went to school, which means that he would live for at least thirty years.

Therefore, the lifespan of wizards is still very long, but because Voldemort's dark activities have caused the death of many wizards of the older generation, so we rarely see those older wizards.

For example, Harry's grandparents and Ron's grandparents, etc.

In other words, unless it is an accidental death, Ollivander still has a lot of time to find a successor, maybe there will be someone among his grandchildren and great-grandchildren at that time?!

Zhang Jin didn't want to make a staff for the rest of his life!!

Maybe Ollivander didn't expect Zhang Jin to refuse so simply, which caused the two to be embarrassed for a while.

In the end, it was Oliveandra who opened up a new topic, "Then you can experience these emotions more, from your own wand, and then read the wand making notes downstairs, and I'll teach you after you're done." ”

Ollivander's tone was a little cold, it is estimated that he has not eased up yet, he was originally rushing to cultivate heirs, and he has already decided in his heart, since he is not a heir, why are he so enthusiastic?

Zhang Jin obviously doesn't care about Ollivander's attitude, he wants to climb to the top of magic in the future, and he can learn how to make a wand, he is not in the mood to spend his whole life making a wand.

I don't have this hobby at all!

Therefore, Zhang Jin planned to take the notes and leave directly, and then go out to see the owl store later, and buy an owl on the way.

And when he saw that Zhang Jin was about to leave like this, Ollivander still asked unwillingly, "Don't you really think about it?" All you need to do is pass on the wand-making craft when Ollivanders has no heirs. ”

"You're not just going to be too lazy to spend time looking for a successor, are you?" Zhang Jin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the old man's motives.

First of all, Ollivander must know more about the problem of lifespan, and to be honest, as a wand is a necessary weapon for wizards, Zhang Jin doesn't think that the wand-making technique will not be passed on at all, and he doesn't need to be so anxious at all.

And seeing Ollivander's embarrassed smile, well, sure enough, this wand-obsessed wizard probably taught one and didn't want to spend time teaching another, isn't it good to spend the rest of his time studying wands?

And to put it mildly, Zhang Jin, as a potions master, has a high level of alchemy, and learning wand making is definitely a piece of cake, and he doesn't even need Ollivander's guidance, just go home and read the notes and practice by himself.

Ollivander must have thought of this as well.

I was almost cheated by this old man!
