Chapter 397 Doppelganger
"I have been holding these two wands in my hand for nearly twenty years. When I first got the first one, I knew what it was. But when I saw the second one, I was not sure again." Ollivand said: "After that, I spent more than ten years secretly investigating and began to determine their identities again: these two wands are old wands, the strongest wands in the wizarding world."
At this time, several people had already sat down at Ollivander's workshop, and the front door of the wand store had a "rest" sign hanging. Since generations of the Ollivander family opened in this place, it has closed early for the first time in history, except for war, injuries and weddings and funerals.
Seeing Ollivand appear tired because he was too excited before, Feiqi poured him a drink with the Harvest Horn to help restore his strength. "I noticed that you just described them as the strongest wands, and they were one of them, but they were two."
"This starts with the origin. The legend is that the old wand is made of elderwood by the god of death, and the wizards who use it will be invincible in magical battles." Ollivand drank some drinks, his spirits quickly improved, and then continued: "However, another legend about the old wand mentioned that this wand will always obey more powerful people. If someone defeats its current master, he will immediately become its next master. This kind of victory method includes the victory beyond magical battles. Legends include assassination, robbery, stealing, etc. So, it is an unknown wand."
Feiqi looked at the wand in his hand and shook his head: "The two wands do exist, but I can't see anything unknown. If it is the strongest combat wand, it will indeed cause robbery, but this is still a problem for the user. After all, only those who want to be invincible will pursue this wand - in fact, such a person, no matter what wand he holds, death and disaster will always follow him."
"Yes, the wand is followed by the user, and the old wand is just to execute the master's orders." Olivand nodded and agreed. At this time, Shani took out the food packaged from the corner hotel from the space bag, found out what she could directly grab and eat with her hands, and set a table for two people talking about the wand. After some trouble, Olivand was indeed hungry. After the food entrance, he finally met someone who had the ability to make a wand and was not in the wizarding world, and his words became endless.
"Most of the strong men in history have pursued this wand. As far as I know, since a hundred years ago, several powerful mages have used this wand, including good people and bad people, and several competitions have been intertwined, and all the major wars and conflicts in the wizarding world within a hundred years. The most recent time was about twenty years ago, when the Dark King was rampant, he used this wand. This is not a legend. I secretly asked those who followed him at that time, and the wand they described was this."
The Dark King, a very powerful wizard, has some chapters in the introduction to the wizarding world of the World Window. Feiqi knew the ending of his killing, and said, "Since the old wand is invincible, then when the Dark King is defeated, the master of the old wand should be the one who defeated him. But... didn't he get this wand?"
"I didn't see the situation at that time with my own eyes, but he should have given up the old wand on his own initiative." Ollivand said: "Yes, I'm talking about the old wand, not the 'this' wand, because I don't know which one is his. This intact wand found in the cemetery may have been put in by him, but the broken one may have been done by him. The possibility of the two situations is similar."
After Olivand's explanation, Feiqi quickly understood what happened in the last "Dark King War" (Olivand version). Simply put, the respected white wizard held the old wand, and the black wizard killed the white wizard and possessed the wand. The white wizard's student, the "Lightning Brave" defeated and killed the black wizard again.
The intact old magic wand was found in the White Wizard's cemetery. The Lightning Brave is likely to use this method to "return things to the original owner" to express his grief and memorial. The discovery place where the wand was broken is not far from the place where the Black Demon King died. In the black lake where various rivers gathered around it, the Lightning Brave is likely to break the wand and discard it at will. Then it was washed by rain and brought into the river, and finally hidden in the lake.
Olivande said: "According to legend, I guess he gave up the old wand because he wanted to die naturally, so that the old wand could no longer choose a new master, thus completely losing his magic power and not causing conflicts again."
"Ha, it's really a child's idea." Feiqi shook his head: "When doing things, I thought the best result could be waited slowly. How could this be possible? I really want the old wand to have no master, it is best to commit suicide with the old wand and ensure that the soul is completely wiped out. Therefore, it is better to break it than to put it back into the cemetery. Unfortunately, after breaking it, he thought his work was completed and did not conduct a review. He may not have been on the real battlefield. After the battle, even if he wins, he will have to finish the knife on the battlefield. This is a necessary inspection."
"It's good to win, I can't be perfect." Ollivand defended himself a little embarrassedly.
"I can now become a deep demon king who is even darker than the Dark King. When I start a bloody storm, will he be responsible for his carelessness?" Feiqi shook his head and said to Ollivander: "Don't be nervous, I'll just say that. The wand is just a tool for casting spells and will not make people turn into a devil. But you haven't explained why there are two."
"It's like that. In the Dark King War, many people's wands were damaged and asked me to repair them, but one person's wand did not come to me and it recovered itself." Ollivand said: "No spell can repair the damage of the wand, but I think that the old wand can repair the damage of other wands, as long as it does not completely cut off life. This broken old wand wants to repair itself, and its powerful magical ability creates another old wand..."
"Maybe it was summoned..." Feiqi thought of one of the ability of the Hell Devil, which was to pay a certain price to summon his own kind to help. The intermediate devil can attract low-level thugs, or beg for help from the higher-level devil. The broken old wand will bring the same kind...
"No, there are traces of space movement on the broken wand. It does not summon rescue, but arrives at the rescue site. Hiss... Are there multiple wizard worlds? This broken wand comes from another wizard world?"
"I thought so too, but how did it happen?" Ollivander shook his head, his gray and sparse hair swayed slightly, showing a feeling of aging and powerlessness. Every once in a while he looked at the old wand in Fitch's hand and finally said, "I also thought that if the old wand had a new master, this master had enough ability, perhaps he could find out the spell recorded by the old wand again."
