Durin's Diary

Chapter 247: Falling Chess
Du Lin took out a magic crystal and handed it to His Majesty, then took out a playback device from his bag: "The Bishop of the Twin Mothers was also present during the filming."

"I know that you prairie elves are very particular about doing things." Old Robert nodded.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Fisher Gregory walked in. The old fisherman seemed to have come in a hurry, even a little out of breath. "Your Majesty, I am late. The carriage was attacked by citizens on the road."

"Stay away from me, they threw shit on your car, right?" the old man laughed exaggeratedly.

Fisher felt a little aggrieved, but still stood obediently by the door.

Du Lin activated the instrument, and as the video played, when the guy who called himself Scylla said Johnson Waltz Alter.

The four princes, two, three, four and five, all turned their heads to look at their eldest brother.

Du Lin looked at him, feeling a little strange, because the boy didn't jump up to refute. Instead, he slowly took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, drank it, and then said, "Johnson Waltz Alter is indeed my man, but I never gave him this order. I do hate Roy, but I hate him because this guy stole my beloved Miss Lily."

Having said this, the prince sighed.

Du Lin looked at the circle under his feet and raised his eyebrows - wow, the truth potion.

How come this guy came prepared?

He must be on guard against his younger brothers. No one in this family is a good person.

"Call Johnson Waltz Alter to the palace, Fisher, and go in person."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old fish obeyed the order and left.

And Du Lin looked at the eldest prince: "Your Highness, I didn't know you were once my mother's suitor."

"Your mother had many suitors back then, but it was your father's sincerity that ultimately won her over." The eldest prince lowered his head. "I'm also very upset about Roy's death, because he and I were actually quite close. We went to school together and were in the same class. Although I hated this guy for stealing my love, I also knew that Lily wouldn't make the wrong choice, so I obviously didn't agree with her opinion."

Having said that, the circle under his feet has not changed.

And the emotion in his eyes when he mentioned Lily's name was undeniable: "I am saying this today to prove myself. I must tell you everything."

Having said that, he looked at Du Lin, his face full of apology: "I'm sorry, my feelings were too selfish and despicable. I have never mentioned this to anyone before."

"I forgive you. You are a gentleman. You keep your love in your heart and have never hurt my parents." Du Lin nodded.

The prince lowered his head and looked a little uncomfortable.

He has a problem.

Yes, he has a problem.

If he had a clear conscience, he should have answered Du Lin's words directly.

But he didn't, which made Du Lin and Da Ju suspicious of him.

But he didn't lie, because the assassination order issued by Johnson Waltz Alter was not really issued by him.

It is impossible for the truth potion to collude with the recipient to deceive people.

While waiting, Fisher returned, bringing Johnson with him.

This was a dwarf who stood beside Fisher very stiffly. "Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Look at this." Robert spoke to him and gestured to Du Lin.

Du Lin activated the instrument.

When Scylla called out his name again, the dwarf was stunned for a moment, then he looked at his superior: "Your Highness!"

"Wait a moment." Durin stood up and gave the dwarf a lie detection shot: "You continue." "You gave me the order!" he argued loudly.

"Nonsense! I never gave you any orders!" Prince Bailey stood up. "You framed me! Who is your real master?"

His feet also jumped in a circle.

"Interesting, who among you is a ghost?" Robert laughed.

Durin was silent for a moment, then finally looked at Prince Bailey: "Your Highness, can I cast Detect Lies on you?"

"You don't believe me!" The prince looked at Durin.

Durin nodded. "I thought the potion couldn't be fake, but I cast the spell myself. Now the dwarf has proven he wasn't lying. What about you? Is your potion real?"

Considering the rationality, Durin could only suspect the prince - the ritual could not be faked, because it was a divine magic, a gift given to Durin by an anonymous person, allowing Durin to use it to detect lies when he was not a clergyman. The ritual given by a powerful god could not be faked and was even more difficult to be deceived.

As for the potion, who knows.

Because of this, Du Lin had to doubt him.

The prince finally laughed. After he finished laughing, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Du Lin: "You are as suspicious and fickle as your mother!"

Du Lin was prepared, but when he put his hand on the holster, he remembered that the gun was taken away by the guard when he entered the study.

At the moment the gunshot, a figure stood in front of Durin. The power of arcane was blooming in her hastily pointed fingers, which was the immobilization spell.

Then there was a burst of gunfire.

When Mrs. Salin fell to the ground, Prince Bailey also fell to the ground, and the gun in his hand was kicked away by his brother beside him.

Fisher emptied the remaining bullets in his gun at the dwarf on the ground, then looked at Robert: "Your Majesty..."

"Bailey assassinated Roy Corleone, intending to frame his brother. After his plot was exposed, he attempted to assassinate Lord Durin... but was killed on the spot." At this point, Robert looked at the guard who pushed open the door and said, "You get out."

After the guards left, the old man sighed deeply and waved his hand: "Kailar, take your brothers out."

At this moment, the old man seemed to be dying.

After the four princes left, he looked at Durin.

At this time, Dulin was trying to save Mrs. Salin, but several bullets failed to penetrate her body. Even after Dulin used the divine instructions, the internal bleeding could not be stopped.

Mrs. Salin reached out and stroked Du Lin's face. Her face was pale, but her eyes were full of passion: "Child, don't tell your grandfather. Just say that I am old and died in a dream. In this way, he won't..." Before she finished speaking, the lady's hand fell on the carpet.

The blood flowed uncontrollably.

It flowed on Du Lin, on the carpet, and on her body.

"..." Du Lin finally slowly released the hand that was holding his wife and let her lie on the carpet.

She smiled as if she were asleep.

Du Lin walked up to Bailey. The prince was already breathing more heavily than he was breathing. Seeing Du Lin, he smiled and panted, "Lily doubted my intention to pursue her back then... Yes, I don't like him because your father does. I want to strike a blow against this favored child. Professor Jason likes him but not me... I want to prove him wrong... I, Bailey, never want to lose to anyone in my life..."

Du Lin sighed: "He was indeed wrong, because he underestimated your ambition and desire, underestimated your madness and persistence."

Du Lin never thought that this prince could be a pretender.

"I obviously love her so much..." After saying this, the prince sighed his last breath and stopped breathing.

Du Lin finally sighed.
