Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

After saying this, he followed the angry Gandalf and left the team.

Seeing the two people closest to him leave, Bilbo looked at the dwarves awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

He could only hide in Dui's carriage and try to make himself invisible.

Thorin did not react at all to the departure of Gandalf and Due, and he directed the dwarves to rest on the spot.

front,

After Thorin's team could no longer be seen behind him.

The anger on Gandalf's face disappeared instantly, and he said to Dewi, "No matter what, we must go to Rivendell. Only Elrond can decipher the code on the map. Otherwise, even if we reach the Lonely Mountain, we will have no way to enter."

Seeing the anger disappear from Gandalf's face, Dewi asked curiously, "You're not angry?"

Gandalf shook his head. "I'm not angry, I just want to leave for a while. These dwarves are as hard and stinky as the stones under the orcs' buttocks. If I hadn't taken issue with them, I would have died of anger many times."

Being able to use such an adjective, it seemed that he was still a little angry. Dui listened to Gandalf's duplicity with some amusement.

"Gandalf, now that we're out, what should we do next? Are we really just exploring the way ahead?"

"We cannot join them yet," said Gandalf. "Thorin is very stubborn. Unless we knock him out, it will be hard for him to agree to go to Rivendell. So we need an opportunity to change his mind."

"What opportunity?"

"An opportunity to put them in crisis. Only when he encounters danger he cannot face will he change his stubborn ideas."

"Do you want to put them in danger?" Dui opened his eyes wide and looked at Gandalf in disbelief.

"This is the Troll Forest, not far from the Misty Mountains. It's hard not to encounter danger." Gandalf said with a smile, "Although it may seem a bit boastful, if we stay with them, we can easily deal with those dangers, and it won't put too much pressure on them."

"So I can only drag you out first and then protect you secretly. As long as we make sure their lives are not in danger, it will be fine."

I didn't expect you to be such a Gandalf! Dewi was secretly shocked.

But he still frowned slightly, "What about Bilbo? Why didn't you call it out just now? Why did you have to suffer with the dwarves?"

"That would be too obvious!" Gandalf shook his head. "Bilbo needs to grow up. He can't rely too much on us. Besides, sharing the joys and sorrows will make his relationship with the dwarves closer and more harmonious, which will be more helpful for our journey ahead."

Well, poor Bilbo, Dewi could only mourn for him for a few seconds.

Chapter 53 Parseltongue

Although they wanted to make Thorin and others suffer, Gandalf and Dewi still did not forget to explore the way.

Although the two were walking forward, their speed was not slow.

Especially when he was with Gandalf and under the influence of the power of Naya, the Ring of Fire, Dui didn't feel tired at all.

In this regard, Dui could only express envy.

He also wants a magical weapon like this.

It’s a pity that the three elven rings are in the hands of three powerful people, and he has no chance to obtain them.

It is no wonder that the white wizard Saruman was jealous because Gandalf was given the Ring of Fire, Naya, by Cirdan, and he became estranged from Gandalf.

Who wouldn’t want such a magical weapon?

Thinking of this, he thought of the One Ring again.

Now the Ring is still in Gollum's hands in the Misty Mountains, but it will soon fall into Bilbo's hands.

This made him curious about the power of the One Ring.

After all, this ring is said to be more powerful than the three rings of the elves, but in Bilbo's hands, it seems to have no other abilities except helping him become invisible.

But when he thought of the One Ring's power to corrode the soul, which even Gandalf, Galadriel and others dared not touch, he gave up the idea.

He didn't think he was stronger than Gandalf and Galadriel, and that he was immune to the power of the One Ring.

Dewi and Gandalf walked along the road until it was dark, until they passed a little, nameless village.

But what made Dewi and Gandalf look even more solemn was that the small village had been severely damaged and there was not a single person in sight.

Judging from the traces of destruction, the destruction did not happen very long ago, probably in the recent period.

I don’t know whether the people in the village have suffered a bad fate or have escaped luckily?

Due and Gandalf preferred the latter.

But when they walked into the village and saw some bloodstains and untouched furniture, their mood became heavy.

Obviously, the people here are more likely to have met with an accident.

Gandalf carefully examined the signs of destruction, and then said in a heavy tone, "The force of the destruction was great, and there are huge footprints. This must have been done by a troll."

The two left the village in silence and continued walking forward, encountering several small villages one after another.

But without exception, all were severely damaged, and there was not a single person left in the village.

The two of them felt increasingly depressed.

"The previous plan has been cancelled!" Gandalf suddenly said to Dewi. "Our most urgent task is to find the trolls who destroyed the village. They have abducted a large number of villagers and have not been away for long. Perhaps there is still hope for their survival."

Dui naturally had no objection.

