Durin's Diary

Chapter 399 Territory Expansion
Lin Ruyi couldn't say anything in the end. After all, the Mo family affairs were beyond the control of a girl from a small family.

However, she still provided Du Lin with a lot of information about Chang Tang Dongtu. When she heard that Du Lin had territory in the Adriatic Sea, had slaughtered pirates, and had established a new commercial port, she seemed very happy: "Being able to serve you is also a pride for our Lin family."

"Don't be so formal."

In Changtang, grassland elves are called dwarf goblins or house goblins - because the big families in Changtang like such small goblins who are small in stature but quick in work and can command large servants with ease.

The people of Changtang would even tacitly allow a domesticated fairy to become a member of the Sheji Hall, as long as he or she was truly capable of serving the public.

Therefore, many times, it is not surprising that a young family member of a well-behaved domestic fairy clan marries into a Changtang family.

Just like the Mo family and the Mo family, even though the Mo family was an old noble family, when their young son married the girl of the Mo family, they also took good care of their daughter. It was a pity that the girl was born with a defect and did not awaken the Candle Dragon bloodline until she reached adulthood.

Under normal circumstances, the Zhulong bloodline will appear when the child is six years old.

"My Candle Dragon bloodline only manifested when I was twelve years old," Du Lin sighed. "My sister also had the opportunity, but she chose not to and became a silver dragon."

"That's such a pity. If your sister could also become a Zhulong, Miss Mo's branch might really be able to expand in the Western Continent." Lin Ruyi sighed while eating fried rice.

"Ah, what do you mean?" Du Lin was a little surprised.

"The genes of the Zhulong maternal line are more stable, and it is easier for them to give birth to Zhulong offspring. Everyone says that domesticated fairy hybrids can carry the most mixed-blood characteristics, and now it seems to be true."

From Lin Ruyi's words, Du Lin understood the characteristics of the Zhulong - the probability of a female Zhulong giving birth to a Zhulong son when marrying an outsider is much higher than that of a male Zhulong marrying an outsider, so unless the other family is very important and needs to be brought in as external aid, the Zhulong family will not marry their daughters off.

Of course, if it is a marriage between the Zhulong family, there are not too many restrictions.

As for the combination of the Candle Dragon and the Silver Dragon...from what we can see so far, it seems that there is only one example of this, namely Old Yi Xu and Miss Mo from the Dulin family.

As for why - there is no silver dragon in Changtang and no candle dragon in Xilu. Before Old Yixu and Miss Mo fell in love with each other, there was no record of contact between the two sides.

Du Lin still had one question he hadn't asked - why his grandmother seemed to be disliked by both families since she was a child.

But in Du Lin's opinion, if he asked Lin Ruyi this question, she would probably not be able to give a clear answer.

So, forget it.

Thinking of this, Du Lin looked at the girl in front of him: "Compared to Chang Tang, what do you think of Xilu?"

The young lady stopped her voracious eating and said, "As of now, it's about right. However, the Western Continent is still lacking in industry. We can make a lot of money from our light industrial products, but the biggest problem is..."

"Speak, I don't blame you." Du Lin thought this girl was interesting, and she was hesitant to speak.

"There are too many kings in the Western Continent. I can't recognize them all." Lin Ruyi replied somewhat embarrassedly.

Du Lin smiled and said, "Yes, there are too many. There are many of them, and they have many children. But how many people are there in the Sheji Hall you mentioned?"

"Thirty-one state representatives, seven king representatives, and four autonomous state representatives, for a total of forty-two. Add in the five great sages, for a total of forty-seven. I heard that there's a kingdom called Sidney here with a king who has quite a large family."

That's right. Du Lin thought about it and felt that not to mention himself, even Reed might not be able to count how many relatives she had with the surname Cleggen.

After the girl finished showing off her fried rice, Du Lin saw that she should be fine, so he simply asked Xia Li to buy her a set of clothes, and then took her to the Eternal Fortress.

Lin Ruyi was also happy when she heard that she could meet her father soon.

So when Durin opened the portal and took her into the first-floor hall of the Everburning Nest, the girl suddenly screamed.

"Sister!" She ran happily to the corner.

Du Lin looked closely and saw a young woman sitting in the corner. She was dressed like a Tang Dynasty woman, with black hair and eyes swollen like light bulbs from crying. Like her sister, she was also a python spirit.

When she heard her sister's voice, she looked up happily, then tilted her head: "Who are you?"

·It’s bad, it’s face blindness.

Daju laughed out loud.

Du Lin took the tea from Mrs. Lin, who looked curious and said, "Master Du Lin, why is the eldest daughter of the Lin family here with you?"

"Could he be your husband's relative?" Du Lin asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Mrs. Lin said, then smiled and shook her head. She looked at the two girls who were arguing with each other. "Last night, when her father came over with his little daughter, he looked very pale. This morning, he took the fleet out to look for her, and he still hasn't returned."

"We saw her washed ashore in Catania. We were lucky. If the current had gone south, she would have been fed to the fish."

"Now that you mention it, we are indeed lucky. If we had gone a little further south, we would have been dead." After Mrs. Lin said this, she apologized to Du Lin and went up to comfort the two sisters who were crying.

Du Lin took two sips of tea, glanced at the time on his pocket watch, and was about to leave when he saw several brave guys surrounding him.

"Young Master Du Lin." Their expressions and words were extremely flattering.

"Say, don't laugh so disgustingly, I'm getting goosebumps." Du Lin said this with a smile, and suddenly understood: "I know, you guys can chase them, I have nothing to do with them."

Du Lin waved his hand, then reached out again to stop the three guys: "But let me be frank, these are Madam Lin's juniors. If any of you treat them unfairly, I will use the knife in my hand to disregard the smiles you are showing me now."

"Uh, no." The three boys said embarrassedly.

"Ah? What's that?" Du Lin was curious.

"The new movie you made is so good, we want you to sign our diary." When the three children said this, their true intentions were revealed.

Du Lin was delighted, took the pen, and started writing in the diaries of the three of them.

After finishing writing, Du Lin patted the three children on the shoulders and said, "Train yourselves well. You are still young, but don't forget that responsibility will come to you when you grow up. Don't let your future down."

Only after the three children left did Daju sigh.

I now admit that you do look like a teacher.

I just repeated what the old sage said to me back then.

Du Lin was inspired as he looked at the sunshine outside the window.

To this day, he still remembers the words that the sage said to them, who were once young.

You are still young, but don't forget that responsibility will find you when you grow up one day. Don't let your own future down... and don't let the blood of yourself and your friends be shed in vain.

Tooth for tooth, blood for blood, this is the oath that flows in the bones and blood of the people of southern Thailand.

Although my appearance has changed, I still have Tainan’s bones and blood flowing through my body, but I still remember this.

　Let me get through the most miserable summer, I will update more in the second half of the year
