Durin's Diary

Chapter 458 Faith
"The wedding dress of the Changtang people is so beautiful, all made of silk." Lina, who came over, exclaimed as she looked at the big red robe on the Lin family's sister.

"Why, do you like it?" Anta asked with a smile.

It was afternoon tea time, and the girls were chatting and laughing as they watched the bride-to-be try on her new dress. The only ones who could sit here were girls—curious about the Chang Tang weddings, so they sat here to watch the fun.

Beside her, Lann sat eating candied fruit specially made by the Everburning Nest - one of the specialties of the Great Wasteland.

"Well, it must be worth a lot of money." Lina answered while calculating how much it would cost to get the whole outfit.

Then, as she was calculating, her saliva began to flow down her lips: "I don't have money to buy it, it's really expensive."

"Look how greedy you are." Anta smiled and handed her a piece of jerky. "Come, meet Dulin's new little animal."

Taking the jerky, Lina looked around, a little puzzled: "Where is it?"

Anta reached out and pinched Lann's chin, breaking her potential ability, so Lina saw it.

Lina frowned and thought about it carefully: "Perception interference, and consciousness interference. Before I found her, I didn't even notice her existence, nor did I notice that there was an empty seat next to you."

"There is also the crushing of the lower by the upper." Lan En added.

Lina was furious.

Lina hesitated to speak.

Lina lowered her head and barked at Lann, who was looking directly at her.

Then the little dragon screamed, "What kind of power do you have! I clearly didn't want to do this, but I just couldn't stop it from happening. This is too shameless!"

Lan En turned his head and looked at Anta seriously and said, "This is the power of Zhulong. In the dragon race confrontation, Zhulong commanded the other dragons in this way."

"Hey, but I think Durin has never commanded the dragon species like this." Anta looked at her sisters strangely.

After hearing his sisters' comments, Lan En was silent for a moment, then said in an uncertain tone, "Perhaps Du Lin is indeed too kind."

"Yes, Du Lin is really kind. He never orders me around. He is much kinder than you." Lina frowned unhappily.

But Lan En nodded: "Since Du Lin doesn't order you, then I won't order you either. After all, you are my sister and you have learned your lesson."

"Our Lina has finally met someone she can't beat." Tanya smiled and nudged Anta with her elbow.

"Don't do this again, Lan En. We are a collective and no one can be bullied." Anta said.

Lan En was obviously willing to listen to her words.

At this time, Zheng showed Lin Ruyi a very beautiful gold artifact, and the girls were all amazed.

Because it is a gold medal, hanging on the chest, it is full of exotic charm.

"It's so beautiful." Anta had to admit the customs and characters carved on this gold medal.

"This is a gift only given to the legitimate son and his wife of a large family. It is to be passed down from generation to generation." Lan En introduced, and then she pointed to the small plaques that were linked one after another below the gold medal: "Those small plaques represent how many generations each legitimate son has passed down."

"Is the legitimate son... similar to our eldest son?" Tanya asked curiously. "Probably about the same." Using the language of understanding, the girls began to wonder about the formation of the dozen or so small medallions of varying lengths on the gold medallion.

"There are wars in Chang Tang. To fight against alien species, every boy in the family must go to the battlefield after reaching adulthood. Some legitimate sons die on the battlefield and fail to leave offspring in time. This gold medal will be given to the oldest surviving brother among his brothers." Speaking of this, Lan En sighed: "I had two older brothers, but they both died in battle. My eldest brother's fiancée also died on the battlefield..."

"Is the war between Chang Tang and the alien species so brutal?" The girls heard such a story for the first time and were amazed at the suffering.

"Chang Tang, on the western plateau of Chang Tang, there's a kingdom of alien species. These evil creatures attack Yumen Pass almost every day. In the archipelago east of Chang Tang, those evil puppets with evil intentions often engage in fierce battles with our fleet..." Having said this, Lan En sighed and looked at everyone: "We have bad people within Chang Tang too. The Tianshi Mansion is the busiest place besides the Privy Council. There are endless bad guys to kill every day."

………………

When the girls had finished watching the show, Du Lin heard Chang Tang's story and sighed, "No wonder Mr. Zhao said that every family has its own problems."

"How about we go to Changtang when we have time?" Anta asked with a smile.

"Why did you think of going to Changtang?" Du Lin asked curiously.

"The Tang people of Changtang have the same enemies as us Xilu people. If they fail, those monsters might come to attack us." Anta's words were so stern that Du Lin felt a little embarrassed - he was indeed his ally, and his awareness was really too high.

"Okay, when we have time, let's go and take a look together." Du Lin said and looked at everyone.

Although they had to go far away from their hometown, the girls all felt that if the people of Changtang could go to Xilu, then they could naturally go to Changtang to see the exotic customs.

"When you come back, maybe we can shoot a travelogue of your journey eastward to show the customs and culture of Chang Tang to the audiences in the West."

It seemed that Anta felt that Du Lin was somewhat reluctant, so he actually thought of this statement.

Du Lin had no choice but to smile and nod.

Then he looked at Lan En: "If you go back, will you be happy?"

"I'm happy because I'm going back with you. With a little prince like you by my side, those who bullied me will surely feel very regretful and scared." At this point, the girl was silent for a while. "But you are very kind, so I won't bully them. After all, you said in the book that you mastered the power to save Li Ming and Tian Qing, not to avenge a childhood grudge."

After saying that, she also picked up the 2077 Blade Runner written by Du Lin.

Du Lin did write this on the title page.

"Do you speak the language of the grassland elves?" Du Lin asked.

"It's similar to Leprechaun language, with only a few syllables different. Now I believe that the grassland elves and the leprechauns are indeed the same species." Having said this, Lan En looked at Du Lin: "Du Lin... Do you really think that our world can be saved?"

"Yes, those babies in swaddling clothes, those mothers holding their children, and those people who work for their families. We, Zhulong, are running around for people like these, and are even willing to bathe in blood for them." Du Lin's answer ended here, and he smiled and patted her shoulder.

The question the child just asked reminded him of the girl back then, who had asked him the same question.

However, he was young and ignorant at that time.

I naively thought that there was heaven under this sky.
