Durin's Diary

Chapter 599 The Horse is Jumping

There aren't so many surprises in life, right?

While looking at himself in the mirror, Du Lin asked Anta to straighten his collar.

The latter, while paying attention to his collar, mentioned the young men who had come a few days ago: "They don't look like they're from the Northern Kingdom, nor from Farol. Judging from their accents, they must be from the south of Sidney. When did you get a partner from there?"

This is a good question, which fully demonstrates that no matter how powerful girls' intelligence network is, there will always be loopholes in the aspect that men like most.

"I'm their investor," Du Lin corrected, tilting his head to let Alyssa wax the dragon's horns.

There is no way, the little deer likes it, especially after hearing the old man say that Zhulong will also change its horns, he said that he must collect the dragon horns that Du Lin changed.

"Investor, what did you invest in?" Anta asked curiously as he rolled up his sleeves for Du Lin.

"Investment revolution." Du Lin said with a smile.

In Du Lin's previous life, those who could understand this sentence would only feel extremely hellish, but in this world, Anta was silent for a moment: "Please don't use Chang Tang language when you have nothing to do. I was stunned for a moment. Why did you invest in this?"

Du Lin recounted everything that happened to the children's parents and their own tragic stories.

"I said Du Lin is a good person. Others would avoid such things." Reid, who was sitting on a chair not far away, said with a smile.

"That's your uncle." Anta said with a smile.

"What's wrong with my uncle? He's not as close to me as Du Lin." The little girl put down the book in her hand, which was rare. "Mr. Du Lin can write a book for me, who else can do that?"

"That's right, look how good I am to you." Du Lin raised his eyebrows happily at himself and the deer in the mirror, then twisted the deer's tail hard because he was so angry that he laughed.

"By the way, you're going to attend the award ceremony today. Lid is in your care. Leave us two coordinates in the safe zone. If anything goes wrong, I'll open the door and kill you."

"Okay, being careful can save you a thousand years." Du Lin uttered another long sentence in Tang dialect.

This is a proverb, it is beneficial and harmless, and everyone can understand it.

………………

"See? This kid, Du Lin, is also a man who uses tricks to trick people. He came here with Princess Reid."

As Dulin walked into the hall with Astrid and shook hands with Duterte, the old elf from the art center muttered to his old friend beside him.

"He's already an adult."

"In the eyes of us elves, he will always be a child."

Refuting his friend's nonsense, the old elf smiled and walked forward to shake hands cordially with Durin: "You still have a lot of places to go next, right?"

"Yes, in April, my mentor was invited to be a judge at the Copenhagen Literary Hall and the once-in-a-decade music gathering, but he declined on the grounds that I was the one being judged."

"Lord Czerny is a great musician, and having an apprentice like you is the best annotation of his life." The old elf said, pointing to the stage. Kumir Big Toe was already smiling at Durin at the edge of the stage.

Du Lin walked over with a smile: "Mr. Kumire, we meet again."

"This time, you are truly the ruler of the world, my Highness." He jumped off the stage with a smile, shook hands with Du Lin and gave him a warm hug. "Oh my God, I still remember the first time I saw you. Back then, you were so tiny, just a child, and a mere lord. Now you're an adult, taller than me, and the renowned Lord Protector of the Realm."

"You can also call me Duke of Lublin." Du Lin said this and smiled as he exchanged fists with the man.

At this time, a brave young director came over and asked Du Lin for an autograph.

Du Lin looked at his white coat, smiled, took the ink, and used a spell to manipulate it to "print" his name on the back of the coat.

The young man was very satisfied and left after expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Du Lin looked at the old elf and said, "I went too far this year."

"How can such an outburst of artistic talent be considered excessive?" The old elf smiled and waved his hand. "It's getting late. Come, I'll take you to your seats. You should be very busy this year. Remember, you also have the task of presenting awards."

"I know." Du Lin nodded with a smile.

As usual, the newcomer award will be presented first so that everyone can recognize the face.

Du Lin saw the young man who asked for his autograph stand up with a look of surprise. When he walked past Du Lin, he knelt on one knee, held up Du Lin's left hand, and kissed his family crest ring.

Du Lin stood up with a smile, drew his sword from space, and tapped it lightly on his shoulders. Everyone present laughed, and the young man never thought that Du Lin was more amusing than him.

"How about you share some of your thoughts, young Knight Olmir?" Kumir said with a smile.

"Uh, well, are you talking about the feeling of winning the Rookie of the Year award or becoming a knight?" The young man named Olmir said with a smile.

Everyone laughed like crazy.

The young man was not so stage-frightened. After saying a few words, he began to list the dishes, from his goddess of art and love to his parents and mentor, and even mentioned Du Lin in the end.

Reid laughed so hard that she was out of breath.

He took the small hexahedron representing the Rookie of the Year Award from Kumire, and then listened to the dwarf mention the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Temir, man, where are you hiding?" The dwarf mentioned Durin's old acquaintance.

Old Osso stood up from his corner.

Du Lin stood up with a smile and took the initiative to hug him - the old bear picked up Du Lin and said: "Good boy." He laughed and kissed Du Lin on the cheek, then put Du Lin down and walked to the front of the stage.

"I understand now. Those who know they are going to receive a lifetime award will sit in the corner, right?" Reid understood a little.

Du Lin looked relieved - this girl was a smart person, she could understand it without even needing to be reminded.

Olmire handed the trophy to Duterte, who briefly recalled his decades-long directing career on the stage and then walked off the stage to applause from the crowd.

Next was the Best Makeup and Design competition. As usual, the members of the French Blue Banner were having a great time this year. Du Lin used his tail to block Astrid's eyes to prevent the girl from screaming, and at the same time he repeatedly reiterated his determination not to bring his sister here.

The Slaanesh culture is truly horrible, they should all be killed.

Next up is Best Cinematography.

Du Lin has not seen any of the films participating in this year's competition, but all four films have one characteristic - that is, the camera movements are imaginative. The winners also said that they learned this camera movement method from Du Lin and were inspired by Du Lin.

Du Lin looked embarrassed - how could I, a 3D researcher, teach you how to move the camera? It was really my fault.

Then there's Best Original Score.

Du Lin raised his eyebrows.

He saw Kumire had already opened the envelope. He glanced at it, then sighed with pity. "I've discovered that as long as our Duke Durin is here, this is the least controversial award. There's a slight controversy regarding the timing of one of the films, but that's okay. The old men convinced him."

After Kumir finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

Four movies appeared one after another on the big screen behind him, all of which were made by Du Lin this year.

When the piano sounded, Du Lin smiled.

Stella's Departure.

Stella's departure.

It is said that when the movie reached this point, the entire cinema was filled with crying.

At the same time, the elderly Ms. Stella appeared on the screen, smiling with her eyes closed. In the dark world, she was like a bright lamp, lighting up all the spirits around her. These white souls came to see them off.

There was warm applause from the entire venue.

Kumir waved to Dulin.

Du Lin walked onto the stage with a smile and hugged him.

Kumir looked at Dulin and handed him the trophy while speaking earnestly, "Your Excellency the Duke, when I took my wife to see your film, her tears ruined my formal attire."

"Next time you come to Savoy Fashion, I'll give you a free meal." Du Lin took the trophy and said with a smile.

Everyone in the audience was laughing like crazy.
