Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wand
The Prophet Daily newspaper office consists of two parts, the front part is a store that sells newspapers from the early days of the newspaper to the day of the newspaper, and the back part is the newspaper headquarters.
Ye Siyu didn't go to read the newspapers, and went directly to the store counter, in front of the elderly staff who were looking at the latest newspaper.
"If you want to buy a newspaper here, if you want to check historical information, you can ask the information counter over there, and if you want to break the news, you can go to the back." , The old man wearing reading glasses did not raise his head to briefly introduce a few words, and his attention was all on the newspaper.
Ye Siyu glanced at the old man and walked directly to the place where he asked about historical information.
In addition to investigating the information that Koizumi Hongzi couldn't get from the wizarding world, the main purpose of coming here was to investigate the time period where this world was located.
Ye Siyu only knows the first Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone and the second secret room, as for the later series, he only knows a little, not comprehensive, he must investigate what time period the world is in to better plan how to act next.
If he hasn't started the plot he knows, then he will step in and plan a magic item for himself.
If the plot he knows is over, then he will do his best to obtain the specific information of all the high-level magic items, and then regenerate.
Of course, the premise is that the time of his rebirth is the time period when the plot has not yet begun, otherwise, he will not be reborn, but directly intervene in the plot.
The so-called information desk is a picture of the soul of an old man who, like the old man at the counter, reads the newspaper there, and it seems that the employees of this newspaper are people who like to read.
"What do you want to inquire about, sir?" , Seeing Ye Siyu walking in front of him, the old man in the photo was still focused on reading, but he didn't forget to ask Ye Siyu about the visitor.
"Harry Potter." , Ye Siyu didn't care about the old man's attitude, and directly asked the question he wanted to know.
"Whew! Swish! ”
As Ye Siyu's words fell, the two old men who had been reading the newspaper suddenly put down the newspaper and raised their heads to look at Ye Siyu.
At this glance, the two of them showed puzzled looks on their faces and began to think about something.
"Don't you have any reports on Harry Potter here?" Faced with the reaction of the two old men, Ye Siyu repeated his question again.
"Nope."
"What are you looking for a Harry Potter report?"
The two old men asked one after the other, looking at Ye Siyu's eyes from the previous vigilance to vigilance, extremely unfriendly, as if they were going to do something to Ye Siyu.
Seeing this, Ye Siyu's brows furrowed, he didn't expect the reaction of these two old men to be so big, and they looked like they were treating themselves as enemies.
"Is there anything wrong with me?" , Ye Siyu frowned and asked, this situation he had just encountered in the Broken Cauldron Bar, but he just thought it was a regular move of the wizarding society towards strangers.
According to statistics, the number of magicians with names and surnames in the whole of Britain is less than 5,000, and it is indeed easy for a stranger to appear to attract the attention of others, but it is definitely unusual to be hostile as soon as he appears like this.
"Who are you?" , The old man in the photo did not answer Ye Siyu's question, but asked in a deep voice.
"I'm a warlock from Huaxia, Ye Siyu." , Ye Siyu introduced himself, he also understood that the other party was extremely wary of him now, and in order to obtain information, he also tried his best to show his friendliness.
The two old men glanced at each other, as if they were asking each other if they knew Ye Siyu's information, and finally they made eye contact to determine that there was no information about Ye Siyu.
"It turned out to be a warlock from the mysterious East, no wonder." , the glasses old man thought for a while and then whispered.
"Is there anything wrong with me being a warlock?" , Ye Siyu asked rhetorically, for the oriental magicians in this world, Ye Siyu's information came from Koizumi Hongzi's mouth, but Koizumi Hongzi didn't know much about warlocks.
If the mystery of the magicians in each region is ranked in the wizarding world, the warlocks in Huaxia will definitely be able to enter the top three, if it weren't for the fact that there will be oriental warlocks in the wizarding world every once in a while, many people think that the warlocks have become extinct.
Therefore, Koizumi Hongzi's understanding of warlocks is limited to some rumors passed on by word of mouth, and he doesn't know what the real warlock is.
"England and China are not the same......", the old man in the photo immediately explained to Ye Siyu why their previous attitude was so weird.
From the explanations of the two old men, Ye Siyu probably understood what was going on.
Because Ye Siyu learned 'magic' and became a magician, he also exudes the aura of a magician, but Ye Siyu is different from the magicians of this world, the magicians of this world are not good at elemental magic, but more of that kind of mysterious and mysterious causal magic, Ye Siyu, an elemental magician, appears in this group of magicians like a wolf appears in the husky group, which is incompatible with them.
Ye Siyu's own attribute is biased towards darkness, and he gives people the feeling of being a completely undisguised dark wizard, which is very eye-catching.
In addition, Ye Siyu is not from this world, it is okay before he becomes a magician, at most, he will be noticed by people with keen intuition like Koizumi Hongzi, but after becoming a magician, the difference between the rest of this world is magnified a lot, and it is easier to attract people's attention.
But fortunately, these magicians didn't think that Ye Siyu was not in this world, and more regarded Ye Siyu as a dark wizard who cultivated evil magic or a magician who studied strange things.
The group of magicians who like to study strange magic the most in this world are the warlocks and onmyoji of the East and the witch doctors of small tribes in Africa, and it is not strange for people to feel this kind of dark wizard, so after knowing that Ye Siyu is a warlock from the East, he is no longer as vigilant as before.
"Mr. Ye, why do you want to know about Harry Potter's report?" , the old man with glasses said the previous question again.
Before, he thought that Ye Siyu was Voldemort's dark wizard's subordinates, you must know that Voldemort is a taboo in the entire wizarding world, and whoever has anything to do with it will be investigated by the Ministry of Magic, so he is very vigilant, so as not to implicate himself, and now he knows that Ye Siyu is just a warlock, not a dark wizard, so it doesn't matter if he tells the other party about these problems, it won't cause trouble.
