Chapter 111 Magic Cycle
As Beorn transforms into a giant bear, a savage and oppressive aura washes over you.
Even knowing that the giant bear in front of him was Beon, he still had an urge to back away.
"Beon, please don't resist. Can I check your magic circulation?"
The giant bear nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he could do as he pleased.
Seeing that Beon agreed, Dui immediately placed his hand on the giant bear's skin and slowly injected magic into it to feel how the magic worked within the giant bear's body.
The reason why Animagus cannot become magical creatures is because the magic of wizards and the magic of magical creatures are fundamentally different in their operation.
However, forcibly breaking this magical way of operating can easily lead to unpredictable and serious consequences.
Like the five-legged monsters in the magical world, which are said to have been transformed by wizards.
However, because the way magic works in the body changes during the transformation, once it becomes a five-legged monster, it can never transform back, thus adding a new kind of creature to the magical world.
In the magical world, very few wizards practice Animagus, and even fewer succeed.
There were only seven registered Animagus throughout the 20th century, and even if you include those who practiced secretly without being registered, the total number is still very small.
There were no successful precedents for transforming magical creatures, coupled with the serious consequences that followed.
Therefore, wizards in the magical world never dare to easily attempt to transform into Animagus, a magical creature.
However, the situation is different here in Dui.
Although Beorn is a skin-changing human, his ability to transform into a giant bear makes him a good reference point.
If he could unlock the secrets of transformation within Beon and integrate them into his own Animagus, he might be able to possess an even stronger Animagus.
Dui carefully sensed the magical energy flowing within the giant bear's body, noticing the difference between its magical energy circulation and his own.
Beon also possesses magical power, and it's not insignificant.
This is also why he can transform into a giant bear.
However, as Dui continued to sense the magical system operating within the giant bear's body, his expression grew increasingly solemn, and in the end, he could only sigh and withdraw his hand.
"Thank you, Beon, you can turn back now."
Upon hearing this, the giant bear let out a low growl, its massive body rapidly shrinking until it finally transformed back into human form.
Beon put his clothes back on and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Dui nodded: "You've gained a lot. The way your magic circulates is very unique. If you can completely replicate it..."
Perhaps this will unlock the mystery of the skin-changing transformations of the transfiguration humans.
"It's just that your magic circulation system is too complex. To memorize it all would be a huge undertaking, taking at least several years or even longer!"
The magic circulation is similar to the circulation of internal energy in the meridians in martial arts novels, forming a complete and complex magic circulation system in the body.
The magic cycle and operation of wizards are different from those of magical creatures.
If a wizard forcibly transforms into a magical creature, the magical energy cycle within his body will be disrupted.
At best, the magic will lose its balance, become disordered, and turn into a dud.
In severe cases, they may be permanently transformed into magical creatures, their souls trapped within the bodies of wild beasts, making them even worse off than blood-cursed orcs!
After all, it's impossible for two different magic circulation systems to exist within a single person's body at the same time.
However, Beorn is different.
Dui discovered that when he was in human form, he had one magical cycle, but when he transformed into a giant bear, he had a different magical cycle system.
Beon can freely switch between the two systems, allowing him to change back and forth between human form and bear form.
If Dui could find the switching point between the two, he might be able to find a way to turn Animagus into a magical creature.
But that's still too far off for Dui at the moment.
The complex magical energy circulation system on Beorn alone would take a very long time to record.
Moreover, there can be no deviation or omission in the middle.
Otherwise, it would be a serious magical accident.
To this, Beon waved his hand dismissively and said:
"It's nothing. You can come to me anytime if you want to study it, or even stay here permanently. I'm the only one here all year round, so you're very welcome to come and visit!"
Dui was very grateful to Beon, having already prepared himself for Beon's rejection or even hostility.
After all, the ability to shapeshift is the foundation of the Skin Changer race's strength. If outsiders crack it or find a way to counter it, then for the Skin Changers, it's like handing over their life and death to someone else.
But Beorn allowed Dui to study him, which was a great trust.
Dui was grateful for the favor and naturally wanted to repay it.
He thought for a moment, and since Beon possessed magic, he would make a wand for him.
Beon was overjoyed to hear that Dui was going to make him a wand.
"Is this possible? I mean, I'm just a skin-changing person, can I really use a wand to cast spells?"
Dui nodded affirmatively.
"You have magic within you, so you can certainly cast spells as long as you have a wand. If you don't believe me, you can try using my wand."
Dui handed his wand to Beorn and taught him the most basic glowing charm.
Dui's wand is certainly not suitable for Beorn, but it is not difficult to cast the simplest glow spell with it.
