Sword and Magic and Taxi

Ollivander’s wand shop is run by the Ollivander family for generations. It is said that it has existed for more than 300 years BC. When all wizards in the British magical world choose their wands, they choose this place. Mages from all over the world, If possible, I will come here to choose the right wand. [Full text reading] It is also the only wand shop in Diagon Alley.

This is a crowded, cramped and rundown shop. In front of the window, there is a magic wand placed on a faded purple mat on display. Next to the mat is written "The magic wand chooses the owner and stays with the owner for life." The cabinets in the store that reach the ceiling are filled with thousands of long narrow boxes containing all kinds of magic wands. Most of the wands made by Ollivander are made of wood, the thickness is similar to that of a person's little finger, and the length is different. The core of the wand is carefully selected. It is possible to use various natural materials, such as unicorn hair or dragon scale powder.

Mr. Ollivander either made the wand at the back of the store or just took a nap somewhere in the wand storage room. There is a bell ringing on the counter near the door, and it will make a clear and pleasant sound with a light touch. Accompanied by the voice of "Come, here comes", this generation of "Master Ollivander" walked out of the studio.

He was wearing a craftsman's clothes, and his large leather apron was full of signs of wear and burn. "Ah, it is the guests who came to buy the magic wand, welcome, and my shop will give you the best choice!"

"Hello, the two of us need magic wands." Tolkien pointed at Zhao Mai and himself. "We are going to school at Hogwarts."

"Such an age? Oh, yes, there was a problem with the spell of the Ministry of Magic, which wasted your time." Ollivander said: "But this is also good, that is, you have grown up and your physical condition has stabilized. It's easier to be picked by the wand. Which of you will come first?"

Tolkien volunteered. Ollivander took a tape measure from the pocket of his leather apron, measured Tolkien's arms, height, and head circumference, and then gave him a nine-inch wand with beech and unicorn hair. But before Tolkien tried to wave it, he took his wand back.

"Not suitable, not suitable, let's try this one, made of sycamore wood and phoenix feathers, seven inches."

Tolkien tried four wands and finally found the fifth one that suits him. When he waved the wand with the eight-inch maple branch and the giant eyelashes, a soft white light shone from the top of the wand.

"Very well, now this one belongs to you. It only requires six gold coins. After all, troll eyelashes are cheaper." Ollivander turned his head and looked at Zhao Mai: "It's your turn."

He took a six-inch ash wand, and it burned as soon as it reached Zhao Mai's hand. Ollivander hurriedly removed the wand and blew out the flames above with his mouth. "Wow, amazing phenomenon, this is the first time I have seen you!"

"the first time?"

"Yes, my first time. But our family history is not without experience in this area." Ollivander blinked: "You will be on the road of magic very difficult, quite difficult."

"Anything in this?"

"Actually, I don’t know. I only know how to make magic wands. I don’t know much about the others. It is said that people who can burn pewter wands have a physique that is talented in certain spells, but it is almost insulated against some spells. ." He took out seven magic wands one after another, but they either caught fire or didn't respond. "Challenging choice, interesting and interesting! Wait a minute for me!"

Ollivander turned around and ran to the workshop behind, and then there was the sound of tumbling over cabinets. Zhao Mai and Tolkien looked at each other and waited patiently. Ado looked around and curiously picked up a magic wand scattered on the counter: "Ado!"

A pale yellow light shone from the top of the wand.

"Ado!" The light went out, "Ado!" The light came on again. The giant had a lot of fun, waving his wand and talking about Adoado. Ollivander is back, his hair and shoulders are covered with gray, his nose is still stained with black dust, and he is holding this old paper bag tied with kraft rope. "Wow, the giant has found his own suitable wand, he is a lucky person. Come on, you can try this one."

Opening the paper bag, there is a gray slender branch with uncut branches on it. "Comprehensive branches!" Xiao Hua first shouted: "This is a branch of the comprehension tree. Although it has no vitality, I will not admit it!"

Ollivander frowned and looked around: "Hey, why does it seem that something strange is coming in, and it seems to be talking? Isn't it a hallucination?" He stared for a long time, but Still unable to see the little flower, he finally shook his head, thinking it was an illusion.

Zhao Mai picked up the comprehension tree branch with Ollivander's encouragement and waved it gently. A warm current rushed to the tip of the finger, and then turned into a red and blue light at the tip of the wand. Without Ollivander, Zhao Mai knew he had found the wand.

"Interesting and interesting, this wand has no core, but it can already show the power of magic, which is almost as I guessed." Ollivander said: "Other plants and animals can't reflect your characteristics, only you I can do it on my own. This wand can be used, but the stability is not good, so I need a few of your hair to put in the wand as the core of the wand. And I have to slightly treat its surface, polish it."

"Can you just keep it like this? I really like the two branches above."

Ollivander pondered for a while, then nodded: "No problem. But if there are twigs, it will be a bit slower to draw out and use the wand because it might hook clothes."

"This is not a problem." Zhao Mai considered that he has a storage bracelet, which makes it quite convenient to take things from it. He gritted his teeth and pulled a bunch of his hair to Ollivander.

"I have scissors...but it's okay." Ollivander smiled, wrapped Zhao Mai's hair in paper, and then said: "You guys wait for me here. It will take about half an hour~www.NovelMTL .com~This is the first ancient magic wand I made. It's worth remembering!"

Tolkien took out a small notebook and wanted to record what the ancient wand was, but Ollivander walked very quickly and was already behind, they had to wait patiently. They waited for half an hour, Addo also played for half an hour of "Turn on the lights and turn off the lights", Ollivander came back.

"Oh, the ancient wand?" He said after hearing the question, "A long, long time ago, the hair of relatives or their own was used in the wand. Children who have not yet become wizards use the hair of their father, mother, or grandparents to make wands. It can help guide and better exert magic power. Later, people discovered that the use of magical creatures or parts of magical creatures can make up for certain shortcomings in the use of human magic, and can increase the power of spells. In addition, the method of making magic wands has improved. It’s completely beyond the method of making blood-related hair, so we don’t use kin hair anymore."

He looked at Zhao Mai and said, "No matter how strong or weak, your magical power is very weird. I can't find suitable animals and plants to match you, so I thought of the method of making the ancient wand. By the way, the ancient wand has a problem. Unlike other magic wands, if the ancient magic wand is attacked, you will also be backlashed, so you have to be very careful to protect the magic wand. In ancient times, losing your magic wand and losing your life is not a joke."

After speaking, he handed the 13.14-inch long wand to Zhao Mai. (To be continued.)
