When several people and a giant dragon successfully activated Shirji's apparation magic and successfully escaped from the island in the middle of the lake and instantly returned to the City of Holy Light, Gus quickly settled down with Casca and Gaut and his daughter, he couldn't wait to devote himself wholeheartedly to the daily training and defense reorganization of his Holy Light Legion and Paladins.
It was obvious, from the reactions of the ambush on their way back and the number of apostles dispatched by Falconia, that he knew that their City of Holy Light must have become a thorn in the opponent's side, and they would not stop fighting. , the other party may send troops to attack their territory at any time, so he must be careful and make relevant preparations.
In fact, from the moment he killed Naguren Belludo, captured thousands of the opponent's soldiers, issued a memorandum announcing the despicable acts of the 'Eagle of Light', and exposed the opponent's true identity, they were already in a state of non-death. It's just that Gus and Shirji never expected that the other party's reaction would be so fast, sudden and fatal. They almost succeeded in capturing the thief and the king, leaving Gus, the leader of the Holy Light Legion, at the lake. ?
But fortunately, the legion witch Shirji is still very powerful. Anyway, they escaped safely and smoothly. Therefore, now that they know some actions that the enemy may carry out, they naturally race against time to prepare relevant countermeasures. .
For example, they should train the army, train the paladins, expel all kinds of monsters outside the City of Holy Light, restore various villages, farmland, mines, and establish strongholds and defensive fortresses on the periphery, etc.
Anyway!
The City of Holy Light, Gus and others are very busy now. Anyway, Annie basically doesn't do anything serious. She just eats, drinks and has fun all day long. She hasn't seen each other for several days. She doesn't know the details of those guys. What are you busy with?
Fortunately, Anne is not the only idler in the City of Holy Light.
Isn’t this?
"Eh?"
(°ー°〃)
"Hey! Erica!"
╭(°°)╮
"What are you doing?"
(o)
When she was wandering in the garden of the Lord's Fortress, she immediately saw Erica who was sitting on the stone bench in the garden and was busy with something, so she didn't even think about it and shouted hello to him from a distance. And got together.
Now that she was idle, she was idle, so between continuing to wander aimlessly or chatting with Erica, she resolutely chose the latter.
"I did not do anything……"
"Of course I'm learning magic!"
Seeing that the person coming was Anne, Erica did not hide anything and directly raised the book she was holding in her hand.
It was "Standard Spells, Elementary" by Miranda Gorshak. It was a complete set of books that Annie had given to Shirji at his request. But now for some unknown reason, this most basic first-grade textbook appeared in Erica's hand.
"Standard spell?"
(﹁“﹁)
"What do you think this is?"
(**;)
Annie, who didn't know what Erica meant by seeing this thing, couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Of course it's studying!"
"I officially became my teacher to Sister Shirji yesterday, and she started teaching me magic knowledge. Don't you know?"
Hearing this, Erica asked in surprise.
"have no idea……"
(**)
"But why do you want to learn magic? Didn't you vomit enough that day?"
(′~`;)
Anne never cared or inquired about such things, so of course she didn't know.
However, I remembered that day Shirji took the risk to apparate Gus, Erica, Gott, Rickett, Casca and the dragon directly back to the outside of the City of Holy Light and caused Gus to apparate. When the person barely recovered after vomiting and languishing for a whole day, she was a little confused that Erica could still make up her mind to learn that kind of magic.
"What can I do?"
"Dad Gott didn't allow me to join the Legion of Light. He also said that my power mainly relies on weapons, which are basically unreliable. Those things will eventually be used up one day."
"So, after thinking about it, I had no choice but to learn magic from Sister Shirji."
As she spoke, Erica glanced at Annie with a resentful look, then pursed her lips and sighed.
"Is that so?"
(^▽^)
"Then you have to study hard!"
(*'▽'*)
"Goodbye~!"
(Θ)э~
Anne pretended that she couldn't understand the resentful look the other party looked at her. She never mentioned that she was unwilling to teach the other party magic in the first place. She just asked him about it and gave him some encouragement before preparing to leave.
"etc!"
"Almost forgot!"
"One more thing!!"
However, at this moment Erica suddenly remembered something, then ran to Annie and opened her hands.
"?"
(⊿)
"What are you doing again?"
(˙o˙)
Blinking, looking at Erica who stretched out her hand to stop her, Anne felt a little wary, but she still didn't show it, she just asked in a crisp voice, pretending to be ignorant.
"Wand!"
"Teacher Shirji said, I need a magic wand!"
"But she doesn't know how to make that kind of beautiful short wand, and she doesn't have any extra. So, she said, she can only let me find an opportunity to ask you for one?"
"You just happened to ask, so now!"
While Erica said this without any politeness, she actually opened her hand and stretched it out to Annie, signaling Annie to quickly get a wand for her.
"Magic wand..."
(O`)
"But, you don't have magic power, so a wand doesn't seem to be of any use!"
