The dwarves were still not sleepy and stayed in the hall, drinking or talking dirty, making their companions around them laugh.
Mayor Lucky and the owner of the Prancing Pony Inn were led by the butler Edward to stay in the guest rooms.
Dewi took Bilbo, the three elf siblings, Legolas, and Beorn to live in the tower.
As for Bud, worried about his children, he returned home through the fireplace after the dinner.
The next day, the dwarves were leaving.
Dui looked at the thousand dwarf craftsmen, and his voice was not loud but could reach everyone's ears.
"Thank you for building this castle for me these past few months, so before I leave I want to give you two gifts as a token of my gratitude."
The dwarves were a little surprised to hear Dui's words.
They were only ordered to come and build the castle, but they didn't expect that Duir would also give them gifts.
Just as they were looking at each other, curious about what the gift was.
Dui waved his wand, and one thousand gold coins flew out of his pocket, jingling and bouncing on the ground and falling into everyone's hands.
Looking at the gold coin in their hands, the dwarves looked at each other in surprise.
What do you mean? Send them away with a gold coin?
But before the dwarves could get suspicious, Dui immediately explained the reason: "I have cast a spell on the gold coins in your hands. If anyone with ill intentions is around you, the coins will heat up as a warning."
"This is a small gift for you. I hope it will be useful to you."
Hearing Dui's words, the dwarves were suddenly surprised.
They looked at the gold coins in their hands, somewhat skeptical.
The dwarf with the quickest brain among them rolled his eyes, stared at his companion next to him, and approached with a smirk on his face.
The bald dwarf next to him suddenly hissed and exclaimed, "Hey, it's really getting hot!"
Then he immediately looked around vigilantly, and happened to meet his companion who was approaching quietly.
"Harper, what were you trying to do?"
The dwarf named Harper was a little embarrassed for a moment, and laughed out loud: "Nothing, I just wanted to pull out a few hairs on your head to see if the gold coins would work."
“But now it seems that it is indeed useful!”
The bald dwarf immediately moved away and quickly covered the last few carefully groomed hairs on his head to prevent them from suffering bad luck.
When the other dwarves saw this, their eyes lit up and they immediately tried to play a trick on their companions.
The results were all without exception, and the gold coins gave early warnings.
When the dwarf elder Balin saw this scene and looked at the gold coins in his hand, he suddenly felt much heavier.
He thanked Dui and said, "Dui'er, this gift of yours is quite significant. If I were ever in danger, it would be a life-saving treasure!"
Dui smiled and waved his hand. "It's just a small gift. You worked so hard to build this castle for me, I can't help but express my gratitude."
In fact, it didn't take him much effort to make these gold coins. It was just a little application of alchemy. He made these little gadgets with reference to the magic world's peephole (a small prop with early warning function), and then he kept copying them.
Then he said to the dwarves, "This second gift is a little special, so I'll give it to Mr. Balin for safekeeping."
As he spoke, he took out a silver wine jug and handed it to Balin.
When Balin saw that it was a wine jug, he was stunned for a moment.
However, based on his previous experience with gold coins, he didn't think this wine jug would be ordinary.
So he took the wine jug and asked curiously: "Duyle, what's so special about this wine jug?"
Dui didn't play it mysterious and explained directly, "This is one of my alchemical products. Just pour water into it and it will turn into fine wine."
Hearing Dui's words, Balin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately, he looked at Dui impatiently: "Is it okay?"
Dui smiled and nodded.
Balin immediately ran to the fountain and filled a jug with water.
The next second, a rich aroma of wine wafted out of the wine jug.
Chapter 147 Teaching Magic
The dwarves finally left with two gifts from Dui.
The thousand dwarf craftsmen went back into the box space as they had come, and were carried by Balin together with Philip to go through the fireplace to River Valley City, and then return to Lonely Mountain.
Of the two gifts, the dwarves preferred the silver flagon that could produce fine wine.
This magical gift even became a testimony to the friendship between Gushan and Fengyunding, and became an indispensable item in every banquet held in Gushan.
As the dwarves left, Hogwarts Castle instantly became quiet.
As for Lord Mayor Rudge of Bree and the owner of the Prancing Pony Inn, they returned directly to Bree through the fireplace the day after the banquet, leaving only the coachmen and militiamen who followed them back the same way.
In the huge castle, only Due, the three elf siblings, Legolas, Beorn, Bilbo, the steward Edward, and the village chief Luke who came up the mountain to report every few days were left.
The construction of the castle was complete, but Duy's work had just begun.
