Durin's Diary

Chapter 13 I have a dream...

After getting off the carriage in front of the small manor, Anta asked her carriage to take her three friends home, and then followed Dulin into the manor.

As soon as they entered the gate, Xia Li, who was cleaning the hall, saw Du Lin and Anta and immediately ran over: "The master came back and went out again. He said that since you are back, you should stay at home. By the way, I have already fed Miss Hemer the meat."

"I know." Du Lin said as he stretched out his hand to lift Xia Li up. Xia Li was only 90 centimeters tall, only reaching Du Lin's chest - no one knew why she was so small, maybe she was a mixed-race.

Xia Li felt a little embarrassed. She had no idea that Du Lin was petting a cat. Du Lin couldn't pet a big cat, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

Du Lin loves this kind of golden kitten so much. Although she is three years older than Du Lin in this life, she is still cute.

Anta smiled and patted Xia Li's head as he was put down by Du Lin. "Do your job well. Du Lin and I don't need your help."

"Okay, I'll continue cleaning." Xia Li took the broom and continued her work.

Du Lin turned his head and looked towards the second floor. His pet eagle owl, Hemer, was standing on the handrail on the second floor, staring at her owner with a pair of big eyes.

Raising his eyebrows at his eldest daughter, Dulin took Anta into his studio. The studio was on the other side of the kitchen and was Dulin's important arsenal.

This is the biggest part of Du Lin's money-making business. Copying books and the like are completely incomparable to this.

"Are you making your new gun again?" Anta exclaimed at the various muskets on the wall as she entered the room. She obviously found that there were a few more strange guns on the wall.

Taking the actual situation into consideration, most of the guns made by Durin are pistols, basically revolvers and imitation Glock series.

Of course, there were three rifles as well, but they were all shotguns, because the rifles... well, there were many reasons, and the biggest reason was that after Du Lin dislocated his arm twice with the rifle he made, he decided not to consider full-power rifles until recoilless stocks were developed.

After all, everyone uses full-power bullets these days. Dulin also tried half-power bullets, but the small-caliber half-power bullets couldn't break the shells of wild monsters, and the large-caliber full-power bullets almost shook Dulin into habitual dislocation. It can be said that he threw away an elf and got a Lublin.

The blueprints for the full-power automatic rifle are now locked in a safe at the Engineering College. The old men all say that this thing is too advanced.

Among shotguns, the first one Du Lin made was a double-barreled shotgun with a long barrel, wide sights, and a grip-type handle. In order to facilitate two-handed holding, there was an additional grip under the barrel. It was with this design that Du Lin successfully entered the Craftsmen's Guild. After using the new gun, the police officers said that the shotgun had never been as easy to use as it is today, and they could shoot wherever they pointed.

The second one is an imitation of M870. This gun is the stepping stone for Durin to become a new elite in the Craftsmen's Guild. It was named Durin Type 11 by the association (11 is the age when the gun was made, which is an acknowledgement of Durin's identity as a gunsmith). The police system and hunters' guild of the entire Eastern Elf Territory praised this gun and its various modifications - from the Durin 11 Big Guy Type for big guys over two meters tall (12 rounds of ammunition, large caliber of 8, 6 or even 4, and barrels of various lengths), to the Durin 11 Small Guy Type for grassland elves (3 rounds of ammunition, ultra-short barrel, no buttstock), and even rifled barrels for steel core single-headed bullets.

This gun can be said to be a culmination of all - a quick-detachable stock, various iron ring sights (including a 2x scope and a small iron sight on the side of the gun), a pump with an arcane flash light, a horizontal muzzle, a convergent muzzle, and everything that can be made is available.

The evaluation of this gun in the human world can be summed up in three words: it sells like crazy. Nowadays, if the nobles of various countries in the human world go out hunting without a Durin 11 Hunter model (three-fold scope, rifled long barrel, fast loader), they would be embarrassed to call themselves the most fashionable hunters.

The police officers of the Eastern Elf Territory are also the opponents that all the powerful people are most reluctant to encounter. While the police officers in other places are still using revolvers, the police officers of the Eastern Elf Territory have begun to use firepower to conquer the uninvited guests.

The third Dulin was almost done - this gun was requested by the police in response to the increasingly serious supernatural crime incidents, and the military also approved it after seeing it.

The prototype is Saiga-12, with a folding stock, interchangeable barrel lengths, simple and reliable stamping parts, and a full range of sights from quadruple to red dot. It has ambidextrous ejection ports and arcane crystal red dots on the sides, and the handguard also has various grips to suit user habits. There is also a large muzzle brake to reduce recoil.

Most importantly, this new gun, which was obviously named the Durin 13 by the Craftsmen's Association, which has difficulty in naming, uses a 10-round straight magazine. The middle of the magazine is visible, and the remaining number of bullets can be clearly seen.

