Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 182 Beigang
Weathertop is the southernmost peak in Weather Hills.

Dui rode the giant eagle all the way north, crossing the endless Wind and Cloud Hills and then passing through a plain area.

This was Dui's first time riding the giant eagle Thorondor, and the riding experience was pretty good.

Sorondo's current size has far exceeded that of the Eagle King, with a wingspan of up to 50 meters. Perhaps only the ancestor of the giant eagle clan, the real Sorondo, can be larger than the young eagle Sorondo.

And all this is thanks to the tree people's Ent Drink.

The treant leader Treebeard liked Thorondo very much. Every time Dewi sent Thorondo to Fangorn Forest to trade for Ent drinks with plant growth potions, Thorondo would receive additional Ent drinks sponsorship from Treebeard.

So Sorondo's size continued to expand as if there was no end.

If Thorondor wanted, he could return to the Eagle's Nest in the Misty Mountains and compete for the title of Eagle King.

However, Dui did not have this idea, and Sorondo also had no ambition.

Although Sorondo is huge in size, he is still an immature bird. In addition to patrolling his territory every day, he goes to the sky above the Black Lake to fight with the giant octopus Kraken.

I don't know if these two guys are born to dislike each other. The giant eagle Thorondo always tries to provoke the giant octopus Kraken, and the giant octopus Kraken is not polite either. It directly uses its long tentacles to try to pull Thorondo down or spray water into the sky.

The two guys' regular performances also kept the people of Hogsmeade entertained.

But they also knew their limits. Although they fought and made some noise, they didn't cause any big trouble, so Dui just ignored them.

This trip, I can finally have some peace and quiet for a while.

The giant eagle was very fast. In less than half a day, Dui finally saw the hills at the end of the plain in the distance.

The hills looked like a high dam, blocking the plains to the north.

This long stretch of hills is the North Hill of the Eriador region.

It is also the location of the ancient city of Fornost.

Fornost was the former capital of the Kingdom of Arthedain. After the Kingdom of Arnor split, the three kingdoms of Cardolan, Arthedain, and Rhudaur were formed.

Among them, the Barrowdown is located in the territory of the Kingdom of Cardolan. It was turned into ruins with the invasion of the army of the Witch-king of Angmar. The Barrowdown was also polluted by the evil power of the Witch-king of Angmar, and the evil spirits occupied the corpses in the ancient tombs and turned them into wights.

Shortly after the fall of Cardolan, Arthedain was also destroyed by the Witch-king of Angmar, and its former capital, Fornost, was reduced to ruins.

Frost is located at the southern end of Beigang, and Dui soon arrived above the ruins of this ancient city.

But when he looked down, he couldn't help but frown.

Because here, like the ancient mound, the entire ancient city ruins and the surrounding area are filled with an evil force.

Affected by evil forces, the sky above Fornost was covered by thick dark clouds and fog, making it extremely desolate and dark, with a sinister aura.

The giant eagle Thorondo was a little restless, circling vigilantly and unwilling to get close.

Dui patted his back soothingly and said, "Okay, Thorondo, don't worry, just land first."

Although Thorondo sensed the danger, he still landed and stopped in front of the ruins of the ancient city of Fornost.

Dui jumped down from the giant eagle's back, looked at the ruins of the ancient city and the ancient tombs everywhere, and muttered to himself.

Could it be that there are also corpse demons here?
He tried to query the system, but there was no response.

Obviously, he needed to go deep into the ruins.

Seeing this, Dui was not too disappointed. He asked Sorondo to provide assistance at any time in the air, and he continued to move forward.

Dui walked across the gravel and along the dilapidated and deserted road to the city gate.

As soon as I stepped in, the dormant evil power seemed to be reawakened, the surrounding black fog suddenly surged, and the air became gloomy and cold.

Suddenly, a spirit emitting an evil aura emerged from the ground.

It looked like a phantom, or a ball of black gas, with a faint light flashing in the hollow, dark eyes of the skull, and it stretched out its sharp claws and pounced towards Dui.

"Tear into pieces!" Dui quickly cast a spell attack.

But the spell went straight through the evil spirit and hit the stone behind it without causing any harm to the other party.

The evil spirit was very fast, like a flash of shadow. Dui had no time to cast a second spell and could only quickly dodge to the side.

The evil spirit missed its target, but did not give up and attacked him again ferociously.

"Flaming Sword!" Dui stretched out his hand and summoned.

The flaming sword instantly appeared in his hand, and he immediately slashed at the evil spirit with the sword.

The evil spirit controlled its own body, ignored the threat of the sword, and continued to attack Dui.

But the next second, the evil spirit paid the price for its actions.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the evil spirit was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. The spirit body was instantly corroded and melted, and then completely disappeared.

Dui was not surprised to see this. His flaming sword not only absorbed the basilisk venom and fierce fire that could destroy Horcruxes, but also the light of Eärendil that could restrain evil forces. If it still couldn't destroy an evil spirit, it would be a waste.

