Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 290 The Arrival of the Elves
The banquet hall was mainly used to gather important guests.

Besides Gandalf, Bilbo, and their companions, Legolas, representing the Elvenking Thranduil, arrived at the wedding with a group of elves and gifts.

Thorin Oakenshield, the Dwarf King of Lonely Mountain, sent his dwarves, led by his heir Felix, to celebrate, and Lord Balin of Moria also came in person.

Lord Bard of Vale and Lord Beorn of Anduin Valley also came in person.

Besides Bilbo, the Shire's hobbits also include his cousin Drogon Baggins (Frodo's father), Brandyde, the patriarch of House Took, the mayor of Shire, and other hobbits.

In the Far East, the blue-robed wizard Moreda also came to participate. Only Romisdanu, who had to guard the Far East to prevent the Sauron's power from taking advantage of the situation, sent Moreda with his gifts.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Dovenian Elf Manor in the Far East Rune Inland Sea region also came to participate in person.

In addition to these, King Sengir of Rohan and Denether II, son of the Regent of Gondor, also came to offer their congratulations on behalf of the Regent of Gondor.

The atmosphere inside the banquet hall was equally lively.

Gandalf in grey, Rhidalus in brown, and Moredar in blue rarely gathered together, smoking their pipes and discussing the situation in Middle-earth.

The dwarves gathered together and drank heavily, but instead of bursting into laughter, their laughter echoed throughout the banquet hall, drawing the attention of other guests.

The hobbits were rather shy, gathering together and looking around at the banquet hall's decor, as well as the races and identities of the guests.

Bilbo, on the other hand, was very relaxed, as if he were at home. He took the initiative to introduce the hobbits to his familiar friends, such as dwarves and elves, and even helped maintain the banquet.

As for the groom, Dui, he exchanged pleasantries with each of the arriving guests.

Prince Denesser II, the regent, was utterly astonished and amazed as he looked around, as if he had entered a magical kingdom.

On the surrounding walls hang animated portraits, celebrating just like them and able to communicate with people outside.

There's even a portrait of a person who's drinking with a group of dwarves in a banquet hall, only to end up drinking himself into oblivion, prompting the dwarves to cheer in victory.

The banquet hall's dome seemed nonexistent, filled with countless pink clouds, continuously showering down golden rain and red petals.

On the surrounding walls, there are many reliefs depicting a group of adorable children with wings flying out of the walls, flapping their tiny wings, flying around in the air, holding long horns, trumpets, harps and other musical instruments, singing in their childish voices and playing melodious tunes.

But these children were clearly not very good-tempered. When the dwarves deliberately teased them, saying their music was awful, they flew down and chased after them, hitting the dwarves on the head with their instruments.

This immediately caused the dwarf companions around to burst into laughter, and the other guests couldn't help but chuckle as well.

King Denesse II was both surprised and amazed, and couldn't help but laugh. He was filled with shock, as if he were dreaming.

He was particularly struck by the steak on the plate in front of him. According to the castle servants, it was made with dragon meat. It was said that ten dragons were used at the wedding banquet for all the guests and subjects to enjoy together.

Such a grand gesture greatly shocked King Denethor II. He had personally witnessed the enormous size and terrifying power of the dragon during the crisis in Gondor, but he never expected it to become food here, and that it would be available to everyone.

Having never eaten dragon meat before, he couldn't wait to try the dragon steak. After eating it, he felt as if he had eaten something very nourishing, and his face turned completely red.

As time passed, all the guests eagerly awaited the arrival of the bride.

Finally, before sunset, the eastern horizon welcomed the person we had been waiting for.

With the Thunderbird Sorondo leading the way, a flying chariot pulled by twelve winged horses was flying towards the castle.

Meanwhile, on either side of the flying chariot, dozens of winged horses carrying elven knights, each holding a silver-white elven banner, escorted it. Behind the chariot, twelve warriors from the Black Barbarian Lands rode winged eagle-headed horses to provide backup.

When the flying carriage arrived, the guests inside the castle came out to greet it.

Everyone stared in amazement at the beautiful Pegasus in the sky, craning their necks to look up at the elves on them and the bride.

The people of Hogsmeade and Brie, in particular, were filled with anticipation, for they all knew that their soon-to-be lord's wife was a very beautiful elven princess.

They felt extremely honored and proud that their lord had married such a noble and beautiful elf lady.

The Thunderbird Thorondo broke away from the wedding procession, letting out a loud cry, circling once above the castle, and releasing a ball of blue lightning into the sky.

The lightning exploded like fireworks, scattering into countless sparks of electricity, leaving everyone below in shock.

Then, as if it had completed its mission, the Thunderbird returned to its nest.

The flying carriage, pulled by a winged horse, landed outside the castle gates and then drove along the white avenue into the castle, heading towards the main building.

Along the way, the people of Hogsmeade and Brie watched in amazement as the handsome elven knights and the golden carriages they guarded within them.

Everyone cheered and threw flowers at the carriage to welcome the future lady of the lord.

The wedding procession and carriages were enveloped in a shower of flowers. The elven knights dutifully guarded the carriage in the middle, but did not stop the surrounding crowd from getting their hands on the flowers.

The carriage traveled all the way to the end of the white avenue and stopped in front of the main banquet hall.

The two leading elven knights were dressed in exquisite and elegant elven robes and wore silver crowns, exuding a noble, elegant, and heroic air.

They were Alwen's two elder brothers, Elohir and Elladan.

Dui took the initiative to come down and happily gave each of them a hug, saying, "I'm so glad to see you two here!"

Elohir and Elladan smiled, their demeanor more composed than usual, and said, "Today is Alwen's wedding, so of course we have to personally escort her here, after all, she is our only sister."

The carriage door opened, and the first to step out were Lord and Lady Lorryne—Clerborn and Galadriel.

When they saw Lady Galadriel, everyone present was stunned. Her holy radiance and queenly aura made everyone feel ashamed and dared not look directly at her.

Even the dwarves, who have always had disagreements with the elves, could not resist Galadriel's charm.

Next up was the Golden Flower Lord, Glorfindel, who was equally radiant and breathtaking.

After that, dozens more elves emerged. They were all relatives of Arwen, including Sindar elves, Noldor elves, and Tyree elves.

Finally, Elrond, arm in arm with Arwen, stepped out of the carriage.

Elrond was dressed in his finest attire, wearing a blue elven robe and a silver crown, resembling a gentle and wise king.

Alvin, on the other hand, was even more stunning, wearing a gorgeous and elegant white fairy dress embroidered with exquisite patterns and inlaid with many dazzling jewels, making her look as if she were adorned with countless stars.

Her gaze met Dui's instantly, and then she revealed a gentle and bright smile, her eyes seemingly filled with starlight.
