Chapter 905 Avada eats a big melon!
Huihara Ai glanced at Martin: "Is this a magic wand?"
Although she has never formally read any of the Harry Potter series, whether novels or movies, she can still make a rough idea of what a magic wand looks like - doesn't it?
The wooden wand that the shop owner Ollivander had just lent Martin seemed to be a normal magic wand.
The one that Olivander took out for Ma Wu to choose was made of metal, hollow inside, with a handle perpendicular to the main body and an optical sight.
This is clearly a homemade firearm that is slightly longer than a pistol, and some even have a trigger.
Martin turned around and winked at Huiyuan Ai: "This is much better than a magic wand."
"This is the latest improved wand." I don't know if Ollivander could understand Chinese or if he could guess what Martin and Haibara Ai were talking about with his heels, so he explained it to them.
"Look at this grip. It fits the curvature of your palm perfectly. When you face a knockback spell, your wand won't be knocked off so easily, and it will be more difficult for the disarming spell to take effect on you. It also allows you to keep your wrist upright when holding the wand, which makes it easier."
Seeing that Ma Wu was still hesitating, Ollivander handed the handle of one of the wands into Ma Wu's hand and guided her to hold the handle.
The wands that Ollivander gave to the children were all small in size, and the handles were just the right size for Ma Wu's palm.
"The tip of the staff is hollow, like a track. It allows you to cast spells more accurately and focus the energy. When you use spells like Split and Thunder Explosion, the spells can fly farther and be more powerful... Have you ever played with a reed pipe and blew up a small ball of paper? Poof?"
"And this scope is very suitable for young wizards who are just beginning to master magic. When you first start to master witchcraft, it's hard to control the direction of the spell with your mind, right? Then you need to aim your wand more accurately - just rely on this."
"This is a detachable design. When you can control the spells freely, you can take it off. That's cool."
Ma Wu looked at the thing in her hand that was clearly a homemade musket. Even though the weird old man with messy hair in front of her had said so much, she still couldn't connect all this with her ideal magic wand.
Holding the eight-inch steel air core trigger 'magic wand' in his hand, Ma Wu looked at the walnut wand that Ollivander had put aside and lent to Martin before.
"Do you like traditional wands?" Ollivander thought that children would prefer new styles, but he did not hand the walnut wand to Ma Wu. Instead, he put it into a box on the shelf and then pulled out two slender wands from other locations.
"Try this first. It's eight inches of grapevine wood, with a unicorn hair core. And it's a very beautiful female unicorn."
Ma Wu picked up the plain brown magic wand and waved it towards the air excitedly: "Biu-biubiubiu! Mommy mommy coax!"
Of course, it doesn't matter. It's not a spell at all.
Ma Wu soon realized this, and after racking his brains to recall it, he recited the only spell he could remember to pronounce: "Avada Eats Big Melon!"
Ollivander rushed back when he heard the word "Avada", and then hid behind the shelf and looked in. His reaction speed was totally inconsistent with his thin and old appearance, but it was not surprising. If he hadn't had such a reaction speed, he would have been kicked to death by the unicorn when he was pulling out its tail hair.
Of course, Ma Wu couldn't cast the Killing Curse at all. The airflow caused by waving his wand was not even as loud as the sound of a fart.
It was a false alarm. Ollivander looked at Ma Wu with a look of surprise and anger - you don't know any other spells? You come here to learn the Killing Curse first? Are all Chinese wizard students so wild?
Perhaps Hogwarts's decision to start recruiting students at age 11 also has this consideration - children who are too aggressive are too aggressive.
However, this wand obviously didn't want to pay attention to Ma Wu, so Ollivander handed her another wand in his hand: "Look at this one, 9-inch yew wood, also with unicorn hair core."
The yew wand is said to have the power of life and death to its holder, and has a particularly dark and formidable reputation in the realm of duels and various curses. It seems very suitable for this kid who is about to throw the Unforgivable Curse at the beginning.
Unicorn hair is the most stable material that Ollivander has tried, and the heart nerves of a dragon are the most powerful for releasing magic, so most of Ollivander's works use these two materials as the core of the wand.
