But after seeing the items on the list clearly, he suspected that he had seen it wrong. He blinked and looked at the contents carefully again, and was dumbfounded.
It’s not that the things on the list are so precious, but because the materials are very unusual.
Luo Rui looked at the list and found that in addition to normal herbs such as mugwort, lavender, daffodil root, daisy root, fig peel, etc., there were also all kinds of strange things such as caterpillars, slugs, leech juice, beetle eyes, mouse spleen and tail, snake skin and snake teeth.
"Uh, Wizard Duir, are you sure you gave me the right list? The things on it..." Rory asked with some difficulty.
"Is it hard to find?" Dui asked doubtfully. "I know these things are hard to find, so I don't insist on collecting them all. I'll be satisfied as long as I can find some of them."
"No, although these things are hard to find, if you need them, Wizard Duir, we will certainly do our best to help you collect them." Luo Rui shook his head and asked hesitantly, "But, what are you looking for these things for? Of course, this is just my curiosity. If it's a secret, please don't tell me."
Dui did not hide anything and explained, "There's nothing secretive about this. I want to make some potions, so these things are the ingredients needed for the potions."
"Potion?" Luo Rui was stunned. He looked at the items on the list and still couldn't believe that these strange things could be used to make potions.
He knew that Dui had made a magic potion called White Fresh Essence and had given some to Zhuo Guo. Not long ago, when his daughter Dora was dating Zhuo Guo in the wild, she was accidentally scratched by a branch, and it was Zhuo Guo who used that magic potion to treat her.
At that time, Luo Rui witnessed the magic of the potion with his own eyes. The scratch was healed in almost the blink of an eye. He was greatly shocked by this and became more determined to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Zhuo Guo.
But he didn't expect that the magical potion would be made of these strange things. This completely shattered his three views.
But no matter what he thought, Rory was still willing to do his best to help Dui.
He was also curious about what kind of potion these things would be used to make in the end?
Dui was very grateful for this and remembered the favor, but he rejected Luo Rui's idea of helping him for free. He now had a lot of jewelry and was not short of money.
After saying goodbye to Rory and leaving the Brandy Hall, Dui went to the blacksmith shop and commissioned the blacksmith to make a crucible based on the drawings he drew, using silver with strong magical properties as the material.
Then Dui returned to Zhuoguo's house and took out a small piece of tree heart, which was the piece that Tom had cut off before. The size was just right for making a magic wand.
Dui took out a dagger and carefully carved on the heart of the tree.
The tree core, which was originally as hard as iron, was now as soft as wax under the dagger and was easily cut without any effort at all.
Although Dui had been prepared for a long time, he was still very happy. At the same time, he had long admired the craftsmanship of the Dunedain. Such a dagger could truly be called a magic weapon, and he had four of them at once!
Dui was already very skilled in wand carving, and he carefully carved the tree core bit by bit.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Dui's tree core wand had taken shape. The hole for placing the core did not require much skill, so a Hobbit craftsman was specially hired to drill the hole to the appropriate depth with a diamond drill bit.
When everything was ready, Dui broke his first wand without hesitation and pulled out the core.
Then he carefully placed the wand core into the tree core wand, used the gum specially collected from the old willow tree a few days ago as adhesive, and poured it into the small hole to make the wand core and the wand become one.
After some careful polishing, on a full-moon night, Dui held the wand in the moonlight, waving it in a specific motion, continuously injecting magic power into the wand, and chanting the incantation: "Nix-Inskri-Berry, Spiritus-Olarae-Resonantia..."
As the lengthy spell continued to be chanted, the moonlight seemed to take on substance, gathering into a silver mist that continuously flowed into the wand.
The silent wand seemed to be given life, and the magical fluctuations coming from the wand were like the sound of a beating heart.
Dui held the wand in his hand, which was tightly connected to his arm, as if it was an extension of his arm. The magic power in his body gushed out along the wand without any hindrance.
With a bang, countless golden notes spurted out from the tip of the wand. The notes were like dancing musical elves, playing cheerful music.
The music played by the golden notes started from Dui and continued to spread around with the wind, echoing throughout the entire Bucks Town. Everyone who heard this music became extremely happy, and smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.
