Chapter 43

Ollivander didn't lie to Darren.

It really did say ten thousand Galleons, and this money wasn't all for Ollivander; half went to Ollivander, and the other half had to be mailed to them.

Ollivander said Darren didn't have to buy it and could choose the other two wands, which were very cheap.

His tone was quite sincere.

Clearly, he wasn't fooling Darren.

Darren sighed heavily; if he could, he would also want to put this wand down.

But thinking of the Azure Dragon's figure, he was shamefully tempted.

Damn, if it's not easy to use, when I get rich in the future, I'll definitely go find that dragon for a refund!

"Pocky, pay the bill..."

Darren said to Pocky with heartache.

Pocky accepted it well.

When it was with Master James, it was tens of thousands of Galleons at every turn.

And that was for buying impractical things like figurines.

Little Master Darren was spending very little.

The only problem was that it had to put earning money on the agenda.

After paying the price of 9999 Galleons and 493 Knuts, Ollivander finally told Darren the message the Azure Dragon had asked him to pass on.

It was a book.

"*Journey to the West*"

Darren was still waiting for Ollivander to tell him more information, but Ollivander shrugged, indicating he didn't know either.

"I've studied this book and know it's an ancient novel from the East.

But I really don't understand what it means; I think it might be a trap left by that Azure Dragon to make someone cough up ten thousand Galleons?"

Ollivander's expression was playful.

Clearly, he really thought that was the case.

After all, he had made this wand ten years ago, and for the first few years, he had studied it often.

For this reason, he even learned Chinese, but it was of no use.

Darren secretly despised him; how could you fully understand the breadth and depth of my Chinese?

One minute later.

Holding his ten thousand Galleons—no, wand—Darren walked out looking like he had been hollowed out.

And as he walked out, Ollivander quickly wrote two letters and sent them out.

One sent to the East, accompanied by five thousand Galleons.

One sent to Hogwarts.

Hogwarts.

In Dumbledore's office.

An owl dropped off a letter.

An aged hand opened the letter impatiently.

Dear Albus:

I received the child, and just as you guessed, he caused a great sensation in the wand shop; my treasures were almost all taken away by him.

You saw it right, all of them!

He resonated with all the wands, including some extremely evil ones.

I don't know if this is good or bad; I can only leave it to you to decide.

However, to my surprise, he was not interested in those powerful evil wands at all; he only liked some wands that symbolized kindness.

Perhaps he is building a kind persona?

Just a joke; it's impossible for anyone to give up powerful strength for a so-called persona, not even you.

Alright, Albus, forgive me; I'm not blaming you, I'm just too angry.

Do you know?

To receive this child, I will lose nearly one hundred thousand Galleons; my god, just thinking about this number makes my heart strongly resist.

Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this anymore; just mentioning it makes my heart ache like a knife.

Also, he took away that wand I showed you a long time ago, paying ten thousand Galleons; I think he was cheated, that wand isn't worth that much at all.

However, you understand, wizards can also choose wands, and he liked that wand very much.

Alright, that's it; I need to take a good look at the Galleons I have stored in Gringotts; perhaps by tomorrow at the earliest, I might lose most of them.

Your friend: Garrick Ollivander

Dumbledore put down the envelope and wrote a reply very slowly.

Every word seemed to be deliberated.

Finally, he finished the reply.

He summoned an owl and sent the letter to his friend, Ollivander.

"Dumbledore, is there a problem with that child?"

A portrait on the wall suddenly asked.

Below her portrait was written: 1741-1768, Dilys Derwent.

She was the only female headmistress of Hogwarts and also a prominent healer.

Her portrait also hangs in St. Mungo's.

Dumbledore looked at her and shook his head, saying in a light tone:

"Not at all; there is nothing wrong with Darren, it's just that I don't want the fact that he caused all the wands to vibrate to spread."
