Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

His face instantly felt hot, and he was worried that Elrond would think it was his idea.

Magic gems were so precious that even if he made a thousand wands for Rivendell, they probably wouldn't be worth as much as the magic gems. Furthermore, he was only making two wands for the elves.

However, what relieved Dui was that Elrond did not feel that the transaction was unfair, nor was he angry.

Instead, he shook his head.

"Unfortunately, the Valley does not have the habit of collecting gems, so there are no magic gems you want here."

"But I remember Lady Galadriel in Lothlórien has a collection of several precious gems. I will contact Lady Galadriel and tell her about your request. As for whether she will agree, I cannot guarantee it."

Then his gaze turned to Gandalf who was standing beside him.

"But considering what you said, Gandalf, and your relationship with Lady Galadriel, there should be a good chance of obtaining the magic gem."

Gandalf nodded when he heard this, indicating that he was willing to do his part.

After discussing the wand, Elrond turned the topic to the dwarves.

Although Thorin and the dwarves tried to conceal the purpose of this expedition, they could not hide it from the eyes of Elrond, who had experienced countless years.

Gandalf had no intention of hiding the secret from Elrond, so he sent for Thorin and wanted to give the map to Elrond to decipher.

"Our affairs have nothing to do with the elves..." Even at this time, Thorin was still unwilling to show the map to Elrond. He was still full of hostility and distrust towards the elves.

Gandalf was a little angry when he saw this.

"For goodness sake, Thorin, put aside your dwarven stubbornness and show the map to Lord Elrond."

"This is the heritage of my people, and I should protect it, including the secrets contained within it." Thorin refused stubbornly.

"Don't bother with me with your stubborn dwarf temper. Your pride will eventually bring you down!" Gandalf said firmly. "The man before you is one of the few in Middle-earth who can read that map. Show him the map."

Thorin raised his head, looked grimly, and stood with Gandalf in a stalemate, neither of them giving in.

Dewi and Elrond stood by silently, watching quietly.

In the end, Thorin lowered his head, took out the map from his arms and handed it to Elrond.

Elrond didn't care about Thorin's attitude. He took the map and looked at it carefully.

Chapter 67 Galadriel

As one of the wisest elves in Middle-earth, deciphering the information on a map was a piece of cake for Elrond. He recognized at a glance that the text on the map was the ancient code of the dwarves - the moon language, and knew how to interpret it.

"The moon writing can only be seen in moonlight, and must meet the waxing and waning and seasons, and must be exactly consistent with the moon phase on the day it was written," Elrond explained.

"These words were written on a midsummer night, by the light of a crescent moon, nearly two hundred years ago."

"Your visit to Rivendell seems destined," Elrond said, looking at Thorin. "Fate favors you, Thorin Oakenshield. It is this same moonlight that shines down tonight."

Elrond led everyone to a crystal stone platform and placed the map on it. The moonlight refracted, revealing the moon words on the map.

"Stand by the grey rock while the thrush strikes, and the sun goes down, and the last ray of Durin's Day falls upon the keyhole."

After hearing the information decrypted and translated by Elrond, Thorin no longer cared about being arrogant. He frowned and thought about the information given by the map.

The information given by the map is very clear. They need to reach the Lonely Mountain on Durin's Day, and then use the key to open the entrance to the Lonely Mountain when the last ray of light on Durin's Day shines on the keyhole, so as to enter the Lonely Mountain.

Having obtained the method to enter the Lonely Mountain, Thorin could not wait to set off, determined to reach the Lonely Mountain before Durin's Day.

But Gandalf said he would stay in Rivendell for a few more days.

Because he summoned the members of the White Council to discuss how to deal with the appearance of the Witch-king of Angmar and the appearance of the Necromancer in Dol Guldur.

Thorin was very dissatisfied with this. He only wanted to retake Lonely Mountain and didn't care about anything else.

So he was ready to leave Gandalf behind and lead everyone out of Rivendell and continue on their journey.

As for Dui, he had been staying with Elrohir and Elladan these past few days. Under the guidance of these two elven brothers, he visited the garden, library, forge and other places, and also met the future King Elessar - Aragorn.

However, Aragorn at this time was just a little kid about ten years old, and his name was not even this, but the elf name Estel, which means "hope". He was raised by Elrond.

Looking at the little brat who was as close to Elrohir and Elladan as a brother, Duey couldn't help but think of their sister Arwen who lived far away in Lothlórien.

I wonder if these two brothers would still be so close if they knew that it was him who married their sister Arwen and even made Arwen give up the eternal life of an elf?

As the White Society meeting is about to be held,

When Dewi thought he would leave with the dwarves, Gandalf came to him first and wanted to take him to the White Council meeting.

"Gandalf, isn't this somewhat inappropriate?"

After all, he is not a member of the White Society, so why would he attend this meeting?

Gandalf shook his head. "You must be present at this meeting, and there are some things that require you to prove them with me, so that they will be more convincing."

