From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

The mithril staff that Thorin and Gandalf gave to Ivy is a very powerful magic item.

Ivy calls it: the heart of the mountains, the friendship of the lonely mountain.

Because of its mithril texture, this staff is also regarded as a +3 light long reach mace or long stick, and when swinging it, Ivy will automatically gain proficiency with related weapons.

When it exists as a staff, it can strengthen any spell related to "earth element", "earth", "rock", and "dwarf".

And when Ivy stands on the ground with this staff, he will automatically gain the benefits of stone skin, and when fighting against any effect that makes the holder leave the ground, the holder can get a certain bonus. In addition, when certain benefits that only dwarves can use or obtain appear, Ivy holding the staff will be regarded as a qualified dwarf.

This staff also allows Ivy to use many earth-related spells without consumption.

Including three magic stone spells, two stone wall spells, two stone walk spells, and one earthquake spell per day.

While making dragon items in the Lonely Mountain these days, Ivy also took the time to study the evil spirits of Smaug that he had collected.

After his research, these evil spirits are no different from the fragments of Voldemort's soul. Perhaps because the Hall of Mandos does not accept those who join the dark, many dark undead in Middle-earth have no destination.

With the help of the specialty of [Dragonsmith], Ivy also made a spell book with the evil spirits and souls of the evil dragon.

It was an evil spell book written by the soul of the evil dragon, containing a lot of dragon knowledge.

Ivy named it [Secrets of the Evil Dragon], and the explanation given by the Destruction Grimoire is as follows.

It takes 8 hours a day to study and read [Secrets of the Evil Dragon] for 30 consecutive days. Once the research is completed, many secrets of the real dragon will be known to the reader, which will give the reader a +3 insight bonus to the dragon-related confrontation. In addition, the reader will also gain twilight vision and immunity to the sleep and paralysis effects of magic.

If the reader of [Secrets of the Dragon] has a Warlock level, he will also gain 1 point of Charisma and enough experience points to reach half of the next experience level, which must be used to upgrade the Warlock level.

Other characters who read this book carefully do not gain these effects, and any individual can only gain the benefits of this book once in his life.

So counting the accumulated experience points in several battles, Ivy successfully upgraded the professional level of [Splendid Warlock] to level 20.

And obtained a new professional feature - [Spell Resurrection].

The effect of [Spell Resurrection] is that Ivy can restore 4 spell points every time he completes a short rest.

As a 20th-level professional feature, it only has the effect of endurance, which is a bit too weak to be honest.

But the most powerful professional feature of [Splendid Warlock] has been obtained at level 18, so Ivy does not think that the 20th-level feature seems shabby, it is better to have it than not.

[Splendid Warlock] is Ivy's first profession to reach level 20. As he guessed at the beginning, level 20 is not the end, but a new beginning.

If Ivy upgrades the professional level of [Dazzling Warlock] again, then he will truly enter the legendary realm.

The experience points required to upgrade the legendary level are a considerable number. Ivy needs to gain another 200,000 experience points, which is equivalent to walking the road from level 19 to level 20 four times.

Looking at this huge amount of experience points, Ivy knows that it will be difficult for him to obtain the legendary level in a short time. However, there are still many possibilities waiting for him to explore in the multiverse. This time, Ivy only participated in the expedition to Lonely Mountain, which allowed Ivy to upgrade [Dazzling Warlock] from level 1 to level 20. Wouldn't he get more when he participates in the War of the Ring next time?

However, even if Ivy stays in Lonely Mountain, it will take almost a hundred years to wait for the war in Middle-earth.

According to the information Ivy got from Elrond, the Dunedain child he adopted was only 10 years old, and Aragorn, the emperor of men, was already over 80 years old when he ascended the throne. The time span in between is long enough for an earthling to grow old, get sick and die.

In addition to the staff, various dragon products and materials, and new professional characteristics, Ivy also gained a new expertise and a new professional level.

As a world born in the Great Music, Alda has a special preference for poetry, so Ivy's [Bard] profession is very special.

First of all, at level 1, Ivy obtained the core ability of the bard [Singing]. This ability does not simply refer to singing, but can also be playing, reciting poetry or dancing performances. In short, it is the way for the bard to communicate with magic.

By activating [Singing], the bards can bring quite a lot of magical abilities, including enhancing friendly units, casting spells with melodies, bewitching people, interfering with enemy magic, and causing sonic damage.

You can even give up the expertise position in exchange for the outstanding [Masterpiece]. As a wizard with unlimited part-time possibilities, Ivy's expertise is simply too many and can be used freely.

However, he has no time to study this new profession at the moment, so he can only explore it slowly in the future.

Another expertise worth mentioning is the [Words of Creation]. Ivy learned this expertise from Ilúvatar, the only god in the world of Arda. It can be said to be divine knowledge.

The [Word of Creation] is a mysterious language used to create the world, and it has incredible power.

