The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 576: Clues in Zangwill's Wand Shop
"here it is?"
Emily woke up from her contemplation, looked at the building in front of her with some doubts and said.
"A wand shop, it's a bit like Ollivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley."
Link rubbed his chin and explained.
But his explanation is essentially far-fetched, because the shop called "The Wand of Zangwill" is not comparable to that of Ollivander's in terms of size and decoration.
The huge solid gold signboard alone, Ollivander, is absolutely impossible to show.
Not to mention that this store was built like a commercial building, with more than a dozen floors.
Emily said with curiosity in her eyes:
"France's wand...is there any difference between it and the country's wand?"
Emily remembered Fleur's wand.
The wand used by the girl from Beauxbatons seems to have Veela hair as its core.
This is simply an unimaginable thing among the wizards of the country.
Hearing that, a smile flashed across Dumbledore's mouth.
None of the people present knew more about the French magic world than him.
Therefore, he is also ready to be questioned by Link and others, and then to answer.
He really enjoyed the pleasure of being a teacher.
It's a pity, but Link just glanced at him with a half-smile, and then said:
"There should be a difference. Since you are so curious, let's go in. I believe the clerk will give us an answer."
As soon as these words came out, Dumbledore almost didn't come back.
But when he came back to his senses, Link and Emily had already walked into the store in front of him accompanied by old Kled, so he had no choice but to follow.
The interior of Zangwill's Wand Shop is bigger than it looks from the outside.
As soon as they entered the hall, what Link and Emily saw were the endless display stands and a large number of people passing through the display stands.
The entire hall on the first floor seemed to be an exhibition hall. It was completely emptied by magic and applied with a traceless stretching spell.
In addition, the entire Zangwill wand shop building should also be treated with constant temperature and humidity.
With the cool-toned lighting in the halls, it gives a rather cool feeling.
Just as Link, Emily and the others were looking at the entire hall, a group of shopping guides who were guarding the door not far away were also looking at them.
People like this kind of people who are active in the front-line shopping guide all the year round have a very good ability to recognize people.
In their eyes, Link and his party were as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky.
No way, the characteristics of Link and others are too obvious.
The young and handsome boy and the elegant and beautiful girl, accompanied by the house-elves and the elderly housekeeper, as well as the exaggerated shapes on Link and Emily, are obviously the high-end hooded cloaks just bought. This is obviously a foreign pair. The gesture of your son traveling with the United States and traveling to France.
It is not difficult to see such people on Lionheart Street.
After all, Lionheart Street is a well-known tourist attraction in the magic world all over the world.
The number of wizards who travel here every year is almost impossible to count.
Otherwise, the statue of the Virgin on the square in the Palace of Fontainebleau wouldn't have been touched like that just with the little traffic of local wizards in France.
And a combination like Link has another label in the eyes of shopping guides.
That is—the fat sheep!
In just an instant, almost all the shopping guides' eyes lit up.
A few people gathered together and chatted and argued in a low voice for a long time, and finally a tall shopping guide walked out of the crowd with great pride.
"Hello, welcome, is there anything I can help you with?"
The shopping guide put on a professional smile and said flatteringly.
When Link and the others heard the words, they all turned their heads.
Immediately afterwards, the corners of their mouths could not help but rise.
The shopping guide who came here is actually a pretty woman.
No matter her figure or appearance, she is the middle-class existence of the opposite **** that Link has ever seen.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a peerless beauty.
What's more, he bowed slightly while speaking, which made everyone's field of vision suddenly widened.
But the only problem is that the uniform she's wearing is really bad.
It's hard not to make people laugh out of that bright red uniform that looks like a yangko team in the Celestial Dynasty.
The ridicule hidden in the smiles of Link and others means that the shopping guide is also clear about it.
However, she was secretly delighted.
Because she was wearing this 'Yangko uniform', which Zangwill's wand shop specially asked for custom-made uniforms according to the latest trends.
In the aesthetic system of French wizards, this is an absolute high-end product.
Those who can laugh out loud are definitely foreigners.
And there is a high probability of being a Chinese!
Only those boring and rigid 'old gentlemen' would despise this kind of clothing so much.
This is definitely a good thing for them.
Because the magic world of this group of nations has declined.
But the big nobles who can come to Lionheart Street are really rich!
With such thoughts in mind, the shopping guide ignored the subconscious ridicule of Link and the others, and continued to wait respectfully.
This actually made Link feel a little embarrassed.
He covered his mouth and coughed twice and said:
"Then tell us about this Zangwill wand. How is it different from Ollivander in Diagon Alley?"
Link's standard foreign guest speech made the shopping guide even more excited.
She suppressed the joy in her heart and lowered her body a little bit and said:
"Okay, guest. Our Zangwill wand shop was established in 1930 AD. Although it has not been in business for a long time, it is the largest chain of wand shops in Europe. We specialize in the sale and purchase of various mass-produced wands. , and also accept high-end wand customization business, guaranteed to meet any of your wand needs!"
"Mass production wand?"
Emily frowned.
This was the first time she came across this term.
Without waiting for the shopping guide to continue to explain, Old Klie pointed to the magic wand in the surrounding display stand and said:
"It's those wands. They are all made of the cheapest wood and magical animal materials through the assembly line. In order to enhance the adaptability, they plan to compress the extraordinary characteristics of these wands to the extreme, which makes these wands increase the wizard's ability to It's a tiny amount, it's just a pile of rubbish!"
Hearing that, Emily nodded, and the curiosity in her eyes gradually dissipated.
This made the shopping guide on the side anxious.
She said eagerly:
"In the eyes of your noble existence, these wands are indeed not very good. But these are only commodities for ordinary wizards. The high adaptability of these wands and the cheap price make these wands very popular among ordinary wizards. love it!
