Ollivander couldn't help but interrupt Darren when he saw Darren preparing to kiss his wand.
"What?"
Darren looked up curiously.
He didn't see anything wrong with Canglong knowing he would come.
There are wizards in this world, so maybe there really are immortals in the East!
"We have to buy it!"
Ollivander emphasized his words.
Darren rolled his eyes.
Do you think I'm a poor bastard?
As if no one can afford your magic wand!
"how much is it?"
Darren said generously.
"Ten thousand Galleons!"
What?
Darren's legs buckled, and he almost fell on Patsy.
Ollivander is probably planning to make back their dividends from him over the years, isn't he?
He remembered that Harry Potter's phoenix tail feather wand only cost 7 Galleons, so why did his cost 10,000?
He might be able to buy Madam Malkin's tailor shop for 10,000 Galleons!
"Oh, my poor little Darren, this is what Mr. Azure Dragon requested. This is a letter from my friend. You can take a look."
Ollivander knew Darren would react this way; to be honest, he had the same reaction when his friend made that request.
At the time, he was wondering, what kind of idiot would buy this thing?
Tsk.
Darren took the letter from Ollivander and saw the handwriting on it.
The long passages about cause and effect, retribution and reincarnation made him feel uneasy. He then discerned the words "want money" between the lines.
They're taking advantage of him!
Chapter Twenty-Three: He Made the Wrong Choice
Ollivander did not lie to Darren.
They did say they wanted 10,000 Galleons, and that the money wouldn't all go to Ollivander; half would go to Ollivander, and the other half would be mailed to them.
Ollivander said that Darren could choose not to buy it and instead opt for two other wands, which were very cheap.
His tone was fairly sincere.
It's clear that Darren wasn't being misled.
Darren sighed deeply; if he could, he would also like to put the wand down.
But the thought of that azure dragon made him shamefully tempted.
Damn, if it doesn't work, he'll definitely go back to that dragon to return it when he becomes rich!
"Patch, let's pay the bill..."
Darren looked at Patty with a pained expression and said.
Patty accepted it well.
When it was with its master James, it would often spend tens of thousands of Galleons.
Moreover, they bought impractical collectibles and the like.
Darren's little master has spent very little money on flowers.
The only problem is that it needs to prioritize making money.
After paying a price of 9999 Galleons and 493 Nat, Ollivander finally told Darren what the Azure Dragon had asked him to do.
is a book.
"Journey to the West"
Darren was waiting for Ollivander to tell him more, but Ollivander shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
"I have studied this book and know that it is an ancient novel from the East."
But I really don't understand what this means. I think maybe the Azure Dragon left this hole to make people pay 10,000 Galleons?
Ollivander's expression was mocking.
He clearly genuinely believes that's the truth.
After all, he had been working on this wand for ten years, and in the first few years, he often studied it.
He even learned Chinese for this, but it turned out to be of no use.
Darren secretly scorned him, thinking, "How could you possibly fully comprehend the profound depth of my Chinese language?"
One minute later.
Holding his ten thousand Galleons—no, his wand—Darren walked out looking completely drained.
As he walked out, Ollivander quickly wrote two letters and sent them out.
A letter was sent to the East, with an additional five thousand Galleons.
A letter was sent to Hogwarts.
……
Hogwarts.
In Dumbledore's office.
An owl dropped a letter.
An aged hand eagerly opened the letter.
Dear Albus:
I received the boy, and just as you might guess, he caused quite a stir in the wand shop; he almost took all my treasures with him.
You saw it correctly, it's all of them!
He caused all the wands to resonate, including some extremely evil ones.
I don't know whether this is good or bad; I can only leave the decision to you.
To my surprise, he had no interest in those powerful and evil wands; he only liked wands that symbolized goodness.
Perhaps he's trying to cultivate a kind-hearted persona?
Just kidding. No one would give up their powerful abilities for the sake of a certain persona, not even you.
Okay, Albus, forgive me. I'm not blaming you; I'm just too angry.
do you know?
To host this child, I will lose nearly 100,000 Galleons. Good heavens, just thinking about that number makes my heart ache.
Forget it, I don't want to talk about this anymore. It hurts me to the core whenever I bring it up.
Also, he took the wand I showed you a long time ago and paid 10,000 Galleons for it. I think he was ripped off; that wand wasn't worth that much at all.
But you know, wizards can choose their wands too, and he really liked that wand.
Alright, that's all for now. I need to take a good look at the Galleons I've stored in Gringotts. I might lose most of them as early as tomorrow.
Your friend: Garrick Ollivander
Dumbledore put down the envelope and wrote a reply very slowly.
Every word seemed to have been carefully chosen.
Finally, he finished writing his reply.
He summoned an owl and sent the letter to his friend, Ollivander.
"Dumbledore, is there something wrong with that child?"
A portrait on the wall suddenly asked a question.
Below her portrait is written: 1741-1768, Delis de Viente.
She was the only female headmistress at Hogwarts and a distinguished healer.
Saint Mungo also has her portrait hanging there.
Dumbledore looked at her and shook his head, saying in a light tone:
"No, Darren is perfectly fine. It's just that I don't want word to get out that he caused all the wands to vibrate."
