"Impossible, there's no wand more suited for you than this one. The flaming Phoenix is proof. Otherwise, how could such perfect casting be possible? The wand chooses the Wizard, not the Wizard chooses the wand. There's no mistake, this is the wand that suits you best."
Mr. Ollivander shouted loudly, as if extremely angry, his face red and his arms waving.
"Child, there's no mistake. Ollivander is the best wandmaker in the Eagle Kingdom. He wouldn't be wrong. Moreover, this wand is exactly like the first wand I ever used, the same material, the same core. It chose you."
Dumbledore came up to Augustus and said softly with a smile.
"That's right, this wand chose you. Look, after you gave it up, its colors even dimmed."
Ollivander gently stroked the wand, as if comforting a crying child, his tone so sour, as if Augustus had abandoned his daughter.
"Actually, there's no need to argue. Just bring me any other wand, and I can still cast that level of magic."
Augustus said.
Mr. Ollivander gave him a cold look, as if he were looking at a Troll, then he turned to Dumbledore, who stroked his beard and nodded to Mr. Ollivander.
Only then did Mr. Ollivander reluctantly take down a few more boxes from the shelf.
"If you can cast the same magic as before with these wands, then I'll believe you. Otherwise, you can only take the wand you just used."
Mr. Ollivander said, handing over a new wand.
"Applewood and Unicorn hair, 12 and three-quarters inches. This is completely different from the previous wand."
Augustus took the new wand handed to him by Ollivander, and without thinking, waved it and chanted directly.
"Incendio!"
A bright ball of flame erupted, instantly transforming into a flaming Phoenix, singing a loud song and circling above everyone's heads.
"This is impossible, how can this be? Try this one."
Mr. Ollivander shouted excitedly, looking as if he had seen a ghost, then immediately handed over a new wand.
Augustus canceled the spell and returned the old wand. Although his proficiency with this spell was already very high, if he accidentally burned down the shop, it would be a big joke. Even with Dumbledore by his side, it was better to be careful.
Augustus took the new wand, and then heard Mr. Ollivander say, "Acacia and Dragon heartstring, 10 inches, very powerful."
Augustus picked up the wand, waved it directly, and chanted, "Incendio!" It was the same result, only this time the flames of the Phoenix were noticeably more vigorous.
"This is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible."
Mr. Ollivander kept repeating this sentence, as if he were possessed, then suddenly rushed into his storeroom. A moment later, he rushed out again, holding a pile of dusty boxes.
"These are all practice pieces from my youth. Basically, no one can use them. Augustus, you try them. If you can still cast magic with them, I'll believe what you say."
Mr. Ollivander said, handing over a strange wand, then continued.
"Black maple, Troll's nose hair, very peculiar."
Upon hearing this, Augustus rolled his eyes in an adorable manner, thinking to himself, 'Troll's nose hair? This old man was quite a character in his youth to come up with such a brain-dead configuration.'
Augustus took the wand, waved it, and chanted.
"Incendio!"
It was still the same result, with no difference, except this time the flaming Phoenix appeared a bit clumsy.
But Mr. Ollivander still seemed unconvinced and had Augustus try more than a dozen wands. There was everything: phantom frog venom glands, horned serpent nerves, but without exception, Augustus was able to cast spells perfectly every time.
At this point, Mr. Ollivander was completely in a state of self-isolation, squatting in the corner and muttering to himself.
"Impossible, impossible, it shouldn't be like this."
Actually, Mr. Ollivander was right; the wand chooses the Wizard. However, Augustus's Incendio spell level was too high, so no matter what wand he used, he could cast the spell perfectly.
Of course, he couldn't explain this to them. The most important thing now was to find a way to locate that magic origin fragment.
After dealing with Mr. Ollivander, Augustus immediately called out in his mind.
"Xiao Mo, can you determine the form of the fragment now?"
"Host, if you're not using your brain, you can donate it to someone in need. A wand shop would definitely have a wand-shaped fragment, you idiot Host, I'm too lazy to bother with you (ノ ￣ ー ￣ ) ノ ノ ( º _ º ノ )."
After hearing this, Augustus's face was covered in black lines. Was he just being a little cautious? Was he a bit nervous on his first mission? Everyone gets nervous their first time, right?
Augustus composed himself and calmly recalled that Xiao Mo had said the magic origin fragment was fire-attributed and needed to resonate with fire-attributed magic. How could he convert his magic to fire-attributed?
Augustus thought for a long time, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. 'That's right, I have a cheat! I have a Phoenix!' He blamed Mr. Ollivander for messing around and making his head muddled.
"Haohuang!" Augustus shouted into the air.
A ball of fire ignited in the air, and then a large bird flew out of the flames. After circling once in the air, it landed steadily on Augustus's shoulder.
Augustus stroked Haohuang's back and communicated telepathically.
"Your Majesty, I'm relying on you to complete this arduous task. After it's done, I'll buy you any snacks you want."
After the last time in the Headmaster's Office, Augustus had already understood that his Phoenix was a tsundere Queen and a big foodie. To get her help, he had to go along with her.
Haohuang chirped happily, seemingly very satisfied with Augustus's attitude, and flew to circle above Augustus's head.
Augustus didn't waste any more words. He directly raised his hand, closed his eyes, and then used his magic to connect with Haohuang's magic, making their two magics merge into one.
When Augustus felt his magic and Haohuang's magic merge into one, and his magic returned to him, there was a hot, burning sensation. The conversion of his magic's attribute was complete.
"Incendio!"
Augustus chanted the spell again. This time, no flaming Phoenix appeared. Instead, a terrifying, violent fiery whirlwind emerged around Augustus.
The fiery whirlwind shot straight into the sky, directly burning away the roof of Ollivander's wand shop. Tiny little flames, carrying magic, crashed about, knocking the shelves awry. However, the flames were also constantly sensing their surroundings.
The fiery whirlwind lasted less than a minute. Finally, a small flame from the innermost warehouse brought back a message: it had found it.
