Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

This Elvish text was written by Arwen. It not only records the name of the sword and its owner, but also is endowed with the will and power to judge and destroy darkness.

Looking at the work that took him a full six months to complete, Dui was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

"Flaming Sword!" Dui shouted.

The next second, the sword on the forging table disappeared instantly and then appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Feeling the weight in his hand, Dui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

During the forging process, this sword was infused with his spirit and will, and has recognized its master. No matter where he is, as long as he summons it, the sword will instantly appear in his hand.

And no one can take up the flaming sword unless he has his approval and permission.

Because the flaming sword will become extremely hot in the hands of those with bad intentions, causing burns at the very least and death at the worst.

In addition, because the Flame Sword is made of Mother Mithril, it is not only indestructible, but also contains very powerful magical properties. It can resist attacks from various spells, even the Death Curse.

And most importantly, the Flame Sword can absorb substances that strengthen itself, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

This is also the most praised and admired aspect of the fairy forging process.

Dui took out a crystal bottle of basilisk venom and poured the venom onto the sword.

The sword body was seen slowly absorbing the venom of the basilisk, and soon it gained the venom's ability to corrode and destroy everything. At the same time, the sword body was also highly toxic.

Once the flaming sword cuts the enemy's skin, the enemy will be poisoned and die instantly.

Dui was delighted to see the prey, and stabbed the sword directly into the body of the fire demon.

The Flame Sword quickly absorbed the Fire Demon's abilities, not only consuming flames to make itself stronger, but also releasing flame attacks.

He released fierce fire towards the Flame Sword, and saw that the Flame Sword swallowed up all the fierce fire like a whale. When it released the fire again, the Flame Sword took on some of the attributes of the fierce fire.

Finally, Dui endured the pain, took out the crystal bottle of Earendil's Light, and dripped a few drops of star dew onto the sword.

The star dew containing the power of starlight was slowly absorbed by the flaming sword.

The sword body seemed to have been washed, becoming purer. Even the flame crystals on the hilt became clear and transparent, without a trace of impurities. The dark aura belonging to the fire demon was washed away.

What surprised Dui even more was that when the star of Eärendil was in the sky, the sword could actively absorb starlight.

Dui was very happy about this unexpected surprise.

The light of Eärendil has a great restraining effect on dark creatures. If the flaming sword can absorb enough starlight, it will definitely be a sword that can nemesis dark creatures.

In order to allow the Flaming Sword to receive more starlight, Dui simply placed it on the top of Amon Sul'tar to receive the illumination of the Star of Eärendil.

The reforging of the Flame Sword was completed, and Dui's forging task was temporarily suspended.

Instead, he focused more on alchemy.

In fact, there are certain similarities between the goblin's forging techniques and the wizard's alchemy.

As Dui progressed in goblin crafting, he gained a greater understanding of alchemy.

His biggest goal for alchemy at present is to be able to create a philosopher's stone so that he can have the foundation for immortality.

But making a philosopher's stone is not that easy.

Even though the Book of Abraham records the method of making the Philosopher's Stone, it would be extremely difficult to make the Philosopher's Stone without a solid foundation in alchemy.

This is like asking an elementary school student to study nuclear weapons.

Even if there are very detailed production drawings, how can it be produced?

So Dui directly sought external help, that is, his future father-in-law, Lord Elrond, the most wise and knowledgeable Lord of Rivendell in Middle-earth.

Although Elrond did not approve of Dewi and Arwen being together, he loved his daughter dearly and obviously did not want to see her sad, nor did he want to see her give up the eternal life of an elf because Dewi could not live forever.

So after receiving the Philosopher's Stone production drawings and Runic Dictionary from Dui, he has been studying them silently.

Elrond, who possessed infinite wisdom and knowledge, successfully mastered the knowledge of runes in a very short time and studied it to a level that even Dui could not reach.

And he also has a deep understanding of the production of the Philosopher's Stone.

Chapter 180 Elements of the Magic Stone

"In addition to specific astrological signs and rituals, the creation of the Philosopher's Stone also requires certain elements and conditions."

Elrond said to Dewi in the Hall of Fire in Rivendell.

"I've pretty much understood the meaning of the runes on the blueprint. According to the explanation, the creation of the Philosopher's Stone requires three primordial elements and four elements. None of these conditions can be missing, otherwise the Philosopher's Stone cannot be completed."

"Which three principles and four elements?" Dui asked.

"The three primordial substances are salt of the body, mercury of the spirit, and sulfur of the soul, while the four elements are water, fire, air, and earth."

Elrond answered with a look of admiration on his face.

"I don't know which wise man created such a miraculous Philosopher's Stone, but it's clear that its creator wasn't simply seeking immortality. Instead, he was attempting to use it as a medium to gain insight into and understand the secrets of the universe, thereby achieving 'spiritual harmony' and achieving ultimate spiritual sublimation."

"As for immortality, it's just an extension of the Philosopher's Stone, more like an accessory."

Dui was also very surprised to hear what Elrond said.

Isn't the Philosopher's Stone supposed to grant immortality and turn everything it touches into gold? How could there be such an explanation?

Doubtful, Dewi told Elrond about Nicolas Flamel's situation.

Elrond thought about it, shook his head and said:

"I think the Philosopher's Stone made by this person you mentioned is probably not a true Philosopher's Stone, but a semi-finished product.

