Durin's Diary

Chapter 125 I am loyal to my ideals and I face reality

After getting off the tram in front of the God of Knowledge Daily newspaper station in the Cogenhagen and Lübeck area, Du Lin looked at the newspaper in front of him, finally lit a cigarette for himself, and then walked towards the lobby.

Then he was naturally stopped by the guard.

"What can I do for you, sir?" The older of the two guards stepped forward.

Du Lin drew the stigmata of the god of knowledge on his chest and said, "I came to the newspaper office to place an advertisement on page three."

On the way here, Du Lin had already learned that the third edition of the God of Knowledge Daily was a huge advertising page filled with various advertisements.

"Oh, come, I'll take you to see the editor." Realizing that the strange old man in front of him was here for serious business, the middle-aged guard with the short horns unique to the Cretans on his head motioned for Du Lin to follow him.

As he walked into the hall, Du Lin looked at the busy crowd in front of him in a daze - until the guard called a young man.

"Mr. Jacob, it's great to see you. This old man wants to place an ad on page three. I brought him in, and he happened to meet you." The guard said this and turned around. "Old man, this is Mr. Austin Jacob, who is in charge of the advertising page. Please speak to him if you need anything."

Young Austin Jacob came over with a smile. Wearing only his shirt because the heating was on, he held out his hand. "Austin Jacob, reporter for the newspaper and head of Page 3, good afternoon, old man."

"Good afternoon, young man." Du Lin smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

Although we have met before, this is the first time we meet.

"What kind of advertisement do you want to run, sir?" Austin took Du Lin to his workbench and took out several templates.

"I just hope to leave a message in the advertisement column on the lower left corner of the third page of Wisdom Daily." Du Lin waved his hand. Zhiyi didn't need those grand words.

Austin nodded in understanding. "So, what would you like to say?"

"The newsboy died because of the waiter." Du Lin said, and then he noticed that the young man's pupils shrank.

But he still laughed: "What a strange message, but no problem, I can help you put it in the newspaper."

Du Lin smiled and took out his wallet: "How much is it?"

"Fifteen Northern silver coins. Please go to the storage room on the second floor to pay." Austin pointed to the second floor. Du Lin looked up and saw the storage room.

Nodding, Du Lin walked up the stairs. When he reached the second floor, Du Lin saw that Austin had picked up the phone. Noticing Du Lin's gaze, he smiled and pointed in the direction of the storage room.

Du Lin nodded with his eyes narrowed, then walked towards the storage room.

It seems that the news that the newsboy died because of the waiter had already been known to those who wanted to know before it even appeared in the newspaper.

Austin 'Doc' Jacobs.

Doctor, it seems that there are indeed many people who sincerely believe in all this. Northernism... is not as useless as we think.

Daju is sighing.

When Du Lin went downstairs after paying the money, the young person in charge of page 3 accompanied Du Lin all the way out of the building. At the door, he looked at Du Lin and said thank you.

"Can you tell me who asked you to come?"

"Can I trust you?"

Du Lin did not answer him immediately, but asked back with a smile.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then sighed and nodded. "Southern accent, double chin. You must be the Ezio Auditore da Firenze from Florence that the police informant mentioned. I heard you're working for Mr. Turin now. I'm sure Jack sent him a message for us."

"He is dead. After the five questions of the deceased were asked, he ignited the soul fire just to deliver this message. I have never heard of such a thing. If it weren't for the young master seeing it with his own eyes... I wouldn't want to believe such an absurd plot." Du Lin said softly, and he drew the holy emblem of the original creator on his chest.

The young man remained silent, and finally drew the holy symbol of the Primordial Creator on his chest. "May the Lord forgive his presumptuous behavior. You can call me Doctor. Little Jack is my comrade's subordinate, and we have no horizontal connection."

