Chapter 225 The Mystery of Staff Making

Ollivander is a character in the "Harry Potter" series who specializes in providing wands. He has the habit of a businessman but also has the persistence of an artist. He is known as one of the three major masters of wand making in Europe.The wand shop he opened is in Diagon Alley, but this business is more or less a monopoly, after all, he is the only wand shop in Diagon Alley.

Yu Hongshi led Lani and Gong Er into Diagon Alley after noon. The time when they entered the magic wand shop 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 on the side. He knew that Ollivander was not in a good mood at this time. After all, this guy just received Grindelwald last night and was questioned by the Ministry of Magic all morning. when.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that Grindelwald is a principled person, and I don't know where he got the Galleon. Anyway, he didn't rely on robbery as Yu Hongshi said.

However, this also allowed Yu Hongshi to know Ollivander's personality from the side. This guy obviously has no sense of right and wrong. Even if you are the Dark Lord, he can provide you with a wand.

"Okay, three guests, how can I help you? I like well-behaved guests!"

When the customers in the store had left, Ollivander finally came to entertain them.

Yu Hongshi pulled Gong Er, "This child will enter Hogwarts this year. I heard that Ollivander's wand shop is the best in the whole wizarding world, so we are here."

"Oh, what you heard is not wrong. Come on kid, let me measure it for you first. You must know that every wizard must first understand himself before he is qualified to choose a wand!"

Gong Er rolled his eyes vaguely, if this guy's "knowing himself" refers to the size of the tiger's mouth, the length of the arms, etc., then it is really superficial.

While Ollivander was measuring Gong Er, Yu Hongshi and Lani were watching the wands around them. The wands here were piled up on the ceiling at random. Still really personal style.

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

"What's your comment?"

"It's very versatile! Since the body of people in this world has very limited mental power, when holding a magic wand, it is equivalent to artificially creating a conduit for the mental power in the body, and then using various spells to achieve the effect. For example It’s like a sealed cup of drink, normally 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 that the principle is so simple, "I can understand the material used to guide the magic, but what is the mystery of the structure of the rod core?"

Lani picked up a seemingly useless wand, "Trees symbolize life, just like golden trees, so wood is also a good material for guiding magic, so most of the wands in every world are made of wood. But The texture of wood is natural and will not be changed by your artificial grinding. It can transmit magic power, but it will not direct the magic power to the target you want according to your ideas. Therefore, you need a wand core Assist in orientation!"

Yu Hongshi also reached out to take a magic wand, nodded and said, "Well, although the core of the wand is also a magic-guiding material, the main thing that plays the role of guiding magic is wood, and the core of the wand is used for positioning. The difference of the wand core is For what?"

Lani shook her head, "I'll have to look at it again, it seems that there are still some mysteries in it, but... the wand-making skills in this world seem to be inferior to mine."

"Shh, look again."

Ollivander on the other side has already started to choose a staff for Gong Er. I have to say that this is a physical effort. Seeing the old man climbing up and down, I don’t know how many sticks he tried, and he started to fall when he finally tried. I couldn't find a suitable hair.

Lani looked at the setting sun outside, and reminded: "Try cherry blossom wood and phoenix tail feathers." She reached out and took a box from the wall.

Ollivander was stunned for a moment, and just about to yell at him, he saw that after Gong Er pulled out the wand from the box, there was a faint ray of luster covering the wand, as if another layer of protective paint had been applied to the wooden wand.

"Wow, the core of the staff is made of cherry blossom wood and phoenix tail feathers. It is eleven inches long and is very delicately made. It's really... surprising!"

Yu Hongshi looked at Ollivander's weird expression and asked curiously: "Is there something wrong? Is it the cherry tree, or is there something wrong with the phoenix's tail feathers?"

"Is there a problem? No, there is nothing wrong with my wand, it's just... the phoenix is ​​a very spiritual bird. The wand will choose its owner, and the phoenix is ​​even more picky. Almost all wizards who use phoenix tail feathers as the core of the wand, finally In some ways they will have extraordinary contributions. Well, in some ways..."

Gong Er was confused by Ollivander's hesitant to speak, but Yu Hongshi understood. He remembered that Harry Potter's and Voldemort's wands were both phoenix's tail feathers, and their magical talents were undoubtedly excellent, so , Gong Er's magic talent is excellent?
"I thought the tail feathers of the phoenix were a very precious thing, it seems that they are not rare."

