Chapter 290: Wand Shop (Part 1)

At this time, the shopkeeper with sharp eyes found that there was a wand behind them.
"That doesn't seem to be a customer, so, how about coming in?" the man said enthusiastically.
This is a humble and cluttered shop. Unlike the simplicity of its appearance, there are a variety of wands inside. A variety of wand boxes almost fill the entire house, making it impossible for people to get down.
"Although the wands in my shop are not very popular, but I can say that I am the store that collects the most wands in France," said the man proudly.
"Compensation psychology?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
"It seems to be an insider." The man laughed again, and did not shy away from this.
"What compensation?" Furong asked in a low voice, but he was still heard by the man. He smiled and explained:
"My poor grandfather used to be obsessed with silver linden wood, thinking it was the best wand material. Without learning, he was deceived by a businessman and was ruined." The man shrugged and said with a smile. "Today, the wood has not been used up."
"Of course, now we all know that there is no best wand material, only the wand that is most suitable for the wizard itself." The shopkeeper said slowly.
"So I tried to avoid his old path as much as possible, um... my father showed me many books on wand science. I studied the nature of wand wood quite deeply out of compensatory psychology."
"You certainly don't think that apple trees can be used as wands?" The man said proudly, and then pulled a delicate box from the cabinet at hand, opened it, and took out the wand.
"Well, fourteen inches, apple wood." The man raised his wand and looked carefully. "Suitable for wizards with strong power and lofty pursuits." He nodded and seemed to appreciate his work.
"There were many failed works before this." The man pouted, seemingly distressed by the materials of those wands.
"Dragon's nerves, monster beards, these sticks that act as apple wood are not too good."
"The former is very suitable for black magic and has great power, but it is completely incompatible with apple wood. As for the giant beard, it is too bulky and not light enough." He muttered to himself.
"Phoenix tail feathers are very good. I bought a phoenix feather from the black market for a large price and added it. It looks good. They are easier to identify with a justice wizard."
Malfoy and Furong listened to the man's explanation politely and patiently. His narration was not boring, and even interesting, even Furong heard it with great interest.
"Sorry, I was so fascinated for a while." The man said with a smile, before he recovered.
"Your wand needs to be replaced? Or does it need maintenance and repair?" he asked at this time.
"I need a wand of the same material as this wand." Malfoy suddenly pulled out a wand from some place and handed it over.
"It's a strange request." The man said in surprise, then took the wand, looked it up carefully, and waved it by the way.
"The whirlwind sweeps!"
A moderate wind blew up from the shop, making a whizzing noise, and then swept through the shop, sweeping all the dust outside the door.
"Elderberry? Dragon's nerves?" The man exclaimed after just casting a spell. The magic was stronger than he thought.
"I think I know who brought you here? Is he sure to take this wand back?" The man touched his short stubble, the thought in the chestnut pupil.
He went on to say, "This wand is older than me, and according to my father, he was entrusted to him by a prestigious wizard."
"Yes, sir." Malfoy nodded.
"Okay, wait for me to find it. It should be placed at the bottom of the floor. I thought no one would ever take it." The owner murmured, put down the apple wood wand in his hand, and turned to the end of the store Go.
"Does this wand make any sense?" Furong asked in a low voice, looking at the wand made of elderberry on the glass cabinet.
"Crude little things, just a token, and maybe a person's feelings of missing someone." Malfoy shrugged and explained to the girl.
"Oh, I found it, don't look at me. Although it is a little messy, I still know where to put things." Soon, the man lifted a long and narrow box and walked in front of them all the way. Put it on the glass cabinet.
A black wand with a wand-like body covered in marvelous lines is lying quietly in a humble box. Unlike other wands, it does not pursue beauty, and the shape is not symmetrical, even at the nodes. There are short sticks that stick out and bulge slightly. It may be inferred from this that the owner of the magic wand is uncontrolled.
It's just that now the wand is covered with dust and it looks like it hasn't been used in a long time.
Few people will know that he once belonged to Gellert Grindelwald, the dark wizard after Voldemort.
"It's the same elderberry..." Malfoy thought, whispering to himself.
Obviously, this is not a coincidence.
Grindelwald's first magic wand was a rare elderberry.
Elderberry's own cherishment is one reason, and another reason is the superstition from wizards. Most of them believe that people with such wands will cause great misfortune.
The ancient superstition said "Elderberry wand will never prosper", which is out of the superstition fear of this kind of wand. Similarly, this kind of wand has very high requirements for wizards.
As a result, wand makers are less likely to favor such high-cost wands that cannot be sold.
The magic wand can reflect the personality of a wizard and even future encounters. For example, the fir-tree magic wand is called the survivor's wand. Because of his tough and special system, it can often turn the wand holder into a danger. Beech and knowledgeable, thinking out of the human nature Even better, this kind of wand is used by many Ravenclaw students, and ash is more suitable for those who are good at duels. It is more obvious that ~EbookFREE.me~ is the heart of struggle.
Grindelwald, in pursuit of strength, in his career as a wizard, he may be interested in the most famous of the elder wands, and then led him from the then old wand holder-Grigovich The old wand was stolen there.
At that time, Dumbledore's sister Arianna had already died in a melee fight between the three, and the two had turned their faces (hands) completely and parted ways.
This dangerous black wizard after Voldemort started to form his own army, creating chaos, and sacrificed many innocent people for the so-called "revolution".
Finally, at the time, the world's most powerful white wizard and black wizard held a duel, symbolizing the side of justice, Dumbledore won, and the loser was imprisoned in his own prison-Newmongard.
His old wand and the first wand he took were naturally captured by Dumbledore in the battle of the century.
"What was the material of Dumbledore's first wand?" Malfoy's thoughts fell into the sea level of thought, which was of some interest.
