Durin's Diary

Chapter 223 The Joys and Sorrows of Life
Du Lin walked out of the transmission passage and climbed up the stone steps - he would not take the elevator today.

Tanya, holding Elaine's hand, followed Du Lin. Changing into a brown short-sleeved shirt and long skirt, she gazed at the distant sea. "The last time I came to Everforged Fortress was three years ago. Grandpa took me along this path then, at dawn, just as the sun was rising from the sea. That was the first time I understood that the so-called metropolis of Copenhagen is but a tiny part of the human world. Compared to nature, we humans are so insignificant."

"Sister Tanya has been here many times, but this is my first time leaving Copenhagen. I looked at the distance on the map and realized that Copenhagen is so far away from Eternal Fortress." Elaine looked into the distance, and the sea breeze blew, blowing her long hair.

"If this piece of land is high in the sky, it looks like a small piece with the naked eye, but it will appear very large if measured with the feet." Du Lin said as he climbed up the stairs. This spiral stone staircase is the most famous landscape of the Everburning Nest and even the Evercast Fortress - there are more than 1,600 steps in total, and the entire spiral staircase is carved into the cliff.

It's still early, so there aren't many people here. If it were later, there would be more tourists and visitors.

When they arrived at the gate of the Everburning Nest, Du Lin looked at Mrs. Lin standing at the door and nodded slightly: "I'm back."

"Welcome back." Mrs. Lin looked at Tanya standing behind Du Lin and said, "Ms. Alkin, you are a rare guest."

"Yeah, grandpa doesn't like going out much." Having said that, she made an assassin's gesture.

Mrs. Lin smiled and returned the gesture with the same gesture. She looked at Du Lin with even more fondness in her eyes: "Mr. Du Lin, you still bring me surprises."

"I believe that our alliance with the Alkin Chamber of Commerce can create a better tomorrow for all of us, and even for this land." Du Lin said, looking at Mrs. Lin: "Madam, where are my girls?"

"They are all on the top floor." Mrs. Lin replied with a smile.

Du Lin took Tan Ya all the way to the top floor.

I saw a few girls gathered around the table looking at something.

"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated."

Du Lin hung his coat on the hanger and spoke.

"We are discussing the Changtang people's ships, which are different from ours." Anta raised his hand with an obedient look on his face.

"Really? I haven't seen her before." Du Lin said as he introduced her to the girls: "By the way, this is Tanya Alkin. We decided to make money together."

"Then take me with you! Our Idar family can also make money!" Alyssa, the little deer, cried out.

"Hey, aren't we already allies in business?" Du Lin asked with a smile.

The little deer girl stopped yowing and started to giggle.

Girls these days are so easy to fool, Mr. Du Lin. Don’t you feel guilty for fooling a mentally retarded person?

Daju started to act sarcastic.

Du Lin let out a light "Puh" sound and began to introduce everyone to Tan Ya.

First up is Anta.

"I know, your ally, childhood sweethearts are really good." The girl happily hugged Anta, who was a little embarrassed. After all, the grassland elves were always in awe of the human girl's embrace and face-saving killing.

There's no need for Elaine, as she is being led by Tanya like a puppy.

This also made Du Lin respect the regret between Robbie and Rowling. The two people in love were eventually separated because of regret. Although they loved each other, they kept each other's bottom line until death separated them.

Alyssa, in her words, the Idar family and the Alkin family still have business dealings, and Xiaolu happily hugged Tanya.

Before Melinda could say anything, Tanya hugged her happily: "What a cute little rabbit! I heard that you were the one who killed that old pervert, right? Well done."

Melinda's face was covered, and within seconds, the ears collapsed.

But Lina, the little female dragon, just shook hands with Tanya in a very ordinary way.

"Copenhagen has been a bit turbulent lately. Those who can afford it are sending their families away," Tanya said, spreading her hands towards the girls in Durin. "My grandfather sent me out. There are green-skinned orcs in the wilderness, but at least they're monsters. We can shoot them if we see them, and we won't have any worries." "That's true," Lina nodded, then looked at Durin. "Mr. Durin, how long do you think this turmoil in Copenhagen will last?"

"That depends on what His Majesty is planning to do. Normally, it shouldn't last this long." Tanya said this and looked at Durin, who was lying on the sofa touching Kal'tsit. "Durin, tell me what you want to do."

"I'm not a worm in His Majesty's stomach, how could I possibly know?"

Du Lin shook his head.

Analyzing international affairs, evaluating social issues, putting the finishing touches on the dead, and passing judgment on the living are not what the old assassin, Turin, is good at.

What Du Lin is good at is using an axe to chop other people's heads as firewood, using a gun to decorate other people's heads, and using all the tools he can use to enlighten all the fools in the world.

"By the way, have you had breakfast?" Du Lin asked after patting Kal'tsit's head and asking the girl to make room.

"No, but Uncle Hannibal said he would bring breakfast up."

"Then we're in for a treat." Tanya smiled and hugged Elaine. "Let me tell you, Mr. Hannibal has learned the cooking skills of Chang Tang. His barbecue is super delicious."

At this time, Daju suddenly started playing music in Du Lin's head.

Du Lin listened for a while, until the familiar music made his cerebellum shrink severely - No, Daju, how come you even have little songs about being a human being, what kind of music database is this, why is it so weird.

Isn't that good? That's Hannibal.

The banter between medical AI and patients comes and goes quickly.

Because Melinda opened the door, Uncle Hannibal, dressed in a dwarf suit, walked into the room pushing a dining cart.

The girls began to organize the drawings on the ship with laughter. Du Lin stood up and helped Uncle Hannibal serve the food.

And Daju still played his songs.

Both Kal'tsit and Hemer gained something.

Elaine opened the box she brought back, which contained eggs that she and Dulin had bought from the market. She put them away and then came to Dulin.

Du Lin reached out and stroked the little bird, and then found that the red feathers on both sides of her head became more and more obvious.

Is this the mercy of the Twin Mother Goddesses?

At this time, the dishes were served.

Du Lin and others took their seats.

Uncle Hannibal stood in front of the empty seat at the table and introduced the various breakfast dishes to Durin. Then, he unveiled the largest dish on the table: "Roasted warty beast meat, the best beast meat in the Great Wasteland."

Tumor beasts are a specialty of the Great Wilderness. Du Lin has also eaten them. They taste like beef.

Then Du Lin heard what his uncle said.

"Let me ask you a question here first." The dwarf looked around with a serious expression.

The girls waited and watched, and Du Lin strictly controlled his expression.

“There are no vegetarians here, right?”

After asking, the dwarf smiled and opened a bottle of fruit wine: "Bon appetit, everyone."
