Chapter 41 Not All Wood Can Be Called a Magic Wand

After enjoying a delicious lunch in this magical world, Anne followed some strange wizards out of curiosity and discovered this place called Diagon Alley! It seems that this should be a special market where these wizards gather to trade magic items?

Seeing this street full of exotic magic, Anne also had a refreshing feeling! Because, even in the continent of Valoran, there seems to be no place where magic can be applied to life to such an extreme, and even to the point where everything is trivial, right? There are more mages and other ordinary people living there, far from reaching a world composed solely of wizards like this kind of society!

Look at the brooms that are automatically cleaning the streets, the moving shop signs that automatically attract customers, the books that can fly and talk, the suitcases that follow their owners, and the magicians all over the street? wizard? This made Annie dazzled! It turns out that magic can make life so convenient! How had she never thought of it before!

The wizards in this world are really strange! These alternative wizards actually use magic to hide themselves in places where ordinary people can't find it, thus completely separating the world of ordinary people from the world of magicians! It can coexist without affecting each other, and it can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles!

And most of their magic seems to be used more to facilitate life, which is not quite like Valoran! As far as Anne knows, Valoran's magic is more focused on combat! Even Annie herself seems to have practiced mostly combat spells! Or some combat-related spells! There are relatively few magic spells to facilitate life! It can even be said that there are very few!

Back at the Leaky Cauldron, Anne was so focused on eating lunch and dealing with those struggling chocolate frogs that she didn't notice the hidden Diagon Alley! However, when she noticed that during the meal, more than twenty people emerged from the fireplace, and then went around the corner of the Leaky Cauldron bar and disappeared into the patio inside, Anne finally realized something was wrong!

Because the patio over there is so small inside! There is simply no room for so many people! Then, there must be a hidden space inside! then! Under Annie's gold coin offensive, Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, humbly demonstrated to Annie how to find and open the gate to Diagon Alley!

Not long after I came to this place called Diagon Alley, Anne is now in Ollivander's wand shop. She is arguing with Mr. Ollivander about something. Go!

At the beginning, Mr. Ollivander thought Anne was here to buy a wand! Although he also knew that this little girl looked a little younger, and she was far from the age of school! It stands to reason that there is no need for a wand!

But there are always some people, those rich families or noble families with family background! They always prepare a wand for their child in advance, so that the child can get in touch with some magic in advance, which is also very common! Anyway, for privileged people like them, it is too easy to find a way to bypass the Ministry of Magic's monitoring of underage wizards!

After starting to receive this little girl customer, the next thing made Ollivander feel that it was not so wonderful! Because this little girl named Annie has blown up more than a dozen magic wands from the beginning to now! You read that right! It's fried! If she roughly counted the handles of the wands on the ground, she had already blown up a dozen or so valuable wands into a pile of useless wood chips! Only the handles are still intact!

If it is an ordinary child, the most they can do is to cause a burst of magic chaos, or some random sparks, or visions like lightning! But this little girl is very unusual! As long as the wand is in her hand,

As long as she waved lightly as he said! The wand exploded into crumbs in no time!

In fact, Ollivander didn't think it was a big deal if he just blew up a little wand! He made the wand himself, after all! When it explodes, it explodes! Lose a little cost at most! But what he really couldn't stand was: the little girl's mocking of his skills! Chi Guoguo's taunt!

"You call this a magic wand? They just use a piece of rotten wood! Then wrap a piece of magic material to channel magic power! What is the use of this kind of thing other than to transmit magic power? There is no magic power increase ! There is no spell enhancement! There is no engraved magic circle! There is no enchantment! The difference between them is at most the ability to transmit magic power, right?" These are Annie's original words! It was precisely because of this sentence that she completely offended old Mr. Ollivander!

"Which family are you from? What do you know at such a young age? I'll tell you! Wizards can't live without wands! Because wizards without wands can't cast spells! That's right! They do What you said is just that the conduction properties of different magic powers are different!" Ollivander paused, took a breath, and continued.

"However, because of their different conductivities, every wizard must find a wand that best matches his own attributes and has the best conduction performance! Only in this way! Wizards can cast spells better and more smoothly! No There is not much difference between a wizard with a wand and a squib!" The little girl's words just hit the pain point in Ollivander's heart! But he still insisted on being stubborn! Old men are so stubborn!

The magic wand he made does not have any effects of mana amplification and mana strengthening, but good magic power conductivity alone is already amazing! You have to know that even the legendary Dumbledore's Elder Wand can only cast great magic power, and the holder can easily cast powerful magic! That's all! To put it bluntly, the Elder Wand has better and more compatible magic conductivity! This makes it easy to release powerful spells! This is consistent with the direction that Ollivander has been working on for a long time!

Furthermore, the reason why he was so angry was because what the little girl said was a little too hateful! That's right! To put it bluntly, his Ollivander's wand, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a piece of wood wrapped with different magic materials!

