Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

"To Duir the Tree-cutter!" everyone shouted in unison, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the Brandy Hall.

Dui responded to everyone with a smile, but he was complaining in his heart.

Tree feller? What kind of a title is that? It sounds like someone who cuts down trees. Couldn't they have discussed this with me before starting?

The banquet lasted until very late, and Dui and Zhuo Guo returned home reluctantly.

The very tired Dui fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. When he woke up again, it was already time for afternoon tea.

After sleeping for so long, Dui's spirit has recovered a lot, but he is still a little weak, as if he has overused his brain, and his whole body is drowsy.

Moreover, the aftereffects of the magic explosion made the magic power in his body somewhat unstable, so he tried not to use magic power these days and wait until the magic power stabilized.

Unable to use magic for the time being, Dui had nothing to do for a while, so he simply picked up the wood and continued carving the wand.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

It was a few Hobbit militiamen who brought the heart of the old willow tree to Dewy under the orders of Lord Rory Brandybuck.

According to the militia captain, because the trunk of the old willow tree was too thick and hard, dozens of carpenters took a long time to split the trunk and take out the innermost core.

"Lord Duyle, we didn't know how long the heart tree would take, and we didn't dare to make a decision on our own, so we brought you the entire heart tree."

What caught my eye was a white tree core that was almost four or five meters long and was carried by two Hobbit militiamen.

Unlike the huge trunk of the old willow tree, the heart of the tree is only as thick as a wrist, with a milky white color like jade and fine wood grain, which is beautiful and full of mystery.

Chapter 18 Going to Tom's House

When Dui saw the tree heart, his eyes lit up.

He felt a strong magical aura from the heart of the tree. From the perspective of a wand maker, this was simply the top-notch material for making wands.

Not to mention that such a long tree core is enough to make more than a dozen wands.

Dui smiled happily and reached out to take the tree heart. Suddenly, his hand sank. The weight and texture were no different from gold and stone. He almost couldn't catch it. No wonder it took two people to carry it.

After thanking and sending off the militiamen, Dui looked at the long tree heart and began to think about what to do with it.

Dui estimated that the tree core was about four meters long. It was too long to even be brought into the house, so he had to put it in the yard first.

Besides, Dui didn't need such long wood to make his wand.

Dui planned to split the tree core in half first, and then cut a small piece as the raw material for the magic wand.

But as soon as the knife was cut, there was a crisp "ding" sound and sparks flew. Dui only felt that he had hit a block of iron, and his hand was numb from the shock.

Only a shallow trace was left in the heart of the tree.

So hard? Dui was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't understand how he had split the old willow trunk in two before.

There was no other way, so Dui had to ask a professional carpenter for help and use special tools to cut the tree core.

The Hobbit carpenters were very grateful and respected Dui, the hero who helped them repel the tree people. When they heard that Dui wanted them to help saw off the tree core, they agreed without hesitation and said they would do it for free.

Finally, after breaking more than a dozen saw teeth, the Hobbit carpenter finally sawed the tree heart in half, but he was also exhausted and sweating, and his arms were shaking.

"Lord Duyle, I can only help you up to this point. This tree core is so hard, no worse than pig iron. If you want to process it further, ordinary tools will be useless unless you use a magic weapon." The Hobbit carpenter advised sincerely.

"I understand. Thank you." Dui accepted his advice. Seeing the carpenter panting, he felt a little embarrassed. He secretly put the few silver coins left in his pocket on the table and left with the two pieces of tree heart.

When Dui returned to Zhuoguo's house, he looked at the two pieces of tree heart and was a little worried. It was so difficult to just cut the tree heart into two halves.

If it is to be made into a magic wand, it is an even more delicate job. Not only does it require cutting and carving, but the logs must also be polished bit by bit into the ideal shape and size. Such skill cannot be achieved with ordinary tools.

Just when Dui was worried about where to start with Willow Heart, Rory Brandybuck, who heard about this, gave Dui a useful suggestion when he invited him to the Brandy Hall.

