Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 312 City Teleportation

After creating this pair of vanishing cabinets, Dui was not satisfied.

In his view, the current Vanishing Cabinets are made of wood and are easily damaged. Even a simple cut on the Vanishing Cabinets could cause their teleportation ability to malfunction or become completely ineffective.

So he considered whether to use other hard materials to replace wood.

When it comes to hard materials, metals are undoubtedly the best choice.

While ordinary metals are hard, they do not possess magical properties, whereas the materials used to make the Vanishing Cabinet require materials with strong magical properties.

The wood used to make the Vanishing Cabinet must be magical wood; ordinary wood simply won't do.

Among metals with strong magical properties, mithril is undoubtedly the best.

Dui happens to have plenty of mithril. He has a 10% share in the Moria mines, and every year Balin sends someone to deliver his share of mithril.

These mithril ore stones are now piled up in the vault, serving as cushions for Smaug.

Moreover, the Mother of Mithril, which he originally buried in the belly of Fengyun Peak Mountain, is gradually radiating and transforming the surrounding iron ore into Mithril.

Although the current output is small, it is still a sustainable source of mithril.

So, under Smaug's mournful gaze, Dui took a pile of mithril ore and threw it into the furnace to smelt.

Then, the entire structure was cast into the shape of the Vanishing Cabinet, and runes were engraved on it.

Furthermore, Dui, referencing the improved principle of the two-way mirror, felt that the Vanishing Cabinet could only be transported in pairs, which was too wasteful.

So after spending several months improving the vanishing cabinet, a new vanishing cabinet was finally born.

Dui built a total of six new Vanishing Cabinets.

These vanishing cabinets are made of mithril, making them incredibly hard and indestructible by ordinary means, and their teleportation capabilities are extremely stable.

More importantly, Dui designed a rotating pointer on the vanishing cabinet door, surrounded by blocks of various colors, labeled with names such as "Valley", "Lorean", and "Eisengard".

Once the pointer is moved to the corresponding name, the vanishing cabinet will be connected to the vanishing cabinet corresponding to each name, thus allowing you to connect from one vanishing cabinet to other vanishing cabinets.

Dui then sent the Vanishing Cabinet to the Valley, Lorien, Eisengard, Brie, and Hogsmeade.

The remaining vanished cabinet remained inside the castle.

Elrond of the Valley and Galadriel and Celeborn of Lorean were all amazed and full of admiration for this new object, the Vanishing Cabinet.

At the same time, they also regard this gift from Dui as a strategic weapon, so that if there is a crisis in the Valley or Lorien in the future, a large number of people can be quickly transferred through the Vanishing Cabinet.

Unlike the elves, the Vanishing Cabinets of Brie, Hogsmeade, and Eisengard were placed in the plaza by Dui as a portal connecting the three locations.

Residents of Bree can travel to Hogsmeade via the Vanishing Cabinet, and residents of Hogsmeade can also travel to Bree. Additionally, Black Barbarians from Eisengard can also travel to either Bree or Hogsmeade via the Vanishing Cabinet.

It can be said that the emergence of the disappearing cabinet has directly brought residents of the three places closer together.

Of course, going to other places through the Vanishing Cabinet isn't free.

The cost is not expensive for ordinary people and is within their affordability. However, for merchants who want to do business through the disappearing vault, the fee is based on the value of the goods.

Dui entrusted these matters to the two mayors and Brog, the leader of the Black Barbarians, and the three of them discussed and decided on them.

With Dui's current wealth, he wouldn't be greedy for such a small amount of money. But he also didn't want his people to develop the idea of ​​getting something for nothing.

After all, he knew the principle that great kindness can turn into enmity.

However, the residents of the three places obviously had no objection to this, and instead felt it was a matter of course.

After all, the lord had specially created such a magical vanishing cabinet for them, which could save them from long journeys and allow them to arrive at another place in the blink of an eye, which was beyond their imagination.

Even in order to experience this magical disappearing cabinet, residents from all three locations crowded into the square, waving coins and forming long queues to travel to other places for a visit.

Those business-savvy merchants were especially delighted.

In the past, they had to travel long distances to transport goods, which was not only arduous but also involved risks along the way.

But now, by simply using the disappearing cabinet, most of the time and travel can be saved.

Merchants transported goods from Brie to Hogsmeade via the Vanishing Cabinet for sale.

Hogsmeade's agricultural products and handicrafts are also sold to Bryce City through the Vanishing Cabinet.

The vanishing cabinet in Essengarde also attracts just as many visitors as the previous two cities.

Dui did not place the Vanishing Cabinet of Eisengard inside Osank Tower, but instead placed it in the Black Barbarian tribe.

So some clever merchants transported goods directly from Brie or Hogsmeade through the Vanishing Cabinet to Eisengard to trade with the Black Barbarians, and even to nearby Rohan and Gondor for sale.

The Black Barbarians also had clever individuals who transported their tribe's cattle, sheep, and horses to Brie or Hogsmeade for sale via the Vanishing Cabinet.

In addition to residents of the three cities, itinerant merchants from other places also choose the disappearing cabinets in the three cities to shorten their journey and time.

Merchants who previously traveled between the Eriador region and Gondor Rohan in the south via the North-South Highway were willing to transport goods through the Vanishing Container, even if it required paying more fees.

Previously, it would take at least a month to transport goods from the south to Eliado, not only because of the long distance but also because of the constant worry about encountering robbers and bandits along the way.

One wrong move and you could lose both your money and your possessions; in more serious cases, you could even lose your life.

But now, with the Vanishing Cabinet, these risks have been avoided.

Therefore, many merchants from Rohan and Gondor brought large quantities of goods to Eisengard, traveled to Buri and Hogsmeade via the Vanishing Vault, and then returned the goods from those two places to Rohan and Gondor for sale.

In a short time, Hogsmeade and Bree became even more prosperous.

Meanwhile, the Black Barbarian tribe developed rapidly, not only making a lot of money by collecting fees from the Vanishing Cabinet, but also starting their own businesses, selling various livestock products to Eliador.

While the three regions under Duy's rule were bustling with activity, Hogwarts Castle was also becoming lively.

Having learned wand-making techniques from Dui, Bill has not only successfully made his own wand, but has also made wands for more than 500 other people.

Having obtained the wand they had longed for, all the wizards were overjoyed and couldn't wait to start trying to cast spells.

For the past six months, they have been studying magical theories and knowledge in the castle. In addition to receiving guidance from the portrait of Dui, they also receive occasional pointers from Alvin and Dui.

Aside from not having a wand, he was no longer a complete novice who knew nothing about magic.
