Chapter 338

Olivander's wand shop is run by the Olivander family for generations. It is said that it has existed for more than 300 years B.C. It's also the only wand shop in Diagon Alley.

It's a crowded, cramped, run down shop. In front of the window, there is a magic wand on a faded purple mat. Next to the mat, it says, "the magic wand selects the owner and accompanies the owner for a lifetime.". There are thousands of long narrow boxes filled with all kinds of magic wands in the cupboards that go up to the ceiling. Most of the wands made by Ollivander use wood as the main material, which is similar in thickness and length to the little finger. The materials for the core of the wand are exquisite, and various natural materials may be used, such as Unicorn hair or dragon scale powder.

Mr. Ollivander either makes wands in the back of the store or takes a nap somewhere in the wand store. There is a ring on the counter near the door. A touch will make a clear and pleasant sound. With the voice of "coming, this is coming", this generation of "master Ollivander" came out of the studio.

He was dressed in craftsman's clothes, and his large leather apron was full of marks of abrasion and burning. "Ah, it's the guests who come to buy magic wands. Welcome, my shop will give you the best choice!"

"Hello, we both need wands." Tolkien pointed to Zhao Mai and himself. "We're going to Hogwarts for school."

"So old? Oh, by the way, there's something wrong with the Ministry's spell. It's holding up your time. " "But it's also good that you've grown up, you've stabilized and you're more likely to be picked by the wand," Ollivander said. Who will come first? "

Tolkien volunteered. Ollivander took a tape measure from his leather apron pocket, measured Tolkien's arm, height and head circumference, and gave him a nine inch beech and unicorn hair wand. Before Tolkien tried to wave, he took the wand back.

"inappropriate, inappropriate, try this, Wutong wood and phoenix feather, seven inches."

Tolkien tried four wands, and finally found a suitable one in the fifth. As he waved the eight inch Maple wand with Troll eyelashes, a soft white glow lit up from the top of the wand.

"Good. Now this one is yours. It only needs six gold coins. After all, trolls' eyelashes are cheaper." Ollivander turned to look at Zhao Mai: "it's your turn."

He took a six inch White Wax wand and it burned as soon as it reached Zhao Mai's hand. Ollivander quickly took the wand away and blew out the flame with his mouth. "Wow, it's the first time I've seen it!"

"The first time?"

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

"Is there any way of saying that?"

"In fact, I don't know. I only know how to make magic wands. I don't know much about other things. It is said that the person who can make the white wax wand burn will have great talent in some incantations, but almost no talent for some incantations. " He took out seven kinds of wands one after another, but they either caught fire or didn't respond. "Challenging choices, fun! Just a moment, please

Ollivander turned and ran to the back of the workshop, where the sound of rummaging came. Zhao Mai and Tolkien look at each other and wait patiently. Ah duo looked around and curiously picked up a magic wand scattered on the counter: "ah duo!"

A pale yellow light came up from the top of the wand.

"Ah duo!" The light went out, "ah duo!" The light came on again. The giant was having a good time, waving his magic wand and saying "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Ollivander came back with gray hair and shoulders, and a mass of black ash on his nose. He was holding this old paper bag tied with cowhide rope. "Wow, the giant has found his right wand. It's a lucky companion. Come on, try this one

Open the paper package, inside is a gray slender branches, there are uncut above the fork. "Understand the tree branch!" Floret first called up: "this is a branch of the tree of realization, although it has no vitality, but I will not admit it wrong!"

Ollivander frowned and looked around. "Why, it seems that something strange has mixed in and is still talking? Isn't it auditory hallucination? " He glanced for a long time, but still could not see the flower, and finally shook his head, thinking it was an illusion.

Encouraged by Ollivander, Zhao Mai picked up the twig and waved it gently. A warm current surged up to the fingertips, and then turned into the red and blue light of the wand tip. There is no need for Ollivander to say that Zhao Mai knows that he has found the magic wand.

"Interesting. This wand doesn't have a core yet, but it can show the power of magic, which is similar to what I expected." "Other plants and animals don't reflect you, only you," Ollivander said. This wand can be used, but the stability is not good, so I need some of your hair to put into the wand as the core. And I'm going to have to do a little bit of surface treatment and polish it. ""Can you just keep it like this? I like the two branching branches

Ollivander pondered for a moment, then nodded: "no problem. However, if there are twigs, it will be a little slower to take out the wand and use the wand, because it may hook the clothes. "

"That's not a problem." Considering that Zhao Mai has a storage bracelet, it's quite convenient to take things from it. He bared his teeth, tugged at a pinch of his hair and gave it to Ollivander.

"I have scissors But it doesn't matter. " Ollivander laughed, wrapped Zhao Mai's hair in paper, and then said, "you'll wait for me here for about half an hour. This is the first ancient magic wand I made. It's worth remembering

Tolkien took out his little book and wanted to record what the ancient magic wand was, but Ollivander walked so fast that they had to wait patiently. They waited for half an hour. Addo also played "turn on the lights and turn off the lights" for half an hour. Ollivander came back.

"Oh, ancient magic wand?" When he heard the question, he said, "a long time ago, a wand was made of the hair of a relative or his own. Children who have not yet become witches make magic wands from the hair of their fathers, mothers or grandparents, which can help guide and play magic better. Later, it was found that the use of magical creatures or some organizations of magical creatures can make up for the lack of using human magic in some way, and can enhance the power of incantations. In addition, the method of making magic wands has been improved, which completely exceeds the method of making blood hair, so we no longer use the hair of relatives. "

He looked at Zhao Mai and said, "your magic power, no matter how strong or weak, is very strange. You can't find the right animals and plants to match you. So I thought of the manufacturing method of ancient magic wands. By the way, the old magic wand had a problem. Unlike other wands, if the ancient wand is attacked, you will also be backfired, so you should be very careful to protect the wand. In ancient times, if you lost your wand, you lost your life. It's not a joke. "

With that, he handed Zhao Mai the 13.14 inch wand.
