Durin's Diary

Chapter 175 Meeting

When the gate of Corleone's mansion became clearly visible, Dulin hesitated again - hesitant because he was not yet ready to meet his family in this life with any identity.

Yelena stood at the door and knocked. On the way, Yelena had stored the remaining urn in a safe house. The secret police and relevant departments in Copenhagen knew what the urn represented, and it was too dangerous to carry it with her.

So, they had to take a short detour, but the result was good. The sentries on the bridge were much tighter, but Yelena and Dulin, who returned empty-handed, were obviously not the people they needed to question.

Soon, a young man opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, Du Lin suddenly understood why Professor Jason mistook him for him in the car that time.

The person in front of me must be Poole... and he must be my brother in this life.

The young man who opened the door was obviously stunned when he saw his sister and Du Lin behind her.

Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped aside to make way home: "Welcome back, Yelena, and...Dulin."

Yelena walked up the steps and stood on the other side of the gate: "Brother, come back."

Looking at his brother and sister, as well as the small figure standing in the corridor, Du Lin finally chose to take a step back. "I have to go. Today's events have been quite a commotion. Yelena, you need to take care of your personal affairs as soon as possible. Just leave the key under the blanket. I won't rent that safe house again. Don't look for me there."

"Then where are you going?" Yelena asked puzzledly.

"I'm Doolin Elsh, and of course I'm going to where I'm needed." Having said that, Doolin stretched out his hand and waved to his relatives as a farewell.

"Du Lin." The young man called Du Lin.

Du Lin turned around and looked at his brother in this life with a hint of doubt.

"My name is Poole, Poole Corleone... You are always welcome back to the Corleone Mansion." Poole said with a smile.

The doubt on Du Lin's face finally disappeared. He smiled and nodded: "Protect yourselves, my sister, and you... my brother."

After saying that, Du Lin walked towards Anta who was standing in the distance.

"Be careful on your journey." I heard the advice from my brother and sister behind me.

Du Lin didn't look back, but just raised his hand and waved, as a response.

………………

Standing behind the curtains, Roy watched his children walk towards the bridge with the girls. The open window allowed him to clearly hear the conversation between the children.

Roy knew exactly what happened in the park because his own people, who were hidden deep inside the secret police, had already sent out the information.

Professor Jason died, the traitor Winston also died, and his youngest son brought back Jack's ashes and executed the traitor in such a desperate situation, and evacuated safely with his sister.

Later, facing the pursuit of the red-robed high-level wizard, even the gods came to help.

Roy turned around and looked at his lover standing outside the door. There was a smile and regret on her face.

"My mother asked me if I regretted it, and I was indeed stubborn." Roy said, and calmly reached out and held the hand of his lover who walked in front of him.

"I thought you wouldn't admit it." Lily sighed with a smile.

"People need to learn to understand their own weaknesses, learn to forgive their own foolishness, and understand what sins they have committed and what motivated them to make them." Roy looked at his children, who were getting further and further away. He still couldn't enter this home. He must still resent me, his heartless father.

"I believe Du Lin is not a cold-blooded child. What he did today proved to us that he is a child who cares about his family. He just doesn't know how to face us." Lily gently comforted her husband.

Roy didn't answer. He just looked at his children until he led the girls across the bridge, until he and they were no longer visible.

"I don't hope to be forgiven by this child. Such an idea is too extravagant. I just hope that he can understand me, understand the wrong things a foolish father did for his ideals... understand the small contribution a father in this position made for so many comrades. Their blood, their injuries, their life and death all depend on my thoughts. I must arm them to the teeth, I must ensure that every battle of theirs is fully prepared, I must sacrifice my own little self..." At the end, there was a hint of trembling in Roy's sigh.

He sat down on the floor and held his love in his arms.

"He will forgive you, just like when he saw Poole, he called him brother even though it was the first time they met." Lily hugged her lover's neck and comforted him in his ear: "When he grows up and has his own career and family, he will understand."

………………

When crossing the bridge, Alyssa slowed down her pace. She looked at Du Lin with curiosity on her face: "Why don't you go in? I feel like there is someone behind the curtains on the second floor of your house. If I'm not mistaken, it must be Mr. Roy, your father."

Du Lin was silent.

How could he not feel that gaze?

But because of this, he had to break away from the Corleone Family in front of all the intentional and unintentional observers on the street.

Durin is a grassland elf, his last name is Elsh. If something goes wrong one day because of what Copenhagen does, Durin can just run away.

But the Corleone family is so powerful that it is not easy to turn around.

So Du Lin couldn't let his brother and sister suffer. He could recognize his brother and sister because they were blood relatives and anyone could reason with them.

In addition, he had to make this gesture. Only in this way could those people see that there was always a gap between Doolin Elsh and Roy Corleone.

He could never fit into this family.

Yes, I really couldn't fit into this family, because I was just a lonely soul, a wild ghost, a child without a home. Since I was a child, I could only grow up counting the stars in a small manor near the town of Lublin.

It is precisely because of this that everything Du Lin did could not be related to this family.

Perhaps such indifference would make old Ash frown; perhaps such ruthlessness would surprise others.

But it is the best way to protect them.

Therefore, Du Lin turned his head and looked at Alyssa: "I can recognize my sister and brother, because they can't be the ones who decided to send me away. As for my father... I think I will never forgive him in my life. He values ​​his career more than a happy family, and he must bear this price."

As he said this, Du Lin felt a hand holding his.

He looked up and saw Alyssa. The little deer smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we are with you.”

Du Lin's silence finally turned into a smile: "You really know how to comfort people, Alyssa."

"Of course I am. I am your singer. As your singer, my job is to bring you happiness."
