Durin's Diary

Chapter 368 Don’t worry, you have no friends in the future

When Rabin left, Dulin personally saw him off to the boat.

Dulin personally admired Rabin because he resolutely walked on the bloody road for his lover and friends without any regrets.

There are many such Rabins in this era. Their beliefs are noble and their convictions are pure. They understand the ease and difficulty of life, but they still embark on this path.

Are they like this just because there is a true God in this world?

Not really. In my opinion, with a true God as a guide, achieving this is only good enough. Truly remarkable are the people in our history who, without God, accomplished things that even with God, they might not have been able to do.

Daju has a different opinion.

But there were people like that in our history, and in my opinion, they were no different from those of today.

Eleven felt that Daju was biased.

But no matter what, Du Lin felt that they were remarkable people, both in this world and that world.

This is also why Du Lin wants to help them, because they are really great, and Du Lin doesn’t care what they will become in the future.

Du Lin cares about these people and just hopes that their sacrifices and efforts will be rewarded.

Bishop Clara Sambal is once again checking on the donations received from the faithful this month.

Then he saw a familiar name.

Durin Elsh, a grant of 10,000 gold shields.

He stood up and took out a list of the most philanthropic believers from a nearby filing cabinet, and finally confirmed that Mr. Du Lin had donated at least thirty thousand gold coins this year.

To this day, the cardinals are still debating whether to confer the title of saint on Turin.

The claims that they were too young or had not been Catholics for long were just excuses made by the aristocratic bishops.

In Clara's opinion, a good boy like Dulin is gifted, talented, and kind-hearted. He arranged many orphans in his manor outside the city. Although some people said that it was to select gifted children to become members of the Trinity, Dulin did not abandon those untalented children. These children learned planting techniques in the manor. Many of them learned for one or two years, and their crops were able to produce high harvests like those of the old farmers.

And those gifted children became members of the Trinity who could protect and help the farmers. Even the original creator did not say that they were wrong. Could these mortals still convict Mr. Du Lin?

Why can't Mr. Du Lin achieve the title of saint? Don't you have any guilty conscience?

Thinking of this, Clara put the file in her hand on the table.

His assistant brought him a newspaper: "Sir, Mr. Du Lin's new film will be premiered in Sidney in half a month."

"It must be the Art Center's operation. If I remember correctly, their old director came here a few days ago, and I saw him walking down the street early in the morning." Clara sighed. "I don't know what movie it is, but everyone says that Mr. Du Lin's movies are always good. So the question is, how can I be the first to see Du Lin's new movie? Maybe taking a leave of absence is a good idea."

But with so much going on in Everforged Fortress, Clara felt that she probably wouldn't be able to take leave.

With regret, he glanced at the newspaper - at least, let him see what Mr. Du Lin's new movie was called.

Then he became confused.

Because the movie is called Blade Runner 2077.

Is it another Assassin's Creed? No, the old elf at the Sidney Center for the Arts also gave a review.

Perhaps the most classic science fiction film of the next hundred years.

What, a science fiction movie?

Clara suddenly felt that she had to take a leave of absence.

What is a science fiction movie? This is so fascinating!
………………

Austen Jane Jacobs, in the newspaper president's office.

The fire didn't bring him any warmth. "You know, Comrade Austin, the entire newspaper office is asking me for leave today. Some of them have friends getting married, some have relatives who are seriously ill, and some are asking me to cash in their annual leave. They all have one goal: to gather in Brussels in two weeks."

The middle-aged fat man sitting behind the desk leaned his elbows on the table, his crossed hands blocking his face, and the lenses reflected the light from Austin's angle.

"But I'm asking you to let me know about Herr Dühring's new work. It's my job, Comrade President."

"Damn it, you're the first guy who can think of such a good excuse to go to the movies. I agree. Remember, you can only go alone. Don't tell me you need to bring two hundred assistants." After the old president said that, he signaled to Austin with his eyes to get out of the office quickly.

When Austin left the office, he didn't think that somewhere else, his colleagues were also fighting wits and courage with their president.

………………

At the same time, in the Mage Academy far away in the Eastern Elf Territory.

Anta was watching the young kids clumsily using the spells, just like his six-year-old self, excited by the flame in his palm.

These are the apprentices recruited by the academy. There are two most common types of apprentices in the Mage Academy of the Grassland Elves. One type is young mages like Anta who join the academy for more systematic training in order to make further progress; the other type is talented children who may come from poor families or have both parents serving in the military. In this case, the Mage Academy will recruit these children as full-time apprentices.

It has always been the creed of the Mage Academy to ensure that every talented child's talent does not go to waste.

Therefore, the former like Anta has the obligation to educate and help these children.

Starting today, it's Anta and Ellie's turn.

Fortunately, their group only needs to serve for half a month, and by then they should be able to make it to the premiere of Du Lin’s new movie.

Anta counted and found that out of the thirty children, twenty-seven were able to officially perform the first magic trick in their lives.

The remaining three seemed too nervous to Anta.

After letting the twenty-seven children who had succeeded go back to rest, Anta separated the remaining three children and let the little ones continue trying.

Fifteen minutes later, two more children left, tired and excited.

On Anta's side, there was only a little girl left, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Anta stopped her and called her to his side.

"What's your name?" Anta asked.

"To answer the Red Robe Master, my name is Gumi Lalafei." The half-blood boy with a pair of round ears like a bear cub answered with red eyes.

"Just call me Sister Anta. Where are your family?" Anta continued to ask.

"Dad and Mom are both in the east. Everyone says they are fighting."

"Do you want to learn magic and become a powerful mage like me, so that you can help Dad and Mom one day?" Anta smiled and stroked the little girl's head. After receiving a positive answer, she nodded with satisfaction: "When I was the same age as you, I had a dream. In this dream, I became that person's irreplaceable ally, his shield, his harbor, and his support... Go, think about helping Dad and Mom, I believe you will succeed."

The girl nodded resolutely and returned to her seat.

Anta looked at the girl, watched her struggle, watched her anger, until a spark bloomed in the palm of her hand.

Then, the spark began to expand.

Antar reached out, took control of the fireball before it lost control, and sent it flying into the sky.

"Sister, what's wrong with me?" Gumi asked with a puzzled look.

"You have excellent talent." Anta looked at the mentor who came over, and comforted the girl in his arms with a smile.

You, you might be a genius who is even better than me, your sister.

　I have to wish myself a happy birthday...even though I celebrate it on the lunar calendar...