()
Blinking again, looking at the 'Muggle' in front of her, Anne struggled for a long time, and finally had to politely refuse.
Wands and the like are not difficult for Anne, but it is useless to give the other party a wand, and learning is useless. Therefore, she does not intend to waste time doing things that are destined to have no results.
Of course, the most important thing is that Anne thinks that the weapons she gave to the opponent are much easier to use than magic, and they are also very lethal. Ordinary apostles, even high-level apostles, have to run around when they see them, and As long as you are brave enough, you can defeat the giant dragon, so of course there is no need to learn that kind of laborious and thankless magic.
"I don't have magic power!"
"But!"
"Teacher Shirji said she has a way!"
Having said this, Erica couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"??"
(.)
Listening to the other party's words, Annie was also a little surprised, and then hurriedly asked subconsciously:
"What's the solution?"
(O)
I remember that when she was in the Caribbean, she used some opportunistic methods to turn a group of fake witches into 'real' witches. However, she was very strong at that time, at least at the level of demigods. The mage is definitely not comparable to that idiot Shirji.
So, of course, she didn't really believe that Shirji could really make Erica, who had no magic talent, learn the magic of Hogwarts in her lifetime.
"It's an elemental spirit!"
"Teacher Shirji said, she said that as long as she teaches me how to resonate with the elemental elves, I can borrow the magic power of the elemental elves, and then cast spells through spells and wands!"
"how?"
"Isn't that a good idea?"
Erica doesn't know what an elemental elf is, but she only knows that according to the estimation of her teacher Shirji, Erica can learn and use the most basic skills in as little as three to five months, or as long as one and a half years. There is no suspense about the magic.
"Alas!"
=('ヮ'=)
"It does seem feasible!"
(○ε○)
"If you only use the magic power of the elemental elves but do not use the opponent's domain power and magic, you can indeed avoid the serious consequences of soul loss. At most, you only need to resonate and prepare before each spell. , are you a little troublesome?"
(O ^~^ O)
After hearing this, Anne briefly analyzed it and quickly came to the conclusion that the method was indeed feasible, and also explained some of its pros and cons.
"Is that really okay?"
"Very good!"
When she heard that Annie also recognized Shirji's statement, Erica naturally cheered.
"So!"
"Annie..."
"Give me a wand? Please!"
Then, after cheering, of course she eagerly approached Anne again, looked into Anne's big green eyes, and began to beg nervously.
"..."
(ó﹏ò)”
"And what kind of wand do you want?"
ε=(ο`*)))Alas
Anne sighed first, and then asked helplessly.
When Erica asked her for a wand, Annie made excuses to refuse her, and then gave her a bunch of useless toys to get rid of. But now the other party just wanted a wand. If she still wanted to do that kind of thing, If you refuse, it would indeed be a bit too much.
"It's easy!"
"Same as Mr. Shirji, just use a wand made of your hair!"
"May I?"
Erica has heard about it. It is said that the short wand of her teacher Shirji is very, very powerful. Just a fire spell can burn an entire forest, and the phantom can only be teleported by one person. The ability to transform has become so exaggerated that it can carry several people and a dragon, so that Teacher Shirji often doesn't dare to use it, so of course Erica wants the same one.
"!!"
('')
Hearing this, Annie was startled.
"no!"
(д)
"A wand made of other people's hair is definitely not acceptable!"
o(╥﹏╥)o
Without even thinking about it, Annie quickly waved her hand in rejection.
"ah?"
"why not?"
"You have so much hair, at least tens of thousands of hairs, right?"
"What's wrong with taking one and making someone a magic wand?"
She didn't expect that such a simple request could be rejected. Erica was of course confused and aggrieved. In her opinion, a wand made of hair was a very simple thing. If it were her, Let alone one stick, she would be willing even if it was a hundred or a thousand!
"no!"
(O ^~^ O)
"It just doesn't work anyway!"
(lll¬▽¬)
Anne has seen it before. The power of the wand made of her own hair is too terrifying, and most of the time the power is uncontrollable. It may also cause some impact and danger to the world, and may even have some conflicts with herself. A connection?
In short, after trying it once, Anne is no longer going to do something that would cause trouble for herself. No one can persuade her!
But Tibbers's bear hair is fine. If Erica doesn't mind, she can pluck out a handful and make a few for him.
(…)
(¬¬.)
"But!"
"Teacher Shirji can't continue teaching me magic without a wand."
"Annie..."
"Please, just give me a wand!"
Although she didn't know why, Erica still felt aggrieved and just kept shaking Annie's hand, even to the point of crying.
"..."
(′~`;)
"Alright alright!!"
(*ο`*)
After struggling for a while, and then seeing Erica's appearance, Annie had no choice but to struggle again and again, and finally had to reluctantly agree.
"Wow!"
"Very good!"
Seeing this, Erica's face changed instantly, and then while cheering, she was ready to reach out and pull Annie's hair, and chop it off first.
"!!"
!? ('')
"what are you doing?!"
