Durin's Diary

Chapter 708 Meet again

Outside the Circle of Truth, old Enrique sat on a bench. The old man in a windbreaker looked across the street at the children from the nearby academy walking by in groups.

Liz walked over to him and sat down. "The Great Elder has sent a message. It has been confirmed that the Church of the Goddess of Wealth has refused to pay all the profits earned by Du Lin's group from the exchange and is preparing to return the money to all debtors."

Upon hearing the news, old Enrique sighed and said, "From now on, there will be no more goddess of wealth in this world."

"Yes, human life is short. They don't understand that if they lose their neutrality, the priesthood of wealth will begin to backfire on the goddess. In a few days, when the church priests discover they have lost their divine intuition, they will realize that everything is ruined." Liz said this, looking at the laughing children across the street. "Our Du Lin is truly doing great things, but it's strange that this time the Great Elder didn't say a word about Du Lin's wrongdoing. This involves the gods, and he didn't say a word about the thing that provoked the children. He even suppressed several cases initiated by the followers of the Goddess of Wealth to condemn Du Lin."

Old Enrique sighed - he and the Great Elder understood what Durin wanted to do. If Durin wanted to accomplish his great cause, he had to eliminate all non-human existences. It was very likely that the Original Creator and the God of Vengeance knew about this, and so did the first Nuwa.

But Liz didn't know that the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.

He could only change the subject: "The Church of the Goddess of Fortune is courting its own demise. Durin is so powerful now that the Eastern Elf Territory seems too small for him. He can still remember his own bloodline, so who can we blame him for anything, right?"

"That's right. The Church of the Goddess of Wealth has its own way of seeking death. I'm also puzzled. She is clearly an Old God, why is she being coerced by the priesthood, while the Seven Strange Gods are not like this."

The Seven Strange Gods were corrupted by the God of Chaos and are somewhat separated from their priesthood, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Old Enrique was about to speak when he saw the messenger running over. "The Great Elder is preparing to call an emergency meeting! It's about Lord Durin! Please ask the two elders to return to the lobby immediately!"

It came so quickly.

Old Enrique didn't know whether he should praise the boy Dulin or sigh that he was able to witness the fall of a god with his own eyes.

………………

Durin stood in front of the heavy metal door of the refuge, a secret place beneath the northern wastes.

Beside him, Director Sun, the embodiment of rationality, was lighting a cigarette for himself.

"Let me think about it. It's been a long time since I last saw Weilai. This girl used to always follow me around, always saying, 'Director Sun, Director Sun, isn't what we're doing violating ethics?'"

He sighed when he said this: "I never thought that one day we would meet again, and reunite in such an absurd way."

At this point, he turned his head and looked at Eleven: "Come on, play a song."

"What song do you want to play?"

"Let's sing a love song in Chinese." The incarnation of rationality sighed and started puffing on his cigarette.

Du Lin reached out, took out his ID and placed it on the scanner outside the gate.

The door creaked and began to open, followed by a cold AI voice.

'Welcome to the private sanctuary of Villers-Castell, Director Dulin.'

A ray of light shone through the door of the shelter that had been sealed for many years. The interior of the shelter, which had not been damaged in any way, was still in operation, and the light and shadow were projected on the long-closed corridor.

The ventilation system was working, bringing fresh air to this shelter that had been deserted for a long time. The air mixed with the new air was chilly, and the emergency lights on the wall automatically lit up as Dulin and the incarnation of rationality entered.

Turning the corner, Du Lin and the incarnation of reason saw a small hall. Under the light, the walls were covered with various photos. Du Lin walked to the wall and saw various people in the photos.

In every photo, there is a bunny girl smiling happily.

"She is Ville Caster, one of the first fantasy species we created. She has rabbit-like animal ears and is a very curious and cute creature. I quickly confirmed her talent in knowledge and accepted her as my assistant." The incarnation of rationality said this and came to a large photo with Du Lin.

In the photo, Director Sun is sitting there smiling, and two grassland elf girls are chasing the rabbit girl.

Du Lin clicked the play button on the photo and found that the photo started to move. The girls' laughter filled this quiet sanctuary at this moment.

"What do you think?" Du Lin turned his head and looked at the embodiment of rationality and asked.

"I have no memory of this photo. It must have been taken by Vile's automatic camera..." Having said this, the incarnation of rationality sighed.

Eleven was playing a song, and Du Lin heard the lyrics - 'We once had it, when tears flowed back into a frozen river, it was the accumulation of longing that was too heavy, it was the resurrection of scenes from the past, in this different time and space, I remember we once had it'

As time went on, activity within the shelter gradually picked up. Several cleaning machines emerged from the storage area, and Du Lin also saw a small eyeball robot flying over from another aisle.

"Welcome to Miss Ville Custer's refuge. Miss has no plans for your visit. Director Du Lin, do you need me to activate Miss's life support capsule for you?"

"Open it." Du Lin said.

After Du Lin finished speaking, he followed the eyeball robot.

As he went deeper, reality began to distort, and Du Lin seemed to be back in the research center in a trance.

"This is her kingdom of God... She still remembers the corridor of the research center, this silly girl." The incarnation of rationality sighed.

Du Lin looked at the pod-shaped life support cabin at the end of the corridor, and the lights on its outer shell were lighting up.

Du Lin stopped and looked at the incarnation of rationality beside him - here, he turned back into Director Sun's appearance. This should be the Kingdom of God automatically identifying the incarnation of rationality as Director Sun.

What about me?

Du Lin used the water mirror technique out of curiosity, and then saw the old man in the mirror.

He was still wearing the hospital gown, looking sickly, with age spots all over his face.

"I never thought that the person Anonymous would find would be an old man like you." Director Sun smiled, she covered her mouth and squinted her eyes.

"I'm sorry, there is always someone in my heart that I can't forget. Maybe it's because of her that my soul is anchored and I can always remember who I am." Facing such a god who had died long ago, Du Lin sighed.

To be honest, he really couldn't remember what the girl looked like, but he would always remember her crying and asking us to leave Tainan and start over.

Silly girl, the day we meet at war, there will be no future for us.

"She really has good taste. She can recognize you from a huge crowd at a glance and live in your heart." At this point, Director Sun sighed: "When you were young, you must have looked very handsome in her eyes."
