Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 147 Teaching Magic
The dwarves finally left with two gifts from Dui.

The thousand dwarf craftsmen went back into the box space as they had come, and were carried by Balin together with Philip to go through the fireplace to River Valley City, and then return to Lonely Mountain.

Of the two gifts, the dwarves preferred the silver flagon that could produce fine wine.

This magical gift even became a testimony to the friendship between Gushan and Fengyunding, and became an indispensable item in every banquet held in Gushan.

As the dwarves left, Hogwarts Castle instantly became quiet.

As for Lord Mayor Rudge of Bree and the owner of the Prancing Pony Inn, they returned directly to Bree through the fireplace the day after the banquet, leaving only the coachmen and militiamen who followed them back the same way.

In the huge castle, only Due, the three elf siblings, Legolas, Beorn, Bilbo, the steward Edward, and the village chief Luke who came up the mountain to report every few days were left.

The construction of the castle was complete, but Duy's work had just begun.

Today's Hogwarts Castle is just a formality and cannot be compared with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the wizarding world.

Not to mention that the moving stairs and moving armor blocks did not appear, even the castle itself needed to be applied with alchemical runes to enhance the castle's resistance to spell attacks.

In addition, Dewi also promised to teach Arwen and others magic.

In the spirit of releasing one sheep is the same as releasing a flock of sheep, Dui simply gathered those who had magic wands together and taught them together.

Inside the tower, Dui set aside a room as a classroom.

He stood on the stage as a professor of magic.

Sitting below were five students: Arwen, Elrohir, Elladan, Legolas, and Beorn.

Under the expectant gazes of the five people, Dui took out a copy of "Standard Spells Elementary" and tapped the book lightly with his wand. The book was quickly copied into five copies and flew into everyone's hands.

"This is the beginner's guide to spells. It contains some basic spells and principles. It serves as your guide for beginners. Everyone, please take a look."

Elrohir looked at the name on the cover of the book and immediately looked up curiously and asked, "Duil, this is the basic level of standard spells. Are there also intermediate and advanced levels?"

Dui shook his head. "I'm wrong, Elrohir. After the basic level of standard spells, there are two, three, four, and so on. The difficulty of the spells will increase gradually. And remember to call me professor during class."

"Okay, Professor Doyle." Elrohir called out obediently.

Dui nodded in satisfaction.

I never thought that he would become a professor one day.

Looking at the students below whose average age was over a thousand years old, Dui felt that the experience was good.

The subsequent teaching process also made him feel very comfortable.

Elves seem to be born for magic, and they are very smart and sharp. Basically, they can understand magic quickly and understand it after being taught once.

Watching Arwen easily release the effect of holy light with the Lumos Charm, and even make the light ball float freely away from the wand; Elrohir and Elladan used the Levitation Charm to make the two tables fly up and down; Legolas released a raging flame and easily controlled the temperature of the flame.

Dui could only sigh that his students were so outstanding that he seemed useless as a teacher.

But when he looked at Beorn again, Dewi's eyes instantly became kind.

Look, finally there is a student who can demonstrate his value as a teacher!

Beorn's magical talent is actually very good, but compared to the elves, especially the elves who are at least 500 years old, he seems a little ordinary.

In the days that followed, Dewi taught the elves and Beorn spells and began carving runes on the castle walls.

These runes contain magical powers such as solidity, immortality, waterproofness and fireproofness, which can make the castle stand for thousands of years without collapsing.

The castle is very large, and almost every brick is engraved with runes. This huge amount of work is no less than the original construction of the castle.

Dui naturally didn't plan to do it alone.

He directly drafted Elrohir and others into military service, and even Arwen was not spared.

The runes on each brick were similar, so after Dui designed the runes, he taught them to Elrohir and others, asking them to share the work and engrave runes on every brick wall of the castle.

This is a good opportunity to test their magic learning results.

Dui said this with a righteous look on his face.

In fact, Dui had considered this before. When building the castle, he let the dwarves be responsible for engraving the runes.

It's just that engraving runes requires magical support, otherwise the runes are just simply engraved and have no power at all.

So Dui could only regretfully give up the idea of ​​recruiting dwarves as strong men.

Arwen and the others had no complaints.

In their view, the greatest reward was that Duir could teach them magical skills.

Not to mention that they can also use this to learn a magical rune that they have never seen before.

This is simply a huge profit for them!

Dewi was also generous with Arwen and the others. He divided the contents of the "Book of Spells" into standard spells from level one to level seven. Except for some spells that were more related to dark magic, he placed all of them in the library and opened them to them for study.

He even taught the elves their favorite Patronus Charm.

I just don't know if elves are naturally calm and peaceful, so their progress on the Patronus Charm, which requires extremely happy emotions, is slow, and they can only spray out a few strands of silver threads.

On the contrary, Beorn performed better than the elves this time. After practicing for a month, he successfully cast a patronus in the form of a giant bear.

The elves were not anxious about this and were very calm, with an attitude of "if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm dead."

