“Madman!”
Opening the latest issue of the newspaper, Grigovitch muttered subconsciously after seeing the news on the front page.
Someone died again.
Every few days in recent days, Grogovic can see information that someone has been killed on the headlines of the news.
The murderers all point to one person.
The famous Lord Voldemort.
The Ministry of Magic in various countries was collectively blinded and did not dare to provoke this notorious demon.
After all, even Dumbledore was killed.
After the successive massacres, Grigovitch couldn't help but feel extremely lucky that he had agreed to Dumbledore's request and chose to believe in the seemingly ridiculous advice of the young master of prophecy.
“Life is pretty good now.”
Gregovich picked up the just-finished wand on the table, carefully wiped it clean with a clean cloth, and carefully placed it into a long box.
Although I feel less free than before, I can still do things I like to do.
Gregovich knew very well why the mysterious man was looking for him, and he also knew that he would definitely die if he fell into the hands of the mysterious man.
Losing some freedom is nothing at all, not to mention having a house elf to take care of his daily life.
"Mr. Grigovitch, Mr. Anderson will come to visit you at ten o'clock." The house elf reported to Grigovitch.
“It’s a rare thing that he actually has time to come and visit me, an old man.” Grigovitch put the box containing the wand into the wooden cabinet next to it, which contained the wand he made while hiding in the shelter.
Just when the wooden cabinet door was closed, green flames suddenly burst into flames in the fireplace, and a figure stepped out of the flames.
The young wizard patted his cloak, shook off the dust on his body, and then swept his fingers towards the ashes on the ground, letting a breeze sweep the ashes back into the fireplace.
"good afternoon."
He raised his head and smiled to greet the old man who was looking at him.
“What a rare visitor. I think you must have something important to do when you come to me.”
Gregorovich made a gesture to Albert to sit down and asked him straight to the point why Albert was here. Apparently he did not think that Albert came to visit him on a whim.
“Well, I just received some not-so-good news.”
Albert sat down opposite Grigovitch, glanced at the newspaper on the table, and said thank you to the house elf who brought the tea, and then began to tell the reason for his visit.
“You should have noticed that the mysterious man is frantically searching for you, and many people have suffered bad luck and lost their lives.” Albert took the newspaper and quickly read the headlines.
“Have you got the wand?”
Gregovich didn't care about this, but couldn't help but ask about another thing.
"Well, that wand is at my place." Albert said noncommittally: "Dumbledore gave it to me before he died."
“Can you…”
Gregovich has still not given up on cracking the secret of the wand.
“I didn’t bring it with me.” Albert said, spreading his hands.
“You’re not going to use it?”
Gregorovich was very surprised. He had owned that wand before, so he naturally knew what kind of power that wand had. This was why Gregorovich racked his brains to decipher, study and copy the properties of the Elder Wand. reason.
“I prefer my wand.” Albert shook the redwood wand and said, “It always brings me luck.”
“It’s just a rumor that redwood can bring good luck to the user. I think you should know better than anyone else.”
grunted Grigovitch.
"I prefer my wand anyway." Albert wiped his wand gently with a handkerchief.
"Okay, as long as you like it." Gregorovich did not hesitate and asked another matter, "Who was the **** thief who stole the wand in the first place?"
“Gellert Grindelwald.”
Albert sipped the black tea and said with a smile: "Didn't you guess it too?"
"I think so. Those who own the Elder Wand are usually extremely evil dark wizards. Apart from the famous Dark Lord, I think there is probably no one else." Grigovitch laughed at himself.
When Dumbledore came to visit, Gregovich recognized the wand at a glance, and even more clearly understood who the thief was.
Dumbledore?
Obviously impossible.
How did Dumbledore obtain the Elder Wand?
He probably got it from the **** thief back then, or someone else. After all, the Elder Wand changed hands so quickly that it had been a century since he had it stolen.
God knows how many times it changed hands during this period.
The most famous dark wizard Dumbledore defeated was Grindelwald.
The age is also consistent.
“Well, I am somewhat interested in wand making.” Albert said softly.
"You are really...greedy." Gregorovich looked at Albert again and asked curiously: "Are you also planning to become a wand maker? You have already achieved so many incredible achievements."
"I'm still young and I have to find something to do for myself, and Dumbledore is equally knowledgeable." Albert explained calmly.
"If I were you, I would delve into a certain field. Forget it, that's your own choice. Maybe genius is something that ordinary people can't guess." Grigovic seemed to have thought of something and laughed at himself: "I I can leave it to you, but I want to see the Elder Wand again."
