Chapter 51: Wand! Come long!
I bought a balance and a pewter pot for boiling potions, and I bought a set of crystal bottles by the way, long and short, medium, coarse and thin, with a round bottom and a flat bottom cone-shaped, and finally distilled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Mr. Gray was embarrassed: "Are you going to be an alchemist?" β
Taruo looked at his father with innocent eyes: "Isn't the wizard just the one who holds a cauldron, boils potions, wears strange suspicious robes, and has all kinds of strange sounds?" β
A cold sweat flowed from the top of Gray's head, and he couldn't help but complain: "Then why haven't your parents seen this situation when they are both wizards......
Taruo thought seriously for a moment (still pretending) and said, "I've never been to the basement of our house, it must be this scene. β
ββ¦β¦β
Speechless along the way, Mr. Gray grossly bought Taruo an owl. Taruo named it "Morgan", Mugen, after all, it was his first contract creature.
[Detected that the host contracted the first magical creature]
γPet System Onγ
[Pet: Owl Morgan (Mugen) (4a): An owl with extraordinary spirituality that can understand human language. It can conduct stealth reconnaissance, and it can be even more stealthy at night, and it can also relay information to the designated target as long as the target is still alive in the world. Pet Wisdom Feedback: You can enjoy spiritual bonuses. γ
[The host can communicate with their pets without barriers.] γ
"Morgan."
Taruo greeted briefly, and Morgan heard the call of his new master, and flew over very quickly, standing on Taruo's shoulder. It was a very beautiful owl, with supple plumage and a healthy sheen, and it stood twenty-five centimeters tall, a little taller.
"Master." It said affectionately.
Gray watched the scene of Taruo stroking the owl standing on his shoulder, and felt extremely and. Harmonious, as if they were meant to be.
However, Gray was a little depressed, why didn't I have a place in such a scene? Why does it feel like he's ...... Not of this world?
So he walked over, half-knelt before Taru, and said earnestly, "Merlin, my child. β
Taruo and Gray stared at each other, as if conveying something.
"You, Merlin, are me, Gray, forever and ever, my proud child."
ββββββββββββββββ
Gray led Taruo to the final stop in Diagon Alley, the Ollivanders Wand Shop.
"Ollivanders: A well-made wand since 380 BC."
The shop is small and run-down, just like the Leaky Cauldron Bar outside Diagon Alley. Taruo had to suspect that the best magic shops in the world were all in tatters, although when you opened the door of such a shop, there was always a feeling that you had opened the wrong door.
Outside the hidden shop there was a gold-lettered sign, though the gold was peeling, a display window, though dusty, and a purple mat with a lone wand on it, though faded......
Isn't that still very broken?!!
Taruo suppressed his desire to complain, secretly calmed his emotions, and pushed open this door to the unknown-
"Lingfeng mud dirt!! Stop doing weird voice acting!! Taruo roared in the spirit communication, but before he could continue to vent his anger, he felt a strong wave of magic rush over his face!
Deep, that was Taruo's first thought of the wandmaker in front of him named Ollivander.
Ollivanders was an old man, and it was hard to tell what kind of temperament this man exuded - especially for a law professional with an unusually keen sense of magic. He has pale and colorless eyes, like two moons.
"Good afternoon."
Ollivander said in his soft voice, and he walked up to Tajo and stared at Tajo - Tajo didn't even know if it was his delusion, after all, the colorless eyes were hard to tell if they were looking at a person.
ββ¦β¦ This young man. β
Taruo suddenly felt that the trip was worthwhile, and finally there was a guy who recognized himself as a boy at first sight.
"What beautiful eyes, what a resolute ......" Ollivander looked at for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion. He pulled out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket: "What's your name?" β
"Taruo, Merlin? Tajo. β
"Why did you tell your last name first?"
Taruo thought about it, maybe it was because everyone else called him that. But when he thought about it, he couldn't think of why, so Taruo replied, "...... I don't know why. β
"Hmm......" Ollivander nodded in understanding, then asked, "Which hand do you use?" β
"Right hand."
Taruo calmly looked at the silver tape measure that flew automatically in front of him, something he had already seen with Madame Morkin.
"So...... Try this, ebony, eleven inches, dragon nerves. β
Taruo held it in his hand and felt a great increase in his use of magic. But before he could hold it firmly, he was taken back by Ollivanders.
"What about this? Beechwood, unicorn hair, nine-inch...... No, no, no, then this, maple, phoenix feathers, seven inches long...... Uh, still doesn't it work? β
Ollivander raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and pulled a wand from the wand box pile.
"Then try this...... Laurel wood, unicorn hair, eight inches, great for gentle hands, I think a little ...... Belch......? β
Taruo looked at the wand in surprise, and the wand seemed to emit a happy **, from her (Taro confirmed that it was her, although she didn't know what was going on...... The tip of the wand glowed slightly, and Taruo pointed his wand at the ceiling.
"Brush!"
A silver unicorn popped up!
ββ¦β¦ Well, to be honest, I was surprised. β
It wasn't until Mr. Gray paid for it that Ollivander reacted from shock, and the look of confusion in his eyes was easy to see this time: "Why would a wand that favors a lady accept you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ Dad, I want to change my wand. A teary-eyed Taruo bowed her head, looking very depressed.
Gray was also embarrassed...... ...... in every sense His own son looks like a daughter, so he endured it...... But this wand ......
"Can't you just give me a longer staff, as the Muggle books say?"
Mr. Gray, the serious man, bent slightly towards Ollivander and made a gesture of please.
ββ¦β¦ Well, this is the first time I've seen this happen, and I can give you a long wand for decoration - there is no wand core in it, but Muggle books do give me a lot of inspiration......"
Gray immediately answered: "I'll pay." β
ββ¦β¦ Rest assured, it's cheap, just decoration. β
In this way, Taruo returned to his home in London with two wands, one long and one short, and a large pile of luggage to take to Hogwarts.
