Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

Elrond looked complicated and nodded.

"This sword, or rather this dagger, is indeed of remarkable origin, for it once belonged to Glorfindel, Lord of the Golden Flower of Gondolin."

"You mean this dagger is the one that killed the Balrog?" Gandalf was also very surprised when he heard this.

Elrond nodded, then told everyone the origins of the dagger.

Glorfindel was a noble of the Noldor elves and the lord of the Golden Flower family, one of the twelve families of Gondolin. In the year 510 of the First Age, Gondolin was attacked by Morgoth. The enemy laid a tight net and sent out a large army including a large number of fire dragons, Balrogs, wolves and orcs.

Gondolin fell, and only a very small number of residents escaped. They passed through a place called Eagle's Crack, where they were ambushed by orcs and Balrogs.

Glorfindel fought the Balrog alone, allowing the others to escape. He struggled with the Balrog, was caught by its whip of fire and dragged off a cliff. As he fell, he stabbed the Balrog in the stomach with his dagger, killing him, and then died on the cliff.

And Bilbo's dagger is the dagger that once stabbed Glorfindel to death.

Everyone who heard the news was very surprised, and their eyes looked at the dagger in Bilbo's hand differently.

Dewi was also very surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that Bilbo's Sting sword had such an extraordinary origin.

What’s even more interesting is that Glorfindel, the former owner of this dagger, now lives in Rivendell and is one of the few most powerful elves in Rivendell.

That's right, Glorfindel is not dead.

Or rather, he was reborn.

After Glorfindel killed the Balrog, he also fell, but he received the grace of the gods and was reborn soon after. He was sent to Middle-earth like the five wizards to assist the High King of the Noldor Gil-galad and Elrond in fighting against the growing power of Sauron.

So now comes the interesting part.

The dagger's previous owner and current owner are both in Rivendell. Should it be returned to its original owner, Glorfindel, or will it continue to belong to its current owner, Bilbo?

Even Elrond was troubled by this, and finally decided to ask Glorfindel for his opinion.

Chapter 64: Book of Spells

Glorfindel is tall and straight, with a handsome face, beautiful and dazzling golden hair, bright and sharp eyes, a voice as pleasant as music, wisdom between his brows, and a noble and elegant temperament. He looks more like a knowledgeable elf sage than a warrior.

As a high elf born in the Age of the Two Trees, bathed in the glory of the Two Trees, he exudes an angelic holy light.

He lived in seclusion in a secluded valley and seldom came out to meet guests. He mostly stayed in the library or his own palace.

Now, when he heard that the dagger he had lost had reappeared, the elf came out for once.

"Elrond."

"Mithrandir, long time no see."

Glorfindel greeted Elrond and Gandalf gracefully, his voice beautiful and melodious.

"Glorfindel, my friend, you shine as brightly as ever." Gandalf also greeted him happily, obviously familiar with the Lord of the Golden Flower.

Everyone was shocked by the brilliance of the reborn elf, even the dwarves fell silent.

Dewi also looked at Glorfindel in amazement.

Not much is said about this elf in the original novel, but he was reborn after his glorious death in the First Age. His strength and ability are equal to those of the Maia, making him arguably one of the most powerful elves in Middle-earth.

If he, like Gandalf and other Maiar, had not been forbidden to use powerful strength and could only assist the forces of Middle-earth to fight against Sauron's dark forces, Sauron would probably not have been able to jump around for so long.

After exchanging greetings with Gandalf, Glorfindel turned his gaze to Bilbo, mainly to the dagger in his hand.

"May I see it?"

"Uh... of course!" Bilbo handed over the dagger somewhat at a loss.

Glorfindel took the dagger, his eyes filled with memories and sadness.

"I thought it had fallen into the abyss along with the Balrog. I never thought I would see it again one day."

Seeing the uneasy Hobbit in front of him, a smile flashed in his eyes, and in the other's surprised expression, he returned the dagger.

"I have lost this dagger for countless years. Now that you have found it, it means that we are destined to be together. I hope it will be of use to you."

"Thank you." Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the dagger would be returned to its original owner, but he didn't expect the original owner to have no intention of taking it back.

The dagger was a gift from Dui, and he didn't want to lose it.

Glorfindel did not stay long at the banquet. After seeing the dagger he once used to see, he said goodbye and left.

Bilbo became the protagonist of the party and attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the dagger in his hand, which has a record of killing a fire demon and is also the weapon of the famous Golden Flower Lord Glorfindel.

Everyone is very envious and jealous of the possession of such a magical weapon.

Dewi was also happy for Bilbo.

But what made him even happier was that his system finally responded.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating Rivendell, do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in." Dui said silently in his heart without any expression.

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on receiving the first edition of "Book of Spells"! ]

A thick spell book appeared before his eyes that only he could see.

The Book of Spells is another book of spells written by Miranda Goshawk, the author of the Hogwarts Charms textbook, The Standard Book of Spells series.