"Doyle, perhaps you could seek help from Tom Bombadil. You know, he's lived a very long time, and his knowledge is far greater than anyone else in this world. He's always willing to help, and perhaps he could help you solve your problem."

Rory Brandy Deer said with a smile, "Besides, he invited you to be his guest. Isn't this an opportunity?"

When Dui heard Rory's words, his eyes lit up. He almost forgot that Tom had invited him.

And Rory was right. An ancient and powerful being like Tom Bombadil might have some magical weapon that could easily cut through the hard tree core.

Although he kept Rory's words in mind, Dewi did not go to visit Tom Bombadil immediately. Instead, he stayed at Drogo's house, recovering from the aftereffects of the magic explosion while practicing making wands with wood.

As for Drogo Baggins, he fell in love with Dora Brandybuck at first sight ever since the party that night. He went out early and came back late, running to the Brandy Hall all day long, almost treating the place as his home.

In this regard, Dui, a single guy, can only wish Zhuo Guo to marry his beautiful girl soon after complaining about his inhumanity towards the opposite sex.

He remembered that Dora Brandybuck should be the mother of Frodo Baggins, the future protagonist of The Lord of the Rings. He didn't know if it was because of him that the two of them got together earlier, and whether it would cause Frodo Baggins to be born earlier?

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Dui had been in Bucks Town for three full months.

After spending a lot of wood, one day, Dui finally succeeded in carving a magic wand.

The wand is 12 inches long, made of willow wood, easy to bend, and has unobstructed magic circuits. It is a standard magic wand.

When Dui saw his first work, a satisfied smile appeared on his face and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.

After successfully making the magic wand, Dewy did not stop. After saying goodbye to Drogo Baggins and Rory Brandybuck, he took Treeheart and rode his pony south until he reached the confluence of the Willow River, and then went upstream along the bank of the Willow River.

When passing the river valley where the old willow tree was, Dui saw the old willow tree again.

The old willow tree is still rooted on the bank of the Willow River, and there is no sign of the soil around it being disturbed, as if it has always been there and has never left.

Only the burnt bark and the remaining lower half of the trunk allowed Dui to confirm that it was the old willow tree that forced his magic to explode.

The old willow tree had fallen into a deep sleep and did not react violently to Dui's arrival. Only a few newly grown green leaves showed that it was still alive.

Dui glanced at the old willow tree and did nothing else. He continued walking upstream along the Willow River.

Soon, a riverside path appeared in front of Dui.

When Dewy saw the path, he knew he was not far from Tom Bombadil's house.

Sure enough, after walking along the path for another hour, Dui finally saw a low house on a hill in the distance.

It was already evening, and the lights in the houses in the distance had been turned on. The warm orange light shone through the windows and open doors, guiding the direction like a lighthouse.

Tom Bombadil's home is located at the junction of the east side of the Old Forest and the Barrowdown. The mountains and hills behind it are the Barrowdown. The source of the Willow River flows out from the deepest canyon of the Barrowdown.

The house is surrounded by neat green lawns and a garden full of various flowers. The path is paved with pebbles and leads directly to Tom Bombadil's home.

Dewy dismounted and came to the front of the house, where he saw Tom Bombadil standing outside the gate, having been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome! Wizard Duir, come in quickly. My beautiful wife Goldberry has prepared dinner for you and is waiting for you!" Tom looked very happy and walked quickly to give Duir a big hug.

Dui was a little surprised to hear Tom's words. He didn't expect that they knew about his arrival in advance.

Dewy was allowed to go into the house first, while Tom led the pony to the stable.

As soon as Dui entered the door, he saw all kinds of delicious food placed on the table in the middle of the living room. The aroma of the food wafted in the air, making people salivate.

On the other side, sitting on a chair facing the door, was a beautiful woman.

She had lush golden hair that reached her shoulders, and wore an emerald green dress dotted with silver threads that sparkled like dewdrops, with a gold belt tied around her waist.

At the woman's feet, there were many ceramic pots with many water lilies floating in them.

