Chapter 150: 140,000 wands first

Charling Cross, Westminster, London, England, if you can find an old and dilapidated inn and bar between a big bookstore and a record store, then congratulations, you're not a Muggle!

Pushing open the old wooden door of the Leaky Cauldron, Rorschach and Adam entered the small, dimly lit bar.

The old-fashioned wooden doors and canvas-barred windows don't let in the slightest bit of sunlight, only a few lights in the bar lobby and the sunlight sneaking in through the brick cracks provide a little bit of light to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

The shiny tables and chairs, the mottled cement walls and the traces of smoke and fire, except that the floor is often cleaned and looks relatively clean, the entire dilapidated cauldron bar looks like it can make Levi, who has a habit of cleanliness, go away in an instant.

At this moment, a ruddy girl with two blonde braids was resting on the bar. Hearing someone come in, she rubbed her eyes, closed her eyes and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Hannah Abbott is a Hufflepuff student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the granddaughter of Tom Abbott, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

At this moment, a guy in a black turtleneck sweater with a shaved head that looked ninety percent like the Clock Tower Monster walked briskly down the stairs that had been craffolded.

Entering the bar, the bell tower freak kissed Hannah's hair and said, "Go and rest, you are still young and don't need to help me maintain this ......"

Hannah nodded, climbed up the scaffolding with her eyes closed, and walked through a door.

With the smile of the bell tower weird, Tom Abbott asked, "What do you need for two strange gentlemen to come so early?" ”

"Actually, I'm just here to borrow a passage to Diagon Alley, but ...... Has it been so deserted all along? ”

Rorschach gestured around, signaling that the deserted Leaky Cauldron was nothing different from what he had remembered.

Tom sighed, pulled out two glasses from under the counter, placed them in front of Rorschach and Adam, and then summoned the steel flask floating next to him, and poured them each a steaming glass of butterbeer.

Pushing the glasses towards the two of them, Tom said, "Blame the damn Ministry of Magic, they suddenly started a full-scale search yesterday, saying that a prisoner had escaped, and their search drove my customers home." After all, there's nowhere safer than home. I've just finished checking the bar's protective charms. Drink, it's my ......"

Unlike the dirty, dimly lit bars, the utensils here are so clean that even in this dim environment, there are hardly any translucent glasses, and the butterbeer seems to be suspended in the air.

Rorschach took a sip of his beer, and the magical taste made him drink the rest of the beer.

"Delicious! There is no bitterness of beer, the malt aroma is completely integrated with the rich aroma of butter, but the original flavor is not covered by the oiliness of butter, and there is even a hint of other spices? ”

Tom smiled, his eyes narrowed to show that he liked Rorschach's compliment.

Tom said, "That's my secret recipe for the Leaky Cauldron...... The passage is in the back patio, and the trash can can is counted three on top of the trash can, and then two horizontally, and the passage to Diagon Alley can be opened by tapping it with a wand......"

As he spoke, an owl flew in through the skylight overhead, and made a high-altitude bombardment directly towards the bar. The rolled newspaper landed accurately on Tom's outstretched hand.

"Why are there so many?"

Confused, Tom unwraps the string from the newspaper and finds stacks of wanted notices rolled inside.

On the moving wanted screen, a man holding a 1390 sign let out a silent cry in all directions.

Seeing this man, Tom's face suddenly changed.

Tom hurried past Rorschach with his wand in his hand, only for Rorschach to hear, "Oh my God! It's him! I'll need to check the defense ...... again."

Rorschach stretched out his hand and hooked his finger at the bar, and a wanted warrant flew into Rorschach's hand.

The wanted list is Harry Potter's third year adventure-themed event, Sirius Black, the escaped prisoner of Azkaban.

Throw the wanted warrant in the trash and count three pieces from the bottom to the top according to the rules, and then count two pieces horizontally.

Adam tapped the brick with his wand, and the original brick wall cracked along the staggered crevices of the canine's teeth, then retreated to the sides, forming a wide brick corridor that extended to the cobblestone path outside.

