Durin's Diary

Chapter 15 Allies
Old Ish's order does not tolerate any opposition, especially for secular people. Although Bishop Cassel, who came from the church, has always hated evil, he thought that this time he could find the mastermind behind the survivors and let the survivors come forward to testify, thereby confirming the crimes of the mastermind, Count Klein Saric. At that time, the Elf Territory would unite with the Great Forest and the Original Creation Bishops to take action at the diplomatic level, and Count Klein and his family would surely die.

So Bishop Cassel finally agreed to pardon the crimes of these five survivors - on the condition that they turned themselves in.

If the Duke of Ish Elsh's assurance only made these five survivors, who knew they were doomed, half-believing, then the assurance from the regional bishop of the Church of the Twin Mothers made them completely convinced - the assurance made by the bishop of the Orthodox Church was truly unquestionable.

With the double guarantee from the Duke and the Bishop, the five survivors naturally told everything they knew.

Soon, more information emerged. Durin read the confession and found that this team alone, under the instructions of Earl Klein, had entered the southern forest several times this year and kidnapped at least twenty beastman children. As for the whereabouts of the children... there is a saying that goes, once I think of killing your entire family, I suddenly feel that the world is wide.

During this period, Old Ish asked Du Lin how he would handle this matter if it was handed over to him.

"The heads of all slave-hunting team members will be priced. The first five who surrender to us and identify their former teammates will be pardoned. All male direct descendants of the main culprit, Klein Saric, must be killed, regardless of age." Du Lin had no mercy on the human traffickers. These ugly lives would only make food more expensive. As for not leaving the criminals alive, they would kill them... Haha, tear them up. By then, all the children in the criminals' families will have a price tag.

Being kind to criminals is a secondary harm to the victims.

The law should not show its tolerance where it should not be shown. Indeed, criminals are also human beings, but in Du Lin's view, human traffickers can never be considered human beings - stealing bread from a bakery in order to survive can be forgiven regardless of gender, age or status.

But those who kidnap cubs for money deserve only death. He and his family thrived because of the cub trafficking, so even breathing was wrong for them.

This land is never short of vengeful demons, and parents who have lost their children don't mind having the blood of their enemies' offspring stained on their hands. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood—this is the daily routine of this land.

Some people may say that they are human beings too.

I'm sorry, but this view has no basis in this land. The hatred of the victims can kill the human traffickers along with the lunatics who hold such views.

"You are, after all, a kind and good child." Bishop Cassel sighed in a comforting tone after listening to Dulin's speech: "The Extermination Order will not be as lenient as you say."

Du Lin was a little embarrassed - was this all kindness?

Old Ish had nothing much to say. Only Anta came over after everyone else had dispersed. She looked at Du Lin with a little fear: "For a moment, I felt like you had become so strange."

"Now?" Du Lin asked with a smile.

"It's the Du Lin I'm familiar with again, because I found that you are right. If you are not cruel to your enemies, how can you comfort the parents who have lost their children? And the masterminds behind these human traffickers have also gained too many benefits from their business. If such a family can be passed down, their business will grow bigger and bigger, and their children can read good books and go to good schools, and then join such a business... This is too terrifying for innocent people, isn't it." Anta said here, his expression became more solemn.

You see, this is the kind of girl I like. She is sensible and empathetic, but she will never be soft-hearted and make the wrong target. For example, human traffickers deserve to die. If the law shows mercy to human traffickers, what about the children who were sold? What about the parents who lost their children and eventually went crazy or died on the way to find them?

Are they nothing more than collateral damage of crime in the eyes of those who make the laws? Their sacrifices, their sufferings, their grievances...are they nothing more than the tears of the times?

In his previous life, Du Lin often asked himself this question, but he had not studied law and could not read those thick tomes. The children who graduated from the tower had only an extremely simple sense of right and wrong. Killing someone means paying with one's life, and debts must be repaid. All of this is so natural.

So Du Lin couldn't understand why the laws in southern Thailand were written like this, and why those judges who came out of the ivory tower would show such twisted mercy to the world - is it really just because of mercy that human traffickers will not harm children?

You are wrong. The best way for human traffickers to avoid harming children is not to abduct, steal, or forcibly take children.

Therefore, the best outcome for human traffickers is to die from the very beginning.

From the moment they abduct a child, they are harming the child, and this harm is likely to accompany the child throughout his or her life.

Therefore, for children like Du Lin who graduated from the Tower, the blood of evil people in this world has not been shed enough, so that the bad people cannot keep justice in their hearts, which makes them despise the truth and makes justice seem so pale.

Fortunately, Du Lin’s favorite job in his previous life was to kill people like this.

Watching them fall in a pool of blood with their relatives and watching their blood flow on the ground was the only time when Durin did not feel guilty.

Some people really deserve to die, while some are innocent... and really need help.

In order to help the parents of abducted children seek justice from the traffickers and their masterminds, Du Lin is always willing to give big discounts, and will even provide help for free because he sees their predicament.