After Ivy's research over this period of time, it was found that it can not only be combined with the [chanting] ability of the bard to double the effect.

It can also double the duration of spells with creative components, which is equivalent to a super magic effect that does not consume spell points.

And when Ivy applies the [Word of Creation] to item manufacturing, it can also reduce the experience points, money and time required to create items, and improve the effect of manufacturing items. This is too powerful for Ivy, who basically cannot buy equipment and must do it all by himself.

Ilúvatar, who shared the [Word of Creation] with Ivy, is a kind god. Therefore, when using the [Word of Creation] to strengthen the spells of the good category or to create magic items that can only be used by the good camp, it will also allow spells and magic items to gain additional enhancements.

It's a pity that Ivy's camp tendency is [Lawful Neutral]. Even if it is moving towards the direction of good, it can't be said that it has completely joined the good camp. So Ivy basically has no chance of using this one.

In addition to the above three situations, [The Word of Creation] also includes the study of [True Name].

Once Ivy learns the true name of a creature through magic research, he can use various methods to exert his power on that creature. And all creatures in the world have their true names, whether they are elemental creatures summoned by magic, or angels and demons. Once Ivy masters their true names through research, it will be difficult for these guys to resist Ivy's power.

However, the study of true names requires the caster to know how to release one of the legendary, alien exploration or divine arts, and it also takes a lot of energy and money, which Ivy may not need to use.

More skills are better than less, maybe Ivy will use them in the long years of studying magic.

After the coronation ceremony of the King under the Mountain, the guests leaving the banquet venue passed by Thorn Hall and saw that the white cloth covering the statue had been removed.

It was a group statue of elves, dwarves, humans, wizards and giant eagles fighting side by side. There was also a giant bear lying beside them, and on the back of the giant bear was a less conspicuous hobbit. These warriors trampled the orcs under their feet, and everyone's face was full of persistence and desire for victory.

Although this hall was still called Thorn Hall, everyone could see Thorin's intention - to commemorate the allied soldiers who fought bravely in the Battle of Five Armies.

"Did they carve you too short, Bilbo?" Ivy stood in front of the statue, and beside him were Bilbo and Gandalf who were about to set off to return to the Shire.

"What...?" Bilbo was so distracted that he didn't hear Ivy's question clearly, so he had to repeat it.

"No, no, no!" Bilbo smiled widely, "That's just right! It's better to say I'm too tall! I've never seen myself so tall before! Do you think I'm taller than the dwarves next to me?"

"Of course you're taller than the dwarves! Master Baggins!" A voice came from behind. It was Balin. His white beard had been carefully combed into a whip, and his clothes looked very decent. He was no longer the dusty man he was when he went on the expedition to the Lonely Mountain.

"You know what I mean. I'm not talking about height, but about greatness." Balin raised a finger and gestured, and hugged Bilbo tightly.

"Great? This word seems to have never been associated with me." The humble Hobbit seemed a little troubled.

"Do I need to remind you? The Arkenstone." Balin said with a smile.

"Oh..." Bilbo looked embarrassed, "You all know it."

"That's my fault," Ivy said nonchalantly, "The dwarves at the banquet kept pouring wine into me and kept asking me questions about 'how I found the gem'. Maybe after a glass of particularly mellow wine, I accidentally let it slip."

"Don't blame yourself, Bilbo." Balin patted the hobbit on the shoulder, "Thorin has turned the gem into a wizard gem. It no longer symbolizes the ruling power of Durin's family, and it doesn't matter to us. Important. What's more, Thorin is very grateful to you. No matter what, you are his sincere friend. "

"Actually, Thorin wanted to see you off, but he used the excuse of the king." Balin gestured in the air with his fingers. Ivy guessed that it meant writing. "You know, busy with official duties. But if you ask me, he is afraid of crying. I watched him grow up, and he often cried when he was a child!"

"What? Thorin? Really?" Bilbo couldn't help laughing. He couldn't imagine a serious dwarf with a full beard crying.

"Of course it's fake, Master Baggins." The king's voice came from behind the statue. Thorin and the other dwarves of the Lonely Mountain Expedition were all present. "I knew I had to come in person, otherwise you don't know how to arrange me, Balin."

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

"I wish you could stay here longer, Bilbo." Thorin said sincerely, "There will always be a place for you here."

"Thank you, Thorin." Bilbo and Thorin hugged each other tightly, "As long as you don't blame me."

"It's your kindness and the wizard's magic saved me." Solin patted Billbo's shoulder. "How can I blame you?"

"Great!" Billbo's face smiled again, "So I can rest assured to return to Charles and return to my bag. I will write this adventure as a story, especially with you adventure with you. If you pass by the bottom of the bag one day, welcome to drink tea with me one day, and afternoon tea is four o'clock. "" ""

The dwarves of the expeditions bowed to him together, and many people's eyes flashed with tears.