Before Ma Wu could wave her wand to try, Martin manually rotated her 90 degrees, from waving her wand at Ollivander to waving it at Doraemon.
Although Ma Wu, who has no basic knowledge at all, cannot get the big melon even if he recites the spell correctly, it is still better to be safe. After all, Doraemon is a robot cat and has no soul.
Doraemon just looked at Martin with contempt and was not afraid of being a target at all.
However, Ma Wu hadn't even started to chant yet. He just waved his wand in the air to test the feel. As a result, Doraemon was suddenly hit by an invisible force like telekinesis, and flew backwards and hit the wall: "Wow!"
If the previous wand just ignored Ma Wu, this wand was repelling Ma Wu, because Ma Wu was holding it and so it wanted to cause some damage.
Ma Wu looked at Doraji with a worried look on his face, thinking that he had gotten into a big disaster.
"Reparo." Ollivander took out his wand and lightly cast a restoration spell. Doraemon, who was embedded in the wall, floated back, and then the stone slabs of the wall and the overturned wand box flew back one after another, as if time was going back.
Doraemon, who floated back, looked at Martin Mawu with resentment.
Taking back the second wand from Ma Wu, the experienced Ollivander judged Ma Wu's "characteristics" through the reactions of the two wands, and then went directly to find a wand that matched Ma Wu's characteristics.
This time, he brought a beige wand, the surface of which was polished to be as smooth as jade, as if covered with a layer of glaze. The one-piece carved handle had an arc, and the wand was straight.
This time, as soon as Ma Wu took the staff in his hand, he didn't need to do anything, it glowed on its own. The floating light flowed from the beginning to the end, leaving dots of starlight on the surface.
Ma Wu's eyes widened slightly and he was quickly fascinated by the magic wand.
"This is the plane tree, an inquiring wand. The plane tree wand is eager to seek out new experiences, and will lose its luster in mundane activities. If it becomes "bored", it may burst into flames," Ollivander explained, while warning: "Many a plane tree owner in middle age has used a plane tree wand again and again for trivial tasks such as fetching slippers, only to watch in panic as his trusty wand suddenly caught fire in his hand after casting a spell."
Obviously, the sycamore wand's favorite owner is an explorer. And when paired with such an owner, the sycamore wand will show a strong ability to learn and adapt, so it is also one of the most sought-after wand woods in the world. Keen on new experiences... Huiyuan Ai looked at Martin. She felt that this trait would also be very suitable for Martin. Should we say that they are worthy of being a family?
"That's it!" Ma Wu said excitedly. She began to realize that the wand in her hand was 'alive' and was sending friendly signals to her.
"By the way, don't worry that traditional wands can't keep up with the times. I have also made modern wand modification kits that can be installed on your traditional wand." Ollivander took out a laser sight, a muzzle, and a vertical grip that can be put on the wand.
The light in Ma Wu's eyes disappeared again.
Next is to choose a magic wand for Haibara Ai.
"I need a traditional wand." Huibara Ai said in advance when Ollivander measured her arm length like a tailor.
Those homemade musket-like things are so weird, wouldn't wizards be stopped by security when they bring them into Muggle society? Oh, they are not checked.
Finally, through the same steps, he helped Haibara Ai find a varnished brown ash wood wand.
"An ash wand is loyal to only one master. If it is given away or passed on to someone else by its original owner, it will lose its power and skills. This quality is particularly enhanced when the wand core is from a unicorn." Ollivander introduced her, "In my experience, wizards who are most suitable for ash wood will not be easily influenced to change their beliefs and plans."
Huiyuan Ai gently stroked the wand in her hand, which was emitting a faint glow like a firefly. Unlike the transformations of Martin's one-day experience cards in the past, this wand would probably always be with her in the future. Fortunately, she was very satisfied with it.
Next it was Martin's turn. The adventurous Martin did not choose the classic sycamore staff, but a fresher new staff.
"It's a little big for you now, but I believe you will grow into a tall young man soon." Ollivander said as he looked at the 'magic wand' that Martin held in both hands.
