George is now able to perform the Golem spell so easily thanks to the modern magic's refinement.
"Keep going!"
Desiring to learn a new magical system naturally requires a lot of practice, and in this regard, he is quite experienced.
Moreover, as a serious codebreaker of the Puritans, Sherry grew up learning magic in the Puritans and has seen many magical systems. She is most proficient in earth magic, but that doesn't mean she only knows earth magic.
So, if he wants to fully absorb the magic stored in Sherry's brain, he would also need a relatively long period of time.
As George focused on studying and practicing the new magic, he suddenly stiffened and muttered through his mouth:
"It's here again!"
A new perspective and a new memory have appeared.
"Human, elf, Balrog... Is this... Middle-earth!"
George slowly sat up after digesting the memories of his new body, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
He of course watched The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit series. At the time, because there were many places that were difficult to understand, he even went out of his way to look up some background information.
So, with the memories of this human body combined, he quickly realized that he had come to the magical world of Middle-earth.
What he didn't expect was that the time line of his doppelganger was not the time line of hobbits in the Third Age, nor the time line of The Lord of the Rings after sixty years for hobbits.
It was a timeline of the First Age, thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago.
At this time, the true great demon, Morgoth, had not yet been exiled to the eternal void by the gods, and the Dark Lord Sauron, who would forge the One Ring, was merely Morgoth's deputy.
A terrifying dragon like Smaug that could destroy the entire Dwarf Kingdom was just a small fry among the dragon race of Morgoth's army.
And the infernal demons that almost took down Gandalf were not just one or two, but a whole horde of them.
However, in George's view, while the dangers are real, there are also many opportunities. The elves of this era are extremely powerful.
Most of them are high-level, high-light elves who have bathed in the light of the holy tree and lived with the gods in Valinor for a long time. They learned many abilities and magic from the gods.
At this time, the gods still resided in the most westerly realm of Valinor and had not taken Valinor away with them.
The ground was not yet in the later spherical shape, but it was still a whole continent.
If there were an opportunity, he could even go to Valinor to learn magic from the gods.
Unfortunately, his doppelganger was a human, not an elf. Unless he made enough contributions to this world, the gods would not allow a commoner to step into Valinor.
Before, he always hoped that his clones would be clean and normal adult male humans, and now that he had a normal adult human male clone, he hoped for an elf.
Because elves, upon sincere repentance, can be forgiven by the gods and return to live in Valinor.
Regarding the relationship between elves and gods, that's a long story. In fact, he only knows the basics.
Basically, in the eternal void, there exists a great deity called Ilúvatar, the omnipotent creator of the universe, and the creator of Middle-earth.
From his will, he created countless spiritual entities, and with the eternal fire, he granted them will. Among them, there were fifteen great ones and countless smaller ones. The great ones are collectively known as the Valar, and the smaller ones as the Maiar.
George felt that it was the difference between the primary gods and secondary gods.
Ilúvatar played the hymn of creation with these spiritual beings, creating the universe and a continent, which was the continent of Middle-earth.
The Valar and the Maiar came to this continent and used their divine power to enrich the barren land, transforming it into a land with mountains, rivers, and a variety of flowers, trees, insects, and beasts.
They created two great lights to light up the beautiful continent, waiting for the birth of the children of Ilúvatar.
Ilúvatar wanted to create two batches of life on this continent. They were also the future main melody of this continent, the elves and humans.
This was the original Age of the Two Lamps.
However, one of the strongest Valar, Morgoth, who later became the Great Dark Lord, did not want to be so. He wanted to be the master of this continent and rule it alone.
So he destroyed the two lights, took the corrupted Maiar, including Sauron and those infernal demons, as well as other Valar and Maiar, and waged war against them.
The powers of both sides were so great that they led to the collapse of the beautiful world created by the gods.
Because the elves and humans had not yet been born, the gods did not want to cause the entire world to be destroyed by the war with Morgoth, so they voluntarily retreated to a land in the farthest west of Middle-earth, Armanoth, separated from the rest of the world by a sea.
Using divine power, they created a perfect divine paradise there and planted the trees of silver and gold, initiating the Age of the Trees.
After a long time, the first batch of elves were born, with such beauty that even the gods found them delightful, and they had endless lifespans.
Morgoth captured a batch of elves and transformed them into abhorrent half-beings using evil methods, to mock Ilúvatar.
This infuriated the gods, who united to defeat Morgoth and imprison him in Valinor. They then began to suggest that the elves migrate to the more beautiful Valinor to live.
A few elves were unwilling to leave their homeland and chose to stay in the east of Middle-earth, becoming the Silvan Elves, also known as Wood Elves and Dark Elves later on.
Most agreed, but some remained accidentally in the central part of the Middle-earth continent, becoming the Noldor Elves, also known as Ephelants or Light Elves.
Because their king, Gil-galad, had visited Valinor and seen the two holy trees, and been nourished by their power.
Among the elves who went to Valinor, some had visited Valinor and, because they liked the sea, stayed on the coast of Valinor and its islands, known as the Sea Elves.
Another part of the elves lived in Valinor and bathed in the light of the two holy trees, learning various knowledge from the gods and becoming stronger.
The first batch of elves to arrive in Valinor lived under the two holy trees. They were called Vanyar Elves, with golden hair and fair skin, the strongest and most beautiful of all elves, beloved by the king and queen of the gods.
The elf queen, Galadriel in the movies, gained such great power because she inherited the bloodline of her grandmother, a Vanyar Elf.
The second batch of elves to arrive in Valinor lived a bit further out. They loved and learned from the god of craftsmanship, Ollin, who created the Dwarf Race, and were called the Noldor Elves.
Both Vanyar and Noldor were high-level light elves.
Everything was very beautiful until Morgoth's term of imprisonment ended. He pretended to repent entirely and gained the forgiveness of the gods, beginning to sow discord in Valinor and making the elves believe they had been imprisoned, thus betraying the gods and returning to Middle-earth.
