Durin's Diary

Chapter 311 Follow
Tanya sat on a chair, holding her sword.

Looking at Prince Locke's grandfather training on the training ground, Robbie Alkin, a legend, was born in the same era as His Majesty Robert, but his grandfather showed no signs of aging. The reason was that he had an elf mother.

This also influenced Tanya - among all weapons, she loved short swords and light greatswords the most.

Needless to say, the dagger is a greatsword, and as for the light sword, it is a slender blade that is extremely difficult to make and use, and only tall elves can use it.

Therefore, the material requirements are very strict.

Tanya's previous light sword broke in actual combat, so she was looking for a new weapon. Unfortunately, the craftsmen who could make such weapons either had their work scheduled until next year or were unwilling to make one for the half-blood.

Just as she was thinking this, Tanya suddenly saw an eagle owl flapping its wings and landing in front of her.

"Hemer?" Tanya called out tentatively.

The eagle owl cooed and jumped onto Tanya's arm.

Tanya took out the rolled-up note from the mailbox on the girl's leg.

Your cake is great. I believe I will be able to eat an even better cake on my next birthday.

Seeing this, Tan Ya smiled happily - she was worthy of being Du Lin. Indeed, on Du Lin's birthday, Tan Ya was still working on the scientific problem of how to make the cake melt in the mouth without soaking in water.

At that time, sending a cake to her beloved Du Lin was like murdering a loved one, an act that Tanya could not tolerate and despised.

Under the dual pressure of not being able to buy cakes with money and having to make them myself, it was not until a few days ago that I made the second cake that I could eat and did not harm my stomach.

When she thought of the past, Tanya felt tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Then she noticed there was another paragraph.

Your birthday is coming soon. I have a gift, a little gadget. I’ll ask the messenger to bring it back to you. I hope you’ll like it.

Ah, when did Mr. Du Lin know my birthday?

With such doubts, Tanya noticed that her old butler was walking towards her with a weapon in hand.

"Miss, the messenger who just came over said there is a gift for you. I have received it for you. Please see it."

"...Okay, thank you." Tanya stood up and took the sword.

It was a simple, slender sword, gray in color, with a delicately embossed hilt and a sharpened blade. As usual, Tanya took a bundle of linen threads from her old housekeeper and placed them against the blade. The moment the blade touched the threads, they snapped.

What kind of magic weapon did my Du Lin make for me? Is this just a gadget?
At this time, Tanya's grandfather came over. He also noticed the light sword in Tanya's hand. After asking the reason, he took the sword and said, "This sword..."

"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Tan Ya asked curiously.

"Mr. Du Lin sent it to me. He said it was a small toy." "Here, give it to me." Robbie took the light sword and returned to the training ground. He looked at Locke and said, "Your Highness, please step aside first."

Locke quickly stepped down from the stage, and then he and Tanya saw at the same time that the old legend held up a light sword in his right hand. Following his breathing, Tanya quickly discovered the problem - the power of the elements was gathering!
The next second, the legendary arcane knight floated into the air, and flaming spears gathered behind him one after another. As the light sword in his hand pointed, more than twenty flaming spears smashed the target in the distance of the training ground beyond recognition.

Then Robbie pointed his finger, and one ice spear after another condensed at his fingertips, and finally all hit a log pillar in the distance.

This is training equipment, and it is now full of holes caused by ice spears.

"My God, Duke Robbie is so powerful." Prince Locke was surprised.

"My grandfather was very handsome when he was young. He was the arcane knight Robbie and was famous throughout the Western Continent." Tanya said proudly.

Robbie had already landed on the ground. He waved his hand a few times, then shook his wrist. The light sword drew an elemental pattern in the air, and then he pointed the tip of the sword at the fire disk in the distance.

I saw a line of fire bursting out from the tip of the sword, directly igniting the firewood in the brazier!

Duke Robbie sighed. "The Arcane Knight's Light Greatsword! No, it should be called a Demonic Sword! Oh my God, is this the birthday gift that the master craftsman Durin made for my granddaughter?"

He looked at his old butler, who smiled and nodded. "Yes, sir, this is the gift that Master Du Lin asked the messenger to deliver. The messenger was a little terrified."

"Indeed, this sword is so valuable! If he dares to 'lose' it, I will hunt him down personally." Duke Robbie looked at Tanya with a doting expression. "I truly feel sorry for myself. Our era is undergoing profound changes. Firearms have replaced ordinary cold weapons. If I had been born three hundred years earlier, if Durin had been born three hundred years earlier, then with this weapon, I would have become the most invincible arcane knight in this land. Those geniuses from three hundred years ago would have been no match for me!"

At this point, Robbie returned the sword to his granddaughter. "In the past, this sword would have been enough for me to exchange for you and half of the Alkin family's assets. I'd even consider it a good exchange, because I could use this sword to make Alkin the ruler of that era!"

"But now it's just my little birthday gift." At this point, Tanya smiled and tears fell again: "Grandpa."

"Well, what's the matter? Tell me." Robbie said with a calm smile.

"I also want to be an arcane knight like you. Will I still have a chance?"

"Yes, you have a long life ahead of you. As a half-elf, you have plenty of time. The question now is whether you have enough perseverance, patience, and courage. The training is very hard, but can you accept it?"

"Yes!" Tanya replied seriously.

"Then stand up, my dear granddaughter. From today on, you will practice swordplay with me in the morning, practice firearms with Locke at noon, and study for your mage level in the evening. From today on, forget about your cake. Helping Durin is your greatest contribution to him." With that, Robbie stretched out his hand, and a light sword floated into the air.

"Remember your choice today. I trained with your great-grandfather for five years, and you, you can make Du Lin wait for you for several more five years. So stand up, Tanya! Don't let time go to waste, and don't let your beliefs go to waste!"

Tanya stood up, handed the sword in her hand to the butler, and then took the training sword that her grandfather handed to her through the air.

"I... am willing to seek this fruit and fight for this leaf." After saying this, Tanya held the light sword in one hand and performed a knight's salute.

"That's right!" Her grandfather returned the greeting with a big laugh.