Because the process of making the Philosopher's Stone itself is a kind of practice, it requires the maker to achieve the unity of spirit, soul and matter, and reach the state of "spiritual harmony" at the moment the Philosopher's Stone is completed. Only in this way can the Philosopher's Stone be perfect.

The person you are talking about obviously had an unfulfilled mind when he created the Philosopher's Stone, so the Philosopher's Stone he created is imperfect."

There was actually such an explanation? Dui couldn't help but be astonished.

Then came a wave of distress.

Nicolas Flamel lived for such a long time but still couldn't achieve spiritual harmony. Could he have created a perfect Philosopher's Stone?

"Forget it, it's good enough to be able to make a semi-finished Philosopher's Stone first! At worst, I can prolong my life first, and there's no rush to make it after my soul is complete." Dui thought to himself.

So he simply continued to ask with doubt: "Lord Elrond, I understand the four elements you mentioned, but how do you explain the salt of the body, the mercury of the spirit, and the sulfur of the soul?"

Elrond replied: "The three elements used to make the Philosopher's Stone are not ordinary substances such as salt, mercury, and sulfur, but the product of the unity of body, mind, soul and real matter."

Dui seemed to understand, then asked, "Then, are there any places where these three substances can be found?"

Elrond nodded.

"The Mercury of the Spirit represents the fluidity of the spirit. Located at the Grey Havens on the western coast, it marks the starting point of the elves' westward journey. It carries the elves' attachment to and farewell to Middle-earth, and precipitates the weight of time and countless unspoken memories.

If you want to find the Mercury of Spirit, you can go there to collect it. I think the Lord of the Grey Havens will help you."

"This is also the easiest one for you to find among the three elements of the Philosopher's Stone."

Then he continued:

“Next is Soul Sulfur, which represents the Fire of the Soul and can only exist where souls gather.

Throughout the world of Arda, besides the Halls of Mandos, where souls return, I understand there are also places where souls who refused Mandos's call linger. For example, the mountain folk of Erech at the end of the Road of Death in the White Mountains. Because they broke their oaths, Isildur cursed them to never rest in peace, and their souls were imprisoned there after death."

"If you want to find the sulfur of the soul, you must go there. But the undead there refuse to allow the living to enter. Even I dare not venture there lightly, so if you want to go, you must be mentally prepared."

Dui nodded.

Of course he had heard of the Road of Death.

It is said that when the Kingdom of Gondor was established in the Second Age, Isildur asked the people of Erech, who lived south of the White Mountains, to pledge their allegiance to a black stone: if Gondor fell into crisis, the people of Erech must join forces to resist the enemy.

But when Sauron later attacked Gondor, these mountain people did not fulfill their oath because they were afraid of Sauron.

Isildur then cursed them to have no rest until the day of their vow was fulfilled.

Therefore, after the death of these Erech mountain people, their souls were trapped in the same place and could not rest in peace. They also built the Road of Death to guard there and refuse entry to all living people.

Among them, Baldo, the eldest son of the second generation King of Rohan, once vowed to take the road of death, but he never returned and died there.

Until the beginning of the War of the Ring, in order to obtain more troops to fight against Sauron, Aragorn, at the reminder of Elrond, went to the Road of Death, and in the name of Isildur's direct descendant and the reforged holy sword Narsil in his hand, summoned the undead to serve him.

"Where can I find the salt of the flesh?"

Dewi grew worried when he saw that Elrond had saved the salt of the flesh for last.

Is this the hardest to get?

Elrond replied:

“The salt of the flesh represents stability and vitality, which is most likely to be found in the place where life first began.

Among them, the birthplace of the elves, Queviernen, had long been sunk in the War of Wrath in the First Age;

The birthplace of the Dwarves is unknown to anyone except the Valar who created them. Afterwards, they were placed in different mountains to sleep, and were not awakened until the Elves woke up.

The only place most likely to be found is Hildorion, the birthplace of mankind."

But when it comes to this, Elrond's expression becomes a little serious, and he says to Dui seriously:

"Hildorion is in the Far East. I don't know its exact location. It may have been forgotten in the changes of human history, but it is in the area ruled by Sauron.

If you want to find it, you can only rely on yourself, and you must be careful of Sauron. You have repeatedly thwarted his plans, and he must hate you to the core. If you are not careful, you may fall into it!

Dui also nodded seriously and expressed his gratitude.

"I understand. Thank you, Lord Elrond! If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have heard about the Philosopher's Stone so quickly!"

It is true that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure.

If he were left to explore things on his own, it would take him forever to understand these things.

Fortunately, Elrond didn't know what Dui was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would have let him know what it meant to respect the elderly.

Although Elrond told Dewi in detail about the three elements of the Philosopher's Stone, he still shook his head and sighed, "Honestly, I suggest you wait two years. After Lady Galadriel purifies the Balrog's Heart, you can use the Balrog's eternal fire to forge the Fire of Nirvana and thus gain immortality."

"There are too many uncertainties in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. The Road of Death and the Far East are not good places. If you are not careful, you will end up in eternal damnation. I don't want to see Arwen heartbroken for you."

Listening to Elrond's somewhat heavy words, Dewi raised his head with a very serious expression.

"Lord Elrond, I promise you that I will never put myself in a desperate situation, nor will I give Arwen the opportunity to be sad!"

Looking at Dui's solemn promise.

Elrond nodded, forcing a gentle smile.
