Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 308 Purebloods and Half-Bloods in the Magical World (17)

Stepping out of the robe shop, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu looked at An Ya, whose eyes were full of eager anticipation, then gave Shi Lu a look that said "good luck," before decisively separating from them.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are going to the wand shop to buy their own wands, which are exclusive to wizards. As for Anya, well, whatever, she probably wants to wander around the whole street!

Biwen was still with Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, while Bili was with Shi Lu and Anya. Shi Shaoyu even handed the ring he had just put on Shi Lu's hand to Shi Lu.

“Dad, if Mom buys too many things, you can just have Billie put them into this ring.”

Shi Lu took the ring with great interest, looking at it from left to right, eager to understand its workings. But when he looked up, well, his two eldest sons were nowhere to be seen, and his wife was nowhere to be found either. Fortunately, there was still Bili, who could help him find his wife.

Beverly pushed open the slightly dilapidated shop door. The gold lettering on the door had peeled off, and it read: Ollivander, making fine wands since 382 BC.

Ji Han and Shi Haoyu went inside one after the other. Even during the day, the store was still dimly lit, which was related to the large and small boxes piled up to the top.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Shi Shaoyu spoke first, and as soon as his voice fell, a thin old man with silver-white eyes popped out from behind the counter.

"Oh, hello little wizards, let me think... golden hair, blue eyes... oh, I'm sorry, I really can't remember. Child, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"

Ji Han took a small step forward.

"Hello sir, I am Handy Abbott. May I ask if you could help me choose a wand?"

The little old man, Ollivander, leaned forward excitedly.

“Oh, it’s from the Abbott family. I remember now, you’re Dirk’s child. Your sister, Hannah, just bought a wand from me.”

“Oh, right. You and Hannah are the same age, and you’re old enough to go to school. Which hand do you have dominant? And child, it’s not me choosing a wand for you, it’s the wand choosing you.”

Ji Han didn't want to communicate too much with this nagging store manager, so he simply said,

"Right hand, sir."

Then, the familiar measuring tape flew over, and another round of measurements ensued. Fortunately, this time the measuring tape was more reliable and quickly finished its task.

After Ollivander obtained Ji Han's data, he performed some unknown calculations, and then continued rambling on as he searched for a wand on the shelf behind him.

“This one… oh no, no… wait, let me see, try this one, child.”

Ji Han opened the box the other person handed him, and the wand flew away in a flash. Ji Han... okay, no need to try this one.

What followed was another flurry of frantic testing. Ollivander was busy with his hands and feet, while Ji Han focused solely on testing. After countless trials, Ollivander finally unearthed an antique box in some hidden corner.

"Yes, this is it! This time it'll definitely be right!"

As he spoke, he opened the box and handed the wand inside to Ji Han again. Unlike the resistance or anger he felt towards the previous wands, Ji Han felt an immediate sense of awe and wonder the moment he held this wand.

The magic within his body flowed unconsciously to his arm and was then released through the magic wand in his hand, instantly making the whole room sparkle with stars.

"That's it! Congratulations, child, you've won the favor of this wand! Twelve and a quarter inches, made from the nerve of an Eastern dragon of sycamore wood!"

"This was made by one of my great-grandfathers, I don't know which one. When he was looking for materials, he went to an ancient country in the East and accidentally obtained a piece of paulownia wood and a nerve that was hailed as a divine dragon by that country."

“My ancestors made two wands from this piece of sycamore wood and that nerve, little Abbot, the one you have is one of them.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were very pleased. It seemed they had found Shi Shaoyu's wand very quickly, and luckily they didn't have to go through a lengthy test again.

As the two had predicted, when Ollivander took out another wand with a core of sycamore wood dragon nerve, the wand flew automatically into Shi Shaoyu's hand as soon as the box was opened.

With a gentle wave of his magic wand, Shi Shaoyu created a bright full moon in Ji Han's still-dissipating starry sky. Indeed, it was a perfect match!

"Oh, what a magical twist of fate! Each wand is only 7 Galleons, handsome little wizards."

Ji Han quickly took out fourteen Galleons from his storage ring, placed them on the counter to express his gratitude, and then pulled Shi Shaoyu out of the wand shop. He simply couldn't stand Ollivander's nagging anymore.

After buying the wand, based on Anya's shopping time, they should still have a long time before meeting up. So, they carefully found a pharmacy and an alchemy shop, spending a large sum of Galleons at each of these shops before finally buying two large ice creams and sitting on chairs outside the ice cream shop, leisurely enjoying their treats.

However, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu miscalculated. They had only been sitting down for a short while when Shi Lu and An Ya returned looking unhappy. Ji Han glanced over there and then gestured with his chin toward Shi Shaoyu, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Mom, Dad, why are you back so soon? Did you run out of money? We have plenty left to give you two some help."

Shi Lu... he shouldn't be so poor that his wife can't afford to go shopping. Anya forced a smile at this moment.

"Good son, it's okay. Mom is just tired from shopping. Have you two finished buying everything? Let's go home after we're done."

Shi Lu stood behind An Ya, and kept winking and gesturing at Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. Seeing this, Ji Han could only ask Bi Wen and Bi Li to take them home first.

The familiar feeling of crowding returned, and after a moment of dizziness, the four people and the two little elves returned to No. 6 Rose Street. After returning home, Shi Lu and Anya still didn't say what had happened, but Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu learned the whole story of Anya and the others' shopping trip from Billie.

The matter is actually very simple. It's nothing more than that wizards look down on Muggles. So when Lu and Anya, two Muggles, went shopping, they were ridiculed by some shopkeepers and customers. Even Billie, who was with them, cursed them with vicious language.

These are long-standing issues of perception that cannot be corrected overnight.

What Ji Han was more curious about was that the earliest witch-extermination movement was so vigorous, with countless wizards being hunted down and killed by Muggles. In the end, those wizards had no choice but to retreat to a corner and establish a wizarding world. Where did these wizards get their prejudices from, and why do they look down on Muggles?
