The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 577 Kneeling for a Long Time

Link and Dumbledore looked at each other.

Both of them laughed.

The difference is that there is something different in Link's smile.

It's like he's saying to Dumbledore: Didn't you say that if you can get clues by going shopping, why not wait for the Shadow Man to choke to death on drinking water?Now the clue is here, what do you say?

To be honest, such a smile was really dazzling to Dumbledore.

Fortunately, he was also thick-skinned, so he coughed and turned to the shopping guide and said:

"What is the specific process of customizing a wand? Take us to see it."

The shopping guide was a little confused.

She couldn't quite understand why the old man was still suggesting that the noble man not get a custom-made wand, but now he took the initiative to learn more about it.

But that's okay too.

It's a good thing to be open.

"No problem, then, please come with me."

The shopping guide bowed and made a greeting gesture, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

……

This broad-minded shopping guide is definitely a professional shopping guide.

Perhaps they saw that Link and others were also curious about the Zangwill Wand Shop itself.

So along the way, he also made many introductions to the Zangwill Wand Shop for Link and others.

It was also because of this that Link and other talents finally learned that this magical building with more than ten floors was actually the comprehensive headquarters of Zangwill Wand Shop integrating wand production, sales and marketing, and administrative affairs.

The floors above the third floor are all office floors for the staff of Zangwill Wand Shop.

The remaining first floor is a reception hall and a display room for mass-produced wands.

The second floor is a partitioned box that provides customized services.

The third floor is a reception room for VIPs to rest.

Those who are qualified to enter the third floor must be rich or noble. Except for the invited nobles of the country, other guests who want to be qualified must not only be verified as pure blood, but also need to spend more than 1000 gold in their store. Galleons.

This is a very stringent condition.

After all, in the current magical world, pure-blood wizards have generally declined.

There are rich pure-blood wizards, but they are generally not willing to accept new wands like Zangwill Wand Shop.

Those who are really willing to spend money now are actually half-bloods and pure Muggle wizards who have made a fortune by exploiting their compatriots.

This newly wealthy class was eager to join the class circle formed by the old pure-blood wizard nobles, but they were shut out and wantonly despised.

Therefore, they were empty and began to form their own circles, and began to madly pursue luxury goods to prove their status.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of many old pure-blood wizard nobles, their behavior is completely like the nouveau riche!

Therefore, in Link's opinion, Zangwill Wand Shop's membership strategy is really stupid.

However, the shopping guide said that their VIP reception room on the third floor is often full.

Thanks to the excellent environment, rich snacks and salon gatherings held from time to time, many pure-blood wizards who are tired of shopping on Lion Heart Street will come up to sit and drink a cup of black tea.

The shopping guide also suggested that if Link was interested, he could go up and have a sit later.

This is actually a hint to Link that the price of the wand customization service he will perform later will definitely exceed 1000 gold galleons!

The shopping guide obviously said this on purpose.

This kind of talk is their usual temptation.

People with high emotional intelligence can hear her hidden meaning at a glance.

Later, people who are confident tend to be indifferent, but those who are not confident or are stingy are different.

Although this kind of people are not easy to get angry because the shopping guide did not explain it clearly, they will still show some dissatisfaction to some extent.

This makes it easier for shopping guides to estimate the probability of a transaction.

Link, on the other hand, is the type who obviously understands such hints but remains indifferent to them.

This made the shopping guide couldn't help but open up his mind a little higher.

But it's a pity that Link is still indifferent to this.

The group of them took the special passenger magic elevator directly to the second floor.

The moment the elevator door opened automatically, everyone discovered that the space on the second floor was even larger than that on the first floor.

And its overall decoration adopts the template of the commercial office building in Link's previous life.

Under the wrap of giant floor-to-ceiling windows, an entire large flat floor is divided into multiple areas for different purposes.

This bright architectural style made Emily and Old Kled's eyes instantly brighten.

After all, such a style is quite rare to see in the country.

