Chapter 25: It's the Wand That Chooses the Wizard
What is a creature that is more difficult to deal with than naughty kids? This is an ultimate problem that is difficult for many people to answer.
But if you want to throw this question to Geralt, he will definitely tell you the answer: It is more difficult to deal with than naughty kids, of course, a bunch of naughty kids are gathered together!
This witch hunter who is not usually alone and is used to being pure, now has to endure the chattering and playing of the little wizards around him. Geralt was really smiling on his face and in his heart.
"Fred, do you know how to make the wand explode?"
"I don't know, George. But I think pretending to blow up someone's wand is a good idea to tease people, right?"
"Wuhu! We are such a prank genius!"
Talk about new prank tricks, George Weasley and Fred Weasley, brothers known as "Weasley Gemini", were very excited.
Looking at the uneasy brothers, Arthur Weasley, as his father, shook his head helplessly.
Maeve had a good hearing even heard Arthur quietly lower his head and whisper to his little daughter, Ginny Weasley, in order to warn her little daughter not to play pranks everywhere like her two brothers.
After being suddenly cared for by his father, the shy little Ginny blushed with her little face, and she had to nod her head repeatedly and said, with a shy little girl's sanity.
As for Gu Xiaoheng who was walking in front, he started chatting with the enthusiastic Hogwarts hunting ground guard and key administrator Hagrid. He wanted to take this opportunity to ask about Hagwarts' current situation.
"Hagge, is there anything strange about Hogwarts recently?" Gu Xiaoheng continued to explain with a curiosity: "I mean, maybe your information can provide some help to Hogwarts' demon hunting commission."
After Gu Xiaoheng asked this, Haige grabbed his chaotic and thick beard in entanglement, and then seemed to realize something, pulled Gu Xiaoheng's shoulder and lowered his voice to him and told him his exclusive information.
"Eternal, I will only tell you this information. I promise me that I cannot let others know about this."
"Of course there's no problem, Hagrid. I'm a tight-lipped person!"
"Well, because I have vowed to keep everything happening in Hogwarts secret, I can't reveal too much to you. But there is only one thing, I think you and Geralt need to pay attention to when performing a demon hunting mission-"
Gu Xiaoheng clearly heard the loud noise of Hagrid's big nose taking a deep breath, and then he continued to describe his strange experiences in Hogwarts Castle:
"You need to pay attention to the spiders in the castle! I have an old friend in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts. He has been in a panic all day since the legend of the secret room was circulated in Hogwarts again, but he refused to say who was the secret room monster.
The only advice he gave me was to see spiders crawling in the castle, don’t hesitate to close your eyes and run away. Although I don’t know what this advice points to, I still want to provide him to you. Maybe you can use it?"
After nodding solemnly, Gu Xiaoheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I just talked about this, I can't say that I have gained a lot, but I can also be called returning empty-handed...
Because he not only knew the information that Hager said in advance, but he even knew the truth of the advice even more clearly than Hager himself.
Alas! As for the top plot mission that "Hogwarts' Secret Room" before rebirth, which attracted many wizards and mages and other magic professions to explore the secrets before being released on the player forum, Gu Xiaoheng, who knew most of the truth and content, was still a little confused now.
After all, the powerful opponent is placed there, and the challenge and difficulty of completing tasks will not be reduced for you just because you know part of the truth.
Not to mention, the Hogwarts Secret Room mission will involve the game between several northern NPC forces. Including the intervention and interference of legendary NPCs from all sides, the difficulty of completing this mission is far from "finding the Secret Room - killing monsters - sprinkling flowers perfectly".
The reactions of major NPCs, the subsequent impact, and even when the location of the secret room will be announced without leaving any trace to start hunting monsters in the secret room, these are all difficulties that Gu Xiaoheng needs to consider.
......
Walking on the streets of Diagon Alley, Gu Xiaoheng, who was only lying down and pondering, suddenly heard a galloping sound of horse hooves trampling on the earth at a rapid speed in his ears.
"Shi... The Stark family's Ice Field Running Wolf Flag!"
Just now, I was surprised at what kind of identity the horse rider was. Hagrid, who dared to ride horses and gallop on a street full of wizards in Diagon Alley, was so surprised that she couldn't stop after seeing the flag of the Stark family, the ruler of the North, the "Guardian of the North".
