Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

Chapter 122: Exposing the Ring

Gandalf, Galadriel, and Celeborn discussed the prophecy and the possible location of the One Ring.

But at this moment, a hesitant hand slowly raised up.

"Um...I know where the Ring is!"

Gandalf and the other two immediately turned their gazes to Bilbo, full of surprise.

"Bilbo, you said you knew the Lord of the Rings?" Gandalf looked at Bilbo in surprise.

Bilbo felt uncomfortable under the three searching glances, and it was not until he felt Dewi's hand on his shoulder that he struggled to muster up his courage.

"Actually, the ring you're talking about is right here with me."

As he spoke, he took out the ring from his pocket and placed it on the palm of his hand.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the golden ring in his hand.

Gandalf stared at the ring with an expression of surprise and doubt.

I really want to confirm whether this ring is the One Ring.

Celeborn looked at the ring with even greater vigilance, as if he had seen something dangerous.

Galadriel stepped forward, came to Bilbo, and stretched out her finger to touch the ring.

"Lady Galadriel!"

Gandalf worriedly tried to stop him.

Although her husband, Celeborn, did not stop her, he also looked worried.

Galadriel's fingers did not touch the ring in the end, but she withdrew her hand a few centimeters away as if she had been burned by flames.

"Although I don't know if this ring is the One Ring, I sense an evil power from it. It's so dark, so terrifying, and it can bewitch people's hearts!"

Galadriel said this with a serious and solemn expression.

"The One Ring was forged by Sauron at Mount Doom. If you want to confirm whether it is the One Ring, you only need to burn it with fire."

Gandalf explained the method.

Dewi patted Bilbo's shoulder and said, "Bilbo, put the ring on the table."

Bilbo's hands were a little sore from holding the ring, so he quickly did as he was told and placed the ring on the stone table beside him.

Dui directly cast a fire spell and burned the ring.

Under the scorching flames, mysterious words gradually emerged from inside the ring.

Gandalf came forward quickly and read the words on it with his head tilted: "The One Ring controls all the Rings, the One Ring seeks all the Rings..."

"The One Ring guides all the rings and binds them in darkness." Galadriel said the second half calmly.

"It now seems certain that the One Ring has reappeared."

Celeborn frowned and looked at the Ring with fear, his expression worried: "If the Ring appears, Middle-earth will never be at peace again!"

After confirming that it was the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf asked Bilbo very puzzled.

"Bilbo, where did you get the Ring?"

Bilbo did not hide it: "When I fell into Goblin Town, I fell to the bottom of the abyss. What I picked up from there should be that thing of Gollum."

Gandalf suddenly realized: "No wonder I didn't see you when I used the Palantir to search for you. Did you get the Ring at that time?"

Bilbo nodded.

Gandalf looked at Bilbo nervously again: "You have had the Ring for so long, have you felt any discomfort?"

He checked it again carefully with concern.

Bilbo shook his head. "I'm fine. Doir warned me to use it with caution, so I rarely use it except in dangerous situations."

Hearing this, Gandalf turned his gaze to Dewi.

"Dui'ir, did you know that the Ring was with Bilbo?"

Dewi didn't expect Bilbo to give him up so quickly, and nodded helplessly.

"Bilbo told me that when we came out of Goblin Town."

Gandalf looked at Dewi with disapproval.

"The Ring is very dangerous. Even the most powerful can be corrupted. You should have told me in time."

Bilbo quickly explained, "It's my fault. I told Doir not to tell anyone! He had already warned me, and it was he who asked me to tell anyone about the Ring just now!"

"Okay, Mithrandir, the facts of the past cannot be changed, and the most urgent thing now is to deal with them." Galadriel persuaded gently.

Gandalf stopped scolding the two men after hearing this.

Due and Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Galadriel with gratitude.

Gandalf was a little scary when he was angry, and it was thanks to Lady Galadriel that he came to the rescue.

