Chapter 20: Ten times the damage? This kid is pretty polite!
At this moment, not only Professor McGonagall was full of anticipation, but Ciel was no exception.
Magic wands, even in Ciel's previous life, were something that would excite magic lovers when talked about.
Many Harry Potter fans on the Internet will go to some mysterious fan-made websites to check what kind of wand is suitable for them.
Some people even go so far as to order a magic wand specifically for their needs online to fulfill their fantasy of waving a wand and casting magic.
In his previous life, Ciel was not so enthusiastic about this, but in this life, magic wands really exist, and the blessing they bring to wizards is unparalleled.
It is difficult for a wizard to even cast spells without a wand.
Even though some highly skilled wizards are able to cast spells without a wand, the effect is still far different from using a wand.
For example, Charles, in fact, through repeated deductions of the Luminescent Charm and the Expulsive Charm, his understanding of these two spells has already reached an unprecedented level.
It was not impossible for Ciel to cast these two spells without a wand.
But even for a low-level spell like the Luminescent Charm, the burden of casting it wandless is enormous.
With Ciel's current magic power, it is only enough to light up a little firefly-like light on his fingertips, and the effect is almost zero.
In fact, let alone Charles, even for wizards of the level of Dumbledore and Voldemort, the wand is almost irreplaceable.
They have the ability to cast spells without a wand, but rarely use it, probably because it consumes too much energy and has little effect.
Therefore, a magic wand that completely belongs to him is the most important thing to Ciel at the moment.
Following Professor McGonagall, Ciel soon arrived at the only wand shop in Diagon Alley.
The shop was small and shabby, with a solitary wand sitting on a faded purple cushion in the window.
The peeling gold sign above the door read: "Olivanders, Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC".
Walking into the store, there was nothing but a bench, and thousands of narrow boxes containing wands were stacked almost to the ceiling.
Professor McGonagall greeted him and an old wizard came out.
This person is naturally Ollivander, one of the three greatest wand makers in Europe.
When he saw Ciel and Professor McGonagall, Ollivander, who had experienced countless school starts, gave a formulaic enthusiastic smile.
"Ahaha, another little wizard comes to buy a wand."
"Trust me, Ollivander's wand will never let you down..."
Before he could finish his words, Professor McGonagall interrupted Ollivander's opening remarks, which he had repeated hundreds of times.
"Mr. Ollivander, this is Ciel."
"Principal Dumbledore asked me to tell you that Charles' talent is unexpected, even beyond his imagination."
"He said you should be prepared to be given a hard time. This time might be even harder than when you chose the wand for him."
Hearing this, Ollivander's voice choked and a look of surprise was clearly revealed on his face.
He had made hundreds of wands in his life, but only a few of them could follow famous wizards.
Dumbledore alone made Ollivander famous and established his position as the best wand maker in Britain.
Before this, there were still a few wand makers in the UK who wanted to compete with Ollivander.
But after Dumbledore showed his talent that shocked the wizarding world, Ollivander only needed one sentence to end the wand-making competition that once required a long competition.
"What are you, Dumbledore?"
And now, a little wizard who was praised as a genius by Dumbledore appeared in front of him?
After being surprised, Ollivander felt excited.
In his opinion, this year is really his lucky year.
Before the savior Harry Potter arrived, such a talented little wizard had already arrived.
I believe that after this, the reputation of Ollivander's Wand Shop will become even more unshakable.
What the hell is a German Gregorovitch? How dare he be called Ollivander?
Immediately, Ollivander stood up and walked towards Ciel excitedly, enthusiastically measuring Ciel's arm data and various habits.
After Ciel answered his questions one by one, Ollivander fell into excited contemplation, muttering from time to time, as if thinking about what type of wand would be more suitable for Ciel. Ciel then spoke.
"Mr. Ollivander, my situation is somewhat special, so I have special requirements for the wand."
"I can tolerate any power of the wand, but I require it to have strong tolerance and be able to withstand the most powerful or extreme magic imaginable."
"I mean, even if light comparable to the sun bursts out from the tip of the wand, it must be able to withstand it perfectly."
"..."
Before Ciel could finish his words, Ollivander smiled and waved his hand.
"Mr. Ciel, perhaps you don't quite understand how the Ollivander family selects wands for wizards."
"We are not here according to the wizard's request, but we match the appropriate wand to the wizard's personality and spirit based on the experience accumulated over countless years. This has been verified in countless wizards. Please trust my professionalism."
"As for whether the wand can't withstand the power of the spell? I can guarantee that this will never happen!"
Then, Ollivander took out several wand boxes, took out a beech wand with a dragon's heartstring as the core and handed it to Charles.
"Here, try this one."
Xia paused and didn't reach out to take it immediately.
After all, the wand he wanted should at least be able to withstand the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse, his most powerful spell at the moment.
The wand I got from Dark before cracked after just one use, and it broke after barely releasing a laser spell.
Ciel was very skeptical whether the wand Ollivander took out could withstand it.
He confirmed with Ollivander again.
"Mr. Ollivander, are you sure it can withstand enough?"
"What if it breaks later? You won't ask me to pay for it, right?"
A somewhat ridiculous smile appeared on Ollivander's face.
He suddenly thought Charles was quite cute.
When Ciel becomes famous in history, maybe I can use today's conversation as an interesting story.
Then, Ollivander made a gesture of invitation and said confidently.
"If your wand breaks, I'll give you ten for each one you break."
"Believe me, Mr. Ciel, no one knows wands better than me!"
Ciel was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the wand in front of him and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Just by taking a few puffs of the Elder Wand, he had earned a lot of deduction points.
These ordinary wands are certainly not as good as the old wand, but they are also rare magical items.
It is even likely to be the most expensive item most wizards have ever bought in their lives.
Both the rod body and the rod core are made of magical materials.
If you eat it, the deduction points you can get will probably be much more than the magic meal at St. Mungo's Hospital.
Then Charles gave an embarrassed smile.
"Mr. Ollivander, thank you very much."
Ollivander froze there.
"???"
"This child... is quite polite?"
