Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 70 Rock Giant
When it comes to this, Dui is also a little hesitant.

He had a large piece of willow heart in his hand to make the body of the staff, but willow heart was only the most suitable magical wood he had encountered so far, and it was not the best choice for the staff body.

Now that he had such a precious magic gem as the Elf Gem, he naturally wanted to find a tree with the strongest magical properties and then forge a powerful staff.

In this case, Willow Heart seems a bit ordinary.

"Gandalf, you are very knowledgeable. Do you have any recommendations for the material of the staff?"

Gandalf pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the most magical trees in Middle-earth are the Ents. They are tree herders created by Yavanna, the goddess of plants. Even the Huorn in the Old Forest are controlled by the Ents."

"Darraghast has a good relationship with the tree people of Fangorn Forest. Perhaps we can ask him to help us get a tree branch to make a staff."

"The next is the Maelstrom of Lothlórien. They are sacred trees that grow in the western holy land of Valinor. They are descendants of the sacred trees created by the plant goddess Yavanna in imitation of the golden tree, one of the two sacred trees. They contain powerful magic."

"Lady Galadriel brought the seeds of the Mael'lon tree to Lórien and planted them there, giving the Golden Forest its name. If you wish to use the branches of the Mael'lon tree to make a staff, you must go to Lórien and obtain Lady Galadriel's permission."

"There is another tree that is even harder to find. It is called the White Tree. It is a descendant of the Silver Tree, one of the Two Trees. It is also the symbol of the Númenor people and Gondor. In Minas Tirith, the holy city of Gondor in the south, there is a White Tree, but it has withered."

After hearing Gandalf's words, Dewi also began to think.

Except for the Holy White Tree which is hard to find and needs to be excluded, the other two can be considered.

But in comparison, the Mauron tree in Lórien seemed easier to obtain. After all, Galadriel had invited him to visit Lórien and promised to make a wand for Arwen.

As for Fangorn Forest, I heard that the tree people there have bad tempers, especially since I have conflicts with their close relative, Huorn of the Old Forest. I wonder if it will be affected?
Forget it, let’s see when the time comes!

Dewy decided to consider the matter after his trip to Lonely Mountain was over.

But speaking of wands, Dewi also agreed to make a wand for Gandalf.

Now the body of the magic wand has been completed, only the core is missing.

Lady Galadriel gave him five strands of hair. These strands contained magic and the glory of the Two Trees, possessed incredible power, and were the best material for making the wand core.

Three of them belonged to the siblings Elrohir, Elladan, and Arwen. One of the remaining two was originally intended to be used as the core of Gandalf's wand, but it turned out that it was not suitable for Gandalf.

Just like the elven rings they each wore, Gandalf belonged to fire, while Galadriel was water, and the magic of the two did not mix.

So Dui could only put the remaining two hairs into his pocket with a smile of regret on his face.

Galadriel's hair carries her blessing, holding the power to resist darkness and protect the soul.

The most terrifying thing about the devil Sauron is not his destructive power, but his power to corrupt people's minds and lead them to depravity. For example, the nine ring spirits were originally kings of humans, but their minds were corrupted by Sauron through the nine rings, and they eventually became his most loyal servants.

Even a Maia like Gandalf dared not touch the One Ring.

With Dui's current strength and willpower, if he faced Sauron directly, he would be unable to resist the spiritual erosion of the dark power.

But with Galadriel's hair, he didn't have to worry about his mind being eroded and twisted.

Guided by the Stone of Truth, Dewi and Gandalf headed towards the High Pass of the Misty Mountains.

We encountered a thunderstorm on the way.

"Waterproof and moisture-proof!" Dewi cast a spell on himself and Gandalf. Even in the heavy rain, the two of them remained clean and not a drop of rain got on them.

"Thank goodness for your magic," Gandalf said with a smile, "but Thorin and the others are in such a bad state. I'm afraid they are soaked to the skin by now."

But he looked at the thunderstorm and huge tremors in the mountains, and looked towards the high pass with some worry.

"It's said that rock giants roam around here. I just hope they don't encounter them, otherwise the mountains will really collapse and their lives will be in danger!" "Gandalf, are you sure you don't have the talent for prophecy?" Dui looked at him with a complicated expression, then handed him the True Knowledge Crystal, gesturing for him to look at its contents.

Gandalf felt something was wrong when he heard this and quickly looked into the crystal ball.

In the picture, you can see several rock giants as tall as mountains, throwing boulders at each other for fun, which looks like a scene of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.

Thorin and the others, like ants, hid in the cracks of the rocks, shivering as they dodged the various boulders that fell on them.

In this situation, fortunately they have the luck of being the protagonist, and no one has been killed so far.

Seeing this situation, Gandalf could no longer sit still.

The rock giant was asleep most of the time, and even if someone passed by, they would just treat it as a mountain, but now they were unlucky enough to encounter it.

"Duyle, hurry up, we have to get there before they get crushed to death!"

Dewi did not delay, cast a spell on Gandalf and his own legs, and quickly rushed towards the high pass in a light and floating posture.

With Gandalf's Ring of Fire to dispel their fatigue, the two of them moved quickly throughout the journey with almost no pause to rest.

Finally, after running for several hours, the two finally arrived at the high pass.

Seeing the rock giant up close, the impact and shock are even more obvious. The rock giant is more than a thousand feet tall, taller and bigger than the tower on the top of Fengyun Peak, and the upper half of its body is directly submerged in the clouds.

It is these rock giants that stir up the clouds and cause thunderstorms.

Fortunately, these rock giants like to stay in the mountains and prefer to sleep for hundreds or thousands of years. They are neutral and do not participate in the disputes in Middle-earth.

Otherwise it would be a disaster for everyone.

"Armor protection!"

Countless huge pieces of rubble fell towards Dui and Gandalf, but were blocked by the magic barrier.

Facing the rubble all over the sky, Due and Gandalf walked forward with difficulty.

Seeing the rock giants still throwing stones happily, Gandalf said angrily: "These naughty guys don't care whether there are lives under their feet or not. They always play by themselves."

As he spoke, he raised his staff and struck it hard, a burst of dazzling light erupted, and his voice was like thunder: "Quiet down, you naughty troublemakers! Stop playing games!"

The rock giants were attracted by the dazzling light, stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads curiously, and looked at Gandalf.

"No more stone-throwing games! Look what a mess you've made of this place!" Gandalf scolded harshly, looking like a headmaster.

Dewi looked up at the rock giant in the sky, then looked at Gandalf who was standing in front of him with such imposing manner.

Dui was intimidated by Gandalf's gesture, but looking at the motionless rock giant above him, he felt something was wrong and asked in a low voice: "Uh, Gandalf, are you sure this will really work?"

"I don't know, I'm just trying." Gandalf stood tall and straight, his expression unchanged, and spoke in a low voice.

What? Dui stared at him in disbelief, his eyes wide open.

The next second, the rock giant above moved.

He picked up the huge rock in his hand and threw it at Dui and the others.