Looking in the direction everyone's eyes, Gu Xiaoheng, who saw the rider's clothing accessories, also showed a surprised expression.
On the gorgeous saddle, a male rider with reddish-brown hair was well-dressed and majestic chain leather armor, and was wearing a pitch-black black bear cloak.
As he galloped, a few silver glow could faintly flash on the cloak buckles carved with the Direwolf’s family emblem.
There is no doubt that he is a Stark from the North Guardian Family.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, with such gorgeous clothes and reddish-brown hair, and the Stark family's ice field running wolf flag and family emblem, this made some wizards on the street who were famous for their knowledge and knowledge, exclaiming the identity of the visitor:
"That's Robb Stark, the young wolf lord!"
When he heard the news of the arrival of the young wolf lord, a commotion occurred in the crowd.
Even many wizards who are known for their coldness can't help but secretly guess the purpose of the young wolf lord's arrival with the crowd.
The little wizards around Gu Xiaoheng were not immune to the vulgarity. At this moment, they were chattering about the various deeds of the Young Wolf Lord.
"That's the young wolf master who tamed a giant wolf alone at the age of fifteen!" Ron's words were full of envy.
"I remember the classics in the Hogwarts Library say that descendants of the Stark family have the chance to inherit the talent of the wolf spirit." The learned Hermione added some of her understanding.
"Well, I have a question." Maeve leaned over and asked weakly: "What are you talking about as a young wolf master? "Just when you asked a question, Geralt's smart mare, Radish, suddenly appeared in Maeve's mind.
"It's not a carrot. It's called Robb, Robb Stark!" Hermione made a mistake seriously for Mave.
"What Robb? Robb shit big?! What is this strange name?"
Maeve was chanting loudly inexplicably as if she was in her ears, and her funny slip of the tongue also made the young wizards laugh.
Seeing that Robb's original in the distance was about to notice this, Gu Xiaoheng quickly stretched out his big hand and covered Mave's little mouth, so that she could no longer continue to yell at the hatred that attracted other young wolf lord worshipers.
Unpredictable, Gu Xiaoheng covered his mouth, and a trace of red flashed across Mae's pretty face as white as jade.
"Wuwuwu (Sir, why are you doing tampering me!)"
Maeve, who didn't know what was going on, blinked cutely, and was shy and thought Gu Xiaoheng was joking with her.
After turning his eyes sly, Maeve had an idea and came up with a plan.
The next second, Gu Xiaoheng felt a warm feeling coming from the palm of his hand, and a soft touch with moisture.
After a moment of stunnedness, Gu Xiaoheng, who thought about what it was, immediately glared at Mave with a look of anger.
Hey hey! Maeve, just covering your mouth, it would be too much for you to stick out your tongue and lick my fingers!
Gu Xiaoheng, who was afraid that Maeve would use the same trick again, almost shuddered and took back his hand covering his mouth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it back, he saw Maeve sticking out his tongue at him with unfulfilled feelings.
"Sir, why are your hands sweet?"
Mom, there is pervert here!
Before Gu Xiaoheng's attack was done, Maife, who saw that his prank had worked, recoiled and begged for mercy: "It's just a joke, sir!"
After a fight, Robb, the young wolf owner who had caused the commotion of the crowd everywhere wherever he had been to the past, had already left Diagon Alley, leaving only a chic back for people.
....
"We're here."
Under the guidance of Hagrid's familiarity, everyone soon saw a small and broken shop.
The golden sign on the shop door has peeled off, with only a few large words saying Ollivander: Well-made wands have been made since 382 BC.
In the dusty window, a magic wand was scattered alone on the faded purple cushion.
When they entered the store, the little wizards seemed to have accumulated their excitement to the peak.
Just listening to the heavy breathing sounds that sounded around him, Gu Xiaoheng felt his blood pressure rise.
These atmosphere groups are so dedicated!
"Mr. Eternal, our wand was bought here. Mr. Ollivander's skill in making wands is this even if he looks at the entire northern border-"
Ron, holding his red little nose, then reached out and gave Gu Xiaoheng a big thumbs up to show his status as the Ollivander's wand shop.
"Oh, thank you Ron."
