There has been no in-depth research on the structure of the Phoenix itself.
The only thing that Dui gained was that the book gave a somewhat reliable guess about the origin of the phoenix: the phoenix was born in flames and was a spirit conceived by flames.
This sentence was not Newt Scamander's guess, but came from Dumbledore.
Although it was just a sentence, it gave Dui a sense of direction.
Dumbledore was one of the few great wizards who had a phoenix as a pet, and his family had a mysterious connection with the phoenix, so his words were naturally not aimless.
So Dui plans to explore the mysteries of fire and phoenix in his next research, and then apply them to the firebird.
If he could create a phoenix in Middle-earth, there would be hope for his Animagus evolution.
As for his understanding of fire, he could think of no one else except Gandalf, who possessed the Ring of Fire.
When in trouble, look for teammates. Since he has joined the White Council, Due naturally seeks help from Gandalf.
And he thought Gandalf would also be interested in creating a phoenix.
So after staying in the laboratory for nearly half a year, Dui finally left the tower again.
As soon as he came out, the first thing he did was to meet the village chief Luke.
But now he should be called Mayor Luke.
After more than a year or nearly two years of development, the village of Hogsmeade at the foot of the mountain has grown into a town with a population of nearly 10,000.
And every day more people come to Hogsmeade, hoping to join Hogsmeade and become residents here.
As the mayor, Luke would go up the mountain regularly to report the situation down the mountain to Dui.
Although Dui was conducting magic experiments most of the time and had no time to meet him.
But Luke insisted on going up the mountain regularly, and recorded all recent affairs, including taxes and residents received, in a book and sent it to the castle for Duy to review.
"Luke, what brings you here this time?" Dui met him and asked in the reception room.
Luke's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He couldn't wait to say, "My lord, I have some great news! Do you remember Mayor Lucky from Bree? He came to Hogsmeade to see me not long ago!"
"He originally wanted to come and see you, but you were busy at the time, so he didn't come to disturb you."
"Oh? What's the matter with him coming to see me?" Dui asked curiously.
He remembered the mayor of Bree, Lucky, who was a man full of desire for power, status and money.
However, there are countless such people in Middle-earth, so no one pays much attention to them.
Luke couldn't help but say happily, "Sir, Ratchet said that Bree is willing to pledge allegiance to you and become one of your towns, accepting your rule!"
Dui was very surprised when he heard this.
Bree Town wants to join me? Are you kidding?
"Did the mayor say that? Did he agree to it? Can he represent the opinions of the entire town?" Dui asked doubtfully.
As far as he knew, the mayor was very eager for power. As the mayor of Bree, he had the final say and power in Bree. Would he be willing to have someone above him?
"Of course he doesn't want to!" Luke said with a playful smile on his face, his tone full of gloating, "But if he doesn't do this, then he can forget about becoming mayor."
Dui looked at his expression and raised an eyebrow: "What did you do?"
Luke wasn't surprised that Dewi could guess that. He chuckled and said, "I simply persuaded the residents of Bree to move to Hogsmeade. After all, not only are taxes low here, but we also have large tracts of fertile land to distribute. Not to mention, with you here, my lord, no one would dare to infringe upon your territory."
"So how many residents of Bree have come to Hogsmeade?" Dui didn't expect Luke to cut off the source of the problem, and he became even more curious.
"Only half of them came," Luke said regretfully. "There could have been more, but that old fellow, Lucky, reacted quickly and closed the city gates. He used a bunch of sweet talk to persuade the remaining residents to stay."
Dui's mouth twitched. Half of the residents had been poached, and he still looked regretful.
He could already imagine how furious and furious the mayor of Bree would be when he found out.
After all, if there are no people left, how can someone be the mayor?
Be a commander without troops?
"Since there are still half of the residents, why do you still want to rely on me?" Dui asked again.
Luke's face was filled with a hint of pride and cunning.
"I asked the residents of Bree who moved to Hogsmeade to actively write letters to their relatives and neighbors in Bree, telling them about your power, justice, and kindness, the grandeur and beauty of your castle, the happiness and peace of Hogsmeade, and how lucky and honored it is to be your people...
Then Lucky will no longer be able to suppress the people of Bree, after all, who can refuse to become your people?"
"So the residents of Bree have strongly requested that Bree accept your rule and become your subjects, so that they can enjoy the same treatment as the residents of Hogsmeade."
"And if old Lachi doesn't want to lose his position as mayor, he has to actively request to accept your rule."
Dui looked at Luke with admiration.
I didn't expect that you, Luke, are such a scheming person.
