Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 179 Mithril Sword
After the furnace was forged, Dui placed it in the center of the forging room.

Then he threw the flaming sword into the furnace and forged it with scorching heat and flames.

The Flaming Sword was made by Thorin and several dwarf craftsmen. It was recast by fusing the ancient sword of the Wight with a little mithril, and it was also engraved with the rune representing "flame".

Gandalf used it to unleash the sacred Fire of Arnor against the Balrog's Fire of Udun during his battle with him in Moria.

But this does not mean that the Flaming Sword itself really possesses such power.

Instead, Gandalf used the flaming sword to release the Fire of Arnor.

This time, Dui plans to use the fairy forging technology to recast the flaming sword once again to make it stronger.

The Flame Sword is made of cast bronze, but how can it compare to Mithril?

Not to mention that Dui is going to use the more precious Mother of Mithril this time.

That's right, Dui plans to use the Mother of Mithril to reforge the Flaming Sword.

He first threw the flaming sword into the furnace.

The Flaming Sword is worthy of being a weapon forged by the dwarves. Even in a high-temperature furnace, it melts very slowly.

Dui deliberately threw more flame crystals into the furnace to speed up the melting of the sword.

Under Dui's gaze, the flaming sword melted into a pool of molten lava, and the impurities in it were quickly decomposed and burned.

In the end, only a small ball of pure bronze molten liquid without any impurities and a thumb-sized piece of mithril molten liquid next to it remained.

That thumb-sized bit of mithril was the mithril component that Thorin and several dwarf craftsmen added to the sword.

Although it is not big, it is the greatest sincerity that Thorin can show.

But now Dui directly split the more precious, fist-sized Mithril Mother into two halves.

Then throw half of it into the furnace.

Mother of Mithril is far stronger and more heat-resistant than ordinary Mithril. Even the flames of the Balrog could not melt it.

The Mother of Mithril in the furnace remained motionless in the extreme high temperature and flames, just lying there quietly.

Seeing this, Dui directly threw the remaining flame crystals into the furnace.

Under the effect of the furnace's tenfold increased firepower, the color inside the furnace has changed from white to a higher blue.

The temperature inside had already far exceeded that of a volcano, and even the molten bronze in the furnace had begun to vaporize.

The Mother of Mithril finally began to show signs of softening, but it was still very slow.

At this rate, Dui wondered when the Mother of Mithril could be completely melted?

Seeing this, Dewi aimed his wand at the fire entrance and cast Fiendfire.

The fierce fire with destructive power was added to the flames of the furnace, instantly causing the temperature inside the furnace to soar further and turn into blue-purple.

Under the burning of such a terrifying flame, the melting speed of the Mother of Mithril accelerated.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the Mithril Mother, which was half the size of a fist, was finally completely melted.

The bronze molten liquid from the original flaming sword shrank significantly, leaving only a little pure bronze essence, which looked as dazzling as gold.

Although mithril is a good material, it is too light. If the sword is made entirely of mithril, the weight of the sword will be difficult to control and will not be conducive to causing damage.

So Dui fused the light Mother of Mithril molten metal with the heavy essence of bronze to form an alloy material of suitable weight, which has the lightness, corrosion resistance, and strong enchantment conductivity of Mithril, as well as the stability and strength of bronze.

Dui took the fused mixed metal out of the furnace, and after it solidified, he used a mithril hammer to continuously strike it at a unique frequency. With each strike, magic power would be integrated into the alloy through the mithril hammer, and the Mother of Mithril and the essence of bronze would be further integrated.

When the hammering is almost done, the alloy is put back into the furnace and melted and calcined again, allowing the mithril, bronze, and magic power to continuously react in the furnace.

This repetitive process lasted for three months.

The calcination process finally stopped when the Mother of Mithril, bronze and magic power were indistinguishable from each other and the metal memory was completely stimulated.

At this time, the mithril alloy had been forged into the shape of a sword.

Dui used a mithril chisel to carve runes on the sword. Once the engraving was complete, he threw it into the mithril melt in the furnace to coat it with patina.

After calcining and polishing... Dui placed the red-hot sword directly into the blood-red liquid that had been prepared to quench it.

This blood-red liquid is a fairy quenching potion made by Dui using dragon blood as raw material.

The sword quickly cooled down in the dragon blood liquid and continued to absorb the essence of the liquid. The sword became more extraordinary and faintly flashed with precious light.

After cooling, it continues to be tempered and forged.

Another three months passed, and a slender sword shining with silver light finally appeared in its entirety.

