Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

Galadriel slowly stood up and walked to the water mirror next to her. She gently stirred the water with her hand and said slowly, "That is a very ancient and mysterious creature. It is far older than the Orcs or even the Balrogs. It has existed since the birth of the world of Arda..."

As his fingers fiddled with the water, countless fragments of images flashed in the water mirror, as incomprehensible as illusions.

Suddenly, the mirror surface turned pitch black. The black was very sticky, deeper and thicker than the night sky. Even light and shadow did not exist. Just by looking through the mirror surface, an unsettling sense of darkness and fear emanated.

There seemed to be indescribable ancient whispers in the darkness, as if it was pregnant with some great terror!

Galadriel stared at the pitch-black water mirror, as if she was looking at the creatures in the darkness through the water mirror, but before the darkness could notice, she waved her hand to erase the image and restore it to the appearance of an ordinary water mirror.

"Was that an unknown creature deep underground?" Arwen asked in shock.

Galadriel nodded and said, “There are some beings in this world that were not created, such as the oldest Iavain-ben-Arda (Tom Bombadil), the evil god Ungoliant who was born from the darkness of the void outside the world of Arda, and the nameless creatures deep in the heart of the earth.

In ancient legends, in the deepest and darkest parts of the earth, something unspeakable will arise, gnawing at the very foundations of the earth until, at the end of the great movement, it will burst through the ground and devour everything.

Seeing Arwen's worried look, Galadriel smiled and reached out to stroke her face.

"Don't worry about it. The end of time is far, far away. Even if measured by the lifespan of an elf, it will be an extremely long time. By that time, the elves may no longer exist."

Apart from being surprised at first, Dui accepted it well.

Isn't this nameless creature similar to Nidhogg, the black dragon that gnawed at the roots of the world tree in Norse mythology, and Leviathan in Hebrew mythology?

They all represent the end of the world.

But he didn't expect that there would be such a setting in Middle-earth?

The topic of the end of the world was too heavy, so no one discussed it any further and instead shifted the focus to the Fire Demon.

Dui took out the heart of the fire demon - the red magic crystal.

Looking at the red magic crystal emitting high temperature on the table, everyone was very surprised.

Especially the black flames inside, which carry a violent, dark and evil aura full of destructive power.

People can feel the terrifying power contained in it.

As a fallen Maia, Balrog was once a lesser god associated with fire. He was bewitched by Morgoth and became a demon. The sacred fire he originally controlled also turned into evil fire.

But even though the flame was tainted by the dark power of Morgoth and its properties changed, its essence remained unchanged.

"Duir, are you planning to use the Balrog's eternal fire to forge the Phoenix's nirvana fire?" Galadriel asked.

Dui nodded.

As a fallen demigod-level Maia, the Fire Demon's natal fire is of divine level.

If this eternal fire can be transformed into the fire of Nirvana, then after his Animagus evolves into a phoenix, it will definitely be more powerful than the phoenix in the Harry Potter world.

"But if you use such an evil fire, you might fall into darkness and even become an evil spirit?" Celeborn said with a frown.

"So before we use it, we need to purify the Balrog's flames," Gandalf explained with a smile.

"The Balrog was once a Maia whose essence was fire. After being seduced and corrupted by Morgoth, its eternal fire was contaminated by Morgoth's dark power and turned into an evil fire.

As long as the evil fire is purified and restored to its purest state, the pure flame can be used to forge the immortal phoenix."

Gandalf continued, "Lady Galadriel, your power of purification is unmatched, so we would like to ask for your help in purifying the Balrog's fire."

Upon hearing this, Galadriel looked at the red magic crystal in front of her, then glanced at the anxiously expectant Due and the pleading Arwen.

She smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 172 Return to Moria

Since Galadriel agreed to help purify the Fire Demon's fire, she reached out and picked up the red magic crystal on the table that was emitting high temperature.

It seems like there is no warmth at all.

Then he walked towards the central fountain with the magic crystal, and Dui and others followed.

Coming to the fountain, Galadriel placed the magic crystal in the center of the fountain.

There once stood a crystal bottle, which was used to capture the light of the star of Earendil and thus collect the Light of Earendil.

Whenever night falls, when the star of Earendil passes across the sky, its starlight shines into the fountain and is reflected by the water in the fountain. Galadriel collects the starlight in a crystal bottle and makes the Star Vase.

Galadriel placed the magic crystal in the place of the crystal bottle, then slowly tilted the crystal bottle, and the flowing starlight liquid dripped onto the magic crystal.

When the two collide, there is a sizzling sound, just like water dripping on hot iron.

"The Light of Earendil is the final energy of the glory of the Two Trees. It has the ability to purify all darkness and evil, which is just right to purify the fire of the Balrog." Galadriel said slowly.