"Hmm? Can the wand also record spells?"
Olivand nodded. "Yes, the wand will continue to record the spells that have been released, and the old wand should be no exception. Generally, the casting records can be viewed through the flashback spell, but the old wand is more powerful, so no wand can generate a more powerful flashback spell to read the records of the old wand. There are too many knowledge and secrets in this old wand, but I can't use it."
"Continue to hold on, this unattainable feeling will make you feel more and more uncomfortable until you force you to take risks. Especially when death is approaching, you may try to kill the current master of the wand and become its new master. You will think like this: I am about to die, I just want to know the secrets inside, and then I can take these secrets and the magic of the old wand with my own death to take it out of hell and break the cycle of the old wand. It is better to break early than to break late, this is a small sacrifice for greater goodness."
Olivande opened his mouth slightly, and a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead. He lowered his head in shame and then pointed. "This idea did appear in my mind. I even imagined that he would come over in the name of checking and maintaining the wand. He would not guard against it and hand it over to me. Then..."
A seemingly feasible plan, a seemingly lofty goal, and a seemingly safe retreat. These three can create irresistible temptations in teaming up with "huge interests". And when they go together, the angels may become devils. Fitch comforts Ollivand and says, "Don't blame yourself, it's normal for you to have such an idea. Because the old wand is not made by death, but a creature with the ability to contract, which is likely to be a devil. The contract hidden in the wand constantly exudes power. Those who have touched the wand are part of the contract to a certain extent, and this contract will tempt you to make mistakes."
"Not death? Are you sure?"
"It is certainly not a god. What created by divine power is characterized and I can recognize it." Feiqi said to look at the wand, "But the only way to confirm is to be its master."
"Please don't kill people, okay? Without the old wand, your mana is already strong enough. The cycle brought by the old wand is always accompanied by war, it..."
"Stop, I didn't say I'm going to kill someone." Feiqi said: "You use various legends to introduce the old wand, but some of the exaggerated and inaccurate parts are regarded as history by you. Think about it, if the old wand can only be changed to defeat the former master, why would it respond to me? Think about it again, even if it will change the master according to the change of victory or defeat, then did the first master defeat the god of death? He was designated to be the first master, then there must be a way to designate the master. According to my understanding of the contract, the old wand is very strong, which is the basis, and then it is designated to transform the master with the contract. Everyone abides by the contract, and there will always be powerful wizards who will serve the wand, just like a fruit tree that can be harvested continuously."
"I was shuddered by this statement. Only the devil can do such a thing!" said Ollivand.
"Yes, the devil..." Feiqi re-examined the wand, thought for a moment, and then made a decision. He placed both wands on Ollivand's workbench, then attached the hellish favor in the wand in the evil spirit, and used the power of the contract demon to modify the contract in the old wand.
"Listen," Feiqi talked to the old wand on the radio channel of the Contracted Demon, saying, "Only one of you wands can become my wand, and my choice is the one that breaks. It has the experience of traveling through the world, which is another one that does not have. But it breaks and needs to be repaired to use."
"Now I ask for a complete wand to repair the broken wand, and at the same time, the contracts for the broken wand are all cancelled, and I become its only suitable master. If I don't do as I ask, I will cover the contract of the old wand with the hell contract and then completely destroy you."
Both old wands expressed great resistance, and they shouted, "We will never surrender, magic is worthless, contract is the essence!"
Feiqi snorted and replied, "This is the sound of the contract, not the wand, I have heard it. Don't you just want to keep the contract? I can combine the two contracts into one and strengthen them, and use the latest devil's way to obtain more souls. Whether the wizard's cycle of fighting for the old wand can be broken has nothing to do with me, and I am not interested in participating. I want the wand and the spells recorded in it, or I do something good for the wizarding world in exchange for other benefits. For you, either compromise or end!"
The contract was created for profit, and it would never have lofty ideals and firm integrity, so the old wand agreed. After that, Feiqi picked up the intact one and aimed it at the broken one. A dazzling light shot out, and the broken wand returned to its original state. It was not exactly the same. The contract inside had been transferred. It was now just a magic wand, a "new" wand with powerful power.
Feiqi put the wand in his hand on his forehead and fused the two contracts in the knowledge of the contract demon, making it more hidden, more powerful and more tempting. When he finished all this, the old wand in his hand became cold and bone-black, making him feel repulsive from his skin to his soul. So he threw down the wand in his hand and picked up the "new wand" on the table. It was warm and comfortable, but at the same time it didn't feel very good, just like the relationship between the palm and the fingers.
"I chose this." Feiqi checked the wand in his hand in the form of a soul contract. After confirming that there were no residues from the old era, he put it in his soul, the same way he stored the contract. Since the wand can be connected to the soul of a wizard, it is a special soul contract. Feiqi can summon the wand with a swing of his wrist and borrow it to enhance the power of his spells.
"That one is the old wand of this world." Feige said to Ollivand, "I will not move the old wand of this world. I suggest you put it back. This one in my hand is enough to answer your doubts - unless I can't find the answer. It has never been the power of the wand that causes the wizard to fall, but the greed that pursues power."
Ollivand nodded slowly. He must have understood, but a complete transformation still takes a process. Feiqi hopes that he can put the old wand back, otherwise the accumulated temptation will further affect him.
"The old wand was made by Antioch Peverier, who was also the first owner of the old wand. During the manufacturing process, he received help from a powerful creature, and a contract began to take effect in the old wand. To ensure that the contract took effect as soon as possible, the powerful creature lured Antioch to show off everywhere and killed him." Feich said to Olivande: "I don't know the name of that powerful creature, and the wand is not recorded."
"Then why are there two?"
