Chapter 198 The Broken Wand
"Broken wand?" Ron asked with some doubts, "I still have that wand on me, why are you asking?"
"What are you going to do with that wand?" Allen had always wanted to find a wand to study.
But every wand bought in Ollivander's shop was actually registered with the Ministry of Magic, so he couldn't buy a wand for research without a valid reason.
So Ron's old wand would be a good subject to study.
"Deal with it? Go back and throw it in my drawer, what else can I do with it? That wand did me a bad enough job last school year." Ron said with lingering fear.
Allen knew that he asked Ron directly for the old wand, and Ron would certainly not refuse, but he didn't want to owe favors.
"I want to introduce you to a new business in our store-recycling of used wands!" Allen suddenly showed a big smile.
Ron was indeed aroused, "How about recycling?"
"Give me your old wand, and I'll evaluate it." Allen said solemnly.
Ron happily took out the old wand and set it on the counter.
Allen picked it up pretendingly and observed it.
The wand is very old, and many places have been worn smooth. The head of the wand has been worn so that even the unicorn hair is exposed. It looks like it has been used for a long time. There is a thick punch of black magic tape stuck in the middle of the wand. , making the whole wand look very discordant.
Allen carefully tore off the magic tape, and saw that the wand was broken in the middle, and the two wands were connected by unicorn hair.
If it hadn't been for seeing Ron use it for a whole year last year, Elle would have thought the wand was completely broken.
However, judging from Ron's usage last year, most of the functions of this wand are still normal.
Although he had already made a decision in his heart, in order to dispel Ron's doubts, Alan took out his tools and carefully tested it for a while.
"I'm going to use 10 Gold Galleons to recycle this wand." Allen gave his offer.
"Ah?! So high!" Ron looked at Alan in surprise, "It only cost me 7 Galleons to buy a new one!"
"Every Hogwarts student gets a discount for their first wand. Buying the first wand will cost 7 Galleons, and the Ministry of Magic will pay for the rest."
"On the market, a single unicorn hair costs 10 Galleons, and a wand devoted to the efforts of a master wand maker must not only be worth 7 Galleons." Allen patiently explained to Ron .
Ron was obviously taken aback, this was the first time he had heard this knowledge.
"What's the normal selling price of that wand?" Ron suddenly became very curious.
"49 Galleons." Allen said expressionlessly.
Ron took a breath when he heard that, this is indeed a lot of money.
"Your wand is too old, and the wand is not well preserved after it is broken. The magic power of the unicorn hair inside has lost a lot, so I can only get 10 gold Galleons."
Ron nodded hurriedly. He didn't expect a useless old wand to sell for so much money. This price has far exceeded his psychological expectations. You must know that his pocket money for a year usually doesn't add up to 10 gold. Galleon.
So they happily struck a deal.
Ron looked at the Gold Gallon in his hand with the eyes of a lover.
"After receiving this one from you, the business of our store will be over." Allen said with a light cough.
He suddenly remembered that he found the ancient rune notebook at Ron's house last year. After all, the Weasley family is a pure-blood family with a long history, and there should still be some family background. He couldn't afford to pay for a pile of discarded wands to be recycled.
That's why he said this on purpose, just to plug this loophole.
Ron sighed in disappointment, but he was happy to get that price for an old wand.
Then he left the wand shop to join his family.
When leaving, he also told Allen not to forget to call Harry.
Allen watched Ron's red hair disappear into the crowd in Diagon Alley, and then carefully put away the old wand on the counter with an empty wand box.
He was not in a hurry to study the wand, he had plenty of time at night.
Then he counted out 10 Galleons from his wallet and put them into the cash box under the counter. Just to make it sound like that, those 10 Galleons were taken out of the cash box.
After finishing all this, Allen went to inspect the room again, and found that Mr. Ollivander hadn't had breakfast yet, and the door of the miniature carving room was still closed.
He sighed and returned to his post, and dozed off with ease.
In the dead of night, Allen carefully took out the box containing the broken wand, and carefully took out the wand inside.
The wand should be the most important invention of wizards in the past thousands of years, and it is also an indispensable and important tool for modern wizards.
After being in the wand shop for so long, it is impossible for Allen not to be curious about the secrets of the wand, but it is not good for him to ask Mr. Ollivander directly about this kind of thing, because it is the craftsmanship of others after all.
That's why he made the bad decision to get a wand in question and study it.
Allen felt that researching the secret of the wand would help him better understand the secrets of magic in this world.
Allen picked up the old wand and looked at it carefully. The surface of the wand was very smooth, and there were no traces of artificial carving.
He went on to observe the fracture of the wand, but still found no traces of carving.
The reason why he is so persistent in looking for traces of engraving is because there are materials room, miniature engraving room, final assembly room, wand testing room and storage room in the store. Allen understands what the other rooms are for, but what is the micro engraving room for? But can't imagine it.
But the miniature sculpture room is the room where Mr. Ollivander stays the longest every day.
So Allen thinks that the secret of the wand should be on the micro-engraved things.
But reality gave him a slap in the face.
Allen was not discouraged by this at all. He continued to observe the wand carefully, but he really found something.
He discovered that the wand was actually hollow, and the hollow seemed to accommodate the core of the wand.
The diameter of this hollow is extremely small. If the wand hadn't been broken in the middle, Allen wouldn't have been able to find this clue at all.
Carefully following the grain of the wood where the break in the wand had been, he widened the break a little further.
Now he finally discovered that the hollow inner wall of the wand seemed not smooth, and there seemed to be something carved on it.
But the carved thing was so small that he couldn't see what was carved on it.
This is when he suddenly remembered the expansion spell he learned last year, which seems to be very suitable for this scene.
So he cast several swelling spells on the broken wand, which became as thick as a small tree trunk.
Allen finally saw the engravings on the inner wall of the wand.
It seems to be some ancient runes.
Still looking for votes!
