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

Dui did not stay in Frogze Village for long, only resting for one night at the Floating Wood Inn.

The next day, they took a boat from the dock to the other side of the river to Buckland.

At the same time, they didn't forget to bring the carriage and horses along.

Stagland, located between the Brandy River and the Old Woods, forms the eastern border of the Shire.

The inhabitants of Stagland are mostly members of the Brandy Deer family, who are more robust and powerful than other hobbits.

Perhaps because they lived near the Old Forest and faced more dangers, they were more tenacious and vigilant than other hobbits.

Moreover, they are among the few Hobbits who wear shoes, and they have the most interaction with the outside world, especially the human town of Bree. As a result, their clothing and architectural styles inevitably bear some human characteristics.

Duy had heard Bilbo tell him that hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Hobbits of Stagland crossed the Brandy River from the East Shire and built Brandy Hall on Stag Mountain. As their family grew, Stagland gradually came into being.

Moreover, although the land of the stags is nominally part of the Shire, it is actually more like an independent small country, ruled by the Brandy Stag family and not subject to Shire control.

After disembarking, Dui continued driving the carriage towards Stag Town, the capital of Stag Country.

Along the way, you can see a tall fence that stretches as far as the eye can see at the boundary between Deerland and Old Forest, separating the two areas.

That tall fence is another story altogether.

It is said that the Hobbits originally established Stagland in the area between the east bank of the Brandy River and the Old Forest, and cut down some trees to build houses and built a high hedge between their homes and the Old Forest.

This action angered the old trees in the forest.

Because the trees in the old forest are different from the trees in other places; they are trees that can think and move.

The old forest trees once tried to climb over the high hedge and invade the stag's territory.

The hobbits retaliated by cutting down hundreds of trees and setting fire to the sprawling woodland, creating a large clearing between the tall hedges and the old forest.

This further deepened the old forest's hostility towards the hobbits, and the conflict between the two sides continued to escalate.

The trees in the old forest can attack passersby and cause people to get lost when they enter the forest;

The hobbits of Deerland were filled with fear and wariness of the trees in the Old Forest, so they never tried to climb over the high fences to enter the Old Forest.

Dui was very curious about the trees in the old forest.

Although he currently has no clue about wands, he knows that wand making consists of two parts: the wand shaft and the wand core.

The staff core needs to be made from parts of magical creatures such as phoenix tail feathers, dragon heart tendons, and unicorn hair.

The staff itself is made from trees with magical properties.

To determine whether a tree can be made into a wand, wand makers in the magical world usually only need to look for trees that are parasitized by Bowtruckles (magical creatures), and they can use the branches of these trees to make the wand shafts.

There are no magical creatures like Bowtruckles in Middle-earth, so if Dui wants to make his own wand in the future, he must first consider how to find wood suitable for making wands.

The trees in the old forest are different from ordinary trees; they can think and move, possessing extraordinary attributes.

Dui thought that the trees in this old forest might be used to make the wand shaft.

Dui liked to plan ahead, and he believed that the more places he checked in, the more likely he would eventually find out how to make a magic wand.

Therefore, he needed to collect the materials for making the wand in advance.

The carriage traveled down the road along the banks of the Brandy River, passing several hobbit villages, and finally arrived at Stagtown, the capital of Stagland.

Dui got off the carriage and looked up at the town of Stag ahead, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Stag Town is situated on Stag Mountain on the banks of the Brandy River, surrounded by a high and thick fence to the east; the entire mountain is a town in itself.

Most hobbit houses were built of wood.

Only at the very center and the highest point is the Smith House, a giant traditional Hobbit building hollowed out from a hill.

It is the landmark building of Bucktown—Brandy Hall, and also the residence of the Brandy Deer family.

Upon entering the town, Dui did not choose to go to the inn, but instead took out a piece of paper and examined it carefully.

"Hmm, let me see, No. 35 Ferry Road..."

After reading the note, Dui muttered to himself as he walked forward, glancing at the house numbers he passed from time to time.

Finally, his carriage stopped in front of a traditional Smio house.

"No. 35, Ferry Crossing Road, this is it!"

Dui got out of the car, pushed open the courtyard gate, and came to the round green wooden door, where he knocked.

"Coming!" a voice came from inside the room.

The door was opened.

A young hobbit with brown curly hair poked his head out and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you?"

Dui bent down to try and get eye level with the other person, and greeted them with a smile.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zogo Baggins? I am the wizard Duyle, and I apologize for the intrusion. I extend my greetings to you on behalf of Bilbo Baggins!"

Upon hearing Dujkovic's words, Zogo Baggins' face showed a look of sudden realization.

"I know you! Bilbo wrote to me not long ago saying you might come to Bucksland. Please come in!"

As she spoke, she stepped aside to warmly welcome him in.

The decor of Drago Baggins’s house was somewhat similar to that of Bilbo’s Bag End, and Dui bent over carefully to avoid bumping into the roof beams and chandeliers.

As soon as he sat down, Drago Baggins served him cookies and desserts.

During this time, Zogo asked Dui about Bilbo's recent situation.

Zogo and Bilbo are cousins. Although they live in different places, they are quite close and occasionally keep in touch by letter.

More importantly, Dui also knew about Zogo's other identity.

That is, he is the father of Frodo Baggins, the future holder of the One Ring.

However, Zogo was not yet married at this time, so the future protagonist Frodo was nowhere to be seen.

During the subsequent conversation, Zhuoguo learned that Duyi had already visited Dadong Town, Tak Town, Changgu Town, and Waze Village, and his eyes revealed envy and longing.

Hobbits don't like to go out, and even within the Shire, there is little interaction between villages and towns.

In order to hear Dui recount his experiences on the journey, Zhuoguo immediately invited Dui to stay at his place.

For the next few days, Dui stayed at the Zogo family's house, and through Zogo's introduction, he met the owner of the Buckland, the head of the Brandy Deer family.

And successfully checked in at the Brandy Hall.

[Hogwarts Check-in System: Location: Shire - Stag's Grounds - Brandyloison Hall. Check-in required?]

"Check-in!"

[Sign-in successful! Congratulations on receiving the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook, *Dark Forces: A Defense Guide*!]

"Dark Forces: A Defense Guide" primarily introduces various dark creatures from the magical world, such as werewolves and red hats. It also includes some defensive spells, such as knockback spells, petrification spells, disarming spells, barrier spells, spell-stopping spells, and armor spells.

Dui was overjoyed with such a achievement.

Although these spells are primarily defensive, they are all extremely useful. Mastering them could greatly enhance one's strength and defensive capabilities!