Moreover, Du Lin also took out two curved magazines with 14 and 20 rounds, as well as two round drum magazines with visible remaining number of rounds with 20 and 30 rounds.

The military constantly battled monsters and aberrations in the east. Ten prototypes were delivered to the commandos, earning widespread praise. Their simplicity and reliability meant easy maintenance, and even jams were easily fixed. The soldiers were impressed by the lethality of the full-strength slug rounds. Despite being semi-automatic, they could fire at high speed, effectively dispatching previously formidable monsters and aberrations with a single, crossfire. Against the military's numerous two-meter-tall, bulky figures (such as tall-hoofed bullmen and forest giants), the 4- and 2-caliber heavy-armored models proved incredibly powerful, capable of swiftly dislodging a massive aberration. A forest giant (three meters tall) even managed to rip a hapless aberration from half its body with a 1-meter-tall -caliber steel-core slug.

The military asked for 12 guns and spent a large sum of money to purchase the patent for the gun blueprints. They also paid Du Lin an annual salary and required that Du Lin must approve any new rifles he made in the future. For this, Du Lin was promoted three levels in the Craftsmen's Association. Now he is the hottest star gunsmith. The most important thing is that he is only years old.

This is what it means to have a promising future.

Anta also noticed the new gun. She took a few looks at it and said, "What a strange appearance. Just like you said, it should be something full of violence and killing."

Du Lin smiled. At that moment, he thought of what Yuri Orlov, played by Nicolas Cage, said when he was standing at a crossroads filled with bullet shells: "You know, Anta, one out of every thirteen people in this world uses the shotgun I made. My biggest dream is to get the remaining twelve people to buy my guns."

"Haha, in that case, you are the richest grassland elf in this land, right?" Anta smiled and poked Du Lin's face.

"If I have money, I can do a lot of things. I can take you to the beach in the south, to adventure in the snowfields of the far north, and most importantly, make a good movie for you." Du Lin said his true dream with a smile.

At the same time, he vowed to make the movie that would leave a lasting impression on him - Lord of War.

Durin really liked the sharp political satire in the film - you see, this land does not believe in tears, does not believe in laws, justice has always been in the arms of those who hold swords, and truly kind-hearted people are rushing to work for the future of this land, so that they die early.

But those villains, those conspirators, and those warmongers can live out their lives in peace and contentment, their families flourish, and their descendants live long and prosperous lives.

Such a world is truly regrettable.

"Do you really want to make a movie that will be better than the ones made by humans... Wow, are you serious? You are not lying to me." Anta was a little confused and nervous.

"Of course, I believe I can take photos that are countless times better than theirs. You have to trust me, okay?" After saying that, Du Lin smiled and took down a Glock 23C from the wall. This was his gift to her. "I remember you have a gun license, right?"

"Yeah." Anta didn't reach out his hand. "I remember you said this was the first non-revolver gun you made. It's very commemorative."

"Yes, but today is your birthday. Happy birthday, my ally." Dulin's smile finally made Anta happily open his arms, but not to hug the gift, but to hug Dulin: "I thought you had suffered so much and forgot for a moment. Look, I forgive you."

"I won't forget your birthday, my dear ally." After saying that, Du Lin handed the gun to Anta. She took the gun with a smile, turned on the safety, and then put it into her private space - this is the good thing about being a mage, a mage's private space can hide a lot of things.

Du Lin chose a Glock 33 for himself. It was small, reliable, and suitable for Du Lin's hand. In this era when strong men used revolvers to shoot occasionally or six times a second and then hid behind the bunker to reload one round at a time, the future master gunsmith Du Lin had given them the strength on the road to doom more than once - don't look at the small size of this gun, the standard magazine is 10 rounds, and it can accommodate a 16-round long magazine. Du Lin even has a 24-round extra-long magazine.

Moreover, Durin installed a fully automatic mode on the gun. When the arcane power gloves were activated, there was almost no sense of the muzzle jumping up.

Its sustained firepower crushes everything, and its use of dumdum bullets makes it perfect for dealing with tough opponents. Even if a strong opponent can transform—such as stoneskin or elemental transformation—there's no need to worry. Durin's spells have plenty of ways to make them lose their temper.

"Do we really have to prepare to this extent?" Anta was a little surprised.

"That group of merchants must be disguised human traffickers. If they are dispersed by my grandfather, what if some of them suddenly rush over to the small manor and try to take hostages?" Du Lin gave Anta a very realistic possibility.

Spells require casting time, and it's not as fast as just pulling the trigger of the weapon in your hand to kill a strong man.

Anta thought about it and nodded vigorously again.
