Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 310 Magic Apprentice
The others quickly shifted from envying Bill to feeling anxious and impatient.

The lords have all said that Bill will make their wands. So they can only pray that Bill learns quickly and can make the wands for them as soon as possible.

Later, with Alvin as a witness, Duy and Bill signed a magical contract: in the future, Bill will become the official wandmaker of Hogwarts and will be responsible for making more wands for Duy to use by many wizards.

It could be said that Bill was the weapons manufacturer that Dui had cultivated for himself.

In the future, we could even consider establishing a unique wand supplier in Middle-earth, similar to Ollivanders' wand shop.

Bill stayed in the castle and learned wand-making from Duy.

The other new wizards were also allowed by Dui to stay in the castle. Although they did not yet have wands to cast spells, they could learn about magic and its theories in advance.

Duy specially set up a large classroom, then hung his own portrait on the blackboard and copied many first-year textbooks from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for these people to read.

These new wizards were eagerly learning new magical knowledge, and even without wands, they didn't find it boring.

Furthermore, Dui placed a wand suitable for everyone on the podium, allowing these magic novices to try it out one by one.

As a result, the wand became the most sought-after item, with people lining up every day to use it to cast spells they had learned.

Regardless of success or failure, each person has only one chance to cast the spell.

So some people were very excited and happy when they successfully cast a spell with their wand, even the simplest glowing spell.

Those who fail can only dejectedly put down their wands, continue to study hard, and wait for their turn to cast spells again.

Among them were those with exceptional magical talent, such as Brog, the leader of the Black Barbarian Lands, who even managed to figure out some magical tricks on his own without a wand.

For example, water can condense into ice or breath can form mist. Although the area affected is small, it is enough to make others envious and amazed.

While teaching Bill how to make wands, Duy also helped Brog, the leader of the Black Barbarians, make a wand for him.

After all, both mayors were under Duy's command, and both had wands made by Duy for them, so he couldn't show favoritism.

Thus, a wand with a shaft of aspen wood and a core of thunderbird feathers was born.

Dui was also somewhat surprised that Brog was able to use the wand properly.

Because he originally thought that these people had all fused with dragon blood, the most suitable wand core for them should be the Dragon Heartstring.

He was even worried that so many people might not be enough to satisfy Long Xinxian.

After all, there were only about fifty dead wyverns and frost dragons combined, while there were more than five hundred people waiting for the wands here.

Even if you divided the heartstrings of each dragon into several segments, it probably wouldn't be enough.

However, the materials for Brog's wand finally brought Dui a sigh of relief.

This wand is powerful and perfectly suited for combat; it can cast spells incredibly fast, like lightning.

Brog treasured the wand as soon as he got it, keeping it close at hand as if he was afraid of losing it.

Bill, who was learning wand-making from Dui, also made rapid progress.

Because of his woodcarving background, Bill was able to carve a complete wand body independently in just a few months, and he could also inscribe and build magic circuits inside the wand.

Now we are learning about the properties and knowledge of wand wood and wand core, because a skilled wand maker needs to be very familiar with each type of wand-making material and know how to combine them to achieve the greatest effect.

Therefore, Dui took Bill to the old forest to put his plan into practice, to fleece Hu'on in the forest.

With Dui's current strength, these Huon tree people can no longer pose a threat to him.

So when Huorn and his ilk tried to attack him, he froze all the surrounding trees, then broke off a branch from each tree and explained to Bill the properties of each type of wood and what kind of wizard it was suitable for.

Bill looked at his teacher with adoration. Any one of the trees around him could easily crush him into a pulp, but his teacher moved about as if he were in an empty room, casually waving his hand to freeze the trees in place, without hindering his steps in the slightest. Ever since he started learning wand-making from Dui, Bill had regarded him as his mentor, so he no longer addressed him as "sir" but rather as the more intimate "teacher."

Dui did not object to this and accepted the title.

Thus, Bill became Duy's first formal student.

As more and more trees were immobilized, the Hu'on and his companions seemed to realize they couldn't do anything to the two, so they simply stopped attacking and became quiet again, just like ordinary trees.

Dui was allowed to break off a branch from them.

To the likes of Hu'on, these branches are like human hair; breaking off a few sections has no effect.

But in the eyes of the wand maker, these magical woods are the perfect materials for making wands.

Looking around at the magical wood everywhere he looked, Bill, who was just starting out as a wand maker, exclaimed with delight, "Teacher, this place is simply a treasure trove, a paradise for wand makers! With this old forest here, we'll never lack materials for making wands in the future!"

Dui nodded in agreement.

The old forest is inhabited by a large number of Huorn, whose branches possess magical properties and can be used to make wands. It is also not far from Wind and Cloud Peak.

For the two wand makers, Dui and Bill, it was a treasure trove of wand materials.

Dui smiled and said to Bill, "Next time you're choosing wand wood, you'll have to come and collect it yourself. These trees aren't very good-natured, so you'll have to learn some defensive magic when you get back, or you'll be the one who suffers."

Upon hearing this, Bill glanced at the menacing trees around him, and recalling their frenzied attack, he shuddered.
Once he has made his own wand, he will study spells diligently so that he won't get smashed into mincemeat by these trees when he comes to collect wand materials again.

After plundering almost all the largest trees, Duy and Bill returned to Hogwarts Castle with enough materials to make thousands of wands.

As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, but the practice depends on yourself." After teaching Dui about wand making, he simply let go and focused his attention on other things.

Bill also began to try making wands on his own.

He processed the branches he brought back from the old forest, shaping them into the prototypes of magic wands.

There are also materials for the staff core, such as dragon heartstrings, thunderbird feathers, giant eagle feathers, elf hair, giant spider nerves, and ogre tendons.

These are the materials that Dui selected as having the most magical properties and being suitable for making wand cores.

Dragon Heartstring, Giant Eagle Feather, Elf Hair, and Thunderbird Feather are especially suitable as staff cores.

Long Xinxian's wand is the most powerful and has the fastest reaction, enabling it to unleash more explosive magic;

A wand adorned with giant eagle feathers possesses exceptional loyalty and is well-suited for unleashing powerful and creative magic.

Wands made of elven hair are the most stable and least prone to going astray, producing the most consistent magical effects, but their drawback is that they are extremely resistant to dark magic.

As for the Thunderbird Feather Wand, it possesses extremely high magical adaptability, allowing for rapid casting and immense power.

Dui used these four magical materials as the main materials for wand cores, combining them with various types of wood to create different wands.

Bill inherited Duy's idea and used wood brought back from the old forest, along with these four materials, to make suitable wands for himself and others who did not have wands.

Making wands is not easy, and Bill unsurprisingly failed from the start. One by one, the broken wands piled up, forming a small mountain.

While Bill was busy, Dui was equally busy building with wood.

He cut a section of the tussock tree, as thick as a bucket, into planks, and after a series of processing steps, he created two solid wood wardrobes.

This time, he plans to create a vanishing cabinet for the magical world, a long-distance teleportation cabinet that can ignore distance and anti-magic.
