From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 268: A Dream Across the Thousand Miles (600010000)

The spell that Ivy used to contact other members of the White Council was the 5th-level dream spell.

The Swordmaster class provides him with two 5th-level spell slots, which can be used to cast this spell without distance restriction.

Ivy met Elrond and Galadriel at the White Council gathering in Rivendell, and all the prerequisites for this spell were met. Now she just had to wait for the moon to rise so that she could pass on the news that Gandalf's actions had been hindered and he was now trapped in Dol Guldur.

The bright moon gradually rose, and the activities of the woodland elves became difficult to detect. Ivy prepared all the components needed for the spell and began to cast the dream spell.

His first target was Galadriel, the wife of Lord Lothlorien.

This female elf who has lived for countless years has great power and can even cross the Misty Mountains to make her own clone appear in Rivendell.

Moreover, Galadriel is the member of the White Council who is closest to Dol Guldur in physical distance. By crossing the Anduin River, one can directly see the towering fortress of Dol Guldur from Lothlorien.

Therefore, Galadriel is crucial to supporting Gandalf, not to mention that she also holds the Ring of Water, one of the Three Rings of the Elves. The powerful power of the Ring of Strength always protects Lothlorien from being disturbed.

The one-minute casting time was completed quickly, and Ivy's consciousness gradually withdrew from her body. With the help of the connection between the astral bodies, she entered the golden forest of Lothlorien through magic.

Lothlorien is not very large, but it is very outstanding because it is full of trees called maulon. Maulon has silver bark and golden leaves, and is very tall and straight. The elves living in Lothlorien built their homes on the branches of this tree, forming the very magnificent Caras Galadhon, the "City of Trees".

Guided by magic, Ivy's astral body passed through the elves' layers of defense and reached the highest palace in the center of the city. This palace was the residence of the lord and was also built on the maolong tree. I don't know what kind of magic the elves used to build such a magnificent and sacred residence.

Ivy found her goal on a bed covered with white curtains. Perhaps the word "find" cannot be used to describe it, because Ivy was guided here by magic.

Ivy's astral body stretched out a translucent palm through the curtain. In order to shape dreams through dream transmission, you must first establish a direct connection with the target, and contact with the astral body is the best way.

However, the expected contact did not occur.

Just before Ivy's translucent palm touched Galadriel, a huge force appeared out of nowhere, like a torrent pouring down from the top of a mountain, hitting Ivy's chest heavily.

His astral body was knocked away in an instant, and quickly returned along the way it came, returning to the palace of the Woodland Kingdom again.

Ivy jumped up from the magic circle he had drawn himself, covering his chest and frowning.

"What is that?" Although there was a phantom pain in his chest, Ivy was not actually hurt. The only answer Ivy could think of was the Ring of Water. Since the One Ring could resurrect Sauron, it seemed reasonable that the Ring of Water gave Galadriel the power to resist the invasion of dreams.

It was obviously impossible to continue using the dream spell to shape Galadriel's dream. So how was Ivy going to inform the White Council?
The three-ring short message spell was the first spell that Ivy rejected, because the opal ring she gave to Gandalf used this magic. It was originally able to send messages back and forth between the two targets, but for some reason it only conveyed a vague feeling, and Ivy was unable to reply to Gandalf. Therefore, Ivy could only attribute it to Ilúvatar's suppression of the magical power in Middle-earth.

Previously, the dream spell had successfully guided Ivy's astral body to Lothlorien, but it failed in the last step of establishing the connection. Therefore, Ivy believed that the dream spell was still her first choice, but she had to think carefully about the target of the spell.

In addition to Galadriel, Elrond of Rivendell is obviously also protected by Via, the Ring of Air, and Saruman of Isengard is not a suitable target either. After all, Ivy had mocked him in Rivendell before. If she uses dream magic on him now, wouldn't that just be playing him into her hands?
Now it seems that Ivy can only set her sights on the other elves in Rivendell and Lothlorien. Unfortunately, apart from Galadriel, Ivy does not know any elves in Lothlorien, otherwise this elf from Valinor should be the first to arrive in Dol Guldur to support Gandalf.

After looking at the rune array on the ground, Ivy calmed himself down and prepared to release the dream spell for the second time.

Then let's choose the steward of Rivendell as the target of the dream spell. Ivy remembers his name is - Lind?
Hopefully, this steward will be able to convince Elrond to trust him, or allow him to take off Via, so that Ivy can enter his dream in person...

Wait, did I miss someone?

At the last second of completing the spell configuration of dreaming, Ivy suddenly remembered the elf girl stroking the golden horn in front of the gate of Rivendell. She once said that she was going to Lothlorien to visit her grandmother, and her grandmother was Galadriel, the lady of the lord of Lothlorien.

At this moment, Ivy was very grateful for the elves' different sense of time. If ordinary humans were to visit relatives, they would definitely return in half a year. But it would be unreasonable for elves to not stay for thirty or fifty years when visiting relatives, right?

So the black-haired elf girl must still be in Lothlorien, and as Galadriel's granddaughter, she can definitely convince her grandmother.

Fortunately, the dream spell can be activated as long as Ivy knows the target, and the close contact outside the gate of Rivendell can already meet this condition.

So Ivy's astral body once again crossed the numerous spider webs of Mirkwood, the rushing Anduin River, and the golden forest of Lothlorien, entered the palace located in the tallest maelstrom tree in the City of Trees, and found the elven princess sleeping peacefully on the bed.

The black-haired elf princess has a beautiful sleeping posture. The term Sleeping Beauty is the most appropriate to describe her. Even in deep sleep, her beauty still shines like a star, like a night star sleeping in the arms of the moon.

Ivy looked at her for a moment, then stretched out his translucent palm and gently pressed it on the elf princess's shoulder.

In a flash, he entered a forest that was shining with brilliant light. Although every leaf in the forest was emitting light, it was not dazzling. In this heart-swaying glow, Ivy saw the elf princesses sitting in a group on the grass.
