Chapter 17: surprise

Views:

After eating the apples, Ke Wen sat idly on the dining chair, recalling the movie memories that came to mind at that time.

However, the memory images are not coherent, only a few scenes are still clear, and the rest may only be as clear as when they first entered Diagon Alley after seeing the real scene with their own eyes.

At this time, Ke Wen's left ear moved slightly, and he vaguely heard the sound of the doorbell of the wand shop. Continuing to concentrate, I gradually heard Ollivander's footsteps again.

Sit upright immediately and manage your facial expressions.

Soon, the door of the restaurant opened, and Ollivander appeared.

Slightly taken aback, Ollivander looked at the cleanly eaten food on the table, but he didn't expect Ke Wen to eat so fast.

But Ollivander didn't think much about it, he just thought that Kewen was very hungry.

"Let's eat something simple first, and I'll take you to eat something rich in the evening." Ollivander stood at the door and did not enter the restaurant.

"This, this is very good." Ke Wen responded against his will.

"Okay, now that there are no customers." Ollivander waved to Cowen: "Come and see what I bought for you."

"OK."

Corvin jumped off the high chair and followed Ollivander all the way back to the wand shop.

The two came to the bench in the reception area, Ollivander took the thick cardboard boxes from the shopping cart one by one, and introduced: "This is a crucible, these are test tubes and crystal bottles, and here are telescopes. , and finally this one is a balance.”

After opening all the boxes one by one and showing them to Cowen, Ollivander covered all the boxes again, and then took three thick oiled paper bags out of the shopping cart.

While unpacking the paper package, Ollivander continued to introduce to Cowen: "These are the books you need for the first semester after you enter school..."

"That's right." Ollivander paused and asked Ke Wen, "Can you read?"

"I..." Ke Wen hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "I don't know..."

"Then..." Ollivander continued to move, quickly took out a book, casually opened it and handed it to Ke Wen, "Let's take a look, do you recognize the words on it?"

Ke Wen raised his hand to take the book and looked at it, and found that it was only in normal English, so he nodded to Ollivander: "Yes sir, I can read."

"Okay, then read it." Ollivander suggested.

Cowen turned his gaze back to the book, and casually found a paragraph to read softly: "Emeric is a short-lived but extremely ferocious dark wizard, who had many influences in southern England in the early Middle Ages. He was defeated by his opponent in an extremely bloody duel." Egbert killed."

"Okay." Ollivander interrupted, and found another book from the pile of books: "Try this one again."

"Okay." Ke Wen closed the book in his hand, and only then did he realize that the book in his hand was called "History of Magic".

Putting "History of Magic" on the bench, Kewen took the new book from Ollivander and looked at the cover first. It said "Standard Spells, Elementary", written by Miranda Gosack.

Lowering his head slightly to hide the surprise and anticipation in his eyes, Ke Wen opened the book and slowly turned the pages page by page. The content on it made Ke Wen secretly frown.

"What's wrong?" Ollivander asked without seeing Ke Wen's reaction.

"No, nothing." Shaking his head slightly, Ke Wen stopped turning the pages, looked at the current page on the book, and began to read: "Yingadim... Leviosa. This spell is used to make the magic target appear to float..."

"Stop." Ollivander's surprised voice sounded.

"What did I do wrong, sir?" Ke Wen stopped reading the contents of the book, and looked up at Ollivander in confusion.

"You... know the spell above?" Ollivander's silver-white brows were slightly frowned, and his face was puzzled.

"Hmm... Wingadim... Leviosa is a word I haven't seen before, so I tried to pronounce it in Old English phonetics and Latin phonetics, but it didn't feel right, and finally I tried to read both phonetics. Only then did I read the word just now, did I read it wrong?"

Seeing the cautious expression on Ke Wen's face, Ollivander's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he said with a slightly surprised expression: "No, there is nothing wrong, but I didn't expect you to be so... knowledgeable. You read this spell Well... very accurate. But don't pause in the middle, read it in one breath."

"So that's the case." Ke Wen's expression suddenly changed, and then he said again: "Wingardim Leviosa."

As soon as the words fell, something happened that surprised Cowen and shocked Ollivander.

I saw that the store started to vibrate as if there was an earthquake, all light objects that were not fixed began to slowly float upwards, and the wand boxes fixed in the shelves all made a collision sound.

"My God!" Ollivander's eyes widened in shock.

However, as a glass lamp floated to the ceiling and collided and shattered, Ollivander suddenly came back to his senses, quickly took out his wand from his arms, pointed it into the air and yelled softly: "The spell stops!"

With the exit of Ollivander's spell, all kinds of things in the store that were floating upwards suddenly began to fall backwards.

At the same time, Ke Wen, who was sluggish, also felt that the feeling of "connecting with everything" that had just appeared suddenly was cut off.

"Floating!" At this time, Ollivander cast another spell, and the same 'Yingardim Leviosa' as Kewen sipped lightly.

Immediately, all the falling things seemed to have fallen into a state of weightlessness, and with the guidance of Ollivander's wand, they fell back to their original places one by one.

"It's back to normal."

Finally, Ollivander casts a new spell again, pointing at the shattered glass lampshade. As if going back in time, the lampshade was restored to its original state.

"magic… "

The scene in front of him made Ke Wen forget to maintain the character design for a while, and he couldn't help sighing.

"No." In this regard, Ollivander shook his head, and looked at Ke Wen again with a sigh: "You are the most amazing one..."

Hearing this, Ke Wen was startled, and quickly adjusted his facial expression, looking at Ollivander cautiously with a gesture of 'doing something wrong'.

Ollivander stared fixedly at Ke Wen. For a long time, he didn't know what was fighting between heaven and man in his heart. After sighing lightly, his tone was unprecedentedly gentle and enthusiastic: "Forget about other things, it seems that we have to choose you first. Nice wand."

Without waiting for Cowen to answer, Ollivander immediately walked to the cashier, and at the same time, said in a scientific voice: "In the eyes of most people, the wand is used to enhance the ability of wizards to cast spells. But only a few people have a deep understanding. Wands also help wizards control magic that they are temporarily out of control."

Picking up the tape measure from the cash register, Ollivander turned to look at Cowen with a smile: "Come on, let's start by measuring you..."