The main body of the 20-inch staff is made of mithril smelted by fairy metalsmiths. The center of the front half is hollowed out, and the back half is the core of the fire dragon's heart nerve, which can maximize the power of destructive magic.
In addition to the grip and trigger, there are also herringbone rails, a front grip, a scope and a plastic wand rest. The overall shape is like a 27-inch (about 70 cm) long assault rifle.
Although he was a little small, Martin still held the 'magic wand' in a relatively standard posture, put the 'stock' against his shoulder, and felt the angle of the scope.
Ever since Martin picked up the wand, many colorful spots of light appeared on its silver surface. They were not only very bright but also had regular shapes, just like a piece of light-pollution RGB computer hardware.
"Silverware made by goblins has some special properties. For example, it will not be covered with dust, it can absorb and only absorb things that can strengthen it, and it can effectively resist the fire spell and the replication spell." Ollivander introduced: "I have engraved a repeating spell on the trigger. As long as you pull the trigger, you can release the spell you released last time again. If you keep pulling the trigger, it will continue to release."
This is truly an assault rifle.
The three of them had chosen their wands and were about to pay when the door of the shabby shop was pushed open again.
Harry Potter came in alone, and Hagrid was nowhere to be seen.
Oliver, who was about to collect the money, looked up at the boy who came in and suddenly stopped.
There was no need for the other person to introduce himself or reveal the lightning on his forehead beneath his bangs. Just one glance was enough for Ollivander to recognize the other person's identity - the famous Harry Potter.
Ollivander immediately left Martin and the other two who had not paid yet, and hurried to serve Harry Potter.
"Nice to meet you at last, Mr. Potter. It seems like it was just yesterday that your parents bought their first wand here." Oliver eagerly took Harry Potter's hand and pulled the little boy, who was a little disoriented due to Hagrid's absence, into the store.
Without even asking or waiting for Harry Potter to explain his purpose, Ollivander, who was open for business today, went to get the staff he thought was suitable for Harry Potter.
"Harry Potter." Ma Wu looked at little brother Harry Potter with shining eyes.
Harry Potter turned his head following the sound and found that he had met the three children again.
"Hello, are you wizards too?" Harry Potter was a little surprised by the ages of the three people, but Harry Potter was not yet accustomed to the common sense of wizards, so he was not as surprised as others.
His eyes were mainly focused on the wands held by the three men.
In fact, Hagrid's wand was hidden in the umbrella, and all the wizards seen in Diagon Alley today had no reason to wave their wands in front of Harry Potter.
So after entering this store, Harry Potter observed the wands up close for the first time. After passing Ma Wu's wand and Huiyuan Ai's wand, his eyes fell on the new wand in Martin's hand, and his heart skipped a beat: Why would a child carry a gun?
And without keeping him waiting for long, Ollivander also brought back a wand suitable for him: "Phoenix tail feathers are the best material for casting spells, but the tail feathers are very long, so the wand made from them is also very long."
The wand that Ollivander brought out looked like a large-caliber anti-material sniper rifle, similar to a Barrett. It was 45 inches long and almost as tall as Martin when erected.
Harry Potter took it in confusion and bewilderment, but the moment he held it, Harry Potter's state changed.
The idea of how to hold the gun naturally emerged in his mind, and his body had already moved on its own. Turning around and seeing a suitable wooden box as a shelter, Harry Potter half-knelt involuntarily, placing the two front legs of the 'wand' on the wooden box, and adjusting his body to the state of 'man and gun as one' according to the knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind, supporting the butt of the gun with his upright shoulders.
A stream of light lingered at the muzzle of the gun, then spread, even spreading to Harry Potter's body, making him seem as if his entire body was glowing.
"Amazing!" Looking at this scene, Ollivander couldn't help but sigh, even a little crazy: "It's really amazing. I have always believed that the wand chooses its owner, Mr. Potter, you will achieve great things, you will become the king of war!"
"Like... the owner of the wand made from another phoenix feather. We never mention his name, but he did achieve great things, although they were terrible things." (End of this chapter)