The sword is entirely bright silver, but with the addition of bronze, it also has a subtle golden hue. The hilt is cross-shaped, with a phoenix carved in the center of the guard, and the ends are crown-shaped, inlaid with red gemstones. A large ruby ​​is also inlaid at the end of the hilt.

But these gems are not real rubies, but gem shapes carved from flame crystals.

What is even more amazing is that the flame crystal that was originally extremely hot, now embedded in the hilt, does not emit a high temperature breath, nor is it hot to the touch, but just feels warm.

The sword will always emit warmth even in a cold environment, making the holder feel warm all over.

On the sword body, it is engraved in Elvish: "Duir, holds and controls the flaming sword, controls the fire of judgment, and destroys all enemies of darkness."

This Elvish text was written by Arwen. It not only records the name of the sword and its owner, but also is endowed with the will and power to judge and destroy darkness.

Looking at the work that took him a full six months to complete, Dui was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

"Flaming Sword!" Dui shouted.

The next second, the sword on the forging table disappeared instantly and then appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Feeling the weight in his hand, Dui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

During the forging process, this sword was infused with his spirit and will, and has recognized its master. No matter where he is, as long as he summons it, the sword will instantly appear in his hand.

And no one can take up the flaming sword unless he has his approval and permission.

Because the flaming sword will become extremely hot in the hands of those with bad intentions, causing burns at the very least and death at the worst.

In addition, because the Flame Sword is made of Mother Mithril, it is not only indestructible, but also contains very powerful magical properties. It can resist attacks from various spells, even the Death Curse.

And most importantly, the Flame Sword can absorb substances that strengthen itself, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

This is also the most praised and admired aspect of the fairy forging process.

Dui took out a crystal bottle of basilisk venom and poured the venom onto the sword.

The sword body was seen slowly absorbing the venom of the basilisk, and soon it gained the venom's ability to corrode and destroy everything. At the same time, the sword body was also highly toxic.

Once the flaming sword cuts the enemy's skin, the enemy will be poisoned and die instantly.

Dui was delighted to see the prey, and stabbed the sword directly into the body of the fire demon.

The Flame Sword quickly absorbed the Fire Demon's abilities, not only consuming flames to make itself stronger, but also releasing flame attacks.

He released fierce fire towards the Flame Sword, and saw that the Flame Sword swallowed up all the fierce fire like a whale. When it released the fire again, the Flame Sword took on some of the attributes of the fierce fire.

Finally, Dui endured the pain, took out the crystal bottle of Earendil's Light, and dripped a few drops of star dew onto the sword.

The star dew containing the power of starlight was slowly absorbed by the flaming sword.

The sword body seemed to have been washed, becoming purer. Even the flame crystals on the hilt became clear and transparent, without a trace of impurities. The dark aura belonging to the fire demon was washed away.

What surprised Dui even more was that when the star of Eärendil was in the sky, the sword could actively absorb starlight.

Dui was very happy about this unexpected surprise.

The light of Eärendil has a great restraining effect on dark creatures. If the flaming sword can absorb enough starlight, it will definitely be a sword that can nemesis dark creatures.

In order to allow the Flaming Sword to receive more starlight, Dui simply placed it on the top of Amon Sul'tar to receive the illumination of the Star of Eärendil.

The reforging of the Flame Sword was completed, and Dui's forging task was temporarily suspended.

Instead, he focused more on alchemy.

In fact, there are certain similarities between the goblin's forging techniques and the wizard's alchemy.

As Dui progressed in goblin crafting, he gained a greater understanding of alchemy.

His biggest goal for alchemy at present is to be able to create a philosopher's stone so that he can have the foundation for immortality.

But making a philosopher's stone is not that easy.

Even though the Book of Abraham records the method of making the Philosopher's Stone, it would be extremely difficult to make the Philosopher's Stone without a solid foundation in alchemy.

This is like asking an elementary school student to study nuclear weapons.

Even if there are very detailed production drawings, how can it be produced?
So Dui directly sought external help, that is, his future father-in-law, Lord Elrond, the most wise and knowledgeable Lord of Rivendell in Middle-earth.

Although Elrond did not approve of Dewi and Arwen being together, he loved his daughter dearly and obviously did not want to see her sad, nor did he want to see her give up the eternal life of an elf because Dewi could not live forever.

So after receiving the Philosopher's Stone production drawings and Runic Dictionary from Dui, he has been studying them silently.

Elrond, who possessed infinite wisdom and knowledge, successfully mastered the knowledge of runes in a very short time and studied it to a level that even Dui could not reach.

And he also has a deep understanding of the production of the Philosopher's Stone.
