Could it be that he had already seen the result of today at that time?
Dui was shocked and couldn't help but look at Galadriel.
Just happened to meet the other person's smiling eyes that knew everything.
Well, he was right.
Dewi was shocked by Galadriel's precognitive ability.
Compared with the other party's abilities, the prophecy talent he gained by signing in was nothing but trash and there was no comparison at all.
Galadriel did not object, and even though Celeborn was reluctant and felt that the cabbages he had carefully grown at home were being eaten by pigs, he had no choice but to respect Arwen's opinion.
After all, elves are extremely loyal to their feelings and will never change once they make up their minds.
But he was still unhappy with Dui.
In order for the two to go to Rivendell, they first need to obtain the consent of their father Elrond.
So with uneasy hearts, Dui and Arwen passed through the fireplace and came to the valley again.
Elrond was somewhat surprised and delighted by the arrival of his daughter and Due.
But soon, he discovered the secret connection between the two.
His brows suddenly furrowed, and his joy instantly disappeared.
"Arwen, have you really made up your mind?" Elrond asked with a heavy expression.
Arwen nodded, her eyes firm and resolute: "Yes, father, I will never change!"
"But don't worry, father. I will not choose the fate of a mortal. Duil also refuses me to do so. He wants to be with me forever, not just live out this short life."
Arwen changed the subject and said with a gentle and happy look in her eyes.
And he told Elrond everything that Dewi had said.
After hearing this, Elrond looked at Dui with some doubt, his eyes very penetrating.
"Duir, I'm not being unreasonable, but achieving immortality is not easy. The only special exception from ancient times to the present is my human grandfather Tuor, who received guidance from the Valar and sailed west to Valinor. He received the grace of the Father of All Living Things and was recognized as an elf, thus achieving eternal life."
"Others who pursued immortality, without exception, went astray. For example, the people of Numenor were once destroyed by their own greed and corruption. The Nine Ringwraiths were once powerful kings among humans, but they were bewitched and corrupted by Sauron's power in pursuit of immortality, becoming his minions."
In response to Elrond's concerns and doubts, Dewi expressed his vision of the Phoenix.
Elrond was also surprised to hear about the phoenix.
He didn't expect that Dui could design such a perfect and gorgeous species, and he only needed the last key step to succeed.
Suddenly, his frown relaxed slightly.
Since this phoenix can get Gandalf's recognition and participate in it.
Elrond felt much more relieved.
But Dui was afraid that Elrond was still worried, so he took out another piece of parchment and handed it to him.
Looking at the mysterious patterns and runes drawn on the parchment, Elrond was attracted by the contents.
"What is this?" Elrond asked curiously.
"This is how to make the Philosopher's Stone," Dui explained. "The Philosopher's Stone is also called the Sorcerer's Stone. It's a magical substance that can turn stone into gold and create the Elixir of Life."
"The Philosopher's Stone? Can it create the elixir of immortality?" Elrond was very surprised when he heard this.
As an immortal elf, Elrond naturally did not need the elixir of life, but he was surprised by the meaning of the Philosopher's Stone.
The fate of mankind is set by Ilúvatar, and its essence is death. This is the "gift" given by Ilúvatar to mankind, so even the Valar do not have the power to change this fate of mankind.
The only special one is the human Tuor, who is the grandfather of Elrond and the father of the half-elf Earendil.
He gained eternal life, but it was not due to the power of the Valar, but a special grace given by Ilúvatar himself. He was listed among the elves and became a "unique exception."
If the Philosopher's Stone that Dewi mentioned could really make people immortal, it would definitely be a miracle that was no less than the Silmaril created by Fëanor.
By then, it will not only be a treasure coveted by all non-immortal races, but even the Vera will probably cast their eyes on it.
In response to Elrond's surprise, Dewi shook his head and explained.
"The Philosopher's Stone does have a flaw. Although it grants immortality, it cannot prevent the body from aging. Therefore, the longer one lives, the weaker the body becomes."
This is why he still tried to evolve the Animagus into a Phoenix.
After all, the shortcomings of the Philosopher's Stone are obvious. Someone like Nicolas Flamel, who has lived for more than 600 years, has already aged like a dead person. If he lives any longer, he might not even be able to move.
Under such circumstances, who would want to continue living like a living dead? Perhaps this is also the reason why Nicolas Flamel finally gave up the Philosopher's Stone.
So this time, Dui showed Elrond the production diagram of the Philosopher's Stone. On the one hand, it was to give Elrond a guarantee, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the wisdom of Elrond and others to see if he could improve the Philosopher's Stone and make up for its shortcomings.
As the most famous elf sage in Middle-earth, Elrond's wisdom and knowledge even amazed Gandalf.
Dui himself does not have the confidence to perfect the Philosopher's Stone, but he can ask for external help and seek help from Elrond, his future "father-in-law".
And he doesn't have to worry about the secret being leaked. After all, the most important function of the Philosopher's Stone, which is to make elves immortal, has no appeal to the elves at all, and the only function of turning stones into gold is not worth mentioning.