"Little Jack is trapped in the purgatory of loyalty, and the young master is being whipped by the torture device of trust. As for me, I'm accustomed to being loyal to my ideals and inured to reality. So, I heard his request and came here." At this point, Dulin opened the cigarette case in his hand. "I'm Ezio Auditore. The young master asked me to find you. Since you are the person he described, you should be able to meet the young Corleone family and his prairie elf wife. My client wants me to thank a gentleman who helped the beggar mother and daughter at the station. My client saw it all."

"You..." The young reporter looked at Du Lin in some surprise and doubt.

"Just ask Roy and you'll know. Speaking of which, there's this waiter. What's the story behind Winston Churchill? What's his relationship with Fred Rick?"

"I can't tell outsiders about these things." Austin shook his head.

"As far as I know, Winston Churchill was also a waiter, just like Frederick. To be honest, there are logical errors in what little Jack said. I don't know if this is a problem after his death or his memory was tampered with when he was alive, so you'd better find out quickly which waiter betrayed little Jack. My employer doesn't want a traitor to get close to his sister." Having said that, Du Lin turned and left.

"I understand." Austin's firm answer came from behind.

Du Lin didn't look back, just waved his hand.

The only person who had come into contact with the newsboy's body today, apart from the secret police, was Du Lin. Even if Du Lin didn't say it now and the young man didn't guess it, these guys could still find out. Du Lin used his old appearance to point it out, which actually increased its authenticity.

Neither Du Lin's parents, nor this doctor or that doctor, they are not traitors.

And Du Lin really hopes that he can help these mortals who are pursuing their dreams.

I don't want a traitor to be my brother-in-law.

....................................

When Du Lin returned home, Xia Li opened the door for his master and gave him a message - the Extraordinary Market will open tomorrow, and Mr. Cole came to make an appointment for tomorrow's itinerary at noon.

Of course Du Lin remembered the agreement with him. Anyway, he had a day off tomorrow and the academy festival would not start until then.

So Du Lin went to Mr. Cole's house in person and made an appointment with him for tomorrow's itinerary. Mr. Cole would accompany his son in person, and for this he reluctantly gave up the holiday hunting day he was supposed to have.

Asking a hunting addict to stop hunting is similar to asking a fisherman to stop fishing. Both are extremely painful choices, but they still made the great move of giving up their beloved activities just to accompany their cubs.

This made Du Lin stand in awe.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Cole and his family, Du Lin returned. Xia Li had already started cooking dinner, and the messenger from Anta, her little astrological dragon, came uninvited.

It brings good news and bad news.

The good news was that Anta had already gotten off the boat, but the bad news was that she and her friends had gotten lost and were now dragging their luggage while waiting for Dulin to rescue them. Dulin sighed, put on his coat, and walked out of the warm building.

While standing at the intersection waiting for a horse-drawn carriage, Du Lin had the idea for the first time - should he buy a small car?

However, he didn't wait for the rental carriage, but a Gintama stopped in front of Du Lin.

Mr. Cole's smiling face appeared in the rolled-down car window: "Good afternoon, Du Lin, where are you going?"

"To pick up my girlfriend. She came to visit me during her holiday." Du Lin replied with a smile.

"Then I can't just turn a blind eye, Mr. Du Lin, get in the car. After all, it's hard to stop a car here." After saying that, he smiled and opened the passenger door.

With the car, they soon arrived at the street Anta mentioned. At the fork in the road, Du Lin, who was leaning on the car window, saw Anta and Karina holding suitcases. What surprised him was that Tomimi was being held by Karina.

After not seeing Anta for a few months, she had grown a little taller, her long hair was braided into a pigtail and hung on her chest, and she wore a pair of glasses with large pink frames on her face, which made her look very cute.

Karina still had her long hair. She held the suitcase in one hand and held Tomimi's hand with the other.

The girl Tomimi lowered her head and carried her luggage bag, looking like a punching bag, which made Du Lin sigh in his heart.

Like Kalina, Anta wore a gray robe with three red sleeves, which was only used by high-level mage apprentices.

These three girls are standing here, and there is no one so blind as to cause trouble. It can only be said that Copenhagen is destined to be peaceful today.

