Chapter 14 The Magical Magic Tree

"So, every wand is unique, and the wood required to make them is also taken from special wood. The source of these woods is unique. Not only the wood, but the core of the wand is also made of very special wood. It is made of magical creatures and magical creatures, and the different characteristics of the wand are produced by the different combinations of trees and wand cores." Master Ollivander continued. Although Drinker did not understand what the other party wanted to say, he He probably understood a little bit. Master Ollivander seemed to mean that every wand was different, and different combinations of trees and wand cores would produce different wands, but he didn't know what the purpose of the other person's words was.

"Is this the difference between professionals and amateurs?" Drinker thought in his mind. Apparently Drinker didn't listen at all to the special characteristics of the wand explained by Master Ollivander.

"In addition, after each wand finds its ideal owner, it will begin to teach it its own characteristics and learn the characteristics of the holder. This is why the older the wands are, the higher their properties will be. To put it simply, The longer a wand is used, the better its coordination with wizards. Of course, these also involve the type of spell and the method of casting it," Master Ollivander continued, and he seemed to see that Drinker didn't understand. , he felt that he had said too much.

In fact, Master Ollivander has been paying attention to Drinker from the beginning. He just saw with his own eyes that Drinker's face changed from full of interest to now full of interest.

"Okay, Drink, what I just told you is the basics of the wand. It doesn't matter if you don't remember what I just said. You will gradually experience these feelings when you make your own wand in the future. Now, Let me tell you about some magic trees first!" Master Ollivander decided to change the approach, and he decided to start with trees.

"First, Acacia. Acacia is a very unusual wand wood. Wands made from this wood are so cunning that they refuse to be used by anyone but the wand owner, and they only work for The most talented people show their best performance." This time Master Ollivander's method seemed to work, and things like magic trees obviously interested Drinker.

"Because they are so special, this special sensitivity makes it very difficult to find suitable owners for them, so I only hold a small stock of acacia wands, and they are for wizards who are alert enough." Besides, the acacia wood wand is not suitable for the so-called "crackling" magic that can create a lot of noise and smell." Master Ollivander continued. While he was talking, he also added The appearance of the acacia wood is revealed with a kind of visual magic.

The acacia wood is not golden, but silver. The silver acacia wood is full of sparkling light. This is the first time that Drinker has seen a magical creature. Although this is only a tree, even this kind of tree is Let a muggle like him get addicted to it.

"Another point is that acacia wood also has a very proud side, so once they are successfully matched, they will serve their master wholeheartedly. In addition, acacia wood wands can be matched with any nature to produce power, but because they are too difficult to match the right Master, so their power is often underestimated because of their weird temper." Ollivander continued, hearing this, Drinker couldn't help but want to ask why his wand was not made of acacia wood, but this kind of brain-dead The thought was instantly forgotten by him.

The acacia trees are gorgeous, probably the most gorgeous trees Drinker has ever seen in his life.

"Next is the black walnut," Master Ollivander told Drinker for a long time, and after the master told some more details about the magical trees, he talked about the second type of tree.

"You should know that walnut is a very common tree, but black walnut is different. This tree is very rare, so wands made from it are not as common as wands made from ordinary walnut." Next, Austrian Master Levander began to introduce the second type of tree.

"The master it is looking for generally has keen intuition and strong insight." As he spoke, Master Ollivander once again used concrete magic to materialize the appearance of black walnut.

It was a kind of black tree with a strong gray atmosphere. The black walnut wood was represented by a gray gas visible to the naked eye. Drink looked at this strange tree and was full of curiosity. He wanted to ask Ou Master Levander Does real black walnut also give off ash?But he didn't ask in the end.

"Black walnut is a beautiful-looking wood, but they are not simple to use. They have a famous quirk, which is that they are extremely sensitive to inner conflicts, and if their owner is in any degree self-deceptive, Or has evil intentions, then it will lose its magic power instantly. If the holder is unable or unwilling to face himself or others honestly, this wand will not be able to be used normally or even lose its power," Ollivander continued.

After hearing what he said, Drinker was very curious. To be honest, he didn't believe that black walnut really had such qualities, and he couldn't associate the scary black walnut with beauty. Moreover, he really couldn't imagine this. It's scary how long a tree grows, but it actually has such righteous characteristics.

"I'm not lying, kid. If their owner really did that, then they are no longer its owner, and they will need a new owner to match or restore their former glory." Ollie Master Vander continued. He seemed to see that Drinker was somewhat suspicious of Black Walnut, so he explained again.

"Of course, if they are matched with a sincere and self-aware owner, they will be the most loyal of all wands. They will show their uniqueness and even be unique in casting various types of spells." Master Levander explained again that it was obvious that he liked black walnut wood.

