Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 311 The Vanishing Cabinet

As a tool for long-distance teleportation, the Vanishing Cabinet can travel a longer distance than Apparition, and it can even be said that there is no distance limit.

Moreover, it is more stable than the Door Key. Although the Door Key has a longer teleportation distance than Phantom Shift, it cannot teleport a large number of people or heavy items at the same time.

Unlike fireplaces, it doesn't require prior connection to the Floo Network, nor does it require Floo Powder for directional teleportation.

The biggest advantage of the Vanishing Cabinet compared to other magical teleportation methods is that it allows for a continuous flow of people through two Vanishing Cabinets, with no limit on the number of people.

It can be said that with the existence of the Vanishing Cabinet, a large number of people can be gathered and transported in a short period of time.

Therefore, Dui plans to first try to recreate the Vanishing Cabinet, then thoroughly understand its magical principles, and subsequently develop it further.

He then considered establishing Vanishing Cabinets between Brie and Hogsmeade, as well as with Eisengard, to completely integrate these places into one entity.

At that time, whether it's conveying government orders or, like the previous attack on Bri by the Corpse Demon, we can quickly provide assistance or evacuate.

Unlike now, where even the journey between Brie and Hogsmeade takes a day, let alone Eisengard, which is thousands of miles away.

As for the Floo network, due to the limited production of Floo powder, it is still not widespread and cannot become a common mode of transportation for wizards like it is in the wizarding world.

The production of Floo Powder has always been controlled by Dui, who used to make it all by himself.

But now that he has a group of wizards under his command, Dui is also considering selecting some people to establish a magic factory, specifically to produce Floo Powder.

With such a large production volume, it would be possible to build public fireplaces in places like Brie, Hogsmeade, and Eisengard, and sell Floo Powder to the public so that all the people in the territory could use Floo Powder.

Getting back to the main point, Dui cut a branch as thick as a bucket from the Maurice plant.

This branch is just a minor detail to the towering Maurice tree, having no impact whatsoever.

Dui processed the tortoise branches, cutting them into planks, sanding, measuring, and polishing them...

He then took out a mithril carving knife and began to carve mysterious patterns and runes on each piece of wood with great care, ensuring there were no mistakes.

By the time the carving was finished, a week had passed.

Dui assembled the carved wooden planks like a carpenter, creating a nearly three-meter-high obelisk-shaped wooden cabinet.

The bark of the Mauriceal tree is silvery-gray, but the wood inside is golden yellow, as if it were made of gold.

Even though the current wooden cabinets have a very simple design, they still exude a luxurious feel, with mysterious patterns and runes covering the outside of the cabinets.

After making one cabinet, Dui used the remaining wood to make another identical cabinet.

At this point, the vanishing cabinet was still only a semi-finished product and could not be used at all.

Using mithril, Dui began to draw dense runes inside the Vanishing Cabinet. Thousands of runes were intertwined, forming a mysterious array-like pattern.

After he finished drawing the runes on both vanishing cabinets, another month had passed.

Looking at the two Vanishing Cabinets in front of him, Dui couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Vanishing Cabinets are so expensive in the magical world.

Besides the fact that the production process has been lost, the complexity of the production process is probably also a problem.

It took him more than a month to build a pair of vanishing cabinets. Although the main reason was his lack of experience as a first-timer, the production was still quite difficult.

Dui placed the two vanishing cabinets back to back, then stood in front of one of the cabinets, inserted his wand into the lock, and began chanting a spell while continuously channeling magic.

As magic was infused into the Vanishing Cabinet, the runes on it lit up one by one, and the entire cabinet then exuded a mysterious aura, becoming extremely profound, as if some secret was hidden within.

After activating one of the vanishing cabinets, Dui went to the door of another vanishing cabinet and chanted the incantation to input magic power.

As this vanishing cabinet was also activated, a mysterious connection was created between the two vanishing cabinets, as if they were two sides of the same coin, radiating the same magical energy fluctuations.

After doing all this, Dui reached out and opened the double doors of the vanishing cabinet.

The cabinet was pitch black inside, and the runes that had been drawn on it had vanished. From the outside, the cabinet appeared to be no more than a meter deep.

But looking inside from the cabinet door, the back panel directly opposite the door turned into a bottomless, pitch-black passage. Even light couldn't penetrate that dark passage; it seemed to lead to an unknown place, or perhaps a black hole.

Dui smiled as he watched this scene.

This means that the vanishing cabinet has been successfully created.

He then opened another vanishing cabinet, which was equally bottomless, with a dark, unlit passage that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

The vanishing cabinet was successfully made, but Dui did not immediately try it himself.

He waved his hand and summoned a small snake, which entered one of the vanishing cabinets and crawled into the depths of the dark passage.

The little snake obeyed the snake's command, crawling into the disappearing cabinet and vanishing into the darkness.

The next moment, it crawled out from another vanished cabinet.

Initial results showed that teleportation between the two vanishing cabinets was safe. However, the cautious Dui still conducted several more tests, as he didn't want to encounter any accidents during his teleportation and end up being transported to another place or directly entering the spatial turbulence.

After all the tests were completed without any problems, Dui then stepped into the Vanishing Cabinet and headed towards the dark passage deep inside.

The next second, his vision went completely dark, as if he were swallowed by darkness, and all sound disappeared.

But before the feeling of unease could even arise, the light and sound returned completely.

He blinked and realized he was in another vanishing cabinet, facing the door.

Dui stepped out of the Vanishing Cabinet, both satisfied and surprised by its teleportation capabilities.

The teleportation via the Vanishing Cabinet is far superior to Apparition, FlooNet, and Portable Key; it completely eliminates the dizzying, uncomfortable feeling of being stuffed into a rubber tube.

In the blink of an eye, after a brief period of darkness, they appeared in another vanishing cabinet.

Even Dui did not sense any magical fluctuations from the teleportation.

It's as if you're simply walking through a door.

Moreover, Dui discovered that the way the Vanishing Cabinet was transported was very similar to the passage into Platform Nine and Three-Quarters; after passing through a dark area, it would appear in another place.

It is very likely that Platform 9¾ employed the magical principle of the Vanishing Cabinet.

After the vanishing cabinet was made, Dui began to consider how to place it.

In fact, because of magical transportation methods such as the Floo Network, Portkeys, and Apparition, the Vanishing Cabinet is not very useful.

This may also be why the Vanishing Cabinet was gradually phased out by the magical world, and even why its manufacturing process was lost.

After all, compared to the Vanishing Cabinet, which is complex to manufacture and expensive, Floo Powder from the Floo Network is very cheap and almost every wizard family can afford it. The Vanishing Cabinet can be used for short distances with Apparition and for long distances with Portkey. It's no wonder that the Vanishing Cabinet, an antique, has been phased out.

However, Dui did not think that the vanishing cabinet was useless.

Compared to FlooNet, Apparition, and Portal Key, the Vanishing Cabinet offers a more stable and comfortable teleportation process, and can transport a large number of people in a short time.

In this respect, it has an advantage over other transmission methods.

So Dui simply placed one of the two vanishing cabinets inside the castle, and took the other to Hildorion in the far east.

As the birthplace of humankind, Hildorion is not only a paradise on earth, but also blessed by the divine power of the creator god Ilúvatar.

Dui used that place as his backyard and his last refuge.

Although there is a key that can be used for teleportation, the key has a time limit, and it is not as convenient or comfortable as the disappearing cabinet.

With the Vanishing Cabinet in existence, traveling between Windrise Peak and Hildorion has become as convenient as visiting someone's home.
