Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

The staff itself is made from trees with magical properties.

As for how to distinguish whether a tree can be made into a wand, wand makers in the magical world usually only need to find trees that are parasitic with bowtruckles (magical creatures) and use the branches of these trees to make the wand body.

There are no magical creatures like the Bowtruckle in Middle-earth. If Dui wants to make his own wand in the future, he must first consider how to find wood that can be used to make a wand.

The trees in the old forest are different from ordinary trees. They can think and move, and have extraordinary properties.

Dui thought that the trees in this old forest might be used to make wand bodies.

Dui likes to plan ahead. He believes that as he signs in to more places, he will definitely be able to obtain the method of making magic wands in the future.

So before that, he needed to collect the materials for making the wand in advance.

The carriage went down the road along the banks of the Brandywine River, passed several Hobbit villages, and finally arrived at Bucktown, the capital of Buckland.

Dui got off the carriage and looked up at the Bucks Town in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Bucktown is located on Buck Mountain on the banks of the Brandywine River. It is surrounded by a high and thick fence on the east side, and the entire mountain is a town.

Most Hobbit houses are made of wood.

Only in the very center and the highest point is the giant traditional Hobbit building - Smial's House, which is hollowed out of a hill.

It is the landmark building of Buckstown - Brandy Hall, and the residence of the Brandybuck family.

After entering the town, Dui did not choose to go to the inn, but took out a piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

"Well, let me see, No. 35, Ferry Road..."

After reading the note, Dui walked forward muttering to himself, occasionally looking at the house numbers he passed by.

Eventually his carriage stopped in front of a traditional Smithy house.

"No. 35 Ferry Road, this is it!"

Dui got out of the car, pushed open the gate, walked to the round green wooden door and knocked.

"Here it comes!" a voice came from the room.

The door is opened,

A young hobbit with curly brown hair popped his head out and looked at him suspiciously.

"who are you?"

Dui bent down to try to be eye-level with the other person, and greeted him with a smile.

"Excuse me, Mr. Drogo Baggins? I am the wizard Doile, and I have the honor of visiting you on behalf of Bilbo Baggins."

Hearing Dewy's words, Drogo Baggins showed a look of realization on his face.

"I know you! Bilbo wrote to me not long ago and told me that you might come to Buckland. Please come in!"

As she said this, she moved aside and warmly welcomed him in.

Drogo Baggins's home was somewhat similar in decoration to Bilbo's Bag End, and Dewy bent down carefully to avoid hitting the roof beams and chandeliers.

As soon as they sat down, Drogo Baggins served them biscuits and desserts.

During this time, Drogo asked Dewy about Bilbo's recent situation.

Drogo and Bilbo are cousins. Although they are not in the same place, they have a close relationship and occasionally communicate through letters.

More importantly, Dui also knew Zhuo Guo's other identity.

That is, he is the father of Frodo Baggins, the future bearer of the One Ring.

However, Drogo was not married at that time, so there was no sign of Frodo, the future protagonist.

In the subsequent conversation, Zhuo Guo learned that Dui had been to Dadong Town, Take Town, Changgu Town, and Wazetun, and his eyes showed envy and yearning.

Hobbits don't like to go out, and even within the Shire, there is not much communication between villages and towns.

In order to listen to Dui's experiences on the road, Zhuo Guo immediately invited Dui to stay.

In the following days, Dui lived in Zhuoguo's house, and with Zhuoguo's introduction, he met the owner of the Buck Deer Land, the head of the Brandy Deer family.

And successfully completed the check-in at the Brandy Hall.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Located in the Shire - Bucksland - Brandy Hall. Do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

[Successful sign-in. Congratulations on receiving the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook, "Dark Forces: A Guide to Defense"!]

"Dark Forces: A Guide to Defense" mainly introduces various dark creatures in the magical world, such as werewolves, red hats, etc. It also includes some defensive spells, including the Repulse Spell, Petrification Spell, Disarming Spell, Obstacle Spell, Stop Spell, and Armor Spell.

Dui was very happy to get such a harvest.

Although these spells tend to be defensive in nature, they are all very practical. If you can master them, they can greatly enhance your strength and defense!

Chapter 10: First Exploration of the Old Forest

Early in the morning, a figure came to the high hedge wall outside Bucks Town.

The Hobbits of Buckland were full of fear and vigilance towards the Old Wood. They had been taught from childhood how dangerous the Old Wood was, so few of them would approach the High Hedge.

Hundreds of years ago, the Hobbits of Buckland had fortified their eastern lands with a hedgerow to protect them from the trees of the old wood.

Now the hedges have grown so high and thick that they resemble a mighty wall, stretching from the Brandywine all the way around the Willow River to the end of the hedge, forming a great arc for more than twenty miles.