Next, Master Ollivander told Drink a lot about magic trees. Except for the time for eating and people coming to buy wands, Master Ollivander spent the whole day explaining magic trees to Drink.

By around six o'clock in the evening, he had learned nineteen kinds of magic trees. Each of these nineteen kinds of magic trees made Drinker addicted.

Among these nineteen types of trees, in addition to the first two, there were four types of trees that impressed Drinker the most.

The first is cherry wood. The cherry wood mentioned here is not the wood of the cherry tree, but a very rare wood produced in Japan.

Cherry wood is very special. Each wand made of cherry wood has a magical power, that is, it will fit well when casting spells.

Because cherry wood is produced in Japan, the students of Japan's magic school Tokuro use this type of wand the most, and they also have the highest evaluation of this type of wand.

In Japan, owners of cherry wood wands have special prestige and popularity.At the same time, perhaps it is because the Japanese admire this type of wand too much that Western wizards do not like this type of wand. Of course, it is foolish to abandon this type of wand, because cherry wood chooses its owner randomly, and they are suitable for almost everyone. wizard.

Cherry wood is very beautiful, and its leaves exude a dreamy pale pink light, but don't think that this wand is just a decorative wand, because cherry wood is one of the best in terms of core material and power of the wand.

In addition, cherry wood is suitable for all wand cores. No matter what magical creature it is, even the nerves of frogs and the spinal cord of crows can make wands with powerful magic. Among them, cherry wood wands with dragon nerves as the core are the most powerful. Strong, this type of wand has far more power than other wands, so the cherry wood dragon nerve wand must not fall into the hands of a wizard who does not have extraordinary self-control or is not mentally strong enough.

The second type is hawthorn. When Ollivander said hawthorn, Drinker thought it was a hawthorn tree, but it was not.

Hawthorn is a very unique tree. It is emerald green, and its leaves and flowers have healing properties. But the most amazing thing is its broken branches. The broken branches of the hawthorn tree have a death-like smell. .

The properties of hawthorn are novel and complex, just like the people who are suitable for this kind of wand, the internal conflict of the camellia tree is very conflicting. In addition, for example, hawthorn wands are particularly suitable for healing magic, but they are also experts in curse magic.

Hawthorn wands generally have contradictory properties, or they are sought after by a wizard who is in a period of confusion, but hawthorn is not easy to control.

"I would only consider distributing hawthorn wands to really talented wizards, otherwise the consequences of such wands may be dangerous." This is what Master Ollivander said when introducing hawthorn wood.

Another oddity worth mentioning about hawthorn wands is that the spells they cast may backfire in the worst-case scenario.Like their very nature, every wand made from hawthorn has something contradictory about it.

The third type is that Drinker is curious about yew wood, all because of the Dark Lord. Tom Riddle’s wand is made of yew wood. Yew wands are relatively rare because their ideal owners are unusual people. They are very rare. Will choose, even sometimes some notorious guys.

"Yew wands are said to have the power to confer life and death on their bearers. This feature may be true of all wands, of course, but yew has a particularly dark and formidable reputation in the realm of dueling and various hexes. ."

"But it is wrong to suggest that people with yew wands are more likely to be attracted to the dark arts. Wizards suited to yew wands are also likely to play the role of hero and protector. Created using the longest-lived tree The wand has its wielders almost equally among heroes and villains."

"So wizards who are buried with yew wands usually have a towering tree grown from the wand in front of their graves to guard the grave. In my experience, what is certain is that yew wands will never be used against mediocre or ordinary people. Those who are timid are worthy of submission," Master Ollivander said of them.

The last one is holly. According to Ollivander, holly is also one of the rarer wand woods, but they are not as rare as yew and cherry, and they are traditionally considered to have protective effects. , their owners are best suited to people who need to overcome impulses and anger, and they are most at home in the hands of such owners.

In addition, holly wands are often chosen by owners who like dangerous and noble things. Holly wands are also one of the few wands whose performance changes the most depending on the core. Especially the wands paired with phoenix feathers are the most outstanding because this kind of wood There is a strange friction between the capricious characteristics and the transcendental characteristics of the Phoenix, but when the pairing of holly wood and Phoenix feathers occurs under certain abnormal circumstances, this combination is invincible and unstoppable.

In addition to the original black walnut and acacia, cherry, hawthorn, yew and holly are the four trees that Drinker is most curious about.

The first two are because of the color, whether it's the pale pink shine of cherry wood or the emerald green glow of hawthorn, which Drinker can't forget.

As for the latter two, it is because of two key people. Voldemort’s wand is made of yew, while Harry Potter’s wand is made of holly. Combined with their personalities and endings, Drinker can’t help but feel that Ollie Master Fande is absolutely right.