Hearing Dewi's words, Elrond nodded.
"It is a drawback, but even so, the Philosopher's Stone is a great invention worthy of being recorded in history."
He looked at the young wizard in front of him in amazement.
"When the Philosopher's Stone is born, your name will be synonymous with the Philosopher's Stone, just like Fëanor is to the Silmaril!"
With the double guarantee of the Phoenix and the Philosopher's Stone, Elrond's disapproval of the affairs of Due and Arwen was somewhat less.
But he still made three rules with Dewi: until he gained immortality, he and Arwen could not truly be together.
Dui agreed to this.
Even so, Elrond did not prevent Dewi and Arwen from meeting.
He just believed that out of sight, out of mind, and studied in the Hall of Flames with the runic dictionary given to him by Dui, so as to understand the secret of making the Philosopher's Stone on the parchment.
And Dewi was unable to keep his appointment with Arwen, and was directly dragged away by his two "brothers-in-law" Elrohir and Elladan to practice martial arts.
In their words, he is now almost two meters tall and needs to train hard to become stronger.
Otherwise, without their wands and staffs, they would be like ordinary people. How could they protect their sister?
Then came the days of hardship for Dewy.
In the morning he practiced swordplay with Elrohir, and in the afternoon he sparred with Elladan using the spear.
It was said to be practice and competition, but in fact Dui was abused the whole time.
Every day I returned to Hogwarts Castle covered in bruises, exhausted, and with my teeth bared in my mouth. I had to smear myself with distilled essence before I dared to lie down.
Then the next day they returned to the valley and continued to be visited by the two brothers.
Elrohir and Elladan found that Dui looked full of energy again after applying the white savory essence.
He immediately let go and attacked even more fiercely.
However, the two brothers were skilled in martial arts, and the weapons in their hands never hurt Dui.
Dui can only passively use the Flaming Sword and the Divine Spear Aiglos to resist.
These two weapons, which had been gathering dust in Dui's space bag, have been used more frequently than ever before.
One day, Dui took off his outer robe exhaustedly, and with a grimace, he smeared the white fresh essence on his purple skin.
When he was trying to apply some on his back, a jade hand gently applied the white fresh essence on his back instead of him.
Arwen looked at him distressedly and complained softly:
"You, if you just admit defeat to my brothers and the others, they'll stop bullying you. Why are you still so stubborn and have to compete with them every day?"
Dui took a deep breath, but shook his head firmly:
"No! If I admit defeat, they won't let me see you again! And how can a man admit defeat!"
Ever since they learned that Dewi had kidnapped their beloved sister, the two brothers' attitudes changed 180 degrees. Every day they found ways to destroy Dewi and Arwen's time alone, and then dragged Dewi into constant competition, under the pretext of protecting Arwen in the future.
If Dewi dared to refuse, he would definitely say in a sarcastic tone that he was unwilling to suffer for Arwen.
People are fighting for their dignity, so Dui naturally doesn't want to admit defeat.
More importantly, with Elrohir and Elladan, two martial arts masters who have lived for thousands of years, practicing with him, Dui's sword and spear skills are improving rapidly.
Even the residual medicinal power of the Ent drink he had drunk in Fangorn Forest was being rapidly absorbed and strengthened by his body.
His body became stronger and more agile, and he was able to fight back against the two men.
Chapter 161 Expedition to Moria
Through training with Elrohir and Elladan, Dui's martial arts skills improved rapidly.
If he was a fragile wizard before, now even without using magic, he can rely on the flaming sword or the divine spear Aegros in his hand to fight against the orcs head-on.
During this time, he drank another Ent drink.
The Ent drink made his height increase a little bit, barely breaking through two meters.
This makes him one of the tallest even among the elves.
In addition to his height, the bigger gain is that his body has become stronger.
Before the effect of the Ent drink wore off, he was full of energy every day. Even when he was trained by Elrohir and Elladan, he was still full of energy and became stronger and stronger.
To this end, he specially made several more pots of growth potion, and then asked the giant eagle Thorondor to take the potion to Fangorn Forest to trade Ent drink with Treebeard.
Sorondo is no longer a fledgling. Under Arwen's careful care and feeding with the magical dry food Lembas, his body has grown rapidly and his wings have become strong enough to support him to fly in circles near the top of the world.
After that, Dui fed him Ent drink, and his size doubled, becoming larger than an adult giant eagle.
So Thorondo officially became Dui's messenger, flew thousands of miles with the potion, came to Fangorn Forest and successfully traded it for Ent Drink.
Treebeard was very fond of the giant eagle Thorondor and specially treated him to Ent drink.
So when Thorondo returned to the top of the world with the Ent drink, what Dui saw was a giant eagle that was twice as big.
Dui could only sigh at the good luck of this guy Sorondo.
Although Thorondo is not yet an adult, he is already larger than the largest eagle king in the Misty Mountains, with a wingspan of nearly 30 meters.
When its wings flapped, it swept away all the clouds and wind, like the legendary Roc covering the sky and the sun.
