After enjoying a delicious lunch in this alternative magical world, Anne was curious and followed some strange wizards to discover 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 to such an extent, right? There are more mages and other ordinary people living together there, far from a world where this kind of society is composed purely of wizards!
Look at the brooms that are automatically cleaning the streets, the moving shop signs that automatically attract customers, the flying and talking books, the suitcases that follow their owners, and the magicians all over the streets? wizard? This all dazzled Anne! It turns out that magic can make life so convenient! Why had she never thought about it before?
The wizards in this world are really strange! These alternative wizards actually use magic to hide themselves in places where ordinary people cannot find them, thus completely separating the world of ordinary people from the world of magicians! They can coexist without affecting each other, and can also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble!
And most of their magic seems to be used more to facilitate life, which is not like Valoran! As far as Annie 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 spells to facilitate life! It can even be said that there are very few!
It turns out that when she was at the Leaky Cauldron, Annie was only concentrating on eating lunch and dealing with those struggling chocolate frogs, and didn't notice the hidden Diagon Alley! However, when she noticed that during the meal, more than twenty people emerged from the fireplace, then walked around the corner of the Leaky Cauldron bar and disappeared into the patio inside, Anne finally discovered something was wrong!
Because the patio over there is so small! There is simply no room for so many people! Then, there must be some hidden space inside! then! Under Annie's gold coin offensive, Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, humbly showed Annie how to find and open the door to Diagon Alley!
Not long after she arrived at this place called Diagon Alley, Anne was now in Ollivander's wand shop. She was arguing with Mr. Ollivander about something. The two were not convinced by each other, and they were arguing and confronting each other with red faces. On!
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 was far from the age for school! Logically speaking, there is no need for a wand!
But there are always some people, those from wealthy families or aristocratic families with well-educated families! It is also very common for them to always prepare a magic wand for their children in advance so that the children can be exposed to some magic in advance! Anyway, it is too easy for privileged people like them to find ways to circumvent the Ministry of Magic's monitoring of underage wizards!
After he started to receive this little girl customer, what happened next made Ollivander feel not so wonderful! Because this little girl named Annie has exploded more than ten wands from the beginning to now! You read that right! Just explode! If she roughly counted the wand handles on the ground, she had blown up a dozen valuable wands into a pile of wood chips that were no longer of any use! Only the handles are still intact!
If they are ordinary children, the most they can do is to cause a burst of magic chaos, or some random sparks, or lightning and other strange phenomena! But this little girl is extraordinary! As long as the wand was in her hand, as long as she waved it gently as he said! The wand immediately exploded into smithereens!
In fact, Ollivander doesn't think it's a big deal if it's just about blowing up some wands! After all, he made the wand himself! If it explodes, it will explode! It’s just a small loss at most! But what he really couldn't stand was the little girl's ridicule of his skills! Chi Guoguo’s taunt!
"You also call this a magic wand? They are just a piece of rotten wood! And then wrapped in a magic material used to channel magic power! What use can this kind of thing have except for conducting magic power? It has 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 best the conductivity of magic power, right?" These are Anne's original words! It was precisely because of these words that she completely offended Mr. Ollivander!
"Which kind of kid are you from? What do you know at such a young age? Let me tell you! A wizard cannot live without a wand! Because a wizard without a wand cannot cast spells! That's right! They do What you are talking about is just that the conductivity of different magic powers is different!" Ollivander paused, took a breath, and continued.
"However, precisely because of their different conductivities, every wizard must find a wand that best matches his own attributes and has the best conductivity! Only in this way can wizards cast spells better and more smoothly! No A wizard with a wand is not much different from a squib!" What the little girl just said really hit the pain point in Ollivander's heart! But he still kept his mouth shut! The old man is so stubborn!
The wand he made does not have any magic power amplification or magic power strengthening effects, but the good magic power conductivity alone is already amazing! You have to know that even the legendary Elder Wand of Dumbledore 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 allows it to easily release powerful spells! This is consistent with what Ollivander has been working towards for a long time!
Furthermore, the reason why he was so angry was because what this little girl said was too abominable! That's right! To put it bluntly, Ollivander's wand is just a piece of wood wrapped in different magical materials!
For example: dragon heart tendons, dragon heart strings, dragon nerves, unicorn hair, Veela hair, snake nerves, phoenix feathers, thestral tail feathers, etc.! These magic materials with different conductivity properties are combined with the same different logs. After combining the two, different wands can be made! None of these wands are exactly the same! Each wand has a different magical performance for each wizard's magic! This is the basis of his Ollivander existence!
It is precisely because of this that Ollivander asks wizards to select the wand that best suits them and best matches their own magic transmission from the massive wands he has made! If the wand and the wizard do not match, then the spells cast will not be powerful enough or may not be cast at all!