The hallway is unlit and looks as grooggy as the Leaky Cauldron, but it only takes two steps to open up the real magical world to you.

Diagon Alley is a long street built around a cobblestone road where wizards can find everything they need, from bookstores to restaurants.

If you want something different, just walk to Tumbledown Alley, which is not far away, where all kinds of dark wizards and their gear are located, and everything that is forbidden by law can be found here, provided you get it alive, of course.

Walking out of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, the nearest is the Patch Cauldron Shop, which sells crucibles of all types and materials.

In the wizarding world, it is theoretically best to use a fixed crucible for a potion, and in the hands of beginners, a crucible is more of a consumable. The amount of cauldrons Neville burned in a semester was not a small amount.

Further on are Gringotts and Blotte Blotts, but Gringotts has not yet opened, and the clerk of Blotchy Blotts' is picking up a fork and scolding and scolding the disobedient books in the cage.

Looking at the fanged and grumpy "Monster Book of the Monsters", this is the first time that Hagrid, the caretaker of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, has taken over as the teacher of the Fantastic Beasts class, and with the previous prison escape of Sirius Black, the plot in Rorschach's memory has not changed much.

But for the plot, it's okay to meet a foil, Rorschach won't deal with these things specifically.

The most important thing for him now is to choose a wand of his choice.

As a wizard, who doesn't want a wand of their own?

During his studies at Nymongaard, Rorschach used wands that were only brought to him by the Muggle administration, and with the exception of Jonathan of the Survey Corps, the rest of the wands were second-hand.

The shop was small and dilapidated, with a peeling gold sign on the door that read: "Ollivanders: Well-made wands since 382 BC."

In the shop window, a wand sits alone on a faded purple cushion. The shop is small and has nothing but a bench in the corner. Thousands of narrow cardboard boxes with magic wands were piled up from floor to ceiling, and a thin layer of dust fell everywhere.

There is a bug here, although Garrick Ollivanders believes that the original Ollivanders family followed the Romans to England, the Romans only began to conquer Britain ("Britannia") in 43 AD, and Ollivander began selling wands from 382 BC.

This is not in line with ordinary Muggle history, maybe the wizarding world arrived in Britannia four hundred years earlier......

Pushing the door and walking in, the small bell on the door was alerting the people inside that a guest was coming.

A simple counter with a staircase leading to the second floor, and on the left wall, boxes with wands neatly arranged.

Hearing the ringing of a bell, an old man with silver-white hair walked down from the second floor.

"Good morning, gentlemen."

Ollivander carefully identified Rorschach and Adam, and as a master wandmaker, Ollivander could clearly remember every wand that came out of his hand.

But the two people in front of him, Ollivander didn't remember.

"Gentlemen, this is the first time you have come to my shop, is it a broken wand? Or do you need a new wand? ”

In response to Ollivander's inquiry, Rorschach said, "Yes, we need to buy two new wands. ”

"So what was your wand made of, what core, how many inches, and how hard was it? Did you bring a wand before? Only your first wand is the most suitable for you, and I recommend that you focus on repairs......"

Ollivander's series of professional questions made Rorschach wonder where he had put his first wand for a moment......

Spreading his hands, Rorschach said, "Ahem, Mr. Ollivander, we are educated in different ways, we are educated by teachers. Before that, in order to exercise our magic level, the teacher did not prepare us with a magic wand. And we got a job in Yingguo, so we came to buy a wand that really belonged to us......"

Mentorship relationships are not uncommon in the wizarding world, and at least 11 magic schools around the world do not include all wizarding education. Even in some places, the teacher-teacher relationship is the most important thing in magical education.

Ollivander began to think about this, he came over and grabbed Rorschach's hand to examine it carefully, and said: "There is indeed no trace of long-term use of the wand, it seems that you have learned to cast spells without a wand, then this is not easy to do, the wand has its own breath, its own thoughts, its own life, a wand that accompanies education throughout life, is the most suitable wand for you......"

