Durin's Diary

Chapter 527 Everything Has a Cause

"You are not an immortal, but your brother's friend's bloodline has awakened, why hasn't he?" The child's eyes were full of confusion.

He was still young and didn't know that there was a good proverb in this world.

Everything is destined, no one can help.

"Fate didn't pay attention to your brother at that moment." That was all Du Lin could say.

The child thought for a moment and said, "Is fate really that bad?"

Yara couldn't bear it and wanted to stop the child from overstepping his bounds, but Du Lin just shook his head: "Fate only wants to give your brother a more severe test."

He seemed to understand, said goodbye to Du Lin and left.

"Won't you help that child?" Yara asked softly after he walked away.

She was obviously confused because Du Lin had always been helping the children, but this time, he didn't lend a hand.

"This child's older brother came before, but failed. If I help this child activate her bloodline now, it will cause problems for his family. The eldest son failed to activate his bloodline, but the younger brother succeeded. If his family wants to progress, it must make a choice."

"Didn't you say that it's natural selection?" Yara was still confused.

"Yes, it's natural selection, but he and his brother are just children. Changing his brother's fate won't directly change the fate of others. But if I change this child's fate, his brother's fate will also change. I'm not one to pay attention to seniority. I always believe that those with ability should naturally shoulder greater responsibilities."

Du Lin sighed when he said this. He looked at the child. He was asking a similar question to someone else, and the latter seemed to be stumped by the question as well.

"Yara, look, they are just children. They are not at fault. So, I don't want to hurt anyone for the sake of one of them."

If one of these two children was the child of a human trafficker, Du Lin would not need to think or hesitate at all.

It is precisely because they are all innocent children that Du Lin feels a little caught in a dilemma.

The child looked into the distance, and following his gaze, Du Lin saw another child.

They were both deer and had tall hooves, but the child, who was several years older than him, was staring at his younger brother - Du Lin recognized the child and had accepted his gift, but he did not activate his bloodline.

Du Lin thought about it, then stretched out his hand and waved to the older child.

He did not see it, but the servant who was keeping an eye on the situation did, and he immediately went to the child.

After being reminded, he looked over and immediately walked quickly to Du Lin.

"Your brother just came to tell me that you cried very sadly when you got home, is that right?" Du Lin asked with a smile.

The older boy blushed but nodded.

"He was very worried about you, but he couldn't even express his feelings. He didn't know the harshness of fate, nor did he understand why your friends succeeded while you failed. I was moved by your brother's sincerity towards you, so... I decided to give you another chance, child."

Du Lin stood up, reached out his hand, and gently stroked his forehead again.

"Go back, take your brother with you, and wait for fate to give you the answer." Du Lin withdrew his hand and sat back.

This scene did not attract much attention. As the older brother, he walked towards his younger brother and took his hand. The moment he turned around, his pair of antlers fell off.

At this moment, it was as if the tree had new branches, the moon was waxing and waning, and a larger pair of antlers grew out rapidly.

"Brother, your horns are so beautiful now." The younger brother's words attracted curious onlookers. As the older brother, he was surprised at first, and then quickly bowed slightly in the direction of Du Lin.

Then, he was picked up by his ecstatic father. The velvet had fallen off, and the magnificent horns were now in place. This was the rebirth of the deer species, a sign of the awakening of the bloodline.

The bigger and more beautiful the horn, the stronger the bloodline.

Yala looked at Du Lin, puzzled. "Lord Du Lin, you clearly have the ability...ah, I'm overstepping my bounds. You mentioned fate, surely because fate can't be easily changed. If it happens once, perhaps the God of Fate will show some mercy, but if it happens every time, then the God will definitely not let you off easily, right?"

Du Lin, who was worried about how to explain, nodded in agreement with the silly tiger girl's thoughts.

"You are so kind." Yara exclaimed with a smile.

It’s hard to describe Du Lin in a few words.

I warn you again and again, Mr. Du Lin, bullying the mentally retarded will lead to jail time.

It's rare for Eleven to take on the responsibility of complaining.

Have you ever seen a retard who can use a hook punch to knock a 200-pound wild boar into the air and then turn 1,800 times in the air and kick the pig for fun with a whip kick? I really haven't seen it, I'm telling you two little bastards.

Yara is such an awesome girl. Although she still can't beat Du Lin in many ways, Du Lin has never seen such a capable girl.

………………

Although Durin's second blessing spread quickly, so did the sutra in which the great scholar Yara defended Durin.

The story of how Durin stole fate and rebuilt a future for the failed child had spread beyond the Great Forest before dawn the next day.

Even Anta knew about it, and the girl asked Hemer to bring the news to Dulin - telling Dulin to take it easy, lest the God of Fate would be unable to bear it and come after him.

Everyone thought about it and decided that the next day, none of the children who had come before had the nerve to come again.

This made Du Lin somewhat relieved - this was the good thing about a world with true gods, that whenever gods were involved, everyone's eyes would suddenly become clear.

The weather was nice today, with sunshine. Du Lin sat under the awning that had transformed into a sunshade, helping the children try to kick the finishing touch.

In the afternoon, shouts and cries of killing were heard again outside the city gate.

The green-skinned orcs began to attack the city again. For safety reasons, Durin closed his stall - of course, the rest of you can leave your identity marks and come to queue up first tomorrow.

"Lord Durin, what if there are more people tomorrow?" Yara asked.

"Then continue with it. Don't be afraid. The God of Destiny won't think I'm overstepping my bounds. Isn't it good to help the children create a better future?" After saying that, Durin brought Yara and Lan En to the southern city wall.

The greenskin orcs had taken advantage of the rain to replenish their forces over the past two days, but as soon as it started to rain, this muddy land would be impossible to escape. They took advantage of the dry weather after a long period of sunshine to launch their attack today. Dulin had originally planned to bring some water elementals from the seashore to slaughter the greenskins, but both the Great Woods and the reinforcements from Farol and Lublin suggested that the children engage in more battles, crushing the greenskins with their superior weapons. These soldiers would then return to spread the news of the greenskins' crushing defeat they witnessed today.

Du Lin thought about it and agreed.

He simply summoned his own artillery crews over - because they were fighting the green-skinned orcs, the Great Forest was even willing to reimburse half of the cost of the artillery shells, and the Church of the Original Creator was willing to cover the other half.

There was such a good thing. Du Lin brought over five bases of artillery shells at once.

A rich man booked a theater to watch the fireworks, and the arms dealer Du Lin had to help him get what he wanted.

Now the green orcs have finally arrived.

Therefore, the big guys on the city walls and in the defense lines below the city walls were all looking forward to the first round of attack from Durin's artillery team.