Over these countless years, Ollivander has accumulated a wealth of wand-making experience, and he is now able to make wands with increasingly better magical properties! Coupled with his original exquisite wood carving skills, the wands he produced are becoming more and more recognized by wizards! These things are all his unique secrets! The honor and belief he has always been proud of! And now, his traditional craftsmanship has been refuted by a little girl as worthless! How could he not be angry after hearing this?
"Tch! No matter how good the conductivity is, what's the use? Isn't it just a pile of rotten wood? Don't think that you are great just because you are wrapped in a bunch of weird things! And who told you that you can't cast spells without a wand? I'm just I don’t care about these things of yours!” Anne really didn’t like these short pieces of rotten wood! Short and ugly! It feels light and fluffy in the hand, and it doesn’t feel awkward at all!
They looked nothing like the wands Anne had imagined! In Annie's opinion, in addition to the most basic requirement of being compatible with magic power transmission, a wand must have a powerful magic gem or other thing as an energy supply center. After having an energy center, it must be engraved with some protection or attack features. Magic or magic circle to achieve simple spell casting or enhanced spell casting power!
This can be biased based on the different energy properties of the wand! For example: In addition to the increased spell power that ordinary wands have, the ice crystal scepter tends to have a freezing effect! The Void Rod tends to destroy demons! Angel's Staff tends to increase mana and protection! etc! There are other things that I won’t go into details about! Only things like this can be called magic wands! He's not just a piece of wood wrapped in some weird stuff!
The reason why Annie walked into this store just now was because she was looking forward to it! Because the sign outside its store says: "Ollivanders has been making exquisite wands since 382 BC"! This is an old shop that has been in business for thousands of years! I thought it must be very powerful! The treasure of the store should be at least at the level of an artifact, right?
But what's the result? Check it out now! What the hell is Ollivander doing? They only have one of the most basic magic power transmission properties! And the conductive properties are also different! Does it also vary from person to person? To put it nicely, choosing a wizard with a wand is actually just choosing the one that best matches the wizard from a large number of products with unstable quality! This can only fool those laymen who know nothing! Still want to lie to Annie? Hum! Don’t even think about it!
Besides, she never bothered to use a wand when casting spells! I always grab the fireball and just smash it over! How convenient it is to just use your hands! What kind of magic wand do you want? By the time they drew out their wands, Annie had enough time to throw out several fireballs!
Now Annie still has a wand made of infinite gems lying in her space pocket! It can not only open shields and control souls, but also has unlimited energy! This is called a magic wand! Not only can it enhance the power of spells to a certain extent, it can also be used to hit people if you are in a hurry! If Anne took out this magic wand, wouldn't she scare this stubborn old man to death? oh! correct! Now it doesn't seem to have unlimited energy! But the power of controlling the soul is still adequate!
"Okay, okay! You don't care! Then go! Get out! Old man, I really won't sell you a wand! You can find a wand that suits you! My store is too small and we don't have what you need!" Come on, let's go! I don't welcome a brat like you here!" Ollidander was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he lowered his face and started chasing people away! After living for so long, this is the first time he has done this kind of thing to drive away guests!
He no longer cares about the dozen wands he just blew up! He won't do this business! Anyway, this is his exclusive monopoly business, and he has the final say on how much Ollivander's wands are sold for! Sooner or later, he can recover this cost! Ollivanders is the only one selling wands in the British wizarding world, there is no semicolon! Love to buy! If you don’t buy it, get out!
Now Ollivander gets angry whenever he thinks of what this little girl said! A pile of rotten wood wrapped in weird stuff? What do you mean by this? He will never admit it! He will never tolerate anyone slandering his ancestral craftsmanship!
So, he not only has to chase customers! Also decided never to sell this little girl any wands again! He already remembered her face! If she wants to buy a wand again when she reaches school age, he will definitely let her buy it abroad! Anyway, he just won’t sell it to her here! This is the foundation of monopoly! If you want to buy it, you have to ask this old man! Hey! Ollivanders, a thousand-year-old store, really has this confidence!
"Humph! If you don't want to sell it, we won't sell it! It's just a pile of rotten wood! I don't even want it for free! Goodbye!" Annie replied angrily. She had just walked out of the store, and there was a "clang" from the door behind her. ! Closed hard! It seems she has been blacklisted and has become the most unwelcome customer at Ollivander's Wand Shop!
Pooh! If it doesn’t sell, it won’t sell! What's so bad! There are so many strange and interesting things here, Anne will not miss his rotten wooden wands! She planned to continue shopping while she still had time to see if there were any other strange things here that deserved her attention!
