Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Merlin's ice silk underwear - as far as he knew, a piece of unicorn tail hair could only be sold for dozens of Galleons!

And if you convert Galleons into Muggle currency...

"..."

Ryan clearly realized that every child in the orphanage might be a hidden billionaire.

Especially Daisy, who caught the most Fridays. The rich girl could probably buy the entire Silver Lime Tree Welfare Home easily!

At this moment, Ollivander was still muttering.

"According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, each generation of Ollivander's wand makers needs to use a precious wand material as a gift when choosing their successor. I have been worrying about this for the past year... and now, I think this hair is very suitable."

As soon as these words came out.

Instead, Cedric was stunned.

After a while, he finally seemed to react and looked at Ollivander in disbelief and surprise.

"Mr. Ollivander?"

He realized what Ollivander meant.

He has been an apprentice in the shop of the master staff maker for two years.

So he also knew that he was actually the only apprentice in this store.

But now, Mr. Ollivander mentioned the successor.

The meaning is self-evident.

The master staff maker finally recognized him.

He is about to become the other party's true disciple and inherit the other party's true core skills of making sticks!

"You're amazing, Cedric... talented and passionate."

And Mr. Ollivander obviously had no intention of denying it.

"I told your father about you at the beginning of this year - the Ollivander family's skills cannot be cut off, and Shana really has no talent or interest in this area..."

Mr. Ollivander's expression remained serious.

"But don't be too happy too soon - if I find that you are not serious in learning how to make a wand..."

"I promise that won't happen!"

Cedric immediately nodded excitedly, almost swearing on Merlin.

"Congratulations, Sede."

At this moment, Ryan naturally congratulated Cedric.

Afterwards, he naturally agreed to Mr. Ollivander's request to buy his cat's fur - he did not mention giving it away for free, as that would have made it seem that Mr. Ollivander was not sincere in taking him in.

But even so, when I saw Mr. Ollivander solemnly handing Friday's cat hair to Cedric, and the latter said with a serious and touching face, "I will cherish it."

Ryan still almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

After Ollivander asked Cedric to spend at least three days a week here to formally learn how to make wands.

Ryan took the initiative to say goodbye and left Ollivander's Wand Shop.

But before leaving, he did not forget to ask Mr. Ollivander one last question.

"Regarding the Elder Wand... you've mentioned its maker more than once—so you believe it was indeed made by the God of Death? Does that god really exist? Do you know anything about him?"

This was a question Ryan cared about very much, even more than his own wand.

Because after experiencing the Resurrection Stone incident at the Gaunt Mansion, he had always suspected that his teachers might be fighting against the so-called 'God of Death' on the other side of the veil!

So of course he was eager to know the relevant information.

but...

"No, Ryan."

After hearing Ryan's question, Mr. Ollivander hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

"Gregorovitch and I do not believe that Death truly exists... In fact, we believe that the Elder Wand, while powerful and mysterious, still adheres to the essential laws of wandmaking."

"We tend to think it was created by a powerful wizard, using some extremely advanced magical powers related to the realms of [magic] and [death]."

"Even Gregorovitch believes that the maker of the Elder Wand is most likely its first owner, Antioch Peverell, the eldest of the three Peverell brothers. Because from what he knows, the three Peverell brothers are all legendary wizards with extremely powerful magical talents and powers!"

And obviously.

Ryan was surprised by Mr. Ollivander's answer.

However, he soon realized that this guess seemed to be correct.

Because according to the judgment of the two wand-making masters, Ollivander and Gregorovitch, if the four-color wand in his hand is completed, its power will not be inferior to the Elder Wand, and may even surpass it.

But if the maker of the Elder Wand is truly a god, then doesn't this mean that... the magical power of the Big Four is even stronger than that of the gods?

To be honest...even Ryan wouldn't have this level of confidence in his four teachers.

But if the maker of the Elder Wand is replaced by a powerful legendary wizard, then everything seems to make sense - the Big Four are certainly the best, even among legendary wizards.

And after asking this key question.

Ryan did not stay any longer and immediately left Ollivander's Wand Shop and returned to the Silver Lime Tree Welfare Home.

And for the next period of time, the peaceful life of summer vacation continued.

But Ryan has an additional must-do item every day - observing and experimenting with Friday's growth.

He began to try to supply more magic power to Friday and mix more magical plants with magical properties into his cat food.

The effect of this experiment was very significant - Friday's weight soared by 9 kilograms in less than a month, and he walked like a gas tank.

When Ryan took it to Diagon Alley one time, he heard a little wizard curiously ask his father, "Dad, dad, that white pig is so cute, what breed is it?"

He decided to abandon the experiment and instead give Friday a weight loss plan.

At the same time, he also came to the conclusion that Friday did grow by relying on magic power, but the speed of absorbing magic power was not affected by external magic power.

Its growth seems to be closer to the curve of powerful magical creatures such as fire dragons.

A suitable magical environment and sufficient food will make it stronger, but will not really affect the time it takes to mature.

In addition to Friday, Ryan has recently begun to pay attention to a major event happening in the wizarding world.

That was the news that the Daily Prophet had been following up on recently and had been on the front page.

The content of this report is simple.

Last Sunday, a group of wizards gathered beneath Nurmengard Castle in Austria.

They are generally very old, and most of them are over 80 years old.

These white-haired wizards gathered under the castle - they did not hide their faces, and each of them had a white ribbon tied around their shoulders to symbolize commemoration of the dead.

Through the photos, Ryan saw the eyes of those old wizards.

Their eyes were sad and determined.

Just the look in their eyes was enough to make Ryan sure that these wizards had not been instigated or bewitched.

They gathered under the castle based on their own will and common aspirations.

Above the photo, Ryan could also see Aurors from the International Confederation of Wizards flying among the clouds, seemingly monitoring the crowd below.

But the wizards didn't react at all.

They simply raised their wands under the leadership of an old witch.

The magic flew high into the sky and a sign appeared.

There is a circle in the middle of the triangle, and a vertical line runs through the middle of the two.

That is the symbol of the 'Deathly Hallows', and also the symbol of the 'Wiccan Party' that was famous decades ago.

In that specially made photo, all the old wizards said a word while creating the symbol.

Ryan certainly couldn't hear the words, but he knew what they meant.

“For the Greater Good!”

And below, a huge, bold, black caption explains the content of the photo.

[Saints gather in Nurmengard, the International Confederation of Wizards issues a red alert]

That's right.

Saint - this is a title that has long been forgotten by the times.

They are the supporters and servants of the first Dark Lord Grindelwald. Of course, Grindelwald never calls them that.

He called them 'comrades with common ideals'.

In the past, they were a shadow that shrouded the entire magical world.

After Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in Nurmengard Castle.

They also hid themselves.

And obviously.

With the recent death of Grindelwald, the Saints have reappeared.

"The wizarding world sounds much more chaotic than ours."

While Ryan was reading the newspaper, Ms. Pera, who was watching curiously, couldn't help but mutter.

"Didn't you mention earlier that there was a terrorist named Tom? And these 'saints' this time, that doesn't sound good."

"Oh, it is."

Ryan smiled.

"But from what I know, Grindelwald is clearly different from Tom—and his followers only gathered to pay their respects to him before dispersing. There hasn't been any follow-up action yet..."

he muttered.

"And from what I understand, when Grindelwald fell, he didn't seem to be truly defeated. He may have lost to Dumbledore in the duel, but his power was still there, and he actually had a chance to make a comeback."

"He chose to be imprisoned... Logically, this means he and his followers should not take any retaliatory actions."