"Oh my god, are these the female companions you were talking about? You didn't use the plural word just now, young man, you're really going too far." Mr. Cole turned the car and looked at Du Lin's surprised face. "Three girls, all of them are stunning beauties."

Du Lin hehe - what else can he say? Even if he jumps into the galaxy, he can't wash himself clean now.

"Isn't this the car you built?" Anta stood in front of the car window and glanced at Mr. Cole in the driver's seat.

Du Lin introduced them to them.

"Cole, Dulin's good neighbor." The young man introduced himself and gestured to Dulin to open the back door of the car.

But Anta opened the car door with ease.

Du Lin got off the car and carried the three girls' luggage into the trunk using activated branches.

"Okay, where are we going now?" Mr. Cole asked after Du Lin got in the car.

"Number 411." This time, Du Lin and Anta said in unison.

Prince Locke's eyes widened, and after starting the car, he finally managed to utter a word.

"It's nice to be young."

………………

After returning home, Du Lin helped the girls unload their luggage and said goodbye to Mr. Cole, who was still able to make jokes and liven up the atmosphere along the way.

When I turned around, Karina had already dragged Tomimi into the house.

Anta stood at the door and looked at Dulin with a smile.

Du Lin smiled and walked up to Anta, hugging the girl in front of him.

"Yes, I know. Grandpa Yishi told me after he came back. He said you have artistic talent. The music and movies you make are all very good." Anta smiled happily: "What a great ally."

"Of course. I'm working on a new project recently. I'll let you take a look at it first." Du Lin said as he simply reached out and picked up Anta and walked into the small building.

"You've gained weight." As soon as he started to touch her, Du Lin felt something was wrong.

"When I miss you, I feel hungry and want to eat." Anta was a little shy.

Du Lin was silent, then hugged her tightly - since his own girl said so, what did a few pounds of weight matter.

After finally carrying her into the building and putting her on the floor, Du Lin saw Tomimi holding the photo frame. He felt like he had done something wrong. Just as he was about to make amends, he saw the girl holding the photo frame in her arms. She turned to look at Du Lin with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Brother Du Lin."

This is more like my good cousin.

"This is where Fabien lives. The landlord wanted to throw away all his things, so I stayed." Seeing the girl's happiness, Du Lin pointed to the bookshelf beside him and said, "Fabien's diary is up there. You can take a look."

The girl was stunned, and her smile could no longer hide her sadness. Karina glared at Dulin and immediately began to comfort her.

Anta reached out and tugged at Dulin's ear. "Karina's right. You and her boyfriend really are from two different worlds. You're such a stinky, blunt person. You can't comfort anyone at all."

Du Lin's ears were pulled, and he rolled his eyes in pain: "Why can't I compare to her boyfriend?"

"I've read the love letters her boyfriend wrote to her. They're so sincere," Anta responded.

"Yes, a fellow who can't even maintain his male ethics, rolling around in a group of women and was caught by Karina. I will at least remain a virgin for you." Du Lin had a sinister intention - damn Higgins, at this moment, if you don't die, who will? There is a saying that a fellow Taoist would rather die than I, and now is the time for you to die!
Anta sneered, she took Du Lin to the kitchen and lifted the curtain.

Du Lin saw Elaine.

The little girl leaned against the glass window and stared at him.

Anta snorted and pointed with her little hand. Elaine, who was turning to flee, was fixed in place by a human immobilization spell.

"Grandpa Yishi told me everything." At this moment, Anta pulled the kitchen knife out of the knife holder.

Du Lin was trembling—after so many fierce battles between allies, this girl had used a knife for the first time! It was over. After being stabbed this time, there was no telling how long she would have to rest. This girl must not resort to knife attacks recklessly.

Then he watched Anta stab the knife into the table with a dark face. The girl raised her head and looked at Du Lin with a bright smile on her face: "Why don't you invite Miss Elaine in? I want to try the Farol dishes she cooks."

Du Lin was stunned, and then broke out in a sweat in the room at 15 degrees Celsius.

Do you eat the food she cooks?

You'd better stab me.
