Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 60 Two wand cores?

In the Forbidden Forest, the centaur was still persuading Harry to leave as soon as possible. He said a lot, including the benefits of sucking unicorn blood.

"Unicorn blood can prolong life, but the price is also extremely painful. Continuing life in this way will result in a half-dead creature, a cursed life..."

The centaur stamped his hooves anxiously. He didn't know why, but since a while ago, he always felt that something was wrong around him, but he couldn't tell why.

The centaur believed that this feeling was definitely not an illusion or a coincidence, and his tone became more urgent.

"Unless you are using it merely to prolong your life so that you can drink something else, something that will completely restore your strength and vitality, something that will make you immortal..."

"Mr. Harry Potter, do you know what is hidden in the school?"

"The Philosopher's Stone!" Harry blurted out. "Of course—the Elixir of Life! But I don't understand who—"

"Don't you think there are people who have been waiting silently for so many years, longing to make a comeback? Who are clinging to life tightly, waiting for the opportunity?"

Harry's pupils contracted, as if an iron claw had gripped his heart. A strong wind even blew around him, blowing fallen leaves into the sky and making branches creak...

"No, it's dangerous!"

Before Harry could even react to what was happening, he was grabbed by a pair of strong arms.

The centaur stood in front of him, drawing his bow and arrow, his eyes fixed on the dead unicorn not far ahead and Xiren who had his back to them.

"What are you doing..." Harry poked his head out from behind and saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.

The dead unicorn was disappearing rapidly, like a clay sculpture soaked in water.

“This…what happened.”

"I don't know!" The centaur's voice was cold and serious.

"I know that after a unicorn dies, its body will merge into the earth in a short period of time, but it can't be this fast!"

"Wait, Xiren is still there!" At this time, Harry also saw Xiren next to the unicorn and was about to rush out.

He had just taken a step when he was caught again.

"Don't go over there!" The centaur dragged him back a big step.

His intuition told him that the unicorn's change was related to the boy, and the centaur trusted his intuition very much.

With just this one backward movement, the unicorn completely disappeared, leaving nothing behind, including the sharp horn on its head.

Then, a ray of silver-blue light appeared in the dark forbidden forest, like a cut-off stream, or like colorful wind... The centaurs had never seen such a magical sight.

It's so magical that it's even a little weird.

The silver-blue light hovered around the boy, finally sinking into a branch in his right hand.

hum!
It was as if there was a ripple, spreading rapidly around with the tree branch as the center.

Harry then noticed that several golden symbols appeared on Xiren's exposed wrist, flashing in the dark, as if he was wearing a gold bracelet with unique patterns.

And this bracelet looks a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

Oh, he remembered, the last time Xiren made a wand, his wrist was like this.

According to Xilun's explanation, this is a magic rune that can play an auxiliary role and is used to keep the wrist stable when making the wand core.

Making a wand?

Harry was startled by this sudden idea and shook his head.

It's impossible. He was sure that Xi Lun had not plucked the unicorn's tail hair just now. He didn't even have a wand core, so how could he make a magic wand?

"Xi Lun, wake up!" Because he was stopped by the centaur, he could only shout loudly to try to wake Xi Lun up.

However, his voice was quickly carried away by the increasingly violent wind. Xi Lun couldn't hear him at all, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't have had time to respond. The Whomping Willow's reaction was too intense. All he could do now was to do his utmost to transform the unicorn soul that had just entered into the staff into a core.

The process was smooth, or perhaps too smooth, easier than removing a single tail hair.

However, he discovered something strange. The unicorn's body also disappeared with his movement. So was it the unicorn's soul or the complete unicorn that just broke in?

However, it doesn't matter anymore. No matter which situation it is, it is unprecedented in the history of magic wands.

Xilun was excited and thrilled. He never expected that the unicorn would bring him such a big surprise.

As the magic runes were lit up one by one, the unicorn was completely integrated into the Whomping Willow. Xi Lun began to put the two cut wands together. As long as they were reassembled into a complete wand core, the magic wand would be completed.

But this step never succeeded.

Feeling the feedback from the Whomping Willow, Xi Lun frowned.

Missing the core?

What’s going on? What about the unicorn just now?

Click...

No, there's no time to think about that.

Seeing the fine crack on the willow stick, Xi Lun immediately reached into his pocket and rummaged around.

He had brought nothing with him this time. The only thing he could use as a wand core was two teeth about five inches long.

After getting the three-headed dog's teeth, Xilun was reluctant to use them.

He doesn't really want to use it now.

If he had a choice, Xilun would actually prefer to find another unicorn and pluck out a hair from its tail to use as the core of his wand. Although it wouldn't be the same one, it would at least be of the same kind.

Sadly, there is no choice now.

"Ow!"

It was as if a wild beast roared, and half of the creatures in the forbidden forest were alarmed.

More centaurs appeared around, whispering to each other.

Hagrid also came back and immediately protected Harry behind him.

He wanted to go to Rasilon, but just as he stretched out his hand, he was bumped by a silver-white creature.

At some point, three more unicorns appeared around, and the one that just hit Hagrid was one of them.

They surrounded Xiren and forbade anyone to approach.

"How strange," muttered the centaur.

"What's strange?" Harry asked subconsciously.

"Unicorns never came in packs before this," said the centaur, gazing longingly at the encircled branch of the Whomping Willow, or what wizards seemed to call a wand.

The centaurs could clearly feel the violent collision of two completely different auras above. One was the pure magic unique to the unicorn, and the other was completely opposite, filled with violence and rage.

However, this violent aura was much weaker than that of the unicorn and was quickly squeezed to the very end.

The specific manifestation is that two small fangs emerge from the left and right ends of the stick.

At the same time, the already formed staff body changed again, with an additional circle of spiraling golden lines, which looked exactly like the horn on a unicorn's head.
