Chapter 238: Horned Camel Mountain Pear
The core of the wand chosen by Schelling is the heartstring of a Graphorn.
Graphorns are dangerous and aggressive magical creatures that can be found in mountainous areas across Europe. Graphorns are large, with ridged backs, two very sharp golden horns on their heads, and walk on large four-toed feet.
Mountain trolls occasionally ride on Graphorns, which looks like they have tamed them, but in fact, if you look carefully, it is not uncommon to see scars on trolls caused by Graphorns, and even trolls killed by Graphorns are not uncommon.
The thick gray-purple skin of Graphorns is the most resistant to magic among many magical animals, and its defense alone is stronger than that of dragons, basilisks, and pentads.
The wand that Schelling chose is naturally rowan wood, which is famous for its defense. In fact, all members of the Bones family will be chosen by rowan wood without exception at the Ollivander family, and the wand Susan is holding now is no exception.
However, there are many types of rowan wood. Chapter 80 of Volume 4 of this book also mentioned that there is a very rare type of rowan wood that grows on other rowan woods, that is, "flying rowan wood".
Wands made of this wood are naturally suitable for performing defensive magic. It is said that this type of wand is the only one in the world that can match the power of the elder wand - one of them is good at attack and the other is good at defense, which are two extremes in the field of wandology.
The raw materials are not difficult to obtain.
Although the horned camel is rare, it is not difficult for Sister Gulana of the Medieval Wizard Union. It was just a matter of a word from Sherin, and she quickly got him a heartstring.
The real trouble is that in order to trigger the maximum power of the horned camel heartstring, it still needs a lot of special processing.
Like all magical animals with bad tempers, the raw materials on them will have the same problem when used as wand cores, that is, they are very sensitive and changeable, and the effect is very unstable. This is actually why Mr. Ollivander gave up his ancestral craftsmanship and focused on making wands with only three cores: dragon heartstring, phoenix tail feather, and unicorn tail hair. It's not that the power of other cores is not enough, but the effects of other cores are far less stable than these three.
There are two ways to deal with this situation.
The first is to use the powerful magic of the wizard to directly suppress it and make it surrender. Let's not talk about whether Susan can do it with her magic level (it must be Susan, Xie Lin can't do it for her). If she does this, the wand core will lose its original vitality and spirituality. Can a magic beast that has lost its animal nature and "admitted" still be considered a magic beast?
The second method is to gain its recognition. This method is much more difficult than the first method, but it can avoid the cost of stripping the vitality and spirituality of the raw materials, which is very worthwhile in Xie Lin's opinion.
Xie Lin used soul magic to nourish the residual soul of the horned camel beast on the heartstring, and then used black magic to extract the residual soul from the heartstring, and injected it into Susan's body with the soul secret technique of the Black family, intertwining with Susan's soul. This method does have some risks. If the soul of the horned camel beast becomes evil, it may hurt Susan's soul.
But Susan was determined to ask Xie Lin to do so. She was already the weakest of the six girls, and she didn't want to drag everyone down.
Xie Lin thought about it again and again and agreed to her request. Since Susan joined the Sleeping Dragon Society and became a core cadre of the Sleeping Dragon Society, her determination, her will, and her perseverance have been obvious to all. It can almost be said that in order to enhance her strength, she has paid the most among all people.
Of course, what Xie Lin didn't tell her was that he secretly gave her an insurance. Once Susan was in danger of soul damage, the curse that Xie Lin buried in the soul of the horned camel beast would automatically start and wipe it out.
In the end, Susan did not disappoint Xie Lin, and Xie Lin's prepared back-up plan was not used. Susan relied on her willpower to compete with the remnant soul of the horned camel beast for a full seven days, and finally made the remnant soul of the horned camel beast recognize Susan.
When Susan touched the heartstring, the magic attached to the heartstring immediately resonated with Susan. The howl of the horned camel beast was faintly heard in the void, and a circular airflow burst out from Susan to the surroundings. Even with Xie Lin's physical fitness, he couldn't help but take a few steps back to offset this impact.
[The "horned camel beast heartstring" and Susan have the highest degree of compatibility! ]
As for the flying rowan wood, there is one on the tree-protecting hunchback island in the center of the Black Lake of Hogwarts. Of course, the flying rowan wood is like the unicorn. Only the purest people can intercept it, so even if they know the location, ordinary people can't intercept it.
This is certainly not difficult for Xie Lin.
Schelling repeated the trick he had used in Professor Grum-Plan's magical creatures class, using human transfiguration to transform his temperament into the most holy girl, easily deceiving the perception of the rowan wood and cutting off the branches he needed.
The process of making the wand was no different from making Shalph's snakewood wand, both using the elemental ritual inherited from Ravenclaw, but this time Schelling no longer needed to collect materials such as horned water snakes, runes, and coq au chasse.
He used four drops of his own blood, combined with human transfiguration and elemental magic, to transform into a salamander, an odin, a sylph, and a goblin, and then sacrificed them in the ceremony. These four species are the most primitive state of the elements, and Sherin's blood contains amazing vitality, variability, and blood power. This method is not only economical and convenient, but also has the same effect.
At the moment the wand took shape, Susan and the wand also successfully stimulated the phenomenon of "human and wand integration". Her magic power was originally the same as Murray's, just stepping into the level of junior Auror, but after blending with the magic power of the wand, her magic power obviously rose a lot, catching up with Zhang Qiu's level, and she was the best among the Aurors.
What's more terrifying is that Susan ushered in the second magic riot in her life, and the blood power in her body was actually activated. As one of the most powerful pure-blood families in the wizarding world, the heritage of the Bones family is not much worse than that of the Holy 28 pure-blood families, which can be seen from Susan's magic riot this time.
The momentum of the magic riot is very amazing, and it is no less than that of Daphne last month.
Susan's magic riot was indeed beyond Schelling's expectations. Logically speaking, this phenomenon should not happen. The magic fusion between wizards and magic wands can only enhance magic power and has nothing to do with blood power. When he helped Sharfu make the snakewood magic wand, Sharfu did not see such a phenomenon.
However, he overlooked one point.
The bond between Susan and the flying mountain pear wood magic wand is far more than just "human and wand integration". She also fused the residual soul fragments of the horned camel beast in her body!
At the same time as the "human and wand integration" phenomenon occurred, the residual soul fragments of the horned camel beast were also absorbed by her, turning into a pure magical energy flowing into her limbs.
Then, the magic riot happened.
At this moment, Susan seemed to be covered by a small white gas mask that exuded a sacred and solemn aura. With a series of humming sounds, the white gas mask slowly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into an ivory-white human skeleton phantom, which merged into Susan's body.
