Durin's Diary

Chapter 136 Stop and Go
Yesterday's encounter with the old fish and the prince named Kelar was more about Durin finally catching the attention of those who cared about him - after doing so many things and seeing someone die so magnificently in Gaye Castle, anyone who wasn't an idiot should have paid some attention to him.

But there's nothing to worry about. The way they follow people is just laughable if you tell people about it.

As for the problem of bullets, this is really not a problem. The Ring of Truth released the news that Durin had provided the Ring with the process of making bullets, and that some craftsmen of the grassland elves had successfully reproduced it. Now the unlucky guys on the list were either competing to do atonement missions or fleeing across the ocean to overseas colonies. No one had time to mess with Durin.

As a freshman, Du Lin did not need to participate in the college's activity arrangements, but this did not prevent Du Lin from coming to the college on the first day of the holiday. While watching the big guys in the senior grades carrying various building materials in the square, he introduced the three girls who came to play with him to Mrs. Salin - there was no need to introduce Elaine.

The first person introduced was Tomimi. When Mrs. Salin heard that she was Dulin's cousin, she thought for a moment and then gave the name of Tomimi's mother.

Tomimi was surprised, but admitted it.

"I knew you were Xiao Laoliu's daughter. You look a lot like your mother." Mrs. Salin's face was full of nostalgia.

Tomimi, who had already heard of Mrs. Salin's identity, bowed with a smile and said, "Good morning, Madam."

The second person introduced was Karina. Hearing that she was Anta's friend, Mrs. Salin smiled and nodded: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes." Karina was a little embarrassed. She probably didn't understand why the lady would ask this.

But Du Lin would not give the two of them room to think wildly. He pulled Anta over and said, "Antanya, my ally."

"The most steadfast ally," Anta added with pride.

Mrs. Salin certainly understood the meaning of the allies of the grassland elves. She stroked Anta's head with a smile on her face. However, considering that she still had a lot of things to do and had to supervise the students to set up the venue for the movie, she could only let Dulin and the girls play freely.

"Come to my house when you are free, and I will make Lublin meat pies for you." However, before parting, Mrs. Salin still extended an invitation.

Anta naturally agreed and accepted the invitation on behalf of Dulin.

"Can this lady really make Lublin meat pie?" After they walked far away, Tomimi finally asked her question.

"I believe she will do well. After all, she is a close friend of Lord Ish." Kalina said with a smile. She also looked at Dulin: "I heard that you like Lublin meat pies very much. Even Anta learned how to make meat pies for you."

"Well, I really like it." Du Lin smiled as a matter of course.

There is an old story about meat pie. In the story, Du Lin was about five years old and received a meat pie from the old dean for the first time.

That day, the orphanage was so festive that it seemed like Chinese New Year.

From that day on, meat-filled pie was always a delicacy in Dulin's eyes, a delicacy worth more than gold. Even if the meat in that pie was entirely artificial, even if the pie was made with stale flour, nothing else could replace it. In Dulin's heart, it always represented the most sacred delicacy.

After the orphanage was abandoned, the old director disappeared. Du Lin, who followed his mentor back to southern Thailand, always thought that he would never be able to eat such a cake again. Until three years ago, a little girl with greasy face appeared in front of him with a cake. The thick dough was half burnt, and the meat inside was almost cooked. Du Lin complained about the girl's cooking skills, but he was very happy to eat it.

It turns out that there really are reunions in this world, it turns out that this is the beauty in memory, it turns out... there are still people in this world who will make meat patties for themselves.

Thinking of this, Du Lin looked at Anta and said, "Of course, Anta's meat pie is the best meat pie I have ever eaten."

You are also the best girl I have ever met.

"It sounds corny to me." Karina said with a smile as she took Tomimi's hand: "Tomimi, let's go. Don't pay attention to these two guys who think corny things are funny."

Tomimi also smiled and ran to the front while holding Kal'tsit's hand while being led by Kalina.

Du Lin took the hand that Anta offered him.

"Dulin, it seems you have been promoted again." After shaking hands, Anta looked at Dulin.

Du Lin nodded, because several things that happened before had given Du Lin a lot of experience - for example, communicating with the dead, together with that strange music box and the music he made, gave Du Lin a total of 130,000 experience points and more.

Among them, the music box was worth 80,000 to Du Lin. Maybe it was because of the difficulty. After all, this thing is really weird.

Then, adding the second work, Du Lin spent several days on it and also received a considerable reward of 40,000 experience points.

Finally, there is the warlock experience, and effective meditation also increased a little, not much, but at least three or four thousand.

