Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 96 Flying on a Broomstick

Dewy gets along well with the Bud family.

Bud is hospitable and his children are innocent and kind.

Dui was also very generous. He took out some beautiful jewelry from his space bag and gave it to Bud's two children.

Three days had passed since Thorin and his companions and Gandalf left.

Dui happily welcomed his first flying broom in his life.

The broom handle is made of the hardest core of old willow tree. It is jade white with smooth lines.

Its interior is engraved with complex runes, and there is a faint magical power flowing through it.

The end of the broom is cut into countless neat branches from leftover material to ensure its streamlined shape and precise balance.

After the flying broom was completed, Dui couldn't wait to experience it.

He placed his broomstick at his feet, held out his hand, and shouted, "Get up!"

The broom rolled on the ground.

"Get up!" This time the tone became firm and could not be refused.

With a whoosh, the broom jumped from the ground and fell directly into Dui's hands.

Holding the flying broom, Dui's mouth corners quickly rose, and his excitement and sense of accomplishment were evident.

After making the flying broom, the first thing to do is of course to test its performance.

Dui couldn't wait to come to Bud's house, straddled the flying broom, and kicked his feet lightly.

The whole person was suddenly lifted up by the broom and slowly floated off the ground.

Under the buttocks, there is an invisible air cushion to support you, just like riding a bicycle, and you don’t have to worry about getting hurt.

The Bud family who followed out were stunned when they saw this scene.

After being shocked, Bud's little son was excited and eager to try it out. He wished he could ride it himself to experience it.

It was Dui’s first time flying in his life. He was so excited that he leaned forward and shot out like a rocket.

"Ahhh!" Dui was like a headless fly, flying around in the sky, sometimes soaring straight into the sky, sometimes almost hitting the roof, which was terrifying to watch.

The residents of Changhu Town were attracted by this scene and then shocked.

They recognized the man flying on the broom as a guest living in Bud's house.

But I didn't expect that it had such ability that it could fly!

The mayor, who was almost hit on the roof of his own house, widened his eyes and stretched his head to look out of the window, with annoyance in his eyes.

Although he is greedy and short-sighted, he still has some insight.

I only regret that I didn't invite such an extraordinary person in the first place, and instead let that fisherman Bud get the upper hand.

Dui, on his part, was completely unaware of the reactions of the residents of Long Lake Town. After getting familiar with the flying broom, he finally piloted it somewhat shakily and landed it back in front of Bud's house.

Looking at Bard's children with envy and longing on their faces, Dui smiled and promised them that he would take them to experience flying in the future.

After saying goodbye to Bud formally, he flew up into the sky on his broom and flew towards Lonely Mountain.

As for Bard's black arrow, Dui had thought about taking it away and using it to deal with the dragon Smaug.

But after thinking about it, he gave up.

Although the Black Arrow is the only weapon known in Middle-earth that can break dragon scales, it does not mean that it is the only thing that can deal with dragons.

Dui holds a divine spear, Aegros, in his hand, whose penetrating power is unmatched.

Gil-galad, the High King of the Noldor, used it to pierce through the hardest armor of Sauron, leaving a wound on his body.

Dui believed that his divine spear was no worse than the black arrow.

So the black arrow was left to Bard to see if he could still accomplish the feat of slaying the dragon.

The speed of a flying broomstick depends on the level of craftsmanship. Wizards in the magical world have various series of flying broomsticks, such as the Sweep, Comet, and Nimbus series, as well as the fastest, the Firebolt. Although Dui has acquired the crafting skills for flying broomsticks, he is only a novice, so the flying broomstick he makes is not even as fast as the slowest flying broomstick in the magical world.

But even so, with his flying broom, it only took him half a day to catch up with Thorin, Gandalf and others who had already set out for three days.

It is unknown what happened during these three days. Gandalf failed to persuade Thorin to give up his journey to Lonely Mountain, but instead continued to walk with them.

When Dewi was still just a small black dot in the distance, Gandalf had already spotted him and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Ahaha, our last member has finally caught up!"

Hearing Gandalf's words, everyone looked in the direction he was looking in confusion.

Then they saw a blurry figure in the distant sky approaching them quickly.

Soon, Dui's figure came into view.

"Duil!"

Everyone looked at Dui in disbelief as he flew over.

"Oh my god, am I still asleep? Why do I see Duyle flying on a broom?"

The dwarf Bombur rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"Everyone, I'm not too late, am I?"

Dui leaned forward slightly, slowly descended from mid-air, landed on the ground, and asked everyone with a smile.

"Welcome back, Doile." Gandalf happily went forward to give Doile a hug, then looked eagerly at the broom in his hand. "I didn't expect you to make a flying broom so quickly. How does it feel to fly?"

Seeing Gandalf eager to try, Dewi handed him the broom with amusement.

"It feels good, you can try it too."

Gandalf's eyes lit up instantly, and he took the broom with a happy smile on his face.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

After throwing the broom to Gandalf to toss around, Duee turned around and greeted everyone.

When Bilbo saw Dewi, he felt like he had found a backbone, but he felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

As an honest and trustworthy Hobbit, Bilbo did not know how to refuse. After being threatened by Thorin with the contract they had signed, even though he knew the dragon had awakened, Bilbo still agreed to take the risk to steal the Arkenstone for Thorin, so he followed the dwarves and left Lake Town first.

Of course, more importantly, Bilbo has confidence in the ring in his hand.

He thought that as long as he put on the ring, he could steal the Arkenstone from under the dragon's nose.

It can be considered as completing the contract signed at the beginning.

It was just that when I left Lake Town with the dwarves, it was so sudden that I left without telling Dui and Gandalf.

Now when I see Dui again, I feel a little guilty.

Dewi didn't care about it. Bilbo was his friend, not his owner, so he didn't need to ask for his opinion on anything.

He patted the hobbit on the shoulder and greeted the dwarves with a smile.

To be honest, after being together for so long, he had a good feeling towards the dwarves except Thorin.

For example, the eldest Balin is the wisest and most mature among the dwarves, and can be regarded as the think tank of the dwarf team.

The youngest, Fili and Kili, are Thorin's nephews, but they are lively, smart and friendly.

Bombur is the fattest one in the team. He has an easygoing personality, likes to eat and sleep, and is the "happy pill" of the team.

The other dwarves also have their moments of brilliance.

But when it came to Thorin's turn... Dui didn't know how to comment.

"Welcome back, Doir," Thorin said cautiously, his eyes full of suspicion. "I hope you are here to help me retake the Lonely Mountain, rather than trying to persuade me to give up like Gandalf did?"
