The Strongest 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 saying to Dumbledore: Didn't you say: If you can find clues when you go shopping, why not wait for the shadow man to drink water and choke to death? Now here comes the clue, what do you say?

To be honest, such a smile seemed a bit harsh 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? Let us take a look."

The shopping guide was a little confused.

She couldn't quite understand why the old man was still advising that nobleman not to get a custom-made wand, but now he took the initiative to find out again.

But that's okay too.

It's good to be open.

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

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

...

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

Perhaps it was because Link and the others were equally curious about the Zangwill Wand Shop itself.

So along the way, he also gave a lot of introductions to Zangwill's wand shop for Link and others.

That's why Link and the others finally found out that this magical building with more than ten floors is actually the comprehensive headquarters of Zangwill's Wand Shop, which integrates wand making, sales and marketing, and administrative affairs.

The floors above the third floor are all office floors belonging to the staff of Zangwill's Wand Shop.

The rest of the ground floor is the reception hall and the showroom for mass-produced wands.

On the second floor is a separate box that provides customized services.

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

Those who are eligible to enter the third floor are either rich or noble. Except for the invited nobles, other guests need to spend more than 1,000 gold in their store in order to qualify. Galleon.

This is a very strict condition.

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

There are rich pure-blood wizards, but they are generally not willing to accept the new wand of Zangwill's 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 oppressing their compatriots.

This group of new wealthy class was eager to join the class circle formed by the old pure-blood wizard nobles, but they were rejected and wantonly despised.

So empty, they began to form their own circles, and started chasing luxury goods crazily to prove their status.

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

So, in Link's view, the Zangwill Wand Shop's membership strategy is really stupid.

But the statement given by the shopping guide is that their VIP reception room on the third floor is often full.

Thanks to the excellent environment, rich snacks and salon parties held from time to time,

Many pure-blood wizards who were tired from shopping on Lion Heart Street would come to sit down and drink a cup of black tea.

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

This actually hinted at Link that the price of the wand customization service he will carry out later will definitely exceed 1000 Galleons!

The shopping guide obviously said that on purpose.

This kind of rhetoric is their usual temptation.

People with high emotional intelligence can hear her subtext with one ear.

Then those who are confident are often indifferent, but those who are not confident or stingy are different.

Although this kind of person is not easy to get angry because the shopping guide didn't make it clear, he will show some dissatisfaction more or less.

This is more convenient for the shopping guides to estimate the probability of the transaction.

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

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

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

The group of them went directly to the second floor in a special guest magic elevator.

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

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

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

This bright architectural style made Emily's and old Kled's eyes light up instantly.

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

Even the out-of-the-ordinary clothing store on Diagon Alley, which is most popular with wealthy wizards, has an old-fashioned overall architectural style.

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

It's nothing if there is no comparison.

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

"Guests, please follow me."

The gentle reminder from the shopping guide made everyone wake up.

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

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes who looks like a Wall Street elite has long been waiting inside.

Seeing Link and others coming in, he hastily stepped forward, bowed and greeted with a bright smile.

Most importantly, he adopted wizarding etiquette, rather than the usual handshake that Muggles used, but wizards, especially pure-blood wizards, were quite disgusted with.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."

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

The shopping guide who had accompanied Link and the others had already gone to the next door to prepare refreshments, and brought them to Link and the 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 the Zangwill Wand Shop, VIPs can also directly call me Little Zangwill.

Of course, my name doesn't matter.

What really matters is our product. "

Little Zangwill blinked, smiled and took out an exquisite picture album from the cabinet behind him, "My high-end customization is only for the most noble wizards in this world, that is, guests like you! Here is Our work display album, each work in it is the proud work of our stick maker, and it will be exhibited here after obtaining the authorization of its user. You can take a look first.

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

For example, we customize the wand experience, as well as custom measurement services..."

There was little Zangwill chattering away.

Link and Dumbledore had already taken the album and began to rummage through it.

And this time, they had to admit it.

This shop called Zangwill's Wand Shop is indeed a small knife, which opened a big eye for them.

The weirdness of the wands in the picture book almost makes the word strange and strange be overshadowed.

Among them, the most conservative cases are also highly mutated on the basis of the original wand.

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

and many more!

Why does this beak wand look so familiar?

Isn't this Sakura's wand?

But... It seems that this series of comics has not been drawn yet, right?