However, the Harry Potter news is not the other news, and they still have to ask to confirm.
"I'm just curious about what kind of person is the one who can kill the Dark Lord." , Ye Siyu said perfunctorily.
Hearing Ye Siyu's answer, the old man with glasses nodded, most of the people who came to find Harry Potter news were just like Ye Siyu, just curious.
"Just rude." , After confirming that Ye Siyu had no problem, the old man with glasses saluted Ye Siyu, and then returned to his seat, while the old man in the photo manipulated one newspaper after another to float in front of Ye Siyu in the painting, "Sheng Hui 1 copper nat." ”
Currency in the wizarding world is not ordinary paper money, but a magical coin made of rare metal, 1 gold Galleon = 17 silver sicos, 1 silver sike = 29 copper nats.
Because mermaids have a very rare relationship in this era of declining magic, mermaid scales are very precious magic materials on the market, so Ye Siyu used mermaid scales to exchange a lot of coins from Koizumi Hongzi before coming to the UK, which is enough to support Ye Siyu's life in the magic world.
After Ye Siyu took the newspaper, he left the newspaper office directly, and randomly found a magic restaurant to sit down and start reading the newspaper.
In this regard, Ye Siyu didn't care, and even had some expectations, thinking that someone would come to trouble him, so he would have an excuse to get some benefits.
It's just that the magicians in Diagon Alley are obviously some regular magicians, and before they are sure that Ye Siyu is a dangerous person, they will not do anything to Ye Siyu, at most they will be vigilant and distance themselves from Ye Siyu.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Siyu finished reading all the newspapers about Harry Potter.
He found that the plot of the time he came into this world had indeed not yet begun, but that was two years ago, and it was already the end of 1992, and he had already missed the plot of the Philosopher's Stone and the secret room that he was familiar with, and the next was all the plot of the drama with only a slight impression, and it seemed that he had to be reborn this time.
However, Ye Siyu is not in a hurry to be reborn, he can now collect the magic props of this world and determine where the bottom line of the world's will is, and it is not too late to be reborn after doing this.
After Ye Siyu ate the somewhat strange magic food, he left the restaurant and headed for his next target, the Ollivanders Wand Shop.
Although Ye Siyu can use magic even if he doesn't use a wand, he still has a sense of obscurity when casting spells without a wand, no matter what kind of magician he is in this world, he will have a magic wand, and without a wand, then he can't cast magic.
In order to perfectly pretend to be a magician, Ye Siyu also needs a wand, and in England, if you want to buy a good wand, everyone will recommend the other party to the Ollivanders wand shop, which was founded in 382 BC.
Ollivander was one of the top three wand makers in Europe, and many foreigners came to London to buy one of his wands, rather than buying it locally.
Ollivanders Wand is a cramped, cramped, shabby little shop that's easy to find in the obvious location of Diagon Alley.
You can see a magic wand on a faded purple mat in front of the window, and the cabinets that reach to the ceiling in the store are filled with thousands of magic wands in long, narrow boxes, from which Ye Siyu can feel strong or weak energy fluctuations.
Ye Siyu felt that as long as he kept this store for himself, then he would be able to complete at least half of his task.
Of course, the heart is heartbeat, Ye Siyu is not arrogant enough to feel that he can ignore all the powerhouses in this world.
If he wants to snatch this shop, he will at least have to wait until he has figured out the magic of this world before he can do it.
"Hello, sir." , The wand shop owner Ollivanders was stunned after seeing Ye Siyu come in, and then greeted politely, for him, everyone who came in was a guest, and his favorite thing was to choose a wand for the guest to match it.
As for who the other party was, he didn't care much.
"I want to buy a wand." , Ye Siyu said directly.
"Please wait." , Ollivander said as he pulled out a tape measure from the cabinet.
Ollivanders will choose from this to find the right wand for each customer, and the wand buyer will first measure the length of the wand's arm, forearm, height, head circumference, etc., and then select the wand based on these parameters.
Each wand is different because they use different unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers, and dragon and snake nerves as the core of the wand, and different quality wood for the wand body, these are all powerful magic items, each wizard is suitable for different wands, if you use a wand that should belong to other wizards, you will not achieve the desired effect.
Soon, Ollivander helped Ye Siyu measure these parameters, and then took out one from many boxes, and then handed Ye Siyu a black wand inside, "This is a wand that uses the black water snake nerve as the core of the wand and some magic materials, and it took me half a year to make, I think it should be suitable for you." ”
Ye Siyu took the wand and could feel that this was a wand close to the planetary level, which was already a very high-level wand.
"Wave it, please." , Ollivander saw that Ye Siyu didn't move after taking the wand, so he reminded.
Ye Siyu nodded, and then waved his wand.
At the moment when Ye Siyu waved his wand, Ye Siyu felt that the wand was extracting his magic power.
This is the principle of the wand, and anyone holding a wand can use the wand to release it even if it is the first time to contact magic.
Just when Ye Siyu understood the principle of the wand, a scene that surprised him and Ollivander appeared.
"Bang!"
I saw that as soon as the wand in Ye Siyu's hand waved, the entire wand exploded, turning from a magical wand into a useless burning stick.
"How so?" , Ollivander stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Although the wand appeared to be very fragile and was just a wooden stick, he cast a spell on it to increase its hardness when he made it, which would normally be difficult to destroy unless it was subjected to a great impact.
And now it suddenly exploded, which was the first time he had encountered it since he opened the store.
Ye Siyu was also a little dazed about this, he didn't understand what was going on, he didn't do anything just now.