What is called getting rich overnight? This is what happened to Dulin. Dulin Lily Ash

Candle Dragon Vein Warlock's Extraordinary Talent
Fire Control (Level 1): Fire is the innate talent of Zhulong. The fire of a Zhulong warlock can melt all metals.

Casting (Level 2): ​​Zhulong is naturally good at casting, and the quality of the weapons he casts will be improved.

Wanfa (Level 3): Zhulong is proficient in everything related to fire, and he can master and drive all the fire-related techniques in all schools.

Weapons (Level 4): Zhulong is proficient in mace-type weapons. When using mace-type weapons, Zhulong is regarded as having double strength and obtains double identification value in strength confrontation.

Candle Dragon Warlock Extraordinary Mastery

Glimmer (III): Zhulong can choose any fire spell as his own innate mastery. The chosen spell cannot be a divine spell. The basic damage of the innate mastery spell will be doubled. Each time he casts a spell, he can choose two from all the super magic.

Originally, Du Lin wanted to break through to level five in one go, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. It’s not impossible to keep some backup plan.

And if he can reach level five in one go, then in the monthly evaluation of the Mage Tower, he will jump two levels in a month. This is too scary.

"Isn't it good for me to become stronger?" Du Lin asked with a smile.

"That's great, of course. It would be best if you could catch up with me this year, so that when I take you back to Lublin to visit relatives, you can help me kill everyone." Anta hugged Dulin's arm with a sweet look on his face.

Then they heard the high-pitched squirrel screams. Dulin and Anta turned their heads and saw Mason. The squirrel instructor came running over and said, "I was just looking for you when I ran into Madam Salin. She said you were here. Come, kid, I'll take you to see the world."

Mr. Squirrel looked very happy. Du Lin followed him, and he kept talking to Du Lin about the situation in the music room up ahead: "Let me tell you, Du Lin, these are the best musicians in this world. We just mentioned that music you made a while ago, and there are a few old guys who are still suspicious of you. Let's go meet them."

"Are you going to test me again?" Du Lin asked with a smile. "To be honest, I really don't understand. I just made the music that came to my mind."

"That's why it's so precious. Honestly, do you think there's any left?" As they ascended the stairs, Professor Mason's expression was a little serious. "Although your composition is impeccable, two bad guys are claiming this piece was written for you. It's really infuriating."

"It's your enemy, right, mentor?" Du Lin asked with a smile.

"How do you know?" Teacher Mason was a little confused.

"Where there are people, there are conflicts." Considering that the word "jianghu" is not easy to translate, Du Lin changed it to another word, and this word was highly praised by mentor Mason.

"Yes, that's right. It's true that he and I had some conflicts. If you can perform a song on the spot, I, your mentor, can slap him in the face." Mentor Mason said this, looking at Du Lin with expectation.

Du Lin thought about it and nodded again: "I have indeed thought of several songs for the new short film. I have to save my mentor's face and choose one of them today to express my feelings."

………………

"Sir Mel, do you think Mason will use the excuse of picking someone up to teach that kid a new song?"

At the same time, in the small conference room, the middle-aged man who had just looked over the records again looked at the old man sitting in the center.

"Mr. Locke, you and I are both instructors at the music conservatory. I've taught for fifty-five years, and you've taught for twenty-seven. Have you ever seen a genius who can master a piece in one sitting, who can perform an entire piece of music after just one lesson? If Du Lin is truly such a child, then Mason should teach him." The old man narrowed his eyes at the middle-aged man. "I know you and Mason have had some conflicts, but we both have to trust Mason's character. He's not the kind of person who would flatter the aristocracy for the slightest benefit."

"Indeed." Someone in the room agreed. The young elf smiled and nodded. "Mr. Czerny is right. Although Mason is a beastman, he has a noble character. Even those of us with long ears have heard of him. Moreover, I have some connections with the secret police. Their undertaker claimed to have witnessed the entire process of Durin making this music in less than half an hour."

"Mr. Yinye, what do you think of this child?" a halfling asked curiously.

"His Excellency Duke of Ai Ersh adopted him as his great grandson, certainly not because he is the only boy. This child helped the dwarves some time ago. I believe that in order to be a good musician, besides talent, one must also have a noble character." Having said this, the elf looked towards the door.

Mrs. Salin, who had been smiling beside him, raised her eyebrows: "Our Mr. Mason is back with today's protagonist."

Then, she fell silent with him, because they both noticed that there were more footsteps.

On the other hand, the elderly Locke stroked his beard and looked at the four little guys who filed in. The tall-hoofed old man smiled and narrowed his eyes: "I believe in Lord Elsh's grandson. Let's wait and see, everyone."
