Chapter 4: Custom-made wands!
Ollivander took out a ruler with a silver mark from his pocket and asked the Immortal Sect children, "Which hand do you use to hold the wand?" ”
"Right hand." The Immortal Pai replied.
"Stretch out your arms, like this." Ollivander measured from the shoulders to the tips of his fingers, from his wrists to his elbows, from his shoulders to the ground, from his knees to his armpits, and from his entire head.
When Ollivanders weighed it, he casually boasted, "Every Ollivanders wand has a core, made of powerful magic. We used the fur of a unicorn, the feathers on the tail of a phoenix and the heartstrings of a dragon, and no two Ollivanders wands were the same, as if no two unicorns, phoenixes or dragons were exactly the same. Of course, if you use another wizard's wand, it won't end well. ”
When he was done, Ollivander climbed onto the shelf and took down a box.
"That's it." As he had said this, the measuring tape was shrunk into a ball and spread out on the ground.
In the stunned eyes of all the children, as soon as the children of the Immortal Sect took a wand, they were directly taken away by Ollivanders, and then one after another.
After dozens of rounds, not only the children were stunned, but the children of the Immortal Sect were also tossed a lot, and Ollivander's gaze began to become dull.
"Impossible, how can there be no suitable one?" Ollivander muttered to himself.
Regardless of the fact that there are hundreds and thousands of wands in Ollivander's shop, there may be even more, but these are all made by Ollivander himself, and he has a very good memory and knows every wand he makes.
Ollivanders is also very discerning, and it is easy to see the compatibility of a young wizard and a wand, and it is always easy to choose the right wand. His wand making is extremely high, but even higher is his vision.
However, the Immortal Sect children stumped Ollivander at once, so that he scratched his scalp and could not find a suitable wand, and what he thought was the most suitable had all failed. What was left was probably an even more ill-fitting wand.
"What the hell is going on? Are you a Muggle? After trying a few more wands, Ollivander couldn't help but ask the Immortal Sect.
The Immortal Sect had already learned from Liu Jiecao what a Muggle was, and he also knew that the ability to read was equivalent to the spiritual power and mana of a wizard. So in order to show that he was not a Muggle, he had to start emitting his "qi" out of his body, causing the surrounding air currents to fluctuate.
This is the "refining" in the four major lines of thinking ability, as a novice in thinking ability, the immortal sect has not yet come out of the teacher, even if it is "refining", he uses it reluctantly, but it conforms to the image of a little wizard.
This kind of performance has already impressed Ollivander, and it is difficult for ordinary young wizards to control their mana fluctuations after awakening. It is simply impossible to release mana like the Immortal Sect.
After confirming that the Immortal Sect was indeed a wizard, Ollivander also said to himself helplessly: "Do you really want to tailor it?" ”
The wands that Ollivander is putting out now are actually made by him every day, otherwise there would not be so many of them. Although he only sold a batch in a semester, he could accumulate a lot of quantities over the course of a year, which was enough to prove that Ollivander had mass-produced these wands, and not a hardcover product at all.
In fact, the requirements for young wizards are really not that high, and there are some adult wizards in pursuit of greater strength. They often choose to come to Ollivanders to have their wands tailor-made.
Using the best materials, Ollivanders also dedicates himself to crafting, using his own secret techniques to create a fine wand.
Of course. It's not that the wands that Ollivanders is putting out now are not high-quality. Even if you make a wand casually, there will always be a small chance that something will appear. But just as a wand picks people, a fine wand may not be suitable for all wizards, so it is necessary to make it to order.
Even ordinary mass-produced wands. There are also situations where it is not very generic. Like Harry. Potter is in a similar situation, this person just has a remote physique, and in the original plot, Ollivander also didn't find a wand that suited him for a long time. If it weren't for the remnants of Voldemort in his scars. It's considered Voldemort's Horcrux, otherwise it wouldn't have had a relationship with the twin wand of Voldemort's wand, and it is very likely to encounter a similar situation to the Immortal Sect.
In the end, the Immortal Pai decided to order a wand, but it would take longer to order the wand, and Ollivander would have to conduct a detailed inspection of the Immortal Pai before he could make the most thorough customization.
It turns out that Ollivanders ushered in a big tragedy today, and none of the children behind him made him worry, all of them were extremely picky, and none of them were selected by ordinary mass-produced wands.
Liu Jiecao smiled secretly, only he understood the real reason.
In fact, coming from the real world, whether it is the earth or the martial world, their wands are not so simple at all. They don't belong to the fantasy world in nature, and even their telekinesis is now unstable, and they haven't become supernatural powers, so in this case, how can they find a wand that suits them?
Only Liu Jiecao used the Book of Creation to analyze the wand making process, and then made the wand seeds, like the original holding spirit, and shallow fighting, planted in the consciousness of these people, so that they could conceive a wand that truly belonged to them through their own spirit and spirit.
Even Liu Jiecao, he is also a person in the real world, and he also needs to conceive his own magic wand.
As for Lihua and Xianpai, as beings who are also from a fantasy world, the two of them come from different worlds, and their bodies have a little insignificant deviation from the people in "Harry Potter", which makes them have abnormal physiques, and ordinary wands can't fit them, and only by letting Ollivander customize the wand can they meet the requirements of the two of them.
In the end, Ollivander decided to make a wand for everyone. However, it turned out that there were only two people expected by Liu Jiecao, Lihua Song and Xianpai, and these two were the creations of Liu Jiecao's other fantasy worlds, and the physique of other people could not be determined even by a well-informed person like Ollivander.
Ollivander was helpless about this, and said that he was really damn today, and he was sure that he really couldn't do anything about it, so he could only let people who couldn't be detected have a wand to go to other stores and buy a wand.
