Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

With a wave of his hand, a small wooden box flew out from the gift bag and landed in his hand. He opened it and took out something wrapped in black cloth.

Then he immediately shouted to Gandalf: "Gandalf, don't destroy his body first, make him lose his resistance first!"

Chapter 44 Casting a Curse

Gandalf didn't know what Due was going to do, but he chose to believe him. With a heavy swing of his staff, he knocked down the corpse possessed by the Witch-king of Angmar.

"Expelliarmus!" Dui's spell followed.

The spell hit the corpse, knocking off a brooch from its body, and it quickly floated in front of Dui.

The brooch was tainted with the dark power of the Witch-king of Angmar and was full of ominousness and curse, which was exactly what Dui wanted.

He opened the black cloth, and what was wrapped in it was a voodoo doll made of mandrake.

He put the brooch on the voodoo doll, and the aura carried by the brooch instantly blended with the voodoo doll. The image of the voodoo doll changed, and it looked a bit like the corpse possessed by the Witch-King of Angmar opposite.

The Witch-King of Angmar, who was possessed by the corpse, only felt that the doll in Dui's hand opposite him had a vague connection with himself. This feeling made him a little uneasy, and he was about to leave the corpse's body immediately.

But the next second, a soul-piercing pain came from him, making him unable to help but let out a sharp and piercing scream.

Dui was seen holding a dagger made of poisonous snake teeth and stabbing it hard into the heart of the voodoo doll.

The voodoo doll seemed to come alive, and it also let out a shrill scream and showed a painful and hideous expression.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

Looking at Dui tying the doll with an expressionless face and the corpse demon's painful look, the dwarves couldn't help swallowing and looked at him in awe.

When casting a curse, one needs to concentrate fully, cast it with the greatest malice, and use enormous magic power as support.

Dui did not stop. After stabbing the heart with the poisonous dagger, he moved to the center of the voodoo doll's eyebrows and stabbed it again.

"Bang!" What Dui didn't expect was that the voodoo doll suddenly disintegrated in his hand and turned into a pile of ashes after letting out a shrill scream.

Dui was caught off guard by this sudden change.

But the final result did not make his efforts in vain.

The corpse possessed by the Witch-king of Angmar let out a roar of unwillingness and pain, and suddenly exploded violently, turning into ashes.

The other corpse demons suddenly seemed to have lost their support, the evil power in their bodies dissipated, and they fell to the ground and turned into bones.

Everyone fell silent instantly, looking at Dui in awe.

But Dui was not in the mood to pay attention to them at this time. He looked at the voodoo doll that turned into ashes in his hand and felt a pain in his flesh.

He spent so much effort to make the voodoo doll, but it was completely scrapped after being used just once to curse the Witch-king of Angmar. It really makes him feel sad!

After all, voodoo dolls are not disposable consumables, but he did not expect that the Witch-King of Angmar was so powerful that he could destroy a voodoo doll with one curse.

Gandalf walked over. He looked at the ashes in Dewey's hand, sensing the curse and dark magic lingering on them. He looked at Dewey with some concern. "Dewey, please don't mind my ramblings as an old man, but be careful not to immerse yourself too much in this power, or you'll easily become prey to darkness!"

"I understand. Thank you for your reminder." Dui nodded seriously.

at the same time,

Thousands of miles away in the dark land, the Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths, suddenly let out a painful scream. His hollow armor and mask continued to twist and deform in pain. His spirit was severely damaged and became even dimmer, as if it would disappear at any time.

This sudden change shocked the other Ringwraiths, but they didn't understand what had happened.

Just as the Ringwraiths panicked, a huge, burning eye appeared.

The edge of the giant eye was red flame, and the pupil was dark like a bottomless void. A tall and terrifying black figure emerged in the vertical pupil, exuding an incomparably powerful and dark aura.

The pupil of the evil eye was like a black hole, sucking in the weak Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths. When he came out, he had regained his strength.

"A new wizard has appeared in Middle-earth? Find out his origins. No variables can affect my return!" Ancient black words like those coming from the abyss came out from the magic eye. Every syllable was wrapped in an indescribable evil power, full of the power of bewitchment and corruption.

"Yes, my master!"

The Ringwraiths prostrated themselves before the Eye in awe and submission.

…………

The expedition team knew nothing about the darkness in the distance.

Everyone was collecting the jewelry and accessories left behind by the corpse demon and burying its body in the ground.

In Gandalf's words, these wights were all warriors who died in battle, but they were tainted by the dark power of the Witch-king of Angmar and could not rest in peace. Their bodies should not be left exposed in the wilderness.

Dewi then went to Gandalf and asked him for help: "Gandalf, can you help me see if there is anything wrong with me? Why did the Witch-king of Angmar say that he had marked me?"

Gandalf's expression became serious when he heard this. "Don't resist. I will check you with magic." As he said this, he placed the staff in his hand against Dui's chest, emitting a holy light.

Surrounded by the light, Dui felt like he was soaking in a hot spring, and his whole body became extremely comfortable.

But the next moment, Gandalf put away his staff and looked a little serious.

Seeing his expression, Dewi felt uneasy and asked quickly, "Gandalf, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

Gandalf shook his head and soothed him, "Don't be nervous. It's just a curse. You must have contracted it when you entered the Barrow-Downs. It's not harmful, but it makes you more susceptible to dark creatures. Well, it's like turning you into a more delicious meal."

Dui said he wasn't comforted, and he couldn't figure out when he got cursed, even though he was very careful at first.

"Gandalf, do you have any way to remove this curse from me?"