"But ..." Billbo hesitated for a moment, "Don't knock on the door next time, okay?"

The dwarves laughed together, Billbo waved his hand, and turned to leave.

"Wait, Billbo." Avi called him, "You still have a gift from it. Gift from the wizard."

"Really?" Billbo asked expecting, "I thought you forgot me!"

"Of course, I just don't know for a while, a happy and satisfying Hobbit, what is needed." Avi took out a bone whistle, of course, using the bone of Shi spear, "but I know the way this way is all the way to the end How many difficulties, so I prepared this for you. Woolen cloth."

"Oh! I really need this too much!" Billbo took the whistle happily, and couldn't wait to sound it. Avi deliberately adjusted the size to match the Hobbit figure.

"Now everything, we can finally go on the road, Billbo." Gan Daofu extinguished his pipe and also stepped on a horse. "

The two figures of one tall and one dwarf went away, and the dwarves in front of the Gushan Gate were unwilling to leave for a long time until the old wizard and the master of the thief completely disappeared under the horizon.

"Don't you disappear suddenly? Wizard?" Solin asked, "We discuss it to build a tower, a mage tower, I heard that the white robe wizard lives in Gaoli, Esimer. I think you need one.

"Mage Tower?" Avi couldn't help laughing. As a 9th ring caster, he really needed a tower, but Alida was not his resident world. Here he built the mage tower. How long is it, "Don't take that kung fu. You know, our wizards rarely stay in the same place."

"Really?" Barin rubbed his hands, "Maybe you are willing to take a new job? I am planning to launch a team of expedition to Moria, and now there is a wizard! Du Lingxing, we do n’t know how to deal with him. If you are so learning like this and a powerful wizard, you will definitely help us!

"Meria was originally called Gaddaham. It was the first place where the dwarves discovered the secret silver. If Balling can recover there, the mysterious silver will appear on the Middle -earth continent." Solin also persuaded, "If you are ready to be ready, you are ready to Why not start from Moria to other places to fight evil?

"That's a very dangerous thing, Barin." Avi shook his head. The Yan Mo below Moriya was related to the opportunity of the gray robe Gandaofu to become a white robe wizard. What impact of Eliveta's major chapter had a good relationship with this great god.

"The Dalling Star below Moria is a demon, a very degraded dark creature. They are all followers of Mozus. "Don't take risks, Barin, that creature is still active, and does not leave Moria's underground space."

"Don't you help? Witcher?" Barin sighed.

"Of course I can help, but ..." Avi thought about it before he continued, "At least before I came back, don't go to Moria to take risks, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Barin waved his hand. "I'm too old, I can't wield the Tomahawk. Last time I rode a goat to find Daiyin, but I was tired of my waist. It's like a wizard, and it will never be affected by time, so you must come back earlier, I will always prepare to expedition to Moria! "

Avi didn't know if this old dwarf was waiting for him to be a good thing, but it was obviously not wonderful to lead a group of dwarf guys to feed the Yan Mo.

"Well, I will try to return within a hundred years, can I?" Avi asked.

"One hundred years? That's a long time!" Barin's beard was tilted, "I don't know if I can live to that year!"

"Then I can teach you a secret of longevity, which is effective for everyone who is troubled by life." Avi said mysteriously, "That is to keep breathing, don't get angry."

"Hahaha!" The dwarves laughed together, apparently like this joke.

"Since you are not in a hurry to leave, why don't you come and see our expansion plan for Lonely Mountain?" Thorin suggested again, "We have named the lava lake 'Destruction Fire Lake', which is named after your last name. Everyone thinks it is good, and it also means that we destroyed the orcs together with that lava lake."

"We plan to dig a channel from Lonely Mountain to connect the forge area and the lava lake, and use its heat to forge items!" Thorin's face was full of longing for the future, "That is a magical lava lake. Maybe the weapons and armor forged from it can also bring some magic!"

The place where Sauron forged the Supreme Lord of the Rings was Mount Doom. Of course, the crater can also be regarded as a lava lake, but Mount Doom is higher. Since the rings forged in Mount Doom have magical powers, the Destruction Fire Lake may not be that bad. Even their names are not much different.

Ivy is very interested in the dwarves' whimsical ideas and can't wait to join in.

Sort out the character cards tomorrow!

I wonder if you are still interested in Middle-earth? Not only the Lord of the Rings trilogy, maybe the plots of Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War can also be written. Orc Pokémon is indeed quite interesting.

As for the question of the Spirit Path mentioned by the book friends, Wrath of the Righteous is a world that will definitely be visited, sooner or later, but it will definitely be after Baldur's Gate 3.

After Goblet of Fire, it is Strixhaven. The main storyline of Magic: The Gathering is definitely the event of the evil army, and then it will be interspersed with the two universes of Ravnica and Eldraine, but I can't find the official novel of "Wanderers of Eldraine". Is there anyone who knows about it who can help me? It is best to have a Chinese version.