Chapter 19: River Girl Goldberry

"Welcome, my good guest!"

The woman stood up from the chair, stepped lightly over the pottery basin at her feet, and ran towards him with a sweet smile.

"I am Goldberry, the daughter of the river. Old Tom said that a young wizard has come to the forest. We haven't had any guests here for a long time. You must be very hungry. Come and have something to eat!"

"At your service, Lady Goldberry, I am the wizard Duyle." Duyle bowed slightly with a serious expression.

Tom Bombadil's identity is unknown.

And the lady in front of me who looks like an elf has a mysterious identity too.

In the ballad of Buckland, Goldberry is the daughter of the Lady of Willow Creek, a water nymph who playfully grabs Tom by the beard and drags him into the water one day as he passes by the river.

From then on, Tom fell in love with Goldberry, and soon after, the two got married and lived in a cottage on the banks of Willow River.

Although the accuracy of the Buckland ballad cannot be confirmed, goldberry is indeed closely related to Willow River.

Seeing Dui's serious look, Jinmei was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.

"What a gentleman young man! Please make yourself at home. This is Tom Bombadil's residence, and all friendly guests are welcome."

Invited by Goldberry to sit at the table, Tom also walked in and introduced himself to Dee with joy and pride:

"Ah, it seems you've already met each other, but I still want to solemnly introduce you to my beautiful wife, Goldberry. She is my soul mate and the source of my joy! I really can't imagine how boring life would be without her by my side!"

Sitting next to Tom, Goldberry smiled very gently, looked at her husband with eyes full of love, took his hand and said, "Oh, Tom, I love you very much too. I can't imagine life without you. It would be so dark!"

Watching the two of them expressing their love to each other without paying attention to others, Dui silently put down the sausage in his hand.

He felt a little full.

And a bit redundant.

However, the couple finally did not forget that they had a guest, Dui. They kept feeding Dui enough dog food and enthusiastically treated him with various delicacies. It was not until Dui really could not eat anymore that they stopped adding rice with some regret.

After dinner it was time to chat. Tom was like a cheerful child who knew nothing of sorrow. He talked incessantly in a poetic tone about a tree, a flower, and a leaf he saw. In his description, everything seemed to have color, vivid and lively.

And Jinmei is a perfect listener. She always looks at her husband with gentle and focused eyes and listens carefully to those interesting stories.

Dui was also immersed in this atmosphere, unconsciously immersed in it. As Tom narrated, those vivid images kept emerging in his mind. He seemed to witness the growth of a tree, the blooming of a flower, and the withering of a leaf with his own eyes. He seemed to be immersed in it, becoming a wisp of wind, a stone, a tree...

In this kind of perception, Dui's soul seemed to break free from its shackles, becoming purer and more powerful. His mental strength skyrocketed, and the magic power in his body also grew at a rapid rate.

Under the influence of his magic, green grass grew on the ground of the house, wood such as tables, chairs and benches took root again, countless gorgeous flowers bloomed on the walls, and the water lilies planted in the ceramic pots also bloomed.

And the change has spread outside the house, with the lawn and garden growing rapidly.

When Dui came out of this wonderful state, he saw a scene as if he was in a garden and green forest, surrounded by countless green plants.

Did he do this?

Dui looked at Tom and Goldberry, who were looking at the plants and flowers growing on the table with curiosity. He was a little flustered and apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, Tom, Ms. Goldberry, I didn't mean to do that. I don't know what happened..."

Tom interrupted Dui's apology, looking very happy, and said cheerfully: "Don't apologize, Dui, I like it this way! Look, we are surrounded by flowers and green plants, it's great!"

As he spoke, he plucked a golden marigold and pinned it on his wife's ear, "My dear, this beautiful flower suits you best!"

"Oh, thank you, dear." Goldberry smiled even more gently. She turned to comfort Dewi, her eyes full of smiles. "Please don't be upset, Dewi. I have to thank you very much. My water lilies are blooming. This is really good news!"

Seeing that the two had no intention of blaming him, Dui finally relaxed.