Then everyone's eyes were once again focused on the ring.

Gandalf, Galadriel, and Celeborn all regarded the Ring as a formidable enemy and did not dare to touch it directly with their hands, for fear that they would be bewitched by its power.

But seeing Bilbo holding the Ring easily in his hand, it had no effect at all.

The three of them could only marvel at the magic of the Creator. They could have such a magical race like the Hobbits, who had such a high resistance to magic from the Lord of the Rings.

Everyone discussed the possibility of destroying the One Ring.

Legolas struck the Ring hard with his Elf sword, but the recoil caused pain in his hand.

But not a trace was left on the Ring.

"I remember that four of the Seven Dwarven Rings were destroyed by dragon fire. Perhaps we can ask the dragon of Duir for help?" Celeborn suggested.

Gandalf shook his head: "The One Ring was forged by Sauron at Mount Doom. The dragon's flames can destroy the Seven Rings of the Dwarves, but they cannot destroy the One Ring."

But then he looked at Dui,

"Dui'er, I remember you used that terrifying flame on the battlefield, which melted even the strongest steel instantly. Can you try to destroy the ring now?"

Dui was also a little curious whether Liefae could destroy the One Ring?

After all, in the magical world, the Fiery Curse can destroy Horcruxes.

To be honest, the One Ring is a bit like an upgraded version of the Horcrux. In the magical world, a wizard will not truly die unless the Horcrux is destroyed.

Likewise, as long as the One Ring is not destroyed, Sauron's spirit will still exist.

However, he felt a little unsafe when looking at the tree house environment.

"The Fiery Curse is a bit dangerous and difficult to control. It's best to find an open area to perform it."

This request was not difficult, and soon everyone moved to an open space.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Dui released Fiendfyre at the ring on the ground.

A blue flame burst out from the wand and covered the ring.

The fierce fire was raging, trying to spread to other places to strengthen itself, and even wanted to retaliate and burn the wand.

Dui pulled hard and controlled the fierce fire to a small size.

Although the fierce fire was small, it was filled with an aura of destruction, which made the people watching around it look solemn.

At the same time, he also began to look forward to Li Huo.

Such a terrifying demonic fire should be able to shake the One Ring, right?

As time passed, the scorching fire had burned a big hole in the hard ground, but the One Ring remained unchanged.

No, there are some changes.

The entire ring turned red, as if it was burning.

This scene made everyone's eyes light up.

You should know that when the ring was burned with fire before, the ring only revealed the inscription on it, but the ring itself was cold.

Now there are different changes.

Seeing this, Dui was also cheered up. He immediately continued to increase the firepower and kept burning the magic ring with fierce fire.

In this way, time passed in a flash, one hour, two hours...

Gandalf and the elves were very patient and quietly observed the changes in the ring, as if they did not feel tired at all.

And Dewi was also enveloped by the power of Gandalf's Ring of Fire and showed no sign of fatigue.

After a day and a night, Dui finally put an end to the fierce fire.

He picked up the ring with his wand and took a closer look. Looking at the still smooth ring, he couldn't help but frown.

"Is it useless?"

"Yes, it worked. The flames burned off some of the ring's power. It's become much dimmer now."

Galadriel came over and looked at the ring and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to take a closer look and discovered that the ring's luster had indeed become a little dim.

If you don't look carefully, you won't notice this at all.

Everyone suddenly gained more confidence in destroying the ring.

"How long will it take to burn the ring?" Dui asked worriedly.

"With the current power of fire, it should only take about a thousand years to completely destroy it." Galadriel slowly approached the ring and said after sensing it for a moment.

"But once your strength increases, Duil, this time will be shortened."

"A thousand years is indeed not a long time. We can wait patiently." Celeborn nodded.

Legolas and Arwen, who were present, both looked in agreement.

Only Dewi and Bilbo smacked their lips.

"But I can't wait!" Dui complained loudly in his heart.
