Durin's Diary

Chapter 339 Little Trick

Most of the Circle of Truth is here.

The elders were stunned when they saw the automatic factory start up and gun barrels pouring out of the assembly line like corn cobs in the field.

It was too fast. Compared to other craftsmen, although Du Lin's speed of making five gun barrels at a time was already very fast, it was still laughable compared to the automated factory.

There is no comparison at all.

Old Philo was the first to come over and shake hands with Dulin.

"I can't believe it. They all say you've changed in the human world, becoming very materialistic. Many elders are wavering, unsure whether releasing you is right or wrong. But today, you revealed this secret to the Circle, making our wavering seem particularly ridiculous."

He then opened his arms and embraced Durin. "Before I grow old, I will propose that you succeed me. It would be a loss to the entire Eastern Elf Territory if a selfless child like you could not enter the Circle."

Du Lin smiled.

The matter of An'erto and Old Ish's tacit approval made Durin realize that he still had enemies in the Eastern Elf Territory.

And these enemies have united, and they want to do their best to separate him and Anta.

It definitely can't be Roning. This loser doesn't have that much power. There must be someone else.

Interesting, Du Lin, fighting with others is really fun.

"Philo, you're still young. Why can't you give me a chance?" Another elder came over. It was Old Lizzie. She extended her hand and shook Durin's hand cordially. "Last time it was your medicine, this time it's your factory. Good boy from the Elsh family, are you interested in taking the Thorn Ring from me and contributing a little to this land?"

"I still say the same thing. I am born free. My education prevents me from betraying the land I stand on, but my nature makes me yearn for freedom. But as I said last time in front of you and the elders, if one day this land needs me, I will do my duty."

"Okay, but I still envy old Ish. His heir is so outstanding..." At this point, the old woman looked at Anta and said, "Girl from the Aye family, come here."

Anta walked over carefully.

The old woman slipped a ring off her finger. "I heard about your grandfather's joke. Fortunately, Du Lin still has some kindness, and fortunately, you are willing to follow him. Grandma Liz, I didn't bring any good gifts. This ring is yours from now on."

"Your husband gave it to you, Lizzie," said Old Ish.

"Yes, that stinky man left this world and left me alone..." At this point, she stuffed the ring into Anta's hand and said, "Remember, you must be strong. Only with strength can you protect the people you want to protect. Du Lin is strong, but one person can always be limited. Having another strong person in the family means having an extra pair of strong hands in the external battle. Remember what I said, grow up quickly. As long as I am here, I will fight for you. But I am old, so you have to grow up quickly."

"I remember, mother-in-law." How could Anta not understand such straightforward words? She nodded seriously.

"From now on, just call me Old Liz, just like Du Lin." After saying that, Old Liz smiled and stepped back.

Next came old Enrique. The elder smiled and hugged Dulin. "The elders all know about the matter of An'erto from the Aye family. He's such a clueless old man. If it were me, I would have chopped him off with my first blow. You're so merciful, kid."

After saying this, the old man looked at his companion and said, "Tell me, how much is this gift worth? Du Lin is a kind-hearted child. We in Yuanhuan cannot be the bad guys, and we must not let the good boy suffer any more."

Old Enrique is one of them, his grandfather is acting stupid, Anlto from the Ayer family is pretending to be crazy, and old Liz chose to stand on Dulin's side. They actually all know Dulin's strength.

Among the eleven members of the Circle, they are Durin's most natural allies.

But some people just don't understand.

"From now on, Lublin Province will be the territory of the Elsh family. Unless the Elsh family commits treason, their Elder Ring cannot be taken away." Having said this, the Great Elder smiled and looked at Durin. "Of course, if Durin is willing to find another automated factory for the Ring, my family's territories in Chelm and Kovel Provinces east of Lublin can also be handed over to him."

"So, Mr. Great Elder, what about your territory?" Du Lin asked.

The Great Elder also chose to side with Durin. With a five-to-six ratio, not all six would oppose Durin—especially now that Durin had handed over the automated factory to the Circle, these elites would surely understand. "Silly child, with this good stuff, we can produce more equipment and then acquire more land from the aliens. Then, more families will receive fiefs for their contributions to the Elven Territory. My family can go east, to where we are most needed, and open up new territory there." The Great Elder finished speaking, looking at Old Ish beside him. "Ish, my Lord Duke of Lublin, what do you think of my proposal?"

"Having more land is a good thing for the Elsh family, but you also know that there are not many people in the Elsh family. My grandson..." "When we return to the circle, I will personally apply to the Church of the Twin Mothers. Durin will be pardoned individually and can marry multiple wives. If anyone doesn't like it, let him come to me. As long as there is a male in my family, Durin will not have to go to the duel arena. What do you think?" The elder replied with a smile.

"That's good." Old Yixu nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the great elder.

This is what it means to be cunning and treacherous.

This means that the Great Elder has completely chosen Du Lin.

There is no Luo River here, but there is a real God. No one will go back on their word if they make an oath on the spot, unless they want their entire family to be wiped out.

Politics is a dirty thing.

Big Orange complains.

It's quite tender, and I suppose you could call it a shared endeavor.

After Durin finished speaking, he looked at Ceris Eleven, who glanced at Durin and then spoke to him independently.

It’s a good thing to be able to cooperate, especially with the grassland elves. I know their twin mother goddesses. They were Director Sun’s former followers. It’s a pity, really. Director Sun is actually a very good person.

It's a pity that good people don't live long.

Yes, good people don't live long, but no matter what, it seems that some of her spirit and ideas have been passed down. I have also been collecting intelligence over the years. In this land where people are not like humans, the grassland elves have done well enough.

You see, compared to the doctor-patient conflict that can never be reconciled, the conversation between Du Lin and Ceris 11 is much simpler.

As for why the automatic factory was handed over to the Ring - Du Lin himself was too busy to handle it, and he did not have a strong enough team. Instead of cooperating with other lunatics, it would be better to cooperate with these old men in the Ring.

At least they were all smart people and wouldn't seek their own death like An'erto did. Du Lin was really afraid of this old guy - how could he dare to do this? He really didn't think about how his family would escape if Du Lin was driven crazy.

But he probably hasn't even thought about it.

This old guy is really playing with his life.

Thinking of this, Du Lin shook hands cordially with an old elder again.

"My name is Mearns Griffith."

Du Lin nodded.

"Roning has done a lot of wrong things. Your grandfather came to see me yesterday and expressed his concerns. I think he is right. If Roning is really going crazy, could you please act quickly and not let him feel any pain, okay?" After saying that, the elder waited for Du Lin's answer.

Du Lin nodded. "Okay, I'll definitely give it my all. I admit his persistence is a virtue, but I won't forgive what he did. Please believe me."

"Of course I trust you, kid. You even gave Yuanhuan such a good thing without hesitation. Yuanhuan will never believe those rumors again." After saying this, the old man once again stated his position: "From today on, you can just call me Old Mearns."

"Old Mearns." Du Lin nodded again.

"That's right." After saying this, he finally smiled. "Do your job well. Yuanhuan believes in your loyalty to this land and will no longer doubt your reliability."

Du Lin bowed his head.
