Ollivander is a character in the Harry Potter series who specializes in providing wands, with the habits of a businessman but also the persistence of an artist, and is known as one of the three major wand-making masters in Europe. The wand shop he opened was in Diagon Alley, but this business was more or less monopolistic, after all, he was the only wand shop in the entire Diagon Alley.

Yu Hongshi took Lani and Gong Er into Diagon Alley after noon, and when they entered the wand shop, it happened to be the time when there were the most customers, of course, the so-called maximum was only two or three people.

Yu Hongshi stood quietly aside, he knew that Ollivander was not in a good mood at this time, after all, this thing had just received Grindelwald last night and was questioned by the Ministry of Magic all morning, and it was estimated that this was the time to make a fire.

Speaking of which, it must be mentioned that Grindelwald is a principled person, and I don't know where he got the Golden Gallon, anyway, he didn't rely on robbery as Yu Hongshi said.

However, this also made Yu Hongshi know Ollivander's personality from the side, this thing obviously has no concept of wrong, even if you are the Dark Lord, he can also provide you with a wand.

"Alright, three guests, how can I help you? I love the guests who follow the rules! ”

When all the guests had left, Ollivander had finally come to entertain them.

Yu Hongshi pulled Gong Er, "This kid will be enrolled in Hogwarts this year, I heard that the Ollivanders wand shop is the best in the whole wizarding world, so we came." ”

"Oh, you're not wrong about what you've heard. Come on kid, let me measure you first, know that every wizard must know himself before he is qualified to choose a wand! ”

Gong Er rolled his eyes vaguely, if the 'understanding of yourself' by this thing refers to the size of the tiger's mouth, the length of the arm, etc., then it is really superficial.

While Ollivander was measuring Gong Er's size, Yu Hongshi and Lani were watching the wands around them, which were stacked on the ceiling at random, and they didn't know if it was because the wand maker didn't cherish it, or if it was really a personal style.

Soon Lani's voice came softly, "It turns out that the wand of this world is like this. ”

"What's your assessment?"

"Very versatile! Because the body of the person in this world is very limited to mental power, when holding a magic wand, it is equivalent to artificially creating a conduit for the spiritual power in the body, and then casting various spells to achieve the effect. For example, if you don't break the juice of a closed drink, you can't drink the juice if you don't break it, but when you insert a straw, you can suck the juice through the straw. ”

Yu Hongshi suddenly realized, the original principle was so simple, "I can understand the materials of the demon guide, but what is the mystery of the structure such as the rod core?" ”

Lani casually picked up a wand that seemed to be useless, "Trees symbolize life, just like the golden tree, so wood is also a good guide material, so most of the wands in every world will be made of wood." But the grain of the wood is inherently textured and will not be altered by your artificial sharpening. It can channel magic, but it doesn't direct it to the goal you want it to do. Therefore, you need to have the help of a rod core to orient yourself! ”

Yu Hongshi also reached out and took a magic wand, nodded and said: "In this way, although the wand core is also a magic guide material, it is wood that mainly plays a role in guiding the magic and the wand core is used for positioning." What is the difference between the rod core? ”

Lani shook her head, "This has to be seen again, it seems that there are some mysteries in it, but ...... The cane-making technology in this world seems to be inferior to mine. ”

"Shhhh

On the other side, Ollivander has already begun to choose a staff for Gong Er, I have to say, this is a manual work, watching this old man climb up and down, I don't know how many I tried, and in the end, he began to lose his hair and didn't find a suitable one.

Lani looked at the setting sun outside and reminded, "Try the cherry blossom wood and the phoenix tail feathers." As he spoke, he reached down and plucked a box from the wall.

Ollivander was stunned for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but when he saw that after Gong Er took out his wand from the box, there was a faint ray of luster covering the wand, as if he had painted another layer of protective paint on the wooden wand.

"Wow, the core of the cane with the phoenix tail feathers of the cherry blossom wood is eleven inches long, and it is very delicately made, it is really ...... Surprising! ”

Yu Hongshi looked at Ollivander's strange expression and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?" Is it the cherry blossom wood that is wrong, or is there a problem with the phoenix's tail feathers? ”

"Questions? No, there is nothing wrong with my wand, it's just ...... The phoenix is a very spiritual bird, the wand will pick the owner, and the phoenix is even more picky. Almost all wizards who use phoenix tail feathers as rods end up with extraordinary contributions in some way. Well, in some ways ......"

Ollivander's desire to speak again made Gong Er very confused, but Yu Hongshi understood, he remembered that the wands of Harry Potter and Voldemort were both phoenix tail feathers, and the magic talents of the two were undoubtedly excellent, so Gong Er's magic talent was excellent?

"I thought the tail feathers of a phoenix were a very precious thing, and they didn't seem to be rare."