Seeing Gandalf's insistence, Dewi no longer refused.

It just so happened that he also wanted to meet the members of the White Society. After all, each of them was a big shot, and it was a rare opportunity for them to get together.

On a moonlit night, in a garden at the highest point of the valley.

Dewi followed Gandalf to the stone pavilion in the garden.

The first thing I saw was a tall, incredibly beautiful elf standing in the moonlight, emitting a hazy light all over her body, with a noble and elegant temperament.

She was dressed in a gorgeous white robe, with long, bright golden hair shining with silver light falling like a waterfall. Her eyes were bright and deep, revealing wisdom and mystery, as if she could see into people's hearts.

"Mithrandir."

Seeing Gandalf, a smile appeared on her face, and everything around her seemed to become brighter.

"Countless years have passed."

"Lady Galadriel."

Gandalf nodded and praised: "Time may have changed me, but it cannot change the Lady of Lórien."

Lady Galadriel's smile widened, her beauty more dazzling than the moon in the sky.

Dui was also shocked by Galadriel's beauty. She was the most beautiful elf he had ever seen. She had surpassed human understanding of beauty. Her every frown and smile was full of incomparable attraction.

But looking at Galadriel, who was smiling brightly because of Gandalf's praise.

If he didn't know that the other person was married, he would have doubted their relationship.

But just as he thought of this, the elf lady opposite him turned her gaze as if she had sensed something and looked at Dui.

Facing those eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Dui's heart skipped a beat. He quickly cleared his mind and bowed to the other party to avoid those penetrating gazes.

Gandalf, standing by, took the initiative to introduce Dui: "Lady Galadriel, this is my companion Dui, the black-robed wizard Dui. I cannot match his magical talent and attainments."

"Greetings to you, Lady Galadriel, may the light of the stars always shine for you!" Dui saluted solemnly again.

"A black-robed wizard?" Galadriel looked at him curiously and inquiringly.

"Young wizard, why don't you dare look me in the eye?" a voice suddenly echoed in Dui's mind. Galadriel, standing opposite him, remained silent, her eyes revealing a profound expression.

[Could it be that you have a secret in your heart that you don’t want me to see? ]

Telepathy? Dui was instantly shocked.

After confirming that the other party was speaking to him telepathically, he quickly tried to say in his mind, "Of course not, Lady Galadriel. I just can't look directly into your beautiful eyes. They are like the brightest star in the sky, Earendil, scorching my eyes."

Could he say that he was just talking about her and Gandalf's relationship and was afraid that she would find out?

Then raise your head, look the other person directly in the eye, and try to make your expression more sincere.

Galadriel's smile on the opposite side deepened, as if she was pleased by Dui's praise.

[You have a silver tongue, cunning young wizard.]

Galadriel seemed to have teased Dui enough and stopped talking to him telepathically.

"Young wizard, when you have completed this journey, you are welcome to visit Lórien."

Then, in Dui's surprised eyes, he stretched out a slender hand towards him, opened his palm, and revealed an emerald green gem that emitted light.

"This is?"

"This is the Elessar Gem, also known as the Elven Gem. It contains the sun's light and can be used as the core of a staff."

"This is really too valuable!" Dui was a little hesitant to accept it. He could feel the powerful magic contained in the gem. If it was used to make a staff, it would definitely make a powerful staff.

And he remembered that this gem was finally given to Aragorn by Galadriel as a dowry for Arwen and a gift for Aragorn to become king.

We just met, and you gave me such a precious magic gem?

Even for the sake of Elrond and Gandalf, it wouldn't be necessary, right?

After all, he saw that Gandalf and Elrond were both surprised, and they obviously did not expect Galadriel to give them this gem.

"Take it." Galadriel's voice was gentle, but with an irresistible power.

When Dui came to his senses, the gem was already in his palm, emitting a power as warm as the sun.

"But I also have a condition." Galadriel said.

"What conditions?"

Dui immediately looked up, and when he heard the request, he felt a little relieved.

"I need you to make a wand for Arwen."

Chapter 68: White Society

What kind of requirement is this?

Dui was speechless.

Exchanging a magic wand for an elf gem, what's the difference between this and giving it away for free?

Then, in front of Dewi's surprised eyes, Galadriel gently cut the hair with her hand, and a strand of bright golden hair emitting silver light fell into her hand.

"Elrond told me the ingredients needed for a wand. These will serve as the core materials for Arwen and the others' wands."

Dui took the strand of hair and felt the stars shining in his hands.

It is truly worthy of being the hair that even Fëanor, the creator of the Silmarils, once requested as a gift. As a light elf who had bathed in the glory of the Two Trees and the most powerful elf in Middle-earth, even a few strands of his hair carried extraordinary power.

Dewi was surprised and delighted. There were five strands of hair in total, three of which could be used to make wands for Elrohir, Elladan, and Arwen.

Of the remaining two, one can be used to make Gandalf's wand.
