Durin's Diary

Chapter 101: My Ally in the Mage Tower

When Lorene Sario stood at the intersection waiting for her carriage to arrive, she looked at Elaine who had brought her here and said sternly, "Remember your oath, Elaine."

"Yes, grandma, but..." There was still some hesitation on the girl's face.

"I know your hesitation is not unreasonable at other times, but right now, I must find a safe haven for you. Remember what I said, child. I am doing this for your own good. One day you will understand my painstaking efforts."

The carriage arrived, and the old woman got in. She looked at the girl on the side of the road and said, "Go back. The boy from the Elsh family values ​​his promises. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him."

Then she closed the car door.

The carriage started moving. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her granddaughter bowing and turning away. Her heart ached. She took out the medicine bottle from her handbag, took out the pill and swallowed it.

Silly child, if I don't send you away now, when I die, how can your uncles find a good home for you? They will only treat you as a commodity. Your life will no longer have a journey, but will be like the commodities in the market, waiting to be sold at a price.

I have witnessed their stupidity and shortsightedness throughout my life.

Your parents didn't leave you in this world to make you suffer.

The pills worked, Rowling's heart stopped beating wildly and the colic was much relieved.

The old woman leaned back in the carriage and looked out the window at the city.

Our generation has reached its end. Those fellow travelers who failed to achieve legends have long been buried, with only tombstones left to tell their life stories... For some people, even a tombstone is a luxury.

Even legends like her and Robert had reached the end of their lives. So what if they were legends? In the end, they were just a page in history, a sentence in a story. The statue that had just passed by the car window, the legendary saint, was a hero of centuries past. But what good was a hero? A hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye. Saint Sidney, who had saved civilization from peril and was revered even by the people of the North, had become nothing more than a name in a story. The history in books, her voice, her smile, were now only hearsay.

It is precisely because of this that some people take risks and choose to associate with foreign gods and heresies, just for eternity.

But as a legend, Rowling naturally knew how dangerous the heresy of alien gods was. Compared to falling into the trap of these heresies, dying of old age was a very luxurious option.

More often than not, when you choose to sell yourself, your soul no longer belongs to you.

In most cases, you are no longer yourself. Your doomsday has already come before you die. What remains alive in this world is just a hollow shell without a soul.

Because of this, whether it is Rowling herself, Robert, or other legends, they would rather let the real messenger of death take away their souls than give up their free will as human beings for the false eternal life.

Because of this, Rowling must settle Elaine before the final time comes.

The family was scattered, and only Elaine made her worried.

Because she has a pair of purple pupils and is from the Red Feather Clan, in the eyes of the cultists, this is the best sacrifice. Now that Rowling is taking care of Elaine, her granddaughter has no worries about food and clothing. But what about the future? When Rowling becomes a part of history and becomes the tombstone in people's eyes, will everything still be as beautiful as the world seems on the surface?

So, Elaine needs a strong husband to protect her.

Durin of the Ai Ersh family is not the best choice at the moment, because there are many people who are stronger than him, and there are many young heroes in their twenties.

But Du Lin has an advantage that no one else has - not his family background, but his personality.

Rowling was very good at judging people. Among those young people, some were fickle, and some were fickle. Only Du Lin was humble, sincere, and kind-hearted, but also had ruthless means. He would save people, and even kill to save people. Rowling heard all his little stories.

People have two sides, but Dulin showed the best of both sides. In addition, from the news that the family merchants had survived from their travels, there was Dulin Elsh, Ish's great grandson, and Lublin's little master.

When these two titles appeared on the same person, Rowling had already noticed Durin. And when she learned the subsequent story, when she knew that Durin had come to Copenhagen, a network had already been woven. Is there such a thing as coincidence in this world?
Yes, there are many, but the ones that are known to the world are called conspiracies, and the ones that are unknown to the world are called coincidences.

Some people are born to be pitiful sacrifices, while others are born to create stories that are passed down from generation to generation.

Is it really innate? It’s just a matter of human will.

Loreen Sario, everyone knows that she is a powerful legendary wizard, but no one knows that she has another identity.

Rowling Sario, Disguiser Path, Step Zero: Dream Weaver - that is to say, Rowling Sario's legendary wizard is actually fake, her real profession is Disguiser Path, she disguises herself as a legendary wizard, so she is a legendary wizard.

She herself is actually a complete monster.

It’s a pity that monsters also have an end, and all life in this world will have this day.

At this time, Rowling noticed that the carriage slowed down. She looked out the window and saw a carriage with a tower-shaped family emblem intersecting with her own carriage.

It was the Corleone family's carriage.

When the carriages completed the intersection and when they accelerated again, a fleeting smile appeared on Rowling's face.

After all, there are more good parents in this world. It’s a pity for those children who have nothing.

Young Baron Corleone, you and your wife still love your child who was adopted by Ish.

I have truly understood it.

………………

Du Lin watched from the window of his room as Elaine watched the carriage leave. She glanced over here, then lowered her head and returned home.

Du Lin could understand that his destiny should be controlled by himself, rather than being manipulated by others, so it was natural for Elaine to be unhappy.

But Du Lin had already understood what her grandmother didn't say - the legendary wizard Lorena Sario didn't have much time left.

She was from the same era as Robert Walter. In that era, it was almost impossible for mortals to live to be a hundred years old. Even legends would inevitably be injured in long-term battles. And the most important point was that when a legend became old, it was also a sign that the legend's death was approaching.

Today, Du Lin saw the wrinkles at the corners of Mrs. Lorena Sario's eyes, the filth in her eyes, and the wrinkled skin on her hands that was as thin as paper.

Time is like an eternal night. Life is born in this night and naturally longs for the day. However, seeing dawn means that life has come to an end. Everyone will face it eventually. No one will live forever.

Mrs. Rowling had obviously waited for her dawn, so she couldn't wait to find a place for Elaine to settle down. Her relatives had shown their unreliability in previous events, so she could only turn to Durin for help, hoping that the eldest grandson of the Elsh family could show some kindness.

She knew old Ish, and was probably even familiar with him, so she came to the boy Du Lin for help.

This put Du Lin in a very difficult position. He wanted to help Elaine, but now he didn't know how to write a 5,000-word letter begging for mercy.

What else can I write? I’ll just write it anyway.

　Today I started to update three times steadily.