The children of the tower are used to facing reality, just as they are always loyal to their ideals.

There has never been a heaven, and the world... is just another name for purgatory.

"But this is the adults' job." Anta's voice sounded in Dulin's ears.

Du Lin turned to look at Anta, and saw her hesitation: "One day this will be our job, Anta."

Responsibility will one day turn into obligation and become a burden on the shoulders of every child who grows up. This is the meaning of life - just like in the Eastern Elf Territory, the grassland elves gave up their nomadic life in the woods, and the earliest ancestors came to the east with the mother tree and took root. Their later children united to take care of the cubs and raise the disabled and the elderly. Generation after generation used their flesh and blood as the cornerstone to build civilization, and every pair of hands tried their best to protect the flame representing civilization from being extinguished.

In Dulin's view, when all living things unite and build a paradise together, this is true civilization.

No matter how much some creatures dress themselves up, they cannot represent civilization if they have sores on their feet and pus on their heads.

They are merely the concrete manifestation of the sin within the hearts of living beings, the epitome of greed, the embodiment of the source of all evil. "Anta, you know what? Year after year, the elderly will grow older, the middle-aged will grow older, and we will grow up... We will eventually take up the banner from their hands." Dulin remembered his mentor in his previous life. Dulin lacked talent or gifts, but he still had faith in Dulin's future, because his generation was clearing that world, impartially distributing death and judgment to every sinner. No matter who they were, they would not escape death.

Even though Du Lin became like that later, he had no intention of blaming Du Lin. He only blamed himself because he was too busy and failed to teach Du Lin well.

Therefore, Du Lin respects his mentor very much, and he wants to live a good life again when he comes to this world. But maybe one day, this world will need the skills he has learned all his life to clean up the filth, and Du Lin will not be stingy at that time.

Are you afraid of getting your hands dirty?
The youth of any of the mentor's apprentices is spent in a pool of blood of sinners and fellow travelers.

Who among the apprentices of the Tower has not killed a sinner? When the justice represented by the law seems pale, the children of the Tower will always stand up.

Why should we stand up?

After all, it is the laws of mortals that have failed mortals, so mortals must fight, but the children of the tower have chosen a more radical and bloody path.

Because even children know that begging alone will not get you anything. It will only make people point at you and laugh at you, laughing at your naivety and stupidity.

Only when the beheading knife falls will they remember that they and those they are facing are of the same kind.

But it's too late. Most stories in the world are about not giving up until you reach the Yellow River and not shedding tears until you see the coffin.

At this time, Anta leaned sideways and sat on the right armrest of the big chair where Dulin was sitting. She reached out and held Dulin's hand.

"If you take over the flag from the adults, I will be your most steadfast ally." The girl's face was full of determination. Her persistence made Du Lin smile a little happily. He squinted his eyes and reached out to pat the back of her little hand on the armrest.

The allies of the grassland elves have two meanings. If they are of the same sex, they are standard allies.

If they are of the opposite sex, it means that he and she will form the strongest covenant - husband and wife. In the world of grassland elves, there are none of the inexplicable things of humans. Marriage is the best way for two sincere hearts to entangle with each other that can think of.

"I believe that our alliance will last forever." Du Lin responded with a smile.

………………

That night, Anta really stayed in the guest room. Old Yishi took the initiative to go out, and Old Silver Dragon went to Aye's house alone, so no one came to pick her up.

You must be sweating profusely, everyone in the Ayer family.

When the girl woke up and went downstairs the next morning, Du Lin was already feeding Hemer in the living room.

As the big one in the owl family, the eagle owl has a big appetite. Although it is not clear what Hemer eats every night, as long as she feels hungry, Du Lin will feed his eagle owl girl well every morning.

Anta walked down the stairs and came to Dulin.

"What's wrong?" Du Lin, who was feeding the last few pieces of meat in the bowl to Hemer with chopsticks, turned his head and took a look: "There's something strange on my face."

"No, I just wondered why I didn't realize that you are actually quite handsome." Anta said as she took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Du Lin. She also had experience in feeding Hemer, and she quickly learned to use chopsticks.

Wow, this is real praise. Du Lin has heard too many compliments about his cute looks in his life, but this is the first time that a peer has said that he is handsome.

This touched Du Lin deeply. "I never thought you would become so beautiful when you grow up. I'm sure more and more guys will chase you. My list of rivals will definitely extend from Lublin to the Central Bank Province."

Anta giggled, showing her fangs: "Not at all, you are the only one who likes a fierce girl like me."

But you never treat me harshly, and that has no meaning to me.

Du Lin smiled and narrowed his eyes. At the same time, Anta's little secret appeared on the curtain hanging behind her.

Moreover, she is confident that in the future she will challenge the position she most desires to obtain - becoming the eternal ally of Durin Elsh.

Are you scared of such an ambitious girl?

There was a smile in Daju's whisper.

Du Lin squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

How could that be? Anyone with such ambition must be my best, most outstanding and most irreplaceable ally.
