Some people, after bragging for a long time, even start to believe their own boasts.

Ron is that kind of person.

The story of the Demiguise in the Ravenclaw Tower that he mentioned actually originated from the Ravenclaw Phoenix.

It is said that before they enrolled, people often saw strange Phoenix coming to the Ravenclaw common room.

After Ron and his companions were caught taking Norberta to the Astronomy Tower, Ron fabricated a story about Phoenix hiding there to gain fame. His friend, a Demiguise, became a target for older poachers. With Ron's help and Draco's assistance, Ron protected their story.

The story, passed down by word of mouth, has long been filled in by other students, who have made it sound as true as if it were true.

Even Ollivander mistakenly believed it to be true.

"That's fine. If the Phoenix were still around, I could make some new Phoenix wands." Ollivander paid no attention to Ron's dissatisfaction; he simply lamented his misfortune.

If he had known earlier that Ravenclaw possessing Phoenix was not just a rumor, given his relationship with Dumbledore, he could have found a new source of the phoenix much sooner.

Fawkes is also Phoenix, but it would be too monotonous to always use a Phoenix feather as the core of a wand.

Wait a minute, that Dumbledore couldn't have done this on purpose, could he?

So that we can keep selling Fawkes feathers!

That makes sense, since the Order of the Phoenix's funding actually comes from Fawkes's feathers.

That is the true meaning behind the name of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Sir, has it been a long time since you made a Phoenix wand?" Harry ignored Ron and instead followed up Ollivander's question.

It's worth noting that his wand was also made of Phoenix Feather.

Ollivander nodded.

I was temporarily jolted out of my thoughts.

"Yes, you may not know, but the Phoenix Feather in the Phoenix wands I've made over the years all come from Fawkes — Dumbledore's Phoenix."

"But perhaps that's why only two of the Phoenix wands made from Fawkes feathers were sold."

"The other Phoenix wands that you know of that have been sold are all stock. They were all made by my ancestors."

"These feathers were carefully collected by my ancestors from areas where Phoenix are frequently found."

"But due to the expansion of Muggle, and the characteristic that Phoenix will change their habitat as soon as it is discovered, the supply of Phoenix Feather was lost in my father's generation."

"When I first took over as manager of the Wand Shop, I almost thought I would never have the chance to make a wand with Phoenix Feather in my life."

"But fortunately, Dumbledore and his Fawkes appeared."

"And not long ago, I almost got a new source of goods, but..." Ollivander seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and began to talk on and on.

"So, when I bought wands before, I was always trying out Harry's brother wands?" Ron said, looking at the rows of boxes of wands on the shelf.

"No, the only ones that can be called Brother Wands are Harry's and the other one that was sold."

"The other Phoenix wands, although also made from Fawkes' tail feathers, are not from the same batch," Ollivander shook his head.

"From the same batch?" Harry asked curiously.

"As you all know, the Phoenix is a Nirvana creature that can be reborn from the ashes every now and then."

"Each Nirvana is a change for the Phoenix."

"Conversely, the feathers of the same Phoenix also show obvious differences at different Nirvana periods." Ollivander said, taking two feathers out of the drawer.

These two feathers are clearly from Phoenix, and they are from a different batch than he said.

"They really are different." The moment Harry saw the feathers, he instinctively knew they didn't come from the same bird.

But according to Ollivander, they actually originated from the same Phoenix.

It's just a different batch. How amazing.

"Perhaps this is the secret to why the Phoenix can maintain the same mindset and live forever."

"The difference between before and after Nirvana is so great that they are not even the same one."

"In other words, the Phoenix is not actually immortal?"

"When they reach the end of their lives, what appears in their Nirvana is actually their children, not themselves."

"Those memories are just inherited from the previous generation?" Ollivander put away his feathers and muttered to himself.

"Perhaps."

"You can ask Dumbledore."

"He should be considered the wizard in the Wizarding World who knows the Phoenix best," Harry suggested.

"Why did you put it away so quickly?"

"I don't see any difference."

"The colors and shapes are all pretty much the same," Ron protested against Ollivander for putting the feathers back in the drawer so quickly.

"Haha, that's why I didn't say 'great' when I bought you the wand, Mr. Weasley." Ollivander winked mischievously.

Meanwhile, Ryan, thousands of miles away, found it all quite peculiar.

For as they spoke of the Phoenix, a fire of Phoenix Feather was burning before Ryan.

Ryan's Phoenix Feather came from Ollivander was lamenting its limited supply.

He finally understood why Ollivander had been so quick to buy and sell feathers.

It turned out that Ollivander had grown tired of using the same Phoenix feather to make wands, and these wands were not selling.

"The Wizarding World is indeed full of talented people," Ryan couldn't help but exclaim.

Ollivander, whom he considered mediocre except for his staff, was almost said to have been planted with the essence of the Phoenix's immortality.

However, Harry was wrong; he was the wizard who knew the Phoenix best in the Wizarding World.

Unlike Harry's bizarrely mutated Phoenix Metamorphosis.

Ryan combined his power—which would never diminish once possessed—with the Phoenix Metamorphosis, transforming into a true Phoenix.

And it gained immortality like Phoenix.

The Phoenix's immortality comes from "giving birth" to one different "self" after another.

Each time Nirvana, their soul undergoes subtle changes, making them appear to the world as a new life.

But in reality, there was no change in appearance or memory.

Its personality and thoughts, from beginning to end, belong to the original Phoenix.

It's essentially like an immortal being using the household registration of their descendants to live in the information age.

Ryan's immortality was even more direct; he essentially erased his household registration and even his social information.

He is essentially a non-existent person.

But at the same time, he can create new social information that others have always found to be plausible.

In other words, from the perspective of heaven and earth, there has never been an immortal being named Ryan Smith.

Some are people with only one name and one appearance, who happen to be the same but are completely unrelated.

It's just that similar flowers are born one after another in this world.