Dui didn't want to bear such a curse, especially when the zombies came out in droves like today, he didn't want to encounter it again.

Gandalf nodded with a smile, "It's hard for others to break this curse, but you happened to meet me."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a dazzling ring inlaid with a ruby ​​appeared on his finger. The ring shone with a fiery and warm light, as if he was wearing a sun on his hand.

"This is..." Naya, the Ring of Fire. Dui widened his eyes and looked at the ring on Gandalf's hand in amazement.

This was the first time he saw the true appearance of Naya, the Ring of Fire. It was so beautiful!

Gandalf gently patted his shoulder with the hand wearing the ring, and a wave of energy like the sun swept through his body, easily sweeping away the trace of curse power hidden in his body.

Dui instantly felt his body clear, as if all the sediment in his body had been removed, and he felt relaxed.

"All right!" Gandalf withdrew his hand.

"Thank you, Gandalf!" Dui said gratefully.

"I'm glad I can help you!" Gandalf shook his head and took off the ring from his finger again. Seeing that Dui's eyes unconsciously lingered on his hand, he winked at him mischievously, hissed, and whispered, "This is a little secret, remember to keep it a secret for me!"

Dui nodded, feeling amused and touched.

The fact that Gandalf took the initiative to reveal the Ring of Fire to him and help him remove the curse was enough to show his trust in Dewi.

Chapter 45: Sweeping the Ancient Barrow Mounds

After the remains of the corpse demon were buried, everyone returned to the yurt and continued to sleep.

"Well, what's the matter? What happened?" The fat Bombur crawled out of the sleeping bag in a daze, looking at the people who came in with confusion.

Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at each other.

The situation was urgent just now and everyone thought everyone was up, but they didn't notice that one person was missing.

Gandalf and Due watched this scene with a smile.

Thorin looked at his silly companion, took a deep breath, and said unhappily, "It's okay, go to sleep."

"Ah? Oh!" Then Bombur really shrank back into his sleeping bag, and soon he began to snore loudly.

Everyone was speechless again, but still with various emotions, they all crawled into their sleeping bags.

It was already late and they had to leave early tomorrow.

The next morning, everyone woke up from their sleep.

Watching Dui wave his hand and turn the huge yurt back into a carriage, and the carpet and sleeping bag disappearing, everyone felt like they were just dreaming.

Before setting off, everyone had one more thing to do.

That is sharing the spoils.

There was a large bag of jewelry and accessories left behind by hundreds of corpse demons last night, not to mention dozens of relatively complete ancient swords.

Gandalf proposed that the spoils be divided equally among all.

But Thorin directly refused. He believed that the dwarves did not contribute to the battle last night, and all the wights were dealt with by Gandalf and Due, so there was no reason to share the spoils.

The other dwarves agreed with Thorin. Although they loved jewels very much, their pride would not allow them to accept charity.

Faced with the stubborn dwarves, Gandalf no longer insisted, but he himself did not have much demand for treasure, so he only picked the most intact ancient sword as a weapon, and then left the rest of the spoils to Dui.

Dui looked at the spoils that all belonged to him and suddenly proposed to everyone, "Yesterday, I severely injured the Witch King of Angmar, and his minions, the wights, have also lost their power. Why don't we take this opportunity to attack the dragon's lair and take the wight treasures in the ancient tomb?"

The dwarves' eyes lit up at this proposal, and even Thorin, who only wanted to reach the Lonely Mountain as soon as possible, did not object.

They refused to share Dewi and Gandalf's spoils, but that didn't mean they didn't desire the treasure.

Especially since the dwarves were not wealthy at the time, Thorin Oakenshield had to make a living by forging iron to support his people, exchanging resources from nearby humans. He even had to offer the treasure of the Lonely Mountain as a reward in exchange for the cooperation of Dui and others in joining the expedition.

Although Gandalf had no interest in the corpse treasure, he also supported Dewi's proposal.

So instead of continuing forward, the group turned around and headed deeper into the ancient mound.

The sky over the Tomb Hill is always so gloomy, the mountains are shrouded in fog all year round, and it is silent and desolate.

However, compared with the last time he came to the Barrow Hill, Dui found that the fog in the mountains had dissipated a lot and the dark clouds in the sky had become thinner.

The group moved forward without encountering any obstacles and successfully arrived at the location of the ancient tombs.

Perhaps it was because the Witch-king of Angmar was severely injured and the wights lost the support of the Witch-king's power. There was no sign of any wight activity on the Barrow-downs, and it became very quiet.

Gandalf tapped the ground with his staff and used magic to detect. After getting the signal, he reminded everyone, "The wights are already asleep and won't wake up in a short time. But you still have to be careful not to wake them up."

After receiving the information provided by Gandalf, the dwarves were suddenly excited. Without the threat of the wights, all the jewels buried in the ancient tomb would be theirs!

So the dwarves began to rob the tomb.

Dwarves are naturally good at digging mine tunnels, so digging a tunnel leading to the tomb is not a problem for them at all.

The Barrow-Downs were basically burying the kings and nobles of the Dúnedain, and the burial objects were naturally priceless treasures. Under the patronage of the dwarves, the burial objects in the tomb were looted.

As for the corpses sleeping in the tomb, whenever they were encountered, they were basically eliminated by Dui and Gandalf to prevent them from reviving.

The dwarves stayed at the Barrow-Down for three days and visited hundreds of tombs. Finally, because they were running out of food, they reluctantly gave up the tomb-robbing work.

The final harvest made everyone very satisfied. Except for Gandalf who gave up his share, everyone else's pockets were filled with gold, silver and jewelry, even Bilbo was no exception.
