Chapter 727 Vincent’s Double Snake Staff
The double snake staff is also the staff of the God of Merchant in Greek mythology.
In order to distinguish it from the staff of Asclepius with a single snake, the staff of Merchant entwined with two snakes was named the staff of double snakes.
It belonged to the god Hermes and was considered a symbol of commerce and international trade.
According to the records of the Jade Record, the double snake staff not only has the terrifying hypnotic ability to hypnotize Argos, the hundred-eyed giant in mythology, but also has extremely powerful healing ability, and can even cast two magic spells at the same time.
But unlike traditional wands, making it requires not only traditional wand-making knowledge, but also considerable alchemical attainments.
Vincent had deliberately studied wandology, but had no experience in making wands.
However, the Double Snake Wand does not belong to the traditional category of wands and can be classified as a special alchemical creation.
"The first step is to adjust the magical aura of the snake wood and the basilisk horn to the same frequency.
The second step is to carve complete ancient runes on the surface of both according to the diagram.
The third step is to mobilize your own magic power to fuse the two.
The fourth step is to divide the semi-finished product into two sections, shape them into the appearance of a snake and let them intertwine.
The fifth step is to hide the ancient runes on the surface inside.
The sixth step is to mobilize mana again so that the double snake staff can record the mana characteristics of the holder.
Step 7: Set restrictions to prevent others from using it.
(Note: You can add an appropriate amount of mithril to give the double snake staff another appearance)"
There are seven steps in total. In fact, the production is completed by the fifth step.
However, restrictions still need to be set. In addition to strengthening the connection between the double snake staff and the holder, it can also prevent others from taking it away and using it against oneself.
If the eldest son of the Peverell family had placed a restriction on the Elder Wand, he would have died under the wand he made himself.
Vincent flipped the manuscript back and forth and waited until it was almost dawn to activate the time turner.
Choosing a relatively remote safe spot, he opened his suitcase and took out a half-meter-long basilisk horn and snakewood branch.
Jomgander is nearly a thousand years old, and the giant snake tree at the entrance of Ilvermorny Magic School grew from Slytherin's double snake staff buried underground.
Both have a history of nearly a thousand years, and their magical auras should be very close.
Vincent broke off the thinner branches of the snakewood, bringing it closer to the aura emitted by the basilisk horn.
Wait until it is almost the same, then raise the alder wand to unify the two frequencies.
It didn't take much effort and the first step was successfully completed.
Carving the ancient runes was a bit tedious, but it was accomplished just as smoothly.
When it came to the integration step, Vincent began to hesitate.
Nico's manuscript talks about mobilizing mana for fusion, but the size of the two things is really too big, and I don't know if the whole process can be sustained.
"Come on, come on, it's not like you haven't been bombed before..."
Vincent nodded, thinking of Jomgander's other horn, and of Kenny in Ilvermorny, America.
There is a second chance, at most it will be done again in a few years.
Put on the mithril robe, use the alder wand in your hand to hold up the basilisk horns and snakewood with magic power.
When the two touched, a violent wave of magic immediately erupted.
He thought back to the first time he used magic.
This is not a failure, just a conflict between the two.
Continue to mobilize your mana and squeeze them together.
Faced with several strong magical fluctuations that erupted in succession, Vincent's eyes became more and more determined.
Half an hour later, a small part of the contact area between the basilisk horns and the snakewood merged.
But this is just the beginning, such a large size will inevitably consume countless mana.
There are a lot of master potions brewed by Snape in the suitcase, and he will drink a bottle when he is about to lose his strength.
Two hours later, the floor was covered with empty bottles.
Vincent, who was sweating profusely, did not give up. The fusion of the basilisk horns and the snake wood was just short of the last bit.
When he was about to run out of energy, the two finally completed the fusion.
Tired, not ordinary tired.
This feeling of being hollowed out had not occurred for a long time, so I could only pack up my things and activate the time converter to take a good rest.
After a nap, go back to 5 hours ago, and then go back to cook something and have a good rest.
By the time my physical and mental state were fully restored, almost 12 hours had passed.
Vincent looked at the half-finished wooden stick that was full of ancient runes and as thick as his arm, and began to think about what kind of appearance it should look like.
"I am the servant of the secret fire... harnessing the fire of Anor..."
A mantra sounded in my mind for no reason.
A big staff like Gandalf?
Start with a flashing spell, then hit someone with a staff?
Vincent quickly shook his head and threw the thought out of his mind.
It was too simple and crude, so he might as well stick with his original alder wand.
Eh...can't you add an appropriate amount of mithril to get another appearance?
But how much mithril can be used by this big wooden stick with a thick arm?
He looked down at the mithril robe on his body, then took out the gun blade and held it in the palm of his hand.
His eyes were full of reluctance, hoping he wouldn't have to use them.
The total amount of mithril in the suitcase is 50 ounces, or 3.125 pounds.
The double snake staff used to cover the semi-finished product is definitely not enough, so the surface area can only be reduced as much as possible.
The long snake wood as thick as an arm was squeezed bit by bit by the magic power. When the width was close to 1 inch, its length had almost extended to two meters.
The middle is continuously tapered, and the ends on both sides slowly form a snake head shape.
Lifelike snake scales appeared piece by piece, and the entire snake tree was divided into two sections from the middle.
Two long snakes spitting out letters were flying in front of him, as if they were alive.
"Well..." Vincent's magic power did not drive them to do this. The powerful healing ability of the double snake staff may be derived from this.
The alder wand pointed at the container containing mithril.
The liquid mithril floated under the constraints of mana, and moved closer to the two long snakes.
The moment the two parties came into contact, powerful vitality spread to the surroundings.
The grass on the ground continues to grow, and green leaves sprout from the branches of the surrounding giant trees.
Such a strange sight did not last long. When the mithril completely wrapped the two long snakes, they stopped growing.
But strangely, Vincent was not affected.
He lowered his head and looked at the time turner on his chest, probably because the constraints of time magic excluded him.
With experience in alchemical products, shaping the shape is not difficult for him at all.
Two long snakes with a silvery metallic luster entangled each other, and the two snake heads opened their lower jaws to reveal their fangs, eventually forming a one-meter-long staff.
The tail of the staff is a tightly fitting snake's tail, the body of the staff has two intertwined snake bodies, and the top of the staff is two snake heads with open mouths.
I measured the exact length and it was exactly 36.9 inches.
Vincent's double snake staff is destined not to be used like an ordinary wand, and must be held from the middle like a staff.
The silver metallic luster slowly faded away, which was a sign that the snakewood began to absorb mithril.
The other form had to be completed as soon as possible.
