Seeing the guests asking for wine one after another, the smile on the innkeeper's face deepened.
"Gandalf, you really put all the trouble on me!" Dewi finally got rid of the enthusiastic residents of Bree, sat down opposite Gandalf, took a deep breath, and showed a helpless bitter smile.
"It was clearly the two of us who dealt with the corpse demon, and you contributed more than me, so why are you giving all the credit to me?"
Gandalf smiled and looked at him in a state of disarray. He chuckled and said, "Young men should enjoy the glory. As an old man, I am past the age of enjoying glory, so I will not get involved in these excitements."
"And you don't have to underestimate yourself. If you hadn't severely damaged the Witch-king of Angmar with your curse, we wouldn't have achieved such a great victory. You truly deserve this honor!"
It was not known which warrior had actually gone to investigate, but within half a day, news was reported back to Bree, confirming that what the dwarves had said was true.
The residents of Bree were even more excited, and the mayor of Bree even visited Dui and his party in person, and presented them with a gold medal engraved with "Corpse Slayer".
In this way, Dui's reputation as the nemesis of corpse demons was fully realized.
Because of the delay, everyone decided to stay overnight at the Yuema Inn and set off early the next morning.
At night, Gandalf took the initiative to introduce a strange man to Dui: "Dui, this is a ranger friend of mine. He just came from the Barrow-Downs and wanted to visit you specially."
Ranger? Dui looked him over.
This was a tall, handsome man with black hair and gray eyes, about thirty years old. He was wearing a black cloak, a pair of long leather boots, a bow on his back, and a long sword at his waist.
The man's voice was deep and powerful, his grey eyes showing a trace of age. "I've heard of your name a long time ago, the tree feller, the nemesis of the corpse demons, the black-robed wizard Duyle. I'm Alpha, and it's an honor to meet you!"
Chapter 48 The Dúnedain
Dui looked him up and down, thoughtfully.
"Are you of the Dúnedain?"
Surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that someone still knew about us."
"I also heard that there is a group of rangers in the Eriador Wasteland who are secretly maintaining peace in the area."
Dewi naturally knew about the Dunedain, who were descendants of the former Numenoreans and possessed strength and lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people.
But this Dunedain ranger wanted to find him. Could it be that he was looking for trouble because he led people to rob his ancestors' tombs?
He remembered that these northern Dunedain were the remnants of the former Kingdom of Arnor, and their ancestors were buried in the Barrow-Downs.
"I wonder what you want from me?"
Dewi did not believe that the Dúnedain was merely visiting him.
Alpha didn't beat around the bush. "I heard that Wizard Duir has some ancient swords that you obtained from the wights. Could you show them to me?"
As long as the tomb robbery was not the issue, Dui readily agreed. After getting rid of the corpse demon, Dui not only gained gold, silver, and jewelry, but also the corpse demon's ancient swords.
After getting an ancient corpse sword, Alpha looked at the sword carefully, and then returned it to Dui reluctantly.
"This sword was forged using the lost art of Númenor forging. Even after thousands of years, its sharpness remains undiminished. Furthermore, the blade bears the mark of the nobility of Arnor. I believe it must have belonged to a noble of the Kingdom of Arnor."
Alpha made a request: "The art of Númenorian forging has been lost, and we have been trying to trace its origins. Wizard Duir, are you willing to trade us a few ancient swords? You can make your request, and we will do our best to meet it!"
Dui has been worrying about how to deal with these ancient corpse swords these days, and now Alpha's request is exactly what he wants.
He thought about it and immediately nodded and said, "I have dozens of ancient swords in my hand, I can give them all to you."
Alpha was delighted when he heard this. He originally wanted to be satisfied with trading a few ancient swords from Dui, but he didn't expect that Dui was willing to give them all, which made him very happy.
He quickly said, "Wizard Duyle, if you have any requests, we will satisfy you as long as we can!"
"You Dúnedain have traveled far and wide, so you must be knowledgeable. I would like you to help me collect various herbs from Middle-earth, especially those that contain magical powers. It would be best if they are alive."
Hearing Dui's request, Alpha was a little surprised and said hesitantly:
"Don't worry, Wizard Duir, we will do our best to help you collect the herbs, but these things may take time..."
Dui waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. As long as you can help me collect as many herbs as possible, that's all I need."
Hearing this, Alpha breathed a sigh of relief and agreed immediately.
So a deal was made in the inn.
Both sides were happy. Alpha obtained enough ancient swords of the wights, and had the opportunity to trace the lost forging techniques of Númenor from the ancient swords and restore the former glory of the Dunedain.
Dui was able to use the power of the Dunedain to obtain more herbs from Middle-earth.
Herbs are the basis of potions, but many of the magical herbs in the Harry Potter world do not exist in Middle-earth.
Dui planned to first collect herbs from Middle-earth, and then after accumulating enough knowledge of potions and herbal medicine, he would find substitute herbs and copy all the magical potions one by one.
After completing the transaction, Alpha left the town overnight with dozens of ancient corpse swords he had just obtained.
Dui and others stayed at the Leaping Horse Inn for one night and set off again early the next morning.
But what left Dui speechless was that among the supplies replenished by the dwarves, almost half was wine.
----
It's another moonlit night.
Everyone camped in the wilderness, and Dui once again used his Transfiguration magic to create tents and sleeping bags.
When most people fell asleep, Dui came outside the tent, poured out a bag of moonstones and placed it in the moonlight.
