In fact, Mo Fei did not expect that Ollivander would explain so much to him. You must know that knowledge is an important asset passed down to the family at any time.
Not to mention, Britain is the only one who has the largest monopoly industry. Even anyone with some wisdom will not easily teach the know-how, but now he...
However, Ollivander seemed to be aware of Mo Fei's doubts and laughed as if it was a prank.
Dumbledore next to it also gave an explanation.
"As for the details of wand making, many wizards from Pure-blood families know about it. Not only wizards from Pure-blood families, but also some senior wizards from Ravenclaw also know..."
"But knowing is one thing. I really want to make a successful wand, including the choice of wood, hollow drilling, control of length, how to integrate the wood and the core of the wand, etc. It is a very complicated technology... There are also young wizards who want to study, but after studying for a long time, they found that the wand they made can only increase the power of some single Charms..."
"Such a defective product has no great competitiveness at all. Moreover, they have also calculated the cost-effectiveness. Even if it is a defective product, the final cost is much higher than the wand made by Ollivander..."
"So, unless there are some personal requirements, generally speaking, wizards' wands will come here for purchase and maintenance..."
"Conservation?" Mo Fei heard a word that he had never heard in the original work.
"Of course, you don't think that a wand can be used for a lifetime just by taking it back... Except for some very specific types of wands, other wands need to come here for maintenance after the little wizard reaches adulthood... After many years of learning, traces of the wizard's spellcasting have also been left on the wand, and adjusting some wands can also make it better keep up with the progress of the wizard..."
"Generally speaking, wizards will perform maintenance every ten years or so. Of course, in order to prevent your habits from being known to others, you can also purchase maintenance kits and maintenance methods yourself... Although this is more expensive than having Ollivander do the maintenance..."
"But almost all nobles choose to maintain their own wands, and each wizarding family has its own method of maintaining wands. Some families even have the method of making their own wands..."
Mo Fei heard some aspects that were different from the original work, and finally understood why Ollivander was also a member of Sacred Twenty-Eight, and what the wand shop relied on to maintain its livelihood.
Simply relying on the favorable price of 7 Galleon, it is completely a loss and a profit.
Now it seems that the profitability methods of monopolized industries are far from simple...
However, these are all understandable.
Only Mo Fei thought of one thing. From the very beginning, Ollivander would judge the little wizard based on the wand itself. Although in most cases, it would be some common clichés, such as: you will definitely become a great wizard in the future, you will have good achievements in Herbology in the future, and you will be a trustworthy person in the future...
These clichés seem to portend nothing.
But if you add in the maintenance, the traces of the wizard's magical training can be detected in the wand.
Then it can completely depict the growth trajectory of a wizard, and then the advantages and disadvantages will be displayed equally. Then the biggest role of this kind of information is to become an information dealer, and then walk between black and white, and reap the benefits of the fishermen?
Is it possible that the real Harry Potter should be renamed "The Behind-the-Scenes Life of Ollivander?"
Just thinking about it makes people feel wary.
Mo Fei was also curious and asked these questions directly, "Are there no wizards who are suspicious? If their information is leaked, it will definitely be very dangerous..."
Hearing this question, Dumbledore and Ollivander looked at each other.
Then he laughed heartily again, "Relax, Muggle, there are many smart people among wizards... As for why they don't worry about this..."
Ollivander pointed to the small characters engraved on the wooden counter at the entrance. They were in Latin, but because these characters were deliberately made into a pattern-like structure, people entering the door would ignore them...
"Wand making is silent, knowledge must be silent!"
Just a few words, Mo Fei was a little confused.
But Dumbledore took out his magic wand, then asked Ollivander, and after getting a positive answer, he continued his operation.
He pressed the wand against the small words, and then saw the small words glowing slightly, and then turned into a transparent chain extending out, directly sealing Ollivander's mouth.
This magical scene finally made Tom, who had been silent until now, become curious.
"Just what?"
"This is a kind of Silencing Charm, and it is also a special oath. When the Ollivander ancestors planned to make wands as a family inheritance business, we engraved this oath in our blood from generation to generation..."
"We make wands, and we only make wands. Except for wands, we will not participate in any disputes between Wizarding World... No matter who they are..."
These words sounded like child's play, but there was no joking on Ollivander's face, he was very serious.
Not only Mo Fei could see this, but even Tom could feel it.
This heavy oath makes Ollivander and Wizarding World have a very special status. They are like eternally neutral existences, not participating in any disputes at all, and not favoring any party.
And perhaps due to the influence of magic, their population is not prosperous and they often come from the same origin.
Even if there are more descendants, only one can inherit the craftsmanship.
It stands to reason that this kind of inheritance is prone to problems, but their family has been like this since ancient times...
Mo Fei was very touched by the wisdom of Ollivander back then. Although this limited their expansion, it also gave them relatively the greatest security.
This incident passed like this.
Another point is that when he came with Kyle, he was a little interested. He could see the future of the little wizard through the wand. This was too magical.
It's simply a Divination.
When I came here again, Mo Fei knew that it was not an illusion.
After actually performing the Divination ritual of Muggle, he realized that Ollivander was indeed performing a Divination ritual through a magic wand...
It's just that this kind of ceremony is more upright, and maybe many people know about it.
Now, Mo Fei is a little curious. Will Tom's wand still have the same yew body and Phoenix Feather core?
With the magic wand, will his future be like that?
He will have a fateful connection with a certain existence in the future!
Tom's attempts at wands seem to be endless, and there are already more than a dozen wand boxes lying next to him.
But there is no one who can resonate with him.
Finally it was the turn of the wand, yew, Phoenix Feather, thirteen and one-half inches, surprisingly flexible...
