People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?
Chapter 11 Ancient Staff
Hearing Rhine's words, Ollivander's eyes widened.
"Not?
Isn't this request a bit too unconventional?
Modern wizards all want wands that are lighter, more comfortable, easier to carry, and quicker to draw.
As for whether the wand will be damaged?
As long as you don't use the wand to hit people, or like the Weasleys, pass a single wand down to two brothers, it's definitely a low-probability event.
Rhine, however, wants a wand that goes completely against the current trend, even one that can be used to hit people?
"This kind of wand is not the main focus of our Ollivander family."
Ollivander said in a muffled voice.
Hagrid was a little disappointed to hear that.
But Rhine's eyes lit up.
"It's not the main focus, but you didn't say you don't have such a wand."
Ollivander paused, then sighed.
"I was originally planning to keep you in suspense, but today's young wizards are too clever."
"Alright, I do have a wand here with a very, very long history, well, it doesn't seem right to call it a wand, a more appropriate term would be a staff."
"This thing is a collectible of our Ollivander family, a staff that is far older than the founding of Hogwarts, even older than Merlin."
Then, Ollivander went through a small door behind the counter and entered the vault.
After rummaging for a long time, he finally found a long, dusty box.
The box alone was more than a meter long.
And its weight was also quite exaggerated. Ollivander couldn't even take it out himself, so he had to use a levitation charm to bring it to the counter.
When the box was opened, what was revealed in front of Rhine was a staff made entirely of metal, engraved with various mysterious patterns.
Ollivander's cheeks twitched.
"Mr. Rhine, this is what you want."
"But I must advise you, this thing weighs at least several pounds, and it is a staff used by wizards for combat in very ancient times."
"You should know that wizards at that time didn't have many spells. They used more hand-to-hand combat than spellcasting, so this staff had its place."
"But magic has developed to the present day, wizards no longer need hand-to-hand combat, and this kind of sluggish, heavy, and difficult-to-carry staff has long been eliminated by history."
"Even though its power, whether in hand-to-hand combat or magic, is much stronger than today's wands, I'm afraid only a physique like Hagrid's can lift it."
"Not to mention spellcasting gestures, if you choose it, completing the Hogwarts courses will be a huge problem."
Rhine looked at the staff in front of him, but a fiery color flashed in his eyes.
Who could refuse a round, straight stick with mysterious patterns?
Then, Rhine reached out and grasped the heavy staff.
Amidst Ollivander's repeated warnings, which quickly turned into a life-questioning gaze, Rhine easily lifted the staff.
The weight of the entire metal staff, weighing dozens of pounds, would be almost unbearable for all wizards in the magical world, but for Rhine, who possessed bronze skin and iron bones, the feel was just right.
The only thing that made Rhine feel a little dissatisfied was that the staff was still a bit too long for his current height.
After all, he was only eleven years old and not fully developed yet. The staff was almost taller than him, making it troublesome to wield.
"It would be great if it could be a little shorter."
Rhine sighed.
And the next moment, a section of the pattern on the staff seemed to understand Rhine's words.
The entire staff began to shorten. Although the weight remained the same, and even after shortening, it was still much longer than ordinary wands, it was now able to be wielded like a short staff for Rhine.
Rhine's gaze became even more fervent.
"Damn, it can even change length?
He already has bronze skin and iron bones, who could refuse a wish-fulfilling golden cudgel?
"That's it!"
Rhine chose this ancient staff without the slightest hesitation.
Ollivander maintained a life-questioning expression throughout, even blinking at Hagrid, with a thought arising in his mind.
"Is this little wizard related to Hagrid? Could he be Hagrid's illegitimate son, also possessing mixed-blood giant blood?
Otherwise, which eleven-year-old wizard could casually lift a staff weighing dozens of pounds?
At the same time, he looked at the ancient staff changing length at will in Rhine's hand, and a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes.
This ancient staff had also been studied in the Ollivander family, but as early as a thousand years ago, the Ollivander family had lost interest in it, purely treating it as a collectible at the bottom of the box.
He also didn't expect that Rhine could make it exhibit such characteristics.
Ollivander, who always believed in the mutual attraction between wand and owner, couldn't help but have thoughts like "Perhaps this is a special kind of fate".
This topic further aroused his interest.
The newest novel is first published here!
"Alright, Mr. Rhine, since you insist, I think this staff is indeed very suitable for you."
Ollivander said cautiously.
"I won't charge you for the money."
"But I hope you can regularly communicate with me about your experience using this staff, and also help me complete some wand studies."
Rhine naturally agreed to this.
He also coveted Ollivander's connections as the "Sect Master of Artifact Refining".
Going a step further to become close friends, he could obtain the Fire Control Wishful talent.
Whether it was alchemy, potions, or combat, this talent could probably exert amazing effects, and Rhine couldn't possibly miss it.
Ollivander asking him for help was exactly what Rhine wanted.
Finally, as Rhine and Hagrid were about to leave the store, Ollivander remembered something else.
"Oh, right, I remembered, my ancestors studied this staff."
"Their notes mentioned that although this staff is generally intact, it seemed to have experienced a fierce battle back then, and there were still some damaged areas."
"My ancestors made some repairs to it, restoring most of its functions, but due to the lack of some precious metal materials from ancient times, it was still not fully repaired."
"Otherwise, it should still have a special magical effect."
Ollivander smiled wryly.
"My ancestors could still find some ancient magic ruins at that time, but now I don't even have a trace of ancient metal materials."
"Mr. Rhine, if you want to completely repair this staff, you have to find a way yourself."
Rhine nodded, not feeling anything.
Firstly, it was good enough for him that the staff could be used normally. He didn't have the compulsion to have everything be perfect.
Secondly, he thought of the talent for metallurgical silver refining that he had just obtained from Ollivander, which could allow him to purify metals.
Perhaps he could obtain some of those extinct ancient metal materials through this talent.
But in any case, that was all in the future.
For Rhine, it was enough to have obtained a wand that was perfectly suited to him.
