I was expelled from Hogwarts

Chapter 460 The Relic of the God of Death

Whether the wand chooses the wizard or the wizard chooses the wand is a classic topic in wandology.

Since the birth of the wand as a tool, it has been debated by wand makers, and both sides hold their own opinions, forming a debate for thousands of years.

Just like sweet and salty tofu brains, they always regard each other as heretics.

Gregorovich is adamant that wizards choose wands.

"A wand is simply a sentient magical item through which a wizard can channel his own magical powers to focus effects for more complex purposes."

Grigovich's eyes were piercing, and his words were vivid:

"It's like a pair of shoes. After wearing it, it can protect your feet and make you walk faster, more stable and safer, but it will never be the shoes that choose the feet, only the feet choose the shoes."

The old man paused, and continued: "If it is true that the wand chooses wizards, for those who are not chosen by it, they should not be able to release magic when using the wand."

"But the fact is that wizards can use any wand..." Grigovich pointed to the wand on the wall shelf with his right hand, and twirled his fingers:

"You can choose one at will, and you can release magic, and which one you choose depends on the wizard himself... This is the wizard's choice of wand."

"Why do some wands feel as if they are used like arms and fingers, while others are stagnant when releasing magic?" Rove wondered again.

"The problem of running-in." Grigovich explained patiently:
"Shoes that are about the same size as your foot are definitely more comfortable to wear than shoes that are too different.

The same goes for wands.

Some wands are similar to the wizard's personality and are easy to use for the first time;

The job of the wand shop is to choose the most suitable wand for customers among the many wands. "

The old man stood up, paced slowly and said:
"But even so, the chosen wands cannot perfectly fit the wizard, after all, these wands are pre-made finished products.

It's like a standard-sized dress, no matter how close to your size, will never fit better than a tailor-made dress. "

Rove thought about it.

"However, the wand itself is learning." Grigovich said: "It will continue to learn from the wizard until it reaches the closest bond with the wizard."

"So, when I sell wands, I always give priority to power. As for the issue of running-in, it's almost enough, and I won't be so penny-pinching like Ollivander."

"What does the power of the wand have to do with it?" Rove asked curiously.

"Wood and core." Grigovich said succinctly:
"The same wizard uses a fire dragon heart nerve wand and a unicorn hair wand with the same degree of grinding. The magic cast by the former is significantly stronger than the latter.

Therefore, the staff master always tends to use those powerful magical creatures. "

"Where's the Elder Wand?" Rove asked suddenly, "Why is it so special and powerful?"

Hearing the word "The Elder Wand", the old man was obviously very surprised. He looked at the young man hesitantly, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"Son, do you know the Elder Wand too?"

Rove nodded and said, "The Elder Wand, the Death Rod, and the Fate Rod, they have appeared under different names over the centuries, and everyone knows them."

"More people think it's just a nonsense legend." Grigovich sighed softly:
"But the Elder Wand is completely traceable in history. Of course there will be interruptions in the middle, long interruptions. It will disappear from people's view, temporarily lost or hidden, but it will always reappear."

"It also has certain identifiable characteristics, which will be recognized by those who have studied wandology. There are some written records, some of which are very cryptic. I have studied them specifically, and those records have a certain degree of authenticity."

Grigovich paused for a moment, and said slowly:
"According to those records, the Elder Wand is as learning as any other wand. But the Elder Wand's learning ability is difficult to match even the most eminent wizard."

"Every one of its masters is a very powerful wizard. Over the long years, it has followed those wizards and accumulated countless knowledge, thus becoming more and more powerful."

"In the inheritance of the Elder Wand, it is often accompanied by killing, and it has learned a wealth of experience in battle.

It doesn't even need the master's order, it can cast the most appropriate magic to fight against the enemy. "

"The Elder Wand can cast magic by itself?" Rove asked in surprise.

"That's right." Gregorovich said seriously:
"I have never found such a self-conscious wand on any other wand.

It's like a powerful wizard... with rich knowledge of magic and powerful combat experience, so that most people are not its opponents.

This is why the Elder Wand is called the 'Wand that Never Loses'. "

"Grandpa, can't you make a similar wand with your ability?" Karin asked.

"It can't be made." Grigovich shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"The wood of the Elder Wand is elderberry, with a core of thestral tail feathers. I have used this combination before, but it is no stronger than other wands."

"The strength of the Elder Wand has nothing to do with the material itself, but a problem with the forging process." Grigovich sighed.

"Its maker, Antioch Peverell, probably mastered a skill that is not mastered by existing staff makers, just like the forging of weapons by goblins."

"Is it true that in the story of the three brothers, Antioch Peverell was helped by the god of death?" Karin guessed.

"It may not be impossible." Grigovich said solemnly:
"Who can be sure that the god of death really does not exist? The pursuit of those saints is so difficult that it is really just a vain?"

Rove and Karin looked at each other, and the girl said, "Grandpa, do you know something? Tell us carefully."

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?" Grigovich looked at his granddaughter and asked with a smile:
"I used to talk to you about the Elder Wand and the Deathly Hallows, and you always got impatient and thought I was telling a story."

Karin explained: "Grandpa, we met saints on the road, so we wanted to know more about Deathly Hallows and Grim Reaper."

The girl briefly described what happened on the road, but of course, she concealed the matter of her smuggling.

"The saints are going to attack the floating dragon boat?" Grigovich narrowed his eyes, puzzled and said:

"It's strange, they are only interested in the Deathly Hallows, and never participate in this kind of terrorist attack."

"Grandpa, how do you know they were never involved in this kind of attack?" Karin asked.

"The Elder Wand is a very attractive artifact for those of us who study wands." Grigorovich sighed:
"In order to find it, I also joined the saints and rose to a very high level, so I know the organization of the saints very well."

"You ask whether the god of death exists... in the hands of the saints, there is an immortal corpse, which is said to be the relic of the god of death."
