Now it was impossible to return the same way, so Dui planned to go downstream along the Willow River, then go back to the Brandywine River and go upstream to Bucktown.
But before that, he had one more thing to do.
"System, sign me in."
[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the Ollivander wand crafting process! ]
In an instant, many wand-making techniques and knowledge flooded into his mind, allowing him to immediately learn how to make a wand.
Dui was very happy. Although the sign-in reward this time was not a physical object like a spell, with the method of making a wand, he could make a wand that suits him and double his strength.
Especially without a wand, it would be difficult for him to cast lethal or powerful spells.
For example, if he didn't have a magic wand to help him cast the Avada Kedavra curse, he would probably be the first one to be killed.
Dui had originally prepared for the trees along the Willow River to block and attack him, but to his surprise, the trees on the river bank were very quiet and allowed him to pass smoothly.
Unable to figure it out, he didn't think much about it and followed the river to its confluence, then continued upstream along the Brandywine River.
It was already early morning the next day when we arrived at Bucks Town.
"Oh my God, Duyle, where have you been? Why do you look like this?" Drogo Baggins looked at Duy, who had returned exhausted, with his eyes wide open and said in disbelief.
"I went to the old forest and had a fight with the trees." Dui sat down on the low sofa, took a breath, and then explained with a grin. When he left before, he didn't tell Zhuo Guo that he was going to the old forest in order not to worry him.
"What? You actually went to the Old Forest!" Zhuo Guo's face was full of shock, and he almost knocked over the bread he brought. The Old Forest was a forbidden forest for the Hobbits, especially the Hobbits in Buckland. No one dared to go there. But Dui dared to go there alone, which scared him.
After the shock, he quickly looked at Dui carefully, and made sure that he didn't have any body parts left on him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Dui smiled and shook his head. "Have you forgotten that I'm a wizard? Don't worry about me. I'm not the one who will suffer this time!"
After comforting Zhuo Guo, Dui did not go to rest immediately after breakfast, but started to process the wood he brought back.
The wood brought back this time included more than a dozen kinds of wood, including chestnut, alder, laurel, elm, and a piece of willow branch from an old willow tree.
He started with chestnut to test its compatibility with his magic power, but the results were all more or less magical resistance, and it was not the most suitable wood for his wand.
It was not until the old willow tree's branch came into his turn that a happy smile appeared on Dui's face.
The willow branches of the old willow tree not only have the highest magical properties among all woods, but are also the wood that best suits him at present. His magic power is transmitted most smoothly and quickly through the willow wood. This is simply a surprise!
He finally found the material for the wand body!
Next, he just needs to find a suitable wand core and start making his own wand.
It was all about luck. According to the memory of Ollivander's wand-making process that I had just acquired, the wood used to make the wand not only needed to have magical properties, but more importantly, it had to be collected at midnight when the moon was full to ensure optimal performance of the wand.
This is why the wands made by the Ollivander family are better than those made by other wand makers.
Last night happened to be a full moon night, so Dui didn't need to get another branch from the old willow tree.
The willow branch was about one meter long and could be used to make several wands. Dui cut it into three parts, picked up one and looked at it in his hand. The ideal shape and size instantly came to his mind, and he instinctively knew how to start.
This is an ability given to him by Ollivander's wand-making process.
Chapter 13 Treeman Attack
But as the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.
Dewy made a special trip to the blacksmith shop in Buckstown and commissioned the Hobbit craftsman in the blacksmith shop to create a set of tools for carving wands according to the drawings he drew.
After getting the tools, Dui began to process the willow wood.
He carefully peeled off the bark with a knife, then cut and carved it bit by bit according to the desired shape and size of the wand.
But the fact is that his brain learned it, but his hands and feet did not.
Wand carving is a delicate job that requires full concentration and no deviation can be made, otherwise it will affect the balance and feel of the subsequent wand.
So it was no surprise that his first work failed.
The scrapped willow wood could no longer be made into a wand, so Dui had no choice but to throw the half-carved wand in his hand into the fireplace to burn as firewood.
Looking at the two remaining willow logs, Dui didn't dare to continue carving with them, otherwise if they were scrapped, he would have to go to the old forest to find old willow trees again.
He had no confidence that he could safely get the willow branches from the old willow tree again.
So he turned his attention to the pile of other wood he had brought back, intending to practice with these woods first, and then move on to the willow wood when he felt confident.
For the next two days, Dui carved a wand out of wood.
Although none of them were successful, the craftsmanship was gradually maturing, and the carved wands were gradually taking shape.
But on the third night after his return from the Old Forest, a loud, piercing ring of bells rang out through all Buckland, startling Dewy and Drogo from their sleep.
Zhuo Guo knocked on Dui's door with a panicked look on his face, "Dui'er, get up quickly, we need to go to Brandy Square immediately!"
"What happened?" Dui saw Zhuo Guo's expression and asked in confusion as he stood up.
Zhuo Guo quickly explained, "The bell ringing now is the Bucksland alarm. Once it rings, it means Bucksland is in danger! The last time it rang was when the Brandywine River flooded fifteen years ago! I wonder what happened this time?"
Dui's expression also became serious when he heard this.
Without wasting any time, the two changed their clothes and immediately headed for Brandywine Square, where they met hobbits who were traveling with them along the way.
The square was packed with people, and only the tall Dui stood out among the hobbits.
At the front of the square was a row of militiamen ready to go, as well as members of the Brandybuck family, the rulers of Buckland, and their leader, Commander Rory Brandybuck.
"Silence!" Rory Brandybuck shouted loudly. Facing the hobbits below, his expression was serious and solemn, and he announced a very bad news to everyone.
"Everyone, Buckland is in danger now. The trees in the old forest have suddenly rebelled and are now trying to climb over the high fences and invade our homes. We can't let them succeed!"
