Chapter 19: Worse than Dumbledore
Josh didn't really care about the wand in the first place, because his magic was different from the other people who needed to chant spells, and he was basically instantaneous. However, Josh seems to have heard that a suitable wand can enhance the combat power of a mage, and Josh doesn't know how to increase it, but if the effect is not bad, and then get a magic crystal of a monster on it to restore the magic power, then it will be very good.
However, Crouch's words made Crouch very strange, and he couldn't understand why this guy who looked about his size would want to go to the wand shop, which is common sense that a wizard will buy a wand that suits him directly after bursting the magic seed.
But Crouch didn't think about it that much, purely when Josh was just curious and playful, and Josh didn't pay him for nothing, so he didn't care. Although Crouch grew up in a wizarding family, his family was not very noble, and although his parents had a good job in the Ministry of Magic, they never gave Crouch an extra penny.
So in the face of Josh's willingness to spend money, Crouch is of course very happy and tries his best to do everything he can.
Soon the three of them arrived at the wand shop, which Josh looked around and felt was broken and small, with a wand lying on the faded purple cushion in the window. The gold-rimmed wooden plaque on the gate had fallen off a little, but the handwriting on it was still legible—Olidevan had been a well-made wand since 382 AD.
"382 A.D.? The tone is really big, it's 1,500 years away from now, right? Galen looked at the sign and shook his head, he thought it was a bit of a braggart. In his memory, there are very few inheritances of more than 1,000 years, and those that can be preserved for more than 1,000 years have become a predator, at least a hereditary nobleman, not a small and dilapidated shop.
Crouch was about to refute Galen's words, but unfortunately Josh spoke first: "Do you care if others are bragging or real?" If someone else is really just quietly making a wand, who can say this kind of thing clearly? To be honest, I think he's bragging, but I guess it's okay with us, just go in and try it out and see if there's a wand that works for me. ”
Galen looked at Josh in silence, and at this moment he realized that Josh was really a thief. A wand that fits him? It seems that the level of strength in this world is really low at the moment, if it weren't for Josh's intention to let himself cultivate his battle qi in this world, he would have wanted to instigate Josh to leave with him.
In this case, Galen felt that Josh really wanted to find a suitable wand in this world, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to find North, and he felt that Josh was not here to find a wand, but to find trouble! But he won't say anything about it, and he'd rather watch it when it's so funny.
"I'm sure you'll find the right wand for you, and Mr. Olidfan will prove that he's not bragging."
Crouch listened to Josh's words and thought he was teaching Galen a lesson, and although his words weren't too nice, at least he was willing to give it a try. Out of absolute trust in Olidefan, Crouch glanced at Galen like a victor, which made him speechless and sighed mentally: Young man, I'm afraid you're going to be wrong.
Walking into the shop, Josh found that there were so many wands in it, and there were countless boxes on almost every wooden shelf, and he knew that it should be all wands. Moreover, he clearly felt the fluctuations of the slightest magic emitted from each wooden box, and the traces of time that could be seen with the naked eye.
"That's really the case." Although the magic power fluctuations of the wand in the box were very weak, it was still very clear under Josh's perception. But again, the feeling of energy is very weak, but it's better than nothing.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Edward?" Perhaps it was the sound of the door opening, and Olydvan stepped on the stairs behind the shelf and moved out, recognizing Crouch at first sight. "If I'm not mistaken, you're a wand ten and a quarter of an inch long in blue sycamore, a low-key and calm wand. By the way, are these two your friends? ”
"You have a good memory, Mr. Olidfan, these two are my employers, they are from abroad and want to visit Hogwoods, but before that they also want to visit Diagon Alley, so I brought them to you."
Crouch is still very respectful to Olidevan , not to mention that his parents' wands are bought here by Olidevan and may not only be him, his classmates and even the parents of his classmates basically buy wands here, so he thinks Olidevan is a great and respectable figure.
