Half an hour later, all ten carefully thought-out plans failed.
Lin Xia felt that she needed to drink a glass of blackcurrant sparkling water to calm down.
The reason she was interested in wand making was that she felt it had great potential.
In the early stages, wizards relied too much on wands, and the wands would be detected by the Ministry of Magic to see what magic was used, so there was no privacy.
Many wizards who want to evade detection often buy a second wand. Wands are in high demand on the black market, and good wands can fetch a high price.
As far as she knew, the Malfoy family had several wands, but only one was recorded by the Ministry of Magic.
My parents' wands were brought from the East and are not under the monitoring of the Ministry of Magic.
But the real reason she had time to delve into it was because she had a lot of free time.
The little wizard's magic power will only stabilize after she reaches adulthood at the age of 18, and the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Record" she practices can only be practiced after adulthood.
After coming to this world, her skills changed accordingly. She could start practicing at the age of 10, but it was just to lay the foundation. One hour of practice every day was enough for her.
In the "food" stage, cultivation is not important, food supplements are important.
As for her magical talent, it will automatically improve as her practice deepens, without the need for deliberate training. This is the benefit brought by the technique, or bloodline.
"Does it have to be the fur of a rare magical creature to be used as a wand core? Is there something more common that can be mass-produced?"
Lin Xia pondered, in this world, the more compatible an item is with magic, the more powerful it is. Trying to find an item that is compatible with magic but not rare is like looking for a new material.
Perhaps, she could try the synthetic route and defeat magic with science?
Suddenly, the destiny compass in Lin Xia's mind moved slightly, stopped at the "character divination" column, and the word "magic wand" emerged.
【You are trying to figure out how to make a wand...】
【You got inspiration and found three solutions】
【Preferred: You have discovered the characteristics of the devil's vine. Use the fibers of the devil's vine as the core of the wand and combine it with fir wood. The wand will have a strong bonus to binding magic, but will be very weak to fire magic.
This wand will give a powerful boost to those who hide in the shadows, and they will target you because of it.
Selected: You discovered that weeds found everywhere in the wizarding world can be used as wand cores. Combined with the ubiquitous pine wood, they can become a good conductive wand that can be compatible with anyone and is only 20% weaker in power than a custom-made one.
This wand made you famous and was nominated for Merlin's Outstanding Young Person Award, but it may violate the Wand Regulations. The Ministry of Magic requires that the wand you make be equipped with tracking methods. After some special settings, the wand can bypass the supervision.
Next choice: You discovered the special effects of magic magnets, which can form magical magnetic fields and resonate with magic. You created a brand new method of making magic wands.
The combination of magnetic iron and magic magnetite can be compatible with magic, but due to its low conduction efficiency, it can only exert half of its true power.
This wand is the perfect choice for civilian wizards. It's made of cheap materials, but its disadvantage is that it's too heavy. The new wand-making method has earned you some attention.
Lin Xia made a decision quickly. Only children make choices, adults want them all!
From a safety perspective, she can first throw out the worst option and then gradually transition to the middle and best options.
…
In the wand shop, Ollivander stared at Lin Xia in amazement. She was taking a big bite of ice cream with a spoon. This was already her fifth ice cream!
"Are you okay? How can you fit so much ice cream in your tiny stomach?"
Today is August 15th. Lin Xia asked her boss to increase benefits on the grounds that they could celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the East, otherwise she would take paid leave.
Ollivander shook his head and refused: "Dear little wizard, the shop is short-staffed and needs your help, but I can treat you to something to eat. Go and get whatever you want. I will pay for it. I wish you a happy holiday."
These words became the beginning of Ollivander's nightmare.
She was different from the other employee. She would not receive any commission for selling wands through her recommendation, so after Lin Xia finished looking at the books in the store, she sat at the cashier and slacked off openly.
Ollivander didn't say anything about it. Instead, he thought that this was the nature of the little wizard. If she continued to work so hard, it would make him feel like she was exploiting child labor.
So Ollivander didn't see it. From morning to afternoon, Lin Xia sat in front of the cashier and her mouth never stopped.
Lin Xia looked at him innocently while eating, with chocolate, raspberry and chopped nut sauce on her cheeks.
She put down her spoon and said, "Mr. Ollivander, you told me to get whatever I wanted."
Ollivander saw the five ice cream bowls and reminded her, "Little wizard, I'm just worried about your health."
Lin Xia explained: "Don't worry, I just eat a lot."
While there were no customers in the store, Lin Xia rushed to the Leaky Cauldron.
The bar was very dark and simple, with a bar counter and a few tables placed in the shadows in the corner, looking shabby and old.
But Lin Xia knew that bars during the day were different from bars at night.
"Hey, kid, this bar is not a place for a little kid like you to go. Where are your parents?" The burly boss Tom bent down and asked, his scarred face looking a little ferocious.
Lin Xia: "Uncle, I want to order two of the store's ten classic signature dishes. Please help me deliver them to Ollivander's Wand Shop."
"Okay, kid, go back quickly." Tom knew Lin Xia, this soft cub who worked in Ollivander's store and captured the hearts of many cub lovers.
Ollivander is such a black-hearted businessman. He actually let such a cute cub work for him!
Tom wanted to reach out and touch her, but was afraid of scaring her, so he handed her a screaming candy mouse.
Lin Xia thanked him politely and obediently.
When we returned to the shop, we just arrived with customers. There were nine adults with little wizards in total, and their hair seemed to be cast from the same mold - ginger-colored, with a dark brown tint.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Weasley," Ollivander muttered. "Eleven inches, made of cedar, right? It's a very strong and sturdy wand, with extraordinary loyalty."
"Ms. Molly, long time no see. You are still as cheerful as ever. Your question is..."
Molly interrupted Ollivander's small talk, "Ollivander, we need to buy a wand for Ron, our youngest son, and we also need to buy some other items. We need to act quickly."
"I'm happy to help you." Ollivander's large, light-colored eyes looked like two shining crescent moons in the dim shop.
He moved closer to Ron, his nose almost touching Ron's face. Ron was so nervous that he dared not breathe and his hair stood on end.
"I see the desire deep in your heart... Oh? Interesting, interesting, you are suitable for unicorn tail hair."
Ms. Molly's expression changed slightly. She grabbed Ron, who was holding out his hand to measure his arm, and said hurriedly, "Wait, we have something urgent to do. We have to leave first."
Lin Xia looked up, and the compass of fate in her mind suddenly started to turn and stopped at the "Fuqi" column, and frames of pictures flashed by.
A tattered old wand... out of control... classroom incidents... disruptive... a drag... a huge nuisance...
Combining all the clips, it seems that the boy caused many accidents in the magic class with his broken wand, some of which affected her class.
When the Weasleys reached the door, Lin Xia suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Ollivander, the store is so busy, do you need to hire one more person?"
Ms. Molly looked in the direction of the voice and found a cute-looking black-haired girl.
She looked very small, almost buried by the various wand boxes, with fair skin and her hair tied in a high ponytail with a bear scrunchie.
