Chapter 130 Placement
Luke, who was appointed as the first village chief by Dui, took this opportunity to ask Dui a question.
"Sir, our village hasn't been officially named yet. Would you have the honor of giving it a name?"
The other villagers also looked expectantly at Dui.
Dui did not refuse. He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call it Hogsmeade Village."
He had previously renamed Amonsurtar to Hogwarts, so this village near Hogwarts should be given a corresponding name.
Thus, a village called Hogsmeade was officially created, and in the future it will become the most famous place name in the Eridor region and even the entire Middle-earth.
Having accepted these villagers as his subjects, Dui could not remain silent.
He simply waved his wand, and countless stones automatically piled up to form walls, and timber automatically assembled.
Amidst the villagers' awe and reverence, houses were automatically erected, and stones surrounded the village, forming a high and thick stone wall.
Before long, a village resembling a small fortress appeared before everyone.
Dui stopped casting the spell and nodded in satisfaction.
This was a public display of his divine power and a welcoming gift, but he will never come again.
It is said that a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment. He did not want the villagers to develop a habit of dependence and want to get everything they want without working, relying on magic.
After all, he was only responsible for protecting the villagers, not acting as a babysitter.
Just as the villagers were awestruck by Dui's magic, a deafening roar echoed from the distant sky.
Everyone was drawn to the sound and looked over.
As the black dot drew ever closer in the sky, the villagers were initially puzzled, but soon their expressions turned to terror.
"A dragon! It's a giant dragon!" The villagers were terrified, their faces turning ashen.
They had only heard of dragon legends in stories, but now they saw one in person for the first time, and they were terrified.
"Quickly, take cover! Hide!" Luke, the village chief, was also very nervous and scared, but he still immediately shouted to remind the villagers. He saw Dui and the others still standing in the same place, looking up calmly at the giant dragon flying in from afar.
Despite his fear, Luke quickly shouted to Dui, "Sir, the dragon is coming! We should hide!"
Upon hearing this, Dui and Gandalf exchanged a glance, both showing approval.
Dui had no intention of deliberately frightening the villagers; his voice, though soft, reached every villager's ears: "Don't be afraid, that dragon is my mount, it won't harm you!"
Upon hearing Dui's words, all the villagers were somewhat incredulous.
After all, that was a legendary dragon!
However, the dragon didn't keep them waiting long. It swooped down, its huge wings whipping up a gale, and stopped outside the village. The villagers were watching the enormous dragon in fear.
The dragon complained to Dui, "Master, you teleported back so easily, while I had to fly all the way from the Ogre Forest! My stomach is growling with hunger!"
Then his gaze fell on the villagers who looked fearful, and a mocking glint flashed in his eyes: "These are the snacks you prepared for us, Master?"
Upon hearing the dragon's words, the villagers gasped, their fear and unease intensifying.
Seeing this, Dui said impatiently, "Shut up! If you scare anyone again, I'll confiscate all that treasure and make you sleep on the floor!"
"And these are all my subjects; they must not be disrespectful."
"Ah, so you are the master's subjects!"
Smaug's attitude changed drastically in an instant. He tried to be more friendly and spoke to the villagers with a smile.
"I am Smaug, the golden dragon, lord of wealth. If you ever encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, just call upon me, and I will lead you to burn them all down and plunder them!"
Even though Smaug tried to smile kindly, the menacing dragon head still terrified the villagers, who looked to Dui for help.
Dui was so angry at Smaug that his teeth ached; he knew that this stupid dragon wouldn't say anything nice.
The shining image he had intended to cultivate in the hearts of the villagers was thus ruined!
If outsiders heard him constantly talking about burning and looting, they would probably think that Fengyun Peak was a bandit's den.
With this stupid dragon around, Dui couldn't stay any longer; he had to settle the guy down first.
After saying goodbye to the villagers, the group rode off on the giant dragon.
Only the villagers remained, staring wide-eyed as the giant dragon flew towards the top of Fengyun Peak.
But contrary to Dui's fear of damaging his image, the villagers were immediately excited after their initial fear.
That's a dragon! Their lord actually owns a dragon mount!
Possessing a dragon means being powerful and not to be trifled with!
As citizens of Duir, they no longer need to worry about anyone daring to offend or invade this place.
They can even proudly proclaim that their lord is the great Lord of Dragons!
Dui, however, was unaware of the villagers' thoughts.
Smaug quickly led them to land on the summit of Wind and Cloud.
Dui had already come up with a plan for Smaug's fate.
He deliberately rode his flying broomstick to the cliff on the back of Fengyun Peak, used the Thunder Explosion Spell to blast a huge hole in the cliff, and then kept opening it up until he reached the bottom of the tower, connecting to the cellar on the first basement floor of the tower.
The cellar was already quite spacious, and with the expansion of the Unseen Stretch Charm, it became large enough to accommodate the size of the dragon Smaug.
Smaug could enter the cellar directly through a hole in the cliff.
Smaug, seeing the empty cellar, looked at Dui with anticipation and longing: "Master, quickly empty out all the treasure!"
"I can't sleep at all without treasure on my bed!"
Dui had no intention of teasing him. He opened the money bag containing the treasure of Lonely Mountain, flew into the air on a broomstick, and poured it out.
A golden river surged forth from the money bag space, instantly crashing down on the ground.
