Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

It is indeed a verifiable fact that the wands crafted by Mr. Ollivander possess artificial intelligence.

Hao Fang remembers very clearly that in the original plot, the wands of Harry and Voldemort resonated, causing the death records within Voldemort's wand to manifest in reality, materializing illusions of all those he had killed, as if they were real.

From this perspective, the wands of Harry and Voldemort were undoubtedly Mr. Ollivander's pinnacle creations, outstanding works far surpassing his other wands. The level of artificial intelligence they possessed must have been quite high.

If Voldemort's wand itself did not possess such advanced artificial intelligence applications, it could not have continuously retained such death records.

Hao Fang had to admit that the six second-hand wands he had purchased were all made by Mr. Ollivander.

And after four of them were combined, the resulting new artificial intelligence might have been upgraded as well.

Hao Fang himself had tried it, and he truly had no affinity with this combined wand, unable to achieve complete resonance with it.

But to say there was absolutely no reaction didn't seem quite right either.

After all, this wand was born because of him, and the "Minecraft Editor" was integrated with him, so there would ultimately be some usage permissions.

However, Hao Fang also knew that after all, it was a forced fusion of four different wands, so how could it truly be perfect enough to match him perfectly?

It could be used, but there was always an awkward feeling.

His wand was not the Elder Wand after all, and it could not truly achieve a high degree of compatibility with anyone, to be used by anyone.

Therefore, regardless of Mr. Ollivander's thoughts, Hao Fang said quite sincerely, "The real purpose of my visit this time is actually to have Mr. Ollivander modify this wand for me, to make it more compatible with me."

Although this was just a temporary idea, it was a genuine one.

Mr. Ollivander simply shook his head and smiled wryly, "Regardless of why you came, I can only say that this wand seems quite perfect to me, and I have no ability to modify it at all."

This wand was simply perfect, as if it was naturally meant to be this way.

Mr. Ollivander had no idea how it was made.

Hao Fang deliberately asked, "So, do you still want to study this wand after all?"

Obviously, he had some speculation about Mr. Ollivander's thoughts.

"Oh?" Mr. Ollivander's eyes lit up and said, "You… you are actually willing to give me such a precious wand to study?"

This was something he never expected!

Because this kind of wand is a treasure no matter where it is placed, how could it be given to others for research?

Therefore, Mr. Ollivander had been constantly probing before, just wanting to get his hands on this wand!

But now… it seems there really is a chance?

"It's nothing to give it to you for research." Hao Fang naturally didn't care, after all, this was just something he casually synthesized, and he could naturally get something even better if he wanted to.

"However, if I am to give it to you for research… I have to propose my own conditions!" He smiled like a businessman.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple…" Mr. Ollivander muttered, "Okay, for the sake of this perfect wand… you can say it, as long as it's a request I can fulfill, then feel free to propose it."

Hao Fang pondered, "I only want to know one thing now… have you ever tried to imitate the Elder Wand?"

"The Elder Wand?" Mr. Ollivander, who was originally very interested, suddenly became melancholy and sighed, "Our family has been studying the Elder Wand for generations, but we have never successfully imitated it… I myself have tried it…"

"My first condition is that all the failed imitations made while researching the Elder Wand should be given to me." Hao Fang took the opportunity to make this request.

"But—" Mr. Ollivander hesitated, "Our Ollivander family has always had a rule, that is, even if we destroy them, we will not give the failed products to others."

"But, you should still be fascinated by the Elder Wand, right?" Hao Fang deliberately said, "Because the Elder Wand is in line with your concept of 'the wand chooses the wizard' to the extreme. Except for the master it has chosen, others will be backlashed when using this wand…"

That's right, the Elder Wand is indeed the one that truly achieves the concept of the wand choosing the wizard to the extreme.

Although it only recognizes the strongest, and those who use it and still lose are naturally not qualified to hold it.

The power of the Elder Wand is that it can be used by anyone. It can indeed generate a strong affinity with all wizards, but only the strongest are qualified to be recognized by it.

"So, even if your family has been imitating it, and has never really succeeded. But I think that your ancestors, and you yourself… must be reluctant to destroy these failed products." Hao Fang smiled, "And now, there is an opportunity for you to break through, are you really going to miss it because of so-called persistence?"

"Yes, yes, you guessed it completely." Mr. Ollivander said unhappily, "Elderwood, Thestral tail hair, one after another, these plural antiques… if you want them, you can have them all."

He walked into the store, seemed to rummage through it for a while, and finally walked out again, solemnly handing a box to Hao Fang's hand.

"This is it, the failed imitations of the Elder Wand that our family has made for more than three hundred years, through several generations of ancestors… including my own…" Mr. Ollivander sighed, "And now, they all belong to you."

After opening the box, Hao Fang's heart stirred slightly: "One, two, three, four, there are exactly four? Four… this is really a good number…"

Obviously, this number is extremely normal, after all, even if people imitate it for generations, it is not necessary for every generation to do so, and there will definitely be more inferior products than this, so they are really destroyed.

Being able to keep four has already surprised Hao Fang.

Hao Fang could feel that each of these four Elder Wand imitations was only a little stronger than ordinary wands, but they just happened to have a stronger resonance with him.

As he expected, the material of the Elder Wand, because it uses things related to death and the soul, has a high affinity with every wizard, and it does not have the limitations like the Elder Wand.

This may be another reason why Mr. Ollivander is unwilling to give it up, because it would violate his concept of "the wand chooses the wizard."

Therefore, no matter how strong or weak these imitations are, they will only be failed products.

In any case, Hao Fang obviously guessed right.

As long as it is a human being, then they will definitely die, and there will definitely be a soul.

The Elder Wand can be said to be the wand that directly points to the root, and the soul is indeed the source of the wizard's power.

These so-called failed products are exactly what he wants most.

"I am very satisfied with the things…" Hao Fang smiled directly, "In order to express my gratitude… I will give you my wand directly in the near future."

"What did you say? Are you sure you said give, not lend?" Mr. Ollivander simply couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right, I really want to give it to you…" Hao Fang smiled mysteriously, "I dare say, you haven't really seen through the true secret of my wand… try using it to cast a spell and see…"
