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

The troll didn't react immediately. Only when it realized its weapon was gone did it warily call out to its surroundings, "Who? Who's there?"

However, Dui was still using the Disillusionment Charm to remain invisible, so no matter how the trolls searched, they couldn't find him.

"Petrify them all!" A beam of white light suddenly struck the troll.

The troll's body froze for a moment, but it immediately broke free from the petrification spell and became even more vigilant.

"Who's there? Damn bug, I smell you! Come out!"

"Wow, is its magic resistance that strong?" Dui was somewhat surprised. He had easily dealt with five ogres using the shrinking potion, which made him feel that ogres were nothing special.

Unexpectedly, things have turned out quite differently for him.

Dui then cast several more spells, but they only lasted for a few seconds.

Seeing that the spell was ineffective, Dui quietly approached and used his magic to control the dagger at his waist to shoot at the troll.

The dagger was sharp and managed to cut through the ogre's thick scales, but in addition to the scales, the ogre also had muscles and bones as hard as stone, which caused the dagger to sink into the flesh and become impossible to pull out.

"Ouch, that hurts! You damned, despicable worm, I'm going to eat you!" The wounded ogre roared angrily, grabbing the surrounding boulders and throwing them around, trying to force the invisible Dui out.

The ogre's tactic was quite effective; the flying boulders struck the invisible barrier formed by the Ironclad Curse, instantly revealing Dui's whereabouts to the ogre.

The troll grinned menacingly, its eyes wide as it swung its fist toward Dui, as if it could see him smashed into a pulp in the next second.

The troll possessed immense strength; its full-force attack shattered the defensive barrier formed by the Ironclad Curse.

To the ogre's astonishment, there was no one behind the Ironclad Curse, causing its fist to miss its target entirely.

Before the troll could react, two daggers shot towards it with lightning speed, piercing its two most vulnerable eyes. Black blood splattered out instantly, and a deafening scream of pain echoed throughout the cave.

Without its eyes, the ogre was like a headless fly, bumping around aimlessly. Dui used a leg-locking spell to make it trip over its own feet and fall heavily to the ground.

"Yugadimm Leviosa!" Dui repeated Ron Weasley's act of stunning the troll, floating the ogre's thick wooden club and slamming it heavily onto the back of the ogre's head.

Once wasn't enough, so they did it twice. Under the constant blows, the troll could no longer stand up and passed out.

Obviously, physical attacks are the most effective way to deal with monsters like trolls that have high magic resistance.

Just as Dui finished dealing with the ogres, Gandalf was not far behind.

Gandalf used his flaming sword to sever the ogre's two Achilles tendons. After the ogre collapsed to the ground, Gandalf jumped onto its chest and plunged his flaming sword deep into its heart, burning it to ashes.

Having defeated the trolls on his side, Gandalf tossed the flaming sword over: "Duir, catch!"

Dui reacted quickly, catching the flaming sword, leaping onto the unconscious ogre, gripping the sword tightly with both hands, and forcefully plunging it into the heart, unleashing a burst of flames.

The unconscious troll struggled instinctively for a moment before dying.

After dealing with the two trolls, Dui and Gandalf conducted a brief inspection of the cave and found that apart from a pile of bones, there was nothing of value inside.

It can only be said that there are differences even among ogres.

Dui silently cursed the poor man in his heart before continuing with Gandalf toward the next ogre cave.

However, before leaving, Gandalf used magic to collapse the ogre cave, burying a pile of bones and ogres inside.

The two then found two more troll caves.

The first cave contained only one troll, which was even poorer than the previous two trolls, lacking even an iron pot for cooking.

Gandalf and Duy easily dealt with it together and immediately headed to the next location.

But the next cave was the one where Duy and Gandalf had seen the most ogres, with a full twelve living inside!

This group of cannibals had a clear division of labor and even a distinct hierarchy, with a cannibal leader.

The ogre leader was much taller than the other ogres, standing seven or eight meters tall. He sat on a tall stone platform, holding a ten-meter-long iron hammer, and wearing a tattered, rusty suit of armor. He was served by the other ogres.

On the cave walls, there were also dug-out cells, enclosed by wooden bars, which imprisoned hundreds of humans.

The people in the prison were emaciated, their eyes numb and lifeless, like a group of living dead.

When an ogre poured a bucket of sticky, gooey substance—of unknown origin—into a wooden trough in front of him, the group of people scrambled for the food like mindless livestock.

The troll leaders here are clearly smarter. They capture humans from outside the forest, but instead of eating them immediately, they lock them up and raise them like pigs, then slaughter them regularly.

In order to obtain a continuous supply of food, they even locked human men and women together and forced them to give birth to new human babies.

Seeing this, Gandalf and Duy's expressions became very serious.

This was the first time they had ever seen such an intelligent ogre. If given a chance, it might one day unify the entire ogre forest and become the king of ogres.

This time, both Dui and Gandalf were very cautious and did not choose to launch a direct attack.

After some discussion, Dui decided to use the same trick again and use a magic potion to deal with them.

However, since he had run out of shrinking potions, Dui chose a hypnotic potion he had previously made.

But when Dui finally managed to sneak up to the cauldron and pour in a whole bottle of hypnotic potion, the troll leader ate the entire pot of food laced with the drug, leaving not a single drop for the other trolls.

"Damn it," Du Yi cursed inwardly.

Not afraid of retribution for eating alone!

Hasn't this come true?

The ogre leader, having consumed a whole pot of food laced with the drug, quickly took effect and fell into a deep sleep in his seat, snoring loudly.

The other ogres who saw this were not surprised. Instead, they set up a large pot and poured a bunch of green worms into it to cook with other seasonings.

This is their food.

As for the humans imprisoned, they all belonged to the ogre leader. No matter how much the ogres coveted them, they dared not touch them. After all, the ogre leader was not only the strongest and most intelligent among them, but also the most brutal.

Those who attempted to challenge the authority of the troll leader have long since perished under the giant hammer, their bodies even devoured.

As the eleven ogres scrambled for the pot of worm-based goo, Gandalf whispered in Duy's ear, "Do you still have any of that potion?"

Dui shook his head with a wry smile.

He had originally concocted five kinds of magical potions: scabies potion, shrinking potion, amnesia potion, soothing potion, and hypnotic potion. He had already used up the shrinking and hypnotic potions, and the remaining magical potions were not very useful at this moment.

Could it be that we're using scabies medicine to cure the troll's scabies? Or using an amnesia potion to erase its memories? Or using a soothing potion to treat the troll's illness?

Oh, right, he almost forgot about the magic potion!

Dui quickly pulled a bottle of green potion from his pocket.
