Chapter 028 Watching a Movie

In the eyes of the dwarves, using the head and heart of Durin's Bane to forge treasures for the King under the Mountain who slew the Balrog was a sacred and highly honorable task.

They were full of enthusiasm.

Especially Thorin, who worked there. When he heard that Durin's Bane in Moria had been slain and its head and heart used to forge treasures, he immediately realized that the dwarves were about to enter a glorious era.

Since Moria no longer had Durin's Bane, he could lead his people back to Moria and rebuild the dwarven kingdom—Khazad-dûm.

But Thorin soon calmed down.

Rebuilding Khazad-dûm was no easy task.

Khazad-dûm had been abandoned for too long; rebuilding it would not happen overnight. More importantly, it had become a lair of monsters.

Just clearing out those monsters would consume a great deal of time and energy.

Of course, even more important was money.

Rebuilding Khazad-dûm absolutely required money, but the problem was that the wealth of the Lonely Mountain now lay in Wang Bo's hands. To reclaim that wealth, they had to forge five unparalleled treasures.

So Thorin decided to forge the treasures first, then get the money, and then use that money to rally the dwarves and rebuild Khazad-dûm.

He would surely become the king who led the Durin's Folk to revival.

At the thought of this, Thorin was filled with vigor.

He gathered a large number of dwarves and began discussing how to use Durin's Bane—the Balrog's head and heart—to forge an unparalleled treasure for Wang Bo.

The dwarves working in the Lonely Mountain joined the discussion, and they even invited dwarves from the Iron Hills for help.

And they did not refuse. Everyone discussed excitedly.

A few days later, the dwarves devised a sound plan to use all the materials at hand, with the Balrog's head and heart as the core, supplemented by mithril and vibranium, to forge an unparalleled suit of armor.

The Balrog Armor!

But before forging the armor, the dwarves designed several blueprints and submitted them to Wang Bo for his approval, hoping he would choose one.

Wang Bo took a moment from his busy schedule to glance at them and found that the dwarves' designs still adhered to the Western knight armor style, looking not at all cool. So he flatly rejected them.

Since they were going to forge armor, it had to be stunningly handsome armor.

So Wang Bo brought out his Apollo Cloth, which was not only practical but also incredibly cool. At the same time, he brought out the blueprints for the Pegasus God Cloth and other constellation God Cloths, handing them to the dwarves.

Upon seeing these blueprints, the dwarves were dumbfounded. In their eyes, many of these designs were quite impractical—good-looking but not very functional.

But Wang Bo's idea was simple: revise them until the designs were both reasonable and good-looking.

This put the dwarves in a difficult position.

Swinging hammers and forging iron was their forte, but design and art were not; those were the elves' domain.

If they hadn't fallen out with the elves, they could have asked them for help.

But now they had fallen out, and Thorin's pride would not allow him to seek help from elves. So the dwarves had to revise the blueprints again and again.

To this end, Thorin even sought out the humans living in Lake-town, hoping they could help.

After all, they were also subjects of the King under the Mountain. In Thorin's view, asking for help from the king's subjects was not shameful.

Bard, the Master of Lake-town, was also at a loss when he received Thorin's request. He really didn't understand design, so he found a few blacksmiths and some painters from Lake-town.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the people of Lake-town and the dwarves, using Wang Bo's blueprints as reference and after some modifications, they settled on the final version of the Balrog Armor design and presented it to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo's eyes lit up when he saw the final design. It was handsome yet elegant and unique, no less than the God Cloths, and more practical.

"Good, go with this!" Wang Bo immediately made the decision.

With Wang Bo's approval, the dwarves began forging.

But forging a powerful suit of armor, especially an unparalleled one, was no easy task. The dwarves divided into several groups and took turns swinging their hammers.

Days passed one after another.

The forging of the Balrog Armor went smoothly. Wang Bo estimated that it would be completed in a few more weeks.

After all, the materials used were too precious; every step had to be error-free and tempered countless times, which required time.

Fortunately, Wang Bo was not short of time.

He had plenty of time; a few weeks meant nothing.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Bo sought out Elsa and Anna.

A few days earlier, Wang Bo had promised that if his two students studied magic obediently, he would give them a small gift when he returned.

So this time, Wang Bo came to fulfill his promise.

The gift was to take the two girls to the world where Yazi lived, letting them see what a bustling modern world was like.

Compared to the ancient Arendelle, the modern world's architecture, education, and crowds amazed the two little girls, drawing exclamations of wonder.

"Come on, I'll take you to watch a movie." Wang Bo smiled, holding the two girls' hands as they walked into a cinema and picked a foreign film.

After the movie, Wang Bo bought Elsa and Anna an ice cream and took them to an amusement park.

After experiencing roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, pirate ships, and a series of other rides, the sky grew dark.

Then Wang Bo took the two girls to a Chinese restaurant for an authentic hotpot meal.

After the hotpot, Wang Bo took them to a night market and bought them a few pieces of clothing.

By the time Wang Bo returned Elsa and Anna to Arendelle, the two little girls had exhausted their energy for the day, nodding off as they walked, their eyelids constantly drooping.

Wang Bo smiled and sent the two girls to their rooms. As soon as he stepped out, he ran into their mother, Aduna.

Aduna looked at her sleeping daughters and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang Bo."

She was very grateful to Wang Bo. If not for him, her eldest daughter would still be living in fear and would not be so happy.

"You're welcome. It's what I should do," Wang Bo said with a smile. "After all, they are my students. As a teacher, I always hope my students can be happy, don't you think?"

Aduna smiled knowingly.

Wang Bo then took his leave, departed from that world, and returned to the Lonely Mountain.