However, after solving the evil spirit, Dui did not relax.

That evil spirit was just an appetizer, the main course was to come.

Sure enough, the next second, countless evil spirits emerged from the ground and graves. There were men, women, old people and children, and they surrounded them from all directions. There were thousands of them!
These evil spirits were once residents of the city of Fornost. Unfortunately, they died in the attack of the Witch-king of Angmar. They were also corrupted and manipulated by the Witch-king of Angmar with dark powers and turned into evil spirits.

With the appearance of these evil spirits, the air around them became very cold, and all kinds of resentment, unwillingness, fear and other emotions filled the surroundings, making people feel suffocated and depressed.

However, Dui had the flaming sword in his hand, and these evil forces could not affect him.

The evil spirits, devoid of reason, charged menacingly at Dui, attempting to kill him. "Guardian Angel!"

A dazzling silver light shot out from Dui and transformed into a huge silver barrier, rapidly expanding in all directions and blowing away all the densely packed evil spirits.

A giant owl guardian, flapping its silver wings, rushed towards the evil spirit.

The sharp claws pierced through the evil spirit directly, and the evil spirit could no longer maintain its spiritual body and quickly disappeared.

Dui also wielded a flaming sword, constantly destroying evil spirits.

With the attacks of the guardian god and Dui, the number of evil spirits continued to decrease.

And at this moment, the system finally responded.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating Beigang-Fornost, do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in!" Dui continued to kill the evil spirits.

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the Dark Mark magic! ]

Dark Mark? Dui was stunned for a moment, then continued to kill the evil spirit.

He didn't expect to get this on this sign-in.

In his impression, the Dark Mark was a magic created by Voldemort to facilitate contact and control of Death Eaters, which would leave a mark on the Death Eaters' arms.

But what was he going to do with it? Mark his men with a tattoo like Voldemort did?
Now that the sign-in is complete, Dui should have left.

But Dui considered that this place was not far from Weathertop. If the Witch-king of Angmar controlled these evil spirits in the future and went south to invade Weathertop, it would also be a trouble.

Although he is not afraid of these evil spirits, there are still tens of thousands of people living at the foot of Fengyunding Mountain.

In order to prevent hidden dangers, Dui decided to clear out the evil spirits here.

But at this moment, a cry like that of both a wolf and a dog came from Beigang Mountain.

The remaining evil spirits seemed to have heard an order and quickly floated towards the direction where the cry came from.

Dui's eyes fixed as he looked towards Beigang Mountain in the distance.

There was clearly something there to control the evil spirits.

Dui shouted at the giant eagle circling in the sky, and Thorondo swooped down from the sky and stopped in front of Dui in an instant.

Dui jumped onto the giant eagle's back and pointed in the direction the evil spirits were drifting. "Thorondo, catch up with those evil spirits!"

Sorondo nodded, spread his wings and flew high, carrying Dui towards the Beigang Mountains.

Just as Dui caught up with the evil spirit and continued to kill it with the guardian god.

Countless sharp arrows shot towards Dui and the giant eagle under him.

"Armor protection!"

An invisible barrier protected Dui and the giant eagle, blocking all the arrows.

Dui looked in the direction from which the arrow came, and saw countless tunnels and caves between the hills. There were many evil creatures with short stature, thick limbs, green skin, and big, bulging eyes, attacking them.

Dui frowned. He had heard rumors about these creatures, but he didn't expect that there were so many goblins in Beigang Mountain.

That’s right, these creatures are called goblins, but they have nothing to do with the goblins in the magical world. They are a kind of orcs.

They were not as tall and strong as the Orcs, but were more like the goblins that Dui and his companions had seen in Goblin Town during their expedition to the Lonely Mountain.

Moreover, they are even shorter than goblins, and are considered the shortest type of orcs.

And unlike Orcs and Goblins who can communicate in Black Speech or even human language, the language of these goblins has degenerated, and they usually make sharp calls and roars to communicate and convey information.

But no matter what they are called, these things are orcs.

When Dui sees the orcs, he naturally will not show mercy.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

A dazzling magic spell hit the goblin cave, a huge explosion sounded instantly, the cave mountain collapsed rapidly, and countless goblins were directly killed.

The goblins lived up to their arrogant appearance and all fled in fear, or hid in caves.

But Dui's attention was not entirely focused on these goblins.

Suddenly, the evil spirits seemed to have a target and quickly drilled into the bodies of the dead goblins.

Then, like a zombie resurrected, it stood up again with its stiff and twisted body, roaring.

The guardian angel also completely lost its effect on the evil spirits hiding in the bodies of the fairies.

Dui frowned.

He gripped the flaming sword tightly and slashed hard at the goblins possessed by evil spirits.

The sword instantly shot out a scorching-hot air blade, which cut through the void, and even the air seemed to be burned and distorted, and in an instant it hit the goblin heavily.

The goblin's body was instantly split in two and even burned.

But the evil spirit only became a little weaker, crawled out of the broken body, and quickly crawled into another goblin body.
