Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 296 Burning Down the Demon Cave
More precisely, bloodline magic should be called bloodline transplantation magic, which involves fusing the bloodline of a magical creature with one's own to gain a certain ability.

Phantasm, disguise Magus, the charm of the Werewolf, her divination talent, and the Blood Curse, as well as the Dumbledore family's ability to summon the Phoenix, all originate from blood magic.

There is even a legend in the magical world that wizards were born from ancient humans transplanting the blood of magical creatures or combining with humanoid magical creatures such as merfolk, thereby gaining the ability to cast spells.

This also explains why wizards have various unique magical talents, such as the Slytherin family having Parsleyan speech, the Dumbledore family having a close connection with the phoenix, the Trelawney family having a talent for divination, and various other magical abilities such as affinity with animals and plants.

Of course, this idea was scoffed at by pure-blood families in the magical world, who considered it absurd, and it was not accepted by most people.

But now that this bloodline magic exists, this legend may not be entirely unfounded.

What surprised Dui even more was that with this bloodline magic, he could not only fuse with other bloodlines and gain the abilities of other races, but also allow ordinary people to fuse with the bloodlines of magical creatures, thereby gaining the ability to cast spells.

In that case, he could create a wizarding race that was uniquely his own in Middle-earth!

Dui got excited when he thought about it.

Everyone has a sense of belonging. Although he has two cities and tens of thousands of people, these people are all ordinary people. As a wizard, he naturally has a barrier between himself and ordinary people.

Although he had a good relationship with the elves, they were ultimately not of the same race, so it was impossible for him to fully integrate into the elves and become one of them.

As for wizards like Gandalf and Redagast, although they are called wizards, they are essentially Maiar, secondary gods.

Therefore, Dui belongs neither to ordinary humans, nor elves, nor to "wizards" like Gandalf.

He was now able to create a race of his own, which filled him with joy.

As Dui's closest lover, Alwen sensed Dui's joy emanating from within and asked softly, somewhat puzzled, "Dui, is there something that makes you happy?"

Dui snapped out of his reverie, looked at Alvin's concerned expression, and gave her a bright smile as he squeezed her hand. "I just had an unexpected discovery, a huge surprise that could change the course of events in Central Continent!"

Although Alvin was unaware of the situation, he was happy for Dui because he saw him so happy.

After the banquet, Dui and Alwen stayed overnight at the palace.

The next day, Exelian II buried the white tree seed that Dui had given him at the base of the withered white tree, hoping it would take root and sprout, bringing new life to Gondor.

However, it is clear that this dream is unlikely to be realized in his lifetime.

During his death and even during the reign of his son, Dinesher II, the seed of the sacred white tree never sprouted, much to their disappointment, who thought it would never germinate.

It wasn't until Sauron was destroyed and Gondor welcomed a new king that this seed, buried in the ground for nearly a hundred years, was reawakened, sprouted, and took root.

Of course, that happened a long time later, so let's leave it at that.

Dui and Alwen witnessed the planting of the seed. They could both feel that the seed was dormant and showed no signs of waking up even when watered with fountain water.

However, neither of them revealed their true intentions, and afterwards, accompanied by King Dineseer II, they toured various buildings and sights in the royal city.

They stayed in Minas Tirith for a week before formally bidding farewell to Regent Exelian II and departing again in their carriage, heading north along the main road.

After crossing the plains of Gondor, we arrived at the city of Eusgilias on the banks of the Anduin River.

This was once the earliest capital of Gondor, straddling the Anduin River. A year ago, the army of Mordor launched a surprise attack on Othgiliath from Minas Morgul Fortress and marched on the capital of Gondor.

It wasn't until Gandalf and the Kingdom of Rohan came to their aid that Mordor's army was defeated and the western city of Eustriath was recaptured.

However, the eastern district on the east bank of the Anduin River could not be defended due to the Gondorian army's insufficient strength, and they had to regretfully give up.

A year has passed, and the city of Eusgilias still bears the marks of war, though the bridge spanning the river has been repaired.

As for why the bridge was repaired, it was to give Mordor the opportunity to cross the bridge and attack the West District.

Besides Gondor's unwillingness to give up the eastern district, the greater pressure from the Mordor army's attack was focused on Osgiliath.

The city of Eusgilias was garrisoned by Gondorian troops. Dui and Arwen's arrival was not hindered, and the general guarding the city personally invited them to be his guests.

Dui successfully checked in here and obtained the crafting techniques for the Vanishing Cabinet.

After checking in, I was preparing to leave and continue north to Rohan.

They happened to encounter a force of nearly a thousand Orcs who came from Minas Morgul and were trying to harass Osgilias.

The Gondorian garrison was well-trained and skilled at repelling these orks, a situation that clearly occurred frequently here.

But when Dui saw these Oc, he suddenly had an idea.

"Alwen, wait for me here. I'm going somewhere to deliver a big gift to these Orks," Dui whispered to Alwen.

Alwen did not stop Dui, nor did she ask him where he was going. She simply said softly, "Then be careful and remember not to put yourself in danger."

Dui nodded and kissed his forehead. "I know, I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, he transformed into a phoenix and vanished in a flash of fire.

When they reappeared, they were already above the Minas Mogul Fortress.

Minas Morgul is located in the Shadow Mountains and is a stronghold at the Chiris-Ugog Pass leading to Mordor. Originally named Minas Isil, it was the sister city of Minas Tirith. After being conquered by Sauron's forces, it was renamed Minas Morgul.

Dui's phoenix form appeared above Minas Morgul, immediately attracting the attention of the Mordor soldiers in the fortress.

They all shot arrows at the phoenix, trying to shoot it down.

Dui transformed back into human form, hovering in the air with his flight cloak, and without a word, unleashed a raging fireball towards the fortress.

This time, Dui had no intention of controlling the Fiery Blaze at all; with a destructive mindset, he recklessly set fires everywhere.

Uncontrolled Fiendfire, like a tiger breaking free of its cage, spread rampantly, constantly devouring the Mordor soldiers in the fortress.

In an instant, screams of agony filled the air.

The Fiery Flame grew longer and fiercer, transforming into fire dragons, flame demons, serpent monsters, and other forms, burning everything flammable, and even attempting to turn against Dui.

Du Yi snorted coldly and directly repelled the fierce fire that wanted to devour its master.

Then his gaze fell upon the highest tower of Minas Morgul, and the Ringwraiths hidden inside, exposed by the Thunder Explosion spell that had destroyed the tower.

As a forward outpost of Mordor, Minas Morgul holds a strategically important position, so it's not surprising that a Ringwraith is stationed there.

The exposed Ringwraiths treated Dui as a formidable enemy, daring not to confront him directly and instead retreating into the Netherworld.

After all, two Ringwraiths had already been killed by Dui, and the Ringwraiths had long harbored a psychological fear of him.

However, Dui's purpose this time was not the Ringwraiths; after completing the sign-in, he immediately teleported away.

The raging flames left only to wreak havoc on Minas Morgul, devouring tens of thousands of Mordor soldiers in the city and turning them to ashes, and the fire continued to spread to the surrounding areas.

With a rumble, pitch-black clouds rapidly spread from the center of Mordor, covering Minas Morgul in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, ominous black rain fell, exuding the smell of sulfur and acid.

The originally fierce flames quickly weakened and gradually shrunk and went out under the drenching of the black rain.

The surviving Mordor soldiers were not spared either; they were corroded and melted away one by one, dying a painful and gruesome death.

Minas Morgul instantly turned into a wasteland, with even the buildings being continuously corroded and collapsed.
