From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

As a very convenient and efficient travel spell, Phantom Horse has only one insignificant disadvantage, that is, once the horse composed of shadows and smoke is attacked, it will directly disintegrate into its components and cannot withstand any damage, even if the attacker is an unarmed farmer.

Therefore, as soon as Gandalf fell off the horse, Ivy quickly reined in the horse and turned back, ready to drag him away from here. Although the speed of their mounts was much faster than that of the Ringwraiths, they did not actually open up much distance, not to mention that they had not yet crossed the Anduin River, and they had to be on guard against possible sneak attacks in the dark.

Ivy cast a two-ring levitation spell on Gandalf, allowing him to float away from the influence of gravity. Then Ivy took out a piece of hemp rope from the Destruction Grimoire and wrapped it around Gandalf's waist, so that the gray-robed wizard could be used as a kite and fly in the sky.

After vaguely seeing the Ringwraiths chasing behind him, Ivy rode on Golden Horn and set off again. Then Gandalf's cry of pain came from behind him: "Ivy! Be careful, my nose seems to be broken!"

Dol Gudu is a fortress built in the Black Forest. Even though the Orc army cut down a lot of trees to leave a path for the troops to pass through, the route chosen by Ivy and the others was not in the direction of the Orcs' advance. This path only slightly trimmed the shrubs and tree roots that might affect the progress, and did not knock down all the big trees on the roadside.

Therefore, when Ivy ran with Gandalf, who had the levitation spell attached, the poor old wizard ran into the tree trunk.

Ivy knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say much. He grabbed the hemp rope and pulled Gandalf to his side, and then instigated Golden Horn to jump to the treetops of the Black Forest and move forward.

Before the two of them started their action, they saw three knights on white horses running towards them.

The knight in front was wearing a golden-red elven armor, and the dazzling luster could be seen clearly even from a long distance.

When they got closer, it was Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell. He held a longbow and fired several arrows at the two men. The angry voice of the Ringwraiths came from afar.

"Gandalf!" Elrond asked loudly, "Where did you come from? Why didn't I see you just now? Where is the Ringwraith chasing you?"

Avy and Gandalf looked at each other, and it took a while to realize that it was Elrond who shot the phantom horse under Gandalf's crotch.

After being imprisoned in Dol Guldur for so many days, Gandalf's gray robe had long been dirty and could not be seen. It was understandable that Elrond thought it was a black robe. More importantly, the phantom horse under Gandalf's crotch was indeed very similar to the black horse of the Ringwraiths.

"There is no Ringwraith, Lord Elrond." Ivy smiled, "It has always been Gandalf, but he rode the warhorse I made with smoke and illusion."

"Saruman, Lady Galadriel!" Gandalf was busy untying the hemp rope around his waist, and at the same time greeted the other two white horse knights behind Elrond, "He is back! Sauron is back!"

Arriving with Elrond were the other two members of the White Council. Saruman was wearing a white robe, and the scepter was held by his side. After hearing Gandalf's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

In order to find the Supreme Ring lost near the Golden Iris Swamp, Saruman has tried his best to delay the actions of the White Council, but Galadriel still forced him to attack Dol Guldur after receiving the message that Ivy conveyed to Princess Arwen of the Evening Star through the dream technique.

Because of the rampant orcs in the Misty Mountains, Elrond himself did not dare to let Princess Duskstar go on the journey alone. You know, his wife was ambushed by orcs when she went to Lothlorien to visit her relatives, so she had to go to Valinor in the Far West to recuperate after being poisoned.

Seeing that the orcs and ogres in the Misty Mountains came down from the mountains and openly moved in the territory of the elves, Elrond personally went to escort his daughter after bidding farewell to the Lonely Mountain Expedition in Rivendell. After Princess Duskstar passed on the news of Ivy to her grandmother, he embarked on the journey with Galadriel.

If it weren't for waiting for Saruman who set out from Isengard, the two elf lords would have rescued Gandalf long ago.

The furious voices of the Ringwraiths rang out again: "Very good! The three rings of the elves have gathered! Today, the three rings and your heads will be presented to our great master!"

"You do not belong to this world!" Elrond, wearing golden and red elven armor, took the lead and rushed towards the Ringwraiths waving his long sword in his hand, "Your filthy shadows have seriously polluted this vast forest!"

Saruman's calm eyes swept over Ivy, and then over the dirty Gandalf, holding a staff and attacking the Ringwraiths. The egg-sized gem on the top of his staff lit up white light, and he fiercely repelled the two Ringwraiths attacking from both sides.

"You look really embarrassed, Mithrandir." Galadriel, wearing a flowing white silk dress, sat barefoot on the back of a white horse and smiled at Gandalf.

"Sauron is not an easy guy to deal with. If it weren't for Avi, I would definitely not be alive now." Gandalf raised his sword over his shoulder and strode towards the Ringwraiths, joining the battle swiftly. He didn't look like a dying old man half an hour ago.

Avi nodded to Galadriel, kicked the horse's belly and joined the battle.

Because Avi blocked their way with the Radiant Fire Wall and burned several horses, the Ringwraiths actually entered the battle in two groups.

