When the sun first rose over the Middle Earth continent, as the second child of creation, humans also awoke on the easternmost edge of the land.
Later, they gradually developed, with some curious about the rising sun, migrating westward, while others continued to stay on the east side.
The humans who migrated westward dispersed slowly during the process, forming many human tribes, and also encountered elves, who imparted culture to them, just like the Beowulf family.
And those humans who remained in the east, a portion of them were secretly influenced by Morgoth, becoming loyal followers of Morgoth.
George intentionally added a mind-reading function to his hat, with the purpose of preventing faithful humans who followed Morgoth from infiltrating the Elven city to study the magic he had taught at the Magic Academy.
The hat was imbued with a spell of enlightenment, harboring its own thoughts, and whenever it perceived that the wearer was a spy, it would send the signal "Azkaban".
Azkaban is a prison in the Harry Potter world, also indicating that these spies are about to be imprisoned.
Now the Elven city is open to all humans, many of whom are rushing from all directions. No one can guarantee that there may not be spies among them.
Initially, there were few qualified humans with such capabilities, allowing him to personally vet them. However, due to the new ability of transmutation, more and more humans would come to the Academy.
He doesn't have that much time or energy.
Therefore, this function was specifically set up to alleviate his worries in the future.
As it turned out, his caution was indeed justified.
Sauron was killed by him, and Morgoth failed to entice him. Having witnessed the strength of this powerful human, he had already become wary of him.
Thus, he had already sent human followers who believed in him as a god, posing as those seeking to join the Elven city as an excuse to infiltrate the city.
This time, it was also taking advantage of this opportunity to see if they could sneak into the Magic Academy, gather information about George, and uncover his true identity.
Morgoth never believed that he was just an ordinary human, suspecting that he might come from Valinor, a Maia in disguise.
"This is a traitorous human who follows Morgoth, intending to infiltrate the college..."
George handed the youth over to the steel magic puppet standing beside him, seeing the puzzled looks on the crowd, he briefly explained a few sentences.
"All right, there's no need to worry about it, carry on."
As the crowd heard George's answer, they suddenly understood, but there was no great surprise.
The eastern defense line of the Seven Fëanor was easily breached because some humans who had faith in Morgoth pretended to join the elven army but turned their backs on them at critical moments.
So everyone understood the matter of human spies.
Elves captured by Morgoth were transformed into half-orcs, while humans enticed by Morgoth became his followers. Just like the two children of creation, neither could escape his grasp.
After George sat down, Lysander continued the transformation ritual until the last one was completed, without any further incidents.
To cross the eastern part and come to the Elven city was not an easy task for Morgoth's followers, let alone being of suitable age and having a learning talent.
Originally, this matter came up unexpectedly, without any preparation. Only this one youth was suitable for the task.
"Today, the college has gained six hundred new students. To celebrate the college's growth, classes are suspended for the day to allow everyone to rest and have a good rest."
Seeing the transformation ceremony come to an end, George stood up and waved his hand, causing three long tables to instantly be filled with various exquisite foods and beverages.
The Middle-earth Magic Academy does not have house elves, and there wasn't enough time for the cooks to prepare and bring out the food, so he simply used transfiguration to handle it.
Moreover, the food he created wasn't limited to this world, but also included modern food from other worlds.
For instance, jellies, cakes, various barbecues, eight major Chinese cuisine, Greek, French, Italian cuisine and so on.
"Wow!"
The sudden appearance of various exquisitely presented foods that they had never seen before caused all the students from the three tribes present to gasp in awe.
Following that, there was a period of voracious eating, even the usually elegant elves lost their composure while tasting the food.
After the banquet ended, George and several elven princes went into detail to explain the intelligence gathered from the youth's mind about human spies.
Soon, the elven prince dispatched men to capture all the spies.
George also helped in a soul-searching of the spies, gaining a great deal of information about Morgoth's army.
"How is it?"
Angrod rushed forward to ask George as soon as the soul-searching was over.
George held up two fingers:
"Is it good or bad? You should listen to the first one."
Lysander raised his hand:
"Let's hear the good news first."
"The good news is that Morgoth's army should not have any plans to attack this side in the near future."
George smiled back.
Since Thrain's Grey Elven Kingdom had joined the front against Morgoth, and George had cleared the Valley of Shadows, most of the elven and dwarf defenses had merged into one.
The northwest was Eregion, then the gorge that saved the Great Prince, and then Gondolin to the south, where its defense merged with Doriath.
Doriath extends further south to the Valley of Shadows and Dorwinion.
The southernmost defense of Doriath is connected to Andrammarch, a natural barrier, and the long wall extends eastward to the Seven Rivers Land.
Seven Rivers Land was connected to the Blue Mountains, where the dwarf defense line of Blue Mountains was located.
The entire defense line can be seen as the inverted letter 'U', and the blank space inside represents the land occupied by Morgoth's army.
Currently, this defense line is very well connected, and George has established magical devices that can transport through space at every important point of the defense.
If the defense is attacked by Morgoth's army, immediate support can be provided.
Before, the Fire King led a band of fire giants and the hordes of half-orcs to attack the Doriath defense line of the Grey Elves, but they were defeated and fled in disarray due to timely support from all sides' armies.
Galadriel's fame was made in that battle when she single-handedly slayed a fire giant.
This battle is also known as the "Defensive Counterattack of Doriath".
After that battle, Morgoth now does not intend to launch a strong offensive on the defense line, as it would be futile.
"What's the bad news?"
Galadriel, impatient, immediately asked.
"Could it be that Glaurung is too ambitious to want to attack us again?"
"If he dares to come again, I will surely chop off his head and hang it on the gate of the Elven City!"
Recently, she has learned many magics from George and believes her strength has increased significantly. Last time, she didn't have the chance to confront the Fire King face-to-face, but she couldn't miss this opportunity now.
Although her talent is slightly inferior to Lysander, it is still second only to him, and cannot be compared to normal elves.
"Glaurung is indeed going to attack again, but not against us. He's planning to attack the Seven Fëanor."
George explained with a smile.
After the breach of Mithril Defenses, Maeglin retreated with his six brothers to Himring.
In fact, at first, only Maeglin and his second brother Maglor were present. The other five brothers joined them when they were chased by Glaurung.