After entering the store, there were jingling rings coming from the back of the store, which made the little wizard look curiously.
Under the supervision of Hager and Arthur Weasley, the little wizard quickly sat on the bench and waited, leaving only Maeve and Geralt to stand at the counter and choose a magic wand together.
Pick-Pick-Pick-
Gu Xiaoheng had already heard footsteps from behind the counter.
As his eyes passed through nearly thousands of narrow wand boxes and rows of closely arranged wand cabinets, an old man with silver eyes immediately came into his eyes.
There is no doubt that Mr. Ollivand, the owner of the Wand Store, had finally come out of his back hall.
"Oh? Mr. Porter, Hagrid, and Mr. Weasley?...I'm so happy to see you again! What can I do to serve you?"
In the slightly dim shop, Mr. Ollivander's pair of silver eyes, which were light in color, were bright.
"Hello, Mr. Ollivander." He pointed to Gu Xiaoheng standing in front of the counter, and Haeger said bluntly: "We are with Mr. Yongheng to come and buy his wand!"
"Oh, Mr. Eternal--" Mr. Ollivander focused his eyes on Gu Xiaoheng, but finally stopped at the Wolf School of Witch Hunter badge on his neck.
"As you can see, Mr. Ollivander, I am a witch hunter. But for some reason, I need to release magic from my wand."
Hearing Gu Xiaoheng's explanation, Ollivander's eyes were filled with surprise.
A witch hunter desperately needed a magic wand to release magic. Doesn’t this mean that Gu Xiaoheng in front of him has magical talent?
Over the years, the witch hunter has visited the door to buy a magic wand - this is the first time such a magical thing has happened to him!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mr. Ollivander glanced at Harry sitting on the bench and looked up at him.
The next second, Gu Xiaoheng saw that he seemed to have made up some determination and said resolutely:
"No problem, I'll help you choose a good wand for casting. Of course, before starting all the steps, I think you need to understand one thing Mr. Witch Hunter. It's never a wizard who chooses a wand, but a widow that chooses it."
Gu Xiaoheng nodded, and then saw Mr. Ollivander's shop owner quickly commanding the magic tape measure to run in front of him to measure the size.
The shoulders are wide... arms are long... waist... even the head is circumference. The strict old shop owner did not fall down at all.
"Wonderful data, I think these wands may be more suitable for you..."
Mr. Ollivander shuttled between the shelves, and at a speed that was beyond his old appearance, he selected several wand boxes to move downwards.
"This, this...and...oh, this!!" The old shop owner muttered to himself and walked to a cabinet locked with magic in the store, with a rather surprised expression on his face.
It seems that the situation is rare now. After hesitating for a moment, the old shop owner waved his magic wand to unseal the cabinet in front of him that was locked by magic.
Squeak-
Before he could untie the unlocked cabinet door trembled, and then the closed cabinet door automatically opened. A box with black and red magic patterns engraved all over the body flew out and finally landed steadily in Gu Xiaoheng's hand.
What is this? How could it be so magical!
Seeing such a magical scene, Gu Xiaoheng heard the little wizards behind him whispering in surprise.
"So it's this magic wand!" Looking at the black box in Gu Xiaoheng's hand, Mr. Ollivander fell into some memory as if he had been triggered by the memory switch.
It took a moment to hear his explanation.
"This wand is a special work I made fifty years ago. At that time, I was studying the applicability of the phoenix tail feather as the core of the wand. I was still young at that time and accidentally caused a fire to burn the wand works, and in the end only one of the wands survived. But it was the fire that made me discover the magic of this wand-"
He touched the appearance of the black box with magic patterns with his fingers. Clusters of red fire burned through the entire box out of thin air like a roaring fire dragon. Such an amazing scene made Gu Xiaoheng loosen the box with a trembling hand.
Then, a magical scene happened.
When the black box engraved with magic patterns burned out, a red magic wand slowly emerged from the fire suspended in the air.
Under the dim light, the burning wand emits a magic glow throughout, making people instinctively generate a terrifying power to worship its flames.
"This wand seems to have a terrible talent like the phoenix, the source owner of its wand core.
Seeing this, a terrible guess appeared in Gu Xiaoheng's mind, which made him shout out this idea with surprise.
Chapter completed!