Ollivander looked like an old-fashioned science popularizer, "The phoenix is ​​indeed a very rare magical animal, but it also has the habit of shedding its hair, so the tail feathers of the phoenix are not rare to some extent. It is a bit similar to that of humans. There are many diamonds in the world, but there are not many large and high-quality diamonds. The same is true for phoenix tail feathers, there are not many that can be used to make wand cores."

"Teaching, how much is it?"

"Twelve Galleons."

"Okay, take it away."

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

However, just as Yu Hongshi was about to leave, Ollivander suddenly said, "Don't Mr. and Mrs. choose a wand? I don't think you have any wands."

Yu Hongshi was a little surprised, this old man has something. Many Muggle parents brought their children to buy wands during this period of time, but he was able to judge that they had magical powers even though they did not have wands.

Yu Hongshi thought for a while and said cheerfully, "Why not? Then I will trouble the old man."

The process is still maddening. Maybe Ollivander himself thinks he is very skilled, but Yu Hongshi thinks he is messing around. Finally, after trying seven wands, he found his wand. inch.

But when it was Lani's turn, it went much smoother, because it was Lani's own choice of wand, which basically hit once. Even Ollivander praised her for being lucky.
Cedar, unicorn hair, eleven inches, a gray-looking one, and a nice one.

So after paying another fifteen Galleons, Yu Hongshi took Lani and Gong Er back home. In fact, he wanted to buy magic robes and pets, who knew he wasted so much time there.

By the time the three of them returned to No. 18, Privet Drive, Grindelwald had already changed the look of the house, retro, deep, and aristocratic.

"It seems that you are in a good mood after getting the wand. Shall I remind you that there are many wizards hidden around here?"

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have recovered from the previous blow, and said calmly, "You really are not simple, and your plans are huge!"

Yu Hongshi was expressionless, but there were more than a dozen question marks in his heart. Did this guy misunderstand something?
"I have almost discovered the wizards hidden nearby. They always observe the family at No. [-] Privet Drive intentionally or unintentionally. I used a small trick to get acquainted with that family. Guess who the child of that family is ? Haha, it turned out to be the famous Harry Potter!"

Grindelwald's eyes flickered wildly, like a child who found a favorite toy, Yu Hongshi frowned, "Do you still care about the so-called savior?"

Grindelwald snorted disdainfully: "Voldemort is just a simple thug, and that's the kind of person I despise the most. But I still recognize his strength, and what interests me even more is that, as far as I know, Voldemort went to kill Harry Potter because of a prophecy, but he didn't expect to be killed because of it, which proves a wonderful wave of fate. However... I made another prophecy that there will be another storm that sweeps the entire wizarding world in the future , and this time the center of the storm is precisely that child!"

Yu Hongshi frowned, feeling a little disdainful, storm?Even Voldemort's small fight in the British territory is considered a storm?

Shaking his head, he stopped talking with him, but lowered his head and fiddled with his wand, from which he could faintly perceive something.

Grindelwald didn't pay attention to Yu Hongshi's action of using the wand as a toy. This is a guy who is extremely scary without a wand, and the wand may really be a toy to him.

Gong Er was dazzled, "Are you going to roll out the wand? What are you shaking?"

Lani put her hand on Gong Er's shoulder to stop her from continuing, "The same thing has different effects in the hands of different people. He is not playing but exploring the original mystery in the core of the stick."

Original mystery?

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

Lani nodded, and put her wand on the table casually, "The material and the wand core itself are not important, but the choice of the wand core is important. Humans are a very strange species, and other species will more or less It tends to be one-of-a-kind, but human beings are like an insulated species, neither of which can be matched, but they can cultivate. But this state of human beings has not always been like this. With different education, different thinking, and exposure to The environment is different, and the mental fluctuations of human beings will gradually approach a certain kind of wildness. And the materials used for the cores of these wands are mostly inclined to a certain kind of wildness, so when human beings’ mental fluctuations and wand core materials When the inclinations are the same, there will be a so-called 'suitable' situation. Although the wizards in the magic world don't understand the subtleties, they can choose wands based on the accumulation of experience. I have to say, there is something!"

Grindelwald blinked, to be honest, he didn't understand!

However, Gong Er looked at Yu Hongshi again, "So... is he experiencing the so-called essence of the prehistoric world?"

Lani looked at Yu Hongshi with serious eyes, "The core of his staff is the heart string of the dragon, and the path he walks is also the dragon of the wild, so he will have some understanding. But... I advise you to give up and go. There are countless people on the path of the Great Desolation Hundred Aspects Dragon, but so far no one has passed it, because... the side effects of this path are too great, and if there is a slight mistake, it will become a dragon!"
