Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 133 Seven-Year-Old Rooster

I do not know how long it has been.

Dui finally woke up from his meditation.

He stretched comfortably, feeling as if he had had a good sleep, and his whole body became full of energy.

What surprised him even more was that he felt that the magic power in his body seemed to have increased slightly.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion.

But if true, it would be a huge surprise.

In the wizarding world, wizards' magical powers naturally increase with age, especially between the ages of eleven or twelve and seventeen, when their magical powers enter a period of rapid growth.

After reaching adulthood, a wizard's magical power will stabilize.

Only some gifted wizards can improve their magic through continuous learning and practice, such as Dumbledore, Voldemort and other top wizards.

However, Dui's situation was different. He had just awakened his wizard talent when he traveled through time, and he had already reached adulthood.

In the past two years, his magic power has been increasing rapidly, and now it is on par with the elite Aurors in the wizarding world.

If he were to enter the magical world, he would be considered a wizard with good talent.

But in recent times, he could feel that the growth of his magic power began to stabilize.

Now that his magic power has increased after meditation, he feels like he has returned to the time when his magic power just awakened.

Dui was afraid that this was his own illusion, so he meditated again for the next few days.

After confirming that his magic power had really increased, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was filled with ecstasy.

He didn't expect that meditation could not only cultivate the spirit and soul, but also increase magical power.

Gandalf was not surprised by this.

In his words, soul, spirit and magic form a complete triangular cycle relationship. Magic is the external manifestation of spirit, and spirit is the reaction of the soul.

Meditation can elevate the spirit, and the spirit can stimulate the soul to become stronger. Once the soul becomes stronger, the magic power will naturally increase.

With such an effect, Dui naturally wanted to meditate for 24 hours.

But everything is excessive, and excessive meditation is also a mentally draining thing, which is actually detrimental to the cultivation of the soul.

So under Gandalf's persuasion, Dewi also controlled his daily meditation within a reasonable time range.

Most importantly, they were off again.

They also need to go to the Old Forest and see if they can entrust the One Ring to Tom Bombadil.

Secondly, Bilbo also missed home.

It had been a year since he left the Shire, and for Bilbo, who loved home so much, it was incredible that he had been away for so long.

Although the outside world is dazzling, Bilbo still longs to return to his Bag End.

Before leaving, there was a young eagle, Thorondo, on the top of the tower who needed someone to take care of him.

Dui specially found the young Edward from Hogsmeade village and asked him to take care of Thorondor.

Dui had a good impression of this young man. When rescuing the villagers in the Troll Forest, the other villagers were numb, and only he could answer his and Gandalf's questions clearly and coherently.

He was also the first one to receive them in Hogsmeade and answer their questions.

After being chosen, Edward was also very excited and happy, looking at Dui with admiration and enthusiasm.

In Edward's eyes, Dui, who saved them from the mouth of the ogre, was no different from a savior. So after getting the gold coins given by Dui, he chose without hesitation to cross the thousands of miles of wilderness and live in Dui's territory.

Even though I encountered many hardships and even dangers along the way, I never regretted it.

He even continued to encourage the villagers who were traveling with him, helping each other and moving forward together.

It was also when he encountered the Dunedain and other villagers were terrified and thought they were bandits that he mustered up the courage to take the initiative to communicate with them, thus obtaining the escort of the Dunedain and successfully arriving at the foot of Fengyunding Mountain.

So after Dui chose him to take care of the eaglet, Edward excitedly patted his chest and promised that he would definitely take good care of Sorondo and ensure that there was no chance for him to go hungry.

After finishing his business, Duey, under Edward's watch, used Floo powder to teleport directly to the fireplace of the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree with Gandalf, Bilbo, and Legolas.

As for Edward who stayed in the tower, Dui was not worried about any accidents.

Several important rooms were sealed by him with magic and could not be opened without his permission.

He also took away the Stone of True Knowledge and the Light of Earendil from the top of the tower.

The place where the seeds of the Holy White Tree and the Maolong Tree are planted outside the tower is also enchanted, so there is no need to worry about anyone getting close.

Edward's only task is to take care of the young eagle Thorondo.

For this purpose, Dewy also took out a bag of gold coins from Smaug, who had transformed into Grandet, and gave it to Edward.

Some of it was payment, and some was used to buy food for Thorondor.

Bree Town,
The Prancing Horse Inn.

In the dim hall, a few scattered guests sat at the tables drinking or eating, and the innkeeper stood behind the bar, wiping the wine glasses with a rag.

Just then, the flames in the fireplace suddenly turned green, drawing everyone's attention. Mr. Butterfly, the innkeeper, was initially startled, but then he remembered a similar scene from a year ago and immediately began to suspect something.

