Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 298 Double-Way Mirror

They stayed in Lorien for almost a month before bidding farewell to Caleborn and Galadriel and crossing the Anduin River to continue their journey north.

On their way north, they made a detour to visit Redagast, a brown-robed wizard who lived in the dense forest.

After a brief stop, we continued north, crossing the old ferry crossing and the old route through the dense forest, and arrived at Beon's cabin.

Beorn warmly welcomed the two of them.

Beorn is now the ruler of the Anduin Valley, whose territory extends from the foot of the Misty Mountains in the west to the edge of Mirkwood in the east, from north of Kal'r Rock in the north to south of the Old Forest Route in the south.

Moreover, he is not alone now. While chasing an orc in the Misty Mountains, he unexpectedly rescued a woman who was also a skin-changing human.

The two fell in love at first sight and quickly got together. When they got married, Dui was one of the few people who attended.

Beorn now has a newborn son named Grim Beorn.

Even the usually stern Beorn showed a loving father's affection for his son, revealing a silly, fatherly grin.

Dui couldn't help but like Grimm, who was even stronger than an average child, and gave him an alchemical pendant made of mithril. It could automatically form a shield to block attacks when in danger.

Inside the pendant box is a permanently fixed space, the size of a house, which only the wearer can open.

Moreover, it can slowly recover its magic power after it is depleted, making it a reusable life-saving item.

“This is too precious! We can’t accept it!” Upon hearing the purpose of the locket, Beon knew how valuable it was and quickly declined.

Dui ignored Beon and put the locket around Little Grimm's neck. The locket immediately shrank to a suitable size, not cumbersome, and automatically recognized its owner, so no one else could take it off.

"This is for little Grimm, not for you. Does little Grimm like it?" Dui teased Grimm with a smile, without even glancing at Beon.

Grimm seemed to recognize its value, gripping the locket tightly with his little hands and giggling happily.

Seeing this, Beon did not refuse again and thanked Dui.

Alwen also liked Grimm very much, so she took out an elven cloak and wrapped it around Grimm, which would make him invisible and difficult to be discovered.

Seeing how much Alvin loved children, Dui whispered suggestively in her ear, "Look, Beon already has a son. Why don't we try harder and have a few kids to play with soon, so the castle can be more lively?"

Alvin's cheeks flushed red, and she nervously looked at the Beorn family across the street. Only then did she realize that Dui was communicating telepathically, and she gave him a rare glare.

Aren't you ashamed to talk such nonsense in front of others?
After being warmly welcomed and invited to stay by Beon for three days, Dui and Alwen finally bid farewell to the Beon family and set off again.

This time, Dui did not choose to continue north, but instead went west across the Misty Mountains to the Valley.

The Misty Mountains are towering and precipitous. Although the High Pass is one of the important passages between the two sides of the Misty Mountains, it is obviously not suitable for horse-drawn carriages.

So this time, Dui didn't choose to travel slowly on the ground, but instead flew directly over the Misty Mountains.

Pegasus pulled the flying chariot through the high pass and encountered a storm.

And once again, they were unlucky enough to run into a rock giant who was throwing stones.

The sight of the carriage flying high in the sky aroused the interest of the rock giants, whose enormous rocky hands parted the clouds and reached out to grab the carriage.

The Pegasus was so startled by the rock giants that it almost lost its footing, letting out terrified and anxious cries as it desperately tried to escape the rock giants' clutches. Facing these mountain-like rock giants, Dui dared not be careless either, immediately leaving the carriage, transforming into Obscurus form, and charging towards the rock giants' hands.

The silent, black mist successfully blocked the giant rock giant's hand that was reaching for the carriage, and even pushed the hand away, causing the rock giant to stumble and fall down the mountain.

It smashed the boulder that was crashing down on the carriage, and then charged at the heads of several rock giants.

With a deafening roar, the rock giant, top-heavy from the impact, tumbled backward and crashed heavily onto the mountain peak, causing a landslide.

Dui didn't intend to kill these unruly rock giants; he just wanted to get rid of them.

Then, a part of Silent Ran's body quickly extended into a long whip, which lashed heavily onto the rock giant.

Accompanied by a pained howl from the rock giant, countless fragments of rock fell from its body.

The rock giant initially tried to resist, but after Dui lashed it a few times with his whip, it immediately began to dodge and beg for mercy in a sorry state.

After driving the rock giants hundreds of miles north, Dui stopped and transformed back into human form.

They then reunited with Alwen and continued flying towards the valley.

Elrond was overjoyed by the arrival of Dui and Alwen, and seeing his daughter's happy face, he was finally completely relieved.

This was their daughter's first time back home since her wedding, so Elrond invited the two of them to stay for a few more days.

Dui readily agreed.

Aside from dating Alwen, he would discuss the situation in Middle-earth with Elrond, train with his brothers-in-law Elrohir and Elladan, or go to the library to read.

In addition, Dui also took the time to make a pair of two-way mirrors.

The principle behind making two-way mirrors is not complicated; it's just that the technique has been lost in the magical world, which makes them seem precious.

Dui gave one side of the two-way mirror to Elrond and the other to Alwen, so that the two could talk at any time, no matter how far apart they were.

Elrond was pleased with the gift, which eased his reluctance to part with his daughter after her marriage.

The only thing that Dui was dissatisfied with about the two-way mirror was that it could only communicate one-on-one, and could not be used like a video call to contact other two-way mirror owners or for one-to-many communication.

In response, Dui thought that perhaps he could try to improve it, if he could make different two-way mirrors communicate with each other, just like a mobile phone call.

Just like the cell phones of the previous life, it could not only make video calls but also leave messages, turning it into a network, which would be an invention that could change the entire Central Continent.

With this in mind, Dui decided to gather ideas from all sides and explained his plan to Alwen, Elrond, Elrohir, and Elladan.

Everyone was very interested in this two-way mirror concept, since the only thing in Central Continent that possessed this long-distance communication capability was the True Knowledge Crystal.

However, the Stones of Knowledge are extremely precious and limited in number. To this day, only four Stones of Knowledge are known to still exist, in the possession of Dui, Gandalf, the Regent of Gondor, and Sauron.

However, if everyone had a two-way mirror that could contact others at any time, it would be enough to replace the True Knowledge Crystal and become a tool for long-distance communication.
