"I hope to get a powerful wand." Cyrus said as he looked up at Gregorovitch's wand shop.

There are probably tens of thousands of wands here, and the densely packed and tall shelves are filled with long-dusty wand boxes.

This made the light in the store very dim, and the huge shadow made the temperature in the store a little low. But the environment inside was not cold at all. Dust danced in the dry air.

"Everyone who comes here to buy a wand says so." Gregorovitch laughed and said proudly, "Among the three most famous wand manufacturers in Europe, only my wand is the most powerful. But I have to say that the others also have their own advantages. Some people look for the most suitable one, while others pursue the most stable one."

He took a box from the shelf without much thought: "Elderberry, dragon nerve, a combination of death and power, twelve inches, very strong, and arrogant, only the most talented wizards can tame it."

After Cyrus took the wand, he immediately felt its magic power. He had never tried the power of the Elder Wand, but the wand in his hand was indeed the most powerful wand he had gotten in a while.

He could feel the power of the wand, and with a gentle wave, magic immediately gushed out from the tip of the wand, and red sparks exploded.

"You control it very well. Every wizard who has tried this wand before made a lot of noise. They couldn't make this wand submit." Gregorovitch said in amazement.

"This is indeed the most powerful wand I have ever encountered. Take this one."

Cyrus was very pleased with the wand.

But after Gregorovitch saw how easily he subdued the wand that matched the dragon's nerves, he had some other thoughts.

"Of course, I am the most outstanding wand maker in the history of the Gregorovitch family." Gregorovitch said with a smile, "But I think maybe you can try another wand first before making a decision."

As he said this, he cast a flying spell, and an exquisite box flew over quickly, knocking over many wand boxes, but Gregorovitch didn't look distressed at all.

After studying the Elder Wand, he had tried many different combinations.

For example, the elderberry and thestral tail feathers are a complete replica of the Old Wand. Unfortunately, this combination did not show the expected magic. On the contrary, Gregorovitch made several in a row, and they were all very mediocre.

After that, he tried some new materials and gradually mastered some rules. Phoenix feathers and elderberry are also a good combination, but the number of phoenixes is too small. And there are many uncertainties.

Sometimes it can create an extraordinary wand, and sometimes it seems ordinary. On the contrary, dragon nerves or dragon heartstrings are more suitable for elder, and the two can often bring unexpected effects.

As for other magical animals, he also made many attempts, such as the feathers of thunderbirds.

Wands made of this material are already very powerful, but they are more sensitive and uncontrollable than thunderbird feathers and other materials. Until now, not many wizards have been able to use that wand well.

Cyrus also wanted to know what kind of good things he had hidden. When Gregorovitch opened the exquisite box, a very gorgeous wand appeared in front of Cyrus.

"Also made of elder wood, the core comes from a very strong and special thunderbird."

Cyrus was attracted by it at the first sight. It was about twelve and a third inches long, straight, with distinct joints, and ended in two wings. The shaft was engraved with patterns like lightning.

He couldn't help but reach out and pick up the wand, and the power of the wand immediately resonated with him. He seemed to see a pair of dark wings of death spread out before his eyes, and the wand spewed sparks.

Gregorovitch was so excited, as if some long-cherished wish had finally come true: "This is my masterpiece! It's been almost a hundred years, and no one has been able to conquer it so far! " "Maybe Dumbledore can? But I guess he doesn't need to. I thought I would never see it find a suitable wizard in my lifetime, and thought maybe my descendants would have the opportunity to meet an outstanding child, but I didn't expect today - today!"

Gregorovitch took a deep breath, and his chest seemed to explode. His eyes, which were already a little cloudy, seemed to moisten, and he looked at Cyrus seriously, holding his shoulders with both hands.

"——Child, you will achieve great things!"

Cyrus did not comment on this.

"This wand, please."

"Thank you very much. Seventy-nine Galleons."

"Seventy-nine?" Cyrus's hand that was taking out the Galleon froze for a moment. "Isn't this too expensive?"

"Expensive? How is it expensive? It has been this price for so many years! Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. It is difficult to make a brand of magic wand. Sometimes you should look for the reasons in yourself. Has your salary increased over the years? Have you worked hard?"

Looking at Gregorovitch who was talking so eloquently, Cyrus resisted the urge to cast a killing curse and said through gritted teeth, "As far as I know, a wand at Ollivander's only costs seven Galleons."

When it came to the price, Gregorovitch's expression changed immediately.

"This is a preferential price for newly enrolled young wizards. Ollivander and Hogwarts have reached an agreement that the extra money will be paid by the school. New students of German Shepherd Strong will come to me to buy wands. But they are all pure bloods, not many of them are short of money, sir."

"Moreover, this wand is very special," Gregorovitch sighed and said, "I know you came to Germany specifically to buy a wand because you must have heard some rumors about me. I have never responded directly before, but now I can tell you - yes, those rumors are true!"

Gregorovitch paused and looked at Cyrus seriously and solemnly, as if expecting to see a look of surprise on his face.

But to his disappointment, Cyrus was very calm from beginning to end, as if a legend about the Elder Wand was far less surprising to him than seventy-nine Galleons.

But Gregorovitch had no choice but to continue.

"In the time between when I got the Elder Wand and when I lost it, I have been working on the secret of its power, which is why the wands I have made since then have always been more powerful than any other wand.

"This wand is the most powerful of all the replicas. Although its power is still far from that of the Old Wand, I think there are few wands in existence that can compare to it.

"Especially after I lost the Stick of Destiny, I never made such a powerful wand again."

"All right."

Although Cyrus felt that seventy-nine Galleons was indeed very expensive, he decided to buy the wand, considering that the power of this thunderbird feather wand was truly amazing, unlike a certain brand of eyebrow pencil that could be replaced at any time.

"Fortunately, I asked Malfoy for some money before coming to Germany, otherwise I really couldn't afford it."

Gregorovitch took the bag full of Galleons, weighed it a few times, and immediately smiled: "You will achieve something, kid!"

"Maybe..."

Cyrus put his wand into his sleeve, opened the door and left Gregorovitch's wand shop. At this time, the flow of people in this town began to increase. Adult wizards were holding hands with their well-dressed children to buy things for school. Not far from the wand shop were several shops selling robes, and further ahead was a pet shop...

It looks no different from Diagon Alley.

He squeezed his way through the crowd, intending to walk into a secluded alley and cast Animagus to leave.

Now that he had obtained the wand, there was nothing worth staying in this place.

Of course, he believed that there might be some ancient legends here, but Cyrus didn't know much about it. Instead of looking for these illusory things, it would be better to get what he already knew first.

For example - Deathly Hallows! (End of this chapter)