Dui was also excited at this moment. On the one hand, he was infected by the magic of music, and on the other hand, he was surprised by the tree heart wand.
The Heartwood Wand is made from the heart of the strongest and oldest willow tree in the old forest, and is paired with a core made from the hair of River Girl Goldberry and the beard of Tom Bombadil.
The combination of the two strongest wand materials imbues the Heartwood Wand with mysterious and powerful powers. Not only does it perfectly suit Dewi, but it also greatly enhances the power of spells, allowing Dewi to cast magic even more powerful than his own.
Using the same magic power and casting the same spell, the power exerted by the tree heart wand is several times stronger than the previous willow wand.
Just like the music magic just cast, if it had been cast with the willow wand before, it would have affected an area of a few dozen meters at most. But now, with the tree heart wand, it affected the entire Bucks Town. The difference was truly enormous.
Dui happily stroked the wand in his hand. With this wand in his hand, his strength could be increased several times.
After that, he was like getting the most novel toy, constantly trying out various spells with the wand to make the wand fit him better.
After getting familiar with the new wand, Dui finally turned his attention to collecting potion ingredients.
Chapter 27 Goodbye Bilbo
With the full support of the Brandybuck family and Dui's supply of jewelry and money, the residents of the entire Buckland were mobilized and collected potion materials very efficiently.
Bundles of mugwort, lavender, daffodil roots, daisy roots, etc. were delivered, and pots of leeches, slugs, caterpillars, mouse tails and spleens were placed at Zhuo Guo's door.
While Dui was happy with the efficiency, he was also very busy because he needed to process all the potion materials. Some needed to be dried and some needed to be kept fresh.
Dui was so busy that he even drafted Zhuo Guo into the army to help him process the ingredients for the potion.
"Uh, Doyle, are you sure these things can really be used to make potions and not poison?" Zhuo Guo looked at the basin of sticky slugs in front of him with a troubled look on his face, not knowing where to start.
"Of course. When I have made the potion, I will give you a bottle. I guarantee it will take effect immediately after you drink it." Dui assured with certainty, but there was a smile of watching the fun in his eyes.
He didn't want to touch the slug, so he maliciously handed it over to Zhuo Guo, who didn't know how to refuse.
Hearing that he still had to drink it, Zhuo Guo immediately looked resistant.
"Well, forget it. I rarely get sick or injured anyway, so I don't need potions."
Then he gritted his teeth and grabbed a slug, and used scissors to cut off a pair of antennae from the slug, which were the materials for making the potion.
Dui was not having a good time either. He was dealing with a basin of caterpillars. He needed to wear a pair of sheepskin gloves to avoid being stung by the caterpillars. Then he used a knife to cut open the caterpillar's belly, took out all the internal intestines, washed them, and then placed them on a stone slab to dry.
It took Dui a whole week just to process the potion materials, and that was with the help of magic. He was so tired that his back and waist ached.
In addition to the potion ingredients, Dui also got four pots of plants.
Two pots are of Dictamnus, and the other two pots are of Solanum lycopersicum, also known as common Mandrake.
Baixian is what Dui intends to use to make Baixian essence.
As for the poisonous nightshade, Dui wanted to try whether he could cultivate it into the mandrake in the magical world.
The two poisonous eggplants that Dui obtained were found on the outskirts of the old forest. They had been growing for dozens of years, and their roots had grown into the shape of little people with healthy limbs.
Every day, Dui would regularly infuse four pots of plants with magic. Two of the white radish plants showed noticeable changes, but the two poisonous nightshades remained unchanged, still greedily absorbing Dui's magic, and absorbing even more.
Dui was not disappointed by this. Being able to absorb magic power was a good sign. Now his magic power had doubled compared to before, so he didn't have to worry about not having enough magic power.
After collecting all the potion materials, Dui did not start making the potion immediately. Instead, he loaded them all into the carriage, packed up everything, and formally said goodbye to Zhuo Guo and Luo Rui Brandy Deer.
He had to hurry back to Hobbiton. He couldn't remember the exact time of the expedition to Lonely Mountain, but if he wanted to catch this train, he couldn't delay outside for too long.
