Durin's Diary

Chapter 318 Duel
Time went on to November, and Du Lin had completed the animated version of Seven Hills Love. For this purpose, he specially found Duterte. The old bear had lived a heartless life with good food and drink for half a year, and now his weight had soared a lot.

He read the beginning and was dumbfounded: "How did you do that? How did you make the painting move?"

Du Lin had to talk about his "discovery". It was said that Du Lin discovered this artistic form of expression from several similar storyboards under the influence of wind. Duterte slapped his thigh.

"That's amazing, Dulin, my God." After saying that, Duterte continued.

When the two prairie elves in Dulin's painting repeated his lines, the old bear laughed happily: "I admit that I authorized you, good boy, your change is very interesting."

But at the end, the old bear still shed tears.

"Du Lin, I'm telling you, we've already made the animation, and you've already adapted it. Can't we change the ending? Can we make it less tragic? Everyone's life is hard, so why should we make them cry again in the cinema?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Du Lin had already thought of the answer, but he also wanted to hear Duterte's opinion.

"When the train started moving, you asked him to hold out his hand to her, and then he dragged her out of the window." Duterte thought about it again and again, and finally came up with this ending for Du Lin.

"...Have you ever considered how strong the grassland elves are?" Du Lin laughed.

"What should we do then?" he asked.

Du Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Let the Goddess of Art and Beauty match the two of us. I'll think about how to write it. Leave it to me. I can have something new in a week at most."

"Why a week?"

"I have to contact the art college first, find the goddess, and ask her if she is willing to show up."

Dulin's answer was impeccable, and Duterte agreed: "That's right, but can the goddess of art really control this matter?"

"The male protagonist can trust her, and I think it's okay to have another priesthood of love between art and beauty." At this point, Du Lin asked Duterte: "What do you think?"

"I have no problem. As long as you can handle everything with the goddess, I will listen to you." Duterte was also happy to see it happen.

Du Lin found the local art academy in Genoa. Nowadays, the number of students in the academy has decreased a lot, but it is not so bad that it cannot continue to operate. After hearing about Du Lin's idea, the dean contacted the short goddess, and the latter appeared in the office with a smile.

Du Lin expressed his idea, and the goddess immediately became interested. She followed Du Lin to the screening room. Du Lin didn't care. He asked the dean and several tutors who followed him to sign a confidentiality agreement, and then started playing the animated version of Seven Hills Holiday.

"It's filmed very well. Do you want to change the plot?" She asked curiously after watching it.

"Yes, tragedy does leave a lasting impression, but in this era, I believe everyone prefers comedy. All living things suffer, so let's not hurt them again and again." Du Lin's response made the now-young goddess nod. "Okay, I'll do you a favor. Although everyone calls me the goddess of art and beauty, I also have the ministry of love. Although it's a small one, I can still do my part."

Du Lin was very satisfied with this sentence. After discussing the approximate plot revisions with the goddess, Du Lin said goodbye to everyone.

Duter, who was waiting for Dulin at his cottage in Genoa, heard about the revised plot that Dulin mentioned and said that he must ask him to come and see the fun after Dulin finished it.

"I want to see how far the animation you mentioned can take the plot."

Duterte has a strong receptiveness to new things - or rather, most artists are like this.

While revising the plot, Du Lin helped his brother Poole. Because of his outstanding "talent" in work-for-relief, Poole recently replaced old Jim who resigned and became the acting head of the military factory.

Du Lin was very confused as to why his brother, who was not very old, was moved there like a brick.

Secretary Sora gave an answer that was not an answer - the loyalty of the Corleone family was visible to the naked eye.

Several secretaries felt that Poole needed more training. Was this a plan to train Poole as a successor?
Du Lin felt this way in his heart, but he couldn't say it, so when Poole left, he took his team with him, and Du Lin was the only one left to assist the newcomers on the work-for-relief side.

Speaking of this newcomer, he is young, in his twenties, and is a snow leopard.

Yes, it is the kind of leopard with black spots on a white background, the Panthera species.

He and Poole were of the same age, but he asked Dulin about everything, so it was obvious that Poole had taught him.

The same thing happened today. When Du Lin arrived at the management department, the young man was covered in mud and smelled terrible. He was taking a shower with his bare butt.

It's obvious that they just cleaned the sewer.

To be honest, when those in charge are at the forefront, the power of example is truly immense.

Nowadays, no one is lazy at all. Everyone is eager to do things. Moreover, the food provided by Northernism is not discounted at all. It is a good thing that everyone is happy.

"Mr. Dulin, you are here." The Pansao cub grinned when he saw Dulin, wiped his body with a big towel and put on his clothes.

"Yeah, it looks like you're making good progress. I don't seem to have much to teach you."

"We're all so happy that you agreed to show your film for free," the snow leopard cub said happily, pointing to the large screen being set up in the distance. "Everyone will be able to watch it again in the evening."

"Everyone has worked hard, so it's only right that we watch a few movies for some entertainment." Du Lin said as he sat down at his seat. "Lawan, I heard you came from the Great Forest, right?"

"Yeah, speaking of which, movies have just become popular in the Great Woodlands recently. The movies you made are much better than others. After seeing the rumors, I wanted to come to Farol to see if I could help."

"Thank you for your hard work." Du Lin nodded.

"It's not a hard day for me, it's just my daily routine. The Great Woodland is in trouble, but I just joined the Northern Movement, so I can't go and help them." The young orc named Lavan sighed as he dried his large tail with a hair dryer. "I heard your two allies are in the Great Woodland right now."

"Yes, I believe they can protect themselves." Du Lin said this and looked at Lavan: "What exactly is this alien tide you mentioned?"

"Every few decades, a terrifying wave of alien species would strike the eastern provinces of the Great Woodland. We don't know why, but it's as if they were migrating, and each time they inflicted heavy casualties on the eastern provinces. However, with the help of the Eastern Elf Territory, and with new muskets and cannons, our casualties have been greatly reduced." The young man's face was filled with joy as he spoke. "I believe that when the next wave of alien species arrives, we'll have more and better weapons."

"There will definitely be one." Du Lin said with a smile.

"That's great." Lavan said this and looked outside the camp with Dulin.

There stood a young man of deer-like appearance. The old man beside him was talking to the old Northernist soldier who was maintaining law and order, but soon the old soldier blew the whistle - because the young man was trying to break in by force!
Lavan stood up and said, "I'll go check. It's not someone from our camp."

"Go ahead." Du Lin said, and began to think about how much repairs would be needed after the plot differences.

But before I took out the paper and pen and started writing, Lawan came running back.

"He's from the Great Woodlands, and he wants to challenge you to a duel."

"what?"

Du Lin was completely confused.
