From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Walking in the Black Forest with the elves was obviously a completely different experience, especially since Ivy had been traveling with the dwarves not long ago.

The elves were quieter, calmer, and more orderly, as if the forest was their home. In fact, this forest was indeed their home for thousands of years.

Ivy did not see poisonous insects and evil beasts, and even the spider webs that always covered the jungle disappeared.

"The Silvan elves always prefer starlight, so we usually go into the forest to patrol in the early morning and evening. Over the years, dark things have gathered more and more in the forest, and our range of activities has been greatly reduced." Legolas walked beside Ivy to lead the way for him. They moved very fast, as if the forest provided all the necessary conditions for moving forward.

There are many specially prepared altars on the roads set by the elves. They will pray for the blessing of starlight when leaving the Black Forest to ensure a smooth journey. This time, Ivy will complete the intermediate ancient ritual of the beast bite sword on the north side of the Black Forest, near the dense forest river.

The altar was still surrounded by giant skeletons shaped like deer antlers, but this time Ivy did not see the mark of Sauron on the stone statue.

The main body of the altar was composed of a stone sculpture of an elf girl. She held up a stone basin with stars and moons carved on it in her hands. There were traces of burning flames in the stone basin. Ivy speculated that the elves might burn some herbs with special smells in it.

The elves who arrived at the altar with Ivy swept the dust on the stone sculpture and took away the fallen leaves piled around it.

Legolas placed special cakes and drinks on both sides of the altar, and placed the woven wreath on the stone basin held by the elf girl statue.

"Put the head of the Orc King on it, too, wizard." Legolas retreated to Ivy and said.

So Ivy inserted the beast bite sword in front of the girl's statue, and took the head of the Orc King wrapped in linen from the saddle bag next to the golden horn and placed it in the stone basin.

With a light snap of his fingers, pale blue flames ignited from the wreath at the bottom of the stone basin, re-igniting the charred head of the orc.

Legolas led the woodland elves in singing, with beautiful and melodious voices accompanied by flutes, harps and lutes.

Ivy heard the quiet wind passing through the Black Forest, bringing the elves natural harmony.

The lyrics were full of nostalgia for the great elven kingdom of Gondolin. Ivy heard the heroic battle scene of Turgon holding Gramdrin in the Battle of Tears, and also heard the crisis of the dark enemy sending Balrog to attack Gondolin, and more, the exiles' remembrance of the former king after the fall of Gondolin.

The elves sang for a long time, starting from the glory of Gondolin, until it fell under the betrayal of traitors, and even the birth of new hope nurtured from it, and finally sang about the exile Earendil wearing the Star of Hope and sailing away until it hung at the end of the western sky.

Ivy could feel that the connection between the Beast Bite Sword and himself became stronger in the singing. He silently opened the Destruction Grimoire and re-examined the properties of this ancient weapon.

Since Ivy and the Beast Bite Sword were in tune with the 14th-level [Scribe Mage/Ancient Fighter], all the abilities of the Beast Bite Sword before the 14th level could be unlocked after completing the intermediate ancient ritual.

At level 11, the Beast Bite Sword added a sacred attribute, which had the same effect as the blessed water of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

The 13th-level Beast Bite Sword gave Ivy an agility +4 attribute gain, and adjusted the primary attribute gain of level 9 to increase the movement speed by 10 feet. Moreover, the 13th-level Elf Agility ability will still change after the Beast Bite Sword unlocks the advanced ancient ability and Ivy's career level reaches level 16. The effect becomes to ignore difficult terrain, and you can jump forward at twice the speed on the treetops of the dense forest, or gain the ability of permanent jumping on flat ground. Moreover, when holding the Beast Bite Sword, Ivy will not leave footprints, nor will he sink into the snow due to his own weight.

After gaining the attribute buff of the Beast Bite Sword, Ivy now also has 20 points of agility, which means that his defense level and the number of opportunity attacks will be improved again. After all, attributes are the foundation of the foundation. What he didn't expect the most was that as a spellcaster, his agility as a physical attribute would reach 20 points before his charm as a spellcasting attribute. This is really unpredictable.

The level 14 ancient ability of the Beast Bite Sword is to increase the weapon enhancement bonus by two points, so it becomes a +4 enemy-breaking holy elf curved sword. If the three other additional attributes provided by the Sword Master [Arcane Enchantment] are counted, the Beast Bite Sword is an evil nemesis with sparks and lightning.

"What a beautiful song." Ivy exclaimed.

The elves' singing has stopped, but the wind blowing through the Black Forest still conveys the elves' voices.

"Have we helped you, wizard?" Legolas asked with a smile, "I seem to feel that the light on the Beast Bite Sword is brighter."

"That's not your illusion." Ivy pulled out the Beast Bite Sword from the altar, and the sharp blade flashed with a faint golden light, which was the symbol of it as a sacred weapon, "Now it is a veritable evil nemesis."

"Great." Legolas looked at the elegant arc of the Beast Bite Sword with admiration, because Ivy made a sword flower in his hand.

"Since it is already an evil nemesis, do you plan to try this weapon, wizard?" Legolas has not lost the vitality and sharpness of a young man, and is eager to see the power of this weapon.

A perfect poem, a post, a content, a 6-9 book, a forum, and a look!

"Why not?" Ivy had no reason to refuse the experience-boosting activity led by the guide. They had sufficient supplies and strong backup forces. Ivy only cared about how much experience he could get today.

"Spiders entrenched in the forest are everywhere, and we can't drive them out of the forest completely. Since the shadow of Dol Gudu began to spread, these spiders have appeared in the Great Forest together. Sometimes I really doubt whether these spiders entered our forest with the orcs. If we hadn't discovered that spiders would also prey on orcs, I'm afraid we would have started patrolling more frequently." Legolas was very talkative. He didn't look like a prince, but like a guide who knew the forest well.

"Spiders prey on orcs?" Ivy asked with great interest.

He remembered that the spider monsters in Middle-earth seemed to be more or less related to a big spider named Shelob, and the relationship between Shelob and Sauron was very subtle. They could be regarded as allies or enemies. Allies because both are dark creatures of Middle-earth, and enemies because the rise of Sauron hinders Shelob's meals, and it does not like to feed on orcs.

Legolas nodded: "Those spiders have occupied almost all the forests south of the Old Forest Road. Recently, we have even seen their webs near the kingdom. The darkness of Dol Guldur attracted some orcs there, but most of them ended up in the stomachs of spiders. Anyway, these spiders are really useful in dealing with orcs. However, using a large number of orcs as food on the spot also makes these big spiders reproduce rapidly in the forest. We have to launch sweeps from time to time to curb their numbers, but you can see, wizard, we are not very effective."
