Durin's Diary

Chapter 29 Chapter 25.5: Antaniah Iyer I
at the same time.

Anta stood in the square. On the other side of the square, there were crowds of people her age dancing, while she could only sit on a bench.

Because Du Lin was not there, and because she thought the other boys were too childish.

Today is the Harvest Festival Dance Day, a festival that is said to have existed since the Dark Ages. In that era, a pair of girls among the grassland elves had just ignited the sacred fire. When establishing their priesthood, they chose the field of harvest, which seemed to have no power at the time.

But in the Dark Ages, having enough food to eat was considered a good life, and too many people lived a precarious life. When more and more farmers began to believe in the Twin Mother Goddesses who had the ministry of harvest, they, who had greater divine power, also tried their best to maintain the harvest for their believers, so the harvest festival gradually became a very sacred ritual.

As time progresses, the Harvest Festival has become a favorite festival for both farmers and landlords, because the Mother Goddess always tries her best to ensure that every believer's land has a good harvest, and they will also make contributions to the church according to their abilities during the Harvest Festival.

If Du Lin were here, he would definitely say that the relationship between the two was like that between a fertilizer plant and its users.

He had never felt any reverence for the gods.

Looking at the kitten at his feet - it was actually a brown lynx, it looked at Anta curiously.

Anta calmed the little beast with a spell and then picked it up.

If Du Lin were here, she could hold it and ask Du Lin if the cat was cute.

Then Durin would definitely say - good man, what do you mean by kissing the Lynx lynx from the Orc race? Is this a cat? Can cats have such short tails? You should apologize to the most serious cats like Xia Li and the others as soon as possible!
Anta felt a little aggrieved because the girl realized for the first time how useless she was.

Du Lin was only a fourth-ring warlock, so he followed the gentlemen to do their business, while she, a sixth-ring mage, could only stay here, waiting anxiously, not knowing when good news would come... but it must be good news.

Thinking of this, the little lynx's mother came over, looked at Anta, then turned around and went back to the food bowl to eat the meat.

This is the harvest festival now. Lynx, which are wild animals, are almost adopted as pets by the grassland elves. They hunt rabbits that affect the fields, various large rodents, and sometimes even hunt wolves.

For the prairie elves, they have a very pleasant symbiotic relationship with the lynx. The prairie elves know that the lynx can deal with animals that affect the fields and human safety, and the lynx also knows that as long as they do not attack the prairie elves, they can always get meat in the prairie elves' town if they are really hungry.

Anta played with the cub in her arms. After a while, she felt bored and was about to return it to its mother, but she found that the mother had walked away.

"What's going on?" Anta asked the human who was feeding the female beast.

"You have been chosen by it to be the guardian of the cubs." The human gentleman who was feeding the cubs was a large local landowner. He liked to feed lynxes and was a gentleman who knew hundreds of lynx mothers and maintained healthy relationships with them.

After he said that, Anta felt a little at a loss - she had never fed any small animals. On the contrary, her only contact with animals was when she was chased by the old dog of the Griffith family when she was three years old.

Thinking of this, Anta held the cub in her arms, took out her small wallet with the hand of a wizard, and put a gold note representing five gold coins into the fundraising box of this human gentleman - this is a paper currency unique to the grassland elves. Currently, only denominations of five gold coins and twenty gold coins are issued. The portrait is a portrait of the loving Twin Mother Goddesses, and the Twin Mother Goddesses provide an anti-counterfeiting seal.

Although the gentleman said that so much money was not needed, Anta still paid it after all.

Then, Anta picked up the little guy and went home.

Walking on the street with the little one in her arms, Anta would occasionally greet the boys and girls she knew. They would be surprised at Anta's singleness, and they would be surprised at where Dulin had gone.

Anta felt that she could not tell them about Du Lin's serious work no matter what, so she could only stammer.

After finally returning home, Anta found his grandfather waiting for him at the door.

That’s right, all eleven grandchildren of the Ayer family are out tonight. Judging from the situation, Anta should be the first one to come back.

He should also be the only one who came back on his own instead of being sent back. When Grandpa Anerto saw Anta, he immediately smiled and nodded: "You came back very early. Grandpa knew about Du Lin's matter. You can't blame him. For today's incident, the Aye family owes him a favor."

This sentence finally made Anta's face look a little aggrieved: "I feel so useless, Grandpa."

"Don't think so. You can become stronger and help Du Lin. Besides..." Grandpa turned his head and sneezed halfway through his words.

Anta's eyes widened - why did Grandpa suddenly sneeze?

Then she noticed her grandfather pointing at the little beast in her arms.

"Grandpa is allergic to hair."

………………

Half an hour later, Anta arrived at Dulin's small manor.

He took out the key and opened the side door.

Faced with the choice of abandoning the cub or staying at Durin's house for a night, Anta chose the latter.

She originally thought her mother would be very angry, but this time she agreed with Anta's choice.

"I am angry that you disobeyed me in order to protect a cub, but I am also relieved that you have finally grown up, my daughter." The mother said this, and then personally sent Anta to the small manor.

After learning that Du Lin had given the manor's housekeeper and cook a holiday, Anta noticed some confusion on her mother's face that she couldn't understand.

But she still watched Anta walk into the manor.

Anta watched his mother leave, then locked the side door and opened the manor door. Anta changed into slippers and lit the lamp.

He walked into the kitchen, opened the arcane refrigerator with ease, and took out a large box of meat.

At this time, Hemer landed on the windowsill. She looked at Anta and grunted.

"Hemer, don't bully the kitten." Anta said as she put the meat box on the counter. She took out chopsticks from the storage compartment on the side of the box: "Do you want to eat meat?"

Hemer shook his head, flapped his wings and flew into the night.

Hemer must have gone out to find food on his own.

Anta thought so, then took out a piece of meat from the box and handed it to the little lynx.

The little lynx took a bite of the meat and swallowed it.

The little lynx was placed in front of the meat box, and the little guy began to eat it voraciously.

"What should I call you?" Anta stroked the little lynx and thought of Dulin again.

I am a typical person with naming difficulties, so I'd better let Du Lin name this little guy.
