Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

Controlling the stone was much more difficult than controlling the leaves. Dui seemed to have returned to the beginning. The stone floated up and down, and then the time it lasted was even shorter than that of the leaves.

But Dui became more and more excited as he practiced. He was so immersed in the use of magic that he didn't notice the passage of time.

Dewi's practice was interrupted only by the appearance of Bilbo.

Bilbo watched the practice, his eyes wide with wonder.

"Dui'er, are you practicing magic?"

Dui nodded slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Strictly speaking, this is not magic, it is just the simplest way of using magic to lift objects.

Moreover, the weight of the objects that can be lifted is very light, even less than the force of throwing them directly with your hands.

There is no lethality at all.

But in Bilbo's eyes, this is a very magical ability.

"It's so cool!"

Bilbo looked at him with adoring eyes, his expression extremely excited.

"Doyle, can you show me again? Please!"

"as you wish!"

Being looked at with admiration, Dui felt secretly happy, and he was ready to show off to the Hobbit in front of him.

Then, under Dui's control, countless petals in the garden rose into the air and danced around the two of them, gorgeous and beautiful.

Bilbo opened his mouth wide and watched all this in shock.

In the next few days, Dui spent most of his time practicing the control of magic power.

He started out with small leaves and pebbles, and now he can control objects weighing ten kilograms to fly.

And the time I can persist has also increased from two minutes at the beginning to about half an hour now.

He even started multitasking, trying to control several things to fly at the same time.

Of course, this is different from the previous manipulation of petals. After all, that was just a short-term magic manipulation, used to show off and fool people who don't understand magic.

Now he can control several objects weighing several kilograms at the same time, and in a long time.

So you can often see things flying around in the living room of Bag End.

At first, they were non-breakable things, and when they became proficient, they were cups, teapots, plates, etc.

Bilbo went from being shocked at first to being used to it. Sometimes, when he was too lazy to move and didn't want to get something that was far away, he would just call Dui to help him fly over using magic.

On this day, Dui temporarily stopped practicing magic.

Because the food stored in Bag End was almost consumed by the two of them, he and Bilbo went to the village to buy food.

Walk down the winding path along the hill, passing through the pastoral scenery of the Shire, and you can see three or two Hobbits working in the fields along the way.

When the Hobbits saw Dui, a human of noticeable height, they would stop and look at him curiously.

There are no secrets in Hobbiton. The news that a human had come to Bilbo Baggins's house had already spread throughout Hobbiton.

But in the eyes of the Hobbits, Bilbo Baggins is a solitary person who doesn't like to socialize.

So no one came to Bag End to inquire about the news.

After passing the stone mill and walking across the double arch bridge, we soon arrived at the central area of ​​Hobbiton.

The Hobbit houses here are different from those in Bag End. Instead, they are more like human buildings, but they are also low and suitable for Hobbits to live in.

There is also the only inn here - the Green Dragon Tavern, which is the favorite gathering place of the Hobbits.

The market was bustling with people, and the Hobbits were selling their specialties and even bartering.

The women kept bargaining, while the children were happily running around in the crowd.

Dui stood out in the crowd, and everyone who passed by would look at him.

The adults' gazes are rather subtle, but the children's are different.

Several little hobbits gathered around him curiously. One of them even grabbed his clothes and asked with clear and innocent eyes, "Are you human?"

Dui looked at the tiny creature, which was not even as tall as his knees, smiled, touched its head, and nodded: "Yes."

Bilbo, standing by, didn't want Dewi to be looked down upon. He coughed dryly a few times to attract everyone's attention, then puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Dewi is not only a human, he's also a wizard!"

"Wow!" The little hobbits opened their mouths wide, looking shocked.

The hobbits around were also very surprised, and their curious attitude towards Dui was mixed with a bit of awe.

After all, wizards have always been powerful and mysterious figures in Middle-earth.

But the children didn't know what reverence was, and they were even more curious and pestered Dui to see magic.

Dui did not refuse. He gently tapped their hats, and the hats seemed to come alive, flapping their ear caps and flying around them.

The children exclaimed and then ran after the hat happily.

The Hobbits who witnessed all this were also shocked.

Bilbo was very pleased with this and coughed solemnly.