The first group of four had been repelled by three members of the White Council, and now returned to the formation to regroup with the other Ringwraiths.

"Only eight? It seems that Sauron has not fully recovered his strength!" Saruman said in a deep voice, "This is our chance!"

"Don't underestimate them, Saruman!" Gandalf hurriedly stopped the behavior of opening champagne in the middle of the game, "It was Ivy who cut off the connection between a Ringwraith and the Lord of the Rings. Sauron has returned. This is absolutely true. For all the creatures in Middle-earth, we can't be careless!"

Although this is reasonable, it is extremely harsh in Saruman's ears. Gandalf is just a gray-robed wizard and should listen to his words in a white robe. But now that the enemy is at hand, he actually teaches his boss a lesson.

However, the other two colleagues of the Holy White Council are present, so Saruman can't get angry, so he can only secretly record another account with Gandalf in his heart.

Ivy raised his hand and chanted a spell, and took the lead in throwing a golden light ball with a long tail as the prelude to the second round of battle.

The Ringwraiths, who had already suffered several losses, were ready to dodge when they saw Ivy raise her hand. Unexpectedly, the speed of the light ball was far beyond their imagination. Although they tried their best to dodge, they were almost hit hard.

The brilliant golden light turned into a burning flame, burning all the black horses of the Ringwraiths into ashes.

Throwing aside the cloak that was ignited by the flames behind him, the Witch King of Angmar, the head of the Nazgul, took the lead and roared from under his thorny helmet that did not seem to come from the human world.

Although the horses under the crotch of Elrond and Saruman were elves, they could not resist the soul-stirring magic sound of the Ringwraiths. So the two horses were frightened and wanted to throw their riders off their backs.

As an elf, Elrond was light and flexible. He did not intend to force the white horse to continue fighting. He turned over and jumped from the horse's back to the ground, avoiding the attack of a magic cave spear.

"Quiet!" As a white-robed wizard, Saruman's most significant power is his voice that easily makes people feel trustful. The rolling sound waves overwhelmed the howling of the Witch King of Angmar, and the next moment he calmed his mount.

The Golden Horn was not affected at the beginning, and was carrying Ivy to charge at the Ringwraiths.

The two Ringwraiths holding heavy weapons had the largest attack range. After escaping from the flames brought by the Brilliant Fireball, they immediately rushed in front of Ivy, trying to cover the Witch King of Angmar who was still unable to move.

The Golden Horn horse's hoof tapped the ground lightly, and it jumped high without any sign, stepping on the helmets of the two Ringwraiths to attack the Witch King of Angmar.

Ivy's weapon ignited the four-color elemental light again, and triggered the ability of [Perfect Heavy Blow] with arcane energy, and chopped at the Thorn Crown of the Witch King of Angmar.

The Witch King of Angmar, who was attacked by surprise, raised his sword to block, but found that Ivy's seemingly powerful blow was just a feint.

The Beast Bite Sword changed direction the moment it intersected with the Morgul Sword, and went straight to the arm of the Witch King of Angmar along the blade of the Morgul Sword. From the beginning, Ivy had not forgotten Gandalf's instructions. This sword that was determined to win was aimed at the magic ring on the Witch King's finger.

The Witch King of Angmar naturally discovered this, but he was already in a hurry to block and he was unable to change his moves again. He could only hope that his teammates around him would help him to parry.

However, Gandalf, who launched an attack with both hands holding the sword, had come close and swept away the two intangible Ringwraiths with a sweep. Among the eight Ringwraiths, no one could come forward to launch assistance.

Could it be that the Witch King of Angmar, who dominated the northern countries, would be separated from the Ring of Power that he had worn for a lifetime in this dark forest?

The dark magic shadow suddenly appeared in the forest and turned into a burning figure. This figure wore a crown, and the evil spirit and demonic nature revealed from his body made people dare not look directly at it.

Just by showing up, he shocked Elrond and Saruman, two members of the White Council.

However, under the influence of the Ravenclaw crown [Knowledge of the Wise], Ivy was immune to the three abnormal states of charm, panic and shock that were effective against the mind. Therefore, the beast bite sword did not deviate from the established track at all, and resolutely cut off the right hand of the Witch King of Angmar.

After separating from the Ring of Power, the Witch King burst into a piercing scream again and disappeared without a trace.

"Kill him! Take back the Ring of Power!" Sauron ordered while suspended in the air.

The strong dark magic made the other seven Ringwraiths present quickly recover, and they waved their weapons together to attack Ivy who caught the second Ring of Power.

However, at the moment when Ivy held the Ring of Power in his hand, a burst of strong light exploded with a roar. The shock wave and strong light caused damage to the Ringwraiths who surrounded them, and they had no time to dodge, so the virtual Ringwraiths retreated involuntarily.

When they surrounded him again, Ivy and the golden horn under his crotch had disappeared in the encirclement of the Ringwraiths.

The spell that Ivy cast at the critical moment was the third-ring Thunder Step. Although Ivy had been riding the golden horn in his adventures in Middle-earth, the golden horn was not considered as Ivy's animal companion or professional mount according to the rules, so Ivy could not make the golden horn the second target of all spells that target itself like the paladin mount.