"Usually I'll ask young wizards to introduce their parents, whose magic is passed on to their children, so I'll start with their parents' wand traits......"

Ollivander fiddled with Rorschach's body and asked, "Do you know the material and core of your parents' wands?" ”

"I'm sorry, but my parents are Muggles......"

"Then that's not going to be easy, let me think about it...... Teachers teach and teach, and can cast spells silently......"

Ollivander climbed the book ladder and pulled out a wand box along the cabinet where his wand was stored.

"Try this, acacia wood, dragon's tendons, for the kind of wizard with great talent and tenacity."

Grabbing his wand, Rorschach shook it in front of him and unleashed a most basic of magic spells - fluorescent flickering.

Fluorescent shines on the tip of the wand, and looks indistinguishable from normal spells.

However, Ollivander reached out and took the wand, shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to cast a spell, you just need to shake it lightly to know if the wand is suitable for you...... This wand has succumbed to your casting, it doesn't suit you......"

With that, Ollivander put down the box, took out another wand box from the counter on the ground floor, and handed it to Rorschach.

"Applewood, unicorn hairy ......"

With a swing of Rorschach, the tip of the wand exploded into a series of firecrackers, but the sound sounded weak.

"The ...... of this cedar wood"

"This cherry ......"

Eventually, a 12.5-inch long and flexible wand appeared in Rorschach's hand, with the dragon's new nerve as the core of the wand.

Looking at the wand in Rorschach's hand, Ollivander introduced its characteristics: "The wand of the redshirt wood does not have good luck, but it can always save the day, it accompanies the great journey of the legendary wizard, the dragon's nerve as the core of the wand, the most powerful wand core, the spell is the most dazzling ......"

It sounded very much in line with Rorschach's journey, and with his wand put away, Rorschach stepped out of the way and said, "Give my brothers a wand, too......"

Ollivander looked at the expressionless Adam and said, "Come on, let's start testing ......"

After another series of attempts, Adam also obtained his own wand, made of black prickly pear wood for wand wood, unicorn hair for the core, and a wand 13 inches long.

This time it didn't take Ollivander to explain, Rorschach knew the wand's properties.

The black prickly pear wood is best suited for a warrior, he is brave and strong, loyal and gentle, and the core of the unicorn represents purity. This is Krieger......

Adam looked at the wand in his hand, and a warm ball of light lingered on it, which only illuminated him and Rorschach.

Rorschach suddenly asked, "Adam, how many of you are there now?" ”

Ever since the establishment of the Krieg Death Legion, Rorschach has not asked too much, leaving Adam and them to develop freely.

And now giving Krieg a wand may be a good opportunity to improve their overall strength.

"136092 people."

Having got an exact number, Rorschach turned around and said to Ollivanders, "Then Adam's wand, please give me 140,000 first!" ”

Hearing this, Ollivander's hair stood on end in anger, and he said loudly: "Do you think the wand is mass-produced!" 140,000, even if you shave all the unicorns in the whole Ying Kingdom, you can't make enough suitable rod cores!

Twenty gold galleons per wand, pay! ”

Rorschach and Adam were blasted out of the wand shop, and the door of the shop closed with a bang, causing the surrounding business people to look at it.

"You don't need that many wands, in fact wands are only a little better in some special situations, on the battlefield, it is not as good as a gun, and in close combat it is not as good as a bayonet......"

Adam rationally analyzed the effect of the wand, and in his opinion the wand was a little too fragile. But that doesn't mean he won't like Rorschach's gift.

Talking about the disadvantages of the wand, Adam noticed that Rorschach was looking to the other side, which was Gringotts, which had just opened.

But Rorschach immediately retracted his gaze, pointed to the magical zoo on the other side, and said, "Do you want to buy some pets?" When you come to the wizarding world, you have to bring something back......"

Thank you for the reward of the book friend 'Qi Guo-Gongzi Jiang', thank you.

Let's count the tickets