For example: dragon heart tendons, dragon heartstrings, dragon nerves, unicorn hair, veela hair, snake nerves, phoenix feathers, thestral tail feathers and more! These magical materials with different conductive properties are matched with logs with the same difference. After combining two pairs, different wands can be made! None of these wands are ever exactly alike! Each wand works differently on each wizard's magic! This is the basis of his Ollivander existence!

It is precisely because of this that Ollivander asked the wizards to choose a wand that suits them best and best matches their own magic power transmission from the massive wands he made! If the wand and the wizard don't match, then the spell cast will not be powerful enough or will not be cast at all!

Over the past countless years, Ollivander has accumulated rich experience in making wands, and he is now able to make some wands with better and better magic performance! Coupled with his original exquisite wood carving skills, the wands he produced are also more and more recognized by wizards! These things are all his unique secrets! He has always been proud of the honor and belief! But now, his traditional craftsmanship was refuted to be worthless by a little girl! How could he not be angry after hearing this?

"Cut! What's the use of good conductivity? Isn't it just a pile of rotten wood? Don't think that you're amazing if you wrap it in a bunch of weird things! And who told you that you can't cast spells without a wand? I don't know. I don't care about these things of yours!" Annie really didn't like these short rotten logs! Short and ugly! It's still light in the hand, and it doesn't take advantage of it at all!

They were nothing like those wands Anne had imagined! In Anne's opinion, in addition to being compatible with the most basic requirement of magic power transmission, the wand also needs to have a powerful magic gem or other things as the energy supply center. The magic or magic circle, in order to achieve the power of simple casting or enhanced spellcasting!

This can be biased depending on the energy properties of the wand! For example: In addition to the increased spell power that ordinary magic wands have, the ice crystal scepter tends to have a freezing effect! The Void Rod tends to destroy demons! Angel Rods tend to increase mana and protection! and many more! There are others so I won’t repeat them any more! Only things like this can be called magic wands! It's not like he wrapped a piece of wood with some weird things!

The reason why Annie walked into this store just now was because she was looking forward to it! Because the sign outside its store reads: "Ollivander, making excellent wands since 382 BC"! This is an old shop that has been around for thousands of years! I thought it must be great! The treasure of the town store should be at least at the level of an artifact, right?

But what happened? Check it out now! What the hell is Ollivander doing? They only have one of the most basic magic power conduction attributes! And the conductivity is different! Also vary from person to person? To put it nicely: the selection of a wizard with a wand is actually just a matter of selecting the one that best matches the wizard himself from a large number of products with unstable quality! This can only fool those laymen who don't understand anything! Still want to lie to Annie? hum! Don't even think about it!

Besides, she has never bothered to use a wand when casting spells! It's always just grabbing the fireball and smashing it over! How convenient it is to use your hands directly! What ghost wand do you want? By the time they pulled out their wands, Annie had enough time to throw out several fireballs!

Now Anne still has a magic wand made of infinite gems lying in her space pocket! It can not only open the shield, control the soul, but also have unlimited energy! This is called a magic wand! Not only can it enhance the power of spells to a certain extent, but it can also be used to hit people when you are in a hurry! If Anne took out this wand, wouldn't the stubborn old man be scared to death? Oh! correct! Now it doesn't seem to have infinite energy either! But the power to control the soul is still appropriate!

"Okay, okay! You are not rare! Then go! Get out! I really won't sell you a wand, old man! You can find a wand that suits you! My shop is too small, and I don't have what you need! Let's go! I don't welcome a brat like you here!" Ollidand was so angry that his hair was standing on end, he pulled his face and began to chase people away! After living for so long, this is the first time he has done this kind of thing to drive away guests!

He doesn't care about the dozen or so wands he just blew up! He didn't do this business! Anyway, this is a monopoly business for him, and he has the final say on how much Ollivander's wand sells for! This cost will be recovered by him sooner or later! Ollivanders is the only one who sells wands in the British wizarding world, there is no semicolon! Love to buy! Don't buy it!

Now he, Ollivander, gets angry when he thinks about the little girl! A bunch of rotten logs wrapped in weird stuff? What are you talking about? He will never admit it! And we must not tolerate anyone's slander of his ancestral craftsmanship!

Therefore, he not only wants to drive away customers! Also decided to never sell this little girl a wand again! He already remembered her face! If she wanted to buy a wand again when she was old enough to go to school, he would definitely let her go abroad to buy one! Anyway, he just won't sell it to her here! This is the power of monopoly! If you want to buy it, you have to ask him, an old man! Hey! Ollivander's millennium-old store really has such confidence!

"Hmph! If you don't sell it, don't sell it! It's just a pile of rotten wood! I don't even want it for free! Goodbye!" Annie also replied angrily. She had just walked out of the store when the door behind her immediately "bang" ! Close it hard! It looks like she's been blacklisted as the least welcome customer at Ollivander's wand shop!

Pooh! If you don't sell it, don't sell it! How fierce! There are so many strange and interesting things here, and Anne will not be rare for his rotten wooden wands! She intends to continue shopping while she still has time, to see what else is worth her attention!
