Durin's Diary

Chapter 63: Swift Wind
Leaving Savoy Fashion, the aging Durin went into his safe house and put his clothes into the closet.

After passing through the roof and using the activated rope to quickly descend to the ground, Du Lin transformed into a grassland elf in the alley and walked towards the embassy.

"By the way, Daju, do you still remember the girl named Karina Dossem?"

· Remember, she is the granddaughter of old Enrique, right? To be honest, she has good talent, but it's a pity that she is already taken. What's the problem?

"Anta said her roommate was her." Du Lin said, walked out of the alley and joined the crowd.

Look, this land is so big, yet so small.

To be honest, Du Lin was prepared for how boring today's so-called business reception and the seminar held in the morning would be. After all, he had experience of attending meetings in the city before.

But after arriving, Durin regretted it - as the only heir of the Duke of Elsh, Durin still underestimated his status and position. The merchants who came to the scene rushed to greet Durin, either inviting him to a small gathering at their own manor, or rushing to introduce their daughters to him.

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose arms were thicker than his waist, Du Lin's heart was still filled with despair. "Don't you giants have any self-awareness? Your daughter is already two meters tall at the age of twelve! Her arms are thicker than my waist! Her legs are taller than me! That shy smile makes her mouth open as if she could eat a grassland elf!"
Not much different from the man-eating alien monsters in Lublin's dark fairy tales.

But as the eldest grandson of Ish and the only heir of Duke Elsh, Durin still had to cheer up and chat with everyone.

Fortunately, in addition to giant merchants, there are more merchants such as elves, humans, gnomes and dwarves.

They gathered today for the biennial trade permit. The Eastern Elf Territory was close to the wasteland - the wasteland was the general name for the ruins of the old world in the east. The land was divided into safe zones (already cleaned up and had colonial cities), gray zones (contested zones), red zones (dangerous zones with no military patrols) and black zones (dangerous zones that almost no one had ever set foot in and returned from) according to the degree of danger. The things in these areas, whether they were materials from alien species or old items in the ruins, were treasures in the eyes of many people, and these merchants were the exclusive dealers responsible for purchasing materials from various countries.

To put it another way, they are all well-known figures in their hometown.

It is also proof of the cooperation between the Eastern Elf Territory and other countries.

It is also a guarantee that those escaped slaves will not be sent back - as long as the escaped slaves from various countries can escape to the Eastern Elf Territory, they have gained their freedom.

These were all told to Durin by Mr. Qin Lun, because the Elf Territory needs population, and the battle with the eastern aliens and orcs requires a large population. The indentured workers who have gained freedom are also natural defenders - for this free land, they will fight to the last moment.

The human countries actually turned a blind eye to this - you can't expect the horse to run without eating grass. If the three eastern territories are broken through by the alien species, they will all be in trouble.

Du Lin also expressed his understanding of this.

At the same time, we also saw the representative of the Alkin family - a woman with gray pupils. The corset helped her maintain her posture well. She was an outstanding representative of the world of still charming.

It is indeed a successful business family.

After the new trade license was stamped, most of the franchisees left, but two stayed.

One of them was a dwarf, Krieg Gold Ingot, a dealer from the Eastern Elf Territory, the Silver Peak Kingdom on the border between the Sidney Union and the Order State. Du Lin knew him. When Silver Peak Mountain was short of food a few years ago, it was his grandfather who squeezed out a lot of food from the warehouse to help them overcome the difficulties.

When he met Durin, he kissed the Elsh family emblem ring on Durin's left little finger - this ring represents the glory of the Elsh family. In Durin's opinion, kissing him is not as good as kissing this ring.

The other was a fellow of Durin's clan, from the Sidney Union, a prairie elf half-blood, Romil van Krigern.

Of course, he was a real mixed-race child, not an exile - his mother was the eldest granddaughter of the old Duke Momoti, who married into the Sidney Union. She married Rodriguez van Cleggen, the fifth son of the current Grand Duke Dort van Cleggen of the Sidney Union (the youngest brother of Emperor Sidney).

His parents had six children, and he was the youngest and only male.

Precisely because he is a mixed-race, this 1.5-meter-tall man not only looks like a grassland elf, but also has brown hair and a goatee - exactly like his father.

Because of this relationship, the Clegane royal family simply let this young man be a exclusive merchant.

Romil did not disappoint. In addition to doing his job well, his identity and his smooth social skills helped both parties resolve many problems.

