I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 11 Ancient Staff

Ollivander's eyes widened upon hearing Rhine's words.

No?

Isn't this request a bit too unconventional?

Modern wizards desire wands that are lighter, easier to carry, and quicker to insert and remove.

As for whether the wand will be damaged?

As long as you don't use your wand to hit people, or pass it between the brothers like the Weasleys did, this is definitely a low-probability event.

Rhine, however, wanted a wand that was completely contrary to the current mainstream, and even powerful enough to be used to hit people.

"This kind of wand is not the main focus of our Ollivander family."

Ollivander muttered something under his breath.

Hagrid was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

But Rhein's eyes lit up.

"It's not our main focus, but you didn't say there isn't such a wand."

Ollivander paused, then sighed.

"I was going to keep you in suspense, but these young wizards are too clever these days."

"Okay, I do have a very, very old wand here, well, it's not really a wand, a more accurate name would be a staff."

"This is a piece from our Ollivander family collection. It's a staff that predates the founding of Hogwarts and is even older than Merlin's."

Then, Ollivander entered the storeroom through a small door behind the counter.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a long, rectangular box that was covered in dust.

This box alone is over a meter long.

Its weight was also quite exaggerated; Ollivander couldn't even take it out himself and had to use a levitation spell to bring it to the counter.

When the box was opened, what was revealed to Rhine was a staff made entirely of metal, engraved with various mysterious patterns.

Ollivander's cheek twitched.

"Mr. Rhine, this is what you wanted."

"But I must advise you, this thing weighs at least several tens of pounds and is a staff used by wizards in battle from a very ancient time."

"You have to understand that wizards back then didn't have many spells. They relied more on hand-to-hand combat than spellcasting, which is why these staffs came in handy."

"But magic has evolved to the point where wizards no longer need to fight hand-to-hand. These sluggish, heavy, and difficult-to-carry staffs have long been eliminated by history."

"Even though its melee and magical power are far superior to current wands, I'm afraid only someone with Hagrid's physique could wield it."

"Not to mention spellcasting gestures and such, if you choose that, completing the Hogwarts curriculum will be a huge problem."

Rhine looked at the staff before him, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

Who could resist a round, straight stick with mysterious patterns?

Then, Rhine reached out and grasped the heavy staff.

As Ollivander repeatedly warned him to be careful, but then his gaze turned to one of utter disbelief, Rhine easily lifted the staff.

Completely metallic and weighing several tens of pounds, it would be almost unbearable for any wizard in the magical world, but for Rhine, who possessed skin of copper and bones of iron, it felt just right.

The only thing that made Rhine somewhat dissatisfied was that the staff was still a bit too long for his current height.

After all, he was only eleven years old and hadn't fully developed yet. His staff was almost taller than him, making it difficult to wield.

"It would be better if it were a little shorter."

Rhine sighed.

The next moment, a pattern on the staff seemed to understand Rhine's words.

The entire staff began to shorten. Although the weight remained the same and it was still much longer than a regular wand after shortening, Rhine could now wield it like a short stick.

Rhine's gaze burned even brighter.

"Holy crap, it can even get longer and shorter?"

He's got skin and bones of copper and iron, who could resist a Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff)?

"That's it!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Rhine chose this ancient staff.

Ollivander maintained a look of existential skepticism throughout, even blinking at Hagrid as a thought popped into his head.

"Is this little wizard related to Hagrid? Could he be Hagrid's illegitimate son, also possessing half-giant blood?"

"Otherwise, what eleven-year-old wizard could so easily lift a staff weighing dozens of pounds?"

At the same time, he looked at the ancient staff that Rhine could freely change length in his hand, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

This ancient staff was also studied by the Ollivander family, but they lost interest in it a thousand years ago and kept it as a mere collectible.

He hadn't expected that Rhein could make it exhibit such characteristics.

Ollivander, who has always believed that wands and their owners go hand in hand, couldn't help but think that "this might be some kind of special destiny."

This topic further piqued his interest.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Alright, Mr. Rhine, since you insist, I think this staff is indeed very suitable for you."

Ollivander pondered.

"I won't take your money."

"But I hope you can regularly share your experiences using this wand with me, and also help me with some wand studies."

Rheinland readily agreed.

He also coveted the connections of Ollivander, the "Sect Master of the Weapon Forging Sect".

Going a step further, reaching the level of a close friendship will grant you the talent of controlling fire at will.

Whether it's alchemy, potions, or combat, this talent could probably produce amazing results, and Rhine couldn't possibly miss it.

Ollivander asked him for help, which was exactly what Rhine wanted.

Finally, as Rhein and Hagrid were about to leave the shop, Ollivander remembered something else.

"Oh right, I remember now, my ancestor studied this staff."

"The notes they left behind mentioned that although the staff was largely intact, it seemed to have been through a fierce battle, and there were still some damaged parts."

"My ancestors made some repairs to it, restoring most of its functions, but it is not completely restored due to the lack of some precious metal materials from ancient times."

"Otherwise, it should have some special magical effect."

Ollivander gave a wry smile.

"My ancestors could still find some ancient magical relics back then, but I don't even have a single ancient metal material now."

"Mr. Rhine, if you want to fully repair this staff, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Rhine nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Firstly, he thought it was good enough that the staff could be used normally, and he didn't have an obsessive-compulsive disorder that required everything to be perfect.

Secondly, he remembered that he had just received a talent for metallurgy and silver refining from Ollivander, which would allow him to purify metals.

Perhaps he could obtain some of those ancient metal materials that have become extinct through this talent.

But that's a story for another time.

For Rhine, obtaining a wand that perfectly suited him was enough.