So after bidding farewell to Zhuo Guo who was reluctant to leave, Dui drove away in his carriage again.
Hobbiton is as peaceful and tranquil as ever.
Bilbo had just finished his lunch and was sitting in a chair in front of the garden, smoking his pipe leisurely.
He looked into the distance with empty eyes and murmured, "I wonder where Duyle is now?"
Since Dewi left, Bilbo's life returned to peace again, but the longer time passed, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't help but think of Dewi traveling outside, and sometimes even thought that he should have traveled with Dewi.
Just as Bilbo finished smoking his pipe and was about to go home to prepare afternoon tea.
A carriage was coming from a distance.
Bilbo looked over in confusion until the carriage came closer.
Dui jumped off the carriage and waved with a cheerful smile, "Long time no see, my friend! Did you miss me?"
"Dui'er!" Bilbo was very surprised. He ran out of the garden quickly and hugged Dui's thighs happily.
"Why are you back?"
"Why, don't you welcome me?" Dui asked deliberately with a smile.
Bilbo knew that Dee was joking, but he still said very seriously: "How could that be! You are always welcome here!" Then he warmly invited Dee into the house to enjoy afternoon tea together.
Dui shook his head and pointed at the packed carriage. "I have to take everything out of the carriage first. Oh, and I also brought you a pack of your favorite Changgu tobacco."
Bilbo's eyes lit up. Besides enjoying delicious food, his greatest hobby was smoking his pipe, and Long Valley Tobacco was his favorite brand. He immediately couldn't wait to help with the moving.
Dui refused his help. "Well, my friend, you don't have to do it yourself. You just need to provide a place to put the things."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the objects on the carriage floated up and flew out of the carriage. One of them was a large bag of tobacco that flew in front of Bilbo.
Bilbo opened his mouth wide when he saw this and exclaimed, "Although I've seen this many times, your magic is always so amazing, Doyle!"
Then he quickly opened the door of Bag End and cleared out a storage room to store Dui's things.
But when Bilbo saw clearly what Dewi had brought, he couldn't help being shocked. Apart from the four pots of plants and the bundles of daisy roots, mugwort, narcissus roots, etc., which seemed normal, what the hell were those leeches, slugs, caterpillars, etc. in the glass jars?
And the snake skins frightened Bilbo, who was afraid of snakes.
Bilbo swallowed and asked hesitantly, "Dui'ir, what are you going to do with these things?"
"For making potions."
"Potion? With these things?" Bilbo looked incredulous.
"Of course, you'll know later." Dui didn't explain much to him. Anyway, this time he came back, he planned to make some potions in preparation for the expedition mission in the near future.
After putting the things away, Dewi took out some jewelry accessories for Bilbo to choose from.
The jewels Dui had obtained from the Barrow Wights were extremely valuable and had a long history. However, Dui despised the fact that these jewels were taken from the dead and had no intention of using them himself.
So he wouldn't feel bad about giving it away, especially since Bilbo had helped him a lot before.
Bilbo saw these dazzling jewelry accessories and knew how precious they were, so he was embarrassed to take them. However, at Dewi's strong request, he finally chose a ruby brooch.
As expected of Zhuo Guo and his cousin, they choose the same things.
Later, during afternoon tea, Bilbo pulled Dewy aside with anticipation and told him about his journey.
And Dui also learned from Bilbo that the story of his repelling the invading tree people in Buckland had spread throughout the Shire, and Dui's name "Tree Cutter" had become deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The reason why this matter spread so quickly was partly due to the publicity given by the Brandybuck family in Buckland.
Dui was speechless about this, but he had no choice but to accept this nickname that sounded like a lumberjack.
What Dewy didn't know was that his name was known not only in the Shire, but also in Bree, a town outside the Shire.
Among them, the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree is a resting place for many traveling merchants, adventurers, rangers, and even dwarves in Middle-earth. So if nothing unexpected happens, his name will spread to all parts of Middle-earth with these people.
Chapter 28 Making a Potion
After finishing afternoon tea, Dui did not rush to start making potions, but instead summoned a magic book.
The cover of the magic book reads "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide".
