Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 83 Return to the Valley
"We learned from Beorn that orcs have been gathering in Dol Guldur recently, so we are going there to investigate," Gandalf explained.

Hearing Gandalf's words, Daragast showed a lingering fear and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Don't go!"

"I felt an extremely powerful dark force enveloping me there, and even I was frightened. Now that force has spread to the Great Green Forest, countless dark creatures have been attracted to it, and it has become even more dangerous!"

"Then we must go!" Gandalf said firmly, "Darkness has appeared again. We must know its true face so that the people of Middle-earth can wake up and guard against the darkness's invasion again."

"Besides, it's not like I'm unprepared. Don't I have helpers?"

"You and Duyle? No, no, no, this is too dangerous!" Daregast shook his head frantically, "You have no idea how terrifying that dark force is. Even if you two join forces, you are no match for it!"

"Of course we are not the only ones." Gandalf said with a smile, "We are here to ask for your help."

"Me? No, no, I can't. Gandalf, you know me. I can't fight at all. Besides, I'm not going to boost their morale and destroy my own prestige. Even if the three of us join forces, we may not be able to get out of there safely!"

Daregast shook his head, his face full of disapproval.

"It is not wise to walk into a trap when you know it is a trap, Gandalf."

"Don't be so quick to refuse, my old friend," Gandalf advised. "In fact, Duir shares your opinion, so we plan to find more allies and conquer Dol Guldur together."

"Allies? Who are the allies?" Daregast asked puzzledly.

Gandalf looked at Due.

Dewi nodded, stood up and walked towards the fireplace.

"Darigast, may I borrow your fireplace?"

"Borrow the fireplace?" Daregast was even more puzzled, but he nodded. "Please."

Under Gandalf's mysterious smile, Daregast watched Doir waving his wand and muttering to the fireplace.

"Alright," Dui put away his wand, took out a glass bottle filled with glitter powder, and said to the two with a smile, "Time is urgent, we should set off!"

Gandalf stood up first and took a handful of Floo powder from the bottle. Then he walked to the fireplace and threw it into the fire. The flames instantly turned green.

"Rivendell!"

Gandalf shouted as he stepped into the green flames.

The next second, the green fire swallowed Gandalf directly and disappeared with him in an instant.

Darrigaster stared at the scene with wide eyes, ran over quickly, searched carefully up and down, and then turned to look at Dui.

"Where's Gandalf? Where's he gone?"

"Didn't you hear that? Rivendell." Dui replied with a smile and handed the bottle to him.

"Grab a handful."

"Remember to call out the location name clearly when you throw it at your feet, otherwise it will easily be teleported to another fireplace."

Darraghast grabbed a handful of Floo powder and looked at the shimmering powder in his hand in amazement.

If Dui hadn't stopped him in time, he would have put it in his mouth to taste it.

Finally, under Dewi's guidance, he took the Floo powder and walked to the fireplace, threw the Floo powder at his feet, and called out Rivendell's name.

After watching Darrigaster disappear in the flames, Dui followed him into the fireplace and threw a handful of Floo powder.

"Rivendell!"

The world was spinning around him, and during the transmission, Dewi even caught sight of the fireplace window of Beorn's house and vaguely saw Beorn's tall figure in the living room.

Before he could finish his thought, his feet touched the ground again.

"Ptooey... All cleaned up!" Dui spat out the ash in his mouth and immediately cast a cleansing spell on himself. The Floo Powder's teleportation was very stable and convenient; the only drawback was that he always ended up covered in ash and dirt after each teleportation.

Outside the fireplace stood Gandalf, Daregast, and Elrond, who had been waiting for them.

"Duir, clean up Daregast and me too," Gandalf said with a smile, "It is very rude to appear before Lord Elrond in such a dirty state!"

Upon hearing this, Dui waved his wand and cleaned up him and the somewhat excited Daregast.

Then he nodded to Elrond, who was smiling.

"Lord Elrond, long time no see."

"Welcome to Rivendell again, Wizard Doile." Elrond had an elegant and noble demeanor, and a gentle smile. "Time flies by. It seems like only yesterday that you were apart. It's such a pleasant surprise to meet you again today."

"I've heard from Gandalf that you came from Mirkwood. You're thousands of miles away, yet you're here in a flash. Wizard Duir, your magic truly amazes me!"

"Lord Elrond praised me!"

After some pleasantries, everyone started to get down to business.

Gandalf explained his purpose to Elrond and told him about the current situation in Dol Guldur.

Daregast also provided additional evidence.

After hearing the news provided by Gandalf and Daregast, Elrond's expression also became serious and solemn.

He was not as stubborn and prejudiced against Gandalf as Saruman, so he believed Gandalf's words and immediately accepted the invitation to go to Dol Guldur together.

But before setting off, he hesitated and asked, "This matter is of great importance. Do we need to send a message to Lady Galadriel and Saruman?"

Especially since Saruman is the leader of the White Council, if it is not explained, Saruman will probably be dissatisfied.

Gandalf pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Of course we need to send them a message."

"But the journey is long, and Saruman doesn't have Floo powder like us. It's normal that he won't receive the letter until we arrive in Dol Guldur, right?" Gandalf said with a deliberate smile in an innocent tone.

Elrond had no choice but to agree after hearing this.

He knew that Saruman and Gandalf had different personalities. At the last White Council, Saruman rejected the request to go to Dol Guldur to investigate. He and Galadriel were reluctant to oppose Saruman's decision, but they actually tended to agree with Gandalf's point of view.

Not to mention that as the owner of the Three Rings of the Elven Kingdom, he naturally has a closer relationship with Galadriel and Gandalf.

Dui also made suggestions:

"Lord Elrond, there are not only a large number of Orcs gathered in Dol Gudu, but also Ringwraiths are lurking there, and even their master may be hiding there.

As a precaution, could you please invite more people, such as Lord Glorfindel of Rivendell, to guard against a more powerful enemy?"

"I can't make the decision for Glorfindel. This matter requires his opinion."

Elrond did not agree immediately.

As an elf who was reborn and sent to Middle-earth by the Valar, Glorfindel has a very special status. Even Elrond, the lord of Rivendell, respects him very much.

To everyone's delight, Glorfindel finally accepted the invitation and decided to go to Dol Guldur together to destroy the darkness.

Glorfindel's joining made everyone more confident about this mission.

After everyone arrived, Dui began to distribute Floo powder to everyone and explained how to use it.

"Darigast's cabin!"

Following the rising green flames and the sounds.

Everyone disappeared from the fireplace one after another and was transported to Daregast's wooden house in the Mirkwood.
