Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 303 Library

In a separate room, a large cauldron sits over a blazing fire, its potion boiling continuously.

Dui extinguished the fire and waited for it to cool completely before pouring two large buckets of dragon blood into it and stirring it continuously.

The dragon blood reacted violently as it fused with the potion in the pot, becoming scalding hot and bubbling, radiating intense heat like red magma.

It makes one wonder if a pig would be cooked and melted instantly if it fell in.

Looking at the scalding hot potion in the cauldron, Mayor Luke and Lucky, who were waiting nearby, couldn't help but swallow hard, cold sweat pouring down their backs.

Although the lord had already shown them the images and made ample preparations.

But now that I'm actually facing it, it's terrifying enough.

"Alright, you two take off your clothes and get into the pot together now," Dui said.

This time, he specifically changed to a larger pot, big enough for two people to enter together.

Upon hearing Dui's words, the two exchanged glances, then took a deep breath and, with an air of resignation, began to undress.

Dui had no interest in watching the two old men naked and turned his head away in another direction.

If the clothes weren't made of materials like cotton and linen, adding them to potions could easily cause problems, even leading to potion failure or turning into poison, he wouldn't want to go through all that trouble.

The two quickly took off their clothes, went to the boiling pot together, stepped onto high stools, gritted their teeth and jumped into the pot at the same time.

With two thuds, most of their bodies were submerged in the potion, leaving only their heads outside.

Both of them instantly changed color, revealing expressions of pain, as if they had fallen into lava and were about to be boiled alive.

Luke could still grit his teeth and let out a painful growl.

But Mayor Larch of Britt opened his mouth and let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered, the sound echoing throughout the empty room and even reaching outside.

Edward, the busy butler in the castle, immediately revealed a gloating smile upon hearing this, feeling a sense of pleasure that others were finally experiencing the same suffering he had endured.

Meanwhile, Alvin, who was watering the flowers in the garden, heard the screams thanks to her keen hearing. She paused for a moment, shook her head, and continued watering.

She was amazed by this method of giving ordinary people magical abilities, and knowing that her husband was training more wizards, she wholeheartedly agreed.

And she silently continued to collect more potion ingredients for Dui, supporting him from behind the scenes.

Returning our attention to the room where Dui was,
Inside the cauldron, Luke endured the agonizing potion, while Lucky screamed and tried to escape. The scalding potion not only felt like it was melting them, but it also seeped into their bodies through their pores, taking over their blood vessels, flowing to their hearts, and penetrating deep into their bone marrow...

The scorching heat felt like it was burning their internal organs, and countless streams of black blood were constantly being squeezed out of their bodies, gushing out from their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and pores, causing them immense pain.

Seeing that Lucky still had so much energy to try to escape, Dui waved his wand and conjured a wooden mallet out of thin air. Like whack-a-mole, he knocked Lucky back into the pot and continued cooking.

As time passed, the two people in the pot were completely enveloped in a thick cocoon of blood and fell silent.

The two absorbed all the potion, leaving only bloodstains and diluted liquid.

Finally, the two broke free of the blood cocoon and emerged from it, panting for fresh air.

"I... I've become younger?!" Lucky looked at his skin in surprise and touched it in disbelief.

Luke, who was almost sixty years old, used to have a face full of wrinkles and age spots, but now he had not only become stronger, but his wrinkles had also decreased, making him look twenty years younger, like a middle-aged man in his forties. Luke, who was originally middle-aged, also looked much younger, appearing to be only in his early thirties.

The two of them were so surprised and delighted in the pot, looking at themselves and then at each other, completely oblivious to the fact that they were naked.

But Dui couldn't bear to see this strange scene. He immediately waved his hand and cast a cleansing spell, cleaning all the wastewater stains off their bodies and the pot. Then he threw the clothes they had taken off outside into the pot.

"Alright, stop standing around in the pot, get dressed and come out first."

"Huh? Ouch!" The two quickly snapped out of their daze, grabbed their clothes, and haphazardly put them on, their faces still beaming with undisguised joy.

They never expected to gain such a huge reward this time; they actually became twenty years younger, which was a tremendous surprise.

After the two came out, Lucky immediately asked, "Sir, are we wizards now?"

Luke looked at Dui with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

Dui smiled and shook his head. As their hearts sank, he said, "Not yet. You don't have suitable wands yet, and you haven't learned magic. You can't be considered true wizards. At most, you can only be called quasi-wizards."

"Phew! Your words are terrifying, sir!" Lucky and Luke rolled their eyes inwardly. The lord's words were half-hearted, making them very anxious, and they almost thought they had failed.

Dui didn't tease the two of them. He took two wands out of his pocket and handed them to them.

"You can use these two wands for now. You can go to the library to find the standard spellbook, or ask the butler Edward for help. He mastered the basic spells earlier than you and can give you some pointers. If all else fails, you can also look at my portrait or come to me when I have time."

These two wands were made by Dui using branches of the Maurice tree, with the cores made from elf hair.

It's a kind of general-purpose wand that Dui made in his spare time. Now he's letting them use it to practice ordinary spells.

The two who received the wands were overjoyed and held them tightly, as if afraid of breaking them by accident.

At the same time, their gratitude towards Dui was beyond measure, and their loyalty became even more unwavering.

After receiving Dui's permission, the two couldn't wait to go to Dui's library.

Both of them were deeply impressed as they looked into the enormous room, which was like a library filled with a vast collection of books.

The room had been expanded by the Seamless Stretch Spell to the size of several football fields, and rows of neat bookshelves were piled high with books.

Many of these books were collected by Dui from all over Middle-earth, including books by elves, dwarves, Númenor, and even orcs and Mordor.

Secondly, Dui compiled all the knowledge and books about the Harry Potter magical world that he had obtained from signing in into a book and put it into this library.

It contains books and knowledge on spells, transfiguration, potions, astronomy, herbalism, runes, alchemy, and more.

Only the most dangerous black magic books, such as "The Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" and "Curses and Anti-Curses," were categorized and placed in one place, designated as a restricted area, which could only be entered and read by Dui himself or with permission.

Looking at the dazzling array of books, and some flying around in mid-air like birds, Luke and Lucky were both at a loss for words.

Then look at the golden desk facing the door, where a quill pen is writing rapidly on a blank book.

The two of them were like greenhorns, clueless about what books to look for and what to study.
