I'm the man who's going to be the Grand Arcanist

This is a very lively street, there are wizards in robes walking on the road, there are witches wearing wide-shouldered dresses of the Pallant Empire, there are tall figures who cover themselves tightly, and there are also children who look like a few years old Almost as tall as a dwarf.People come and go, and everyone seems to be in a hurry.

"Welcome to Gust Street, cousin." Lucio said excitedly.

"Good boy, take your cousin to pick out the wand, I'm going to do something else."

"Aunt, won't you come with us?"

"Vitna, I'm going to pick a new magic pet. Let Lucio take you there, the owner of that wand shop is my old friend, and I won't let you suffer. Just wait for me in the shop." Phil handed a heavy money bag to Chen Yu.

"Hee hee, cousin, let's go. Uncle Kolber's wand shop is a century-old shop on Guster Street." Lucio put his arms around Chen Yu's shoulders and led him in one direction.

After turning a few blocks, Lucio took Chen Yu to a shop in a remote corner, and he saw the sign on it saying Kolber's Ancestral Wand Shop.Lucio pushed open the door and went in. The store looked chaotic, and suddenly a fat middle-aged man appeared from behind, with a shaved beard and a pleasant expression. His eyes lit up when he saw Lucio: "Oh, look who's here , It turned out to be the brat from the Phil family."

"Hello, Uncle Colber, my mother asked me to come and pick out two wands for beginners in magic."

"Aha, it's really time for you to come. I just bought a batch of new goods yesterday while the School of Magic is about to start." Kolber laughed, and in a blink of an eye he saw Chen Yu following behind: "How beautiful Boy, are you Lucio's friend?"

"Uncle, he is my cousin, his name is Weitner."

"It turned out to be your cousin. You are welcome to come to the shop. Today, when new customers come to the door, I will give you a [-]% discount. How about it? Little Lucio, am I very loyal?"

"Thank you so much, you saved me several gold coins, so I can go to Auntie Abby to buy some Leapfrog candy."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't tell your mother, this is a secret between the three of us." Kolber turned and went into the back storage room to pick out a wand.

"Lucio, tell me the secret to choosing a wand?"

"You are really asking the right person. I really read a lot of books in order to choose a good wand." Lucio's expression was very proud, so please praise me when it is full.

"You are amazing, dear cousin." Chen Yu simply cooperated.

"For mage apprentices, the wand is best made of pine or poplar. These two kinds of wood are mild and can conduct spells smoothly. The core of the wand is usually the mane of a horse or the feathers of a pulsatilla, my mother Just let me pick a pine tree wand. Because we will learn general spells when we first enter the school, there is no need to choose an exclusive wand for a certain law system."

"My aunt used a magic wand in front of me for the first time. Does a mage have to use the wand to release spells?" Chen Yu was a little puzzled.

"Uh... I don't know about this." Lucio scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's a really good question, young man." Kolber nodded approvingly, and continued: "In fact, when we mages cast spells, it's best to use a wand, because the magical creation of the wand can better control the power of the spell. You can freely strengthen or weaken the effect of spells. However, it is not necessary for high-level mages to release low-level magic, and a small number of mages who are born with strong soul power can even completely abandon the wand and cast spells as they like."

Last time, Mr. William and his aunt said that he was born with strong soul power. Could he try not to use a wand after learning magic? Chen Yu thought silently.At the same time, Kolber put a few boxes in his arms on the counter: "Look, these wands are all my new arrivals, and the quality is guaranteed to be top-notch, come and pick them yourself. "

Lucio volunteered to open the first box, which contained a 7-inch wand tightly protected with silk and cotton.After he took it out, he observed the appearance carefully: "Well... this should be made of locust wood, it doesn't suit me well, do you like it? Cousin"

Chen Yu shook his head. He looked at the wand in the second box. Lucio said it was made of pine wood. Both of them felt dissatisfied.

"Take it slowly, if you don't like it, I will show you a few more. The wand is not only about the shape and core, but the key is whether the user resonates and connects with the wand. You must know that although the wand is Dead things, but they also have souls, and they are actually choosing their own masters." Kolber winked at the two of them, showing no signs of embarrassment.

Then the two looked at the contents of the remaining three boxes, and they didn't seem to resonate with themselves.Then Kolber took out five more wands, and finally Lucio chose one made of pine wood, the core of which was the tail feather of an eagle.He was very satisfied with the 8-inch wand he had chosen, but Chen Yu was hesitant, thinking that it would be too troublesome for Mr. Kolber to pick and choose, but the wand could not be settled.