Or it can be said to be the predecessor of the "Standard Spells" series.

The Book of Spells records most of the spells in the magical world and can be called the encyclopedia of spells in the magical world.

Not only are there all the spells available in the market in the wizarding world, but there are also some evil curses.

This spell book was banned by the Ministry of Magic at the beginning of its publication, as the Ministry believed that many of the spells in the book were dangerous and unsuitable for publication.

Therefore, at the request of the Ministry of Magic, all the curses and some of the most offensive and destructive spells were deleted from the book, which eventually led to the creation of the "Book of Spells", which has been translated into 72 languages ​​around the world. It was then re-edited by Miranda Goshawk and divided into the "Standard Spells" series for Hogwarts grades one to seven.

Previously, Dui was somewhat limited when fighting enemies because the spells he mastered were more defensive in nature, and he could not kill the enemy with one blow.

Now that he had obtained the "Book of Spells", it felt like a blessing from heaven, instantly fulfilling what he needed.

Even for a long time afterwards, he didn't have to worry about running out of spells.

If he wasn't still at the banquet, he would have wanted to find a quiet place to study the contents of the spell book right away.

At this moment in the banquet, the dwarves, after drinking too much, completely exposed their true nature.

The dwarves disliked the soothing music played by the elves, saying it sounded like funeral music, so Bofur stood on the table and sang the dwarven songs loudly.

The other dwarves also clapped and cheered, and they banged various tableware, making all kinds of noises, and even picked up food and threw it at each other.

The sight of the group of demons dancing wildly made the surrounding elves look at each other in bewilderment.

Elrond, who was at the head of the group, frowned slightly, but his good upbringing prevented him from saying anything.

But Gandalf, who had just praised the dwarves for being descendants of Durin and for being noble, well-mannered and exceptionally well-educated, was embarrassed and looked as if he wished he didn't know them.

Dui was speechless at this moment. He just wanted to end the banquet quickly and learn the contents of the spell book as soon as possible before leaving the valley to make himself stronger.

After the feast, Gandalf and Elrond had something to discuss.

The dwarves got drunk and stayed in the banquet hall to entertain themselves.

Bilbo wanted to visit Rivendell.

Dui found a quiet terrace and seemed to be relaxing, but his eyes and attention were focused on the book of spells in front of him.

There are many spells in the book. In addition to basic and practical spells, advanced spells such as Exocamp and Untraceable Extension are also included.

What Dui was most concerned about was naturally the offensive spells and curses that were deliberately deleted by the Ministry of Magic.

Among offensive spells, Thunderbolt Explosion is a very powerful spell.

It can cause the cursed object to explode violently with a force equivalent to more than ten kilograms of TNT.

Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter used this spell to blow up an entire street in order to escape from Sirius Black.

There are also the Flying Sand and Rock Curse, the Crushing Curse, the Ten Thousand Arrows Curse, etc., which are all powerful offensive spells.

As for evil curses, from the small ones like the stinging curse, crazy nail growth curse, and bone swelling curse to the big ones like the gut-ripping curse and the extraction curse, they all belong to the category of black magic. If used properly, they can also produce different effects.

Dewy first picked out a spell that interested him: the Patronus Charm.

The Patronus Charm is a high-level white magic. The spell is "Expediate Patronus". It can summon a physical animal patronus and can restrain dark creatures such as Voldemort and Dementors.

There were no creatures like voldebats or dementors in Middle-earth, but the wights and the Ringwraiths he had encountered before were all dark creatures.

Dark creatures are naturally incompatible with white magic. Dui believes that if he masters the Patronus Charm, it will be much easier to deal with dark creatures like wights when he encounters them.

Chapter 65 Twin Elves

He carefully read the theory about the Patronus Charm in the book, and after he had almost understood it, he began to try to chant the spell.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

He tried to recall happy memories in his mind and waved his wand.

Silver mist spurted out from the tip of the wand, but it was always just a ball of silver mist, unable to take shape, and soon dissipated due to distraction.

Dui was not disappointed and chanted the spell again.

This time, more and more silver mist was ejected, gathering into a large ball of dazzling silver light, like a cocoon of light, as if something was gestating inside.

But perhaps because Dui didn't have enough happy memories, the physical image of the patron saint had not yet taken shape.

Dui removed the magic and paused to think again.

He thought he had thought of all the happy memories he could think of, but the patronus was taking so long to coalesce, which confused him.

Does the Patronus Charm require something besides happy memories?

"Patronus Charm, protect..." Dui's eyes lit up.

The Patronus Charm contains the word "protect", so when casting the spell, in addition to happy memories, one must also have a firm will to protect.

However, the book only stated that one needed to recall happy memories when casting a spell, which led him to overlook this obvious problem.

Having found an idea, Dui cast the Patronus Charm again without hesitation.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

Many happy memories kept flashing through his mind, some from his previous life and some from this life.
