Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Fang Rui: "…………"

Ollivander also noticed the problem and quickly snatched the wand from Fang Rui's hand: "Not this one, try this one..."

"This isn't it either, try this one..."

"This...this..."

Half an hour later, Ollivander looked at the pile of boxes, somewhat exasperated. He hadn't encountered such a troublesome customer in a long time.

Moreover, this guest is not so easily satisfied; someone who submits to so many wands is obviously no ordinary person.

An ordinary wand is probably not possible; a more unusual combination is needed.

“This guest…” Ollivander was about to explain when Fang Rui interrupted him, “I’ll provide the materials, and you make me a wand.”

“Of course, no problem, sir.” Ollivander readily agreed, then his expression froze when he looked at the materials Fang Rui had provided…

'What is this thing?!'

Ollivander roared inwardly as he stared at the three pieces of material laid out on the table.

Tree branches exuding a rotten smell, two kinds of hair radiating both terror and magic...

This made him have no desire to get close to them; rather, he wanted to stay away.

"Can it be done?"

Although he wanted to answer "yes," Ollivander followed his heart and said, "No."

His instincts told him not to touch the branches or the hair.

"But I can give it a try, I just need to prepare some props..."

But his craftsmanship tells us, "Don't give up, be willing to try new things."

"Is this so..."

Fang Rui nodded gently to show his understanding: "I'll help you. These things are very dangerous."

Ollivander: "…………" So you know it's dangerous!

While assisting Ollivander in making the wand, Fang Rui used his clairvoyance and divination to search for Nicole Mailer.

To be fair, as the most powerful alchemist of the current era, Nico Mellor is exceptionally good at hiding. He uses more than ten different methods of concealment, and you might not even be able to find him at his doorstep...

However, Fang Rui made some effort to meet Nico Mellor. After discussing it with him for a while, the two sides reached an agreement to exchange alchemical knowledge.

So Nicole Mailer and his wife temporarily moved to Ollivander's Wand Shop.

In the workshop, which had been expanded by the Seamless Stretch Charm, Ollivander, Fang Rui, and Nicole Mailer gathered around the workbench.

"It would be better to coat the surface of the wand with a layer of metal and then engrave some runes. This can increase the power of the spells cast by the wand and reduce the corrosive effects of the wand material," Nicole Mailer suggested.

"Although the slightest bit of corrosion to those materials is negligible to me, thank you for your suggestion," Fang Rui said.

“Excellent suggestion. Other wands can do this too,” Ollivander said. “Any rune recommendations?”

"Runes that amplify the power of spells are essential; the rest are up to personal choice."

As Nico Mellor spoke, he began selecting materials. Ordinary materials would not be enough to prevent the wand from being corrupted; high-quality materials were needed, preferably with a Philosopher's Stone fragment embedded in it to counteract the corrosive power of decay with life force and, incidentally, convert the magic emanating from the wand core.

After the wand was finished, he and Fang Rui needed to go to Hogwarts to use the Philosopher's Stone to complete the final step.

The three of them discussed it and finished making the magic wand.

Fang Rui tried it out, gently waving his wand, and a gust of wind blew out from the tip of the wand.

“Excellent!” Ollivander clapped his hands, his face beaming with joy; improving one’s skills was an exciting thing.

After a brief celebration, Fang Rui and the others set off for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, instead of entering Hogwarts directly, the three of them traveled slowly along a magic carpet...

The reason? Nico Mailer is a bit fragile and doesn't want to use a tiring method of transportation.

"So...why not research potions that strengthen bones?"

When Fang Rui asked this question, Nicole Mailer replied, "It's not that I haven't done any research. I have several relevant prescriptions... I usually drink a bottle when I go out."

"Is that so..." Fang Rui nodded slightly.

Chatting casually, the three arrived near Hogwarts, at the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.

"Hmm, it's pretty ordinary!"

After surveying the village for a while, Fang Rui gave this assessment.

Nico Mellor smiled, said nothing, and used the Guardian Charm to transmit the message.

Chapter 344 Temporary Residence at Hogwarts

Hogsmeade, or simply Hogsmeade, is the only village in England where everyone is a wizard. It has many shops and pubs, as well as a train station.

While waiting for Dumbledore, Nico Mellor and the others did not stand in the cold wind, but went to the famous Lady Patiff's Tea House to have some hot tea.

Lady Patif's Tea House is located on a street corner on the main street of Hogsmeade Village. The interior decoration is quite girlish, with all sorts of tacky lace decorations, which made Fang Rui feel a little... uncomfortable.

As for Nico Meller and his wife Perena, they showed no unusual expressions; their faces were filled with reminiscence, as if they were recalling the feeling of their first love.

Fang Rui: "…………" So… who decided to come to Madam Patif's Tea House?

