Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 277 The Birth of the Thunderbird
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
More than two months have passed since the engagement, and the year is drawing to a close.

After their engagement, Dui and Alvin officially became a couple. Although they were not yet officially married, they could openly be together.

Although Dui was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't marry Alvin, he found some solace in being able to hold his fiancée's hand openly in public and go on dates without any restraint.

For a while after their engagement, Dui and Alwen spent all their time together, their footprints covering every corner of the Valley, Lorien, and Windcloud Peak.

The fishermen of Hogsmeade at the foot of Windrise Peak are sometimes lucky enough to catch a glimpse of their lord on the other side of the lake, strolling along the shore with a beautiful, radiant elf girl, or teasing the white Alavoo bison.

During this time, Duy also held a grand birthday party for Bilbo at Hogwarts Castle and gave him a bottle of the Elixir of Immortality as a birthday gift.

After several months of leisure, Dui quickly returned to his normal routine when an incident occurred.

By the end of the year, the Fuling potion that had been made was finally about to be completed.

Dui looked at the golden liquid in the brown flask, and at the golden droplets splashing on its surface, and a smile appeared on his face.

After more than half a year, Fuling Medicine was finally a success.

Dui took out three small brown medicine bottles and dispensed the Felix potion from the flask.

A small bottle of Felix Felicis is enough to bring twelve hours of good luck.

A small bottle contains about three or four sips; one sip can bring three or four hours of good luck.

Although Fructoberrench is a miraculous medicine, it should not be taken in excess. Overdosing can cause dizziness, recklessness, and arrogance, and it is also highly toxic when taken in large quantities.

Therefore, even the Potions Master Slughorn only took Felix Felicis three times in his life.

Once when he was 24, once when he was 57, and the last time was during the Battle of Hogwarts, when he took the Felix Felicis potion and survived the war unscathed.

Of the three small bottles of Fructus Ferulic, Dui planned to keep one for himself.

Dui then divided the remaining two bottles into four, each enough for six hours of luck.

He gave one bottle to Glorfindel as a token of gratitude for his previous donation of blood, since Glorfindel had given him ten drops of elven blood, enough for him to make ten pots of Heracles Elixir.

A bottle of Dui was given to Gandalf as a token of gratitude for his help during this time.

The remaining two bottles were given to Alvin and her father-in-law, Elrond.

Having obtained the Felix potion, Dui was naturally eager to experience its effects.

In particular, he could definitely give it a try, especially with the Phoenix Animagus that he had always longed for.

However, to ensure maximum safety, Dui decided to use the Felix potion for the first time to design the Thunderbird's magic circulation system.

It just so happens that his and Gandalf's research on the Thunderbird's magical transformation had been stalled for a long time without much progress, so they decided to try the Felix Felicis potion and see if they could improve it through luck.
Gandalf remained in the valley after his engagement.

When Duy went to see Gandalf, he also gave Gandalf, Glorfindel, Elrond, and Arwen four vials of Felix Felicis.

Having obtained the lucky potion that could make people lucky, Elrond and the others were also very curious.

However, they all knew that this lucky potion could play an unexpected role in critical moments, so none of them took it rashly, but carried it with them in case of emergency.

Gandalf and Duy returned to Windrise, and Arwen followed them.

On the enormous Maurice Tree platform, Dui, Gandalf, and Arwen were gathered.

“Duir, what are you planning to do?” Gandalf asked.

Dui took out his Felix Felicis potion and said solemnly, "This time I plan to take the Felix Felicis potion and use its power to complete the Thunderbird's magical transformation. However, time is limited, and we can't use other test subjects, so we can only perform the magical transformation directly on Zorondo and try to succeed on the first try."

"Of course, this means huge risks. If the Felix Felicis potion isn't lucky enough, it could lead to a serious magical transformation accident, which could result in loss of reason or even death by exploding!"

Dui turned to look at the giant eagle, Sorondo, and asked again in a serious tone, "Sorondo, are you sure you want to take this risk?"

Zorodo couldn't speak, but he nodded with a very firm look in his eyes.

Having received the answer, Dui stopped trying to persuade him. Since Zoro wanted to become stronger, he wouldn't stop him.

I just secretly prayed that the Felix potion would really work and ensure a smooth transformation process.

He then opened the bottle of Felix Felicis, poured out two spoonfuls, and drank them.

This dose should be enough to give him six hours of good luck; that should be sufficient.

The moment Dui drank the Felix Felicis potion, he felt a warm current rush to his head, and he became very confident and lucky, as if nothing could stop him.

"Duir, how are you feeling?" Gandalf and Alvin looked at him curiously.

“I feel…very good!” Dui’s face was full of smiles and confidence.

"Alright, let's begin!"

