Durin's Diary

Chapter 55 Come and meet me

Du Lin always ignores problems that he cannot find the reason for. After all, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally work out when it reaches the bridge. It is obvious that Du Lin does not need to spend time and effort to figure out the reason for such a small problem.

However, this question soon had an answer.

The very next day, a senior named Carter came to Du Lin and asked him to draw a structural diagram of a long sword for him.

Senior Carter is 1.9 meters tall, with thighs thicker than Durin's waist. He is a typical Northern Highland macho man. Two hundred years ago, he would definitely be the kind of guy who would paint his face and then charge into the battle while carrying a huge sword and roaring.

Du Lin felt that this big guy was sent by the senior students of the academy to test whether his two certificates were fakes, so the structural diagram he drew was made according to the habits of dwarf craftsmen, targeting the user's arm span and the sword style used. It is a very strict skill. The structural diagram includes the sword body, handle, and counterweight, all of which are based on the user's habits and movements.

For this purpose, Durant measured Carter's arm span several times.

At first, the senior just thought that the little guy Du Lin was a gunsmith, and helping him make a sword was a small step in the industry. But considering that he was a master craftsman, he was definitely better than him, a sketching art student who could only draw the human body, so he happily watched Du Lin finish the painting stroke by stroke.

"Can you forge?" Du Lin asked the senior after finishing drawing the picture. After all, Du Lin had learned that Tony Stark himself was a blacksmith, and the northern humans were also good at this, so Du Lin wanted to confirm it.

"No." Carter shook his head, saying that he was only good at drawing girls' bodies and lusting after girls' bodies.

Okay, you really just remember the girl, right?

But considering that this is an art college, Du Lin could only accept it.

Du Lin shook his head and took him and the schematic to find Tony Stark.

Tony Stark's father, Caspian Stark, was also there. He was a very serious dwarf. He took the drawing from his son's hand and recognized at a glance that the drawing used dwarven craftsmanship. The old dwarf frowned, feeling that the craftsmanship had been stolen.

"Who drew this for you?" he asked Carter.

"Mr. Dulin Aiersh from Lublin helped me draw this." Although Carter didn't know why, he had lived so long and was always able to read people's expressions, so he sold Dulin immediately.

Dulin did not care. He put on the nameplate of the master craftsman and said: "I am Dulin, Dulin Aiersh of Lublin."

When he heard that it was a member of the Elsh family from Lublin who drew it for Carter, the old dwarf who had started to roll up his sleeves smiled - he was no longer angry, and started to light the fire according to the structural diagram.

Carter was also curious and bought a pot of good wine. Once a dwarf starts drinking, he can't stop. Then he mentioned Durin's identity. Old Caspian didn't say anything about the Elsh family. He just said that it was a great honor for you to get Mr. Durin to help you. In Lublin, there were not many people who could get such help from him. After all, he was a legendary little gunsmith who could make his own guns at the age of nine, and even had different gun models selected by the military of the elves.

The old man then took out a Durin Type 11—an enlarged version, a 30mm small shotgun. The blueprints had been given to him free of charge by Durin. It was donated by Durin on behalf of the Lublin Gunsmiths Guild in the early spring of last year, when the Eastern Elf Territory and the Dwarf Kingdoms commemorated their millennial alliance.

Also donated are the production processes of Arrow Bullets, Steel Core Slugs and Burning Dragon Breath Bullets.

After using this guy, the dwarves all said that what's a bear? How many heads does the greenskin have? If you have the guts, take a bullet from your grandpa.

In a word, the spear given by Durin is very powerful and useful. The dwarves on various hills all say it is good after using it - of course, the price they pay is that the disobedient goblins near the dwarf hills all say they can no longer live there.

In addition to being very popular, Durin also became well-known among the dwarves and had some fame.

Because of this, when the old dwarf heard that it was Durin who mastered the dwarf's skills, he didn't care - the gunsmiths didn't hide their skills, so why should these old blacksmiths hide their skills? Besides, the child was a perfect match for the skill, so it didn't disgrace the skill, but rather promoted it.

He could tell at a glance that the northern boy's arm span was almost accurate, and it was definitely the most accurate number. The sword in the picture really suited him.

And Durin also showed off his extraordinary ability - the son of Zhulong, the sorcerer, was born with the ability to control fire. Durin added some fire to the stove, and the blue flame made old Lord Caspian exclaim in excitement. After all, the stove in his house had never burned so vigorously.