Today's Hogwarts Castle is just a formality and cannot be compared with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the wizarding world.
Not to mention that the moving stairs and moving armor blocks did not appear, even the castle itself needed to be applied with alchemical runes to enhance the castle's resistance to spell attacks.
In addition, Dewi also promised to teach Arwen and others magic.
In the spirit of releasing one sheep is the same as releasing a flock of sheep, Dui simply gathered those who had magic wands together and taught them together.
Inside the tower, Dui set aside a room as a classroom.
He stood on the stage as a professor of magic.
Sitting below were five students: Arwen, Elrohir, Elladan, Legolas, and Beorn.
Under the expectant gazes of the five people, Dui took out a copy of "Standard Spells Elementary" and tapped the book lightly with his wand. The book was quickly copied into five copies and flew into everyone's hands.
"This is the beginner's guide to spells. It contains some basic spells and principles. It serves as your guide for beginners. Everyone, please take a look."
Elrohir looked at the name on the cover of the book and immediately looked up curiously and asked, "Duil, this is the basic level of standard spells. Are there also intermediate and advanced levels?"
Dui shook his head. "I'm wrong, Elrohir. After the basic level of standard spells, there are two, three, four, and so on. The difficulty of the spells will increase gradually. And remember to call me professor during class."
"Okay, Professor Doyle." Elrohir called out obediently.
Dui nodded in satisfaction.
I never thought that he would become a professor one day.
Looking at the students below whose average age was over a thousand years old, Dui felt that the experience was good.
The subsequent teaching process also made him feel very comfortable.
Elves seem to be born for magic, and they are very smart and sharp. Basically, they can understand magic quickly and understand it after being taught once.
Watching Arwen easily release the effect of holy light with the Lumos Charm, and even make the light ball float freely away from the wand; Elrohir and Elladan used the Levitation Charm to make the two tables fly up and down; Legolas released a raging flame and easily controlled the temperature of the flame.
Dui could only sigh that his students were so outstanding that he seemed useless as a teacher.
But when he looked at Beorn again, Dewi's eyes instantly became kind.
Look, finally there is a student who can demonstrate his value as a teacher!
Beorn's magical talent is actually very good, but compared to the elves, especially the elves who are at least 500 years old, he seems a little ordinary.
In the days that followed, Dewi taught the elves and Beorn spells and began carving runes on the castle walls.
These runes contain magical powers such as solidity, immortality, waterproofness and fireproofness, which can make the castle stand for thousands of years without collapsing.
The castle is very large, and almost every brick is engraved with runes. This huge amount of work is no less than the original construction of the castle.
Dui naturally didn't plan to do it alone.
He directly drafted Elrohir and others into military service, and even Arwen was not spared.
The runes on each brick were similar, so after Dui designed the runes, he taught them to Elrohir and others, asking them to share the work and engrave runes on every brick wall of the castle.
This is a good opportunity to test their magic learning results.
Dui said this with a righteous look on his face.
In fact, Dui had considered this before. When building the castle, he let the dwarves be responsible for engraving the runes.
It's just that engraving runes requires magical support, otherwise the runes are just simply engraved and have no power at all.
So Dui could only regretfully give up the idea of recruiting dwarves as strong men.
Arwen and the others had no complaints.
In their view, the greatest reward was that Duir could teach them magical skills.
Not to mention that they can also use this to learn a magical rune that they have never seen before.
This is simply a huge profit for them!
Dewi was also generous with Arwen and the others. He divided the contents of the "Book of Spells" into standard spells from level one to level seven. Except for some spells that were more related to dark magic, he placed all of them in the library and opened them to them for study.
He even taught the elves their favorite Patronus Charm.
I just don't know if elves are naturally calm and peaceful, so their progress on the Patronus Charm, which requires extremely happy emotions, is slow, and they can only spray out a few strands of silver threads.
On the contrary, Beorn performed better than the elves this time. After practicing for a month, he successfully cast a patronus in the form of a giant bear.
The elves were not anxious about this and were very calm, with an attitude of "if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm dead."
In fact, extreme emotions are really not suitable for elves.
Extreme sadness is fatal to elves, making them weak and dying, so elves have developed the habit of restraint and indifference.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
Runes are engraved on every brick wall of the castle. The dense runes form an invisible magic circle, making the entire castle seem alive.
In the elves' keen perception, every brick and stone of the castle seemed to be breathing, no longer the cold stone as before.
At the same time, in the corridors of the castle, there are armors that can move and patrol automatically. They hold weapons and stand quietly in the corners of the walls.
If someone didn't know, they would think it was just armor displayed there.
