Bilbo naturally noticed Legolas's embarrassment and apologized: "The Hobbit's house is a bit unfriendly to you. Doyle, please use your magic to fix it!"

With Bilbo's consent, Dewi immediately waved his wand and used the invisible extension spell to expand the space of the house, mainly increasing the height.

Bilbo then went to the market to stock up on goods, and Dewi and Legolas followed him.

Especially Legolas, who had been living in Mirkwood before. This time he followed Dui and others out to see the world and became very interested in various things.

After a stroll around the Hobbiton market, the news that Bilbo, the "deceased" person, was still alive quickly spread throughout the village.

Especially when they saw that there was an elf and a wizard following him, everyone looked at Bilbo, their once taciturn neighbor, with new eyes.

Many people are curious about it.

I was curious about what he experienced on this long journey, and he even brought back elves that I had only seen in stories!

On the second day, Bag End suddenly became lively.

It turned out that it was Bilbo's cousin Otho Baggins and his cousin-in-law Lobelia Baggins who came to visit and coveted Bilbo's property and house.

Bilbo was also shocked when he saw that Lobelia had long hair all over her body and looked like a savage.

When Lobelia saw Bilbo, she acted as if she had seen a savior and immediately begged for mercy:

"Cousin Bilbo, please save me! Look at what I've become! I'm covered in hair like a wild man and I can't even face people!"

"Please be kind! Show some mercy and lift this curse!"

Although Bilbo was shocked, he was not a pushover. He snorted coldly:

"If you hadn't spread rumors about my death and wanted to auction my house, would you have done this?"

"Besides, I don't know magic, how can I remove the curse for you?"

Lobelia naturally wouldn't give up. She quickly argued, "We didn't do it on purpose. You've been out for so long, and there's been no news. We all thought you were dead. We were worried that your house would be occupied by someone else, so we wanted to help keep an eye on it."

"Cousin Bilbo, please be kind and ask the wizard to remove the curse from me. I know he has magic skills. I promise that once the curse is removed, I will never bother you again!"

As she spoke, she secretly pinched her husband, Oso Baggins, beside her, signaling him to speak.

Otho quickly followed suit and begged for mercy, promising never to covet Bilbo's property or house again.

After hearing the two's promise, Bilbo was a little hesitant. Although he didn't like the couple, he was kind-hearted and felt that the punishment of the past few months was enough.

So he looked at Dui for help: "Dui'er?"

Dewi had no intention of interfering in Bilbo's family affairs, so when he saw him asking for help, he stepped forward and waved his wand at Lobelia.

"All right!"

"Okay?" Seeing that Lobilia hadn't changed, everyone looked at Dui in confusion.

Doesn't Dui want to break the curse?

"She won't grow long hair anymore," Dui explained. "As for the hair she has now, we can just shave it off."

Oso and Lobelia looked at each other, somewhat suspicious, but not daring to question.

They could fool Bilbo, but when they met Dewi's sharp and penetrating eyes, they were instinctively afraid and dared not resist.

After the two left, the neighbors who were watching the fun also dispersed.

Bilbo then asked, "Dui'ir, have you really broken the curse?"

Dui glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you think I lied to them?"

Bilbo shook his head quickly. "No, I just think that with your ability, you should be able to make the long hair on Lobelia disappear."

"I only promised to lift the curse," Dui shrugged and said jokingly, "I didn't say I would help them shave off their excess hair."

Bilbo understood immediately, and thought about how his cousin's wife would be like shaving a pig's hair, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't help it.

At the same time, I also lit a candle for the other person in my heart, hoping that he could find a good barber, otherwise if he shaved too much, he would probably not be able to see anyone for several months.

Dewi and Legolas stayed at Bilbo's house for three days.

Then, under Bilbo's reluctant gaze, he was teleported directly back to Weathertop through the newly connected fireplace.

Dui didn't feel any reluctance about this. After all, there was now a Floo network connecting Bag End and Amon Sultar, as well as the Floo powder left by Dui.

If you want to see someone, you can just teleport directly. It is very simple and convenient.

First floor of the tower.

Dewy came out from the fireplace.

Legolas, who arrived earlier, was chatting with Edward.

Seeing him come out, Edward stepped forward in surprise: "Lord Duyle, you are back!"

Dui nodded: "What happened during the days I was away?"

"Apart from a few more people arriving at Hogsmeade, nothing major has happened," Edward replied, handing over a parchment letter.

"But yesterday, there was a letter from Riverdale in the fireplace. It was sent by someone named Bud using Floo powder."

