Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 231 Golden Bow and Silver Arrow
However, creating Horcruxes is not without its side effects.

He discovered that as he separated a fragment of his soul, a part of his rationality was also taken away, making him somewhat impulsive and reckless.

For example, when he went to rescue Morida, he was very careless and almost put himself in a desperate situation.

And this is only a fragment of a soul that has been split off.

If one's soul were to split into seven fragments like Voldemort's, Duy couldn't imagine how much sanity would remain.

Dui looked at the True Knowledge Crystal in his hand, which he had crafted into a Horcrux, with a sense of unease.

When he was making Horcruxes, he even considered whether it would be safer to make several more. For example, he could choose a container from among the Crown of Wisdom, the Golden Cup, the Resurrection Stone, and the Spear of Aegis.

Fortunately, he didn't do that.

He decided that this Horcrux would be his last and only Horcrux, and he even had to consider how to make up for the side effects of an incomplete soul.
Dui only created a Horcrux, so the side effects were not very obvious. Apart from being impulsive and reckless at times, his thinking and rationality were not greatly affected.

However, Dui dared not underestimate such a situation. The lesson learned from the rescue of Morida served as a warning that one could easily find himself in dire straits.

To address the side effects, one temporary solution is to take a soul stabilizer.

Soul Stabilizer is a magical potion that can alleviate the pain and tremors of the soul. In the magical world, it is mainly used to stabilize and repair a person's soul when it has been severely impacted or damaged.

This potion can also be used to alleviate the pain of soul fragmentation during Horcrux creation and to keep the creator of the Horcrux clear-headed and calm.

Voldemort was the biggest beneficiary of the Soul Stabilizer, and for this reason, he specially commissioned Snape, the Potions Master, to create a Soul Stabilizer of extremely high quality for him.

Of course, this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and requires long-term continuous use to alleviate the pain and side effects caused by damage to the soul.

This is similar to painkillers; they only temporarily block out the pain in the soul, but they cannot cure the damage to the soul.

Besides the soul stabilizer, there is another way to completely repair the soul.

That is to allow the fragments of the soul that have been separated to re-merge with the main soul and become whole again.

This method requires not only specific magic, but more importantly, sincere, soul-searching repentance, and the process will be extremely painful.

But no one would choose such a method.

After all, the initial purpose was to split the soul in order to create a Horcrux. If the soul fragments were to be made whole again, why would one have to endure the pain of the soul being torn apart?

Dui, of course, would not choose to retrieve the soul fragments from the Horcrux just for a few side effects.

More importantly, he killed an orc when he made the Horcrux. Is he supposed to repent for killing an orc? And is it supposed to be a heartfelt repentance?
Dui felt that this condition was too harsh on him.

Therefore, he didn't even consider this method.

In addition to these two methods, Dui discovered that his meditation also had an effect on damaged souls.

Meditation can enhance mental strength, thereby strengthening the soul and naturally healing its wounds.

However, this process is extremely slow. Dui estimates that it will take at least a decade to complete the replacement of the separated soul fragments.

This effect is due to the extraordinary nature of Dui's meditation method.

Dui decided that once he had collected the "Salt of the Flesh" and created the Philosopher's Stone to solve the problem of lifespan, he would stay in his territory until his soul was fully repaired.

However, before that, he did the same as Voldemort, creating a soul stabilizer to temporarily stabilize the side effects of soul damage.

Soul Stabilizer is a high-level potion, complex and extremely difficult to make, not to mention that some of its ingredients don't exist in this world.

It took Dui two whole months, with the help of the brown-robed Darrigaster and Elrond, to find alternative materials and successfully make a pot of soul stabilizer.

The Soul Stabilizer appeared as a silver liquid. Dui drank a small bottle of the potion, and a cool energy surged up his head.

His mind became very clear, and the lingering pain of his soul splitting after creating the Horcrux quickly disappeared.

He regained his composure and rationality, and the impulsive and restless feeling disappeared.

However, Dui knew this was only temporary; a bottle of soul stabilizer could only maintain its effect for a month, and he needed to take it continuously to suppress the side effects of soul splitting.

One potion of magic potion is only enough to maintain its effects for three months.

This means he needs to produce more soul stabilizers, enough for him to take regularly.

However, Dui doesn't have much time to make potions right now, because the year is coming to an end and the new year is about to begin.

The birthplace of humankind, Hildorion, appears when the first rays of the new year's sun shine upon the earth.

Dui needs to reach Hildorion's location before he can successfully enter the Valley of Slumber.

Of the two blue-robed wizards, Romisdanu, after confirming his friend's safety, used Dui's key to return to the Far East ahead of time to prevent Sauron's forces from launching an invasion while he was away.

