Durin's Diary

Chapter 43 Some People Are Loved by Everyone
After eating, Dulin climbed onto the roof of the car and sat on the edge to watch the busy human gentlemen. The anger of Mrs. Melissa was visible to the naked eye, and when the source of her anger was dragged back, Dulin almost laughed out loud.

The broken motor vehicle mentioned by the human gentlemen is a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost jointly produced by Dulin and the Craftsmen's Guild. Everything was drawn by Dulin, and the Craftsmen's Guild was responsible for the production. The profit points of both parties were 4:6 - Dulin invested in the knowledge, so he got less.

But this is also a lot of money. This antique in Dulin's eyes is really too beautiful and comfortable for the nobles and royal family of this world, so they spend a lot of money on the car, which makes Dulin earn a lot.

But he still didn't expect that the police officers in Sidney would actually buy such a car. Although it should be a reduced-equipment model from the appearance, it still cost a lot of money.

Thinking that the human gentleman in front of him was also his breadwinner, Du Lin got off the roof of the car and came to the car that was lifted up by the jack.

Then he was stopped by the old guy named Royce: "What are you doing here?"

He looked at Du Lin with some suspicion, as if he saw a guy with bad intentions.

This forced Du Lin to take out his Craftsmen's Guild badge.

The badge of the Great Craftsman proved Durin's strength from one side. Although his guns and motorcycles were not as good as his, the Great Craftsman was still able to beat these guys in terms of ability. Therefore, everyone, including Mrs. Melissa, took notice of him.

She came near Du Lin and watched him spread a piece of oilcloth under the car, then got under it and said, "Can you fix it, Mr. Du Lin?"

Compared with the previous insolence, it is really incomparable.

"How do you drive this car?" Du Lin sighed when he saw the damage on the car's drive shaft. In order to prevent these novices from replacing the drive shaft every day, Du Lin deliberately raised the bottom of the car and enlarged the wheels.

But the facts tell Du Lin that sometimes kindness will be taken for granted, just like road killers all over the world never talk to their victims about ethics, and will never forgive any mechanic - I bought the car, so what if I ask you to fix it if it breaks down!
"My subordinates drove the car into a ditch, and it took ten big guys a lot of effort to lift it out of the ditch." Mrs. Melissa's answer made Du Lin want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh - in order to make it easier for them to drive, Du Lin also specially adjusted the steering wheel. In the hands of the grassland elf test driver, this car could even pass through a single-plank bridge with the same wheelbase. If Anta was there, he would definitely laugh: I really don't understand how the high-ranking human gentlemen did it.

She would definitely say that.

Thinking of this, Du Lin crawled out from under the car and spread his hands as he looked at the humans who gathered around him. "The car's drive shaft hit a rock while digging in the ditch. The drive shaft deformed and caused the front wheels to lock."

"So, it can't be fixed here, right?" Mrs. Melissa began to show anger on her face.

"It's not that it can't be repaired, but I don't have the tools. And honestly, even if it can be driven, there's no telling when it might break down. And forcing it to start might damage other parts." Du Lin stood up, picked up his magic wand, and flicked it to clear the dust off himself. "Replacing the axle will solve all the problems. It's a bit expensive, but considering you're a big customer, I can still give you a discount."

So both the host and the guests had a great time. Lady Melissa was very happy when she heard that this discount could exempt her from at least 400 gold notes - you see, a brand new transmission shaft costs 1,000 gold notes, and my 4 gold notes cost the Craftsmen's Guild 6 gold notes. It's just that Du Lin personally doesn't make any money from this order, and I believe that the Engineering College and the Craftsmen's Guild will also like such big customers, so it's normal to give some discounts.

Dulin's speech earned him a lot of goodwill in Sulem Forest Farm, especially when the magic communication channel was established and Madam Melissa confirmed that Dulin was not bragging.

By the evening, the locomotive was finally repaired, the car was placed on the additional platform, and everyone - including the guests and the black men from Sulem Forest Farm - got a seat.

The bad news is that the train's speed has not fully recovered, which will definitely cause delays.

