Richard didn't like these wands at all. Ollivander's wand was called a wand, but more precisely, it should be a magic rectifier. And it was short like a stick. Richard was worried that he would break it by mistake if he used too much force. The lowest level wand made of three branches in Azeroth can also restore magic power and enhance attack, but the wands here can only guide magic power. Do you need to make a wand to guide magic? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just make a ring? And then, this old shop, which claims to have a history of making wands for thousands of years, has been making wands in this way for thousands of years, and has not fundamentally improved the wands. Professional idiots, bah, making wands for a thousand years, right? Richard looked around the wands here and didn't think they were suitable, so he said, "Do you sell these wand-making materials here?" "Wand-making materials? Are you going to make your own wand?" Ollivander laughed as if he heard a joke. "Isn't it possible?" Richard said. Ollivander said, "Do you know that wand making is a very professional skill? Every wand is not as simple as you think. It requires careful selection of materials, cleaning, drying and shade drying." "This step alone takes one to two years. Next, the appropriate casting medium is inlaid according to the magic pattern of the material. After careful matching, a qualified wand can be made."
"I advise you not to waste your energy. Buy one here." "I think I can. Boss, you prepare the materials." Richard didn't want to argue with him. No matter how good the debate is, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. "Okay, if you insist." Ollivander shrugged, and then took out the materials prepared for wand making and said, "These logs are all shade-dried. You can choose them yourself. Other materials include unicorn hair, dragon nerves, heartstrings, etc., but I suggest you use unicorn hair." Richard selected several logs and other materials. "A total of fifteen gold galleons." Richard took out fifteen gold coins and handed them to Ollivander. Ollivander picked up a gold coin and looked at it. "This is not a gold Galleon!" "It is a gold coin, and it has a higher gold content than a gold Galleon. You don't accept this kind of gold coin?" Richard said. "Of course!" After confirming the gold content of the gold coin, Ollivander immediately collected the gold coin, and then said to Richard: "Sir, although your gold coin has a high gold content, I suggest you go to Gringotts to exchange it, otherwise you will suffer a lot." "I know." Richard nodded, then put away the materials and left. After leaving the wand shop, Richard soon saw another pet shop. Suddenly I remembered that there seemed to be a phoenix egg in a pet shop in Diagon Alley. Richard was still very interested in the phoenix in the Harry Potter world. The magic limit of this world is not high, but there are many magical animals. For example, unicorns, fire dragons, basilisks, phoenixes, etc. Things like unicorns are almost extinct in the Motera world. There are only a few in the outer planes of the Zoo and Mount Heaven. This kind of divine creature was once hunted in large numbers because of its beautiful appearance, as well as its horns, blood and divinity. Of course, those who dare to kill unicorns will be attacked by the unicorn goddess Lara and the forest goddess. So in the planes with these gods, don't kill unicorns for no reason. There are no such gods in the Harry Potter world. Richard plans to secretly catch a few unicorns and bring them back. As for the fire dragon, Richard thinks it is more like a dragon beast, not very smart, and can't do magic. Just looking like a dragon, he also plans to catch a few and take them back. There are very few basilisks and phoenixes. The basilisk has the two skills of death gaze and petrification. As for the phoenix, it seems that only Dumbledore has one at present. "Welcome to the Magic Animal Pet Shop! Sir, what can I do for you?" Seeing the business coming to the door, the owner of the pet shop hurriedly came forward to entertain. "I want to buy some special pets." Richard said. "We are the largest pet shop in Diagon Alley. There are all kinds of pets here, owls, cats, toads, bats, spiders, etc., everything you can think of." The owner said enthusiastically.
"These are too ordinary. Do you have more special pets?" Richard asked with a smile. "More special pets?" The boss looked Richard up and down, then shook his head and said, "Sir, these are all we have here." "Well, do you have dragons, unicorns, phoenixes or other rare creatures?" Richard said directly. Hearing Richard's words, the shopkeeper was shocked and said quickly, "No!" "Sir, dragons, unicorns and other rare creatures are prohibited by the Ministry of Magic. We are a legitimate business and do not sell such contraband!" The shopkeeper was sweating coldly, his eyes wandering. Could this person in front of him be an informant of the Auror? Was he discovered last time when he smuggled dragons? "Sir, if you want a phoenix, we have a phoenix egg here. I can guarantee that it is real, but I can't guarantee whether it can hatch." The store manager began to change the subject. "Phoenix egg! Well, as long as it is a real phoenix egg." Richard said. Richard was not disappointed that there were no dragons and unicorns, but he knew that there were these creatures there. There are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and dragons are in the Dragon Sanctuary. After hearing that Richard agreed to buy the phoenix eggs, the shop owner quickly ran to the storage room behind the store and started picking them up. After a while, there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the shopkeeper pulled out a box from an unknown corner. Then the box was opened, revealing an egg that was larger than a duck egg. This egg looks ordinary, with a fiery red shell and a burning magical life energy inside. Obviously this egg is indeed the egg of the phoenix, and it is not a dead egg. "It is indeed a phoenix egg." Richard nodded. "As long as you approve, sir," the shop owner said happily. This phoenix egg has been in his store for almost ten years and has never hatched. Over the years, he has been trying to sell the phoenix egg, but because it cannot hatch, he cannot sell it at all. There are too few creatures like the phoenix. If you want to hatch this phoenix egg, you must have the flame of the phoenix. Where does this leave him to find Phoenix to help hatch eggs? If he really found it, Phoenix would attack him immediately. After all, the egg was stolen. "How much?" Richard asked. "Ten thousand gold galleons!" said the shopkeeper. "Are you kidding me?" Richard glanced at him, thinking that he was being taken advantage of: "This thing needs phoenix fire to hatch. Where are you going to find phoenix fire?" "Without the fire of the phoenix, this phoenix egg cannot hatch. Have you been selling your phoenix eggs here for many years? Have you sold them?" "But once it hatches successfully, it will become a phoenix!" the shop owner said: "This is a rarer and more beautiful creature than the fire dragon! Ten thousand gold galleons is already a very good deal!" "No matter how rare the phoenix is, it is just an egg now. If you had a way to find the fire of the phoenix, the egg would have hatched long ago. But it hasn't hatched all these years. Doesn't that explain the problem enough?" "One hundred gold coins!" "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The shop owner shook his arms and kept emphasizing. Richard said: "One hundred gold galleons, you can still make some money by selling it now, but when the life breath of this phoenix egg dissipates, you won't even be able to sell it for one hundred gold galleons!" "Think carefully, the life breath in this egg has begun to weaken. If this state continues for three to five years at most, it will really become a dead egg by then, and you can only make one tomato egg!" Li Cha sneered. "Think about it, I am the only one willing to buy this egg now!" The shopkeeper's expression changed. He had kept this phoenix egg for almost ten years and had not sold it. He missed it and he was not sure to sell it again. Finally, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, one One hundred gold galleons is one hundred gold galleons!” Hearing this, Richard smiled slightly and immediately threw him a money bag. The shopkeeper picked up the money bag, poured it out and tapped it. When he saw that the gold coins were not gold Galleons, he was slightly startled. Then he picked up one and observed it carefully, and immediately collected the hundred gold coins calmly. stand up.