And for your noble existence, we also have high-end customized services! "
Emily looked at old Clay again.
She didn't have any favorable impression of this broad-minded shopping guide, and preferred to hear old Klie's explanation.
And old Clay also continued:
"It's true. Unlike the country, many wizards in foreign countries really like to use this mass-produced wand. There are many such people in our family's hunter group. If you want me to say, their wand usage habits It's broken. The precious wand has become a consumable item in their hands. If it doesn't go well or is tired of it, they can replace it. It's cheap anyway."
"Cheap? How cheap can it be?"
"It's about 10 Galleons each."
"Isn't that similar to what Ollivander's wand shop sells?"
"It's different. Almost every wand Ollivander makes can be described as a work of art, they're all unique. The reason why the sorcerer can buy it at such a cheap price is purely because of the magic of the country. The Ministry has given subsidies in this regard." Link took the conversation and said, "Otherwise, depending on the quality of Ollivander's wand, the cost alone would cost nearly a hundred Galleons. But this kind of subsidy can only be used in a wizard's lifetime. Once. That is, the wizards of the country still retain the habit of one wand per person, and Ollivander generally does not sell a second wand to the same person. This policy is rarely known. If your wand is accidentally damaged, look for it again. Ollivander's words will find that the price of his wand will be ridiculously high this time."
When Emily heard the words, she suddenly realized.
Link, on the other hand, turned to look at the shopping guide next to him and said:
"What about the customized service you're talking about?"
As soon as these words came out, the shopping guide, who had thought that he would probably not be able to open due to such a harassment by Old Kliere, had a happy expression on his face, and said diligently:
"Our customized service is specially provided for high-end customers like you. You also said earlier that Master Ollivander in the country theoretically will not sell your wand unless your original wand is damaged. The same person's second wand.
But unlike our Zangwill wands, we don't have any limit on the number of wands our guests can hold.
And we can also make all kinds of wands according to the needs of customers, from the material of the body, the shape and even the inner core.
The most important thing is that our unique patented technology can make these wands have a unique shape while still being perfectly adapted to the user.
Note that the perfect fit I'm talking about here is not the 'fit' of a mass-produced wand.
But the real, perfect, fit!
That is to say, the customized wand will have characteristics that conform to the customizer's usage habits, hand shape, arm length, body shape, and even magic attributes, and will be truly perfect in all aspects!
This effect is almost indistinguishable from Master Ollivander's work! "
"But it's only almost." Dumbledore shook his head. "Link, you don't have to put too much thought into these things. After all, the custom wands here are not as good as what you did at Ollivander's. Wands obtained. The biggest difference between the two is that the wands here are dead, and Ollivander's wands are alive."
"It's true," the shopping guide continued with a smile, "but Ollivander's wand can't do it like us, can you customize the shape and material at will?"
When Dumbledore said this, Dumbledore was speechless.
Link took out his main ebony wand and his spare larch wand.
Under his gaze, the two wands almost invariably emitted an off-white halo.
This is a manifestation of the wand's perfect surrender to him.
The magic wands made by the Ollivander family, in a certain sense, are indeed living, as they say, are independent individuals who can choose their own users.
They can grow with their owners.
For example, the larch wood can give its users courage, and it can also exert miraculous power after its users have extraordinary courage.
Ebony wands are aggressive and aggressive.
It itself is highly compatible with Link.
And in the long-term relationship with Link, he made changes for Link.
The magical qualities began to get sharper, just like Link's own changes.
These are all things that Zangwill's wand can't do.
Their custom-made wands are as durable as Ollivander's wands and fit the buyer's current characteristics and habits.
But there is no trace of growth.
Slowly putting away his wand, Link looked at the shopping guide and said with a smile:
"I'm very interested in your custom wand service."
The shopping guide was overjoyed when he said this, and Dumbledore shouted again in dissatisfaction:
"Link!"
It's a pity that Link didn't pay any attention to his intentions, and continued:
"But I have to confirm it again, can your Zangwill wand customization service be able to make wands of any shape and material?"
The shopping guide patted his broad mind and said:
"Don't worry about this, even if you want a wand in the shape of a walking stick, we can satisfy it!"
She didn't say this casually.
According to her experience, the most favored wands by noble wizards from the country are the wands in the shape of a cane.
Some wizards who are reluctant to bear their original wand will also customize a wand deformation shell here, so that their wand can be transformed into a wand at any time.
One of the most typical examples, she remembered, seemed to be a great noble surnamed Malfoy.
The other party used a lot of precious materials to set up, and also used mithril alloy to customize a snake-head-shaped handrail on the cane handle.
When she thought about it, Link should also be interested in this type of look.
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong this time.
After getting her affirmative answer, Link just nodded, and then said:
"That means, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Even if I want a gem dagger and wand made of metal and gems, can you satisfy me?"
As soon as Link said this, Dumbledore's eyes that had been lowered slightly because he was dissatisfied with Link's refusal to listen to the persuasion instantly lifted up, and his eyes flashed with unusual brilliance.
He immediately guessed what Link was thinking.
As the only person who has fought the shadow man at close range.
They all knew very well that the magic wand that Sombra used in the battle was a dagger.
Could it be that the dagger and wand were made here?
For a while, Link and Dumbledore's eyes were all on the female shopping guide.
Both Link and Dumbledore were big men who had been in high positions for a long time.
The momentum that was usually accumulated was suddenly released at this moment, which instantly put enormous pressure on the shopping guide.
She only felt that her throat was dry, which was extremely rare for her. After all, as one of the best shopping guides in Zangwill's Wand Shop, the people she received on weekdays were either rich or expensive.
The shopping guide took several deep breaths in a row, and then stammered:
"Yes... yes, if you want, we can also... make a dagger wand for you."
