Durin's Diary

Chapter 404 Midnight
Before dawn, Du Lin heard a knock on the door.

After getting up from the bed and comforting Melinda, Du Lin went to the door and opened it.

"A guest is coming." It was Mrs. Lin.

So Du Lin put on his bathrobe and followed the old lady downstairs.

On the first floor, seeing the guest kneeling there, Dulin sat on the chair that old Hannibal had brought for him. "Dulin Elsh, I don't know what to call you."

"Urban Troy, greetings to the Master of the Triarch." The old Cretan knelt before Durin with a look of humility. "I heard about your revenge for our little family. There's been a lot of commotion out there."

"Yes, it's all a big deal. Now those who hate me have already labeled me a skinner. I don't deserve it. I've only skinned three skinners myself, not even enough to form a family." Having said this, Du Lin leaned back in his chair. "But, Mr. Urban Troy, what brought you here today?"

"We want to return to the Triarch," the old man said, resting his head on the floor. "The Triarch collapsed, and my ancestor, along with one of its apprentices, was absorbed into the Church of Justice and founded the Assassin's Court. We did good deeds for a long time. Later, you unified the Triarch. Some members of the Assassin's Court returned, some remained, and I chose to leave. But I was truly naive. Leaving the Assassin's Court meant freedom, but we also lost the protection of the Original Creator, and distortion immediately came to us."

The old man pointed to the corner of his eye, showing Du Lin the black scales at the corner of his eye.

"I originally thought you were just a child pushed out by a powerful family as a puppet. We adults can do evil things, as long as we are not controlled by others. But I was so wrong. I heard about your revenge for the children of the Three Saints. You can take my life, but I only hope that my children will not become monsters."

Didn't lie.

Daju and Shiyi gave the same opinion.

Du Lin nodded: "Since you have thought it through, then come back and serve the Three Saints Society together." After that, Du Lin stretched out his hand and showed the emblem to the old man.

The old man knelt before Durin, kissed the family crest on his middle finger, and then pressed the crest on his forehead: "Your kindness and grace will never be forgotten by the Trojan family."

"Since that's what you said, do your best from now on and don't let the Three Saints and me down." After saying that, Du Lin looked at the old man, motioned him to stand up, and asked, "Besides you, who else is there?"

"You have a keen eye. Besides me, there are several other families. They are all members of the Assassin's Court. They took the wrong path and now don't know what to do..." The old man gave Du Lin a good answer.

"Tell them to report to the Everburning Nest within three days, and I will forgive their mistakes." After saying that, Du Lin stood up and said, "Is there anything else? If not, Madam Lin, please arrange accommodation for them."

"Leave it to me."

After seeing this person off, Du Lin greeted Uryula on the second floor.

"Are you really okay, sir?" The old vampire looked at Durin, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"No problem." Du Lin replied, and at the same time took the cigarette handed to him by the old vampire with a smile.

"Several of my kids had nightmares today after seeing blood. They are too young and have not experienced real blood and gore." The old vampire said as he humbly took out his silver lighter to light a cigarette for Durin.

"So you also think that a sixteen-year-old kid like me is just pretending to be calm in front of outsiders, right?" Du Lin took a puff of his cigarette and then stood by the window. "I had a dream when I was a child. In the dream, I was an apprentice in a high tower. There was a sage in the tower who had a dream of helping the weak and suppressing the strong. That dream was too beautiful, we all know it, but precisely because it was so beautiful, everyone would pursue this dream at all costs... Many of my peers' youth lived in each other's blood. We killed and were killed, just because of endless desire and struggle. The sage taught us not to be defeated by terror, nor lose to fear... Uryula, do you know that in the tower, if you hesitate even a little when killing someone, the only one who will die will be you."

"Master, are you diving into your deep consciousness? No, you are not the owner of the relevant channel... Are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry. I just had a long dream. Now, someone is simply bringing what happened in my dream into reality. I've long been accustomed to walking in a sea of ​​blood, so I choose to fight violence with violence, blood for blood, and tooth for tooth." At this point, Du Lin leaned against the window: "I'm fine, everyone, don't worry about me."

"Then I'll take my leave." The old vampire finally chose to leave. After he left, Du Lin felt that he couldn't sleep again.

Turning around and looking at the harbor in the distance, Du Lin sighed, sighing that whether it was this world or that world, people were no longer the same as before, but the crimes and punishments were so similar.

The sinners in this world always naively believe that there is no justice in this world and that justice cannot know the mistakes they have made. So they live an arrogant and domineering life, naively thinking that the law and judgment are just puppets in their hands.

In their previous life, the children in the tower would tell them that what they thought was wrong, and there would always be someone who would remember their mistakes, and sooner or later they would come with retribution.

The child from the tower, carrying the retribution of the tower, will fight to the death and keep attacking one after another.

Du Lin once boldly asked the sage why he didn't take action.

The sage said that only humans can save themselves, and his judgment and retribution will only bring about a strange ending of supporting humans.

Yes, only if you learn to save yourself can you live until the day of redemption.

So many of my classmates spent their youthful years in a pool of blood, both their own and others’, in monuments and photos, and in the heart of this dying leftover, Du Lin.

The two children today are almost the same as Du Lin’s two classmates.

The senior students who went there for revenge slaughtered the entire family of the other party, even the cats and dogs in the yard were not spared, and even exchanged fire with the local autonomous region army that arrived.

You didn't know where you were when the child from the tower died, but you answered the call from the target of the tower.

In the end, the senior students' aircraft was shot down, resulting in four deaths and three injuries.

So all the legends of the tower came out, killed all the related parties, even killed two legends of the related parties, and took the case to the Southern Thailand Parliament.

Sage Yu fought against seven people alone in the parliament, killed three high-level lords, and seriously injured four people, three of whom suffered a severe decline in realm.

why?
It’s simply because every child in the tower lives in the dream of protecting the world. Even though they know that this dream cannot be tolerated in this world, they still never regret it.

Maybe we were crazy a long time ago.

After putting out the cigarette in the ashtray beside the table, Du Lin walked towards the third floor.

So, I sought justice for those two children in the most brutal way possible.

It’s just because this land is more chaotic than southern Thailand, and it believes more firmly that the bigger the fist, the true it is.

Du Lin remembered telling Melinda.

Repay kindness tenfold and revenge a hundred times, this is his life creed, even if it means falling into purgatory.

Because if they don’t have this kind of awareness, in this world where the sky is their blanket and the earth is their bed, the children of the Three Saints Society will not learn to raise their butcher knives, and how can they be worthy of sharing the same bed with the crazy people in this world?
