Chapter 5: Wands
Faced with the question mentioned by Ollivander, Louis looked unchanged on the surface, but was somewhat speechless in his heart.
Why... Similar to a hidden person, he likes to ask some inexplicable questions when he meets people?
Could it be that as one of the best staff makers in the HP world, Ollivanders is really a bit mentally retarded?
Possibly.
Anyway, Louis felt that the question raised by Ollivander at this time was a very unnutritious question.
If there were no wizards in the world, the only use for wands might be to buy two and make do with chopsticks.
Therefore, the answer that Louis hid in his heart must be the argument of the wizard choosing his wand.
Of course.
Based on his limited knowledge of the HP world, Louis knew that Ollivander's argument was the opposite of him, arguing that the wand would choose wizards.
Louis felt that it would be better to be more subtle in answering the question he had raised, so he replied as if he had not been asked:
"Sir, I prefer to be on it."
"Upper?"
Ollivander nodded thoughtfully, a little reminiscence gradually appeared in his eyes, and after a long silence, he suddenly sighed:
"Mr. Rogers, actually... It feels good down there. ”
Louis: "..."
I think you're a man with a story!
Louis was silent, and Ollivander shook his head and smiled, "Talking about the wand, Mr. Rogers, what is your dominant hand?" ”
"Right."
"Wait a minute, I'll measure it for you."
Ollivander used a tape measure to measure Louie's measurements, from his shoulders to his fingertips, from his wrists to his elbows, which gave Louis the illusion that he was not here to buy a wand, but to order a shoulder from Ollivanders.
After a few minutes, Ollivanders finished measuring Louis and smiled confidently: "In my shop, every Ollivanders wand has an extraordinary magical substance, and this is precisely their essence. ”
As he spoke, Ollivander pointed at a seemingly random flick, and one of the thousands of boxes in the store floated in the air and fell into his hand.
Opening the boxy box, Ollivander took out his wand and introduced:
"Mister Rogers, 13 inches, rosewood, unicorn feathers, try it."
"Well, good!"
Taking the wand from Ollivander, Louis gently held it in the palm of his hand, and as the magic power entered the wand with great precision, he slowly closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in that part of the magic power.
The other side.
Seeing that Louis had been holding the wand for a long time, but the wand did not respond, Ollivanders frowned slightly, turned to re-summon the box, took out another wand, and told Louie to change the wand and try it.
"12 inches, walnut, dragon tendons... No, no, no! ”
"10 inches, ebony, snake nerves... No, no, no! ”
"13 inches, gold wool, Mei Wa's hair... No, no, no! ”
“………………”
An hour later.
At the rate of changing wands every three seconds, Louis Zero always changed hundreds of wands for testing, but unfortunately the results ended in failure in the eyes of Ollivander, which made him a little desperate.
However, just as Ollivander hesitated to tell Louie that he was likely to be a Squib, who would have thought that Louie would suddenly step forward, pick up the wand that was 13 inches long, made of holly wood and dragon heart, and smiled:
"Sir, I think this wand suits me better, how many Galleons do I need?"
"Mister Rogers, you... Are you sure? ”
Ollivander glanced at Louis suspiciously, but he clearly remembered that Louis had no effect when he used this wand!
But as a businessman, ahem...
If you like it, it's fine.
Eventually, Louis asked Sophia for 13 gold galleons, bought a suitable wand from Ollivanders, and was given a calfskin holster for the wand, and left the shop under Ollivanders' slightly confused gaze.
"Maybe that little guy is trying to prove... He's not a squib, is he? ”
Watching Louie's figure disappear in front of the shop, Ollivander thought with a slightly sympathetic face.
And Louie, who bought the wand, was naturally lazy to take care of him.
In fact, if time permitted, Louis would have been willing to stay in the Ollivanders store for a while to see if any of the remaining wands in his store had a higher mana amplification.
That's right.
Mana Amplification.
Louis had been in the Ollivander shop, testing countless wands to come to his conclusions.
Perhaps Ollivander is right, wizards in the HP world do not have the right to choose wands, but wands choose wizards, which may have something to do with the source of most wizards' magic.
From Louie's personal point of view, the group of guys who can use magic in the HP world are not so much wizards as bloodline warlocks, and the magic contained in their bodies is likely to come from some kind of magical creature.
What did the wizard ancestors and magical creatures do in the specific HP world, and what methods did they use to awaken the magic of their bloodline descendants, Louie, who had read the memory fragments of stray cats in heat, expressed no interest.
The only thing that interested Louie at this time was whether he could use any wand at will, and whether it was related to his special magic cultivation method!
Holding each wand in Ollivander's shop, Louis can manipulate the mana output at will, with the difference being that each wand increases his mana slightly differently.
Wands with a smaller mana increase are between 10% and 15%.
Most wands have a mana increase of more than 20% and less than 30%.
In the end, the wand that Louis selected in the Ollivanders store was the only wand in the test wand that increased its magic power by more than 40%, floating between 43% and 46%.
Therefore, the wand gave Louis the feeling of being more of an equipment than a necessity for casting magic.
This means...
Any spell that Louis masters in the future can be cast in the form of a wandless spell?
Possibly.
For the time being, Louie didn't think too much about it.
After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, Louie, accompanied by Jason and Sophia, bought some miscellaneous items needed to go to Hogwarts, such as three plain overalls (black), a plain peaked hat (black) to wear during the day, protective gloves (made of dragon skin or similar materials), and crystal vials and other things.
After buying all the miscellaneous items, the highlight came in, which was the magic book that Louie desperately needed.
The Blotted Bookstore is located next door to Madame Morkin's robes shop.
In the Blotted Bookstore, if he were to buy books according to Louie's personal wishes, he would like to have a copy of every book he wants, except for some books that are completely useless to him, such as "The Magic of Toasting", "Enchanting Your Cheese", and "Quidditch Tracing the Origins".
In particular, the "Standard Spells" series written by Miranda Goshawk and the "Guide to Transfiguration" series written by Adbay Wolflin are a series of books that Louis wants to buy a complete set and collect them at home to read at one time.
However, the Wizarding World has a better sense of copyright, the price of books about magic is slightly higher, and Jason did not have enough Galleons from Gringotts in pounds, so Louis can only reluctantly leave the Blotsis after buying the textbooks used in the first year of Hogwarts.
"It's okay."
Before leaving Diagon Alley and going home, Louis said to himself:
"When I have time to come back to Diagon Alley, I will simply soak in the bookstore of Lijing, whether I can understand the knowledge points recorded in the book or not, and memorize all the contents of each book first."
At this thought, Louie's resentment towards Garon's lack of resentment has undoubtedly decreased a lot.
However, just before leaving Diagon Alley, Louis was about to experiment with the simple casting of magic powers, and whether he could open the door back to the Leaky Cauldron without the need for a wand, when Louie suddenly heard a passionate voice behind Jason and Sophia saying:
"Hey!"
"Sorry, please wait!"
"Are you Muggles, please?"
