Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 266 Thunderbird Concept
After leaving the treasury, Dui came to the garden.

Dui's garden is filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants.

King's Herb grows in abundance and has the ability to heal wounds, making it a life-saving medicine for the people of Hogsmeade at the foot of the mountain.

Whenever someone falls ill, they will come up the mountain to ask for the King's Herb.

Dui never refused this, and even tried to transplant the King's Herb to the foot of the mountain so that the people could harvest and grow it themselves.

However, it is clear that this magical herb has extremely demanding growing conditions.

They can only survive in natural environments with abundant magical energy and suitable temperatures.

At the top of Wind and Cloud Peak, not only does the castle itself possess magic, but every brick and stone is also engraved with runes.

It is also inhabited by magical creatures such as dragons, eagles, basilisks, and giant spiders, forming magical fields.

More importantly, there are also two divine trees, the Sacred White Tree and the Maurice Tree.

In particular, the Holy White Tree is a descendant of the third-generation Holy White Tree, Ningluos, and possesses extraordinary magic, making the environment of Fengyun Peak vibrant with life.

Therefore, whether it is the King's Grass or other rare and exotic plants with extremely demanding growing conditions, they can all thrive on Fengyun Peak.

In Dui's garden, besides the ubiquitous King Grass, there is also the ever-blooming Elano, a small golden star-shaped flower; and the white Everlasting Flower, and the Entva Flower, which grows in a circle and blooms in eight colors...

The fragrance of various flowers mingled together and drifted throughout the castle in the gentle breeze.

It invigorates everyone who smells it, leaving them completely captivated.

The garden is beautiful today, mostly thanks to Alvin's care. She even draws water from the fountain pool in Galadriel's gardens to water the White Tree, the Mauron Tree, and the flowers and plants in the garden.

This is what makes the garden so vibrant and beautiful, rivaling even the gardens of Galadriel.

Dui walked through the garden and came to the mulberry tree.

The Maurice Tree is very tall, much taller than the nearby Sacred White Tree, reaching over a hundred meters in height.

The massive tree trunk is over ten meters in diameter and requires twenty or thirty adults to encircle it.

It is the tallest thing on the entire Fengyun Peak, apart from Amonsur Tower.

There is a spiral staircase on the tree trunk that leads to a platform on the tree.

Each branch extending from the mulberry tree has been transformed into a platform paved with white marble, and each platform is adorned with pavilions and towers.

Dui walked up the spiral staircase to the platform in the tree. The golden leaves around him shimmered in the breeze and sunlight, turning the entire Fengyunding Peak golden.

Even the low-lying clouds in the sky were tinged with color, making Fengyun Peak appear golden and sacred.

Dui’s palace was also built on the Maurice tree. In his spare time, Dui would come here to rest, listen to the rustling of the leaves, feel the breeze on his face, and look down at the mountains below and beyond.

However, Dui did not come here to rest this time; he went straight to the highest point of the Mawlong Tree.

There was a large platform there, and on the platform was a huge bird's nest.

And the giant eagle Zorondo lives in this nest.

This nest was originally the nest of the King of Eagles, but as Zorondo's size surpassed that of the King of Eagles, it could no longer fit into the nest.

So Zorodo later expanded the nest, turning it into an even larger, giant nest.

At this moment, Zorodo was huddled in the bird's nest. One of his wings was frostbitten and he was temporarily unable to fly. Smaug helped him carry him into the bird's nest.

Upon seeing Dui's arrival, Zorondo let out an affectionate cry and flapped his enormous wings, attempting to stand up.

"Alright, stop moving around. You're injured now. I've brought you some food." Dui stopped the guy from moving and then poured out a dragon corpse from the spatial box.

In the Battle of Eisengard, Zorondo was the most seriously injured, so Dui simply rewarded him with dragon meat.

Anyway, he doesn't have much else, but he has so much dragon meat that he can't fit it all in his pocket.

This is a good opportunity to help Zoro recover.

When Zorondo saw the dragon's corpse, his eyes lit up. He immediately used his sharp beak to tear open the dragon's body and devour it.

Dui looked at Zorondo with gentle eyes. Of all his pets, Smaug and Zorondo were the ones he valued the most.

The reason they chose Smaug was primarily because of his strength, which could enhance their own foundation.

Zorodo, on the other hand, was raised from a young age, transforming from an abandoned, dying eaglet into a giant eagle that now reigns supreme in the skies.

And if we're talking about the most loyal, it's Zorodo.

He was even the only one among all the pets that wasn't bound by a magical contract.

Because Dui believed that Zorondo would never betray him.

Just like when facing the Frost Dragon this time, after seeing the fake Dui being eaten by the Frost Dragon, Zorodo mistakenly thought he was dead, so he recklessly attacked the Frost Dragon, which resulted in one of his wings being frostbitten.

However, with Smaug consuming the dragon crystal, his power will become even greater.

The difference in strength between Zorodo and Smaug became even more pronounced.

Dui didn't care about Zorondo's strength; he could support Zorondo anyway, and he didn't expect him to become any more powerful.

But Zorondo clearly didn't think that way. After being injured, he became dejected and even felt that he had dragged his master down. He became anxious and worried that his master would give up on him because of this.