Therefore, when casting a spell that can teleport like the Phantom Step on the back of the golden horn, Ivy could not teleport with the golden horn. Fortunately, Ivy had already considered this point and specially prepared the third-ring Thunder Step as an emergency plan.

This spell not only has a moving distance of 90 feet, but also can cause 3d10 thunder damage to all enemies within 10 range of the previous location. What's more useful is that it can also carry a willing creature to move with it.

Now this spell carefully selected by Ivy has worked once, not only taking Ivy and Golden Horn out of the encirclement unscathed, but also bringing out the Ring of Power of the Witch King of Angmar.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one book, one bar!

"No!" Sauron's shadow roared, and the seven Ringwraiths in front of him were struck by lightning and immediately knelt on the ground.

The demon shadow, like a burning giant eye, burst into endless flames, igniting the surrounding trees and grass together, and even the dark forest covered by dark clouds was as bright as day.

"How dare you! The East will fall! The Kingdom of Angmar will rise! The age of the elves is over! You are just a little wizard! How dare you offend the great Dark Lord!" Sauron's roar echoed in the Black Forest for a long time.

Elrond, Gandalf, and Saruman, the three members of the White Council, could only barely hold on under Sauron's dark magic and could not make any effective resistance.

The only two who could still move freely were Ivy and Galadriel.

The former removed the disguise of the Ravenclaw crown, and the sapphire reflecting the starlight flashed under the eagle flapping its wings, protecting the young wizard very well.

The latter walked barefoot on the stale land of the Black Forest, holding up a crystal bottle emitting magnificent light.

Ivy had heard of that bottle, and the light blooming inside came from the supreme treasure of the elves - the Silmaril.

The master of the Dark Lord Sauron, the dark enemy Morgoth, started a world-sweeping war just because he coveted this treasure, and was finally completely defeated by the Valar who came out of Valinor and imprisoned in the void.

The treasure that Morgoth coveted - the three Silmarils - each has its own destination, one in the sky, one at the bottom of the ocean, and one in the flame at the core of the world.

The light stored in the crystal bottle by Galadriel came from the Silmaril hanging high in the sky, and it was also the brightest white star that could be seen in Middle-earth - the Star of Great Hope.

The brilliance of the Star of Great Hope competed with the Lord Sauron, and the beautiful elf holding the crystal bottle stepped forward step by step.

At first, Sauron could still try to suppress his impulse to retreat, but when Galadriel showed another form.

Sauron could no longer bear this scorching light.

In Ivy's vision, as the only elf in Middle-earth who had looked directly at the light of the Two Holy Trees, Galadriel's beauty, which had already surpassed the limit, suddenly sublimated, and people could not describe it in any language.

Her own beauty seemed to begin to glow, and it echoed with the light from the Great Hope Star in the crystal bottle in her hand, making her look taller. This beauty that was far beyond the limit even gave people a terrifying and creepy feeling.

"You have no right to speak here!" Galadriel had just opened her mouth, and the seven Ringwraiths kneeling in front of Sauron directly lost their bodies and turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Galadriel continued to move forward, and the voice in her mouth was like thunder, echoing in the Black Forest: "You are a nameless person!"

Sauron's flame magic eye shook violently, as if it would collapse directly in the next second.

"Faceless man!"

The shadows and flames kept alternating, and Sauron, who had no form, was under tremendous pressure.

"Invisible man! Go back to the place where you survive!"

Sauron's magic eye suddenly exploded, turned into a flame and fled in the dark clouds, heading southeast.

Everyone knew that it was the dry and barren Mordor.

Seeing that Sauron had left, Galadriel could no longer maintain the appearance of bathing in the glory of the two sacred trees, and the crystal bottle in her hand fell to the ground.

Aiwei stepped forward to support her in a few seconds, and took out the Hufflepuff gold cup and handed it to her pale lips.

"Drink, ma'am, it will make you feel better."

Gandalf also hurriedly came around and provided some experience as a person who had experienced it: "Aiwei's gold cup is very effective, I even suspect that it is holy water from Valinor."

Galadriel no longer hesitated and sipped it gracefully.

But after two or three sips of water, Galadriel's pale lips regained their color, and she stood up by herself from Iwei's shoulders.

"Thank you, wizard." Galadriel took a deep breath, "I didn't expect Sauron to recover so quickly. I thought it would take at least another thousand years for him to recover."

"We were all careless, ma'am." Elrond picked up Galadriel's crystal bottle from the ground and handed it to the latter, "Dol Guldur will continue to exist for a long time in the future. Sauron's dark magic has taken deep root in this land."

"Ring!" After Sauron left, Saruman swept away the decadence and stretched out his hand to Ivy aggressively, "Give me the ring of the Witch King of Angmar for safekeeping!"

"Don't even think about it." Ivy refused without hesitation, "You can't resist Sauron, you can't even move freely in Sauron's dark magic."

"I am the leader of the White Council! I am the first Istar to arrive in Middle-earth, and I should be the one to keep the ring!" Saruman raised his voice, deliberately using his ability to persuade others.