"So I need everyone except the elderly and children to follow me and fight back against the trees' attack!"
Hearing this, all the hobbits in the square were in an uproar, and emotions of tension and fear surged up in an instant.
But Dui felt a pang in his heart. The old forest and the stag land had always been clearly separated, and there had been no conflict for hundreds of years.
Could it be that I am the cause of this inexplicable riot and invasion?
The situation was urgent. No matter how nervous and scared they were, all the Hobbits picked up axes, sickles, hoes and other weapons they could use, and followed the Brandybuck family members to defend their home.
Drogo Baggins held an axe, his expression tense and uneasy, but he still said softly to Dui, "Dui, this is a battle between us and the trees of the Old Forest to defend our home. You are not a hobbit, so you don't need to get involved."
Seeing Zhuo Guo trying to persuade him sincerely, Dui felt a little guilty and shook his head to refuse. "One more person means more strength. I can't just stand by and watch you defend the Buckland. Besides, have you forgotten that I'm a wizard? Maybe I can help you."
Then everyone came to the other side of the high fence.
At this time, the battle on the High Hedge side was fierce. Countless Huorn Treemen came out of the old forest. They pulled out roots from the ground and quickly surrounded the High Hedge wall. They hammered the wall with their thick branches, trying to destroy the hedge and move straight into the Deer Land.
Although the thick fence temporarily stopped the attack of the Huorn tree people, it was already crumbling due to the tree people's continuous destruction, and even gaps began to appear in some places, and it was ready to be breached at any time.
The Hobbit militia who arrived early were constantly shooting arrows from their bows, trying to use fire to repel the attack of the Huorn tree people.
Rory Brandybuck, the lord of Buckland, stood on a hillside, commanding the members of the Brandybuck family to set up several catapults. They placed barrels of oil and wine on the catapults, which were thrown high up and hit the tree people behind the high hedge wall.
Then he threw out a burning fireball, which ignited the spilled oil and wine, instantly plunging the tree people into a sea of fire. Some of the tree people who were drenched in oil and wine turned into flaming trees, emitting low screams.
Seeing this scene, Dui couldn't help but cheer for Rory Brandybuck's actions. It was such a clever and decisive method, even he couldn't think of a better way.
But what shocked Dewi and all the hobbits was that despite the heavy losses suffered by the tree people, they continued to attack the high hedge wall frantically, using their huge bodies to hit the hedge wall and using their thick roots to dig into the ground to pull out the roots of the hedge!
Soon, a huge hole was broken open in the high hedge, and a Huorn tree man jumped over the hedge, waving thick roots and branches, and smashed towards the frightened hobbit militia.
With the Hobbit's small body, if it were hit by the tree man, it would probably turn into a pool of meat paste.
"All petrified!"
A dazzling light was extremely eye-catching in the night sky and instantly hit the tree man. The tree man's attacking movement stopped instantly, as if he was frozen and motionless.
The hobbits who were nearly crushed to death were still in shock, looking at Dui with awe and gratitude for saving them.
"You guys get out of here quickly, leave this to me!" Dui said lightly to the Hobbit militia, then walked straight past them and headed towards the gap.
He could not sit idly by and watch hobbits die, especially when he thought the Ent rebellion was probably caused by him.
"Petrify them all! Petrify them all! Push back quickly... Stand still and die! Defeat your weapons..."
Dui took the initiative to attack, casting dazzling spells one after another, as if entering an empty space, freezing the approaching tree people, sending them flying backwards, or locking them in place...
Chapter 14 Old Willow Tree
All the hobbits who saw this scene opened their eyes wide, as if they were dreaming.
Luo Rui, the head of the Brandy Deer family on the high ground, looked at the figure with shock and burning eyes, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.
He knew the identity of the wizard Duir, but he never thought he would be so powerful. Under that magical and powerful magic, he watched Duir strolling among the tree people as if he was strolling in the garden. Wherever he went, no one could stop him!
At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he had not been able to make friends with this wizard before. At the same time, he envied the lucky boy Drogo Baggins, who was able to live with the wizard for so long. He believed that even if they were not friends, their relationship would be quite close.
With such a powerful wizard as his backer, no one would look down on him.
Thinking of this, Rory Brandy Deer had some ideas in his mind. Maybe it would be a good idea to let his daughter Dorado interact with that boy.
As time passes little by little.
On the battlefield, Dui was panting and looked a little tired.
He had no idea how many Huorn had killed. Those petrified Huorn were now like motionless trees, almost making the originally treeless wide grassland very crowded, and a dense forest appeared out of thin air.
After defeating so many tree people, Dui was very tired and his throat was almost unable to speak.
But the result did not disappoint. Dui successfully resisted the attack of the tree people and prevented them from crossing the high fence and entering the Hobbit territory.
Seeing that the tree people stopped attacking, Dui did not let down his guard.
Boom! The ground shook.
A huge monster emerged from the old forest, destroying all the trees in its path and plowing a wide path through the dense forest.
In the light of the fire, the true face of the behemoth was revealed.
It’s the old willow tree in the center of the old forest!
The old willow tree had a black and carbonized surface and its branches were withered and yellow. In the darkness and the flickering light of the fire, it looked like a ferocious monster with bared fangs and claws, emitting a tremendous murderous aura and making a harsh, low buzzing sound.
Dui's eyes narrowed. This old willow tree actually came out!
Moreover, compared to the already huge trunk, its roots are even larger, almost ten times the size of its body. It waves those thick roots like a giant octopus, sweeping away all the trees blocking the way.
Dui immediately discovered that he was being locked in an invisible gaze filled with murderous intent, and the source was the old willow tree.
Dui finally confirmed that the old willow tree's target was him.