Oh, it's me!

That's okay~

After mentally complaining for a moment, Fang Rui picked up his teacup and took a sip, the sweet tea spreading across his taste buds.

The taste was just average.

Setting down his teacup, Fang Rui turned his gaze toward the entrance of the teahouse, just in time to see Dumbledore push the door open and enter.

"Here?" The sound of the shop door opening startled Nicolas Flamel, who was also reminiscing about the past. He looked up and met Dumbledore's gaze as he looked around, then raised his hand and called out.

"Nicole, what are you doing here?" Dumbledore's tone was curious, then turned serious. "Has something unexpected happened?"

“An unexpected situation? You could say that…” Nicolas Flamel said with a smile. “Sit down first, and we’ll talk about it slowly.”

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore sat down at the coffee table, his serious gaze fixed on Nicolas Flamel, awaiting his answer.

Fang Rui, on the other hand, was sizing up Albus Dumbledore. He was tall and thin, with a prominent wizarding aura, flowing silver-white hair and beard, a long hooked nose, and sharp, bright blue eyes behind crescent-shaped glasses.

Immediately, a list of Dumbledore's honorary titles flashed through his mind: Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, widely regarded as the greatest wizard of his time, holder of the Order of Merlin, First Class, founder and Keeper of the Secrets of the Order of the Phoenix, President of the International Confederation of Magic, Chief Wizard of Wizengamor...

Simply put, he is one of the most famous and well-known figures of our time, and one of the strongest.

"Hello." Noticing Fang Rui's gaze, Dumbledore turned his head and said with a smile, his expression very amiable.

Fang Rui replied, "Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore, you can call me Fang Rui."

'Fang Rui?'

Upon hearing the name, Dumbledore raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised. Was it a wizard from across the ocean?

"Simply put, I need to use the Philosopher's Stone," Nicolas Flamel stated the purpose of his trip.

"I can help you deal with Voldemort."

Fang Rui interjected, "But you'll need to pay the corresponding fees, such as a reading license for all books in the Hogwarts Library, magical plants, magical creatures..."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore turned his gaze to Nicolas Flamel, asking him with his eyes.

Nicolas Flamel nodded slightly to indicate that Fang Rui was trustworthy, and explained, "Fang Rui is a highly skilled alchemist who has mastered special alchemical techniques and is very strong in terms of personal ability."

"The reason I need to use the Philosopher's Stone is also because it involves an alchemical process."

"Is that so..." Dumbledore thought for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement.

The group then set off for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The main gate of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is made of cast iron and looks very ornate. On both sides are stone pillars, and on top of them are winged wild boars.

Staring at the stone sculpture, Fang Rui wondered: Is it some kind of magical animal?

Speaking of which, Fang Rui knew what a winged tiger was, but a winged pig…

I have absolutely no recollection of this... I need to look up some information...

However, the meat of a pig with wings must be very fatty, since having wings represents a change in its mode of locomotion...

'Perhaps... I can confirm it.'

These are not particularly rare magical animals, making them very easy to purchase and inexpensive.

Upon entering the school, there is a spacious open area with a wide road leading directly to Hogwarts Castle. To the left is the lush Forbidden Forest and rolling mountains, while to the right is the Quidditch pitch...

As Fang Rui walked across the open space, he saw students from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, some playing happily and others studying diligently.

A short while later, the group arrived at the principal's office, which was located in a separate tower. It was a spacious and beautiful circular room with portraits of past principals hanging on the walls. Various other items were placed in the room, and a password was required to enter.

Fang Rui looked around for a while and nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression. There were many spells in the principal's office. Although he had not systematically studied spells, he could confirm the effects of the spells from the aura they emitted. They were spells of defensive and restorative nature.

"Hello, Nicolas Flamel."

The portraits of the past principals gradually came to life, greeting Nicolas Flamel upon seeing him, a testament to his high seniority and equally impressive achievements.

Nicolas Flamel nodded slightly in response to the greetings from the principals.

"In what capacity do you intend to remain at Hogwarts?" Dumbledore asked, sitting behind his desk.

“Your guest.” Nicolas Flamel refused to work.

"plus one."

What could Dumbledore do? Of course, he agreed.

"As for the Philosopher's Stone, I'll give it to you tonight."

It's easier to move around at night, and I can also check on someone's situation while I'm at it.

Fang Rui and the others said there was no problem, and then went to the accommodation arranged by Dumbledore.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has plenty of vacant rooms, and even if there aren't any vacant rooms, magic can be used to quickly create a villa, so there's no such thing as not having a place to live.

Nicolas Lemaître and Perenaerts had no interest in wandering around and rested in their room.

As for Fang Rui, he went straight to the library.

The library was very quiet, with only a few people inside.
