The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"here is?"

Emily woke up from her meditation and looked at the building in front of her with some doubts.

"It's a wand shop, a bit like Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley."

Link rubbed his chin and explained.

But his explanation is actually a bit far-fetched, because this shop called "Zangwill Wand" is completely different from Ollivander's small shop in terms of scale and decoration.

The huge solid gold sign Ollivander alone is absolutely impossible to display.

Not to mention that this store is built like a commercial building, more than ten stories high.

Emily said with curiosity in her eyes:

"The French wand...is it any different from the French wand?"

Emily thought of Fleur's wand.

The wand used by the girl from Beauxbatons seemed to have Veela hair as the core.

This is simply unbelievable among the wizards of the country.

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed across Dumbledore's lips.

Among the people present, no one knows more about the French magical world than him.

Therefore, he was already prepared to be asked by Link and others before giving an answer.

He enjoys the pleasure of being a teacher.

Unfortunately, Link just looked at him with a half-smile, and then said:

"There should be a difference. Since you are so curious, let's go in and have a look. I believe the store clerk will give us an answer."

As soon as he said this, Dumbledore almost didn't come back.

But when he came back to his senses, Link and Emily, accompanied by Old Kled, had already walked into the shop in front of them, and seeing this, he had no choice but to follow them.

Zangwill's Wand Shop is bigger inside than it appears from the outside.

As soon as they entered the hall, Link and Emily were greeted by endless display stands and a large number of people walking between the display stands.

The entire hall on the first floor seemed to be an exhibition hall. It had been completely emptied by magic and a traceless stretching spell was cast on it. It was wide open and the existence of the load-bearing mechanism was not visible at all.

In addition, the entire Zangwill Wand Shop building should have been treated with constant temperature and humidity.

Paired with the cool-toned lighting in the hall, it gives people a very cool feeling.

While Link, Emily and others were looking at the entire hall, a group of shopping guides not far away guarding the door were also looking at them.

People like this who are active on the front line all year round have excellent ability to recognize people.

In their eyes, Link and his friends were as prominent as the bright moon in the night sky.

There is no way, the characteristics of Link and others are too obvious.

A young and handsome boy and a girl with an elegant temperament, accompanied by a house elf and an elderly butler, as well as Link and Emily in exaggerated shapes. It is obvious that they just bought high-end pullover cloaks. This is obviously a foreign look. The gesture of your noble son traveling to France with his beauty.

It’s not hard to see people like this on Lion Heart Street.

After all, Lionheart Street is a well-known tourist attraction in the magical community around the world.

There are so many wizards traveling here every year that it is almost impossible to count.

Otherwise, the statue of the Virgin in the square of Fontainebleau Palace would not have been touched like that just based on the small amount of traffic from local French wizards.

And a combination like Link has another label in the eyes of shopping guides.

That is - fat sheep!

In just a moment, almost all the shopping guides’ eyes lit up.

Several people gathered together and argued quietly for a long time. Finally, a tall shopping guide walked out of the crowd with great pride.

"Hello, welcome. How can I help?"

The shopping guide put on a professional smile and said flatteringly.

Link and others all turned their heads when they heard this.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up.

The shopping guide who came was actually a very beautiful woman.

Regardless of her figure or appearance, she was one of the upper-middle-class beings of the opposite sex that Link had 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 widen.

But the only problem is that the uniform she's wearing is terrible.

The bright red uniforms resemble those of a Chinese yangko team and it’s hard not to laugh out loud.

Naturally, the shopping guide knew the ridicule hidden in the smiles of Link and others.

But she was secretly happy.

Because the 'Yangko Team Uniform' she was wearing was specially customized by Zangwill Wand Shop in accordance with the latest trends.

In the aesthetic system of French wizards, this is absolutely a high-end product.

Those who can laugh out loud are definitely foreigners.

And there is a high probability that he is from the country of Yu!

Only those boring and stereotyped 'old gentlemen' would look down on this kind of clothing.

This is definitely a good thing for them.

Because although the magic world of this group of countries has declined.

But the nobles who can come to Lion Heart Street are really rich!

With this thought in mind, the shopping guide ignored the subconscious ridicule from Link and others and continued to wait respectfully.

This actually made Link a little embarrassed.

He covered his mouth and coughed twice and said:

"Then please first introduce to us this wand of Zangwill. How is it different from Ollivander in Diagon Alley?"

Link's standard remarks for foreign guests made the shopping guide even more excited.

She suppressed the joy in her heart and lowered her body lower and said:

"Okay, customer. Our Zangwill Wand Store was founded in 1930. Although it has not been in business for a long time, it is the largest chain of wand stores in Europe. We specialize in the sale and purchase of various mass-produced wands. , we also accept high-end wand customization business and are guaranteed to meet any of your wand needs!”

"Mass production wand?"

Emily said with a frown.

This was the first time she had come across this term.

Old Kelie didn't wait for the shopping guide to continue explaining, then pointed to the wands on display around him and said:

"It's those wands. They are made from the cheapest wood and magical animal materials through assembly lines. In order to enhance the adaptability, they plan to compress the extraordinary properties of these wands to the extreme, which makes these wands able to increase the magic power of wizards. To say it’s trivial is to say it’s just a load of rubbish!”

Hearing this, Emily nodded, and the curiosity in her eyes gradually dissipated.

This made the shopping guide on the side very anxious.

She said eagerly:

"In the eyes of such a noble being like you, these wands are indeed not very good. But these are just products for ordinary wizards. The super adaptability and cheap price of these wands make these wands very popular among ordinary wizards. ’s favorite!

