After designing the length and size of the wand, Hope thoughtfully used the transformation spell to turn the parchment into the shape of the wand. After everyone took it in their hands and made some minor adjustments, the final shape of the wand was finalized.
Afterwards, Mateo brought a set of carving tools and walnut wood, as well as a book "Sculpting from Beginner to Master".
Mateo distributed the carving tools to several people and said, "I leave the task of wand carving to you." He then pointed to the "Sculpting from Beginner to Master" and said, "This is a guide book."
So careless? Hope said speechlessly: "How can we do this? How about you suffer for a while?"
Mateo said angrily: "I can't learn it. I believe you. I also need to prepare the magic potion to enchant the wand."
Originally, he planned to make a few ordinary wands, and test whether he had become a qualified wand maker, but he didn't know if he had a headache and believed Hope's lies. Take a look at these designed wands. His head hurts. If I feel bad, you will feel bad too!
Hope used a saw to divide the walnut wood. The part he took was larger because his magic pistol was larger than other people's wands.
Looking at the design drawings, Hope was confused and had no idea where to start. After discussing with Mateo, his magic pistol had been split into several parts. All he had to do was carve out these parts and then splice them together. The requirements for carving are a bit high. If there is a slight gap, it will not be able to be spliced together. If it is larger, it can be polished later, but if it is smaller, it will have to be carved again.
Hope frowned and said, "How about we break another walnut?" He felt that these were not enough.
The three of them shook their heads repeatedly and said nothing. The Bowtruckle now probably hated them to death.
After briefly instructing a few people, Mateo left to get some materials and equipment.
Caleb and Yulin were much more relaxed. They only needed to slowly carve the walnut wood into polygons according to the instructions in the book, and then polish them.
Yulin's may be more troublesome. She needs to hollow out the stars on the wand, which will then be filled with crystals. As for the device that monitors the magic power and emits light, it is left to Hope.
Caleb's is much simpler. He only needs to carve out an ordinary wand. As for making the wand hard, Mateo is going to put a layer of hard metal on the outside.
The three of them started working on their own, and Mateo also came back with a suitcase.
This was a box with a traceless expansion spell cast on it. Hope watched curiously as Mateo took out potion refining devices such as crucibles, as well as many bottles and jars of potion materials, but there was nothing on it. Identifies the material name.
Mateo glanced at Hope warily and said, "This is a business secret, no peeking allowed."
The materials for brewing potions are actually not very rare. I have seen several of them in the Forbidden Forest before. Its function is to make the wand more compatible with the magic power. In addition, it can also prevent the wand from rotting over time. Each family of sticks has its own unique recipe.
And Mateo knew that Hope was very good at potions class, and he had the ability to practice potions casually. He had no doubt that Hope could learn it secretly, but it would be okay if he did it secretly. Their family also There are many formulas, but this time he used a relatively simple one. He doesn't know the complicated ones, and this one is only useful for materials like walnut.
Hope curled her lips and said, "Tch, stingy."
It turns out that Mateo's potion configuration is a bit poor, and he failed countless times throughout the afternoon.
The stench from the failed refining of the potion caused everyone to almost make carving mistakes several times.
Hope questioned: "Are you really from a stick-making family?"
Mateo suddenly blushed with shame. He had no choice but to do it. This was also his first time configuring. He usually watched his grandpa.
Finally, in the evening, Mateo made no mistakes again. Looking at the black liquid in the crucible, Mateo breathed a sigh of relief.
"It just needs to be cooked for another seven days."
"Ah? Does it take so long?" Hope said with some surprise.
In the following week, Hope lived a very prosperous life. He drew star charts at night, studied alchemy before going to bed, and occasionally attended the second-grade Transfiguration class. This time, he did not hide anymore but sat in the front row to listen to the class. , happened to be attending the school with the Hufflepuff seniors, during which he met Cedric, who was deceived and thought he had remembered the time wrongly.
Hope looked at Cedric with admiration. He was worthy of being a good Mr. Hufflepuff, a little badger with all the good qualities of Hufflepuff. He was willing to doubt that he had done something wrong rather than doubting others. When he first started school, he was in Hog The Cedric that Watts Express deceived him about must have been impersonated.
Hope's title as Junior Professor of Transfiguration once again became popular after she discovered that Hope's second-year class was also better than most.
Hope spent the rest of the time on wand carving. Fortunately, Mateo's potion configuration did not go wrong and went smoothly. Except for adding some materials every once in a while, he spent the rest of the time helping everyone. Engraved wand.
Fortunately, the location of the abandoned classroom was relatively remote and no one came. To be on the safe side, Hope also cast a blocking spell. Generally, the unlocking spell could not open the classroom door and required a specific password. If someone broke in, he would be reminded.
He saw this curse in the library when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Finally, everyone's wands were carved before the potion was finished. Hope spliced the carved parts together. A brand new white-brown Desert Eagle was put together. It fit tightly and was perfect. The shape of the previous revolver was abandoned. .
Mateo took the wand in Hope's hand and stroked the gun body. The texture was completely incomparable to what Hope had used the transformation spell to create.
After handing it to Hope again, Mateo said: "Okay, no problem, just take it apart."
Hope:?_?"I just put it together!"
Mateo shrugged his shoulders. You have to soak the potion. There are many places where you can’t soak it.
Hope: -_-|||.
After the potion was prepared, Mateo poured the potion into a ceramic box, soaked the prepared wand in it, and then sealed the box.
"Okay, just wait until the wand is soaked for twenty-one days and then put the core in."
Speaking of wand cores, everyone is having trouble again. This thing is very valuable. Just like the tail hair of a unicorn is worth ten galleons, the heart nerve of a dragon's fire dragon is also ten galleons, not to mention the rarer phoenix. There are no more tail feathers, and not even one is enough.
Others, such as Neko's whiskers, are also acceptable, but Mateo doesn't want to use them. He is the heir to the Ollivander family, so how can he use such a material with low magic power?
At first Hope suggested that he could order a batch, but everyone refused. How could Hope be allowed to spend money alone?