"Is that so?" Olidevan glanced at Josh in surprise, but fortunately, this look immediately made Olidevan feel incredible. He rubbed his eyes, jumped down the stairs and ran to Josh to take a closer look, until Josh got a little impatient and exclaimed, "Oh my God, this.... How can it be? Why do I feel standing in front of myself Dumbledore! God, how is this possible? ”
"Dumbledore? Headmaster Dumbledore? How is this possible, Mr. Olidevan you must be mistaken, right? No kidding, Professor Dumbledore wasn't as handsome as Mr. Josh when he was a kid. Crowe thought Olidevan was joking, but when he saw that Olidevan ignored him and still stared at Josh, he realized that something wasn't quite right.
"I'm not talking about Professor Dumbledore in his youth, I'm talking about Professor Dumbledore now. Hell, you're even scarier than he looks! Olidevan said with a heavy face, he never dreamed that there was such a monster-like guy in this world, he couldn't help but think about what people are doing in England?
"Alright, don't guess. It doesn't mean anything to us, especially you, Mr. Olydfan. You're a wand merchant, and you are, right? And I'm just here to see if there's a wand that works for me, I don't think you're going to kick me out, are you? ”
"Of course not, sir. You're right, I'm really just a wand merchant, so I'll help you get ready. ”
Josh thought he understood what he said, and it seemed to tell him: you are a good wand merchant, no one will come to your trouble, and this is how your ancestors came and you can live like this in the future. Actually, Josh's meaning is very simple: if you think something so useless, it is better for you to buy me a better wand as usual.
The language was very misleading, and Josh didn't know that his words had made Olidfan's mind even heavier. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care so much, although Olidevan was very good and had the magic of a first-order (second-order) mage, but Josh didn't know what level he could play, not to mention that Josh himself was already in the fourth stage, so he didn't have to care at all.
"I look scarier than Dumbledore? Could it be that Dumbledore's strength is like that? ”
Josh crossed his hands and thought to himself, he hadn't noticed Crouch's incredulous gaze. Shaking his head, Josh didn't think much about it, he turned his head to look at Crouch, and only then did he notice the hellish expression of this guy who was about the same age as himself, and he said with some amusement:
"Mr. Edward, if you don't have anything to do, can you take us to Hogwoods, and I'll pay you enough."
"What..... What? Crouch didn't react at once, but soon he knew what Josh was talking about. Why would a character like you go to Hogwoods? ”
Crouch laughed dryly, feeling that his previous actions were really stupid. He actually went to study at Hogwoods with someone comparable to Professor Dumbledore? Although he still couldn't believe that this man who was about the same as himself was comparable to Dumbledore, he didn't think Olidfan would joke about it.
At the same time, he was also worried about what Josh was going to do at Hogwoods? Is it the same as in the novel to challenge Professor Dumbledore's position?
"Well, of course, it's to learn something I didn't understand, and find a quiet place to live by the way." Josh touched his chin and thought as he spoke. "Oh, and of course I can be a teacher at Hogwoods if I have to, after all, I don't have much money to come out."
"When..... Being a teacher? For money? Crouch couldn't keep up with Josh's pace, and he was still thinking about whether Josh was going to trouble Professor Dumbledore, and as a result, the style of painting changed to wanting to go to Hogwoods, and it was for money? This style of painting became a little unresponsive to Crouch.
"Of course, what else?" Josh gave him a strange look, and suddenly he reacted. It seems that he wants to be a powerful and young nobleman like himself always likes to challenge those who are old but have a high status, and it seems that this guy and that Olydfan think so.
Josh didn't bother to explain anything, though, because he might really have to fight Dumbledore. If you can't wait for your strength to be about the same as your own, then of course Josh won't let go of this opportunity to exercise well, as for Voldemort?
This guy might be better than Josh in the later stages, of course. But Josh didn't bother to spend time with him in the late stage, he had a way to solve this guy in the early stage.
"It's impossible to fully recover from the division of souls, and even if I don't remember how many so-called Horcruxes this guy has, I do know that there is a professor who is possessed, and Harry Potter is one. I'm looking for it slowly in the future, anyway, be careful, can a dead guy still compare with me? ”
Just as Josh's mind was leaping, Olidevan walked out with a small plate of rolls. His expression was a little inexplicable, very complicated, but he still asked very seriously: "This gentleman, may I ask which side of your dominant hand is?" ”