In fact, it's not just Ollivanders who sells wands, but Diagon Alley also sells regular wands, which are called universal wands. There are no specific requirements for use, and any wizard can use the wand, but the specific effect is far worse than that of those wands that are suitable for people.
In the Ollivanders wand shop, even the mass-produced goods made by Ollivanders are far more advanced than the generic wands outside. This is the master's craft, even if the master does it casually, it is extraordinary.
However, the wands produced by Ollivanders, no matter how bad they are, are far more expensive than the generic wands outside. And it's not a little bit expensive.
Only the rich among pure-blood wizards, and the little wealthy Mackclaw families would buy wands here, or the poor who gritted their teeth to buy such a luxury, and it was impossible for the average person who had no money to afford it anyway.
Harry. Potter, he wouldn't have been able to afford a wand here if he hadn't received the inheritance. And the wands used by the Weasleys' children are all universal wands, if there are few children, you can grit your teeth and buy one, but the number of children in their family is really hehe.
As for the custom-made. The value is a price that can bankrupt some poor pure-blood wizards, and the key is not that Ollivander's craftsmanship is expensive, but that it is necessary to use special materials and rare materials to make real masterpieces. This material cost is enough to give most wizards a headache.
Liu Jiecao smiled and asked the people on his side to take out all the gold gallons in his backpack and ask if Ollivander was enough?
It turned out that it was still not enough. As a result, they had to run to Gringotts Bank again and withdraw a large sum of money, so that the deposits of several people in the bank were actually only after the drizzle. This time it was enough.
"Forget it, let's come to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy something else." Liu Jiecao knew that this time a large number of gold bars were exchanged for a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect that the money would not be enough just to order two wands.
The rest of the money was really just a drizzle, and it was just that I was not happy to run again, so I put it there. That money alone is not enough for a few people to buy all the school supplies.
You must know that Liu Jiecao's gold bars are all ultra-high purity gold bars, and the value can be described as extraordinary, and he himself did not expect to use them almost all at once.
Before leaving, Liu Jiecao casually wanted to let Ollivander see that he had ordered two wands, and casually gave them a failed wand made by Ollivander.
As a result, Liu Jiecao was scolded by Ollivanders, saying that he had never sold any failed products there, and how could there be failed products at his current level, so that Liu Jiecao couldn't do it if he wanted to do research with a free wand, so he had to leave helplessly.
It's still the same thing, although there is still a little money left in the bank, which is enough money to buy a universal wand, but after running through Gringotts Bank a few times, everyone has an opinion, and Liu Jiecao himself doesn't want to run anymore like the other children.
A few people came in a hurry, but they returned in disappointment, which is really a bit disgraced.
Although they had decided to go to Diagon Alley a few more times for big shopping, it was not like now, they just ordered two wands and had no money, so they had to "roll" back by themselves.
By the way, due to the careful customization of these two wands, they don't even want to get their hands on them in a short period of time, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get them until a while after this semester.
Although the effect of the universal wand is indeed very average, not only is it not blessed, but it may be delayed, but the wand is still necessary for casting spells, and no matter how you buy it, you have to buy one to use, which is the rule for wizards to use spells.
The so-called wandless spell casting does not seem to appear much in the world of "Harry Potter", at least Liu Jiecao himself has no impression at all.
Not to mention that magical beasts can cast spells without a wand, their spell system is different from that of wizards, and it seems to be an innate ability, so in other worlds it can only be called a gifted spell, or a quasi-spell, rather than a real wizard's spell.
The next day, several children brought new gold bars on the road again, and this time Liu Jiecao was also ruthless, and directly brought a hemp bag with a large amount of Muggle cash for the housekeeper to carry.
Liu Jiecao was not prepared enough for gold bars, and he didn't have to make another batch in a short time, so he used the cash in stock.
At Gringotts Bank, the children looked at their warehouses again as they had done last time, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, if Liu Jiecao was not inconvenient to use the Book of Creation casually, he could have put all the things in the space inside. Now he kind of wants a backpack with a shrinking charm.
A real wizard goes to buy something, even if it is of a very high value, but he does not take a bag of marijuana money on the road, but uses those bags with a shrinking charm, and when the things are all smaller, it is completely convenient to carry them.
The bag with the shrinking charm was handmade by Hermione in the original story, and it is obvious elsewhere.
Obviously, this kind of thing should not be simple, it is not something that can be bought casually, but Liu Jiecao feels that he can still ask, and he will not suffer a loss if he asks.
The facts proved that the reality was skinny, the school uniforms, textbooks, and other equipment were all bought all the way, and even the universal wand had already arrived, but Liu Jiecao asked the housekeeper to inquire all the way, but he didn't get the point of sale of the bag with the shrinking charm.
It seems that there is really no such thing here in Diagon Alley, and it is really mainly a trading place for students. The entire wizarding world is so big, and the whole of Britain is so big, I'm afraid there really are other trading places for adult wizards.
However, these are not open trading places like Diagon Alley, which is where even Muggles can come.
Liu Jiecao almost wanted to go to Tumbledown Alley, the black magic shopping street, to have a look, only the kind of place where dragons and snakes are mixed can buy uncommon things.
However, in the end, he still felt that forget it, the dark wizard was too scary, and it was too dangerous to go to that kind of place. There is no need to risk going to that kind of place for something that is not necessary, and on the other hand, Liu Jiecao has no means to enter Tumbledown Alley.
Although Tumbledown Alley is adjacent to Diagon Alley, it is a hidden place, and it is easy to get out and difficult to enter. Potter made a mistake using Floo Net and strayed into Tumbledown Alley, and under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't even be able to find the place.
Compared to the disappointment of the first day of shopping, the second day of shopping was mainly for some study necessities, but at least I walked around it roughly, and it was still fun to visit this kind of place where magic items were traded. (To be continued......)