As a tiny glow appeared at the tip of the wand, Beorn smiled broadly, as if he had seen something truly amazing.
He immediately pleaded with Duy, "Duy, please make me a magic wand! It's amazing!"
Dui smiled and nodded.
"Of course, this is exactly what I was supposed to do."
To make a wand for Beorn, the first thing to do is naturally to find a suitable wand shaft and core.
He possesses hair from Galadriel and feathers from the giant eagle, suitable for making the core of his staff.
However, neither of these two suited Beorn's wand when Dui took them out. It wasn't until Beorn took out a dire wolf that he had killed the day before that Dui found the wand core that suited him—the dire wolf's heart tendon.
As for the staff itself, there are also many magical trees in the dark forest.
Dui rode his broom into the dense forest and found a suitable staff for Beon, which was a piece of the core cut from a very old oak tree.
After gathering the materials needed to make the wand, Dui began to craft it for Beorn.
However, Dui does not intend to make it here.
The wand-making process is complicated and time-consuming. He has been away from River Valley for some time and does not know whether the Orc army has arrived.
Especially that giant dragon, I wonder if it has been behaving itself while I was away?
"Beon, would you be interested in experiencing Floo Powder teleportation?" Dui invited him with a smile.
Gandalf was busy preparing for the arrival of the Ork army, so he couldn't just sit idly by.
I'll take this opportunity to invite Beon to Riverdale to join the fight against Orcs.
He remembered that in the original course of fate, this person had also participated in the Battle of the Five Armies, severely wounded Ok, and even killed Azog's son, Polge.
Upon hearing that he was to fight Orc, Beon agreed without hesitation.
His people all died at the hands of the Oak, and his hatred for the Oak runs deep in his bones. He would agree to kill the Oak without hesitation.
After arranging the livestock, the two used Floo Powder to teleport to Vale via the fireplace.
A green flame flickered in the fireplace of River Valley City, and Dui stepped out from inside.
The next second, the tall Beon appeared, coughing and hunching over as he emerged from the fireplace, having accidentally inhaled a puff of ash.
Seeing this, Dui waved his hand to wipe the cigarette ash off him and asked with amusement.
"Beon, are you alright?"
Beorn coughed until tears streamed down his face, waved his hand, and looked utterly exasperated.
"Cough cough, I'm fine—!"
Bilbo heard the noise and came in from outside. His eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, and he quickly ran over.
"Duir, and Mr. Beorn, what brings you two together?"
"Long time no see, Mr. Baggins," Beon greeted politely, having a good impression of the halfling.
Dui explained with a smile, "Beon is a guest I invited; he will fight alongside us against the Orks."
"By the way, where's Gandalf? Hasn't he returned yet?"
Bilbo shook his head.
"Bard and the residents of Lake-town have all moved here, but Gandalf hasn't returned yet. Bard said he went to Mirkwood to try and persuade the elves, men, and dwarves to form an alliance."
Dui shook his head upon hearing this.
Gandalf's journey is unlikely to be successful.
Thranduil was not an elf like Elrond who cared for the world; he only wanted to be responsible for the elves of the Woodland Kingdom.
Not to mention forming an alliance with the dwarves—don't even think about it.
Putting that aside, he asked instead, "What are Bard and the others doing right now?"
"Bard and his men are currently building defenses, preparing to patch the gaps in the walls to withstand the Orks' attacks," Bilbo said.
"Let's go take a look together!" Dui said.
The three of them then headed to where Bard was.
Along the way, Dui frowned as he looked at the residents of Long Lake Town, who were setting up makeshift tents on the foundations of ruins.
It is now the time of year when autumn turns to winter, and the temperature in the river valley city deep in the north is beginning to get cold.
Such rudimentary living conditions could freeze a person to death.
The three of them walked all the way to the city gate.
At that moment, Bard and the men were moving the stones, piling them one by one at the gap in the city wall.
After moving a large rock, Bard caught his breath and, seeing Duy and the other two, immediately showed a look of surprise and joy. "Duy, I heard from Bilbo that you went on a long trip. I didn't expect you to be back so soon!"
"Are you repairing the city wall?" Dui asked.
Bud nodded.
"Although the walls of River Valley are severely damaged, they are still usable. I want to repair the walls as soon as possible before the Ork army arrives, so as to prevent the Orks from entering the city and harming the residents."
"Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a hand," Dui said, drawing his wand.
He then waved his wand at the damaged city wall.
"Restored to its original state~"
The next second, time seemed to reverse. Except for the areas destroyed by dragon flames, the city walls were constantly being repaired, and scattered rubble was being poured back into the gaps in the walls.