The ambassador also used a very simple word when introducing him.

own people.

Now that there were no outsiders around, the businessman who had a stern face before laughed and patted Durin on the shoulder: "Good boy from the Elsh family, you did a great job in the city of Sarichi last winter. My relative sitting on the Sword Throne summoned me to the King's Hall that night after the incident and asked me what to do." "What do you say?" Durin naturally took on the role of supporting actor.

"I said to His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty, how could you ask me this question? You are still young and strong, how could you forget the experience when I was young and was almost taken away by human traffickers." At this point, the man laughed together with Ambassador Qin Lun.

Du Lin really didn't know about this, but he was sure that Mr. Romiel must have told the emperor about it - because of this, the Sidney Alliance turned a blind eye to the outrageous death of the Saric family.

You see, although the relationship between humans and other races is not very good, they can still reach a consensus on the issue of human traffickers.

After chatting for a while, Romil and the Ambassador had important matters to discuss, and they left together with Mr. Crete who had been waiting.

Du Lin also said goodbye to the three of them. He decided to leave the embassy and walk the streets for a while, then come back for the dinner. He would be alone on his way home anyway, so he might as well just have a meal at the dinner party.

But then he thought, both Kal'tsit and Helmer were waiting for him to come back, so Durin could only get on the tram miserably.

After jumping off the tram near his block, Du Lin walked along the sidewalk towards his home. He also noticed a freight carriage parked in front of the vacant house across the street. Workers were unloading the goods, and a little rabbit in a maid outfit was giving orders.

It's a Kuni orc, and judging by the color of its fur, it should be a Robian.

The beastmen are so complicated. They are first classified by appearance, and then divided into subspecies based on subtle differences.

Just like elves are divided into high elves, moon elves, woodland elves and grassland elves.

And rabbits like Cooney, which have two long ears, will naturally have differences like gray rabbits (Robian) and dwarf rabbits (Bigmel).

Du Lin walked to the front door of his house and whistled. Kal'tsit, who was happily playing with a little Uccello girl under a big tree in the small park in the middle of the road, ran over.

The girl with black hair but dark red hair on the sides of her head also ran over. The little lady with big purple eyes watched Du Lin open the door, smiled and lifted the hem of her leather skirt: "Hello, sir, I am Elaine Mar Sario, I just moved in across from you today."

"Hello, as you can see, I'm a grassland elf. I just arrived here at the beginning of this year and I'm currently studying at the Art Academy." Du Lin smiled and replied to the little bird. She blinked and said, "I just enrolled at the Art Academy too. What's your major?"

"Film Art Department." Du Lin took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, then walked to the door and leaned against the door frame.

"Then we're classmates." The little bird giggled, her face beaming. She looked at Du Lin shyly, "I was originally planning to go to the Military Academy, but my grandmother said there was no need for a little bird like me to carry on the family tradition. I also heard a wise man say that movies shouldn't be wasted on women's thighs. I completely agree with that."

Du Lin laughed, how come my words have been distorted during the process of being spread?

But it didn't matter. Du Lin still pointed behind her and said, "That little gray rabbit must be your maid. She's coming over."

"Miss, you're quite the natural person." The little gray rabbit had already stood beside Miss Elaine. She looked at Du Lin and, after confirming that he posed no threat, she lifted her skirt like her mistress. "Respected Mr. Great Craftsman of the Grassland Elf, good afternoon. My mistress is not very good-looking. I apologize."

As he got closer, Du Lin saw her clearly. She had thick and long animal ears with white fur inside the earlobes, a small inverted triangular nose, and most importantly - facial hair that was gray on top and white on the bottom.

It was a perfectly standard deformed species—from Dühring's point of view, a throwback.

However, here, such atavism is called aberration.

"Nothing." Du Lin smiled when he thought of this. The little gray rabbit looked young, but she was knowledgeable - she could recognize the craftsman's badge, and even knew what the double oak leaves below the craftsman's badge represented.

But she still looked too young. Such a young hunter had never been to the Eastern Elf Territory and might not even have their own equipment.

"Melinda, you are belittling me again." Miss Elaine was a little unhappy.

"Your eyesight is poor, that's a fact." This little maid with silver hair really has a sharp tongue and is not forgiving.

The little master in front of him was a girl with mixed human and Uccello bird blood. The maid beside her was a standard Robian rabbit girl...and seemed to have a little elf blood as well.

What an interesting master and servant pair.
