Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 12 Wand Making
As soon as Dui arrived here, he looked at the old willow tree very vigilantly.

Those trees kept attacking him just to force him to come here, to the old willow tree.

Dewy knew it,
It was Huorn, a close relative of the Ents, the treemen. Even the trees that had attacked him before were Huorn.

Huorn is more like a tree than a tree man, and can be said to be a tree with self-awareness and is extremely aggressive.

The old willow tree in front of us is the oldest and most powerful Huorn in this old forest.

And it is full of malice towards humans.

At some point, a soft voice floated in the air, as if a soothing and pleasant lullaby lingering in my ears.

Dui suddenly felt sleepy and his head became dizzy.

He approached the old willow tree as if sleepwalking, without realizing that he was in danger.

The cracks on the old willow tree became bigger and more twisted, revealing a hideous and terrifying smile, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

Dui walked closer and closer and came to the old willow tree.

The branches of the old willow tree moved without wind, and a song full of hypnotic magic emanated from every leaf on the willow tree.

It was like someone was whispering a lullaby, or like a group of people were whispering.

Just as the old willow tree opened a huge crack like a mouth, trying to swallow him into its trunk, the system that had been unresponsive finally reappeared.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locate Lao Linzi, do you want to sign in?]

Dui's originally blurred eyes suddenly became clear, and he quickly cast a spell towards the crack:
"All petrified!"

A beam of white light hit the old willow tree, and the old willow tree was instantly frozen, and the singing stopped instantly.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the petrified old willow tree broke free from the spell and swung its thick branches at him.

Dui took a deep breath. The petrification spell had no effect? ​​He had run into a tough opponent!

"Protect yourself with armor!" An invisible shield blocked Dui and collided with the huge branches of the old willow tree. The huge force caused the shield to create ripples.

Seeing that the shield could not hold out for long, Dui kept thinking about ways to break through. When he saw the thick fallen leaves at the foot of the old willow tree, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The flames are blazing!" A fireball flew out of Dui's hand and landed on a pile of fallen leaves. The fallen leaves caught fire and quickly surrounded the old willow tree and spread to it.

Fire is the nemesis of trees, and even the old willow tree is no exception. The fear of fire makes the old willow tree no longer care about attacking Dui, but desperately wave its branches to beat the flames, trying to extinguish it.

Seeing this opportunity, Dui took out the bone-chopping knife from his waist, cut off a willow branch with one knife, and flew back with the willow branch.

After getting the willow branch, Dui fled as fast as he could, running downstream of the Willow River without looking back. He only heard a roar of anger and hatred coming from behind.

The lower reaches of the Willow River merge into the Brandywine River, and the confluence point is not far from Buckland.

Now it was impossible to return the same way, so Dui planned to go downstream along the Willow River, then go back to the Brandywine River and go upstream to Bucktown.

But before that, he had one more thing to do. "System, sign me in."

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the Ollivander wand crafting process! ]

In an instant, many wand-making techniques and knowledge flooded into his mind, allowing him to immediately learn how to make a wand.

Dui was very happy. Although the sign-in reward this time was not a physical object like a spell, with the method of making a wand, he could make a wand that suits him and double his strength.

Especially without a wand, it would be difficult for him to cast lethal or powerful spells.

For example, if he didn't have a magic wand to help him cast the Avada Kedavra curse, he would probably be the first one to be killed.

Dui had originally prepared for the trees along the Willow River to block and attack him, but to his surprise, the trees on the river bank were very quiet and allowed him to pass smoothly.

Unable to figure it out, he didn't think much about it and followed the river to its confluence, then continued upstream along the Brandywine River.

It was already early morning the next day when we arrived at Bucks Town.

"Oh my God, Duyle, where have you been? Why do you look like this?" Drogo Baggins looked at Duy, who had returned exhausted, with his eyes wide open and said in disbelief.

"I went to the old forest and had a fight with the trees." Dui sat down on the low sofa, took a breath, and then explained with a grin. When he left before, he didn't tell Zhuo Guo that he was going to the old forest in order not to worry him.

"What? You actually went to the Old Forest!" Zhuo Guo's face was full of shock, and he almost knocked over the bread he brought. The Old Forest was a forbidden forest for the Hobbits, especially the Hobbits in Buckland. No one dared to go there. But Dui dared to go there alone, which scared him.

After the shock, he quickly looked at Dui carefully, and made sure that he didn't have any body parts left on him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Dui smiled and shook his head. "Have you forgotten that I'm a wizard? Don't worry about me. I'm not the one who will suffer this time!"

After comforting Zhuo Guo, Dui did not go to rest immediately after breakfast, but started to process the wood he brought back.

The wood brought back this time included more than a dozen kinds of wood, including chestnut, alder, laurel, elm, and a piece of willow branch from an old willow tree.

He started with chestnut to test its compatibility with his magic power, but the results were all more or less magical resistance, and it was not the most suitable wood for his wand.

It was not until the old willow tree's branch came into his turn that a happy smile appeared on Dui's face.

The willow branches of the old willow tree not only have the highest magical properties among all woods, but are also the wood that best suits him at present. His magic power is transmitted most smoothly and quickly through the willow wood. This is simply a surprise!
He finally found the material for the wand body!
Next, he just needs to find a suitable wand core and start making his own wand.

It was all about luck. According to the memory of Ollivander's wand-making process that I had just acquired, the wood used to make the wand not only needed to have magical properties, but more importantly, it had to be collected at midnight when the moon was full to ensure optimal performance of the wand.

This is why the wands made by the Ollivander family are better than those made by other wand makers.

Last night happened to be a full moon night, so Dui didn't need to get another branch from the old willow tree.

The willow branch was about one meter long and could be used to make several wands. Dui cut it into three parts, picked up one and looked at it in his hand. The ideal shape and size instantly came to his mind, and he instinctively knew how to start.

This is an ability given to him by Ollivander's wand-making process.
