Chapter 265 Cursed Wand
Daphne's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion. Xie Lin's back gave her a feeling of determination, as if where he was walking now was not a competition between students, but a competition between students. It's like rushing to a life-and-death duel with a powerful enemy.
She twisted her hands hanging in front of her tightly together, forced to soothe the uneasiness in her heart, and murmured in a low voice: "Xie Lin, please be sure nothing happens to you. We are all waiting for you, and you must come back safely. …”
Dumbledore watched the four warriors leaving the auditorium intently. He first stared at Harry's thin back, his eyes full of unbearability and complexity. He knew that Harry would definitely face a major hurdle in his life when he left. , because if the target of the mysterious man is Harry, tonight will be his last chance.
He shifted his gaze to another warrior in Hogwarts and frowned tightly. Although the door of the auditorium was at least fifty steps away from where he was standing at the moment, he could feel that——
The magic power in Xie Lin's body is rolling violently, and his whole body exudes a formidable and formidable aura. This situation is extremely familiar to Dumbledore——
This is similar to the magic power of the Elder Wand!
Ever since Sherrin took away the Philosopher's Stone at the end of the first year, Dumbledore had already had a crush on the young master of the Malfoy family. He sent his intelligence network to collect information about this young man in many ways, but it was not easy to find out the information within the Malfoy family. It was difficult for him to find out everything about Sherrin in the Malfoy Manor.
The only thing he found was what happened in Ollivander's Wand Shop and Madam Malkin's Clothing Shop on the day Sherin went to Diagon Alley before entering school.
The multifunctional wizard robe specially customized by Xie Lin in the clothing store obviously has a strong practical effect, which shows that this child has already developed a sense of combat at an early age, but this is still within Dumbledore's acceptance range. , we can not mention it for now.
Dumbledore couldn't help but be concerned about Schelling's performance in the wand shop.
Although Ollivander is the expert in staff-making, this does not mean that Dumbledore knows nothing about staff-making. After all, he was once an internationally renowned alchemist. Staff-making was born out of alchemy. By analogy, he also knew a little about stick making. He agreed with Ollivander's statement that "it is the wand that chooses the wizard."
According to Ollivander, who vouched for his amazing memory, Schelling had tried seven unicorn wands in the wand shop that day (the unicorn tail hair was the first to try, because his twin brother had this), 12 fire dragon heartstring wands, 9 phoenix tail feather wands, and almost all the wand combinations he could think of that might suit Sherrin, but he couldn't find a matching wand for him.
In order to preserve the reputation of his ancestors' wand-making family, he had no choice but to take out the Thestral tail-feather wand left by his great-great-grandfather.
The origin of this wand is extraordinary, and it is by no means as simple as Ollivander said when he deceived the Malfoy family more than three years ago. His great-grandfather was pursuing the goal of making a wand that would surpass the Elder Wand and be the most powerful wand in history. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of making the wand, forgetting sleep and food. In the end, he had to fall into the inner demons because of his excessive obsession. On the day he finally completed the wand, he was so exhausted that he vomited three liters of blood and died on the spot.
After losing the family's most outstanding wand-making expert, the entire family regarded the wand as an ominous object, and many versions of rumors were spread secretly within the family.
One theory is that it is a cursed wand that will curse the wizard who created it, causing the wizard who created it to die and harvest his life and soul as a sacrifice to transform into the power of the wand itself.
Of course this claim has never been successfully proven.
No matter what, the wand's strangeness is genuine.
Other members of the Ollivander family had secretly tried to use the wand, but were unable to cast even a single fluorescent spell with it. They tried to put it on display in the store for sale, but found that when this wand existed, other wands in the store would directly lose their spirituality, causing the little wizards who came to buy wands to no longer have any connection with the wand.
In desperation, the family had to spend a lot of money to hire an alchemist to build a box, seal the wand with magic crystal containing four elements, and hide it in a secret secret room of Ollivander's Wand Shop.
That day, there was a perfect match between Schelling and the Thestral's tail feather wand that Ollivander had never imagined.
This phenomenon has gone beyond Ollivander's understanding of the wand, and it is not something that can be explained clearly by saying "the wand chooses the wizard". He could only begin to believe the rumor about the curse that was circulated back then——
This is a cursed wand. It will only have one master in its life. Only the person chosen by the most elusive "destiny" in occult science is qualified to become its master. Apart from that person, no one can There will be a second person who can control it.
When it comes to the power of the Thestral's tail feather wand, Dumbledore is probably the one who knows the most about the wizards alive today. He is very aware of the power increase that the Thestral Tail Feather Wand can provide to the holder when casting spells, especially when casting black magic, its increase is even more astonishing.
Therefore, in the past few years, Dumbledore has been secretly observing whether Schelling showed any tendency to study dark magic. As someone who has dealt with the two dark wizards Grindelwald and Voldemort, he knows best the aura of a person who specializes in dark magic. Grindelwald was arrogant, wild and flamboyant, while Voldemort was cunning, cruel and vicious——
None of these appeared in Xie Lin. Instead, Xie Lin was more like a person——
he himself.
Schelling has the same ambition as Grindelwald, but is as humble and dormant as himself; Schelling is as tolerant and cunning as Voldemort, but has the same "love" and "bond" as himself.
In the end, he could only choose to believe that Schelling would restrain his desire for power like himself and become the master of the wand instead of a slave to power.
The reason why Dumbledore frowned at this moment was not because he could see the breath of the Thestral's tail feather wand on Xie Lin's back, nor was it because Xie Lin had revealed the aura of dark magic.
To be honest, he had known for a long time that Xie Lin owned the Thestral Tail Feather Wand, so the presence of an aura similar to that of the Elder Wand did not surprise him at all. Even if Schelling really leaked the aura of dark magic, Dumbledore might be a little solemn and even have a headache, but he wouldn't be like now, with an expression of complete disbelief on his face.
In the middle of this month, Chapter 6 of Volume 1 was revised, which was the chapter where Schelling bought the wand. Schelling's wand has some modifications to its settings. Old readers who don't understand this chapter are advised to go back and reread that chapter.
