Chapter 78 Wand making skills acquired
"George, from today on, you are my student of Ollivander, and I will definitely do my best to train you to be a master staff maker like me!"
In the wand shop, Ollivander hugged the box of unicorn tail hairs tightly with trembling hands, and vowed to George.
"Don't be too excited, I believe you."
George looked at the bloodshot look in the old Ollivander's eyes at this moment, and was deeply afraid that the old man would accidentally lose his eyes because he was too excited.
For a wizard like Ollivander who has been studying wands almost all his life, giving him 8,000 unicorn tail hairs is just like a martial arts idiot giving him 8,000 top-level martial arts secrets, and a pervert giving him Eight thousand top beauties.
Not to mention asking him to teach you the stick-making skills, even if you kneel down and call you daddy, he won't hesitate.
"Okay, okay, when do you want to start learning?"
Ollivander managed to calm down his overly excited emotions, and then asked.
With so many top-notch wand cores, maybe before he dies, he can really develop the most powerful wand comparable to the legendary Elder Wand, and become a legend in the wizarding world and a legend in the wand-making world.
"Now, if possible."
George didn't want to waste time. The sooner he learned to make wands, the sooner his body and another clone would have wands, and their strength would be greatly increased.
Touching the box of unicorn tail hair in his hand, Ollivander didn't hesitate at all. He got up and hung up the "Closed" sign at the door, then took George to the backyard.
Since George wants to learn now, he will teach now.
So George began a happy holiday cane-making journey.
Even on Christmas Day, he did not let Ollivander go, dragging him until it was dark before returning to the potion shop.
But on the morning of Christmas Day, he still took some time to pick out various gifts for Page to give away.
Among them were Tonks and her Auror colleagues, Slytherin classmates in the same grade, friends such as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Ginny, and every professor in the school.
Even Dumbledore sent a copy.
Of course, they are not expensive things. Although he is not short of money, gifts cannot be too expensive, otherwise it will not be a favor and will become a burden.
Because the other party also wants to return the gift.
In this way, the time lasted until the day before the end of the Christmas holiday.
"This one is very good. It can be regarded as a qualified wand. Your wand-making talent is very good, but don't be proud. You should continue to practice after returning to school."
Ollivander looked at the wand in his hand, which was made with a troll beard as the core and a pine trunk as the wand wood, and nodded with great satisfaction.
At first, he just wanted to teach George casually.
Wand making is not an easy craft to learn. Basic material knowledge, wand core processing, wand wood polishing, etc., can't be mastered in just a few months.
But what I didn't expect was that George had a very high talent for wand making.
First of all, the complex basic knowledge, many of which he understood as soon as he explained it to the other party. Secondly, he had a strong hands-on ability and rarely made mistakes. In just half a month, he successfully made a qualified wand.
Although there are still some flaws, they are not very important and can be sold normally if hung in the store.
"Thank you for your guidance during this period. I will come back to you for advice after the summer vacation."
George said goodbye to Ollivander politely, then opened the door and left the wand shop.
The reason why he can learn to make wands so quickly is not because of his talent for making wands, but mainly because he has three brains to learn together and a physical fitness that is far beyond that of a normal wizard.
In addition, I had already read a lot of magic books about wand making in school, so I had a certain foundation.
"This kid, if he studies wand making in the future, he won't be any worse than me."
Looking at George's disappearing back, Ollivander sighed again.
Meanwhile, the Fairy Tail Guild.
George flew out of the library and landed in the guild hall. He glanced around the hall and asked Mirajane at the bar:
"Did you see Natsu?"
It's so easy to grow trees containing magic in this magical world. You can find a few suitable trees by flying around in the big forest behind the guild.
If you want to be more refined, you can spend a little more money and go to a magic store to look for it.
With the stick wood, the next step is the stick core.
In fact, it is not difficult to make a wand core. There are many magical creatures in this world, and the wizards of Fairy Tail often take on some crusade missions to defeat some magical creatures that attack towns.
It will not be difficult to ask them to bring some fur or horns for themselves when the time comes.
No matter how bad it is, he is a magic cat himself. He can barely use a piece of his own hair as a wand core, but the effect will definitely not be very good.
He came to Natsu because he heard that Natsu was raised by a fire dragon, could use dragon-slaying magic, and had a physique close to that of a fire dragon. He wanted to see if his hair could be used as a wand core.
According to the history books of this world, dragons are the most powerful magical creatures in this world. If Natsu's hair had even one percent of the effect of dragons, it would be stronger than most magical creatures.
So he wanted to give it a try.
"Tell me Natsu, he accepted a mission to find a book and teamed up with Lucy to do the mission."
Mirajane replied gently.
Levy, who was standing on the task bulletin board looking for tasks, ran over quickly after hearing the words.
"Is it the 200,000 book search task? I was still hesitating whether to take it, but Natsu got it first."
The 200,000 book search task is relatively less dangerous, but it is a waste of time. When the time comes, the guild will divide it into teams of three and divide it equally, so each person will not get much.
Minus the round-trip travel expenses, food and lodging, and the consumption of some magic props that may appear, it will be even less.
So she had been hesitating whether to take it before.
"Maybe you are right not to take it, Levy, the task client has adjusted the 200,000 reward to 2 million."
At this time, President Makarov jumped down from the second floor and landed on the bar.
"What, a 2 million reward for finding a book, this is almost the same as the reward for a large-scale crusade task!"
The wizards in the guild heard the president's words and immediately started to discuss.
Many wizards regretted not taking the book search task and missed the 2 million reward in vain.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Natsu was gone, and George returned to the library again, but he also felt that it was right for Levi not to accept the task.
High rewards mean high risks, and it is definitely not just a simple book-finding task.
And the strength of Levi's team, to be honest, is really not good enough.
Levi's three-dimensional text magic has many effects, but the attack power of each one is too low. The most important thing is that she herself is not good at fighting and has some problems with her mentality.
Her two teammates are not as strong as her.
To be honest, even George, who doesn't have a wand yet, is not his opponent if he takes it seriously.
