Durin's Diary

Chapter 144 Humility is a Virtue
Considering that Du Lin's second short film was a task assigned to Whitebeard, the principal issued a gag order.

The mentors were naturally willing to give Durin this face and substance - the second part talked about the heroes and wise kings of various races, just like the halfling mentor named Littlefinger. Her own family was from the Brando family of Betty Brando's Sidney, and was a branch of it.

"I grew up listening to the stories of my great-grandmother Betty. Thank you for bringing her to the screen. Thank you." The young mentor hugged Du Lin.

Du Lin patted her back comfortingly. "Betty Brando, the uncrowned saint, is as worthy of our remembrance as every hero and wise king in history."

At the end of the show, Alyssa held Du Lin's hand tightly and said, "Du Lin, are you really willing to choose me, a mediocre singer, as your royal singer?"

Du Lin smiled and held out his hand: "I'm not the kind of person who is good at going back on my word."

Alyssa finally placed her little hand in Durin's palm with joy.

Elaine expressed great respect for the visuals of Du Lin's short film: "Du Lin, can you teach me how to create images as delicate and gorgeous as yours?"

"This is a bit difficult because it requires your imagination, but I can tell you the principle." Du Lin was about to speak when the astrological dragon belonging to Anta flew over.

It brought news from Anta - she was outside the college now, and because she didn't know which building Du Lin was in, she hoped Du Lin would come out to pick her up.

This is necessary.

Du Lin came to the gate happily. Anta was already standing under the eaves of the guard room with Tomimi.

Du Lin brought Anta into the academy, immediately attracting many curious glances. Instructor Fernando appeared in front of Du Lin with many people's curiosity: "Ah, I'm looking for you, kid, uh, who are these two people next to you."

"Antanya, my ally." Du Lin introduced Anta, then pointed to Tomi, who she was holding: "Tomi, my cousin."

"Ah, good morning, little Dulin's little ally and cousin." After saying that, Instructor Fernando pointed behind him and said, "Good boy, the principal sent me to see you. He wants you to go to the office. Someone is coming from Wuyou Palace."

Okay, did you come to Wuyou Palace by smelling the scent? What a coincidence.

Du Lin looked at Anta, and Anta smiled and motioned Du Lin to go quickly: "Du Lin, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Tomimi and play with Elaine."

That's good. Du Lin is happy to see Anta and Elaine playing together.

So Elaine and Alyssa accompanied Anta and Tomimi, and Dulin followed tutor Fernando to the principal's office.

Do you think that this time the dwarf headmaster will be pinned to the wall by Madam Saleen's magic hand again?

That won’t happen. After all, everyone in Wuyou Palace is here. Although Madam Saleen is arbitrary, she will definitely not bully the principal in front of outsiders.

Regarding Daju's malicious intentions, Dulin felt that Mrs. Salin was still very sensible.

The fact was just as Dulin thought. When Fernando pushed open the door, he saw the principal, Mrs. Salin, two white-bearded men and the largest landowner in the land sitting together, watching Dulin's new work.

"Robert, look, the academy's greatest future talented artist is here." The principal turned his head and saw Du Lin, and immediately smiled and praised his student.

"You, I have heard this from you no less than a hundred times, but you are right this time. A true genius has walked out of your academy." After Robert Walter finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Dulin. He smiled and waved to Dulin: "Child, come here." Dulin stood in front of Robert with a well-behaved face. His Majesty looked a little old, but he had not fallen into the same predicament as Mrs. Rowling Salio.

He looked at Du Lin and finally showed a playful smile: "It's great that Yi Xu has a great grandson like you. I'm a little envious."

The two white-bearded men in Wuyou Palace had blank expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were not in a position to make any sharp comments.

Du Lin didn't know how to answer and could only smile foolishly.

Mrs. Salin smiled and smoothed things over: "Yishu will only have this one grandson in his old age. Besides, he is your blood after all."

"That kid Roy has been naughty since he was little. When I heard that he tricked Ish's little daughter back home, I was really scared for a long time. I was afraid that Ish would be so angry that he would turn into a silver dragon and fly over to smash the Corleone family mansion and my Sans Souci Palace together."

This was obviously a joke, so everyone present laughed.

Of course, Du Lin couldn't laugh along.

Luckily, the landlord knew this joke wouldn't pan out well for Du Lin, so he redirected the conversation to the short film he'd just watched. "This thing you filmed has a breathtaking beauty, son. Do you know the disappointment and sadness of every hero and king as their lives unfolded before me?" At this point, the old man sighed deeply, "I suddenly realize that movies have a much better use than just photographing women's thighs. It was you who discovered this use, son."

"I am just a small grassland elf standing on the shoulders of a giant called art." Du Lin responded easily and humbly.

The principal began to applaud with a satisfied look on his face.

Mrs. Salin looked at Robert with a smile: "You lose."

Robert, who had lost the bet, looked melancholy. He reached out and rubbed Dulin's head. "You know, just now your mother-in-law, Saleen, told me that no matter how much I praised you, you would always respond with humility. Now I lost five gold coins to her. Can't you be proud for a moment, you little brat?"

Despite what he said, the old man seemed unusually content.

Du Lin smiled, thinking that people are really smart. Old Yi Xu was right to be afraid that his eldest grandson would suffer. Even though he had clearly lost, he still had to argue with her to decide the winner. The call of "Grandma Salin" completely blocked what Mrs. Salin wanted to say, making her blush.

However, this also proves that His Majesty, the principal, Mrs. Salin, and old Ish were really good friends when they were young.

"Okay, kid, I'm leaving. I'm very satisfied to see your new work today. If possible, please show your true strength and make a story for me that belongs to people of our time. How about it?" Having said that, Robert stretched out his hand, he was looking forward to it.

But Durin was silent - the words spoken by the old man in front of him and the hand he extended represented an invitation from a king.

Finally, Du Lin smiled and handed over his hand.

The young man and the old man held hands tightly.

"Ready to serve you."

"Then it's hard work for you."