Dui walked for several miles along the high hedge, but could not find a gap in the hedge that could be passed.

And I can't turn over.

There was no other choice, so Dui had to draw out the two bone-cutting knives from his waist.

The bone-chopping knife flew out of his hand and turned into two flying and rotating flying knives, which kept cutting at a certain position on the hedge.

In an instant, broken leaves and branches flew everywhere.

A hole was dug deeper and deeper in the hedge wall.

Finally, the cave entrance was opened.

A hole several meters deep, wide enough for one person to pass through, appeared. From the hole, one could see the old forest across the way.

Dui crawled through the cave.

There was a buffer strip of 100 feet wide between the hedge wall and the old woods, where no trees grew except weeds, as if the trees of the old woods were to be avoided.

Dui kicked the ground and could vaguely see traces of burning.

It seems that the Hobbits in Buckland and Old Forest had a fierce battle in the past, and even had to use fire to force back the attack of Old Forest's trees.

Stepping across the buffer zone, Dui came to the edge of the old forest and walked straight in without stopping.

Once you step into the woods,

Dui felt a sense of oppression.

It was as if there were countless pairs of eyes around him, looking at him with malice and unfriendliness.

He looked in the direction of his sight and finally landed on those ancient trees.

These trees look like they have lived for a long time. They are tall and big, with branches that are bared and swaying. You can vaguely hear whispers, as if they are discussing some conspiracy.

Dui seemed not to notice on the surface, but he was secretly alert and vigilant, and used magic power to constantly sense the surrounding trees.

Suddenly, a thick branch fell and hit Dui on the head.

"Armor protection!"

Dui reacted quickly, and an invisible shield appeared above his head, blocking the falling branches.

Since obtaining "Dark Forces: A Guide to Defense", the first spell that Dui chose to practice was the Iron Shield Spell. The Iron Shield Spell can block most spell attacks and all physical attacks. It can be said to be the most practical spell to save lives.

But this spell is quite difficult. Some seventh-year students at Hogwarts may not be able to master it, let alone Dui who has no wand.

Dui also practiced day and night for a whole month before he was able to successfully cast the Iron Armor Spell.

As soon as I learned the Iron Armor Spell, I went to the old forest to practice it.

Seeing that the attack missed, the originally silent trees around became agitated, and the branches and leaves moved without wind, making a rustling sound.

Dui felt the surrounding trees' growing hostility towards him, and he no longer held back.

The two bone-cutting knives on his waist flew out instantly, selecting the largest oak and pine branches respectively, cutting off two straight branches as thick as wrists, and controlling the branches to bring them back.

If he didn't run now, when would he run? Dui immediately turned around and ran out of the woods with the branch.

The oak and pine trees whose branches had been cut off were enraged by this action. They let out a dull growl, and their entire huge bodies twisted, and the dry bark fell off, revealing thick branches.

The ground shook and the soil arched up like a dragon turning over. Thick tree roots broke out of the ground, trying to trip or hit him.

"Oh my god, you're so angry? It's just a branch. You're so stingy!"

Dui complained as he ran, two bone-cutting knives flying around him, chopping off the attacking tree roots one by one.

But when faced with a huge tree root as thick as a bucket, the bone-chopping knife was useless and could not be used to cut it in one stroke.

"Stand stiff and stop dead!"

The spell hit the tree roots, causing them to stiffen and involuntarily tangle together, forming an inseparable root ball that could no longer pose a threat to Dui.

Dui was delighted. He didn't expect the leg-locking spell to be so effective that it could even lock the tree roots.

Dui did not want to fight any longer. While the two trees were busy with their own affairs, he left the old forest quickly without looking back, crossed the buffer zone, and went through the hole in the hedge wall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the oak and pine branches in his hands, Dui grinned. Although he felt a little regretful that he couldn't sign in, he was still able to get the spare materials for the wand, which was still a gain.

After covering up the hole in the hedge a little, he returned to Buckstown with the branch.

Back at Drogo Baggins's house, Dewy borrowed tools from Drogo and began to process the branches. He peeled off the bark, cut off the excess parts, and polished them carefully. Finally, two straight and smooth sticks were placed in front of him.

Picking up an oak stick that wasn't really a wand at all, Dui tried to inject magic into it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he smiled.

Magic flows smoothly through the stick, and apart from a slight sluggishness, it is completely suitable for making wands.

Putting down the oak, he picked up the pine wood and tried to inject magic into it.

Pine wood can also channel magic power, but it has a stronger sense of blockage than oak.

This means that the trees in the old forest can be used to make the body of the magic wand!

This conclusion made Dui very excited. Although he didn't know how to make a magic wand yet, the appearance of the wand body material gave him hope.
