Durin's Diary

Chapter 186 Do you have a friend named Shu?
The Great Wasteland is a name that can be heard frequently in Du Lin’s limited second life.

This land is actually not barren. The reason it was given this name is all because of the Kingdom of Hassan Sabbah, which was originally a new emerging kingdom full of hope. Unfortunately, it encountered the invasion of green-skinned orcs. Although these monsters are also called orcs, they are completely different from the orcs with tails and horns.

They have green skin and are generally over two meters tall, looking more like monsters.

In the afternoon, Dulin took Anta and Melinda through a fixed teleportation channel to the most famous place in the Great Wasteland - the Everforged Fortress.

As soon as Du Lin came out of the passage of the central transmission area, he found that Merlin's suggestion that he and Anta wear light clothes was the right choice - the temperature here felt at least around 30 degrees Celsius, and it was close to the sea, so it was a standard marine climate. Because it was afternoon, it was stuffy and humid.

Melinda is a freak. When she came here, she even took off her short-sleeved shirt and wore only a tight vest. She is covered in fur and is not afraid of the cold, but she is dumbfounded when the temperature rises. This is why she stays in the north.

Anta shot a spell on her, and the girl immediately felt the coolness: "It's really great to have a mage as a good friend."

Melinda sighed as she led Dulin, Lina and Anta towards Connolly Manor outside the third defense wall.

Yongzhu Fortress has a total of four walls, and there are satellite cities connected to the walls in the north and south. It is a huge fortress. It is said that it took craftsmen hundreds of years to build this fortress.

Many people also call Everforged Bastion the Eternal Fortress.

The Connery family had always served the original creator in the early days until Melinda's branch of Connery appeared. They were sent to the north by the family to take root and serve the grassland elves.

Although the two groups of Connolly are located in the north and south, they are united and often support each other. In the winter of the Great Wasteland, Melinda's group of snow hunters will also go south to hunt down the invading green-skinned orcs in the snowy wasteland.

Because of this, Melinda is the only one in the trio with actual combat experience. She has killed at least seven green-skinned orcs.

In her words, the green-skinned orcs are stupid, but they are also intelligent. They can organize armies and use small forces to land from other places. The Everforged Fortress only controls the large landing site in the east of the Great Wasteland. The entire Great Wasteland is coastal, and even the Principality of Farol in the west of the Great Wasteland is coastal. The orc fleets can sometimes break through the fleet's blockade.

However, the two sides have been fighting for so many years, and the Great Wilderness, the Great Woodland and the Eastern Elf Territory have suffered losses in the war with the greenskins, but the greenskin orcs have at most updated their cold weapons. They have not learned anything about the civilized world's muskets, from front-loading to fixed-loading to breech-loading.

Anyway, they can never learn anything related to gunpowder, and can only use bows and crossbows to fight against human firearms.

In the past, the greenskins could use large catapults to break through small fortresses, but now small fortresses are equipped with long-barreled cannons, and their catapults are just like targets.

What did you say that humans are still being oppressed?
For non-lethal parts, a green-skinned orc can take at least five full-power rifle bullets and still maintain combat effectiveness.

Lung and liver areas, they will not die immediately and may even continue to fight for at least a minute before collapsing.

The heart can still fight for ten seconds, but begins to lose its function after ten seconds. However, some individuals can even maintain their combat effectiveness for at least twenty seconds.

Only a hit to the brain can kill with one blow.

This is Melinda's own experience.

As for why humans could fight the green-skinned orcs back and forth in the past, it was because humans learned to use toxins - whether it was toxin techniques or biological poisons, they all had miraculous effects on the greenskins.

Moreover, the caster's spells are also very lethal to the green-skinned orcs - the greenskins are not afraid of fire, but their resistance to lightning and frost is not worth mentioning. One electric shock and one freezing will mean death.

I think these greenskins must be biological weapons from the old era - if they are ugly, people won't like them; if they are stupid, there will be no resistance. This is normal operation. I will definitely do it this way if I were in charge.

After listening to Melinda's introduction to the greenskins, Daju expressed his professional opinion.

·I think so too. They are too tough. Their muscle density must be very terrifying. They have little resistance to toxins, and their allergies to surgical techniques are probably a backdoor left by previous humans. If they really get out of control, then climate weapons and poison gas can easily end the lives of these man-made weapons.

Du Lin thinks so too.

However, the humans of the old era would never have thought that these biological weapons might be obedient, but after they died, these guys would have no commanders... It is estimated that they would most likely regard these "lives" in the Western Continent as targets for elimination.

And their successors are also fighting for survival.

Walking down the stone steps, Melinda occasionally introduced the city to Durin. She had spent her childhood in the manor until she was eight years old, when she got her first crossbow and followed her people to attack a green-skinned orc scouting team on a rainy night. Her father left her a half-grown green-skinned orc.

"Have you ever been scared?" Anta asked curiously.

"Of course I was scared, but I still pulled the trigger because he had a dagger in his hand. If I didn't kill him, he would kill me." Melinda turned her head and looked at Du Lin. "When I first saw Mr. Du Lin, I felt that he was a true hunter like me."

Anta turned her head to look at Dulin, but she didn't ask anything, just watched quietly.

Durin sighed: "The land beneath our feet is the largest hunting ground. All living things are both hunters and prey."

He brushed everything off with ambiguous words.

"Yes, creatures are both hunters and prey." Melinda said this, pointing to a three-story building in the distance. "That's our family's manor. The disabled elders and young children in our family usually live here."

As she spoke, she took Dulin's hand and looked at Anta.

Anta smiled and nodded.

So Melinda took Du Lin and ran towards the manor.

You know what, the graceful figure of the young bunny girl, the cute little tail, the long ears, and the furry body all over her body... reminded Du Lin of the little beauty when he was still in school.

It’s a pity that the beauty of the past only exists in memory.

And now the beauty is holding his hand and running on the bluestone streets.

The girl arrived at the entrance to the manor and happily greeted the old man sitting in front of the door: "Uncle Fanis."

"Ah, Melinda, why are you back at this hour?" The white-haired old man drooped his eyelids and looked at Du Lin with a strange expression: "Who is he?"

"My Lord," Melinda said with a smile.

Du Lin smiled awkwardly.

Then the old man jumped up and said, "Fuck! Where are they?! That skinny-tailed ghost from Chang Tang tricked our Melinda right to her doorstep!"

The gate of the manor burst open, and more than a dozen men, young and old, rushed towards Du Lin with swords, spears, and halberds.

The folk customs are really simple.

Daju sighed.

What the hell, it's all frozen.

Du Lin sighed and turned his head.

Anta was seen walking slowly towards them with a smile on her face, holding a small magic wand, and Lina was following behind her, laughing with great joy.

"I wanted to give you a surprise," she said.

Du Lin smiled: "Same, both are surprises."

Group human immobilization spell, seven rings.

My Anta has become a genuine seventh-ring high-level wizard.
