Durin's Diary

Chapter 253: The situation is determined by human effort
Why did you help Robert?

After Duke Robbie left, Daju asked Du Lin this.

I'm not helping him, I'm helping everyone on this earth.

Northernism is now extremely weak, and among the princes, Prince Kelar obviously has no way to do anything in the military. Both brothers Sandor and Jon serve in the military, and they obviously have close ties with the entire military. It is precisely because of this that Sandor is so confident.

As for Locke, although he said he didn't care about politics, this young man had too much money and was very close to the southern nobles of the Five Kingdoms - most importantly, his wife was a distant niece of Duke Robie.

Duke Robie is his man, and he has the southern nobles behind him, just as Prince Sando has the support of the northern nobles and army behind him.

In the past, when Bailey was still alive, everyone had to respect the eldest son's identity as the heir. This was the legal basis of aristocratic inheritance rights. Whoever opposed it would be the biggest enemy of the entire aristocratic circle.

But now Bailey is dead, and Kelar, the second son, is playing the secret police game again, and the military doesn't like him.

So the military wanted to push Sandor, and there was no way Jon would compete with his own brother.

That left Sandor with only two rivals. And the speakers praising Locke today was killing two birds with one stone.

If it succeeds, it won't matter if a new person becomes the king of this land. Everyone's horses will still run, people will still dance, everything will be peaceful and prosperous, and nothing will happen to anyone.

But what if the nobles are divided and Locke is pushed to the forefront by the army composed of southern nobles and southerners?

That would be a war that brought devastating suffering to the people.

If Northernism existed at this time, Dühring would certainly be happy to see it happen.

But the problem is that Northernism cannot come, so we can only prevent the sky from cracking.

As for whether Du Lin's actions were too insidious...my friend, politics never distinguishes between right and wrong, it just does whatever is beneficial.

No one can be a good person in this big melting pot.

Tanya came back at this time and sat on the sofa: "Grandpa looks very anxious. The southern nobles don't like Prince Sando."

"Because if he comes to power, he will expand the army. The northern nobles' arms business will make a fortune, and you southern nobles will be forced to contribute more to the military budget." At this point, Du Lin sighed, "Everyone has their own difficulties. I understand and appreciate this."

"Hello again. There is the Everburning Nest and the arms business of the Eastern Elf Territory. But then again, if my grandfather really orders weapons from you, would you in the Eastern Elf Territory be willing to supply them?" Tanya asked.

Du Lin smiled: "You asked for your grandfather, right?"

"Yes, we can't just sit there and wait for death, right?" Tanya answered as a matter of course.

"Of course. Whether it's for Elaine's Grandma Rowling or for you, Duke Robbie's business is my business." Although Du Lin didn't like the North to be involved in war at this time, it would be a bastard not to make money. Besides, arming the Southerners is also a way to prevent the war.

"Honey, I know you have me in your heart." After saying that, Tanya smiled and kissed Du Lin on the face: "I will stay here tonight."

"And then something will happen, right?" Du Lin smiled and shook his head: "That won't do. I must remain a virgin for my allies."

"I'm your ally's ally, and I'm here to monitor you." Tanya smiled and rubbed Du Lin's face. "Look how pretty you are, you little evil dragon! Do you know that all the young black dragons are saying this about you now?"

"I just broke the two dragon horns of the guy who wanted to hit me. How am I damaged?" Du Lin was a little unhappy.

"The dragon has lost two horns, and it will take a long time for them to grow back. You and he have a big grudge, and the adults won't take it seriously, but he..." "Does he still have a third dragon horn for me to break off?"

Du Lin was happy.

"It will take at least ten years." When Tan Ya calculated this, the doorbell downstairs rang again.

Du Lin, Tanya, and Kelsey were all peeking out from the second floor. Xia Li ran over and opened the door.

A young man appeared outside the door.

"I'm Jon. Is Mr. Durling home?"

Xia Li looked over.

Sir Jon also looked up and saw Durin and Kelsey. He smiled and said, "I have been assigned by my brother Sandor to ask you to attend the dinner to be held at his palace tomorrow night."

"I am truly flattered that His Highness Jon has come in person. Please tell His Highness Sandor that I will be there."

"Then I'll leave. My brother will be very happy to know that you are coming." After the young man said this, he saluted Du Lin and walked towards the car parked outside.

After the door was closed, Du Lin looked at Tan Ya who was leaning against the wall.

"Your status as the heir to the Duke is far less prestigious than that of an arms dealer," she said with a smile.

Du Lin could only smile bitterly. "Being the heir to a duke doesn't make a living in war, but being a powerful arms dealer can certainly influence the outcome. Especially now that everyone feels we're together, my stance often represents the stance of the Alkin family, the leading southern noble family."

"No, I have to go home and tell grandpa the news. I'll be back soon."

"Then be careful on the road." To be honest, Du Lin was a little worried. Although the nobles had not yet fallen out with each other, what should he do if he really encountered a madman pretending to be a mentally ill gunman?

"Don't worry." Tanya kissed Du Lin and left.

There is no good banquet. Copenhagen, which seems calm on the surface, is actually surging with undercurrents. Everyone wants to be the new crown prince.

Yes, there is no good banquet.

Thinking of this, Du Lin thought for a moment, then looked at the girls downstairs.

If I really want to go tomorrow, it would be better to bring a female companion.

Tanya definitely can't do that. Bringing her over would be too provocative.

Du Lin finally looked at Alyssa who was reading a novel: “Alyssa, dear, are you free tomorrow?”

"Yes." The little deer girl raised her head: "What's wrong?"

"How about you be my female companion at the banquet tomorrow?"

"No problem, dear." The little deer girl suddenly became excited. She left Maria and ran upstairs in two steps. "That's the prince's party. No, I have to wear my best dress."

"Of course. It's cold, so wear more clothes." Du Lin said as he took out his medals.

Since Prince Sando comes from the military, he will definitely invite many people from the army, and these are what the army values ​​most.

Big Orange, I'm going to show off again tomorrow.

·I support you this time. I am really impressed by these princes. They are not capable of fighting to the north, but are capable of fighting among themselves. They are all useless. It is better to let the fifth prince take over. At least capitalism is more advanced than serfdom.

Isn’t it true? Serfs are so shameful.