If Bree's mayor, Lucky, knew about this, he would probably hate Luke to death.
Dewy originally had no intention of annexing Bree Town, but now that the other party offered it to him, he naturally would not refuse.
So with Dewi nodding in agreement, Mayor Rudge of Bree and the town representatives soon came to Weathertop Castle again with land inventories, tax books, etc.
In the hall, in the presence of everyone, the mayor and representatives presented land inventories, tax books, resident registration books, etc., formally swearing allegiance to Dui.
Bree thus became the second town under the rule of Dewy.
As for the mayor, Dui still let Lachi take the position.
There is a real shortage of management talent. Although Mayor Lachie is greedy for power, he can at least manage Bree Town well.
Anyway, with him suppressing him and Luke, who is a tough guy, supervising him, there is no need to worry about Laci having any other thoughts.
When Lach heard that Dewy asked him to continue to serve as the mayor of Bree, he was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his loyalty to Dewy.
At the same time, he really had no other thoughts and just wanted to try his best to please Dui and let him continue to serve as mayor.
And work hard to replace Luke's position and become the first person under the lord.
Don't think he doesn't know that the problems in Bree Town these days are all caused by his old rival Luke.
Although they are now colleagues, he vowed to crush his old rival Luke and never think of being superior to him.
Although Hogsmeade is close to the Lord, don't forget that Bree is the intersection of the East-West Avenue and the North-South Avenue, and the transportation conditions are excellent.
Lucky vowed to develop Bree Town better than Hogsmeade and let the lord see his talent!
Dewi, who was above, saw the eye-to-eye quarrel between Mayor Bree and the Mayor of Hogsmeade below, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
As long as it is not a conspiracy and is just normal competition between them, Dui will not interfere.
Chapter 156 Fangorn Forest
After dealing with the allegiance issue in Bree, Dewy prepared to go out.
Besides wanting to find Gandalf to see if he could use his wisdom and understanding of fire to evolve his Animagus into a phoenix.
I also plan to sign in at various places to see if I can get any unexpected gains?
It would be even better if I could get some magical knowledge about the phoenix by chance.
Especially Dumbledore's knowledge and memories, Dui was very eager.
As the owner of the phoenix Fawkes, he believed that Dumbledore must have a deep understanding and research on the phoenix.
It’s a pity that what he gets every time he signs in is not determined by his subjective will.
After arranging things in the castle, Dui took out the Palantir and checked Gandalf's location.
As Gandalf's figure appeared on the crystal ball, Dui showed a look of surprise.
It turned out that Gandalf was talking to a tall tree man with a lot of beard.
"This is in Fangorn Forest?" Dui asked in surprise.
He recognized that the one communicating with Gandalf was an Ent, a tree-man of the Ent race. He was more human-like than the Huorn tree-man. He could not only move but also speak human language.
Gandalf in the picture suddenly seemed to respond.
"Who is it?" Gandalf shouted into the void with a vigilant look.
But then, as if sensing something, the alert and sharp look in his eyes faded, revealing a puzzled expression.
"Duyle, is that you?"
Dewi couldn't respond from a distance. After confirming Gandalf's location, he immediately went through the fireplace to Lórien, which was closest to Fangorn Forest.
"Duir, why are you here?" Arwen asked in surprise.
Dewi was also somewhat surprised to see Arwen in Lórien.
He had thought Arwen would be in Rivendell.
"I need Gandalf's help. He is in Fangorn Forest, so I came to Lórien for transit first." Dewi explained.
However, seeing Arwen's somewhat disappointed expression, he invited her, "Are you interested in going on a trip to Fangorn Forest with me?"
Arwen's eyes sparkled with stars, and she smiled brightly: "Okay!"
If you want to take someone out to play, you naturally need to obtain the consent of their parents.
Lady Galadriel nodded gently and agreed.
As for Celeborn, he neither objected nor agreed, his expression was calm and his attitude towards Dui remained the same.
But for some reason, Dui always felt a chill down his spine.
Under the watchful eyes of the lord and his wife, Dewi handed the broom to Arwen, and he turned into an owl to fly with her.
The two flew out of the Forest of Lórien and headed south.
Fangorn Forest lies not far south of Lórien.
After flying for a while, they arrived at the edge of Fangorn Forest.
Dewi landed and turned back into human form, and Arwen also landed on her broom.
They did not rush in directly, as the tree people in Fangorn Forest were very xenophobic.
Because humans and dwarves have destroyed the forest in the past, the tree people hate humans and dwarves entering their homes.
Most who enter Fangorn Forest die, as the Ents kill those who threaten the forest.