Even the extraordinary clothing store in Diagon Alley, which is most popular among wealthy wizards, has an ancient architectural style.

Although this style is quaint and elegant, the lighting is generally not good.

If there is no comparison, it's nothing.

But compared with the scene now, the architectural style over there seems a bit depressing.

"Guests, please follow me."

The shopping guide's gentle reminder made everyone wake up.

Under her leadership, Link and others walked straight into a partitioned reception room.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather suit who looked like a Wall Street elite was already waiting inside.

Seeing Link and others coming in, he hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and said hello with a bright smile.

The most important thing is that he used wizard etiquette, rather than the handshake ceremony commonly used by Muggles, but which wizards, especially pure-blood wizards, are quite disgusted with.

"Dear distinguished guests, please take a seat."

The man invited everyone to sit down on the sofa nearby, while he stood and maintained a humble posture with a slight bow.

The shopping guide who originally accompanied Link and others had already gone next door to prepare refreshments and brought them to Link and others.

It wasn't until all preparations were made that the middle-aged man smiled and said:

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Russell Zangwill, the senior account manager of Zangwill Wand Shop. The distinguished guests can also call me Little Zangwill directly.

Of course, my name doesn't matter.

What really matters is our products. "

Little Zangwill blinked, smiled and took out an exquisite picture album from the cabinet behind him, "My high-end customization is specially designed to serve the most noble wizards in the world, that is, guests like you! Here is In our work exhibition album, every work in it is the proud work of our staff makers and is only displayed here with the authorization of its users. You can take a look first.

Of course, at the same time, I will also give you further explanations.

For example, we customize the experience of using the wand, as well as customized measurement services..."

Little Zangwill was chattering away there.

Link and Dumbledore had already taken the album and started looking through it.

But this time, they had to admit it.

This shop called Zangwill Wand Shop really opened their eyes with a small knife.

The wands in the album are so weird that the word "bizarre" eclipses them all.

Among them, the most conservative cases are highly mutated based on the original wand.

For example, there is a pink beak wand with small wings, drilled holes that can be tied to the hand with a rope, teeth that can bite, and a meter long pink beak...

and many more!

Why does this beak wand look so familiar?

Isn't this Sakura's wand?

But...it seems like this series of comics hasn't been drawn yet, right?

Link's expression instantly became distorted.

Upon seeing this, little Zangwill immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Guest, do you have any questions?"

Link looked up at the other person, pointed to the beak wand on the album and said:

"This wand... was customized by Neon, right?"

"Hey! Guest, have you seen this wand? This really makes me feel extremely honored!" Little Zangwill said exaggeratedly, "This wand is indeed a magic wand made for him by the great wizard Clow Reed. Junior Hong made it custom-made, do you also need one?"

Link quickly shook his head and said:

"I don't like being so pink."

"That's okay, we have many other wand shapes!"

Little Zangwill continued to say excitedly, "For example, sword-shaped, axe-shaped, lance-shaped... these are guaranteed to be powerful enough!"

"Lance?" Link's expression was extremely strange, "Are you talking about the kind of lance used by barrel knights in the Middle Ages, which is generally three meters long?"

"Ah! Guest, you are really knowledgeable! You actually know this kind of Muggle knowledge! Yes, it is this kind of lance!"

Little Zangwill said cheerfully, and by the way, he helped Link turn the picture book to the page of the lance and wand.

In the picture, there is an Arab with a big beard, holding a lance in his hand and smiling proudly.

This almost made Link laugh out loud.

You know, lances are the proud product of cavalry from various European countries.

Europeans and Arabs are absolute feuds.

The people these two families fought around Jerusalem for hundreds of years have almost lost their brains.

But now, an Arab has specially customized a European-style lance wand, and proudly and proudly put a magical portrait of himself holding a lance in the exhibition album.

What if this was seen by a Muggle wizard who still had feelings for Muggle society?

Moreover, ordinary wizards need to wave their wands to cast spells. Can such a large lance be wielded?

Link deeply doubted this.

