Chapter 45 Legendary Figure
Ollivander's Wand Shop has been making wands since 382 BC.
Three hundred and eighty-two BC.
What happened in the world that year?
Kane was thinking, and remembered something.
A relatively elegant statement is that in the east, King Mourning of Chu appointed Wu Qi as prime minister, and in the west, Phoebe Das of Sparta occupied the Acropolis of Thebes.
What about the UK?
There was no Britain, and it was dominated by the Celts at that time. King Belinus was probably still in power. It is estimated that the stone wall was still erected in the swamp where Warbrook merged into the Thames, and the pier was built on the south side.
Who is Bellinus? This starts with the book "History of the British Kings" written by a Christian priest named Jeffrey in the small town of Monmouth, Wales, in 1138 AD.
This work is the greatest achievement of the pastor in his life. Kane once read it, and the first character chapter was very eye-catching.
According to Pastor Geoffrey, the first king of Britain was called Brutus.
This Brutus has a great background. He is the great-grandson of Aeneas, the great hero in the Battle of Troy.
When mentioning the Battle of Troy, the first thing that people think of is Agrus. That buddy's real gold bell-covered iron shirt is indeed unambiguous, except for the ankle door, which is completely invulnerable.
Which leg hair is Aeneas?
Well, Aeneas is not familiar to everyone, but everyone must be familiar with his mother, Aphrodite, also known as Venus, the Greek god of love.
Most of the more than one hundred kings in Jeffrey's "Kings of Britain" only have fighting stories like Greek mythology, and there is no information that can be analyzed and verified.
Choose the big one from the carrot, there is a king who has a little intersection with the real world, that is, the 23rd generation king Belinus, the original text has the modifier 'great emperor' at the end, Kane can't pronounce it.
According to records, this king once led the Britons to plunder Rome.
The so-called Britons are the Celts on the British Isles. This is to distinguish them from the British, because the latter refers to all people living on the British Isles, including the later Angles, Normans and so on.
The Celts did plunder Rome, specifically in southern Germany, which was called Gaul at the time. The Celts had the style of the ancient nomads at that time. Of course, they basically had no horses. Help the savages who live in thatched huts, sleep on straw mats, have no management system, and even have no words.
Kane felt that Jeffrey, a Christian pastor in a small Welsh town, slapped his head to make up history, moved the few bright spots of the Celtics from the interior of Europe to the British Isle, and then said it was the deeds of the king.
Also, the famous King Arthur is also mentioned for the first time in this "Kings of Britain".
This fifth-century figure was almost nine hundred years later than Belinus.
So, King Arthur is more real?
No, King Arthur is a recognized figure of legend.
What is a legendary figure? China's Yandi and Huangdi are legendary figures.
A common feature of legendary characters is that there are no records in the literature at that time, and only books mention it after hundreds of years, and the longer the relevant books are from the time when the characters existed, the fuller and more vivid the stories are.
In 1138, during the Crusades, theocracy was very stinky in the Western world, and the priest's words were equal to truth and truth.
Considering the background of this era, Kane's quality of the important historical work "Kings of Britain" becomes more and more clear.
The United Kingdom once spread its flags all over the world. It is understandable vanity for such an awesome country to find some ancestors of "creepy sprays" for itself.
But these are all allusions from his hometown in his previous life, maybe this world will be different?
So he wanted to hear what kind of anecdote Garrick Ollivander could 'order' his ancestors.
Compared with this,
Wands are not worth mentioning.
Based on his knowledge of making magical artifacts and his excellent craftsmanship, he felt that if he became a teacher for Ollivander, it would be the other party's high praise.
Ollivander's wand shop was small and dilapidated, and there was only a nondescript wand in the display window, which made Kane speechless.
Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley is indeed famous, and it can even be said to have become a cultural symbol of the British wizarding world.
We're all playing with corporate culture, why can't we tidy up the appearance a little?
A long history does not mean that it is dilapidated. Mystery requires style. This is clearly a beggar style. Could it be that this is the Diagon Alley sub-helm of the Beggar Clan?
When I entered the door, um, it seemed that I had arrived at a poorly managed slow-moving stationery box warehouse, and it was the kind that had suffered from flooding, fire, and a sandstorm.
Swish! A figure flashed out from behind a shelf that was enough to block the view, and the wand in his hand was aimed at Kane.
It was an old man, and his eyes with very light crystals looked like two shining moons against the dim light in the shop.
Kane was surprised, but after just being startled, he regained his composure.
"Hornbeam, principle and honor, regardless of good or evil, is more compatible with those wizards who are gifted and have a single and pure passion for things. I guess your wand uses dragon heart strings, strong, strong, strong. Join forces." Kane spoke eloquently: "But you are a bit rude in this way. Don't worry, I am not Voldemort."
The old man's expression was complicated, a little hesitant, and a little dignified, and finally put away his wand in a embarrassed manner.
Kane stared at the old man, and said: "I didn't notice your details before, but when you think about it seriously, your silver eyes are just a loophole, pure silver-cyan crystals, black pupils, this is a variant of the pupil of the moon, ancestor Someone was bitten by a vampire dragon lizard and mutated, or is it simply a member of its family?"
Kane continued: "It's no wonder that even Hagrid, that vulgar bastard, would be afraid of you when he saw you. His wild instinct is much stronger than that of ordinary wizards."
The old man is Garrick Ollivander, he has a very special talent, the eye of true sight, he can see some more essential things, so he can always recognize the blood of the wizard at a glance, so as to distinguish the other party belongs to which family.
But now, he couldn't see Kane's bloodline. Kane was so special that he had never heard of it, let alone seen it.
"Are you a Hogwarts student?"
"Soon to be."
Garrick was surprised: "You're only eleven years old?"
"Why, haven't you seen a high IQ? A pure-blood family can occasionally produce a wizard with a good brain, right?"
Garrick said inwardly, "You are not a purely intelligent boy at all, okay?"
But he's not as open as Kane.
Pretending to be cool for a while, the whole family crematorium.
Ollivander can be regarded as a typical example of a mature person. He is very aware of the dangers of the work he is engaged in. In recent years, he has tried to keep a low profile, instead of talking nonsense without knowing the door.
Kane is obviously a watering can. He was not like this in his previous life. It may be that he capsized and died too ugly in the gutter, which caused a bit of overkill in this life. Anyway, he has the meaning of joking about life, and he dares to throw out anything.
When chatting with Catherine, he joked, "After a few more years when I have free time to look around and see more things in the world, maybe I will become a crap like Smaug in [The Lord of the Rings]? The villain boss died of talking A lot, it’s quite touching to think about it.”
Of course, in fact, it is also divided into people and places.
Originally, he wanted to chat with Garrick and listen to stories.
If the other party speaks well, then he may consider teaching the other party a skill or two, so as to form a good relationship.
He also thought of Ollivander's intelligence value.
So many people's wands are in their hands, but this person's memory is exceptionally good. This means that he has the ability to give many wizards a profile, their temperament and hobbies, and even their spellcasting habits.
I didn't expect an extraordinary person to have extraordinary abilities. This is also a person whose bloodline is so strong that he has extraordinary talents, 'hot eyes'! With his current ability, he really can't fool others.
That said, he didn't want Ollivander to talk all over the place, but he wasn't the kind of murderous Voldemort, so what should he do?
contract, bribe.
Human beings have weaknesses, and those who are obsessed with making wands like Ollivander have more and more obvious weaknesses.
Kane felt that he was perfectly capable of scratching Garrick's itch...
