Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 77: Hit Me Until You Are Willing to Teach Me
"Sure enough, it was robbed!"

Pushing the door and walking into the potion shop, George couldn't help but twitching his lips when he saw the messy scene inside.

The potion shop was in a mess at this time, as if it had been robbed. Apparently, a dark wizard had come in and robbed it during the six months that he had been studying at Hogwarts.

Fortunately, he had already sold all the valuables, so the other party probably returned empty-handed.

"Restored to the original condition!"

Waving his wand and casting a repair spell, the messy potion shop quickly returned to the state it was in before he left.

The main reason is that he has not learned the protective spell yet, otherwise he could cast some anti-unlocking spells and protective spells before leaving, so that ordinary dark wizards cannot get in.

This kind of petty-theft dark wizard cannot be very strong. A truly powerful dark wizard would not do such a shameful thing.

"Cleaned up."

After cleaning and packing his luggage, George began to read by lamplight again.

The magic book he was reading now was called "An Introduction to Wand Learning", a magic book that specifically explained wand knowledge, and the publisher was none other than the wand-making master Ollivander.

It explains a lot of knowledge about magic wands.

Of course, it only popularized the knowledge about magic wands, but did not mention how to make them at all.

A wand is made up of two main parts: the wand wood and the core.

Not all wood is suitable for making wands. Only trees that contain magical properties can be used to make wands.

This tree is rare and difficult to find. It looks the same as ordinary trees of the same species, and it takes years of experience to recognize the difference.

But there is also a simpler method, which is to see if there is a Bowtruckle's nest on the tree. Generally, trees with Bowtruckle's nest can be used to make magic wands.

Different types of trees make wands with different characteristics. Finding a wand that suits your characteristics can help you get twice the result with half the effort when casting spells.

For example, a wand made of acacia can only be unleashed to its full power by the most talented wizards. Otherwise, it will make strange noises and smell bad, greatly reducing the power of the magic.

Wands made of alder wood like wizards who are kind-hearted and helpful, wands made of apple wood like wizards who have goals and ideals, wands made of cedar wood like wizards who are tough and loyal, and so on.

The length, hardness and elasticity of the wand will also affect its power.

The core of the wand is even more critical. It is much more important than the wood of the wand. The increase in the power of the magic wand's spells mainly depends on the choice of the core.

It is usually made of the hair and organs of magical animals, such as the hair of a Veela, the tail feathers of a Thestral, the beard of a troll, the heart nerves of a bird-like man-eater, and the spines of a White River monster.

The most precious of these are the unicorn's tail hair, the dragon's heart nerves and the phoenix's tail feathers.

"Unicorn's tail hair?"

Seeing this, George silently took out a small box from the suitcase, opened it, and revealed several bundles of unicorn tail hair inside.

He knew that wizards like Ollivander probably weren't short of money, so it would be very difficult to pay gold Galleons to get him to teach him how to make a wand.

That's why he prepared this rare unicorn tail hair.

As the most sacred magical animal, the unicorn is full of treasures.

Unicorn blood can sustain life, and even if you are on the brink of death, it can force you to stay alive.

Unicorn horns can be used to make high-level potions, and one gram of ground powder is worth twenty-one gold galleons.

Unicorn's tail hair is the best material for making magic wands.

However, the number of exclusive beasts is extremely small, and there are only a few of them in the world.

There happened to be several unicorns alive in the Forbidden Forest, although Voldemort killed one last year. A few days before leaving school, George secretly left the castle at night and used his "wing" magic to quietly fly into the Forbidden Forest.

He used his psychic powers to communicate with the creatures in the Forbidden Forest, avoided dangers such as centaurs and eight-eyed giant spiders, and found the few surviving unicorns.

Then he used magnetism to control the blade and cut off all the unicorns' tails at lightning speed, thus harvesting several bundles of snow-white unicorn tail hair.

Anyway, the unicorn's tail hair is similar to a horse's tail. It will grow back after a few years after being cut and will not cause any harm.

He didn't believe that so much unicorn tail hair couldn't be used to hit Ollivander and teach him how to make a wand.

You should know that a normal unicorn's tail has about two thousand tail hairs, and one tail feather can make a top-level magic wand. George harvested the tails of four unicorns, which means a total of eight thousand tail hairs.

He would smash it until Ollivander was willing to teach him.

The next morning, George pushed open the door of the potion shop and it was already white outside.

It snowed all night last night, making Knockturn Alley, which usually looks eerie, a little less scary.

Walking on the white snow, leaving a series of footprints, George walked out of Knockturn Alley and came to the door of Ollivander's Wand Shop on the south side of Diagon Alley.

This was his second time coming to this wand shop, the first time being to buy a wand before school started.

Ollivander's Wand Shop can be said to be one of the oldest shops in Diagon Alley. It has been making wands since 382 BC. It looks small and a bit shabby, and the golden sign on the door is peeling off.

As I pushed the door open and walked in, I immediately heard the ding-dong sound of reminders coming from the store.

"Good afternoon, do you need to buy a wand?"

An old man with silver eyes and white hair greeted me softly.

It was Garrick Ollivander, the owner of the shop.

George walked slowly up to Ollivander with a small smile on his face.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ollivander, my name is George, and I am not here to buy a wand, but I would like to learn the techniques of making a wand from you."

"You are kidding, right?"

Ollivander's face suddenly froze. He felt that the little wizard must be playing tricks on him.

Upon hearing this, George took out a large bag of a hundred gold Galleons and placed it on the counter.

"I can pay the tuition, as long as you are willing to teach. The tuition amount is up to you."

"I'm sorry, I can't teach you."

Ollivander glanced at the gold Galleons on the table, showing a look of surprise, but then shook his head decisively.

The fact that he could come up with so many gold Galleons showed that he really wanted to learn wand-making technology. However, wand-making technology was the foundation of the Ollivander family's survival in the wizarding world, so how could he teach it to outsiders casually?

Not to mention a hundred, even if it was ten thousand gold Galleons, he wouldn't be able to teach.

Seeing Ollivander's determined expression, George sighed, knowing that it would be useless to impress Ollivander with gold Galleons, and then put the box containing four bundles of unicorn tail feathers on the table.

"What if I use this as tuition?"

Reaching out and opening the box, George pushed the box in front of Ollivander.

"Nothing can be used as tuition fee, not even the hair of a unicorn's tail!!!"

Ollivander, who had been calm at first, almost jumped up on the spot after seeing four bundles of unicorn tail hair, and his pair of silver eyes seemed to be fixed on the box.
