Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

"This is the resting place of Elendil, the High King who founded the Kingdom of Arnor and is the greatest lord of our Dúnedain."

Talmir bowed to the statue with reverence before introducing it to Dui.

Dui looked at the tomb and statue in front of him and bowed as well.

He also admired Elendil, the founder of the Kingdom of Arnor. After all, he was a strong man who could fight Sauron head-on in his heyday. Although he died in the end, he temporarily eliminated the huge threat posed by Sauron to Middle-earth.

"The orchids are blooming!"

Colorful flowers suddenly bloomed at the feet of the statue.

This was Dewy's tribute to the monarch.

When Talmir saw this, he instantly felt a liking for Dui.

It was a pity that there was no response from the system here. After Dui paid homage to Elendil's tomb, he left the Road of the Kings and continued to visit other places.

Finally, in the Chamber of Anu Elendil, the palace at the highest point of the city where the throne of Elendil stood.

The system finally responded.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating the Chamber of Annuminas-Anuelandil. Do you want to sign in?]

Dui calmly said to himself, "Sign in."

Chapter 186 Ravenclaw Diadem

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the alchemy of the Ravenclaw Diadem! ]

Ravenclaw crown? Dui was stunned, but then he was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't expect to get this this time.

The Ravenclaw Diadem is a relic of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and is also the treasure of Ravenclaw College.

It is said to have magical powers that increase the wearer's wisdom.

Therefore, generations of Ravenclaw students and professors have tried to find this relic in order to gain greater wisdom.

This treasure even triggered a tragic story that lasted for thousands of years:

Helena, the daughter of Ravenclaw, was jealous of her mother's wisdom and believed that the diadem had given her this ability, so she stole her mother's diadem and fled to Albania.

When Ravenclaw was seriously ill, he missed his daughter very much, so he asked the Bloody Baron, who loved Helena, to find him.

The Bloody Baron found Helena in the forests of Albania, but she refused to return home and hid the diadem in a hollow tree.

During the dispute, the Bloody Barrow turned love into hate, and in anger stabbed Helena to death, and then committed suicide.

Ravenclaw died of illness shortly after receiving this sad news, and the whereabouts of the crown has been unknown since then.

After their death, Helena and the Bloody Baron both became ghosts and returned to Hogwarts, one becoming the ghost of Ravenclaw College and the other the ghost of Slytherin.

A thousand years later, when Voldemort was still a student, he got the whereabouts of the Ravenclaw Diadem from the ghost of Helena, who was aliasing Lady Grey.

After finding the diadem, he made it into his fifth Horcrux and hid it in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts.

Eventually, this Ravenclaw relic was destroyed by the Fiendfyre unleashed by Slytherin student Crabbe during the Battle of Hogwarts.

From the beginning to the end, this crown, which is said to have the power to increase wisdom, has never demonstrated its ability, making it unknown whether it is true or not.

But now that Dui has obtained the alchemical production process of the Ravenclaw Crown, he knows that the rumors are not false.

Rowena Ravenclaw was renowned for her intelligence, but what most people didn't know was that she was also a skilled alchemist.

The Ravenclaw Diadem is an alchemical product she created, an item that can increase wisdom.

Of course, the power of the crown is not as exaggerated as it is said to be. It does not claim that anyone who wears it will gain infinite wisdom.

Instead, it will stimulate thinking potential, make the wearer's brain work faster, capture information more keenly, understand knowledge more quickly, and help them think and analyze problems more efficiently.

Therefore, a person with an empty head cannot gain wisdom even if he wears the Ravenclaw crown.

This is why Ravenclaw engraved the words "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind" on the crown, to warn that the crown itself does not bring wisdom, and it can only be accumulated by oneself.

But most people failed to understand Ravenclaw's painstaking efforts, even her daughter.

This was also the cause of a series of tragedies that followed.

Even though he knew that the crown could not increase wisdom, Dui was not disappointed. Instead, he wanted such a crown even more.

This is the best auxiliary tool for learning!

If he had the blessing of the Ravenclaw Diadem, his efficiency would be greatly improved whether he was learning magical knowledge or studying secrets.

As knowledge accumulates, wisdom will naturally increase and strength will improve accordingly.

This is what Dui thinks is the greatest use of the Ravenclaw Diadem.

In fact, in the wizarding world, there is a potion called intelligence-enhancing potion that has a similar function to the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Intelligence-enhancing drugs are also known as Bafei brain-stimulating drugs. After taking them, people can think more clearly and react more quickly.

Generally, before taking an exam, students like to take this potion in an attempt to pass the test and get high scores.

However, this behavior is prohibited by the school, especially during the most important fifth-year Ordinary Wizarding Level exams and the seventh-year final exams. Once discovered, the results will be cancelled.

