Chapter 92: Eternal Ice, the Ultimate Power of Ice!

"So, can this branch of ice crystal wood be used as the body of the wand?" Irina asked.

Mr. Ollivander said, "Of course, Miss Lowell, there is no material more suitable for making a wand than this! However, what kind of wand core should be used for this one-of-a-kind ice crystal wood wand? Dragon heartstring or unicorn hair? It's really hard to decide..."

The wand with unicorn hair as the wand core has a strong resistance to the Dark Arts and is suitable for children with kind hearts. In Mr. Ollivander's opinion, unicorn hair was absolutely suitable for Irina, there was no doubt about it.

However, the wand made with unicorn hair as the wand core also had a disadvantage; that is, its upper limit was low, and it was difficult to cast extremely powerful spells. If the holder of the wand wanted to cast one of the Unforgivable Curses, it would also be rejected by the unicorn hair wand core, which in turn limited the strength of the wizard.

"Dragon heartstring," Irina said suddenly.

Although unicorn hair was more suitable for her now, she understood that in the wizarding world, only absolute strength could allow her to protect her family from being bullied, and a wand with unicorn feather as the core would tie her hands and feet, which was what she didn't want to see.

Seeing that the owner of the ice crystal wood had spoken, Mr. Ollivander simply stopped hesitating and took out a relatively fresh dragon heartstring from the material bag.

This period was the beginning of the school year. Mr. Ollivander generally made enough wands in advance to sell to young wizards, and would not make new wands during this period.

But facing the new wand material of ice crystal wood, as a wand maker, he naturally found it difficult to resist this temptation.

So, Mr. Ollivander took the ice crystal wood and the dragon heartstring and walked towards the workplace.

Fortunately, it was already mid-to-late August. Most of the young wizards who were about to enter Hogwarts had already bought their own wands in July, and the number of new young wizards in the wizarding world was not too large every year.

Therefore, no one came into the store to disturb Mr. Ollivander while he was making wands.

Irina watched Mr. Ollivander making wands for her eagerly, and she waited patiently.

Time passed by, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Mr. Ollivander had been working for more than five hours in a row.

"It's done! Come and try it, Miss Lowell! Ice crystal wood, thirteen and a quarter inches, dragon heartstring, flexible material!"

Mr. Ollivander said happily, he gently blew off the sawdust on the new wand, then carefully picked up the new wand and handed it to Irina.

This new wand looked very gorgeous. Irina could see subtle ice-blue lynns on the surface of the wand. These ice-blue lynns were not carved by Mr. Ollivander, but were naturally possessed by the ice crystal wood!

Irina's heart was beating fast. She could feel the kind emotions coming from this wand. She suppressed her excitement, raised the wand, and waved it gently.

She saw an ice-blue light bursting out from the tip of the wand, and endless cold air rushed in all directions, freezing everything in Ollivander's Wand Shop into ice sculptures in an instant!

Not only that, extremely exquisite ice continued to condense in Ollivander's Wand Shop, and condensed into ice in the shape of chandeliers in this small room!

It was as if this Ollivander's Wand Shop was no longer that small shop, but an eternal ice palace made of ten thousand years of ice!

Under the attack of the power of ice, Irina, who has a strong affinity for ice, was fine, but Mr. Ollivander in front of her was almost frozen into an ice sculpture, with only his eyes and mouth able to move normally.

"Take it! Take it! Miss Lowell!" Mr. Ollivander wanted to cry but had no tears. He had just asked Irina to try the new wand, but he didn't expect it to turn his wand shop into an ice palace.

Fortunately, Irina, who already had the power to control ice, was able to take back the ice with her mind, otherwise the entire Ollivander's Wand Shop would probably be destroyed!

"I didn't expect this wand to be so powerful, or did my affinity for ice stimulate its original power?!"

Irina looked at Ollivander's Wand Shop that had returned to its original state, and she was a little scared.

She understood that it was impossible to release this magic like the creator with her current magical level.

It seemed that this ice crystal wood was definitely not an ordinary magic tree!

"It's perfect, Miss Lowell, this is definitely the most suitable wand for you!" Mr. Ollivander said happily.

Irina smiled sweetly. She seemed to have thought of something and took out her original wand from her bosom, "Since I already have a wand that really suits me, I'll give this wand back to you, Mr. Ollivander."

Hearing this, Mr. Ollivander shook his head and said, "Since I said I'd give it to you, then I'll give it to you. However, this ice crystal wood wand is not cheap. The previous wand was sold to the young wizard at the price of seven Galleons because of subsidies from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Ministry of Magic, but now you are no longer a first-year student."

Irina nodded and said, "I understand. How many Galleons does this ice crystal wood wand cost?"

As Mr. Ollivander said, the reason why the wand here was sold to the young wizard at the price of seven Galleons was that it was subsidized by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, how could a wand that could accompany a wizard throughout their life be less than one-third of the price of a magic book?!

Mr. Ollivander cleared his throat and said, "The price of this ice crystal wood wand is 198 Galleons, but since this unique ice crystal wood was provided by you, Miss Lowell, and I have gained a lot from using new materials to make the wand, I will only charge you 68 Galleons!"

Hearing Mr. Ollivander's words, Irina was a little surprised.

Her family was only middle class, and it was difficult to provide her with too much money. For her, the price of 68 Galleons was definitely not cheap.

After all, according to the exchange rate of 1:5 between Galleons and pounds, 68 Galleons were equivalent to 340 pounds.

Fortunately, Mr. Ollivander gave her a discount and did not charge her 198 Galleons, otherwise her small treasury really couldn't take out so many Galleons.

Irina took out the Galleons saved from not having to buy Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook, counted out 68 and handed them to Mr. Ollivander.

Thanks to Lockhart, she had saved more than a hundred Galleons! Irina put away her new wand and thought happily.