After all, Smaug the dragon was the biggest help in this battle, Helbo the basilisk also performed brilliantly, and Cerberus the three-headed wolf and Aslan the griffin, although not particularly strong, were also very much loved by their master.

Even the less intelligent fire dragons contributed significantly to the battle, killing many demonic dragons.

He himself performed poorly, and even got injured in the end, losing his only outstanding ability to fly.

Zorondo's thoughts, of course, did not escape Dui's notice. Upon hearing Zorondo's inner thoughts, Dui felt both amused and heartbroken.

He sensed a family drama unfolding in Zorondo's mind:

Smaug is the outstanding eldest brother, the basilisk is the bright third brother, and the three-headed wolf and the griffin are the lively youngest brothers.

Only the unremarkable second-in-command, Zoro, was overlooked and wallowed in self-pity.

And he, the master, was the head of the household who couldn't treat everyone equally.

Dui was amused by his own wild imagination.

However, seeing Zorondo's dejected appearance, Dui also seriously considered Zorondo's future.

Aside from their intelligence, the giant eagles are essentially enlarged versions of eagles, unlike dragons which can breathe fire or basilisks which possess magical talents like the Eye of Death.

Their massive size gives them a size advantage when facing humans, orcs, and even elves, allowing them to inflict some damage.

However, when facing giant dragons or even sub-dragons, the advantage of size disappears.

Therefore, considering that during previous magical transformations, they successfully transformed into magical creatures such as firebirds and giant bears, as well as the plan for Animagus to evolve into a phoenix.

He thought that perhaps he could use magical transformation to take Zorondo a step further and turn him into an even more powerful magical creature.

As he pondered how to transform and evolve, the image of the Thunderbird automatically popped into his mind.

In the magical world, the Thunderbird is a rare and powerful magical creature that is no less than the Phoenix.

The Thunderbird resembles a giant eagle, can sense supernatural dangers, and can create powerful storms and unleash lightning attacks.

Magizoologist Newt Scamander once rescued a male ptarmigan named Frank from illegal traffickers in Egypt and planned to return it to its natural habitat in Arizona.

However, Credence the Obscurial caused a serious magical incident in New York City, which exposed the wizarding world to the eyes of ordinary people.

To make ordinary New Yorkers forget the magical events, Newt unleashed the Thunderbird, which created a torrential downpour that covered the entire city. The rainwater, mixed with the venom of the Winged Demon, successfully erased the memories of ordinary people.

If we're talking about what would be the most suitable transformation for the giant eagle Zorodo, Dui thinks the Thunderbird is the obvious choice.

If Zorodo possessed the Thunderbird's ability to create storms and unleash lightning, his strength would undoubtedly undergo a dramatic transformation.

The only problem is that Dui only has a basic understanding of the Thunderbird and is completely unaware of its magic cycle system.

Finding the Thunderbird's magic cycle system is as likely as winning the lottery.

"Ah, if only we had a Thunderbird prototype! Even just a drawing would be great!" Dui sighed.

However, despite the slim chances, Dui did not intend to give up.

So he told Zorodo about the idea to see if he was willing.

Upon hearing Dui's idea, Zorodo regained his energy. Eager to become stronger, he wished he could immediately transform into the Thunderbird Dui spoke of, thereby commanding the wind and rain, unleashing lightning, and becoming the true King of the Sky.

Well, seeing that Zoro didn't hesitate at all, Dui had no choice but to include this matter in his future plans.

He thought he could ask Gandalf for help later.

After all, they had designed the Phoenix's magic cycle system together, which made his Animagus evolution feasible.

This time, in designing the Thunderbird's magic cycle system, we can once again bring in Gandalf, and we can also consult Elrond.

However, this matter is still some time away and cannot be rushed.

So Dui put it in his memory memo and refocused his attention on his elixir of immortality.

In the potions room,

After simmering over low heat for 24 hours, the liquid in the pot turned into a deep red, almost black liquid.

Dui took out three pink pearls and ground them into powder in a mortar.

Then add it to the crucible and stir clockwise four times.

These pearls are not ordinary pearls, but rather the tears of Oarni, the mermaid of this world.

These pearls were a gift from the shipbuilder Cildan, who was acquainted with the Oarni (mermaids) who lived in the sea, and thus was able to obtain pearls formed from their tears.

Originally, the potion ingredient for this step was the scales of the Serk mermaid, but Dui happened to find a substitute, namely the pearls formed from the tears of mermaids in Middle-earth.

After adding the pearl powder, Dui added the dragon blood, chanted a spell, and stirred it clockwise seven times. Then he continued to simmer it over low heat for 24 hours.

Another day passed, and Dui fished the Philosopher's Stone out of the pot.

The magic stone remained unchanged and wasn't even hot to the touch.

He put away the magic stone and then removed the cauldron from the fire to cool it.

At this point, the liquid in the crucible turned bright red.

During this time, Dui kept stirring to prevent the potion from separating into layers, and after it had completely cooled, he poured it into a separatory funnel and let it stand for one hour.

The lower layer of liquid was then extracted and poured back into the pure gold crucible.

Then add the dragon bone marrow, reheat, and stir constantly until boiling.

Then immediately turn off the engine and let it cool.

The potion in the pot turned a beautiful ruby ​​red.

Thus, the elixir of immortality was completed.