Moredar, equally concerned about the situation in the East, rested in the Valley for a while before disregarding Elrond's pleas to stay and immediately returned to the East. However, since his staff had been stolen, Elrond and Dui, considering that he had no staff to protect him, gave Moredar the staff they had previously seized from Saruman.

Saruman's staff was not very easy for Moreda to use, but it was exactly what Moreda needed, so that he wouldn't be left empty-handed.

Therefore, Moreda did not refuse Elrond and Dui's kindness and gratefully accepted Saruman's staff.

Thus, Moreda's staff was taken by Saruman, and Saruman's staff fell into Moreda's hands.

A strange situation has arisen between the two sides.

After arranging matters in Windrise and Eisengard and bidding farewell to Alvin and Elrond, Dui raised his hand to touch a silver brooch on his chest, and the next second he vanished into thin air.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived in the Far East.

"Duir, welcome to the East!" The blue-robed wizards Romisdanu and Moreda greeted Duir with warm smiles.

They were in a forest, with a wooden cabin behind the blue-robed wizard.

This is a hilly mountain range located on the southern coast of the Rune Inner Sea, where a herd of Alavu bison, descendants of the hunting god Oromi, also lives nearby.

Romisdanus's mount was one of them.

Romisdanu and Morida welcomed Dui's arrival and invited him to rest in the cabin.

The cabin here is a secret stronghold of Romisdanu. As adversaries who have been entangled with Sauron in the East for many years, the two blue-robed wizards have countless secret strongholds, constantly moving between them to deal with Sauron's forces.

Romisdanus specially served Dui with milk from the Alavu bison, a milk believed to have magical properties that would greatly increase one's strength if consumed regularly.

Therefore, many people were eager to hunt Alavu bison, and even the nearby Dongyi tribes and kingdoms once captured Alavu female bison extensively to train strongmen.

Of course, the Alavu bison, as a descendant of the Oromian bull, is not only powerful and fast, but its two sharp horns can easily pierce through fierce beasts such as lions and tigers, making it an invincible existence on the plains.

Therefore, catching the Alavu bison is not so easy.

As Dui drank the milk, he could feel some mysterious substance contained within it slowly enhancing his power.

However, since Dui's physique had already become comparable to that of an ordinary elf thanks to the nourishment from the Ent drink, the effect of the milk was not very noticeable.

However, long-term consumption should greatly increase his strength.

Although Dui is a wizard, who would refuse to become a strongman?
He thought that after completing his mission, he might be able to capture a few Alavu bison and take them to Eisengard to raise in captivity.

Inside the hut, Romisdanu served Dui Alavuye milk.

Moreda then kept his promise and handed Dui a golden bow.

The golden bow appeared to be made of gold, yet it possessed resilience. Its entire surface was engraved with exquisite patterns and mysterious symbols, and it was accompanied by three silver arrows.

"The bow is made from trees that grow in Valinor, the bowstring is woven from the tail hair of the Valar horses, and the three silver arrows are used in conjunction with the bow," Moreda explained.

"This bow originally had twelve silver arrows. When we were traveling east through the Misty Mountains, we used one silver arrow to kill the Orc chief who was blocking our way. In the east, we used another silver arrow to kill a tyrannical Eastern King. Later, in dealing with the many invasions of Mordor, we used seven more silver arrows. Now, only these three remain."

"With silver arrows and a golden bow, you can hit the target every time without aiming. Moreover, you can shoot very far. If your will is strong enough, you can hit the target even from a thousand miles away."

Dui's eyes lit up when he heard Moreda's introduction.

This is simply a divine weapon for long-range attacks, and like a causal artifact, it can hit the target every time.

The silver arrow was incredibly fast, even faster than the wind, and was impossible for the naked eye to detect. By the time one reacted, the arrow had already struck.

It's a pity that the arrows couldn't harm Sauron, otherwise he would have shot an arrow directly at Mordor right now.

Moreover, in addition to the three silver arrows, the golden bow can also use other ordinary arrows. Although it cannot kill a person from a thousand miles away like the silver arrows, it is still accurate every time.

After accepting Morita's gift, Dui reciprocated by giving them two sapphire brooches in return.

The sapphire brooch is a key to the portal. In times of crisis, a gentle tap three times will activate the key, instantly teleporting the person away to Eisengard.

The two blue-robed wizards were also very pleased with Dui's gift, after all, it was something that could save their lives.

Dui did not linger there. After bidding farewell to the two blue-robed wizards, he headed further east.

We are preparing to arrive in Hildorien before the New Year.

As for the two blue-robed wizards, Moreda and Romisdanu, they continued to deal with Sauron and his forces in the Far East.

Recently, the Dongyi tribes, who have been loyal to Sauron, seem to have received orders from Mordor and have begun to mobilize extensively, showing signs of wanting to reclaim the entire Dongyi region in one fell swoop.

So the two blue-robed wizards are preparing to organize a resistance force to thwart Mordor's plot.
