Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Elder Wand, Cheap or Not!
"I don't have an Elder Wand,
It's true!
No!! ”
Sitting in a crunchy old chair, Grigovich gave himself a trifecta of denial.
He wiped away his tears again and said bitterly:
"In my life, the Elder Wand may have been obtained, but like quicksand in the palm of my hand, it is finally gone......"
As soon as Grigovich opened his mouth, he was Lao Yongzheng, as if the old wand was his Huanhuan, with a thick grievance in his tone.
Grigovich collapsed, but judging by his words, the message can still be unmistakable:
He used to have an Elder Wand, only to gain and lose.
"Where did you get that wand?"
William conjured two little marzas, one with Hermione, and sat down in the shade.
Grigovich pulled his hair, sighed, and said honestly:
"The Elder Wand has traces of history.
There may be an interruption in between, and it will disappear from the wizard's view, but it will always reappear. ”
"How do you know it's the Elder Wand?" Hermione asked.
"The Elder Wand has certain recognizable features that anyone who has studied the wand will recognize it."
Wandology is the study of the history of wands and their magical properties.
It's complex and mysterious, and it's not taught in schools.
It's like a lot of old memories, or through family lineage, or apprenticeship...... Inheritance of master and apprentice.
Cedric was Ollivander's apprentice.
"There are some written records, some of which are very obscure, and some of which are only clues."
When it comes to expertise, Grigovich speaks much faster.
"And I've done a lot of research and determined the owners of the Elder Wand."
William and Hermione both pricked up their ears and listened intently.
The history of the Elder Wand is unknown to ordinary wizards
William's entire knowledge also comes from the story of the three brothers.
As for where the Boss lost the Elder Wand, it is not very clear.
The Grigovich took a wand, put it on his knees, and was silent for a while, as if in deep thought.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"The history of the Elder Wand is bloody, and it is a coveted treasure that arouses intense lust among wizards.
For the first time since the three brothers, there was a written record of a particularly powerful and dangerous elderberry wand, whose owner was called Merrick, known as the 'villain'.
He is a wizard with a strong attacking power. In the early Middle Ages, a reign of terror was imposed in the south of England. ”
But he was killed in a duel with a wizard named Egbert.
Egbert gets the Elder Wand, which is quickly killed in another duel, and the Elder Wand briefly disappears. ”
Hermione said skeptically, "If the Elder Wand is invincible, why would the master be defeated?" ”
Grigovich shook his head and said, "Kid, wands are invincible, but wizards are not!"
Don't confuse this, after all, wizards and wizards are not the same strength.
The Elder Wand does strengthen its master, but there is a limit. ”
Grigovich fasttracked:
"It was a century before the Elder Wand reappeared, this time by the name of Godlot."
William frowned, "Godlot......"
"Have you heard of him?" Grigovich looked at William.
"Yes, the most poisonous magic he wrote, right in the Hogwarts library." William said.
In the past, in order to check the Horcruxes, he went out of his way to check the information.
Horcruxes are mentioned in "Poison Magic", but there is only one sentence:
The Horcrux, the most evil of magical inventions, is not discussed or instructed here.
William also complained about Godlot at the time, scolding him for being wise, why don't you mention it?
Unexpectedly, this person [3Q Chinese] actually had an old wand?
"That's right, "The Poison of Magic" is indeed written by Godlot, a book dedicated to dark arts, and ......"
Grigovich's eyes were deep.
"It was written with the help of the Elder Wand!"
"What, with the help of the Elder Wand?" Hermione was shocked.
She now feels that the old man's longevity may mean that the old sanity is no longer there.
"I'm sorry, sir. You mean, the Elder Wand told Godlot a lot of unknown black magic? ”
"That's right, kid!"
At the mention of the magic of the Elder Wand, Grigovich's eyes flashed with frenzy.
"I see suspicion in your eyes, it's normal, you don't know much about wands!"
The old man's temper came up, and it seemed that it was not him who was crying just now, but his eyes widened.
He said loudly:
"Ollivander used to say: A wand chooses its master.
This statement is not nonsense.
The wand, as our friend, also has its own consciousness. ”
Grigovich stood up and said in a high voice:
"Don't believe me?
A wand made of the tail feathers of the Thunderbird, which can sense danger and issue spells in advance;
Twin wands with the same wick will force each other to use a flashback spell when fighting each other!
I could give a whole bunch of examples of wands being conscious, how do you explain that? ”
William and Hermione were speechless.
Grigovich said in an admiring tone:
"The wand also has the ability to learn.
Those familiar with wand science know that wands do absorb the user's technique.
Most wizards prefer to use a 'select' wand for them rather than any second-hand wand.
Because of the second-hand wand, it is likely that some habits have been learned from the previous owner, and it does not match the magic style of the new owner. ”
Grigovich's eyes flashed: "And the Elder Wand, it has been with powerful dark wizards in history, and knows a lot in the field of black magic.
As such, when it encounters Godlot, an evil wizard, it will give them some help. ”
"And then?"
"Later......" Grigovich returned to his chair, and he shook it:
"Godlot's mad son, Heriot Ward, locked his father in a magical cellar and took the Elder Wand.
In the eighteenth century, the Elder Wand reappeared, and its owner was Barnabas Devril.
He killed many wizards and earned himself a reputation as a 'terrible wizard'. ”
Grigovich whispered:
Later, the infamous Lohias took away his wand and put an end to Barnabas's reign of terror.
After that, Lohias also died. But many have claimed to have taken his life, including his biological mother. ”
"But actually, the wand fell into Arcus's hands."
Grigovich's eyes suddenly winced.
"I found Arcus, who was dying of old age.
He thought about ending the fate of the old wand and took it to the tomb.
He begged me not to take ...... But I snatched it anyway!
You don't know what the Elder Wand means to a wandmaster!
If I could replicate that power, in other wands......
My baby! ”
Grigovich's eyes were red.
Hermione was puzzled, "At that time, no one knew where the Elder Wand was, so why did you leak it out when you got it?" ”
Grigovich's eyes widened and he said:
"I studied for many years and discovered some of the properties of the Elder Wand. The wands that I was able to make were more powerful than other people's wands.
Then, I don't know what's wrong, like crazy.
I always had a voice in my head:
If I don't say it, how will others know that I can copy the nature of the Elder Wand!
How do wizards know that the wands I make are so much better than those of other wand dealers!
At that time, Ollivanders was much more famous than me! ”
Advertising that you can replicate the nature of the Elder Wand will indeed make business a lot better.
Even, let Grigovich become one of the three major wand dealers in Europe.
When Ollivanders sells wands, he always likes to be surprised, all in order to sell wands.
It's hard to make money.
But where can you keep the Elder Wand if you leak out?
If the Elder Wand is really conscious, then it is obviously tired of being with Grigovich, which is why it will bewitch this master.
Sure enough, the old wand is also a two-and-five.
Nie Feng, who feels a little bit, has the title of "the first beauty in martial arts", and whoever is powerful will follow whomever he wants.
Elder Wand,
Cheap or not!