The good news is that at least you won’t be living in the wild for a full half month.

………………

After staying on the train for five days and crossing the border between the Sidney Union and the Northern Kingdom, Durin finally saw the city of Lübeck. Lübeck was said to be an important port and commercial city in the Northern Kingdom. It did not have the city walls that Durin had imagined, nor were there the warships that Durin had guessed. Instead, a large number of merchant ships were loading and unloading goods at the port.

Looking north from the train station high in the south, the city stretched out like terraced fields. It was completely different from the Lübeck he remembered, Du Lin thought, sighing. This was another world after all, and even with the repetition of place names, it was definitely not the world he was familiar with.

Holding Kel'tsit's rope in his left hand and his own suitcase in his right, Durin disembarked from the train and prepared to find the hotel near the train station Old Ish had told him about. From Lübeck, a boat trip north would take just one day to Copenhagen. His trip had been delayed by the train robbery, but Old Ish had probably already informed the academy, so Durin didn't have to worry about being expelled for failing to register on time.

But the ferry could not wait for Dulin. However, considering that many passengers on the previous ferry were delayed due to the train robbery, and the identities of each passenger should not be underestimated, the ferry company postponed the tickets of all passengers and will depart tomorrow.

So Du Lin needed to find a hotel to rest for half a day. Old Ish said that there was a good hotel near the station, and the owner was a prairie elf. As long as Du Lin told his name, he would definitely receive preferential treatment.

It sounded simple, but Du Lin discovered the problem after only five steps - it was not that he could not find the hotel, but that there were too many hotels and he could not find the one that old Ish mentioned. By the way, which hotel was mentioned in the telegram?

Du Lin opened the copy and took a look... A hotel?
It's a word game, right?

While complaining about the hotel owner's bad taste, Du Lin walked to the door of a hotel.

The human doorman looked at Durin, then at the reins in Durin's hand and Kal'tsit on the other side. He had seen many combinations of gentlemen or ladies leading a dog, but this was probably the first time he had seen the strange combination of a grassland elf leading a lynx with an owl wrapped around the animated branch behind them.

"My child doesn't bite." Du Lin said and pointed to the gate.

The human doorman nodded and opened the door for Dulin. "Welcome to an inn, young sir."

"Thank you." Du Lin said as he took a silver coin with his wizard's hand and threw it to the doorman as a tip.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Du Lin felt that the hotel looked tall enough with seven floors from the outside, but it looked even more magnificent inside. It was obvious that the painting was painted by a master of oil painting, which made Du Lin confused. In the middle, a woman who might be a big shot had a compassionate face, and her snow-white body was clearly visible.

The receptionist, who was taller than Durin, was a high-hoofed beastman security guard wearing a black tuxedo. His arms were thicker than Durin's waist.

Durin's entry was nothing to them, as they had seen many guests, but the big cat in Durin's hand was quite strange. A high-hoofed security guard came over and looked at Kal'tsit. Kal'tsit yawned - the druid masters had enlightened Kal'tsit, and the little guy had a telepathic connection with Durin, and knew that the big bull in front of him would not attack.

After confirming that Kal'tsit was not aggressive, the Highhoof security guard lowered his head slightly and said, "Young sir, if you wish to check in, please go to the front desk."

Du Lin nodded, took Kel'tsit to the front desk, and took two steps up the left stairs: "I want to check in."

The Pansao leopard girl with a big tail saw Dulin. She turned her head and said to the door curtain behind her: "Madam, it's your fellow tribesman."

Then Du Lin saw one of his kind lifting the door curtain. This was a red-haired grassland elf woman who looked a little older. She was 1.47 meters tall, with red hair and non-standard height. She had mixed-race features, but her ears were standard square ears, not very mixed.

"Hello, ma'am, I'm Doolin Alsh."

"I know. Your grandfather called me." The lady said, her eyes full of nostalgia. "Welcome to Lübeck, child. You can call me Mrs. Irene. You really look like old Ish."

Du Lin was stunned, narrowed his eyes, then saluted with a smile.

Grandpa, you have a mistress outside. Does Madam Wilda know about this?
