Durin's Diary

Chapter 305 Regardless of the cost and right and wrong

After returning to Florence, Elaine finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"The Sario family was not saved after all. If my grandmother knew about it, she might be very sad." Elaine answered Du Lin's doubts.

But before Du Lin could think of how to comfort her, the girl shook her head again: "But Grandmother also knows that it was their greed that brought about their destruction. Fate does not favor fools who are too clever for their own good."

Then she looked at Du Lin: "Du Lin, you saved me. I don't know how to thank you."

"Your grandmother didn't give you to me to push you into the abyss." Patting Elaine's head, Du Lin comforted her, "From now on, we won't go to Copenhagen. I've already applied for an indefinite leave of absence from the college. I'm sure Dean Sean will understand."

"I never thought that Your Majesty would be the last Night Watchman of the First Commune."

Speaking of His Majesty, Du Lin could not understand why this Prince of Lies would tell the truth that he had hidden for most of his life even if it meant living a few days less in the last days of his life.

Even if this oath is broken, even the root power will be completely wiped out.

But you can't say Robert is bad. He is the prince of lies. He spent most of his life fulfilling a true lie, just to make the First Commune's long-broken dream last a little longer.

Back at Old Jim's mansion, Du Lin and Elaine said nothing.

Du Lin continued to make gun barrels, and Elaine, Anta and Lina once again devoted themselves to the laboratory.

It wasn't until a week later that Du Lin woke up in the morning and found that his experience had increased wildly again - the two previous movies were no longer played in large quantities, and the experience was not as much as at the beginning.

But this time, the experience exploded and increased by more than one million.

I can’t imagine the impact your Easter egg will have once it’s discovered.

Daju said.

Du Lin also agreed with this. He got up, brushed his teeth, and went downstairs. He saw Ace reading a newspaper and Sora lying on the back of the sofa behind him.

The two secretaries were reading intently, and only raised their heads when Maria, who was writing, spoke.

"Really?" they asked in unison, their words full of disbelief.

Du Lin gave himself a lie detection shot and then spoke: "Really, the original creator has been here. Robert is the invisible one, the prince of lies in the chaos camp sequence zero."

Looking at the large circle at Durin's feet, Ace drew several holy emblems of the original creator on his chest. Sora sighed and said, "I never thought that he spent the rest of his life telling a lie and deceiving everyone. He said that the holy staff was lost by Jean Mayer."

"It was indeed lost, because it was placed at his feet." Du Lin sighed and said, "Is Robert okay?"

"The obituary was published yesterday afternoon. Robert Walter passed away in his study at Sans Souci Palace at the age of... ninety-nine." Sora turned and looked out the door. "We didn't know he was such a man. The traitor we've been trying to kill... turned out to be one of our own."

Du Lin thought for a moment and took out the short staff from his space: "Perhaps, this is the Night Watchman's staff you have been looking for."

The two secretaries were stunned again. Finally, Ace stretched out his hands, took the short staff, and stroked the spots on it.

"I thought we would never have the chance to see it again." Facing this sacred object of the First Commune, he was filled with emotion.

Sora looked at the short staff and said, "Northernism has an oath. Whoever finds this staff will be the first secretary." Then, the two old men looked at Durin.

Du Lin shook his head. "Just let me go. I'm only fourteen. I want to wait for the day when there's no more war on this land. Then I can make more movies. I won't be the first secretary."

"I've never met a man as unattached to power as you." Secretary Ace, looking at the circle at Durin's feet, smiled and then burst into tears. "When my father died, he kept telling me to recover the Night's Watch Staff. He said it was passed down from an ancient civilization and was the supreme symbol of civilization's survival. I never thought I'd live to see it again."

"You've seen it, haven't you?" After saying that, Du Lin placed the short staff next to Secretary Ace and said, "I asked the secretary to give it to Robert, and Robert gave it to me, and now I give it to you."

"Northernism has nothing to offer you, Herr Dühring; it is so precious that nothing on the other side of the scale can equal it."

"I have a call sign called Wandering Soul, but it sounds a bit too sloppy now, so if possible, could you give me a new call sign?" Du Lin asked with a smile.

The two old men exchanged a glance, and finally, Secretary Ace spoke, "From now on, you are the sole bearer of the Northernist callsign 'Secret Keeper.' You will be able to review the minutes of any Northernist meeting at any time. For your own safety, I suggest you keep this callsign secret at all costs. You can use the callsign 'Wandering Soul' as a cover."

"...Okay, thank you." Du Lin said with a smile.

Looking at the sincere circle at Dulin's feet, Secretary Sola sighed awkwardly, "Please don't thank us, no matter what. You've solved the greatest troubles and difficulties for Northernism, and we have nothing to repay you for."

"You should also thank Robert. He spent half his life telling lies to protect that land, and he spent the rest of his life guarding this staff. Speaking of which, who discovered the Easter egg behind the scenes of the movie?"

"It was the nobles. The ending song you chose was very nice. Many of them stayed to listen to it and then witnessed everything. It is said that the scene was very chaotic, but Robert issued an edict saying that he personally watched the entire film and confirmed that all the plot of the film was consistent with other people's lives." Secretary Ace replied.

"Yes, he chose the music, and I also decided to put that plot behind the announcement at the end. Robert said it was okay." At this point, Du Lin sighed and sat down on the steps. "I don't know how to evaluate this man. He is the prince of lies. He wove a huge web of lies, wrapping up the truth and facts."

"Let's not talk about you, kid. We don't know how to describe him. He is indeed a traitor in our eyes, but now it seems that without him to protect the Night's Watch Staff, this staff would have been destroyed by the God of Nobility long ago." Ace sighed as he looked at the short staff in his hand.

Secretary Sola nodded. He walked over to Dulin, smiled, and helped him up. "Good boy, your father Roy would be so proud. Seriously, would you like to learn how to do business from me? I believe that with your intelligence, in a few decades, Northernism will make a fortune thanks to you, and our military strength will expand beyond our imagination."

Du Lin still shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I have a dream of making movies. At least, I don't want to do anything else until I get tired of movies. If you are in good health, you can wait for me. Maybe one day I will get tired of it." At this point, Du Lin smiled.

"Forget it, then. You're a fantasy creature. Comparing your lifespan with yours is truly too cruel for an ordinary person like me." Secretary Sora sighed at this point, "What a pity."

"Life is not perfect, Sora. It is because of film geniuses like Mr. Durin that we can know the secret between Mr. Jean and Robert. I have decided to drop the charge of treason against Robert Walter. We will hold a secretaries' meeting and let everyone decide." Secretary Ace said this and looked at Sora.

The latter nodded vigorously. "That's exactly what I was thinking, Mr. Du Lin. We need your participation in this meeting. You will be present as a witness, okay?"

Faced with the invitation from the two secretaries, Du Lin naturally felt obliged to respond: "No problem, I am willing to testify. Robert is the most complex king I have ever met. His loyalty and his betrayal have shocked us all."

Yes, he was loyal to Northernism until he finally took over the short stick.

He once again betrayed his class, his family and everything he should have, constructing the truth with lies and covering up the truth with hypocrisy.

Just because of the last words of an old friend that night.

Go, walk into that good night, and don't disappoint those who come after you.