Then he drew his wand and tapped each moonstone with it as if counting them.
As the wand continues to tap, magic power is continuously injected into the moonstone through the wand.
Moonstone is a good magic storage medium. After being injected with magic, the moonstone emits a light blue fluorescence and begins to slowly absorb moonlight.
In the following days, Dui took out the moonstone every night and placed it under the moon to dry.
This needs to continue until the next full moon night.
The people who were traveling with him naturally noticed Dui's behavior, but since Dui didn't explain, they didn't dare to ask.
The group had no trouble along the way and soon arrived at Fengyunding.
Weathertop is the highest and southernmost mountain in the Weather Hills, adjacent to the main east-west road. It is called Amon Sul in Sindarin, meaning "Hill of the Wind".
Weathertop was once an important frontier fortress in the Northern Kingdom of Arnor. The Númenóreans built a huge watchtower on Weathertop to house the largest and most powerful Palantir, the Amon Sul, in order to monitor the entire Eriador region and communicate with other Palantirs.
However, as the Kingdom of Arnor split and weakened, in 1409 of the Third Age, the Witch-king of Angmar sent troops to besiege Weathertop, and the Tower of Amon Sul was destroyed and razed to the ground. The Crystal of True Knowledge stored in the tower was unfortunately lost in the shift of war and sank to the bottom of the sea.
For more than a thousand years thereafter, the Tower of Amon Sul has never been rebuilt, and only a circle of circular stone walls remains, telling of its former glory.
Dui wanted to try to sign in at Fengyunding, so he suggested staying there for one night.
No one had any objection to Dui's proposal.
Arriving at the ruins of Amon Zul'tar, Gandalf looked at the ruins before him, his eyes filled with memories. He sighed and said, "The grandeur of Amon Zul'tar is still vivid in my mind, but time flies, and now I can no longer see the scene I once saw!"
After hearing Gandalf's recollection, Bilbo asked curiously, "Gandalf, have you seen the Tower of Amon Sul?"
Gandalf nodded and recalled, "The Tower of Amon Sul was magnificent and tall, a thousand feet high, rising into the clouds. It was the tallest tower in all Eriador. The Stone of True Knowledge, housed within it, could be seen from the edge of the wastes a thousand miles away."
1000 feet? Dui was surprised. That was equivalent to a height of more than 300 meters, which was as high as a hundred-story building in his previous life!
The dwarves were also very surprised. Building such a high building was a huge project for them who were good at construction.
But soon Dui no longer had the heart to sigh, because the system finally responded.
[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating Windcloud Peak, do you want to sign in?]
"Sign in." Dui said silently in his heart.
Chapter 49: Tower of Amon Sul
[Successful sign-in, congratulations on receiving the "Invisibility Book of Invisibility"! ]
Looking at the magic book in front of him that only he could see, Dui was able to check it calmly in front of everyone.
However, when he saw the contents of the book, Dui couldn't help but feel happy.
"The Invisibility of Invisibility" records various invisibility magics, including the Invisibility Charm that makes objects transparent, the Disillusionment Charm that blends into the surrounding environment like a chameleon, the Concealment Charm that hides the body and even conceals the breath and magical fluctuations, the Confusion Charm that interferes with other people's thinking and perception, and the Shielding Charm including the Muggle-Repelling Charm.
It can be said that the invisibility techniques recorded in the book cover all aspects of invisibility, from visual interference to interference with thinking and perception, etc. It is an encyclopedia about invisibility techniques.
Dui took a quick look at the table of contents and put the book away.
Now is not the time to study the contents of the book.
"Duil, please use your magic to conjure up a tent and a comfortable bed. I want to sleep!"
Bombur, the sleepy and fat dwarf, yawned, interrupting Dewy's thoughts.
The others also looked at him expectantly.
Thanks to Dui's transformation magic, no one has suffered much these days. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and no one wants to sleep in the wilderness with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.
Being stared at by everyone, Dui smiled and was about to agree.
But looking at the ruins around him, he suddenly had a somewhat unreliable idea.
He wanted to try to use the repair spell to repair the damaged tower?
The more he thought about it, the more eager he became to try it out. He immediately shouted to everyone, "Everyone, get out of here first!"
Everyone was confused, but under Dui's command, they left the range of the tower ruins and stopped after they were a certain distance away. Then they looked at Dui with confusion and curiosity.
After making sure that no one would be affected, Dui stood in front of the broken wall and waved his wand.
"Recover as before!"
Magic power continued to flow out of the wand.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, it seemed as if time had reversed, and the surrounding broken walls and ruins automatically repaired and grew under the influence of an invisible force.
Dui didn't know whether his magic power had the concept of a health bar, but at this moment he felt that he was too arrogant.
Restoring such a magnificent building requires a strong enough spiritual will to leverage greater magic.
But at this moment he was like an ant trying to move something that was a hundred or a thousand times heavier than himself.
He was already exhausted before he could even repair half of the thousand-foot tower and couldn't continue casting spells!
Just when Dui thought he was about to give up halfway, a familiar and powerful force surged into his body, and his exhausted spirit instantly recovered to its peak, and he became full of energy.
"Don't be distracted, keep casting the spell!" Gandalf's voice came from behind.
He appeared behind Dui at some point, with one hand on Dui's shoulder. On the finger, only Dui and he could see the ruby ring, which was shining with warm light.