Smaug's eyes lit up when he saw the gold coins, and he was overjoyed, basking in the waterfall of gold and jewels.
The sound of the gold coins clinking was like heavenly music, and he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Dui had certainly witnessed the greed of this dragon.
I wonder what Morgoth was thinking when he created the dragon race, that he would make them so obsessed with treasure?
After all, it's only one-tenth of the treasure of Lonely Mountain, and when piled up, it's still a magnificent mountain of gold.
Now the entire cellar floor has been covered.
Even so, Smaug was still not satisfied.
After all, when he was on Lonely Mountain, he was sleeping buried in a treasure trove.
Now, not only have they been forced to acknowledge a master, but even the quality of their sleeping environment has been lowered.
He stared intently at Dui. "Master, I can smell gold coins on you. Stop hiding them and give them all out!"
H
Dui's mouth twitched; this stupid dragon's nose was actually quite sharp.
He then took out the treasure he had looted from Goblin Town and poured it on Smaug.
But Smaug's eyes remained fixed on Dui.
"Also, Master, you have treasure on you! Hand it over quickly, I'll keep it safe for you!"
Dui was speechless as he poured out all the treasures he had seized from the Ogre Forest and the riches he had acquired from the Ancient Tomb Hill.
Only when not a single coin remained did Smaug reluctantly withdraw his gaze, lying comfortably on the treasure and groaning. He urged, "Master, you can go now. Don't worry, I'll guard these treasures for you. I guarantee not a single gold coin will be lost!"
Dui took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with this stupid dragon.
He turned and walked out of the cellar, closed the cellar door, and used his wand to carve the warning "Sleeping Dragon, Do Not Disturb" on the door.
Dui then went to the observation deck at the top of the tower.
In the center of the watchtower is a huge stone platform with a depression in the center, which was once the place where the Kingdom of Arno placed the Crystal of True Knowledge.
Dui took out his True Knowledge Crystal and placed it in the recessed area.
Then he placed the crystal bottle containing the light of Eyarendil next to the Crystal of True Knowledge.
To prevent Sauron, the Demon King, from observing this place through the crystal.
If Sauron dares to spy on them, he'll make sure to blind them.
Then Dui released the giant bird's nest and the fledgling eagle Sorondo, placing them on the other side of the watchtower.
Eagles are born to soar high in the sky, and Zoro was quite pleased with his new home, flapping his fledgling wings and soaring into the wind.
Gazing into the distance, the clear, resonant hooves of eagles rang out.
Dui gently stroked Zorondo's face with his gaze: "This will be your new home from now on. When you grow up, you can soar through the skies by day and return here to rest at night. Do you like it?"
The fledgling eagle could understand human speech, and it nuzzled Dui affectionately, letting out a joyful cry.
"I'm glad you like it." Dui handed him some dried meat. The fledgling eagle's deficiency had now been cured by Elrond, and as long as it was gradually raised, it could grow up with the other giant eagles.
Dui is eagerly anticipating the day when he can spread his wings and fly.
After calming Zorondo down, Dui left the watchtower.
He locked the two giant spiders he had captured inside the middle tower space and used magic to solidify the iron door to prevent them from escaping.
"Why does it look more and more like a zoo?"
After doing all this, Dui belatedly realized what was happening.
A giant dragon lived in the cellar, a baby giant eagle lived in the watchtower, and two giant spiders were imprisoned in the middle.
It really feels like running a zoo.
Putting this strange idea out of his mind, Dui went outside the tower and found a sunny, open space.
He then waved his wand, turning over the soil on the ground.
After loosening the soil, Dui took out two fruits, one gold and one silver.
These are the seeds of the Sacred White Tree and the Maurice Tree, respectively.
The seeds of the Sacred White Tree had been soaking in the Silver Basin of Galadriel for three whole days, and had become so moist and shiny that they looked as if they had just been picked from the tree.
Afterwards, it was bathed in the light of Eyarendil and absorbed a lot of light. Now, when held in the hand, it faintly shimmered with a halo.
The Sacred White Tree was created by the plant goddess Yavanna, modeled after the Silver Tree, one of the two sacred trees. The only difference between the two trees is that it does not emit light.
The Light of Eyarendil is actually the light that Galadriel collected from the Silmaril worn on Eyarendil's head.
The Silmarillion's brilliance is also the light from Fëanor's collection of the Two Trees.
Therefore, the Light of Eyarendil is essentially the light of the Two Sacred Trees.
The light from the Twin Sacred Trees is a great tonic for the Sacred White Tree.
This is why Galadriel had Dui bathe the seeds of the Sacred White Tree in the light of Eyarendil.
Dui dug up the soil and buried the seeds of the Sacred White Tree in the picture.
Then he took out the water bottle given to him by Lady Galadriel and poured out some water to water the plants.
This water contains the power of the Water Ring of Nanya, possessing extraordinary strength, enough to make seeds sprout and germinate.
He then walked nearly a hundred meters to the side and planted another Maurice plant seed.
Then they watered it with a water bottle.
Mawlamydes grow to be very tall, even tall enough to build platforms and treehouses on.
So to avoid the two trees being too close together in the future, he set the distance in advance.
After doing all this, Dui cast various shielding and protective spells to prevent the seed from being disturbed.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the seeds to sprout.
Then we look forward to them growing into towering trees.
When the time comes, two large trees, one gold and one silver, will stand atop Fengyun Peak, bringing a new look to the area.