He then drew his wand, aimed it at the giant eagle Zorondo, and began casting a Transfiguration Charm. Zorondo, now enormous with a wingspan of fifty meters, began to shrink under the effect of the Transfiguration Charm.

Its enormous wings continued to shrink until they were only ten meters long, and a pair of secondary wings grew out. The tail feathers behind it also grew out rapidly, producing two long phoenix feathers.

Zorondo's giant eagle appearance hasn't changed much, but his overall look has become that of a thunderbird.

Even at this stage, it's merely an external transformation; Zorodo is still essentially a giant eagle.

Transforming a gigantic eagle requires a considerable amount of magic power.

However, this is not a pressure for Dui, who is now an Obscurial and whose magic power is increasing rapidly.

Moreover, with Gandalf, who possesses the Ring of Fire, by his side, he had no worries about expending his magic power.

After completing the surface deformation, Dui's next step was to deform the magic within Zorondo's body, forcibly altering and reshaping Zorondo's magic circulation system.

Dui and Gandalf had already been able to magically transform into the "Thunderbird" that released electricity, although the amount of electricity released was pitifully small, it was still a result.

As Dui continuously channeled magic into Zorondo's body, forcibly altering his magical circuits, Zorondo trembled in pain, but he never resisted and persevered.

Dui gradually replaced the original magic circulation path with the previous basic version of the "Thunderbird" magic circulation system.

Finally, after the new magic circulation system completely replaced the original magic circulation system of the giant eagle, Zorondo began to release wisps of electricity from his feathers, gaining the ability to generate electricity.

At this moment, Zorodo has completely transformed into another being, and even the transformation spell cannot turn him back to his original form.

Even at this stage, it's still based on the results of Dui and Gandalf's previous research.

Previously, Dui and Gandalf successfully transformed a giant spider into a lightning-emitting "Thunderbird" using magic.

Perhaps because the giant eagle's magic was stronger than the giant spider's, the electricity released by Zorodo's "Thunderbird" form was several times greater than that of the giant spider.

Even so, this "Thunderbird" is still far from the real Thunderbird.

The real Thunderbird is a powerful and magical creature capable of creating storms, bringing torrential rains to cover New York City, and unleashing lightning; it is born with a mastery of weather magic.

Because they lacked a reference point and a clue, Dui and Gandalf's previous Thunderbird transformation experiment got stuck at this step and made no progress.

But Dui, who had taken the Felix Felicis potion, seemed to have divine assistance.

In his eyes, the magic circulation system within Zorondo's body looked awkward in many ways, and he felt that changing the route would make things much better.

Driven by this inexplicable feeling, Dui once again tried to improve and perfect these magic circuits.

He slightly adjusted and changed some of the magic circuits, and the electricity on Zorondo instantly became much brighter.

Seeing that it was working, Dui's eyes lit up, and he immediately continued to modify the magic circuits in other places.

The magical energy circulation system within a magical creature is like a very complex meridian diagram, which, under Dui's changes and adjustments, has become increasingly complete and smooth.

When adjusting magic circuits, Dui sometimes even inadvertently makes them better.

However, during the process of refining and improving the system, Dui did not have a smooth journey. When he encountered the core of the magic circuit, he slightly changed a magic path, which immediately triggered overall magic chaos and conflict.

Terrified, Dui frantically tried to suppress the surging magic, then frantically made adjustments.

Just when Dui himself thought he was going to fail, he accidentally designed a more perfect magic path.

As time went by, Zorondo's magic circulation system became more and more perfect.

However, the magic circulation system is far too complex, and even if Dui succeeds very smoothly, he cannot improve all the magic circuits in a short period of time.

Seeing that the effects of the Felix Ferulic were running out, Dui was preparing to take the Felix Ferulic again.

However, Gandalf beat him to it, taking out the Felix Felicis potion that Dui had given him, drinking half of it, and gaining three hours of good fortune.

“This Felixir is truly miraculous! I feel like I’m blessed with good fortune, as if I can succeed at anything!” Gandalf exclaimed.

He then began to help Dui improve the magic circulation system within Zorondo's body.

Gandalf truly deserves his reputation as a wise man; under the influence of the Felix Felicis, his abilities far surpassed those of Dui by countless times.

He could always quickly grasp a spark of inspiration, spot problems with the magic path at a glance, find the best path, and guide Dui to quickly improve and adjust the magic circuit.

Even though the effects of Dui's Felix Felicis had worn off, under Gandalf's constant guidance, Saurondo's magical circulation system became more and more perfect.

Gandalf even had a flash of inspiration and incorporated his lightning-summoning magic into the operation of magic, giving it even greater power.

Finally, the magic cycle system became so perfect that it could not be altered any further, as if it were a creation of nature.

A perfect Thunderbird was born!
