The Elder Wand, What a Bitch!

I don't have the Elder Wand.

Real!

No!!"

Sitting in the creaking old chair, Gregorovitch first gave himself a triple denial.

He wiped away his tears again and said painfully:

"In my life, I may have possessed the Elder Wand, but like sand slipping through my fingers, it's all gone now..."

When Gregorovitch opened his mouth, he sounded like the old Yongzheng, as if the Elder Wand belonged to his Huanhuan, his tone filled with deep sorrow.

Although Gregorovitch was devastated, his words still conveyed a clear message:

He once possessed the Elder Wand, but lost it again.

Where did you get that wand?

William conjured two small stools, one for himself and one for Hermione, and they sat down in the shade.

Gregorovitch, clutching his hair, sighed deeply and honestly said:

"The Elder Wand has a clear history."

It may be interrupted, disappearing from the wizard's sight, but it will always reappear.

"How did you know that it was the Elder Wand that appeared?" Hermione asked.

"The Elder Wand has certain identifiable features; anyone who has studied Wandlore will recognize it."

Wandlore is the study of the history of wands and their magical properties.

It is complex and mysterious, and it is not taught in schools.

It's like many ancient memories, passed down through families or through apprenticeships... a master-apprentice system.

Cedric was Ollivander's apprentice.

"There are some written records, some obscure, some only containing faint clues."

When it comes to specialized knowledge, Gregorovitch speaks much faster.

"And I've done the research specifically and identified the Elder Wand's past owners."

William and Hermione both pricked up their ears and listened intently.

The history of the Elder Wand is unknown to most wizards.

William's entire knowledge also came from the Tale of the Three Brothers.

As for where the Elder Wand lost it, that's not entirely clear.

The Gregorovitch man picked up a wand, placed it on his knees, and remained silent for a moment, as if deep in thought.

After a long while, he said in a low voice:

"The Elder Wand has a bloody history; it is a coveted artifact that arouses intense desire among wizards."

Since the Three Brothers, this is the first written record of Elder Wand possessing exceptionally powerful and dangerous magic. Its owner was named Emeric, known as "The Villain."

He was a wizard with extremely high offensive power. He ruled a reign of terror in southern England during the early Middle Ages.

"But he died in a duel with a wizard Egbert."

Egbert obtained the Elder Wand, but was soon killed in another duel, and the Elder Wand disappeared briefly.

Hermione asked skeptically, "If the Elder Wand is invincible, then why was its master defeated?"

Gregorovitch shook his head and said, "Child, the wand is invincible, but the wizard is not!"

Don't confuse this point; after all, not all wizards are the same in terms of power.

The Elder Wand can indeed enhance its owner's power, but there are limits to it.

Gregorovitch said quickly:

"A century later, the Elder Wand reappeared, this time with a master named Godelot."

William frowned and said, "Godelot..."

"You've heard of him?" Gregorovitch asked William.

"Yes, his book, Magick Moste Evile, is in the Hogwarts library," William said.

He had previously researched information about Horcrux.

Horcrux are mentioned in "The Magick Moste Evile," but only in one sentence:

The Horcrux, the most evil magical invention, will not be discussed or addressed here.

William even criticized Godelot at the time, calling him a fool and asking why he brought it up if he wasn't going to write about it.

I never imagined this person had ever possessed the Elder Wand.

"That's right, 'The Magick Moste Evile' was indeed written by Godelot, a book specifically about Dark Magic, and..."

Gregorovitch's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"It was written with the help of the Elder Wand!"

"What, with the Elder Wand's help?" Hermione asked in surprise.

She now feels that the old man's advanced age may mean that his former rationality has also disappeared.

"Excuse me, sir. You mean, the Elder Wand told Godelot a lot of unknown Dark Magic?"

"That's right, child!"

Gregorovitch's eyes gleamed with fervor as he spoke of the Elder Wand's magic.

"I see doubt in your eyes, which is normal; you know very little about wands!"

The old man's temper flared up; it was as if he hadn't been the one crying just now, and he glared at the old man with wide eyes.

He shouted:

Ollivander often said, "The wand chooses its master."

This statement is not nonsense.

"The wand, as our friend, also has its own consciousness."

Gregorovitch stood up and said in a loud voice:

Don't believe me?

A wand made from Thunderbird tail feather can sense danger and cast spells in advance;

Twin wands with the same core will force each other to use the Prior Incantato when they fight!

I could give you a whole host of examples of wands having consciousness, how do you explain that?

William and Hermione were speechless.

Gregorovitch said in an admiring tone:

"The wand also has the ability to learn."

Those familiar with Wandlore know that wands can indeed absorb the user's skills.

Most wizards prefer to use a wand that they "choose" rather than any secondhand wand.

Because a secondhand wand may have picked up some habits from its previous owner, which might not match the new owner's magical style.

Gregorovitch's eyes flickered. "And the Elder Wand, it has been with powerful dark wizards throughout history, and knows a great deal about the realm of Dark Magic."

Therefore, when it encounters the evil wizard Godelot, it will offer him some assistance.

"And then what happened?"

"Later..." Gregorovitch sat back down in his chair, swaying slightly as he spoke:

"Godelot's mad son, Hereward, locked his father in a magical cellar and then took the Elder Wand."

In the 18th century, the Elder Wand reappeared, its owner being Barnabas Devriel.

He killed many wizards, earning himself the reputation of "the dreadful wizard."

Gregorovitch said in a low voice:

"Later, the infamous Loxias seized the wand, ending Barnabas's reign of terror."

After that, Loxias also died. But many people claim that he was killed, including his own mother.

"But actually, that wand ended up in Arcus's hands."

Gregorovitch's eyes suddenly narrowed in fear.

"I found Arcus, who was nearing his death."

He wanted to end the Elder Wand's fate, so he took the wand to the tomb.

He begged me not to take it... but I still snatched it away!

You have no idea what the Elder Wand means to a wandwitch!

If I could replicate that power in other wands...

My darling!"

Gregorovitch's eyes were red.

Hermione asked, puzzled, "Back then, nobody knew where the Elder Wand was. Now that you had it, why did you reveal it?"

Gregorovitch stared wide-eyed and said:

"I've studied it for many years and discovered some properties of the Elder Wand. That research allows me to create wands that are more powerful than others'."

Then, I don't know what happened to me, I seemed to go mad.

A voice kept running in my head:

If I don't tell anyone, how will they know I can replicate the Elder Wand's properties?

How could the wizards know that the wands I make are far superior to those of other wandmakers!

Back then, Ollivander far more famous than I was!

Promoting that you can replicate the properties of the Elder Wand will definitely boost business significantly.

This even led to Gregorovitch becoming one of the three major wand merchants in Europe.

This is just like Ollivander's habit of making a fuss when he sells wands; it's all for the sake of selling wands.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

But once you leak this information, how can you possibly protect the Elder Wand?

If the Elder Wand truly possesses consciousness, then it has clearly grown tired of being with Gregorovitch, which is why it has begun to bewitch its master.

Sure enough, the Elder Wand is a traitor too.

It seems like Nie Feng's mother, who holds the title of "Number One Beauty in the Martial Arts World," will side with whoever is the most powerful.

The Elder Wand

How shameless!