As she finished her words, wisps of evil energy emanated from the Balrog's magic crystal and were purified by the light of Earendil.

But at the same time, the liquid condensed by the Light of Eärendil was also offset and became less and less.

When Dui saw this scene, he immediately knew that he owed the great man another favor.

The light of Eärendil is not easy to collect. Every night when the stars are shining, a ray of starlight can be collected in the fountain. It takes about a year to collect starlight before it can condense into a drop of star dew.

And a whole bottle of Earendil's Light would take at least hundreds or thousands of years.

At the cost of consuming the light of Eärendil, the originally dark red magic crystal gradually faded and turned into a light red crystal.

Seeing that the star dew in Galadriel's bottle was almost empty, Dui took out his own bottle.

"My lady, please use this bottle of Earendil's light."

Galadriel shook her head.

"It is enough. The Light of Earendil only purified the magic crystal, but it cannot completely eradicate the polluted power of Morgoth. It will take some time to restore the Balrog's fire to its pure state."

As she spoke, she dipped her right hand into the fountain water and stirred it slowly.

The light of Nanya, the Water Ring on the finger, was faintly visible in the water. A powerful force merged into the water, and the spring water became silvery and sparkling, as if sprinkled with starlight.

The magic crystal was immersed in the spring water, and the violent and hot black flames in it became calm, and the temperature it emitted gradually decreased.

The flames were gradually fading at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and the evil aura was also fading.

"From today on, I will regularly inject purifying power into the spring water until the Eternal Fire is completely restored to purity." Galadriel said, withdrawing her hand.

Upon hearing this, Dui couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take?"

"Not much," Galadriel said. "Three years is enough."

"Three years?!" Dui couldn't help but exclaimed.

Isn’t that much?

Well, for an elf, it’s not that long.

In order to obtain the Phoenix Animagus, Dui said he could wait.

But in this case, his research on the Philosopher's Stone would need to be accelerated.

At least we can't just sit and wait for these three years. At least we have to have a small goal on the road to immortality.

He left the Fire Demon's Crystal in the fountain pool for purification, while Dui stayed in Lórien to recuperate.

After a full month of recuperation, the feeling of magic overdraft and spiritual fatigue was finally eliminated.

During this time, Dewy also remade three flying brooms.

His and Gandalf's broomsticks were destroyed by flames during their fight with the Balrog.

This time he used the trunks of the Maolong tree as materials, which had better performance and faster speed. Dui named the three brooms "Nimbus", "Comet" and "Firebolt" respectively.

The Nimbus was his own, the Comet was Arwen's, and the Firebolt was Gandalf's.

Just when Dewi was living a happy life in Lórien, a letter from Moria was delivered to Dewi.

Dui opened the letter sent by the raven and read the contents while thinking that maybe he should find a few owls to act as messengers.

The letter was from Balin, stating that they had completely recaptured Moria.

Some of the Orcs of Moria were slain by them.

The other group that escaped to the west gate was burned to ashes by the dragon Smaug who was guarding outside the gate.

Not one escaped.

So Balin, as the Lord of Moria, formally invited Dewi and Gandalf to visit.

Gandalf also received the letter.

Even Celeborn and Galadriel received invitations.

Due and Gandalf would naturally not refuse.

But Celeborn refused.

He has always been distrustful of the dwarves because the dwarves coveted the Silmarils and killed his great-uncle King Thingol, which led to the destruction of his hometown Doriath.

He even hesitated to leave Eregion because he was unwilling to enter Moria. It was not until the fall of Eregion that he crossed the Misty Mountains and reunited with Galadriel in Lórien.

However, Celeborn could not refuse outright and thus offend the dwarves who used the mithril mines, so he prepared a gift.

Galadriel, in step with her husband, did not go either.

Arwen, at Dewi's invitation and on behalf of Lórien, went to Moria to attend the Dwarfs' feast.

The three left Lórien and walked up the Celebrant River until they reached the eastern gate of Moria in Darkbrook Vale.

Balin personally welcomed the arrival of several people at the east gate.

"Welcome! Gandalf, Doir, and the beautiful Elf-ladies! Welcome to Moria!"

Balin was in high spirits at this moment and gave Dewi and Gandalf each a big hug.

Then he warmly invited them to enter Moria.

The group arrived at the first hall.

Moria is a very large space, running through the largest mountain range in Middle-earth. It takes at least three to four days to walk from the east gate to the west gate if you don't get lost and walk straight.

So Bahrain temporarily used the first hall as his main living place.

The dwarfs' banquet was very lively and luxurious.

Dui was also secretly amazed when he saw the knives, forks, cups, etc. made of mithril in front of him.

A small piece of mithril is enough to exchange for huge wealth in trade, and a complete object made of mithril is even more expensive.

For example, the mithril armor that Thorin gave to Bilbo was enough to buy the entire Shire.