"Cousin, my mother said that she was the same as you when she first picked a wand, and none of the more than 30 wands was satisfactory. Later, she tried to choose out of thin air with her eyes closed, as if she could feel the wand's opinion in this way. Or you can try it too."

Chen Yu felt that a dead horse should be regarded as a living horse doctor. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the surrounding environment, and tried his best to ignore the breathing sounds of several people.Suddenly he opened his eyes in one direction, and pointed to the highest shelf on the shelf with his finger. Kolber climbed up the ladder, confirmed with Chen Yu, and took down a dusty box.Pfft... Kolber blew for a long time before revealing the original appearance of the box, an unpretentious black gift box.Chen Yu opened the box carefully.

"Wow, what a beautiful wand, cousin, you are really good at picking." Lucio saw a pure white wand lying in the sunspot, and a spiraling snake was carved on the hand part. The snake looked lifelike, as if It can fly into the air and hurt people at any time.The upper half is engraved with a sentence in letters that Lucio cannot read.

Chen Yu's eyes were fixed on the wand. Just now he felt that the wand was calling him, and it seemed to have some kind of connection with him, eager to take it away.

"Oh! The mystery is, I've never heard of such an exquisite wand!"

"Isn't this the wand you received?" Lucio was a little puzzled. Although the store looked messy, he understood that every wand in this store was bought by Mr. Kolber. He put the materials of each wand And features are clearly remembered.

"Well... I don't have any impression of him. Could it be that my father bought it? It makes sense. I'm afraid this wand has been in the store for at least 50 years." He looked at Chen Yu and asked, "Young man, can you let me Take it out and see what material it's made of?"

Chen Yu made a gesture of please, and looked at Kolber nervously, hoping to learn more information.After a long time, Kolber was still full of confusion. He shook his head: "I have followed my father to identify the material of wands since I was 9 years old, and then I took over this shop when I was 25 years old, but I couldn't tell what his material was. What. There is a rule in our business that we cannot break a wand without knowing the core, unless the owner allows it. So if you decide to buy it, I can't promise to tell you the material of the wand and the core."

"I'll buy it, Mr. Körber, and I beg your pardon for my faux pas, but I wish to study its origins and contents myself."

"Haha, don't be nervous, boy. I'll sell it to you if you want it, and you have to promise to tell me as soon as you know what material it is! And you have to understand that this wand may not be suitable for beginners, and the rules of our shop It will not be returned or exchanged outside the store!" Cooper smiled slyly.

Lucio next to him directly took out 450 gold leagues from his purse, and said, "Then I will give you the wand money for both of us. The total is 500 gold coins, but you promise to get a [-]% discount!"

"Lucio, you bastard is more of a cunning businessman than I am. [-]% off is [-]% off. Who made me make a promise? Old Kolbe is not one to break his word. Remember to patronize again next time ah."

The two left the wand shop satisfied, and Lucio took Chen Yu to Abby's Magical Candy Store to buy some Leapfrogs. After eating them, there was a strange taste in his mouth, some sour and some sweet. Listening to the bouncing in the mouth, it is like a frog jumping.Chen Yu felt that it was the same as the popping candy in his previous life, and it was quite delicious.

After Lucio ate the whole box of candies, he followed Chen Yu back to the wand shop with a happy face and waited for Phil to pick up the two at the door.

"My two little ones, have you all chosen the wands you are satisfied with?" Phil hugged the two teenagers, and kissed each of them.Lucio took out his wand as if taking credit, and Phil looked at it and thought it was pretty good.Turning his head to look at Chen Yu, he also let Phil take a closer look at the wand he had chosen.

"Hee hee, cousin, he also picked the wand based on his feeling, just like your mother at that time."

And Phil didn't seem to hear her son's words, she just looked at the gorgeous wand, frowning, she always felt as if she had seen a similar wand somewhere or in some book, and couldn't figure it out after a long time, Decided to give up first, and look for it from the study when I get home.

"It's a really good wand, it looks very suitable for you, Ventner." Phil patted his head soothingly, and then said, "Okay, let's go home, I'm really exhausted this time."

A few people returned to the uninhabited street where they had come, and silently chanted a few spells. After a while, the three of them appeared in the basement of Doller Manor, still feeling the familiar dizziness. Holding the wand box tightly in his arms.
