Durin's Diary

Chapter 268 Dark Forest
Du Lin slept until morning, and when he woke up, there was no one around him. He got up, put on his casual clothes, and before he went downstairs, he heard Lina's laughter downstairs, and then the girls' fighting.

When Durin stuck his head out from the second floor, he saw the girls preparing breakfast. The silly girl Astrid was still sitting by the fire, telling Maria stories from the story collection in her hand.

"Master Du Lin, I need to buy groceries today. Can Miss Lina accompany me? She is very strong and can carry a lot of things." Xia Li asked for support over there.

Du Lin nodded and looked at the little female dragon: "Lina, you are strong, you follow."

"So what if I'm strong?" The little female dragon who was rubbing her hands against Astrid's feet was a little unhappy.

"Bring the food back today and I'll make you popcorn chicken." Du Lin watched the little female dragon throw out the bait called delicious.

The dissatisfaction in the little dragon's eyes disappeared in an instant. She raised her left hand and said, "No problem! I have more strength than I can use up. I will definitely help Sister Xia Li carry all the things back."

"Xia Li, did you hear that? Bring your sister Lina with you. She will help you solve all your problems." Du Lin said to his little maid.

"Okay, you are worthy of being the young master." The kitten answered happily while holding the spatula.

Du Lin sat back at his desk and started to finish his manuscript - from today on, he had to treat every day as a deadline.

………………

As the days passed, Du Lin completed his work step by step. From time to time, he also invited Professor Czerny, Mrs. Cos, and even Dean Shawnee to observe the progress of his work - otherwise, Du Lin would definitely not be able to pass the college's review with such continuous leave.

During this period, I also went to Florence to collect inspiration.

Mr. Romeo Auditore also came twice and praised the new content each time.

Du Lin thought that this was the pinnacle of Ubisoft's work after all, and the plot had been condensed by Du Lin. It would be a bit outrageous if it was not good.

On the first day of December, a guest suddenly came to Du Lin's door.

Xia Li opened the door as usual, then stumbled up to the second floor: "Master! A beautifully dressed female guest came and wanted to see you."

"What's wrong."

"The old man with white hair and a hooked nose is accompanying him," she said.

Good guy, Hooked Nose was the nickname Du Lin gave to Fisher, so that Xia Li would be more smart when he saw him and not be fooled.

If he can accompany us, it means that he is at least at the state level.

Du Lin hurried downstairs and saw a lady who was dressed gorgeously and accompanied by many people. She did not look very old.

Du Lin hurried to greet him and narrowed his eyes for the first time in a long time.

Gala Doran.

She gave birth to three sons for Hake Van Clighen. Now you understand who she is, don't you?

Good guy.

A few days ago, that silly girl Astrid mentioned the Clegane family, and today she came directly to the door. What is her purpose in coming here?

With such doubts, Du Lin made a request.

"I'm Gala, you can call me Mrs. Clegane. I'm Astrid's aunt. Sorry to bother you today." After saying that, the lady walked in with a young man and Fisher.

The others naturally dispersed and surrounded the small building.

Hemer sounded the alarm on the third floor, and she confirmed that the guys who surrounded the small building were very strong.

It is indeed very strong, one legend and at least three half-step legends. Did they hear some rumors?

Dulin snapped his fingers, and Hemer flew down, landing uneasily on the bird stand. The white-faced owl looked at Mrs. Clegane warily.

Mrs. Clegane smiled as she sat down in front of the fire and looked at Astrid who had closed her book. "My little Reed, your uncle wants to take you to Paris for a while. Would you like to go?"

Astrid shook her head.

Kal'tsit came out from behind Astrid, rested her head on Astrid's legs and snored, while swatting Lady Gala in front of her with one eye.

"Mr. Durin, what do you say?" The queen looked at Durin.

"I respect Astrid's choice." Durin smiled and stretched out his finger, and the white-faced owl landed on his finger.

"Little Lid, why don't you go to your uncle's house? It's warm there and you don't need a fire. You can bask in the sun every day. Your aunt has prepared many story books for you." Mrs. Clegane asked with a smile.

Astrid was a little moved and she looked at Durin.

Durin handed the white-faced owl to Astrid and said, "If you want to go, it's okay. Take it with you. You have to protect yourself. Understand?"

"Okay." Astrid nodded happily after taking the white-faced owl.

"Mr. Dulin, are you still not confident in the credit of the Cleghan family? Or are you worried about something else?" the lady asked with a smile.

Durin shook his head: "Of course I believe in the credibility of the ruler and the mother of a country, but your subordinates also have subordinates, and his subordinates also have subordinates. What should I do if the subordinates hurt Astrid?" Having said that, Durin opened his mouth, stretched out his hand, and took out one of his canine teeth.

Everyone saw that the gap in Durin's teeth was quickly filled with new teeth.

Du Lin looked at the tooth in his hand. The gold and black threads were entangled to form a seal on the tooth.

There are four seasons in the sky. You are quite artistic.

The question is blood awakening.

Du Lin smiled and drilled a hole in the tooth, then reached out and a silver ingot next to him automatically split into two halves. One half fell back into the pile of ingots, and the other half softened and changed in front of everyone's eyes, and finally entangled into a chain.

Durin strung the teeth together, then came behind Astrid and put them on her personally.

"If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, activate it, and all dragon species will obey your orders and fight according to your will." After saying that, Durin smiled and stretched out his hand, and the other half of the silver ingot fell into his hand. Everyone watched it turn into liquid and then condense into a bracelet.

Inscriptions bloomed on it one by one, and finally, Durin put it on Astrid's right wrist.

"Every day, you will receive an automatic instantaneous healing spell for fatal injuries. It comes with the necklace. Once it detects that you have received serious damage, the necklace will automatically activate."

After saying that, Du Lin opened his arms, and a silver ingot appeared in front of each girl. They split and changed, and finally chains and bracelets of the same style appeared in front of them.

"The necklace bears my spiritual imprint. If anyone wants to travel far away, I will give it to them because I am afraid I cannot protect them well if they are far away." After saying that, Durin sat down next to Astrid, and Kal'tsit turned around and rested her head on her master's lap.

While stroking the head of his lynx cub, Du Lin looked at Mrs. Clegane in front of him and said, "Madam, it is better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. Isn't that right?"

The young man who had been following Lady Clegane was unhappy. He took a step forward and said, "How dare you, a seventh-ringed sorcerer, speak to the legendary swordmaster, Queen Sidney, in this way?"

"You're overstepping your bounds! Stand down! Sir Kirk, he's the grandson of the Duke of Elsh and the second son of Mr. Roy Corleone. No matter his status, you can't casually accuse him!" Mrs. Clegane said, then looked at Durin with a smile. "Don't be shy, young sir. I've seen your methods. You're a legendary craftsman that the Circle would defend to the death. The Clegane family will protect Astrid."

Du Lin nodded expressionlessly: "I believe in the oath of a legend."

"Let's go, then," Mrs. Clegane said, taking Astrid's hand.

Du Lin also stood up. At this moment, he smiled again: "I'll see Astrid off."

At this moment, Astrid suddenly seemed to understand something. She looked at Durin and then at her aunt.

Du Lin reached out and patted the little girl on the head.