While Link was complaining madly in his heart, little Zangwill was staring at Link with the eyes of a puppy looking at its master.

You don't need to think about it to know that this is asking Link if he is interested.

Link cleared his throat slightly embarrassed and said:

"These weapon-shaped wands are too powerful and not suitable for me. After all, I am not Gandalf."

Little Zangwill naturally didn't know who Gandalf was, but he didn't ask, and just continued:

"Then you..."

Link waved his hand to signal Zangwill to shut up, then took out the ebony wand and put it against his temple.

As the wand slowly moved, a silvery-white light strip was slowly pulled out of Link's head by the tip of the wand.

This ray of light slowly danced in the air, and began to rapidly transform under the influence of Link's magic power, and finally turned into a sterling silver dagger inlaid with a huge emerald.

Little Zangwill was stunned.

Just from his last name, you should know that he is actually a member of the Zangwill family, and he is also an outstanding wizard who has seen the world and received a good magic education.

It was precisely because of this that he could understand how amazing Link's skill was.

You must know that just being able to extract one's own memories from the mind is an ability that can only be mastered by masters of Occlumency or Legilimency.

What's more, during the entire process from Link extracting the memory to directly embodying this memory into a specific picture without borrowing a pensieve, there was no incantation or deliberate waving of the wand.

This shows what?

This shows that Link is not only a master of Occlumency/Legilimency, but also a senior master who has studied silent spells to a very deep level!

It turns out that this is actually not a rare thing.

After all, people who can practice Occlumency and Legilimency to the master level are probably famous wizards, and it is normal to be able to cast spells silently.

But Link is too young!

Look at this young and handsome face. I’m afraid some people would believe me if I just graduated from a magic school, right?

He has such profound magical attainments at such a young age.

Is this the talent that the real senior pure-blood wizard nobles of the country can possess?

Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for those great pure-blood wizard nobles to be able to stand for thousands of years!

Our French wizarding family is still far behind!

"Um... are you okay?"

Just when little Zangwill was fantasizing wildly in his heart, Link's question woke him up.

He hurriedly closed his mouth that was open due to excessive surprise, and said humbly:

"Please forgive me, I was just shocked by your great strength. Oh! This is really rude, but can you please allow me to take the liberty of asking, what is your last name?"

Link's face darkened.

Dumbledore and the others beside him also had their eyes fixed.

In order to prevent being discovered by the shadow people, their trip was kept strictly confidential.

In other words, they must not tell little Zangwill the surnames of himself and others.

But if you don't say it, or use a false name, it will be too easy to expose, and it will also look suspicious.

While Link and others were thinking about countermeasures, old Kled suddenly stood up and said to little Zangwill with a sneer:

"Who do you think you are? You still want to know the name of my young master? Ha! Even if you include the Zangwill family behind you, you are not qualified!"

The words he spoke were domineering and even had a strong flavor of ridicule and contempt.

Link thought that if he were little Zangwill, he would never be able to bear this kind of grievance.

If anyone dared speak to him Link Foley like that.

The opponent's brains would probably be beaten out by him.

However, the scene where Link expected little Zangwill to become angry did not appear.

Little Zangwill's face turned red when he heard this, and then instead of turning his face, he straightened up and knelt down on one knee and said:

"I'm so sorry, Master, I was too reckless, please forgive me!"

Link and Dumbledore exchanged glances, and the muscles on both of their faces twitched.

They really didn't expect little Zangwill to react like this.

However, Link quickly adjusted his expression.

Because he figured it out.

The pure-blood aristocratic wizards of the Yu Kingdom generally have the same attitude as Old Krei when it comes to treating non-resident pure-blood wizards.

You should understand this just by looking at the Malfoy family.

And most people who are treated like this will also get angry.

As for why little Zangwill has such a humble attitude, it can only be attributed to the fact that the French wizard has been kneeling for a long time and cannot stand up.

"Cough-cough-"

Link coughed twice and said, "Well, let's continue back to the topic of daggers and wands."