"Bard of River Valley?" Dui was surprised and took the envelope in confusion.

I opened it and immediately understood.

It turned out that this was not a letter from Bard, but a visiting card that the dwarf entrusted Bard to pass on.

Because Dewi had not set up a Floo network in Lonely Mountain, when the dwarves wanted to find him, they could only find Bard.

The reason why the dwarf was looking for him was,

One is that Dain Ironfoot, Lord of the Iron Hills, had previously promised to make dragon armor for the dragon Smaug.

The second reason was to build the castle on Weathertop: In order to obtain the Beast Bite sword, Thorin Oakenshield had previously promised to summon dwarf craftsmen to build a Hogwarts castle for Dui on Weathertop after he recaptured the Lonely Mountain.

Now that Thorin Oakenshield has recaptured the Lonely Mountain and become the King Under the Mountain, the dwarves living in the Blue Mountains and other exiled dwarves of Durin have returned one after another.

So Thorin also has to fulfill his original promise.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Dui's brows immediately relaxed.

He immediately said to Legolas: "I am going to Dale. Do you want to go?"

Legolas shook his head. "I wish to return to Mirkwood for a while."

Dewi nodded, "Remember to bring plenty of Floo powder."

The Woodland Kingdom was also connected by a fireplace, so as long as there was Floo powder, it would be easy for Legolas to go back.

So he doesn't have to worry.

After saying goodbye to Legolas temporarily, Dewi grabbed a handful of Floo powder and sprinkled it on the fireplace: "Riverdale!"

As he said this, he walked into the green flames alone and disappeared.

After a dizzying moment, Dui appeared in the fireplace of Valley City.

Dui was stunned when he saw the new and gorgeous decoration around the living room.

Wasn't this the house that Bud had given him permanently? Why had the decoration been changed?

Full of doubts, he walked out of the house and came to the street outside.

I saw that the houses around had been renovated, people were coming and going on the street, shops had appeared on both sides of the street, and the sounds of hawking were endless.

In addition to humans, there are also many dwarves on the streets. Both sides bargain with each other and exchange supplies.

Such a lively scene surprised Dui.

Obviously, this city-state that was once destroyed by dragon flames has regained its vitality.

Many residents of Dale City recognized Dui. When they saw him, they immediately took off their hats and saluted to show their respect, which aroused the curiosity of the dwarves.

Dui nodded gently and, under the guidance of the residents, came to the lord's mansion where Bard lived.

As the lord of River Valley and Long Lake Town, Bard's mansion is naturally extraordinary, with guards standing outside the gate.

However, the guards also recognized Dui and immediately saluted solemnly and respectfully: "Wizard Duiel!"

One of them said respectfully, "Lord Bud said that if you are here, you can come in without notifying me. Please follow me!"

"Thank you." Dui nodded and followed him into the newly built lord's mansion.

Before they even reached the hall, Bard came out quickly to greet them. He said happily, "I didn't expect you to be here so soon, Duyle. Please come in!"

Dewi smiled and explained, "I just sent Bilbo back to the Shire. I received your letter when I was returning to Weathertop, so I came here just now."

"But the changes in River Valley City really surprised me. After just a few months, there have been such big changes. It seems like you're leading the city well!"

Bard's temperament has changed drastically now. He exudes a sense of majesty and nobility, and looks like a lord.

Chapter 137 The Dwarf Craftsman Arrives

Bud smiled when he heard Dui's praise.

After a round of greetings, the two began to get down to business.

Bard said, "The dwarves wanted to contact you, but they had no direct way to get in touch with you, so they passed the letter to me. They are in the city now. If you want to see them, I will send someone to notify them right away."

Dui nodded: "Then thank you for your help!"

Soon, the dwarf was taken to the lord's mansion by Bard's servants.

"Lord Bard."

"Wizard Duir."

The dwarf Balin came in and nodded to the two of them.

"Long time no see, Balin, how are you?" Dui greeted with a gentle look.

As the oldest dwarf, Balin is wiser and calmer than other dwarves, and Dui has always had a good impression of him.

Balin nodded happily upon hearing this: "I'm doing fine. Lonely Mountain has been recaptured, and the Durin clan has gradually returned. I don't have to worry about being buried in a foreign land after I die!"

"By the way, Duyle, we have already prepared the craftsmen you need. However, it's too far and unsafe to travel from Lonely Mountain to Windcloud Peak, so we can only contact you to come here."

"And Lord Dain Ironfoot has already forged the dragon armor and has asked us to bring it to you."

Dui's eyes lit up when he heard Balin's words.

"Are you all ready? Where are you?"
