Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

Moreover, tobacco from Changgu Town is sold all over the place and is favored by dwarves, rangers, tourists, etc.

For example, the grey-robed wizard Gandalf is a loyal fan of Long Valley tobacco and never puts down his cigarette.

The hobbits in Longvale are even more laid-back than those in Hobbiton.

In front of the houses you pass by, you can always see three or two hobbits smoking pipes and basking in the sun.

Even the women were smoking pipes.

Seeing Dui, a stranger who was obviously not a Hobbit, he just looked at him curiously without any intention of probing or questioning too much.

Driving into the town in a carriage,

When we arrived at the square in the center of the town, the system responded.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating the Shire-Hanggu Town. Do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

[Successful sign-in. Congratulations on receiving the first-year Herbology textbook, "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Fungi"!]

Dui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the reward for signing in this time would be a herbal medicine textbook.

This made him a little disappointed.

After all, herbology is a course that mainly teaches people to recognize and cultivate magical herbs, and it cannot bring him any increase in strength.

More importantly, this is the herbology knowledge of the Harry Potter wizarding world, many of which are unique.

Dui expressed doubt as to whether it could be found in Middle-earth.

However, when he opened the herbal medicine textbook, his eyes lit up.

Herbology, a required course at Hogwarts, is the study of magical and common plants and fungi.

Students need to learn to care for and utilize plants, and understand their magical properties and applications.

It is a subject closely related to Potions.

Dewy originally thought that "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" was just a popular science book introducing magical plants.

But what surprised him was that in addition to introducing magical plants and how to care for them, the book also contained methods to cultivate ordinary plants into magical plants!

For example, the white savory essence commonly used in the magic world is extracted from the white savory plant.

It can quickly heal wounds and is a common household potion. When Ron was separated during Apparition, it was Hermione who healed him with Dittany Essence.

The Dictamnus plant is not a rare plant. It is also common in the Muggle world and is used as medicine.

The reason why the white safflower essence in the magical world can have magical healing effects is that wizards can cultivate ordinary white safflower plants into medicinal herbs with magical properties.

Moreover, the herbs in the magical world can basically find corresponding plants in the ordinary world. The only difference between the two is whether they have magical properties.

This step requires cultivation based on herbal knowledge.

According to the book, there are two ways to grow magical plants: natural and artificially cultivated.

Natural magical plants generally grow in places with rich magical energy, such as the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.

There are several types of artificial cultivation. The simplest one is to collect the feces of magical animals such as fire dragons and moon beasts. Ordinary plants will have a high chance of transforming into magical plants after absorbing the feces.

Secondly, using potions for cultivation is a quick way to achieve results and a high transformation rate. The only limitation is that you need to know how to make potions and consider the cost of the potions.

The third method is for wizards to use magic power to water and cultivate.

However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the yield is low. Few wizards are willing to spend a lot of magic power just to grow a few plants.

Therefore, the third training method has basically been eliminated by the magic world.

However, for Dui now, this third method is the most suitable for him.

After all, if he wants to make potions in the future, he will definitely need magical herbs.

Originally, Dui planned to leave after signing in at Changgu Town, but the emergence of herbalism made him change his mind.

Changgu Town is not only good at growing tobacco leaves, but also has a very developed tobacco trade.

Dewy went to a tobacco shop and bought a large pack of Bilbo's favorite tobacco, "Longleaf".

"Boss, do you know where I can buy live white peony?" Dui asked the shop owner.

"What do you want Baixian for? No one wants it even if you give it away." The boss looked at him strangely, but based on the business philosophy of customer first, he still gave him some advice.

"If you really want it, you can go to the valley in the shade of the hills to the east. It's full of these plants there."

"I see, thank you for the information."

……

When Dui left Changgu Town, there was a pack of tobacco and two pots of white wine in his carriage.

The white mulberry is still in the stage of sprouting out of the soil, and it looks a little wilted because it was just transplanted from the mountains.

Next stop, Dui's destination was Frogton in the eastern district of the Shire.

Wazetun is close to East-West Avenue and right next to the Brandywine River, but it is a bit far away.

So Dui spent the first night in the wild.

At midnight, the moon reaches its highest point.

Bathed in the moonlight, Dui reached out and gently pinched the tender buds of the white mulberry, then continuously transferred magic power into the white mulberry.

According to the cultivation method in the herbal textbook, he needs to use magic power to water the white mulberry at midnight every day when the moonlight is brightest, and wait until the white mulberry is fully mature before he can extract and make the white mulberry essence.