Moreover, intelligence-enhancing drugs have a limited duration of effectiveness. Once you drink too much, they will produce side effects, such as dizziness, confusion, anxiety, and inability to concentrate.

Therefore, this potion is rarely used and cannot be compared with the Ravenclaw Diadem.

In a sense, the Ravenclaw Diadem is an enhanced and permanent version of the intelligence-enhancing potion, without any side effects.

Dui felt that the trip was worthwhile after gaining such a reward from this sign-in.

Having signed in, Dui did not plan to stay in Annúminas any longer.

But just as he said goodbye to the Dunedain and was about to call the giant eagle Thorondor over.

But he found that Thorondo was circling over the Dusk Lake, playing with a group of large white birds.

As a giant eagle, Thorondor is naturally the overlord of the sky. He can communicate with birds and is in a dominant and leading position, making him the king of birds.

I saw many birds surrounding Sorondo, like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix, and they kept catching big fish in the lake for him to eat.

Dui was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

But when I looked closely, I found that those big white birds were actually a group of owls.

Their size far exceeds that of ordinary owls, with a wingspan of four or five meters. Their pure white feathers are spotless, like the purest first snow in winter, or like white clouds in the sky, light and flowing.

"What kind of owls are those? Why have I never heard of them?" Dui asked Talmir curiously.

Talmir looked up at the white birds flying over the lake in the distance, not surprised, and explained with a smile:

"They are great snowy owls. They once lived on the island of Númenor. When our ancestors crossed the sea and came to Middle-earth, some of them followed them. However, their numbers were too small, so they were unknown to humans."

"Then they are raised by you?" Dui asked again.

Talmir shook his head.

"Great Snowy Owls are proud and proud. Although they don't resist humans, they won't surrender easily. They yearn for freedom. Even if you gain their approval, they will only visit their home temporarily, just like a family owner visiting another, and then leave quickly."

"These great snowy owls live in the pine forests at the northernmost end of Dusk Hills and often come to Dusk Lake to fish."

When Dui heard that it was an ownerless owl, he immediately stopped being polite.

As a wizard, how can you be without a pet like an owl?

Especially these great snowy owls are so beautiful, as white as snow, even their toes are like white jade, they look like white "elves".

When Dui saw the dwarves using ravens to deliver messages, he had considered getting a few owls as messengers.

Just never had the chance.

As for the giant eagle Thorondor, he was too big to be a messenger.

So he cast Animagus directly, and in front of Talmir's shocked eyes, he turned into an owl and flew towards Thorondo and the great snowy owls.

After transforming into an owl, Dui can understand what the owl and Thorondo say.

When he flew closer, he heard the great snowy owls calling Thorondo "King" one by one, and they brought him fish to feed him like tribute. The degree of flattery in their tone shocked Dui.

Is this still the proud Great Snowy Owl that Talmir mentioned? Are these a bunch of treacherous ministers?

"Sorondo, is this your new friend?" Dui flew in front of the giant eagle and asked with a smile.

"Master, this is my new little brother!" Thorondo recognized Dui's Animagus and immediately showed off to him proudly like a child showing off to his parents.

The other great snowy owls couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the majestic giant eagle calling an owl that was not even as big as them "master". Their big round eyes became even bigger in shock.

"You, you, you... are the boss's master?" A great snowy owl was so startled that the fish in its mouth dropped out, and asked in disbelief, stuttering.

Looking at the stunned looks of the great snowy owls, Dui was a little amused and deliberately teased, "Yeah, what's wrong? Don't they look alike?"

The great snowy owls felt as if they were struck by lightning and were dreaming.

Oh my god! It's the opposite of Tian Gang! Nowadays, an owl has become the master of a giant eagle!

After entertaining these snowy owls, Dui flew onto Thorondo's back and turned back into human form.

Seeing this, the great snowy owls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a person!

Hmm? Is it a human?

The great snowy owls were completely confused. Was this an owl or a human?

Dui, on the other hand, showed a friendly smile, like a bad uncle holding a lollipop and ready to kidnap a child.

Now that Sorondo has accepted these little brothers, the next thing will be easy.

Dui used his eloquence to lure them to Wind and Cloud Summit, promising them comfortable owl rooms and endless food.

Plus there was a giant eagle agreeing with him.

This group of inexperienced great snowy owls were so fooled that they agreed to work for Dui.

Then in the following time, the entire tribe of more than 300 great snowy owls, with their families, went to Fengyunding for resettlement under the leadership of the giant eagle.

The so-called "bringing the whole family along" really means exactly what it says.

I saw a great snowy owl clinging to its nest, and inside the nest were chirping chicks and even unhatched eggs.

They followed the giant eagle Thorondor in a mighty procession.
