Durin's Diary

Chapter 263 Endless
It's a new week again. As soon as Du Lin arrived in the classroom, he started helping the class monitor collect homework. Even now, some people are still busy making homework on the spot.

Lewis had finished, and when he saw Du Lin come in, he immediately followed Du Lin: “I heard that you beat Ina Rofflin at the market yesterday.”

"Copenhagen is really too small. How can we know everything before the day even comes?" Du Lin replied with a smile, which was also an admission from one side.

"Last night, half of the noble district could hear her screams as her teeth grew back. It's said that she only grew back five teeth after a night of work. She didn't even come to class today." At this point, Lewis nudged Du Lin again: "By the way, Astrid is a bit weird. That old man in the Alessandro family is really mean. He specializes in deceiving outsiders like you."

"Astrid is actually quite nice, she just has the ability to read minds," Du Lin explained.

"Having the ability to read minds isn't scary, isn't it? She knows everything you're thinking. You have no secrets in front of her. How terrifying." Lewis said this and looked at Du Lin again. "But then again, you don't have to worry about anything. She may be able to charm many people, but she definitely can't handle you."

Du Lin smiled, handed the homework he had finally collected to the class representative, and returned to his seat. "Can you tell me about Astrid's reputation in your circle?"

"There are many. Aina and her sisters like to call her a freak or a monster. We call her a witch, and some more gentle people call her a mind reader. Everyone says that she is not a superhuman, but she has the same abilities as superhumans. We were quite afraid of her when we were little. After all, she can control people at will. When Aina jumped from the second floor, there was a pool below. She was fine, but many of us on the second floor were scared and cried."

No wonder the girl got stressed when she saw Astrid. You really can't blame her. The fear of not wanting to jump off the building but having to watch yourself jump off the balcony is really stressful for anyone who thinks about it.

But Du Lin also understood that all this was because psychics did not receive a systematic education and were discriminated against since childhood, which could easily lead to extremes.

Fortunately, Astrid didn't. Her grandfather took good care of her. Even though she was sometimes excessive, the old man never changed his mind.

And the original creator also intervened. Because of this, Astrid remained sincere, although sometimes she could speak harshly.

But for little girls, a few arguments and a fight are nothing.

The important thing is not to resort to violence, because in Du Lin's view, if violence is resorted to, it will only result in life or death.

Thinking of this, Du Lin stood up with everyone else. Mrs. Cos walked in and looked at the homework on her desk. She smiled and nodded, "I'll grade you tonight, but I'm going to make it clear up front: if anyone's homework scares my child to tears, I'll give them a failing grade."

Everyone is laughing.

"By the way, Mr. Dulin, the navy likes your crew song very much and they asked for your authorization." Mrs. Cos looked at Dulin and said.

"It's free, a small token of my appreciation. I'm really flattered that the navy sailors like this experimental song I made." Du Lin smiled and shook his head, then walked forward and signed his name on the letter of intent in his wife's hand.

"How about that?"

"It's okay, it's just a song. I'd like to give it to all the sailors on this land. I just hope everyone can find their way home."

Du Lin said all the nice things.

So Mrs. Cos smiled and praised Du Lin's behavior, and invited Du Lin to bring people to attend the family dinner she was holding this weekend if he was free.

It is private in nature, and only true friends are eligible to participate.

Du Lin had to pick up Mrs. Cos's face.

………………

At noon, Lewis lined up with Du Lin. The boy was very satisfied with his work and even showed Du Lin a few of his shots. You know what, the lighting and shadows of the Storm Lord's Temple under the sun were really well done.

"I'm sure I could get a seven or even higher."

"We'll know tomorrow." Du Lin said as he stroked Kal'tsit who was running over. The latter was followed by a bear cub today... Wait a minute, why does this bear look so familiar?

Just as Du Lin was thinking this, he saw Astrid running towards him. When she got closer, she saw Du Lin and immediately smiled happily: "Mr. Du Lin."

"It looks like Kal'tsit brought you to see me. Come, follow me." Du Lin said, wondering, "Are you out alone today?"

“Well, Sister Alyssa is right, I have to learn to face the wind and rain alone.” The girl said, and saw Lewis: “It’s Lewis, long time no see.”

“Ah…ah…ah, yes, long time no see, Miss Astrid.” Lewis was stunned for a moment, then looked at Du Lin: “Brother, is this Astrid? She has never been so lively! Can it be fake!”

"It's true," Astrid said with a smile.

Du Lin also smiled. He reached out and held the girl's hand: "Come."

Soon, the team lined up and entered the cafeteria. The half-dragon cook looked at the pair of Durin and Astrid, smiled, and added another bowl of salad to the tray: "Welcome to your most loyal cafeteria, Mr. Durin."

"Thank you," Du Lin said, grabbing the tray with both hands.

This time, Astrid caught Durin's tail.

Lewis ordered the food and quickly sat in front of Du Lin: “You two are so cute, it’s a bit foul.”

"It's human nature to like cute things," Du Lin said, looking at Rabin as he approached. "Rabin, come and sit down."

The young man sat down next to Lewis.

"Why are you alone? Where is your girlfriend?" This time Rabin even came over. Du Lin felt that he would be unfriendly if he didn't ask.

"Some time ago, during a parade, they encountered black men. They were knocked down by the crowd while fleeing... She couldn't stand up." Having said that, Rabin lowered his head and ate in silence.

Lewis was joking with Du Lin just now, but he immediately shut up when he heard it.

Astrid looked at Durin and finally chose to remain silent.

And Du Lin finally patted Rabin on the shoulder and said, "Brother, from now on, sit at my table and let's eat together."

"Yeah." The half-elf nodded and frowned. Finally, tears called silence dripped into his bowl, his plate, and the back of his hand.

Du Lin sighed deeply.

This damn world.