"Well, Doyle, we should go."

Doyle nodded in amusement and followed the hobbit who looked like he had won a battle.

After Bilbo finished shopping at the market, Dewy went to the only blacksmith shop in Hobbiton.

The owner of the blacksmith shop was stunned when he saw Dui, a human, arrive. Then he stepped forward and said, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Dui took a look around and found that most of the things sold here were either agricultural tools like hoes or things like kitchen knives and axes.

"Do you sell any weapons here? Like long swords or something like that."

The boss gave him a strange look and shook his head. "Hobbits don't like fighting. There's no market for longswords here, so we don't sell them here."

Dui was a little disappointed, but he continued to ask: "If I want to customize it, how long will it take?"

The boss continued to shake his head. "I'm sorry, sir. Although I'd really like to do business with you, we've never forged a longsword before and have absolutely no experience at all."

"If you really want to buy a good quality sword, I suggest you go to the town of Bree, east of the Shire. That's your human town. They are very good at forging weapons. You might be able to buy the weapon you want there."

Dewi shook his head.

According to Bilbo, the distance from Hobbiton to Bree is about 135 miles, which would take at least six or seven days to walk.

He had no plans to go to the small town of Bree at the moment.

Since he couldn't buy any weapons, Dui simply picked out two bone-cutting knives from the blacksmith shop.

Although the blacksmith shop owner said he couldn't forge weapons, the quality of the kitchen knives he forged was very good, especially the bone-chopping knives, which were thick and sharp and could easily chop through the bones of pigs, cattle and sheep.

In the boss's words, the kitchen knives he produces can be used for a lifetime.

Dui was skeptical about this, but he still paid the money readily.

As for the source of the money, of course Dewy borrowed it from Bilbo.

He was a poor fellow, penniless, and now he was living on Bilbo's support, and he couldn't even guarantee when he would be able to pay him back.

But the kind hobbit didn't mind and had no intention of asking him to pay it back.

So Dewi was very glad that the first person he met was Bilbo, otherwise he wouldn't be so relaxed now!

Chapter 4 The Knife Comes

After buying the knife, Dewi reunited with Bilbo and returned to Bag End together.

On the way, Bilbo looked at the two boning knives that Dui had bought and couldn't help asking curiously, "Dui, why did you buy two boning knives? Don't you already have them at home?"

Dui held two bone-chopping knives in his hands and assumed a chopping stance. "These aren't bone-chopping knives, they're my weapons. I'm going to use them to defend myself from the enemy in the future!"

Bilbo opened his mouth, unable to connect himself with the image of the wizard for a moment.

"As long as you like it."

Seeing Bilbo's eyes, Dewi's lips curled up slightly.

The two bone-chopping knives in his hands flew out with a whoosh and stabbed directly into an oak tree on the side of the road, with half of the blades embedded in the trunk.

Bilbo was momentarily stunned.

"Sword...ah, come on, knife!"

The knife was pulled out of the tree trunk again and flew back into his hand in an instant.

Bilbo was stunned by what he saw.

After showing off, Dui left with the look of a master.

But I was sweating silently in my heart.

The knife was inserted too deep and it took a lot of effort to pull it out. It almost hit my face.

So thrilling!

After returning to Bag End, Dui began a new round of training.

He began to concentrate on manipulating the two boning knives, trying to make them work as smoothly as his own arms.

Each of the two bone-chopping knives weighed two kilograms, which was just within the limit of Dui's magic control.

In order to have more precise control, he simply used the bone-chopping knife to chop the wood.

In this way, although the process was difficult and he could only persist for a short while at the beginning, as he persisted longer, it became easier for Dui to control the bone-cutting knife and his speed became faster.

As a result, Dewy finished collecting firewood for the winter at Bag End early, and there was even some left over.

Bilbo was delighted with this.

After all, although Hobbits love life, they don't want to be lazy. Stockpiling firewood before winter is a difficult task.

Now that it has been completed ahead of schedule, I am naturally very happy.

Bilbo was amazed and worried as he looked at the two bone-cleavers around Dui, which were almost out of sight and only made the sound of cutting through the air.

He was always worried that Dui would lose control and get hurt by the knife.
