Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth...

After burying the remains of the corpse demon, everyone returned to the yurt to continue sleeping.

"Hmm, what's wrong? What happened?" The obese Bombard groggily crawled out of his sleeping bag and looked at the group of people who came in with a puzzled expression.

Everyone fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.

The situation was urgent just now, and everyone thought everyone had gotten up, but they didn't realize that one person was missing.

Gandalf and Duy watched this scene with smiles on their faces.

Thorin looked at his simple-minded companion, took a deep breath, and said irritably, "It's nothing, go to sleep."

"Huh? Oh!" Then Bomber really did shrink back into his sleeping bag, and soon started snoring loudly.

Everyone fell silent again, but with mixed feelings, they all crawled into their sleeping bags.

It was already very late, and they had to set off early the next day.

The next morning, everyone gradually woke up from their sleep.

As Dui waved his hand and transformed the huge yurt back into a wagon, and the carpet and sleeping bags disappeared, everyone felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Before setting off, there was one more thing for everyone to do.

That is, sharing the spoils.

Last night, hundreds of corpse demons left behind a large bag of jewelry and accessories, not to mention dozens of relatively intact ancient swords.

Gandalf proposed that the spoils be divided equally among all the people.

Thorin refused outright, arguing that the dwarves hadn't contributed to the battle the previous night, and that Gandalf and Duy had dealt with all the wights, so there was no reason for them to share the spoils.

The other dwarves agreed with Thorin; although they loved jewels dearly, their pride wouldn't allow them to accept charity.

Faced with the stubborn dwarves, Gandalf did not press the matter further. However, he himself did not have much need for treasure, so he only chose the best-preserved ancient sword as his weapon and left the rest of the spoils to Dui.

Looking at his spoils, Dui suddenly suggested to the others, "Yesterday, I severely injured the Witch King of Angmar, and his minions, the Corpse Demons, have also lost their power. Why don't we take this opportunity to storm the dragon's lair and seize the Corpse Demon treasure within the ancient tomb?"

The dwarves' eyes lit up at the suggestion, and even Thorin, who was only eager to reach Lonely Mountain, did not object.

Their refusal to share Dui and Gandalf's spoils does not mean they were not eager for the treasure.

Especially now that the dwarves are not wealthy, Thorin Oakenshield, in order to support the Durin people, once made a living by blacksmithing and trading resources with nearby humans. He even had to offer the treasure of Lonely Mountain as payment to get Dui and others to join the expedition.

Although Gandalf had no interest in the wight treasure, he supported Duy's proposal.

So the group did not continue forward, but turned around and headed deeper into the ancient mound.

The sky above Kozuka-oka is always so gloomy, and the mountains are shrouded in mist year-round, creating a desolate and silent landscape.

However, compared to his last visit to Kozuka-oka, Dui noticed that the mist in the mountains had dissipated considerably, and the clouds in the sky had thinned out.

The group proceeded smoothly without encountering any obstacles and arrived at the ancient tomb complex.

Perhaps because the Witch King of Angmar was severely injured and the undead lost the support of the Witch King's power, there was no trace of undead activity on the ancient burial mound, and it became very quiet.

Gandalf tapped the ground with his staff, constantly using magic to detect the danger. After sensing something, he reminded everyone, "The wights are asleep and won't wake up anytime soon, but we still need to be careful not to disturb them."

Upon receiving the information from Gandalf, the dwarves were immediately excited. Without the threat of the wights, the jewels buried in the ancient tomb would all be theirs!

So the dwarves began their tomb raiding work.

Dwarves are naturally skilled at digging mine tunnels, so digging a tunnel to a tomb is no problem for them at all.

The ancient burial mounds were mostly for the kings and nobles of the Dunedan people, and the burial goods were naturally priceless treasures. However, the dwarves looted all the burial goods from the tombs.

As for the ghouls sleeping in the tombs, they were usually dealt with by Duy and Gandalf whenever they encountered them, preventing them from ever reviving.

The dwarves stayed at the ancient tomb site for three days, visiting hundreds of tombs. In the end, they reluctantly gave up their tomb raiding work because they were running out of food.

The final harvest satisfied everyone. Except for Gandalf, who gave up his share, everyone else's pockets were stuffed full of gold and silver jewels, even Bilbo.

The dwarves were all overjoyed, and even Thorin, the most serious of them all, had a much gentler expression on his face.

The group left Kozuka Hill with a wealth of spoils.

Before leaving, Gandalf gave Ancient Hill a purification gift, purifying and suppressing the evil power that the Witch-King of Angmar had placed on Ancient Hill to a minimum.

In any case, the corpse demon sleeping in the ancient mound has no chance of reviving in the short term.

As for why they didn't simply banish the evil power of the Witch-King of Angmar, in Gandalf's words, unless the Witch-King of Angmar could be destroyed, the power he had placed on Ancient Hill would never disappear.

Back on the main road,

The group continued their journey and finally arrived in Buri Town around noon.

Brie is a small town inhabited by humans, located in the middle of the Eliadorian wasteland. The main east-west road and the north-south road intersect here, making it a convenient place for travelers, merchants, and wanderers to stop.

Even occasionally, elves would pass through here, traveling along the east-west road to Linton Grey Harbor in the west, and then taking a boat across the sea to the west.

The group stopped briefly at the Leap Horse Inn in Buri Town to replenish their supplies.

The dwarves, now wealthy, were eager to indulge themselves. They waved their hands and declared, "Boss, bring up all the wine! We're going to drink our fill today!"

Besides their love of money, dwarves also love drinking, especially strong, spicy liquor.

Upon hearing the dwarves' words, the innkeeper became extremely enthusiastic. The dwarves not only loved to drink, but they also had a large capacity for alcohol, measuring their drinking volume in buckets rather than cups.

So no innkeeper would refuse such guests, and immediately ordered the hobbit servants in the inn to bring out barrels of fine wine from the cellar and place them in front of the dwarves so they could drink to their hearts' content.

At the same time, Dui's check-in system also responded.

[Hogwarts Check-in System: Location: Breeze - Prancing Horse Inn. Check-in now?]

Dui remained expressionless, silently thinking, "Sign in."

[Sign-in successful! Congratulations on receiving the Fiora powder making method and the Fiora website app!]

A wave of memories flooded his mind, and Dui's eyes widened instantly.

Filu powder? This is what I got for checking in this time.