“Are you still not going to give up?” Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why give up? I have been researching and making wands all my life. I have never seen a wand as powerful as the Elder Wand. You should be able to feel the power of that wand, right?" Gregorovich raised his hand to interrupt Albert. If he had special words, he continued: "I have studied the history of the Elder Wand. Its origin may be related to the story of the three brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Poem". This wand has been accompanied by a long and **** history. The original source points to the Peverell brothers, and I personally believe that Antioch Peverell, who made this wand, was a very powerful wandmaker."
"Since Antioch Peverell can make such a wand, I can, too." Grigovitch was very confident in his wand making.
"I can temporarily lend you the Elder Wand, but a contract is needed to guarantee this transaction, and you should know very well that even if I lend it to you, you will not be able to use it normally at all." Albert reminded .
"You are more cautious than I expected." Grigovitch muttered: "Although your request is a bit harsh for an old man like me, it is not a bad thing. After all, your opponent is the Dark Lord. I hope you can kill him."
With that said, Gregorovich picked up the wand and waved it lightly, and a wooden box flew out of the workshop and landed in front of the two of them.
Gregovich pushed the wooden box in front of Albert.
“The result of my lifelong research, I think you want this.”
“It’s the savior’s job to kill the mysterious man.” Albert corrected.
“Damn savior, when will I see that wand.”
“I will lend you the Elder Wand temporarily next time.”
Albert opened the wooden box and flipped through Grigovitch's notes.
“How good are you at making wands?” Grigovitch asked. “I have ready-made materials in my workshop. Would you mind showing me?”
“You won’t regret it.”
Albert did not intend to demonstrate to Grigovitch, but took out a bag and took out several wands from it and lined them up on the table one by one.
“This is the wand I made.” He made a gesture of invitation to Grigovitch.
“Snake wood.”
Gregorovitch waved lightly, and then opened the top of the wand for inspection. He looked up and asked Albert, "What kind of wand core is this?"
“The heart nerve of the basilisk.”
“What nerve?”
Grigovich suspected that he had heard wrongly.
“basilisk.”
“What the hell, can you still find that thing now? You must have killed a basilisk, right?” Grigovitch had no doubt that the guy in front of him had the ability to hunt the basilisk.
"Slytherin once had a basilisk... If you need it, I can give you some of the basilisk's heart nerves." Albert said generously.
“We can bring it together next time. By the way, does the basilisk have horns?”
"If you are referring to a slightly convex part of the skull, but I don't think that is a horn." Albert shook his head and said, "I have already used it."
“That’s one of the best wand cores.”
Gregorovich complained that Albert was wasting materials. "It is said that Slytherin's wand is made of basilisk horns and snake wood, and its power is also amazing."
“That’s a pity.” There was not much regret in Albert’s words.
"This wand is very suitable for using black magic." Grigovic waved it twice more, and after making his own judgment, he turned his attention to other wands.
"Unicorn horn, willow wood." When he checked the core of the wand, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, Bai Xianzhi, I found that you really like to make those kind of extreme wands."
“Therapists will love it.”
"That's true, but no one except a therapist would use such an extreme wand." Grigovitch picked up the wand made of mahogany and said, "The same goes for this one. I dare say that the core of the wand is definitely Kelpie mane.”
“Yes, this wand is very suitable for casting transformation spells.” Albert nodded.
"You admit that you are indeed good at making wands, but I dare say that you are not suitable to open a wand shop. Not many people will need such extreme wands, especially for wizards who have just entered the magic world. It is simply a waste. A terrible disaster," muttered Grigovitch, picking up the last wand.
"What's this?"
It was an ordinary wand, but when Gregorovich checked the core, he was shocked because he found that the core was actually some kind of metal.
"As you can see, it is a very rare metal. It is one of the legacies left to me by Mr. Flamel. It is said to be a by-product of the magic stone. It is very precious. There may be only the last small piece in the world. Yes, this is the most powerful wand I have ever made."
"I have never heard that metal can also be used as a wand core." Grigovitch felt that he had not seen it for a long time, but he was also very interested in it. "I have only heard that goblins can forge a very magical silver. device."
"The goblin's silverware repels dust and only absorbs things that can strengthen it." Albert reminded him, so he soaked the unicorn horn in a silver goblet made by the goblin, and used it to hold water that had a slight detoxification effect.
"I once thought about using the goblin's silverware and that piece of metal to make a wand that belongs to me. It's a pity that the goblin's silverware forging technology has been lost." Albert did have similar thoughts, and he used this wand It was brought to Gregorovich in the hope that the other party could use this piece of metal.
"What the hell, when did the wand maker become a metalsmith full-time?" Grigovitch waved the wand to feel its power. Indeed, as Albert said, this is a very powerful wand. "I want to study If you don’t mind leaving this thing with me, don’t you mind.”
"Oh, no problem." Albert nodded, "Just take it and study it. Just don't lose it."
"Remember to bring the Elder Wand next time, and if possible, help me get some goblin iron." Grigovitch began to chase people away.