This is also the only potion that can be made without a wand and cauldron.

Nourished by Dui's magic, Baixian seemed to have regained some vitality and was no longer in a sluggish state.

But Dui understood that this was just the beginning.

In the next few months, he would need to water the white celery with magic power every day during the moonlit nights until it completely transformed and matured.

It is no wonder that people in the wizarding world have given up this method of cultivation. After all, compared with cultivating with magical animal feces and potions, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the yield is not great.

For example, a magic family that specializes in growing magical herbs calculates the amount of herbs they cultivate by the acre.

If we use magic power to water it, we won’t be able to grow so many herbs even if we drain all the magic power.

The carriage traveled all night and finally arrived at Wazetun at dawn.

Frogtown is close to the Brandywine River, with convenient water transportation. There is even a pier where you can take a boat to Buckland on the opposite bank.

After traveling all night, Dui was a little tired. After entering the town, he went straight to the Driftwood Inn to check in.

As the name suggests, the inn is an inn floating on the water and is a landmark building in Wazetun.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Location: Shire - Frogstown - Driftwood Inn. Do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in." Dui placed two pots of white mulberry on the windowsill of the guest room and said silently.

[Successful sign-in. Congratulations on receiving the first-year potions textbook, "Magical Medications and Potions"!]

Dui opened the potion book, looked at it, and then closed it again.

Although I can't say I'm disappointed, I can't use the Potions textbook at the moment.

In addition to the medicinal materials required for potion making, the most crucial step is stirring with a magic wand to produce the final product.

This is why, using the same materials, wizards can make magical potions, but Muggles can only produce a pool of black, smelly, and unknown liquid that is poisonous enough to kill people.

So if Dewi wanted to make a potion, he first needed a wand.

But the magic wand is far from what Dui can pursue now.

He didn't think that simply putting snake nerves into a stick would make a magic wand.

Otherwise, how could the Ollivander family have monopolized the wand-making business in the British wizarding world for a thousand years?

Chapter 9 Buckland

Dui did not stay in Frogzeton for long, and only rested for one night at the Driftwood Inn.

The next day, we took a boat from the pier to Buckland on the other side.

At the same time, he did not forget to bring the carriage and horses.

Buckland, lying between the east bank of the Brandywine and the Old Wood, was the eastern border of the Shire.

Most of the residents of Buckland are members of the Brandybuck family. Compared with other hobbits, they are more sturdy and powerful.

Perhaps because he lives near the old forest and faces more dangers, he is more tenacious and vigilant than other hobbits.

Moreover, they are one of the few Hobbits who wear shoes, and they are also the group that communicates the most with the outside world, especially the human town of Bree. Inevitably, their clothing and architectural style also have some human characteristics.

Dewi had heard Bilbo say that hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Hobbits of Buckland crossed the Brandywine River from the East District of the Shire and built Brandy Hall on Buck Mountain. As their family grew, Buckland gradually took shape.

Moreover, although Buckland nominally belongs to the Shire, it is actually more like an independent small country, ruled by the Brandybuck family and not under the control of the Shire.

After getting off the boat, Dui continued driving the carriage towards Buckstown, the capital of Bucksland.

Along the way, you can see that at the junction of the Buck Land and the Old Forest, there is a high hedge that stretches as far as the eye can see, separating the two places.

Speaking of this high fence, that’s another story.

It is said that the Hobbits originally established Buckland in the area between the east bank of the Brandywine River and the Old Wood, cut down some trees to build houses, and built high fences between their homes and the Old Wood.

This action caused dissatisfaction among the trees in the old forest.

Because the trees in the old forest are different from trees in other places, they are trees that can think and move.

The trees of the old wood had tried to get over the high hedges and invade the buckland.

The hobbits fought back by felling hundreds of trees and setting fire to the overgrowth, creating a woodland fire that made a large clearing between the hedge and the old wood.

This further deepened Old Lin's hostility towards the Hobbits, and the conflict between the two sides continued to escalate.

The trees of the old forest will attack passersby and make those who enter the forest lost;

The Hobbits of Buckland were full of fear and caution of the trees of the Old Wood, and never attempted to climb the hedge and enter it.

Dewy was very curious about the trees in the old forest.

Although he currently had no idea about wands, he knew that a wand was made up of two parts: the body and the core.

The wand core needs to be made of body parts of magical creatures such as phoenix tail feathers, dragon heart tendons, and unicorn hair.