And for your noble existence, we also have high-end customized services! "

Emily looked at Old Kled again.

She didn't have any favorable impression of this broad-minded shopping guide, and preferred to listen to Old Kelley's explanation.

And Old Kelie also continued:

"It's true. Unlike the country of Yu, many foreign wizards really like to use this mass-produced wand. There are many such people in our family's hunter group. Let me tell you, their wand usage habits It's broken. The precious wand has become a consumable in their hands. If it doesn't work or is tired of looking at it, just replace it. It's cheap anyway."

"Cheap? How cheap can it be?"

"Each one is about ten gold galleons."

"Isn't that similar to what Ollivander's Wand Shop sells?"

"It's different. Almost every wand made by Ollivander can be described as a work of art. They are all unique. The reason why the wizards of the United States can buy them at such a cheap price is purely because of the magic of the United States. The ministry has provided subsidies in this area." Link took over and said, "Otherwise, depending on the quality of Ollivander's wand, the cost price alone would be nearly a hundred gold galleons. But this kind of subsidy is only available to each wizard in his lifetime. Once. That is to say, wizards in China still retain the habit of one person with one wand, and Ollivanders generally does not sell a second wand to the same person, so this policy is rarely known. If your wand is accidentally damaged, look for it again Ollivander will find that the price of the wand he offers this time will be ridiculously high."

Emily suddenly realized when she heard this.

Link then turned to look at the shopping guide aside and said:

"What is the customized service you are talking about?"

As soon as these words came out, the shopping guide who originally thought that he would not be able to do anything after being disturbed by Old Kelie immediately lit up with joy on his face and said enthusiastically:

"Our customization service is exclusively for high-end customers like you. You also said before that Master Ollivander of the United States will theoretically not sell it to you unless your original wand is damaged. A second wand from the same person.

But unlike our Zangwill wands, we don’t have any restrictions on the number of wands our guests can have.

And we can also produce a variety of wands according to the needs of our customers, from the material of the wand body to the shape and even the inner core.

The most important thing is that our unique patented technology allows these wands to have unique shapes while still being perfectly adapted to the user.

Please note that the perfect fit I'm talking about here is not the 'fit' of a mass-produced wand.

But a true, perfect, adaptation!

In other words, the customized wand will have characteristics that conform to the customizer's usage habits, hand shape, arm length, body shape and even magical properties, and will be truly perfect in all aspects!

This effect is almost the same as the work of Master Ollivander! "

"But it's just almost." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Link, you don't need to put too much thought into these things. After all, the custom-made wands here are still not as good as the ones you have at Ollivander's." The wand obtained. The biggest difference between them is that the wand here is dead, while Ollivander’s wand is alive.”

"That's true," the shopping guide continued with a smile, "but Ollivander's wand can't be like ours, where the shape and material can be customized at will, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, 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 an expression of the perfect surrender of the wand to him.

To a certain extent, the wands made by the Ollivander family are indeed, as they say, living, independent individuals, and entities that can choose their own users.

They can grow with their owners.

For example, that larch tree can give its user courage, and it can also exert miraculous power after its user has extraordinary courage.

Ebony wands are aggressive and aggressive.

It is highly compatible with Link.

And in the long relationship with Link, he made changes for Link.

The magical qualities begin to become sharper and sharper, just as Link himself changes.

These are all things that Zangwill's wand cannot do.

Their custom wands are designed to match the current characteristics and habits of the buyer just like Ollivander's wands.

But there is no growth at all.

Slowly putting away his wand, Link looked at the shopping guide and smiled:

"I'm interested in your custom wand service."

The shopping guide was overjoyed at this statement, while Dumbledore was dissatisfied and shouted again:

"Link!"

Unfortunately, Link had no intention of paying attention to him and continued:

"But I have to confirm again. Can your Zangwill wand customization service be able to produce wands of any shape or material?"

The shopping guide patted his broad mind and said:

"Don't worry about this, even if you want a cane-shaped wand, we can satisfy you!"

She didn't say this casually.

According to her experience, this kind of cane-shaped wand is the most preferred by the noble wizards from the country of Yu.

Some wizards who are reluctant to part with their original wands will also customize a cane deformation shell here, so that their wands can be transformed into canes at any time.

The most typical example she remembered seemed to be a noble named Malfoy.

The other party used a large amount of precious materials to set it up, and also used mithril alloy to customize a snake-head-shaped armrest on the cane handle.

She thought that Link might also be interested in this type of look.

Unfortunately, she guessed wrong this time.

After receiving her affirmative answer, Link just nodded, and then said:

"That means that even if I want a gem dagger wand made of metal and gems, you can satisfy me?"

As soon as Link said this, Dumbledore's eyes, which were slightly lowered because he was dissatisfied with Link's refusal to listen to persuasion, instantly raised their eyes with an unusual light.

He guessed Link's thoughts immediately.

As the only person who has ever fought the shadow man at close range.

They all knew that the wand used by the shadow man in the battle was a dagger.

Could it be that the dagger and wand was custom-made here?

For a moment, Link and Dumbledore's eyes were all focused on the female shopping guide.

Link and Dumbledore were both important figures who had been in high positions for a long time.

The momentum that had been accumulated at ordinary times was suddenly released at this moment, instantly putting huge pressure on the shopping guide.

She only felt that her throat was dry. This situation was extremely rare for her. After all, as one of the best shopping guides at Zangwill Wand Shop, the people she usually received were all rich and noble.

The shopping guide took several deep breaths and then stammered:

"Yes...yes, if you need it, we can also...can make a dagger wand for you."
