Durin's Diary

Chapter 456 It’s all destiny
The merchant representatives of Venice were almost begging Turin. In their words, the port on Turin's side now received at least half of the goods, Venice and Genoa took up 30%, and the southern chamber of commerce used to take the rest.

They are almost running out of food.

"What does it have to do with me, Du Lin, that you can't eat? You were courting death before, and I haven't come to settle accounts with you on behalf of the Changtang merchants. Now you still want me to save you. Are you really going to use your brain?" Du Lin slammed the table and stood up.

"No, no, Lord Durin, we, the Merchants' Guild of Venice, just want to establish a trade association in your port. We will compete fairly."

"That's no problem, but if I find out that you are still using unconventional methods, I will kill you all," said Du Lin.

They may not understand the term "unorthodox practices", but they definitely understand that they have killed everyone.

The merchant representative left with gratitude.

Du Lin was in no hurry to go upstairs. He sat at the bar. The tiger bartender at the bar made Du Lin a glass of fruit wine and said, "Master, do you think it's too noisy up there? The guests from Chang Tang are very enthusiastic, but too enthusiastic. Even their children dare to scratch my beard."

The big cat with droopy eyes smiled innocently when he said this.

"No, I feel like I'm back in Lublin on New Year's Day, when I went to the market, just like the one above. I'm staying downstairs now because..." At this point, Dulin snapped his fingers: "Give my new friend a glass of milk with ice."

The big cat still doesn't understand.

A small Zhulong that looked like a grassland elf appeared on the round chair next to Du Lin.

With inky black rounded corners and ruby-like eyes, the little girl looked at Du Lin with curiosity: "You are Du Lin, and you are different from the stories I heard from my ancestors."

Du Lin took the milk and placed it in front of her: "The person in your mouth and the living person are different. One grows in words, and the other lives in the world."

Du Lin said this in Changtang language.

The girl was surprised that Du Lin could speak such fluent Chang Tang dialect, but she soon laughed and said, "You are right, Mr. Du Lin. A real man should live in heaven and earth."

"What do you mean, Xiaojun?" Du Lin asked while taking a sip of fruit wine.

"The strong ones among the Zhulong are called Jun, the younger ones are called Xiaojun, and the older ones are called Dajun." She replied.

"Is that old man called Laojun?" Du Lin asked.

"Laojun is reserved for highly respected mortal celestial masters." At this point, the girl extended her hand: "You all in the Western Continent like to shake hands, right? I'm Zhao Lan'en."

"Hello, I'm Doolin Elsh." Doolin shook her hand and said, "Your ancestors said that you weren't having a good time in New Hangzhou."

"Yes, because of my hair." The little girl sighed when she said this.

White hair, red eyes, no facial wrinkles, this little dragon girl is not cute at all. There is something wrong with the southern Thai people in this world. Are they fake?

The big orange one roared.

Although I don’t understand your joke, I also think there is something wrong with it. This girl is so cute.

This is what Eleven is puzzled about.

And Du Lin didn't understand: "Here we are, there are white hairs too, how could this happen?"

"In Changtang, white hair has the meaning of misfortune, but they never thought that who wants to be born like this." At this point, she sighed: "I awakened my bloodline at the age of eleven. I thought they would not bully me anymore, but later I found that the girls of my age still called me a goblin and said that I was a witch who seduced men." At this point, the girl sighed unhappily.

And Du Lin sighed: "I can already understand how those children see you."

"I'm just a commodity. It was out of the mercy of our ancestors that they brought me here." She looked at Du Lin and said, "I'm already very happy that you've taken me in. I don't dare to overstep my bounds, nor do I want to make any enemies."

At this time, Anta walked in. She noticed Lan En and walked over with a smile: "Hello."

She spoke in Changtang dialect, which wasn't very standard. But with just these words, Du Lin saw tears welling up in the girl's eyes.

I don’t know why she was so excited, but this should be a good thing in Du Lin’s opinion. It means that she accepted Anta’s kindness.

"This is Anta, my ally who I grew up with, and my wife." After introducing her, Durin looked at Anta again and said, "Take Lan En for a walk around Everforged Fortress."

As Du Lin spoke, he took out his wallet and handed it to Anta: "You can't spend her money."

"As you wish." Anta said with a smile, and motioned the little candle dragon to follow her.

Perhaps it was because of the telepathic communication technique, Lan En happily said goodbye to Du Lin, and then followed Anta out the door.

The little girl has a good character, so Du Lin will let Anta inspect her. If there is no problem, he will prepare to adopt her.

Thinking of this, he went upstairs.

As soon as Mr. Zheng Lincheng saw him, he immediately smiled and nodded.

Du Lin walked over and greeted him again: "Have you told Madam Lin?"

"I can't bring myself to go, but I'm afraid that the lady from the Lin family will beat me out with a stick. So I want to ask you to plead for my son." After the old man said this, Du Lin smiled, turned around and waved to Zheng Zhilin and his cousin Zheng Zhiyu.

As the two arrived, Du Lin smiled and pointed at Madam Lin and the other women sitting on the sofa not far away. "Zhiyu, your father told me about your situation. Since I'm in charge of this matter today, I will definitely see it through to the end. Come with me. I'll put in a good word for you with Madam Lin, and you'll definitely be able to take your wife away when the time comes."

Du Lin spoke in a clear and melodious voice. Zheng Zhilin smiled and patted his cousin on the shoulder: "Hurry up and follow Du Lin, young master. After this, you must follow the Chang Tang etiquette at all. Remember?"

"Let me finish my work first." Du Lin said with a smile.

Then he brought Zheng Zhiyu to Mrs. Lin. Lin Ruyi and her sister Jixiang sat beside her. The elder girl looked at her lover with a face full of shame, while her younger sister frowned. Du Lin did not wait for her to make trouble, but took out a roll of money and threw it into her arms: "You little devil are difficult to deal with. I wonder if this roll of gold pounds can buy you a way out."

The little python spirit sat aside with a giggle.

Du Lin smiled and conjured up a lollipop and stuffed it into the mouth of the little python spirit.

Then he took a step closer and sat in the place where the little python spirit had been sitting. "Mrs. Lin, I have brought Ruyu's husband here. Do you think you can recognize him and bring this wonderful couple together?"

Mrs. Lin said with a stern face: "The Zheng family has been dragging it out for so long, and it's not like no one wants my Ruyu."

"Aren't there strong waves on the sea?" Du Lin continued very naturally, then gave the young man a death stare, and the latter nodded quickly.

"Really?" Mrs. Lin laughed - with so many guests coming and going from all over the country, how could she not know whether there was any storm?

But I really can't resist Du Lin's enlightened mouth.

"Really? You saw me turning into a dragon in the sky. Madam Lin, please let go." Du Lin said with a smile.

"I promise you, young master, these lovers should get married." After saying that, Mrs. Lin let go of her hand.

Lin Ruyi stood up, and the little bird... no, it should be the little snake, stood beside Zheng Zhiyu.

Du Lin was very happy.

Because it is a good thing for us to see young people come together.

　I took a nap at noon and almost missed it. I have to start writing in the morning...
