Durin's Diary

Chapter 652 Follow

After losing several assassins, the greenskins never organized another night attack, and the night passed.

When Du Lin woke up in the morning, the little female dragon Lina seemed to be hanging on his neck like a koala.

"Get up." Du Lin patted the little female dragon's tail.

"No, I want more." The girl muttered and was amazed... It seemed that there was everything in the dream, and the girl was eating very happily.

Du Lin sighed and whispered in her ear: "There will be barbecue in the morning. Anta grilled it himself."

The whisper seemed to have magic, and the little female dragon Lina woke up all of a sudden. She looked around and found that this was not Lublin, nor was it the Everburning Nest, and there was no barbecue or Anta.

So the little female dragon screamed and pounced on Durin, then hit her face against the force field wall.

"I clearly told you to have some snacks last night, and you managed to make delicious food in my dream this early in the morning. I really can't stand it." Du Lin put on his clothes and shook his head at the little female dragon in front of him who was whimpering and covering her nose. "It's time to get up and eat, my silly girl."

"No, I want to eat barbecue. I ate ten pieces of black bread last night and my stomach is feeling sour." Lina, who was starting to put on her wizard robe, pouted when she heard this and looked very unhappy.

However, she also remembered that Du Lin was soft-hearted and would not respond to tough tactics. Since she couldn't beat Du Lin, she pulled Du Lin's sleeve and begged him.

"Be obedient. Besides, didn't I eat black bread yesterday? You've been working hard these past few days." Du Lin looked at the little female dragon in front of him, comforting him while putting on his boots. "After this battle is over, I will take you to Chang Tang to play, eat delicious food, and visit places you have never seen before. How about it?"

"This is good."

The little dragon sighed heartfeltly, but soon a look of worry appeared on her face. "But Mr. Durin, do you think the war will ever end? After we defeat the green orcs, do we still have to fight the Sidney?"

After asking, the little female dragon looked at Du Lin with confusion in her eyes.

Du Lin nodded without any hesitation.

"Will fighting the Sidney people be more ruthless and cruel than the war I'm seeing now? Will more lives be lost, and more helpless than those assassins on the wall?" Lina came to the window and looked out.

Du Lin understood that the blood on the section of the city wall facing the window had not been washed away and had frozen after a night.

"Yes, in the wars of the new era, the number of casualties per minute far exceeds that of the wars of the old era. Even if we defeat the Sidney, in the long future, there will surely be even more brutal wars between nations. We cannot achieve eternity and then treat human civilization as a cradle." Du Lin said this, walked to Lina's side, and looked out through the glass window at the icy world outside. "The development of civilization and technology will create even more terrifying killing machines. A hundred years ago, a musket could only fire two rounds a minute, and reloading required a cleaning rod to clean the barrel. But now, copper shells, fully burned gunpowder, and ten millimeter armor-piercing bullets are a bullet that even a weak Legend cannot withstand."

In the past, the Sword Master could easily split lead bullets, but now the weak extraordinary being cannot even resist the No. 4 caliber arrows.

"Yes, nowadays, automatic rifles can load hundreds of bullets in a minute..." Lina said this and looked at Du Lin: "Let's not go to Chang Tang, Du Lin, do you think we can fight a war to end all wars?"

"Impossible, my silly girl." Du Lin smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand. Lina placed her hand in Du Lin's: "Why, you are so powerful, can't you put an end to all these disputes?"

"Generation after generation of people are born, grow up, and die. They are not pawns in our hands, but living beings. We cannot control their thoughts." Du Lin paused, then continued, "The Jungu carry generations of hatred with them, and this hatred has nowhere to be vented. I must help them. To help them, I must eliminate all the nobles in the land of Sidney, including the royal family. Do you know how many people will die because of this decision?"

"Why don't they surrender?" Lina wondered.

"Because desires never cease, struggles never cease. No one wants to give up the happiness they have achieved. But if they surrender, and if I hand over the future to the young people of the future, will their descendants interfere and end up being the ones who suffer in my place?"

Although Du Lin used a long Tang Dynasty idiom, Lina still understood what he meant. She fell silent, then looked at Du Lin again: "Old Silver Dragon told me that human history is a history of bloodshed, and every page of history is stained with the blood and tears of mortals. I didn't believe it before, but now that you say so, I have to believe it."

"I'm sorry, but this is civilization. It doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Everything is just a cruel and merciless show of winners and losers. All we can do is stand on the side of the people and slaughter all those who want to oppose us. Even if time takes away generation after generation of mortals, as extraordinary people, we should remember their sacrifices." Du Lin finished speaking, holding Lina's hand and walking out the door. "This is the limitation of the times. As a human being, I'm truly sorry."

Du Lin was really sincere, because Lina was just a little stupid, her heart was good, her alchemy saved many people, she was injured during these transport missions, but she didn't say a word, just because she knew that her Du Lin was really too busy.

"Don't apologize to me, Du Lin. If you truly must use destruction and death to bring about order and rebirth, then I will definitely accompany you to face the end, even if it means becoming a messenger of destruction. Justice should not be trampled upon, righteousness should not be trampled upon, and the poor should not be harmed. If there must be death, bloodshed, and sacrifice, then why can't we let the bad guys bleed, let them be hurt, let them face death... Du Lin, what I said is true, isn't it?"

Lina's low murmur echoed from behind.

Du Lin turned around and saw him and her walking on the stairs. Due to the angle of the sunlight, Du Lin could only see the bright eyes and golden dragon horns in the dark corridor.

Finally, Du Lin laughed. He led her down the stairs and through the dim corridor. As he lit the remaining candle on the wall, he spoke, "That's right. But even if this means betraying your side, you won't regret it. You know, killing doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, especially in many cases, we have to take the initiative to stain our hands with blood."

"People in Chang Tang say, 'Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.' Now that I'm married to you, Zhulong, I should have a faith as strong as stone. Even if it dims the grace of the gods, I will stick to my words and deeds. Those who died silently in history must have held such a belief." The girl behind him answered, seeming a little decisive.

Durin, who had already walked out of the corridor, turned sideways and looked at the little female dragon in front of him.

Finally, he smiled and held her hand tightly.

"I will always remember your oath, and you should not forget it either."

"I won't forget. If there is an afterlife, remember to come find me."

After saying that, the little female dragon smiled happily and leaned next to Du Lin.

For the first time, the two tails became entangled.
