Chapter 421 Master Ollivander bravely confronts Voldemort!
Voldemort put on the hood of her wizard's robe, pulled the top of the hood down, and hid her green, noseless, red-eyed monster face in the shadows.
Then, together with Amicus, they went to Diagon Alley via the teleportation fireplace in Carlo Manor.
Dudley used his conceptual perception ability to keep Voldemort's location locked in, and his clone immediately teleported to catch up, always remaining hidden and lurking beside her.
A few minutes later, Amycus and Voldemort entered Ollivander's wand shop.
Currently, the new school year at Hogwarts has just begun, and Master Ollivander has just finished the busiest period of the year for receiving customers.
He didn't expect that on the second day of school, people would still come to visit.
And...not a minor wizard.
"Amicus Caro, elm wand, nine inches long, core made of avian feathers."
Upon first meeting, Master Ollivander clearly stated Amicus's name and wand information.
He stared at Amicus, as if sensing something, and soon, Master Ollivander continued with a displeased expression:
"I warned you before that wands made of elm wood are not exclusive to pure-blood wizards."
Since you insisted on believing the rumors and choosing an elm wand, I had no choice but to find you an elm wand with a core made of bird and snake feathers to match your 'swollen' nature and increase your compatibility with the wand.
As it turned out, time proved my initial judgment correct.
Elm wands are preferred by elegant wizards, have an excellent amplifying effect on skillful magic, and, more importantly, require the wand to be chosen by someone with an innate strong sense of self-respect.
The elm wand in your arms tells me that your dignity has almost completely vanished, and it can no longer accept you.
You're here to change your wand, right?
According to our shop policy, wizards like yourself who want to buy a new wand must return their old one.
Master Ollivander's attitude was very cold, and it was clear that he disliked Amycus Caro.
Furthermore, in terms of his style of conduct, the current Master Ollivander is more assertive and confident than ever before, which may stem from his breakthroughs in technique.
Upon entering the store, before Amykus could even speak, he was met with a barrage of technical critiques from Master Ollivander.
He was a bully who preyed on the weak and had a terrible temper, so of course he couldn't tolerate it. He was about to talk back and make a move when Voldemort stopped him.
Amykus immediately resumed his submissive demeanor.
"The wand's judgment was indeed correct."
Seeing Amicus's behavior, Master Ollivander added insult to injury.
Then, just as he was about to turn his gaze to ask if any of the wands in the shop had caught his eye, he suddenly noticed a mark on Voldemort's outstretched hand that he hated.
Master Ollivander's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
"Master Ollivander truly lives up to his reputation."
At this moment, Voldemort spoke, her face still hidden in the shadow of her hood, and said patiently, "However, we are not here to change Amicus's wand."
"I want you to choose a wand that is worthy of me."
"Get out! Get out! Someone like you who deliberately destroys wands doesn't deserve to use one! Whoever you are, get out of my shop!"
Master Ollivander was furious.
He discovered that this person, who spoke in an unusually harsh and secretive manner, had recently broken a wand, and the magical marks from when the wand core broke were still visible on the person's hand.
Amicus was stunned; he never expected Master Ollivander to be so brave.
In comparison, Master Ollivander's criticism of him for being bloated and lacking dignity is utterly insignificant.
"How dare you! How dare you speak to the Dark Lord like that?!"
Amicus swiftly drew his elm wand, aimed it at Master Ollivander, and prepared to cast a spell.
But this time, Amicus was stopped by Voldemort again.
Voldemort is currently in a rational state.
After stopping Amycus, she cast a Reverse Lock Charm to seal the doors of Ollivander's Wand Shop, and then cast another spell that blurred the windows of the wand shop, making it impossible to see clearly from the inside out.
Then, she slowly removed the hood from her head, revealing her ugly face that could stop the crying of babies in the magical world.
"You...you are the mysterious...Voldemort?"
The moment Master Ollivander saw Voldemort's face, he couldn't help but feel fear.
But he quickly regained his courage, and changed his mind halfway through his sentence, not calling him "Mysterious Man" but instead saying "Voldemort".
Voldemort's expression immediately turned ugly.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen.
Voldemort's reputation seems to have lost much of its luster, significantly diminishing his intimidating presence in the wizarding world.
But for the sake of her wand, she held back her anger and said to Master Ollivander, "Considering that you didn't know my identity just now, I can forgive your unintentional offense."
Now, quickly pick out a wand worthy of me! This is your last chance, if you don't want to die.
"It is the wand that chooses the wizard!"
Master Ollivander roared bravely.
Although he had learned from Dugg that Dudley had developed a magical method to make wands 'recognize their owners with blood', the Ollivander family's long-standing tradition still made him adhere to this principle.
Even if it's facing the terrifying Voldemort.
"Nonsense! You're just like the wandmakers of the Butt family! If wands choose wizards, then why do so many wands that have already chosen their masters submit to powerful wizards after being taken away?"
All you need to do is bring out your strongest wand! I'm powerful enough to tame any wand!
Voldemort's reason and patience were gradually running out. Her bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Master Ollivander, and she began to boast.
"The Butt family? You mean the Butt brothers, the two adopted sons of Isolde Thayer, the founder of the North American Ivory Moni Magic School?"
"As expected of someone from a prestigious family, their philosophy is exactly the same as our Ollivander family's."
Master Ollivander certainly knew that what Voldemort said was true; some wands could indeed yield to powerful wizards, but that was not normal and there was no need to discuss it.
He seized upon another key point in Voldemort's words and expressed a sense of mutual appreciation.
"You've even started to resonate with the Butt family! This is utterly outrageous!"
Voldemort no longer had the leisure to talk to Master Ollivander. She unleashed black energy from her right hand, intending to use a variant of the Imperius Curse to control Master Ollivander as well.
She knew all along that a wizard with such superb staff-making skills as Master Ollivander must possess mental strength and willpower far exceeding that of ordinary wizards, so the Imperius Curse might not be able to exert its full effect.
If you forcibly control Master Ollivander and she resists with her mental strength, damaging her independent consciousness, then even if you successfully plant the Imperishable Curse, you will only end up with a mentally impaired Master Ollivander who will be unable to help you choose a wand.
But now, Voldemort's patience has run out and her rationality has declined, so she can no longer care about such things.
A thick cloud of black energy left Voldemort's right hand and rushed straight towards Master Ollivander's face.
