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

Chapter 91 Sign-in Flying Broom

Meanwhile, Dui and Legolas were on good terms.

Unlike Thranduil's arrogance and aloofness, Legolas is gentle and kind, except for his prejudice against dwarves, he gives people a pleasant feeling.

Legolas is not yet five hundred years old, which is very young for an elf. He has always lived in Mirkwood and rarely goes outside of it.

Legolas showed admiration for Dui, the wizard who killed Azog, and was very interested in the previous experiences of Dui and others.

Just as the two were talking, the system suddenly reacted: [Hogwarts Check-in System: Location: Woodland Kingdom, check-in required?]

A flicker of emotion crossed Dui's eyes, but he silently recited in his mind, "Sign in," without changing his expression.

[Sign-in successful! Congratulations on obtaining the Flying Broomstick Crafting skill!]

Then a flood of knowledge about how to make a flying broomstick rushed into his mind.

Dui felt a surge of joy.

This time, they actually acquired the technology of flying brooms!

With the flying broom, he could fly anywhere he wanted, and checking in would be a breeze.

Moreover, it is safer, as as long as you are riding a flying broom in the sky, you have an inherent advantage over ground-based aircraft.

After all, in the Central Continent, apart from creatures like dragons and eagles that can fly, most other creatures cannot fly.

As Dui carefully studied the crafting techniques of the flying broom, he discovered that the creation of the flying broom and the creation of the magic wand were remarkably similar.

Both use trees with magical properties as raw materials, but one is used for flying and the other for casting spells.

Moreover, the production difficulty and complicated process of a flying broom are much more difficult than that of a magic wand. In addition to the steps of material selection, carving, grinding, polishing, and adjustment, it also involves a part of alchemy.

Therefore, even with the best-case scenario, it will take at least one or two weeks to make it successfully.

Nevertheless, Dui still looked forward to owning a flying broom.

The tree core that was previously used to make a wand still has a large section left, which can be used to make a flying broom.

So Dui decided to make a flying broom as soon as possible in the time before reaching Lonely Mountain.

Then we'll see who flies faster, the dragon or him.

However, this matter cannot be rushed, since we are currently at someone else's banquet.

So Du Yian suppressed his eagerness, collected his thoughts, and continued to participate in the banquet.

However, before the banquet was over, an elven guard quickly walked up to Thranduil.

"Your Majesty, the dwarves have escaped!" (Elf language)

Gandalf, who was standing nearby, also spoke Elvish, and upon hearing this news, his eyes lit up.

However, out of consideration for his master, he suppressed his smile and did not reveal it.

Thranduil placed his wine glass on the table, his brow furrowed, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you escape?"

"Someone stole the dungeon key, released the dwarves, and then floated away down the underground river in empty wine barrels through the trapdoor of the wine cellar."

Thranduil's face turned very ugly upon hearing this, and his suspicious eyes darted back and forth between Gandalf and Thranduil.

But in the end, he did nothing, just snorted and stood up.

"Once the banquet is over, make sure to bring those dwarves back. This time, I'm going to lock them up until they die!"

The elven guards accepted the order, and Legolas, as the leader, also joined them.

During the banquet, only Dui and Gandalf remained, ignored by everyone.

The two looked at each other.

For a moment, neither leaving nor staying was an option.

Gandalf, however, was thick-skinned and simply bid farewell to Thranduil.

"Since His Majesty Thranduil is busy, we will not disturb him any longer."

Thranduil glanced at the two men, seemingly considering whether to keep them, but ultimately let them leave.

"Go ahead!"

Upon seeing this, Gandalf and Duy immediately took their leave and left the palace.

The two arrived at the riverbank in the dense forest, looking at the rushing river and thinking about how to catch up with Thorin and the others.

"Gandalf, can you sail a boat?" Duy asked.

"A little," Gandalf nodded, then shook his head. "But I'm afraid the elves won't lend us the ship."

Dui didn't say anything, but went straight to a piece of dead wood by the river and waved his wand.

The deadwood quickly widened and lengthened, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a small wooden boat that could accommodate two people.

He then tapped the two branches with his wand, and the branches turned into two oars.

He took one for himself and handed the other to Gandalf.

Gandalf took the oar, exclaiming with delight, "I had forgotten you had this ability! Your magic is so convenient!"

With that, he and Dui pushed the small wooden boat into the water, then the two of them boarded the boat and drifted down the river.

The wood elves who observed this scene from afar were shocked, and then quickly reported the matter to Thranduil.

Thranduil didn't say anything about this, but simply raised the level of importance placed on Dui even further. Meanwhile, Dui and Gandalf...

The two traveled downstream in a boat, but the swift current caused the small boat to bob up and down, and it was in danger of capsizing at any moment.

Thanks to Gandalf's skill, the small boat was able to avoid boulders and whirlpools every time.

But after their boat had drifted some distance, they discovered that the elves on the riverbank were fighting a group of orcs, and orc corpses were falling into the river, staining it black.

What's going on? Dui's expression turned serious.

Didn't he already kill Azog? How come there are still orcs here?

Upon seeing an orc drawing his bow to aim at an elf fighting another orc, Dui raised his hand and unleashed a spell: "Shatter to pieces!"

The orc was instantly torn to pieces by the curse.

The elf fighting the orc was Legolas. After cleanly and efficiently dealing with the orc in front of him, he nodded to Dui and then continued to hunt down the other orcs.

Filled with doubt, Dui continued his work, going down the river and taking down the orcs on both banks one by one.

"Duir, watch your back!" Gandalf warned sharply.

Dui's heart tightened, and he reacted instantly.

With a wave of his wand, he created a wave that transformed into an ice wall behind him. The next second, an arrow exuding the aura of dark magic struck the ice wall, penetrating halfway into it.

Dui's pupils contracted; this was Mogul's Arrow!

He quickly turned around and locked onto the attacker.

He discovered that the person who attacked him was an orc riding on the back of a dire wolf.

"Crush to pieces!" Dui retorted without hesitation.

However, someone else reacted even faster. Before he could even finish his incantation, another arrow pierced Oak's head, sending him tumbling headfirst off the dire wolf's back into the river.

The dire wolf was also struck by Dui's spell and instantly torn to pieces.

Legolas was the one who shot the Ork. After completing his mission, he nodded to Dui and then went on to deal with the other Orks.

Further downstream, Thorin and his companions also encountered trouble.

They hid inside barrels and drifted with the current.

Meanwhile, on the shore, many orks were still chasing and shooting arrows.