Sure enough, the next second, Gandalf's figure emerged from the green flames.

He walked out of the fireplace, bent over, and coughed a few times as he was choked by the dust.

Then he smiled at the innkeeper and said, "Good morning, Mr. Butter Daisy. Honestly, your fireplace needs cleaning."

Then he smiled and greeted the stunned guests in the inn: "Good morning, everyone. I hope I didn't disturb you."

The guests opened their eyes, stunned and not knowing how to answer.

But the next second, green flames rose from the fireplace again.

The tall and straight Legolas appeared in the fireplace. His handsome appearance and elegant temperament instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Some sharp-eyed guests quickly noticed his pointed ears and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's an elf!" A guest lowered his voice and excitedly told his companions about his discovery.

But even the quietest sound could not escape Legolas's keen hearing, and he looked over in an instant.

The guest who was discovered immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

The innkeeper was also very excited. The last time an elf came to the Prancing Pony Inn was when his grandfather was a child. His grandfather had described to him how perfect the elf who went west was, more elegant and noble than those noble lords.

Unexpectedly, he would see a living elf in his lifetime. How lucky he is!
Looking at the elf in front of me, although covered with dust, it still cannot conceal her elegance and noble temperament.

That perfect face and long golden hair emitted a halo under the light, and the whole person seemed to be glowing.

Compared to this elf, the town mayor's pretentious behavior seemed forced and imitation.

After Legolas, Bilbo also emerged from the fireplace.

Compared to Legolas, Bilbo's appearance didn't get much of a reaction.

There were two Hobbit employees at the Prancing Pony Inn, so everyone's reaction to Bilbo, the Hobbit, was lukewarm.

But Bilbo didn't notice this. He hurried out of the fireplace to avoid being squeezed with Dewi behind him.

Sure enough, the next second, green flames rose again, and Dui was the last to arrive.

The guests didn't react much to Dui's appearance, but the innkeeper recognized him immediately.

He immediately walked out from the bar, walked quickly to Dui, and bowed repeatedly in awe and respect.

"It is you, Lord Doyle! We are truly honored to have you here! What are your wishes, Lord?"

Weathertop is not far from Bree Town. As the innkeeper with the best information, he naturally heard that Amon Sultar's master had returned, and he came back riding a giant dragon.

He also heard that the villagers living at the foot of Mount Windcloud Peak had become the subjects of Lord Amon Sultar and accepted his rule.

Living next door to such a powerful lord, the innkeeper could not afford to be careless.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that although Fengyunding has only a few hundred people now, with the powerful lord Duir, its future rise is bound to soar.

When the other guests heard the innkeeper address Dui, they quickly reacted and immediately turned their attention.

It is well known that Amon Sultar appeared overnight and stood atop Weathertop for a long time.

The name of the tower's owner, Duyle, is also remembered by many people.

Someone once tried to go to Fengyunding to find out what was inside, but in the end it was like being trapped in a maze. Although they could clearly see the giant tower right in front of them, they could not get any closer.

This also adds a bit of mystery to the reputation of Fengyunding and Duyle.

Dui happened to need the innkeeper to do something, so he took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the innkeeper, and handed him a piece of parchment.

"Mr. Huang Youju, you receive guests from all over the world every day. You are well-informed and have extensive channels. Please help me collect some paper materials. The more the better!"

"Oh, and please help me find a rooster that's seven years old."

"If you can help me complete this, these gold coins are just a deposit. The reward you will receive when the time comes will satisfy you."

The innkeeper also had a strange expression on his face as he looked at the various strange things written on the parchment, such as "bat spleen, tree snake skin, crocodile heart, eel eyeball, frog brain, pufferfish eye..."

I was even more surprised when I heard that Dui was looking for a rooster that was seven years old.

It is not easy to find a seven-year-old rooster. Most people will not raise chickens for such a long time. Even roosters used for breeding will be slaughtered and eaten when they are three or four years old and will not live to be seven years old.

However, looking at the bag full of gold coins, the innkeeper's eyes lit up and he immediately said that this was not a problem.

"Don't worry, Lord Duyle, I will definitely help you find these things!"

As long as the money is enough, he can find anything for him, no matter if it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water.

It's not that the innkeeper is arrogant. His place is located on a major transportation route. All kinds of people, including rangers, traveling merchants, dwarves, bards, etc., will stop here, so he is well-informed.

Therefore, the Yuema Inn is not only a place to stop and rest, but also a place to exchange information and even sell news.

After rejecting the enthusiastic innkeeper, Dewi and his companions bought some food and left Bree.