The two stopped moving forward and instead changed direction and headed deeper into the Troll Forest, following the Trolls' footprints in search of them.

The two walked deeper and deeper until midnight, when they thought they had found their target.

Instead they encountered a large swamp.

Looking at the swamp in front of him, Gandalf frowned.

The swamp was muddy and the ogre's footprints were submerged in water, so the trail of traces was cut off here.

Dui also remained silent. He remembered the guiding spell in Harry Potter, but the problem was that he had not learned it yet, so he was unable to do so.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating Troll Forest, do you want to sign in?]

The system suddenly gives a prompt.

Dui was stunned for a moment, then quickly said to himself: "Sign in!"

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the Parseltongue talent!]

Parseltongue talent? Dui was a little surprised. He didn't expect to get this this time.

But after waiting for a while, he didn't find anything extra.

Could it be a failure? That shouldn't be the case.

"Ah~" Gandalf sighed, looking a little lost. "Dui'er, we can only rely on our luck now. Let's see if we can find the troll's cave as soon as possible."

"Well, Gandalf, I have a way to try, but I don't know if it will succeed..." Dui suddenly said uncertainly.

"Do you have a solution?" Gandalf's eyes lit up and he stared at him intently.

Dui felt a little insecure when he saw Gandalf, so he nodded and said, "I don't know if it will work, but I'm just trying."

It is said that swamps are where insects and snakes gather. Dui tried to pretend to be a snake and shouted into the swamp: "Are there any snakes?"

Just when Dui was embarrassed and thought that he was shouting out human words.

From Gandalf's perspective, he saw Due hissing at the swamp.

The voice contained power and sounded cold and smooth, like the intimidating hissing sound of a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, which made people feel uneasy and mysterious when listening to it.

"What language is this?" Gandalf asked in surprise. "It sounds like a snake speaking."

Dui also realized that he had just spoken the language of snakes. He was delighted and explained, "This is Parseltongue, or the language of snakes. It allows me to communicate with snakes."

Just as Dui was explaining, there was movement in the swamp. Countless snakes emerged from the water and grass, including water snakes, poisonous snakes, pythons, etc., all gathering towards Dui.

The dense crowds of snakes, big and small, make one's scalp tingle and give one goosebumps.

Gandalf was surprised to see this, and said meaningfully, "Isn't it more than just communicating with snakes?"

However, Dui's attention was not on Gandalf at the moment, so he did not hear his words clearly. He did not expect that there were so many snakes living in the swamp, especially after he had the gift of Parseltongue. At this moment, he only felt that there were noisy sounds all around him.

"Hey, human, did you summon us? Why can you speak our snake language?" a water snake asked with its head raised.

"I was just making a baby with Xiaohong when this damn human summoned us. I really want to bite him!" A bright green poisonous snake threatened with its tongue in displeasure, but it didn't dare to bite.

"I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten for more than a month. Human, can you give me this old man to eat? I promise to treat you well..." A giant python as thick as a bucket and more than ten meters long said hungrily.

……

Dui felt his head buzzing and immediately shouted, "Be quiet!"

Hissing snake language came out of Dui's mouth, and all the snakes seemed to be controlled by some force. They became quiet in an instant and crawled limply on the ground.

Dewi gradually adapted to his Parseltongue talent. He immediately ordered the snakes, "Do any of you know the location of the nearby troll cave? Lead us immediately!"

The hungry python was the first to answer: "I know where the ogre is! As long as you give me food, I will take you there right away."

Dui raised an eyebrow.

And he knows how to make requests? He seems to be a smart snake.

He smiled and agreed: "As long as you lead us the way, we will kill the ogre later and leave the whole ogre for you to eat. How about it?"

"Really? You can kill the ogre?" the python expressed doubt.

"Of course it's true. I'm a wizard. Otherwise, why can I talk to you?"

"Then I will believe you!" The python nodded, then turned its big head towards Gandalf, its eyes drooling.

"But can't you let me eat the old man next to you first? I know several ogre caves with a lot of shiny things in them. They seem to be things that you humans like. I can take you to get them, how about it?"

The corner of Dewi's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he glanced at Gandalf who was standing beside him and knew nothing about it.

It seems I spoke too early. This snake has brains, but not much.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and lead the way!" Dui didn't continue talking nonsense with it and urged it quickly.

The python could not disobey the Parseltongue's orders, so it immediately turned around and led the way in a certain direction of the swamp.

The other snakes scattered and fled.

Dewi immediately turned to Gandalf and said, "Come on, Gandalf. This python knows where the troll's cave is. We just need to follow it."

As he waved his wand, a hard stone bridge appeared in the muddy swamp.

Dui stepped onto the stone bridge and followed the direction of the python.