Link's expression instantly became distorted.

Seeing this, little Zangwill immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Guest, do you have any questions?"

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

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

"Hey! Have you seen this wand before, my guest? It's a great honor for me!" 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 need one too?"

Link quickly shook his head and said:

"I don't like such pink ones."

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

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

"Riding a lance?" Link's expression was extremely weird. "You mean the kind of lance that was used by iron barrel knights in the Middle Ages, and it was generally three meters long?"

"Ah! Guest, you are really knowledgeable! You even know this kind of Muggle knowledge! That's right, it's this kind of lance!"

Little Zangwill said cheerfully, and by the way, he helped Link turn the album to the page of the spear and wand.

In the picture, there is an Arab with a big beard, holding a lance in his forehand, smiling triumphantly.

This made Link almost laugh out loud.

You know, the lance is the proud product of the cavalry of various European countries.

And Europeans and Arabs are absolute feuds.

The brains of the people that the two of them have fought around Jerusalem for hundreds of years are about to become stupid.

But now, an Arab specially made a European-style lance wand, and proudly put a magic portrait of himself holding a lance in the display album.

What if this is seen by Muggle wizards who still have feelings for Muggle society?

Moreover, ordinary wizards have to wave their wands to cast spells. Can such a big lance be waved?

Link is deeply skeptical.

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

No need to think about it, this is asking if Link is interested.

Link cleared his throat in embarrassment 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 Jr. to shut up, then drew out his ebony wand and pressed it against his temple.

Along with the slow movement of the wand, a ray of silver-white light was slowly pulled out of Link's brain by the tip of the wand.

This ray of light fluttered slowly in the air, and began to deform rapidly under the urging 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 surname, he should know that he is actually a member of the Zangwill family, and he is also an excellent wizard who has seen the world and received a good magic education.

It is precisely because of this that he can understand how amazing Link's move is.

You must know that just being able to extract your own memory from your mind is already an ability that can only be mastered by Occlumency Masters or Masters of Legilimency and Spell Recitation.

What's more, during the whole process from extracting the memory to directly embodying the memory into a specific picture without borrowing the Pensieve, Link did not chant spells or deliberately wave his wand.

This shows what?

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

In fact, this is not a rare thing.

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

Link is really too young!

Looking at this young and handsome face, I am afraid that someone who just graduated from a magic school will believe it?

Such a profound magical attainment at such a young age.

Is this the talent that a senior pure-blood wizard noble in the real country can possess?

Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for those great pure-blood wizard nobles 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, Link's inquiry woke him up.

He hastily closed his mouth that was opened wide due to excessive surprise, and said humbly:

"Forgive me, I was just shocked by your great strength. Oh! This is really rude, but may I take the liberty to ask, what is your surname?"

Link's face darkened.

The eyes of Dumbledore and others beside him were also fixed.

In order to prevent being noticed by the shadow people, their trip is absolutely confidential.

That is to say, they must never tell the surnames of Zangwill Jr. and others.

But if you don't say it, or use a fake name, it's too easy to be exposed, and it looks suspicious.

While Link and the others were thinking about countermeasures, Old Kled stood up suddenly, and said to Zangwill Jr. with a sneer:

"What kind of thing are you, and you still want to know the name of my young master? Heh! Even adding the Zangwill family behind you is not enough!"

The domineering side of these words even contained a strong taste of ridicule and contempt.

Link thinks that if he were to change himself to be Zangwill Jr., he would never be able to bear this kind of grievance.

If anyone dared to speak to him like that Link Foley.

Then the other party's brains would probably be punched out by him.

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

Little Zangwill blushed when he heard the words, and instead of turning his face, he straightened up and knelt down on one knee and said:

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

Link and Dumbledore exchanged glances, and the muscles on their faces twitched a little.

They really didn't expect that little Zangwill would have such a reaction.

But Link quickly adjusted his expression.

Because he figured it out.

The pure-blooded noble wizards of the country, when dealing with non-national pure-blooded wizards, probably have the same attitude as Old Kled.

This point should be understood just by looking at the Malfoy family.

And most people who are treated like this will be angry.

As for why little Zangwill has such a humble attitude, it can only be attributed to the French wizard kneeling for a long time and unable to stand up.

"Ahem——"

Link coughed twice, "Um, let's go back to the topic of daggers and wands."
