Chapter 337: The Wand of Three People (Monthly Pass 700 Plus Update)

Ollivanders' wand shop, run by the Ollivanders family for generations, is said to have existed more than 300 years BC, and all wizards in the British wizarding world choose their wands first, and mages from all over the world, if possible, will also come here to choose their wands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's also the only wand shop in Diagon Alley.

It's a cramped, cramped, shabby little shop. In front of the window, a wand is displayed on a faded purple mat, and next to the mat is written "The wand chooses the owner, and accompanies the master for life". The store's ceiling-reaching cabinets are filled with thousands of narrow, long, long boxes filled with wands of all kinds. Most of the wands made by Ollivanders are made of wood, which is about the same thickness as a person's little finger and varies in length. The core of the wand is carefully chosen, and it is possible that various natural materials are used, such as unicorn hair or dragon scale powder.

Mr. Ollivander either made wands in the back of the shop or snoozed somewhere in the wand's storage room. There is a bell on the counter near the door, and when you touch it, it makes a crisp and pleasant sound. With the sound of "coming, coming", this generation of "Ollivander masters" walked out of the studio.

He was dressed in a craftsman's garment, and his wide leather apron was covered with signs of wear and burn. "Ah, it's a guest who came to buy a wand, welcome, my shop will give you the best choice!"

"Hello, we two need a wand. Tolkien pointed at Zhao Mai and himself. "We're going to Hogwarts. ”

"Oh, by the way, there's something wrong with the Ministry of Magic's spell that's delaying your time. Ollivander said, "But it also has the advantage that you are already grown, and your physical condition is stable, and you are more likely to be picked by the wand." Which of you will come first?"

Tolkien volunteered. Ollivander took a tape measure from the pocket of his leather apron, measured Tolkien's arms, height, and head circumference, and then gave him a wand with beech and unicorn hair nine inches long. But before Tolkien could try to wave it, he took his wand back.

"It's not suitable, it's not suitable, come and try this, plane wood and phoenix feathers, seven inches. ”

Tolkien tried four wands, and finally found the right one for him in the fifth. As he waved the wand with an eight-inch maple branch and troll eyelashes, a soft white glow lit up from the tip of the wand.

"Very good, this one is yours now, it only costs six gold coins, after all, trolls' eyelashes are cheaper. Ollivander turned his head to look at Zhao Mai: "It's your turn." ”

He took a six-inch ash wand, and as a result, it burned as soon as it reached Zhao Mai's hand. Ollivander hurriedly removed the wand and blew out the flames above it with his mouth. "Wow, it's a magical phenomenon, it's the first time I've seen it!"

"For the first time?"

"Yes, my first time. However, our family history is not without experience in this area. Ollivander blinked: "You're going to have a hard time on the path of magic, quite hard. ”

"Is there any explanation for this?"

"Actually, I don't know, I only know how to make wands, and I don't know much about the rest. A person who is said to be able to burn an ash wand has a talent for some spells, but is almost insulated from others. He took out seven more wands in quick succession, but they either caught fire or did not respond. "Challenging choices, fun and fun! Wait a minute!"

Ollivander turned and ran to the back of the workshop, where the sound of rummaging through the cabinets could be heard. Zhao Mai and Tolkien looked at each other and waited patiently. Ado looked around and curiously picked up a wand scattered on the counter: "Ado!"

A yellowish glow lit up from the tip of the wand.

"Ado!" The light went out, and "Ado!" the light came back on. The giant had a great time, waving his wand and saying Adodo. Ollivander returned, his hair and shoulders covered in ash, and a cloud of black ash on his nose, and in his hand this old paper bag tied with a cowhide rope. "Wow, the giant has found his right wand, what a lucky companion. Come on, you try this one. ”

When the paper bag was opened, there was a long, slender gray branch with uncut forks on it. "The branch of the Enlightenment Tree!" Xiaohua first shouted: "This is a branch of the Enlightenment Tree, although it has no vitality, I will not admit my mistake!"

Ollivander frowned and looked around: "Hey, why does it seem that something strange has mixed in, and it seems to be still talking? Could it be an auditory hallucination?" He looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't see the flower, and finally shook his head, thinking it was a hallucination.

Zhao Mai picked up the branch of the Enlightenment Tree with the encouragement of Ollivander and waved it gently. A warm current surged up the tips of his fingers, then turned into a glow of red and blue on the tip of the wand. Without Ollivander to say, Zhao Mai knew that he had found the wand.

"It's funny, this wand doesn't have a core yet, but it's already capable of showing the power of magic, as I guessed. Ollivander said, "No other plant or animal can reflect your character, only yourself." This wand can be used, but it's not very stable, so I'll need a few of your hairs to put inside the wand as a core. And I'm going to have to work on the surface a little bit, and polish it. ”

"Can you just keep it like this? I like the two branched branches on it. ”

Ollivander groaned for a moment, then nodded, "No problem. However, if you have a twig, it will be slightly slower to pull out your wand and use your wand, as it may hook your clothes. ”

"It's not a problem. Zhao Mai considered that he had a storage bracelet, and it was quite convenient to take things from it. He gritted his teeth and pulled a handful of his own hair to Ollivander.

"I have scissors...... But that's okay. Ollivander smiled, wrapped Zhao Mai's hair in paper, and then said, "You guys wait for me here, it will take about half an hour." This is the first Elder Wand I've ever made, and it's worth remembering!"

Tolkien pulled out a small notebook and tried to write down what the Elder Wand was, but Ollivander walked fast and was already behind them, so they had to wait patiently. They waited for half an hour, Addo also played "turn on the lights off" for half an hour, and Ollivander returned.

"Oh, the Elder Wand?" he said, hearing the question, "Once upon a time, wands were filled with the hair of loved ones or oneself. Children who have not yet become wizards make wands out of the hair of their father, mother, or grandparents to help guide and better use their magic. Later, it was discovered that the use of magical creatures or parts of the tissues of magical creatures could compensate for the lack of magic in some aspects of the user, and also increase the power of the spell. In addition, the method of making wands has improved, and it has completely surpassed the method of making blood hair, so the use of kinship hair is no longer used. ”

He looked at Zhao Mai and said, "No matter how strong or weak your magic power is, it is very strange, and I can't find suitable animals and plants to match you, so I thought of the manufacturing method of the ancient wand." By the way, the Elder Wand has a problem. Unlike other wands, if the Elder Wand is attacked, you will also be counterattacked, so you will need to be especially careful to protect your wand. In ancient times, if you lose your wand, you lose your life, but it's not a joke. ”

After saying that, he handed over the 13.14-inch long wand to Zhao Mai. (To be continued.) )