In fact, extreme emotions are not suitable for elves. Extreme sadness is fatal to elves, weakening them to death, so elves have developed a habit of restraint and indifference.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

Runes are engraved on every brick wall of the castle. The dense runes form an invisible magic circle, making the entire castle seem alive.

In the elves' keen perception, every brick and stone of the castle seemed to be breathing, no longer the cold stone as before.

At the same time, in the corridors of the castle, there are armors that can move and patrol automatically. They hold weapons and stand quietly in the corners of the walls.

If someone didn't know, they would think it was just armor displayed there.

But if enemies come in, they will transform into war machines and kill tirelessly.

These armors are alchemical armor guards made by Dui. There are a total of 108 of them, distributed in various places in the castle, and are specifically responsible for guarding the castle.

In addition, there are many tall stone statues in the castle, including a thousand dwarf statues carved by dwarf craftsmen.

In order to thank the dwarf craftsmen for their efforts, Dui asked them to carve a stone statue for themselves, and then left it in the castle for future generations to admire.

The dwarf craftsmen were very dedicated in this matter, striving to carve themselves to be tall and majestic.

These stone sculptures were engraved with runes by Dui and cast with magic. They would not move normally, but would come alive in an emergency and become a help to the castle.

He also used alchemy to solidify the spell on the towers and the stairs in the castle.

Not only can it move left and right automatically, but the steps can also move upwards. When people stand on them, they will be teleported upwards. It can be called a "magic version" of a mobile elevator.

In this way, a magic castle has taken shape.

A year is just a blink of an eye for the immortal elves.

They only remember that the leaves fell once, and they can't even feel the passage of time.

But for Dui, it was the longest job he had ever done.

He spent a whole year busy with the castle.

Beneath the tall golden and silver trees, a layer of golden and silver leaves has been piled up.

Under the influence of the twin trees, the surroundings became full of life, and the garden was filled with flowers that Dui transplanted from the tower's herb garden.

Among them are the golden bell-shaped flowers that never fade, the snowthorn with huge white petals, the golden star-shaped "Sun Star", the eight-colored "Entpo Flower"...

A graceful elf girl lightly came to the foot of the Maolong tree, raised her head and called out to the tree: "Thorondo, come out to eat!"

Her voice is ethereal and beautiful, like the morning breeze, pleasing to the ear.

On the tall maolong tree, an exquisite and elegant tree house and several platforms appeared at some point, just like the residence of the elves of Lorien.

A winding spiral white staircase winds around the huge tree trunk, extending all the way up, connecting the tree house and several platforms together.

On the highest platform, there is a giant bird's nest.

Sorondo in the bird's nest heard the noise and poked his head out.

When he saw the figure under the tree, he immediately let out a loud cry of joy, jumped directly from the bird's nest a hundred meters high, and fell quickly while flapping his tender wings.

The eaglet's wings have not yet fully grown and it is unfamiliar with flying, so it descends awkwardly in a gliding posture.

As a result, he lost his balance in mid-air and suddenly fell headfirst.

Just when it was about to hit the ground, the elf waved the magic wand in his hand, stopping the giant eagle's falling momentum, and then it slowly landed.

"Coo, coo..." The eaglet looked a little shy and buried its head under its wings.

Seeing this, the female elf smiled and reached out to stroke the young eagle. She said gently, "Thorondo, you've done great! Just keep training, and when your wings are stronger, you'll be able to fly!"

"Coo...?" The young eagle took out its head and asked with a puzzled and unconfident look.

"Of course it's true. You are just too young now. When you grow up a little more, the whole sky will be your territory!" She encouraged gently and affirmatively.

Then she took out a palm-sized treat wrapped in a Maolong leaf and said, "Look what I brought you. This is the Lembas I made. It can help you grow faster. Do you like it?"

Upon hearing this, the young eagle chirped happily and rubbed its head against her affectionately.

The elf girl smiled brightly. She opened the outer leaves, took out the pancake-shaped lambs inside, broke off half and fed it to the eaglet.

The young eagle swallowed it whole in one gulp, and then realized that it had not yet tasted it.

He immediately looked at her pitifully, expecting the remaining half of Rambas.

The female elf smiled and shook her head: "Be good, Thorondo, Lembas can't eat too much. The amount you just ate is enough to keep you from eating for several days. If you eat more, you will be too full."

"Coo, coo..." The young eagle rubbed against her and acted coquettishly, leaving her with no choice but to agree.

She broke off another piece and said, "You can only eat a little, no more."

The young eagle nodded quickly, then opened its mouth to take the Lambas and slowly tasted it in its mouth.

"Arwen, you dote on Sauron too much." Dui walked in from outside the garden, with a smile in his eyes, but his tone was disapproving.

"Rambas is complicated and time-consuming to make. What's the difference between you feeding him and a cow chewing a peony?"

"Gugu...!" Upon hearing this, Zorondo immediately made a series of noises in rebuttal.

What does it mean to be like a cow chewing a peony? Can a cow compare to him?
