Chapter 338: Coercion
Chapter 338 Coercion
Fortunately, Su Zimo didn't intend to treat it as one of his hole cards, otherwise he wouldn't have admitted it so generously.
However, Ollivander did not let him go.
"Mr. Diggory, I don't know if you're free, but I'd like to hire you as my assistant to study wand making together, and maybe we'll be able to discover the secret of improving the fit between wand and user."
At this point, Ollivander's eyes lit up.
Obviously, before he figured out the mystery of the whole thing, he had to figure it out.
"Yes."
Although he already knew Ollivander's plan, Su Zimo nodded and agreed without hesitation.
After all, the art of wand-making really piqued his interest, and Ollivander, one of the three major wand-makers in Europe, has a centuries-old family legacy.
This rare opportunity is naturally not to be missed.
Furthermore......
Su Zimo also wanted to know what kind of effect the wizard's method of making magic wands would produce when combined with the alchemy of the Maoshan faction.
As this little episode passed, Ollivander began to check the wand again.
"Mr. Krum, it's your turn."
Victor Krum stood up, drooping his round shoulders and stumbling his feet, and walked listlessly towards Mr. Ollivanders, where he slipped his wand and stood there with a frown, his hands in the pockets of his robes.
"Hmm."
Mr. Ollivander said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's Grigovich's product. He's a great wandsmith, though I don't really ...... his style But ......"
He raised his wand and flipped it upside down in front of his eyes, examining it carefully.
"That's right...... Hornbeam wood, which contains the tendinous cord of the dragon's heart, right? ”
He glanced at Krum, who nodded slightly.
"It's much thicker than what people usually see, and it's very rigid...... Ten and a quarter of an inch...... Flock of birds! ”
The hornbeam wand thumped like a pistol, and a flock of birds flapped their wings out of the wand and into the faint sunlight through the open window.
"Good."
Mr. Ollivander said, handing the wand back to Krum, and said, "And the last one...... Mr. Potter. ”
Harry stood up, rubbed shoulders with Krum, and walked towards Mr. Ollivanders. He handed over his wand.
"Ah, yes."
Mr. Ollivander said, a pair of light-colored eyes, once again flashing with excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, yes." I remember it clearly. ”
"Made of holly wood...... Eleven-inch long ...... It contains the tail feathers of a phoenix......"
Speaking of this, Ollivander restored his appearance of an ancient well without waves, which made Su Zimo a little disappointed.
If he remembered correctly, the wand in Harry Potter's hand and the core of the wand in Voldemort's hand were both from the same phoenix's tail feathers.
Between the two, because of the same rod core, once they fight, it will have a strange effect.
Mr. Ollivander examined Harry's wand for much longer than the others'.
Finally, he sent a puff of wine to his wand and handed it back to Harry, announcing that it was in very good condition.
"Thank you."
Dumbledore said, standing up at the referee's table, "Now you can go back to class...... Maybe it's more convenient to go straight down to eat, they're going to be out of class soon......"
At this moment, the man with the black camera jumped up and cleared his throat.
"Camera, Dumbledore, photography!"
Bagman excitedly shouted, "What do you think of the referee and the warriors for a group photo, Rita?" ”
"Hmm...... Well, let's take a group photo first. ”
Rita Skeeter said, her eyes falling on Harry once more, and said faintly, "Perhaps, I'll take a few more pictures of the single one later." ”
It took a long time to take pictures. Madame Maxim, no matter where she stands, stands in the way of others...... And the room was too small for the photographer to stand far away and take her into the lens.
In the end she had to sit down, and everyone else stood around her.
Karkaroff kept running his fingers around his goatee, trying to curl it.
Krum, but hiding behind everyone.
The photographer seemed particularly keen to get Fleur in front, but Rita Skeeter always caught up and pulled Harry to a more prominent position.
Then, she insisted on taking solo photos of the warriors one by one.
It took a long time for everyone to finally get out.
At this time, Su Zimo found Rita Skeeter alone, with a hint of playfulness on his face, and said quietly: "Ms. Rita, maybe we can find a place to talk." ”
"I'm sorry."
Hearing this, a hint of arrogance appeared on Rita Skeeter's face, and she said lightly: "If Mr. Diggory is going to ask me to help with an interview, I'm afraid I can't help with this...... But if it were a different time, I would be happy to speak with Mr. Diggory alone. ”
After all, Rita also knew that the 100% fit of the wand before was indeed not something that ordinary people could do.
Therefore, it is not easy for her to directly reject people thousands of miles away.
"Really......"
In this regard, Su Zimo smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "I heard that Ms. Rita Skeeter seems to have studied Armanigs very much, I think if those people who have been exposed by you know about this matter, I don't know what the result will be?" ”
"What do you want!"
Hearing this, Rita Skeeter's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't believe that her biggest secret had been revealed by someone.
"If you want to blackmail me with this, there are no doors, and you don't have any evidence, even if you tell someone else, I can sue the Ministry of Magic for your defamation!"
Obviously, she has made up her mind to fight against Su Zimo.
But the next second.
"yes, then I can only do a little trick."
As he spoke, he shook his palm, and a simple golden copper bell suddenly appeared in his palm.
Seeing this strange thing, somehow, Rita Skeeter suddenly had a trace of fear for no reason.
"What is this ......?"
"It's just an oriental sorcery that I stumbled upon before."
Su Zimo smiled and said quietly: "As long as a person's hair, or other belongings, then this bell will remember the person's breath, even if he becomes a mouse or a cockroach...... Or a beetle with a unique pattern, all of them will be warned. ”