The gold content of these gold coins far exceeds that of gold galleons. You can exchange them for at least two hundred gold galleons. "Sir, that's exactly one hundred gold coins! It's yours!" As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed the phoenix egg to Richard. Richard put away the phoenix egg and prepared to go to Gringotts to exchange it for Galleons. Gringotts is the Wizarding Bank and the largest building in Diagon Alley. It is built entirely of white marble and looks very majestic. But for such a grand bank, their exchange rate is very weird. People say that British people are poor at math, and this is evident here. Gringotts can exchange pounds for gold galleons, and the exchange ratio is 5:1. You must know that the current gold price difference is only 10 pounds per gram. If you exchange pounds for gold Galleons, melt it back and sell it as gold, it will be dozens of times the profit. Then he exchanged pounds for gold Galleons, and then did the same thing. He could completely empty out Gringotts. Richard entered Gringotts, passed through two steel doors, and came to the spacious marble hall. There are more than a dozen counters in this hall, and the height of the counters is more than meters. Behind the counters, there are more than a dozen goblins sitting, really busy with something. There are some wizards nearby who are conducting business. All wizards have to raise their heads when doing business at the counter. Soon, all the wizards in front had finished their business. When it was Richard's turn, he saw a line of text posted next to the counter that read, 'You can enjoy the exchange of pounds for gold galleons with your Hogwarts College admission notice. The limit is 100, and others are limited to an exchange limit of 10' per year. Well, after working on it for a long time, the exchange of pounds for gold galleons is the admission reward. If you think about it, if there were such a big loophole, Gringotts would have gone bankrupt long ago. The limit of ten gold galleons per year is more like a subsidy for poor wizards. When Richard came to the counter, he was not used to talking with his head raised. He lightly snapped his fingers and his whole body floated up until he was one meter above the counter. Seeing Richard flying up, the wizards around him were very surprised. They did not hear the incantation or see the staff at all. "Dear Wizard, what business do you need to handle?" The originally expressionless goblin suddenly became very respectful. "I need to exchange some gold galleons!" With that, Richard threw over a money bag containing five hundred gold coins. "Hey, why haven't I seen this kind of gold coin before?" the goblin opened the bag and said after seeing the gold coins inside. "Dear Sir, because we have never seen these gold coins of yours, the exchange may take longer." "Exchange it." Richard nodded. Soon, another goblin came with a scale and began to weigh the gold coins. After weighing, he said, "Sir, the gold content of your gold coins is twice that of gold galleons. We offer a 1:2 exchange rate. Do you think it's appropriate?" "Yes!" Richard said. Soon, the two goblins prepared a thousand gold galleons. After exchanging the gold galleons, Richard left Diagon Alley and came to the nearby Upside Down Alley. Most of the shops in Upside Down Alley supply dark wizards, and there are often some contraband items here. Richard's target is the bookstore here. The bookstore in Diagon Alley only has white magic and protective magic. Those books are basically easy to buy, but books like potions and dark magic that Richard is more interested in can only be found in Upside Down Alley. After arriving here, Richard went straight along the street to look for shops one by one. The shops here looked gloomy and did not look like serious businesses. After learning that Richard wanted to buy books on black magic and potions, some shops said they did not have any, but under the temptation of Richard's gold galleons, many shops finally took out a lot of books. In addition to black magic books, there are many ancient magics here. Most of these ancient magics are outdated spells or outdated spells, but Richard finally bought them. Many of these ancient magics are very difficult to cast, with complicated spells or need to be matched with some other materials for casting. Because of various reasons, they have declined. But this does not mean that ancient magic is not powerful. In fact, many ancient magics are more destructive. Because of their strong destructive power, the magic world at that time restricted some ancient magics and then improved them. Richard found more than a dozen ancient magic books and basic black magic books from these shops, and the rest are various potion books. In fact, there are a lot of books on potions. After all, there are many wizards who practice potions. Some wizards will develop unique secret recipes, but more often they fail or are directly poisoned to death.
Richard collected the books on potions here to get the experience records of these people. Of course, after collecting these books, Richard also plans to go to Hogwarts. He will not miss the collection of books there.
