The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 682 Wand and Trophy
"Kid, even though you saved me and gave me a second life, you can't insult my ability in this area." After hearing Ryan's words, Ollivander choked and coughed a few times, then said angrily.

"Our family has preserved the oldest wand-making techniques in almost all of Western Europe, which include all the techniques from the Age of Mythology and Heroes to the present. So I don't think that I am much behind the wand-making master who made the Elder Wand in terms of skills in this regard."

After he finished speaking, Ollivander glared at Ryan with his eyes wide open to express his dissatisfaction with Ryan's words. As a master wand maker, Ollivander has his own pride. He will not allow others to belittle his craftsmanship at will.

"You don't believe that fairy tale, do you?" Ollivander said as if he suddenly remembered something. "I can assure you that the so-called Deathly Hallows made by the God of Death is just a legend. When I was imprisoned two days ago, Gregorovitch told me that he once owned the Elder Wand. According to the results of his examination, it can be confirmed that the wand was indeed made by human wizards, not some kind of miracle from the gods. Although I don't quite agree with his style, I believe that I will not make a wrong judgment in this regard."

"I know this." Ryan said to Ollivander, "What I meant just now is that in order to make a wand like the Elder Wand, you must reach a certain level of strength. If you are not strong enough, then even if you follow the correct method, you will not be able to make such a powerful wand."

"Strength?" After hearing this, Ollivander fell into deep thought. As a wand-making master, his own strength was not particularly strong. It was just that he never had to consider his own strength when making ordinary wands before, so he had never thought about it in this direction before.

"It should be strength." Ryan stared into Ollivander's eyes and nodded solemnly, then summoned Our Lady of the Rose. "You will know after looking at this."

"Is this the alchemist stone?" As a wand-making master, Ollivander naturally knew something about alchemy. So after examining the gem in Ryan's hand, he quickly figured out what it was. "If I remember correctly, Nicolas Flamel had an alchemist stone. But since that alchemist stone was destroyed, there should be no alchemist stone in Europe."

"So that's exactly what happened." Ryan raised his eyebrows. "But I made something like this again, and in the process I discovered that personal strength plays a big role in making these special items. Just like the making of the alchemist stone, I can even find ways to make the alchemist stone among Muggles, but not many people can make it, because there are too few people who meet the strength requirements for refining."

"——You should be right." Ollivander, who originally wanted to stick to his own opinion, had to admit that he could not make a powerful wand like the Elder Wand because of his lack of skills after seeing the Madonna of the Rose in front of him.

"But you'd better pay attention. I think the Dark Lord is not looking for all kinds of powerful magic props just to defeat you or Headmaster Dumbledore." Ollivander frowned and said, "Based on his previous behavior, I feel that he seems to think that his strength has reached a perfect level, so he is now looking for all kinds of magic props and even things from myths and legends because he believes that these things will make him invulnerable."

"What a strange idea." Hermione didn't quite understand. "A wand is just a wand. Why do some people think that these powerful items can make people more powerful than before?"

"I think that's because he feels that he has gone far enough on the road to conquering death, even to the extreme." Ryan explained to Hermione through the Phoenix Mark, "At least in terms of Horcruxes, he can no longer cut out more soul fragments. This may make him feel that his potential has been tapped to the extreme, so now he begins to seek external forces to improve himself. And the first two times I used the power of Our Lady of the Rose should have reminded him of the importance of external forces."

"But you're obviously not--" Hermione was a little puzzled. She knew that Ryan's Rose Madonna was not the same as the Philosopher's Stone, and it couldn't be considered as an act of relying on external forces. It was completely different from the Deathly Hallows.

"But the You-Know-Who doesn't know." Ryan winked at Hermione mischievously after conveying this sentence through the Phoenix Mark.

After interacting with Hermione, Ryan turned to Ollivander and said, "Thank you very much for the information you brought. It will provide sufficient help for our next move. We will leave now and let you have a good rest." "Yes, yes, I do need a good rest. The torture the Dark Lord inflicted on me before was too severe. The Cruciatus Curse... you don't know..."

"We know," Ryan nodded seriously and said, "I really know. Please have a good rest. If you need anything, you can tell those metal robots to do it, and they will complete your orders. Finally, thank you for telling us all this." After that, Ryan and Hermione tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

In the following afternoon, Ryan and his friends started to clean up the pile of magic materials that they had seized from the basement in the living room. Before, under Voldemort's call, many pure-blood families took out their hidden treasures. This also allowed Ryan and his friends to find a lot of good things that they had never seen even in the school library.

"I finally know why the You-Know-Who doesn't allow the Dead Apostles to enter that house." Hermione said, holding up a palm-sized piece of amber, which contained a drop of sky-blue liquid. But the magical thing was that there was a layer of white frost on the surface of the amber. "There are too many precious treasures in that house. With the You-Know-Who's suspicious personality, he will definitely not let others have the opportunity to apologize for those treasures."

"Besides, the wand made in there is the You-Know-Who's wand." Ryan also picked up a silver ingot forged by the goblins and looked at the sunlight outside the window. "The wand is equivalent to the second life of a wizard, so the You-Know-Who will definitely not let his subordinates see the process. If I'm not mistaken, Ollivander and his team really made a wand that can rival the Elder Wand, and what awaits them is definitely murder."

Ryan and his team spent most of the day cleaning up this pile of treasures, and finally sorted them out until late at night. In the process, Ryan discovered that the supernatural powers in Harry Potter's world should have been much more prosperous than they are now. The rich magic contained in those unknown claws, feathers, scales and other things in various containers can explain some problems.

"How powerful must these magical creatures be when they are alive." Hermione exclaimed after discovering the energy attached to these things, "Maybe the world at that time was just like the Silvermoon City we visited last time, nurturing a powerful magical civilization."

"But that kind of world is not friendly to most people." Ryan had to point this out. "For example, the Silver Moon City we visited last time was already the safest city in the area, but if an ordinary person left the protection of the city walls, his life would be in danger."

"You're right, so the current state of the place is the best." Hermione shrugged her shoulders. "As for this kind of magical material, we have so many worlds anyway, we can always find a world that produces this level of material."

"You are right, but even those worlds would not have easy time gathering so many top-notch materials at once. At least, even in a prosperous place like Silvermoon City, I have only seen so many things in the treasury of Alustriel. It seems that the mysterious man has emptied the wealth of those pure-blood families this time."

"But now they are all ours." Hermione showed a brilliant smile, "It is our current duty to save the innocent and stop atrocities. But it would be even better if there were more unexpected gains."

"Don't even think about it." Ryan smiled and shook his head. "Even pure-blood families don't have too many of these things, so I don't think there will be big gains like today in the future."

"I know, but people should always be optimistic. Maybe one day the You-Know-Who will have some brain problems and gather another batch of treasures." Hermione stood up after she finished speaking. "Okay, let's go eat. It's too late for dinner today."
