Durin's Diary

Chapter 164: Endless Malice
The Corleone Mansion.

At night, 11:40.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Roy, as the current owner of the mansion, looked at Spencer who had returned with some curiosity: "Uncle Spencer, where is my daughter?"

"At Durin's place, Durin drove away Winston and his cronies. The lady seems to have confirmed that Winston is the traitor." Spencer answered as he hung the sword and scabbard at his waist on the weapon rack.

"...As a father, I'm a complete failure. Other girls at this age are learning to cook and knit, but my Yelena is learning to defend the truth with swords and guns." At this point, the gray-eyed head of the family sighed, "My daughter must want revenge herself."

"Young Master Durin just went out alone to the shrine of the God of Vengeance. I didn't follow him in, but the result is self-evident." The half-elf stood there with a serious expression.

"I...how should I explain this to Duke Yixu?" This time, there was a hint of melancholy on Roy's face. He looked at the portrait of his ancestors on the wall and sighed.

"Du Lin probably just wants to help his sister." Spencer guessed.

"No, don't I know this child of mine? He wants to seek justice for Jack in this unfair world. His target is the traitor." Roy sighed. "He hates evil and hates evil. The intelligence sent back is full of his story. I've never met him, but how could I not understand my child's feelings?"

………………

At this time, Du Lin was sitting in front of the shrine of the God of Vengeance with a solemn expression.

Because when he pushed open the door and entered the realm of the God of Vengeance, the blind maid came to greet him. She bowed her head and said to Durin: "Your oath is fulfilled."

My vow is fulfilled?
Du Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "Isn't there still a target who is not dead? Did he complete the mission of atonement?"

"Tony Stark is no longer alive, and your oath has lost its guardian." The blind maid said, lowering her head and looking at Durin.

This answer made Du Lin feel like he was falling into an ice cave: "How did Tony die?"

"You are too weak, child. The God of Vengeance will not reveal the identity of his target, because doing so will only harm you. Please understand."

Du Lin nodded in silence - I am too weak, this proves that the one who killed Tony must be a big organization, and the gods believe that Du Lin alone is not capable of defeating it.

So Du Lin took out the list in his pocket: "New list."

This time, there was no fluctuation in Du Lin's tone.

The blind witch not far away turned her head towards Durin, and the blind maid took the paper and said, "Child, Madam Polka likes hardworking children like you. You have completed a mission. Although there were some changes, Madam is very satisfied. Your assassination seems like an art. Come, follow me."

Du Lin followed the maid into the corridor. In an instant, the stone corridor disappeared, the lights on the wall went out, and the old Du Lin stepped into the ashes.

What I saw before me was a huge ruin. There was no life, only broken walls and ashes, not even a trace of green from plants.

Not far away stood a young man wearing a black leather robe. Under the pulled-up hood, the double-chinned God of Vengeance was looking at him.

Du Lin took two steps forward.

"It's been a long time since someone with a deep attachment came to my old capital. Mr. Du Lin, your arrival even surprised me. After all, in my opinion, you would have to be a true son of Zhulong, or possess at least the strength of a covenant protector, before you were brought here by Maria and the others."

The young man sighed at this point and said, "I was mistaken. I didn't see the anger in your eyes, nor the fire in your heart. Tony, you've only known each other for a short time. Why are you so determined to avenge him?"

"He's a friend. He can die in an accident, or in a duel, but not in such an unclear way."

"But you are still too weak now. I can't watch you die. I have seen your new list and I agree with it. I also have a small gift for you." After saying that, the young-looking god waved his hand, and Durin felt a dark spire tattoo appear on his left hand.

"This is a small gift left by the last person who came here with an obsession. When I met him later, he had already let go, but he also mentioned the organization he left behind. It's a pity it's already split." At this point, the god sighed like a human. "Today, I hand his token to you. You are free to display or hide it. Go, from today on, your revenge is yours. Draft a list and burn it at the first quarter of midnight. Then you can come directly here."

"Okay." Du Lin nodded.

"Go, Dulin, wherever you come from, go back and judge those you think deserve to be judged."

Durin touched his chest. The next second, the ruins vanished, the ashes vanished, and Durin stood in front of the corridor. The blind maid looked at the grassland elf Durin and bowed her head slightly. "It seems I no longer need to lead the way for you."

"But I still want to thank you, Sister Maria." Du Lin raised his hand, and the dark spire tattoo on the back of his hand flashed and disappeared.

"It's been a long time since I last saw the heir of this tattoo. Welcome to the shrine of my Lord." She smiled and nodded.

"I'm leaving." Du Lin said.

"I'll take you out." After saying that, the maid walked towards the exit.

Durin walked out of the gate. This time, the exit was on the river bank - the shrine of the God of Vengeance was hidden, and one could enter by praising his name, and the exit was usually also the entrance.

But sometimes, the maid would see them off in person, one for safety, and the other to keep their whereabouts secret.

This meant that someone was waiting for him at the entrance of Dulin.

It was a pity that his waiting was destined to be fruitless. Thinking of this, Du Lin headed back to the hotel.

On the embankment, Du Lin stretched out his hand and threw the list in his hand into the sky. The paper was ignited as it left his hand and turned into ashes in an instant.

Who took Tony away?

Who could have killed Tony so brazenly?

This organization does not seem to be afraid of the existence of the Silver Peak Clan. It is very powerful and has a targeted approach to capturing Tony. This means that Tony was most likely arrested for the assassination of the Irvin family. It must have been confirmed by the fortune teller of the School of Prophecy.

The School of Prophecy is such a trouble, unless you are like Durin, where the original body does not take action, but lets the aged self take action, and then transforms back to the original body after completing the assassination.

The fortune tellers of the prophecy school would never have imagined that an old assassin and a duke's grandson were using the same memory.

Thinking of this, Durin noticed a few Links boys next to the roadside cigarette stand. They were wearing various leather clothes and had the emblem of the Utari Brotherhood on their left arms.

Du Lin walked over. One of the older Links people seemed to recognize Du Lin. He lowered his head and said, "You must be Mr. Du Lin. I have seen you from afar."

"It's good that you know me. Tell Higgins to meet me at the hotel tomorrow morning. He knows where I live."

"Yes, Mr. Durin, it is your will." The Links nodded, then stopped smoking and left with his people.

Du Lin turned around and walked towards the street light.

Tony, my friend, I never thought that our meeting in the college restaurant would be the last time we would see each other.

There are so many ways on this earth to make a person disappear.

Du Lin had never been as desperate as he was today, because the friend he recognized was dead and he could not find any trace of him.

Thinking of this, Du Lin stopped again, thought about it, and finally reached out his hand.

A hired carriage stopped beside Du Lin: "Young master, where are you going?"

After telling the driver the address of Yinfeng's home, Du Lin got into the carriage.

I hope I'm not too late.

I hope the murderer is not so cruel as to not spare Tony's family and younger brother.
