Durin's Diary

Chapter 248 Elegy
Du Lin looked at Robert: "Your Majesty, I have no problem."

"Will you come back to help my old brother Duterte Marcus make a movie about me?" asked the old man.

Du Lin nodded and bowed. "I will, but after I finish making the film about you, I will no longer serve the Walter royal family. Please understand."

"I forgive you. My cousin died because of my eldest son... You can say whatever you want when you go back. If your grandfather wants to come and kill me, I will accept it."

"No, I will follow Madam Salin's wishes. She passed away in her sleep while staying overnight at your Sanssouci Palace." At this point, Du Lin forced a smile. "When I came to Copenhagen, Madam Salin took the most care of me. She... is my other grandmother. In the most dangerous moment, she stood before me and died in my place."

Robert sighed deeply, then gestured to Fisher. Fisher opened the door, and guards came in and carried away the bodies of the dwarf and Bailey on stretchers.

"I'm tired, kid. You and Czerny should go." Robert looked at Czerny and said, "Brother, do you see this? This is the retribution for being a king. I have truly received it today. What do you think? Are you happy?"

"I just feel sad. I did hate you at first, but Saleen was a good girl, and Bailey was obedient when she was little. It was power and desire that made him, and also destroyed her. I don't want to laugh at you, because you're too old. I wouldn't be surprised if you died on your bed tomorrow." At this point, Czerny lowered his head. "Senior, you're wrong. He shouldn't have been buried with the old doctrine. He should have lived to create the new doctrine."

He raised his head and looked at Robert. "You were wrong too. You shouldn't have gotten yourself involved in the vortex of power, which ultimately led to Bailey becoming what he is today. I forgive you, but I will never pity you. This is the retribution that power-grabbers deserve."

"Yes, I deserve it. I'm old now, and I've seen the congratulatory messages from the descendants of Northerners in the newspapers. They're not wrong. How many people on this land can enjoy a hundred years of life? It's like a dream." Having said that, Robert made a gesture of invitation.

Du Lin bowed his head and said his final goodbye to Mrs. Salin - he took her hand and placed it on his head.

Madam, I am leaving, carrying your expectations, your hopes and your regrets with me, and I will move forward.

After praying a final prayer for her, Du Lin stood up and followed Teacher Czerny to the exit.

I heard the old man coughing behind me.

Du Lin subconsciously looked at Robert and found that the old man was staring blankly at the palm of his hand.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth; he was coughing up blood. History books say he had an injury in his early years, and it seems the injury is difficult to control.

People will always grow old, whether they die on the battlefield or on a sickbed. Death is the fairness of life in this world and also retribution.

………………

Bailey's death and Dulin's clarification gradually calmed the anger that swept across Copenhagen.

Ish received a letter from Durin and was saddened to hear of Salin's death, but the mission of the Circle Elder prevented him from going to Copenhagen.

He entrusted Du Lin to attend the funeral.

Du Lin took the lead and took charge of the funeral and ceremony until Mrs. Salin's ashes were buried.

Until the end, Du Lin was unable to meet Mrs. Salin's soul. Perhaps she had no regrets.

Professor Czerny also helped a lot. The old deer seemed like a different person. Now he was strong and stubborn. He recruited back the students who had gone to Sidney and took on Mrs. Salin's responsibilities in the college.

Dean Sean fainted from crying during the ceremony. Although he and Mrs. Salin were a pair of bickering lovers, he had a deep affection for her. He always suspected that Robert was behind her death, until Du Lin swore that it was definitely not Robert who did it.

A week later, Durin arranged for the Everburning Nest to be managed by Mrs. Lin as before, and then returned to Copenhagen with his daughters. The renovated No. 411 was now completely remodeled, with three floors and more beds. The basement had also been improved.

Xia Li worked very hard but never complained, which made Du Lin very satisfied.

Back in Copenhagen, the girls from Durin had no complaints. They understood what had happened and knew even better what it meant to keep their mouths shut.

As for Maria, although the little werewolf didn't want to leave the Everburning Lair, it was too hot there. When she came to Copenhagen, the only feeling she had was coolness.

Before coming to the north, Maria's father, Kemis, bought a new home for her in Catania and paid for it himself, which made Dulin look up to this werewolf even more.

Dulin sent the grandson of his old housekeeper in Lublin to manage the small building. The young man also liked the south and the sea, which were scenery that could not be seen in Lublin for a lifetime.

Durin took Maria to visit the small building. She was very happy. After saying goodbye to her father, she followed Durin to Copenhagen.

When Duterte heard that Dulin had returned, he was very happy and drove to see Dulin and brought a sample film.

Dühring's days soon became very busy, even when the academy was on vacation - because Dühring had more time, so Professor Czerny watched Dühring's fingering all day long and began to teach Dühring everything he knew.

Director Duterte thinks of some incredible content all day long, and then discusses with Du Lin whether there is a way to make it happen.

It is indeed possible to do it, but Du Lin had to admit that it was very difficult to negotiate rationally with the old bear Duterte - let alone movies, in this world, Du Lin felt that he could only count on one hand the number of people who could run 8 meters sideways on the wall at a speed of seconds and hit people with a gun.

"You're making a fucking war movie! No one in a war scene can roll over and kill the enemy with a revolver at the same time!"

"War movies need to be innovative! Everyone is going to get sick watching people line up and shoot people!"

After a morning quarrel, Duterte and Dulin came to Wuyou Palace again.

This time, King Robert seemed to be better, but it was probably the divine healing that had taken effect.

He had to cover his forehead after hearing the reason why Dulin and Duterte quarreled in front of him.

"Du Lin is right. War is no joke. Old friend, can we get down to business? When I was young, I couldn't run a hundred meters on the slope of an embankment in eight seconds and kill five people with five shots."

"Okay." Faced with the strongest financial backer and the most evil Party A, Duterte gave in and compromised between making a war film or a fantasy film.

But he still refused to change his mind. When he left Wuyou Palace, he told Du Lin that he must use these ideas in his next film.

Du Lin felt that this great director was more suitable for making police and gangster films. At that time, the policeman and the gangster would step on each other's left foot and right foot, and shoot bullets at each other in mid-air, and they could even collide with each other... Du Lin accepted it.

It was amid such disputes and discussions.

September is here.

The new school year for the School of Art has also begun.
