Durin's Diary

Chapter 714 Straightforward
Durin returned to the stage once again. He smiled and saluted everyone in the audience, then glanced at his feet. "The magic circle is still there. I still call myself Durin Elsh, so this thing shouldn't lose its effect."

On the huge screen behind Du Lin, the circle under his feet remained motionless.

An Jialuo walked to Du Lin at this time. He glanced at the circle under Du Lin's feet and said, "How about I cast the spell again to reassure everyone."

"Why don't you ask me a question and try answering it wrong?" Du Lin said with a smile, "After all, once the backstage guy leaves, no one knows if the Du Lin on stage is still the same Du Lin as before."

At the end of his speech, Durin transformed himself into a bone lich, and then sat down carelessly.

This time, Du Lin used the bones of Zhulong, and the edges of the pure white soul fire in his eyes were spreading.

Dulin possessed a special sequence, the Bone Lich. He clearly possessed the appearance of a lich, but his alignment was pure good. This news had been circulating in the transcendental world for over two years. Everyone watched Dulin perform his transformation on stage, the cardinals chatting and joking as they drank tea, finally realizing that Dulin couldn't be lying.

As for those who don’t understand, they will no longer have any doubts after listening to the explanation.

"Then let me ask you, sir, sir, do you still remember your childhood?" Angallo asked with a smile.

I can’t remember anything before I was four years old.

As soon as Du Lin finished speaking, a fork appeared under his feet.

Everyone in the audience laughed - this meant that Du Lin remembered things before he was four years old. Since the lie detection spell worked normally and His Highness the Nameless's messenger did not come out to fight and kill, it meant that Lord Du Lin was truly adopted.

·Okay, let’s stop chatting here for now. After all, I believe that everyone is here today not to listen to me talk about my past before I was four years old.

As Du Lin spoke, he opened his hands and little goblins danced on his finger bones.

Friends from the media, please start asking questions first. Mr. Austin, stop sitting in the corner with your assistant taking pictures of everyone. Come up here and let's have a good talk.

Du Lin summoned Austin in a whisper, and the latter jogged up somewhat awkwardly. Du Lin raised his hand, and his chair naturally rose from the floor.

It’s been almost a year since we last met in Orekhov. Time flies. By the way, I heard that you have a girlfriend recently, is that true?

"How did this news get to you from the Northern Kingdom?" Austin looked embarrassed, and his answer made many audience members from the north laugh.

Du Lin could see Higgins here, and the boy was laughing particularly loudly.

Okay, that's all I have to say about family matters. An unlucky child like you needs someone to take care of you. If you have anything to say, ask your colleagues first. Du Lin said this, took out his platinum cigarette case, opened it, and handed it to Austin.

Austin took one, but didn't light it. Instead, he clipped it to his ear. Then he looked at Du Lin and said, "I think you should know the question everyone wants to know most right now, so I want to test you. How about you give me the answer yourself?"

You really are concerned about what everyone else is concerned about, and you think about what everyone else is thinking about. Well, to be honest, I didn’t kill him.

After saying that, Du Lin took out a lighter.

Austin was also confused. He put the cigarette to his mouth and let Dulin light it for him.

On the screen, the circle under Du Lin's feet did not change, but there was an uproar in the audience.

"So, does her disappearance have anything to do with you?" Austin asked the second question.

The questions you ask are really sharp, but that’s okay, because after all, this is the Austin Jacobs I know.

Du Lin sighed heartfeltly, glanced at the audience, and nodded.

On the screen, the circle under Du Lin's feet remained the same, and the uproar in the audience became even louder.

However, this time, Du Lin did not give Austin more room to develop, nor did he make the church members beside him anxious. He just leaned back in his chair.

The Goddess of Wealth is not good at showing her divine power. She certainly doesn't know that her believers have betrayed her creed for the slightest benefit. The reason why I say that I am related to her disappearance is because I really don't like the bishops of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. They knew that the Goddess of Wealth is not good at showing her divine power, and perhaps they couldn't wait to hook up with mortals without even asking the Goddess!
Having said that, Du Lin's eyes once again swept across the entire scene.

The people of Changtang have a saying: "A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way!" This means that one must earn money in a down-to-earth manner. But look at the exchange that the Church has jointly run with Sidney in the Northern Kingdom. The difference between it and a casino is that one has official recognition and the so-called blessing of the gods, while the other does not!
I know some of you lost to me and thought you lost to the loopholes I found, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you beat others? Would you still feel that everything was wrong?
After saying that, Du Lin simply stood up and placed another screen on the wall on the other side.

Do you know how much food prices would have risen by next summer if I hadn't defeated the Sidney Grain Group?
Groups of numbers were displayed on the screen, and some people almost lost their voices when they saw the terrifying 172% increase in Paris.

The stock exchange brought together nobles and merchants, previously unable to unite. In their eyes, everything in the world was amenable to destruction! Justice could be trampled upon, conscience could be annihilated, and in their eyes, the already hungry poor were no longer human beings! Their high grain prices would siphon every last penny from the pockets of the common people and the poor!
Du Lin looked at the people in the audience and pointed at the numbers on the screen.

When that day comes, the Church of the Twin Mothers will devote all its energy to saving the poor, but how can a single church save so many people from the clutches of the united nobles and wealthy merchants? They will abandon their dignity and kneel before the grain merchants, but ask yourselves: facing such a price difference! Will you open your warehouses and release grain? Will you abandon such a huge profit?
I know there are good people in this world, but I can't assume everyone is good, gentlemen! That's unrealistic! I'm not torturing your conscience, but I understand that it's impossible for a mortal to give up readily available benefits without paying a price.
So I decided to stand up. Since you want to use free means in the free market to grab every penny from the poor and make them lose their families, then I, Doolin Elsh, can also use the same means to destroy your family!
I once read an interesting point of view in a history book, which is that we live in a world where people eat each other. No one wants to be eaten alive by others. I just represent the people and make those who want them dead lose everything. That's all.

After saying this, Du Lin touched his chest and saluted.