(ˇεˇ)
Fortunately, Annie had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she dodged immediately. Otherwise, God knows how many strands the other party would have pulled off with that one blow.
"??"
"Of course I'm going to pull out my hair and make a wand out of it!"
"Didn't you already agree?"
Erica was a little confused, and as she spoke, she stretched out her hand again confidently, ready to pull some hair off Annie's head.
"I'm not using other people's hair!"
(`^)
"Here!"
(ψ`▽′)o
"Here you go, these wands, you can choose the one that suits you!"
|ω)
As she spoke, Anne waved her hand, and then a large number of Ollivander's wands were thrown to the floor by her like firewood.
As for where those wands came from, she didn't want to say more, because it was a very philosophical question that couldn't be easily explained, and she didn't want to explain it.
(…)
乛乛
"!!"
"Is this, so much?"
"That……"
"Then how do I choose?!"
Seeing that there were at least hundreds of wands in the area in front of her, and they all looked almost the same as Shirkey's, Erica was instantly stunned and dumbfounded.
"Just take one and wave it around, whatever feels good!"
(ψ`▽′)o
"The length, wood, core and craftsmanship of each of them are different. Some are made of unicorn tail feathers, some are made of fire dragon heartstrings, and some are made of phoenix tail feathers. It's amazing. !”
(^o^)
Anne explained somewhat against her will.
Anyway, she will definitely not tell this idiot Erica in front of her: How big is the difference between these wands and the wand in Shirji's hand that is made of her own hair and made by herself? How outrageous!
"!?"
"Made of materials from dragons and phoenixes?"
"So magical?"
Erica was indeed fooled, and exclaimed as she rushed directly to the pile of wands and picked them dizzyingly.
"Everything is fine..."
“It’s so hard to choose!”
"So……"
After choosing again and again, Erica, who liked them all and couldn't make a decision, rolled her eyes. Then, while Annie wasn't paying attention, she quickly picked up the wands and kept pulling them into her storage bag. Then he grabbed all the magic wands on the ground in an instant.
"Ha ha!"
"I want everything to be fine!"
Only children would do that kind of multiple-choice question, so after drawing the numbers, before the stunned Annie could come back to her senses, Erica cheered and ran into the distance, preparing to escape from the scene first, and then go back and slowly pick the questions. .
"!!"
━(Δ∥)━ン
"Hello!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"One stick is enough, that thing is inedible!!"
=()!!
Seeing this, Annie subconsciously waved her hand and shouted at the other person's back, and at the same time wanted to stop the other person.
"It doesn't matter!"
"I will only pick one, and I will keep the rest. Maybe Teacher Shierji will accept disciples in the future?"
"Maybe I, Archmage Erica, will also accept disciples in the future?"
"That way, I don't have to bother you anymore, Annie!"
"That's it!"
After turning around and speaking cautiously, Erica, who was dreaming of the 'Arch Mage', never gave Annie any chance and ran away. Soon she disappeared, even the things she had put on the stone table. I didn't even care about the magic book.
"..."
(′~`●)
"All right!"
ε=(ο`*)))Alas
"I don't care!"
(__*)
Anyway, the pile of wands were not hers, so Anne looked around guiltily, and when she found that no one was there, she patted her butt and walked away with peace of mind.
(…)
(● ̄ ̄●)
…
At the same time, in Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley in another dimension, someone was in big trouble.
"!!"
"Merlin!"
"Where's my wand?"
"Where are the piles of wands that I just took out for maintenance and dusting?"
"There were hundreds of them, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Ollivander, who is known as the best wand maker in the world, was stunned when he saw the maintenance table that was just piled with wands but was now empty.
You know, that is almost 11% of the inventory in his wand shop. The sales volume at the beginning of Hogwarts every year is not that many, and some of them are hundreds of years old and are as good as bones. The old wooden wands existed to some extent, but now, they have all disappeared, not one of them is missing, and there is no movement at all?
Rubbing his presbyopic eyes vigorously, he couldn't figure out why someone could sneak into his wand shop, which had countless spells and protective capabilities no less than the Gringotts vault, and steal so many items silently under his nose. of the wand?
"All right!"
"It seems..."
"I must write a letter to the Ministry of Magic."
After wandering around the store several times, searching everywhere, and discovering that they had indeed completely disappeared, Old Ollivander had no choice but to sigh and move toward his owl loft. Walking around.
"Why is it missing?"
"strangeness."
So, just like that, a few days later.
The "Daily Prophet" in this world's magical world naturally published several pieces of breaking news that occupied several pages:
'The mystery of the missing wand! '
'Shock! '
'A great heist has occurred with Ollivander's wand! '
'Hundreds of wands have disappeared, and all Aurors from the Ministry of Magic have been out searching for clues for many days without success. The Ministry of Magic calls on wizards to be careful and provide clues, and there will be heavy rewards! '
'Did the mysterious man come back again, or was it just an accident? '
'Dumbledore was interviewed and had a big speech about it! '