Ollivander looked like an old-timer science popularization, "The phoenix is indeed a very rare magical animal, but it also has the habit of shedding, so the tail feathers of the phoenix are not rare to some extent." It is a bit similar to the diamonds of the human world, there are many of them, but there are not many large and good diamonds. The same goes for phoenix tail feathers, which are not many that can be used to make wand cores. ”

"Teachable, how much is that?"

"Twelve golden Galleons."

"Okay, you put it away."

Ollivander took the golden gallon very elegantly and put it away, Yu Hongshi admired this old man a little, and the ghost knows how he performed the action of 'collecting money' so elegantly.

However, just as Yu Hongshi was about to leave, Ollivander suddenly spoke, "Don't you pick wands, sir and madam?" I don't think you seem to have a wand. ”

Yu Hongshi was slightly surprised, this old man has something, at this time there are many Muggle parents who bring their children to buy wands, but he can judge that the two of them have magic power without wands.

Yu Hongshi thought for a while and said, "Why not? Then it's troublesome for the old gentleman. ”

The process was still maddening, maybe Ollivander himself thought he was very skilled, but Yu Hongshi felt that he was messing around, and finally found his wand after trying the fifty-seventh, the dragon grasping locust wood, the dragon's heartstring, twelve inches.

However, when it was Lani's turn, it went a lot smoother, because it was Lani's own choice of wand, which was basically a hit, and even Ollivander praised her for her luck

Cedar wood, unicorn hair, eleven inches, looks gray and white, quite good-looking.

So after paying another fifteen gold Galleons, Yu Hongshi took Lani and Gong Er home, in fact, he originally wanted to buy a robe and a pet or something, who knew that so much time was wasted there.

By the time the three of them returned to 18 Privet Road, Grindelwald had already changed the appearance of the home, retro, deep, and aristocratic.

"Looks like you're in a good mood with a wand, do you want me to remind you that there are a lot of wizards hidden around here?"

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, as if he had recovered from the previous blow, and said calmly: "You are really not simple, and your plans are very big!" ”

Yu Hongshi's face was expressionless, but he put more than a dozen question marks in his heart, did this product misunderstand something?

"I've recently spotted the hidden wizards nearby, they are always observing the family at No. 4 Privet Road, intentionally or unintentionally, and I have made a small move to get to know the family, guess who the children of that family are? Hehe, it turned out to be the famous Harry Potter! ”

Grindelwald's eyes flashed wildly, like a child who had found a favorite toy, Yu Hongshi frowned, "You still care about the so-called savior?" ”

Grindelwald snorted disdainfully: "Voldemort is just a simple thug, and this is the kind of person I don't like the most." However, I still recognize his strength, and what interests me even more is that as far as I know, Voldemort killed Harry Potter because of the prophecy, but he didn't expect to be killed because of this, which proves the wonder of a wave of fate. However...... I made another prediction that there would be another storm that would sweep through the wizarding world, and this time the center of the storm was that child! ”

Yu Hongshi frowned, a little disdainful in his heart, storm? Is Voldemort's little fight on the British frontier a storm?

Shaking his head and not talking to him more, he lowered his head and fiddled with his wand, from which he could faintly sense something.

Grindelwald didn't care when he watched Yu Hongshi use his wand as a toy, this was a terrible guy without a wand, and a wand might be a toy for him.

Gong Er was dazzled, "Are you going to pulp out the wand?" What are you going to do about that? ”

Lani reached out and put her hand on Gong Er's shoulder to stop her from continuing, "The same thing has different effects in different people's hands, and he is not playing but exploring the mystery of the origin inside the core of the staff. ”

The Origin Mystery?

As soon as these words came out, they attracted everyone's attention, and Yu Hongshi let out a sigh and put his wand on the table casually, "It seems that you have also found the mystery, the magic ...... here It's kind of interesting! ”

Lani nodded, and put her wand on the table casually, "The material and the wand core itself are not important, the choice of the wand core is important, human beings are a very peculiar species, other species will more or less prefer some of the wilderness, but human beings are like an insulating species, neither of them is matched, but any of them can be cultivated." However, this state of human beings is not always like this, with different education, different thoughts, and different contact environments, the spiritual fluctuations of human beings will gradually move towards a certain kind of desolation. The materials used in the core of these wands tend to be in a certain way, so when the human spirit fluctuates and the core material tends to be the same, there will be a so-called 'fit' situation. Although the wizards of the wizarding world do not understand the subtlety, they have been able to choose wands with the accumulation of experience, and I have to say, there are some things! ”

Grindelwald blinked, and honestly, he didn't understand!

Gong Er looked at Yu Hongshi again, "So he's ...... Is it to experience the so-called essence of the desolation? ”

Lani's eyes when she looked at Yu Hongshi were also a little more solemn, "The core of his staff is the dragon's heartstring, and the path he walks is also a dragon in the wilderness, so he will have some understanding." But...... I advise you to give up, there are countless people who have taken the road of the Hundred Phases and Dragons of the Flood and Desolation, but no one has passed through it so far, because ...... The side effects of this path are too great, and if you make a slight mistake, you will become a dragon! ”
