Let me show you a new way Chapter 230

The swelling flames burned fiercely, Ollivanders’ wand shop had transformed into a massive torch, the fire desperately shooting towards the sky, even threatening to spread outwards.

The shop owners on both sides had already run out, frantically raising their wands, streams of water erupting from the tips, attempting to control the blaze… at the very least, to prevent it from spreading to their own shops.

Lin Dong stood at the entrance of the wand shop, extending his hands, his magic rings shimmering with a faint light. A massive vacuum sphere appeared, enveloping the entire shop.

The vacuum sphere was a very interesting little spell. Its practicality wasn’t very high, and its principle was quite simple: using a wizard’s elemental manipulation to draw out the air from a small area of space, turning it into a vacuum, which could effectively counteract fire spells.

But ultimately, it was just a basic spell. Its true purpose was to allow wizards to practice their control over air. Air, in the perception of ordinary people, is formless and intangible. This vacuum sphere spell effectively allowed wizards to grasp the physical properties of air, thereby developing more spells.

This was why Tony Stark was able to become such a powerful sorcerer so quickly, and even merge magic and science to create special magical battle suits.

Because sometimes, magic and science were not contradictory at all.

The giant vacuum sphere expanded from Lin Dong’s palms. The air inside the shop rapidly diminished. Holes appeared at both ends of the vacuum sphere, like two massive blowers, emitting a buzzing sound.

In just three seconds, the inside of the shop had become a vacuum, and all the flames extinguished due to the lack of oxygen.

“What kind of magic is that?” The shop owners on both sides widened their eyes, staring in astonishment at the huge vacuum sphere that had been drained of air in such a short time, letting out incredible exclamations.

Unlike in the movies, the physical destructive power of magic for wizards in this world was generally not particularly strong. This might be because wizards typically didn’t suffer much physical damage, and physical damage recovered exceptionally quickly.

Therefore, the magic in this world didn’t have much large-scale spectacle. Instead, it leaned more towards subtlety, rather than creating huge fireballs everywhere for dramatic effect like in the movies.

“Phew~” Lin Dong let out a long breath. The world alertness level on his watch had slowed its ascent but hadn’t stopped completely.

And Lin Dong already largely understood why this had happened.

Inside the wand shop, a very important wand had gone wrong.

Lin Dong waved his hand, and low-temperature air slowly began to enter the bubble. This was a freezing spell Lin Dong created to prevent any lingering embers from reigniting. Then the bubble slowly disappeared, and Lin Dong strode into the wand shop.

Ollivander, who had been bewildered all this time, also snapped out of it and quickly ran over, following Lin Dong into his shop.

Inside the wand shop, it was a mess. The shelves, once densely packed with wands, lay powerlessly on the ground, broken wands scattered everywhere. Some were relatively intact, but others were completely burned.

The walls were covered in black soot, and Ollivander’s long-stored materials had also gone up in flames.

Ollivander painstakingly gathered the remaining wands on the ground and the few surviving wand materials, muttering constantly, seemingly regretting his rashness.

Lin Dong, walking ahead, had his eyes slightly closed. The magic of time bloomed with light between his hands, searching for that extremely important item.

“Found it!” Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes and strode forward. On the ground, a wand, already burned into a charcoal stick, lay powerlessly. Lin Dong directly picked it up, and with a flick of his finger and a clever twist, he shattered the remaining wand wood into carbon powder, which drifted to the ground.

What appeared between his fingers was a glowing, fiery red feather.

A phoenix tail feather.

The so-called phoenix, or more accurately, phoenix, is a mythical immortal bird in Western legends.

The characteristic of the phoenix is its immortality. Whenever its life is about to end, it is reborn from the ashes, embodying concepts such as immortality, rebirth, and resurrection.

And in the HP world, it is the same. Phoenixes possess a loyalty to follow only one human throughout their lives and are also among the few creatures in this world that can withstand the Avada Kedavra curse, though at the cost of immediate rebirth as a chick.

The feathers of such creatures, after being magically processed by Ollivander, retained a trace of the phoenix’s fire resistance. Therefore, even though the wand wood was charred black like charcoal, the core inside remained as bright as new.

“Ah! I remember this feather!” Ollivander also came closer. He looked at the tail feather between Lin Dong’s fingers with emotion, a hint of nostalgia and regret in his eyes.

“This feather has a brother. Over fifty years ago, I used it to make a yew wand, and the one who took it…” Ollivander sighed. He had to admit that he felt some regret. The terror Voldemort brought to the British wizarding world was too profound.

“The one who took it was Tom Riddle…” Lin Dong slowly spoke the words Ollivander hadn’t. Then he showed a smile: “Or, to use a name everyone has heard…”

“Voldemort!”

The wand in Lin Dong’s hand should have originally belonged to Harry Potter, who would arrive here two years later. Although Harry Potter’s wand and Voldemort’s wand were made of different woods, their cores were both phoenix tail feathers, and they came from the same phoenix.

These two brother wands created the peculiar connection between Voldemort and Harry Potter. In the original plot, Harry Potter repeatedly escaped from Voldemort thanks to the special connection of the brother wands. For example, in the Goblet of Fire, the wands’ resistance to fighting each other caused the shadows of Harry Potter’s parents (and Cedric) to appear, shielding Harry Potter’s escape.

And in the seventh year, Harry Potter’s wand was even more outrageous. Voldemort personally came to kill Harry Potter, and to prevent the wand from resisting, he even switched to a different one. Yet, Harry Potter’s wand activated auto-aim, x-ray vision, no recoil, infinite ammo, and other cheats. A wave of automatic operations left Voldemort stunned.

It could be said that if it weren’t for this wand, Harry Potter would have died ten thousand times over. No wonder the world alertness level started to soar. Under Lin Dong’s influence, Ollivander almost destroyed the protagonist’s cheat in this world. How could the world’s consciousness not be angry?

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to make amends for all this. Lin Dong had to create a new cheat for Harry Potter to prevent him from being killed by Voldemort, and ideally, one even stronger than the original!