After Carter came back and spread the word, everyone knew that the junior Durin, who had just enrolled this year, was really capable and helpful. Even the Stark family's chief craftsman, Lord Caspian, was amazed by him.

Moreover, Du Lin also discovered that by helping others make weapons, he could actually gain public experience. A finely crafted long sword actually increased public experience by three thousand!

It is slower than killing, but it is faster, safer, and makes Du Lin feel more at ease!
So, the second business naturally came to him. It was a sword diagram. Although firearms were becoming more commonplace these days, a good sword was still a favorite birthday gift for many young people, especially those attending art schools. Most of them didn't have an heirloom, but their families and they themselves were definitely well-off. So, naturally, they were willing to spend money on a birthday gift that marked their coming of age.

The client was a half-elf, introduced by Rabin.

The client's father is human and his mother is a moon elf, which is the elven subspecies that intermarries most with humans. The Moon Elves' Eternal Day Island and Eternal Night Island are not far away, but they and the High Elves are two completely different creatures.

The High Elves are truly arrogant, and they think they are superior to everyone else, even the several elven subspecies.

Therefore, the Moon Elves and the Grassland Elves have a good relationship. After all, they can often join forces to give their distant relatives a hard time. Happiness is better shared with others than to be enjoyed alone.

When Du Lin heard about the situation of the senior named Moras and knew that he was short of money recently (probably because he spent a lot of money chasing girls), he gave him a discount - after all, steady wins the race, and to be honest, he didn't care about the money for the drawings. It would be better to say that he was giving a small favor to these people who were apparently his peers rather than making money. Doing so would help him quickly make a name for himself in the college, and being enthusiastic about helping these young people would also earn him a lot of goodwill.

Then experience will come rolling in.

Face is given to each other. Many times when you help others, you will definitely receive gratitude and the same kindness.

Of course, if someone wants to step on him, Du Lin has plenty of ways to deal with them.

In short, considering that Senior Moras is tall and thin, and the swordsmanship he uses is not the bold military swordsmanship like Senior Carter, but the family-inherited rapier skills, so Du Lin chose a rapier with a gorgeous guard for him, with a sharp tip and a long enough blade, which can both stab and scratch.

After disassembling the entire weapon structure, Durin specially made a gauntlet model - he was afraid that the dwarf craftsman would turn the gorgeous gauntlet into a piece of iron.

Senior Moras paid the money and came back two days later - the sword was not finished. When the old dwarf blacksmith he found saw the guard, he almost went crazy. In this day and age, apart from the dwarf craftsmen in the Elf Territory, who else had the skill to carve such a sword?

Durin was also embarrassed - he shipped the goods based on the ability of the dwarf craftsmen in Lublin, and forgot the origin of the proverb that the dwarf blacksmiths in the Elf Territory can carve.

So Du Lin took charge of it himself, spent three days to complete the pouring, and then started to polish it, giving the guests and the dwarf master a small grassland elf-style carving shock.

In the end, Senior Moras paid an extra 50% - Du Lin had not asked for more money before, but after the senior took the sword home to show it, his father swung it twice, looked at his son, and finally asked who helped him make it.

Upon hearing the name of Durin Elsh, Moras's father, the Viscount, personally took out his purse and gave extra money to his third son, saying that such a great craftsman must not be humiliated in terms of his worth and status, even if he was his son's junior, and even if he had no intention of asking for extra money.

After knowing Du Lin's identity as a master craftsman, many seniors who originally wanted to ask Du Lin for help decreased - some felt that their matter was trivial and they should not bother a small master craftsman; some knew Du Lin's identity and felt that they really did not have enough funds to cause trouble for each other.

Of course, Du Lin also understood it, but he did not point it out. Instead, he made a small request to the seniors who still wanted to ask him for help - because of academic problems, Du Lin decided to help only once a week. Of course, this was not a reason to increase the salary. Instead, Du Lin lowered his status and took the initiative to reduce his salary. He just hoped that the seniors who wanted help could draw lots to decide who would get Du Lin's free time.

The method is very simple. Everyone writes their name on a piece of paper and Du Lin draws the lottery himself.

After all, I heard that some humans possess extraordinary sequences that can bring them endless good luck, so Du Lin did it himself.

Everyone was happy to hear it - seeing who the goddess of luck smiled at was a pleasant and exciting experience.

Of course, young people would not have thought that Du Lin would be the happiest person who could get 12,000 public experience points a month - he could upgrade to the void in four months, where could he find such a good thing?

So in early April, Durin's Candle Dragon Warlock completed a promotion.
