Durin's Diary

Chapter 717 Feelings
The Church of the Goddess of Wealth finally announced its dissolution two months later - because the goddess never responded to them again, and the pressure from all sides soon overwhelmed the grassroots members and believers.

Du Lin also sighed about this. Although many ghosts coveted the priesthood of wealth, the original creator stood up and said that he would supervise this priesthood and ensure that it would not fall into the hands of ambitious people with ulterior motives.

Then the ghosts and monsters disappeared again.

This made Du Lin breathe a sigh of relief - at least there wouldn't be endless ambitious people and divine thieves to cause him trouble.

This is a good thing.

As for the bad things, it was simple. The astrologers stood up and announced that with the fall of the goddess of wealth, a turbulent year would come.

In these turbulent years, I felt a kind of joy, similar to the time when I played the forgotten world of Dungeons & Dragons Medieval 3 in the research center. I didn’t expect it.

Eleven sighed.

After all, a god has died, and I don’t know what to do next. If the gods become alert, I think it will be difficult to deal with.

Daju said so.

Not necessarily. The rumor about the death of the Goddess of Wealth was that the church members messed around and ended up killing the Goddess by mistake.

Eleven added this.

But Du Lin disagrees.

Only by being careful can one accomplish great things. For Durin, the next target is the Demon Lord - if he only kills neutral gods, it will definitely lead to unnecessary vigilance and trouble, but if the next one to die is the Demon Lord, then it will be easier for many to accept.

After all, these are already turbulent years, and if an evil god that everyone hates dies, everyone will just feel that it is a good death.

Moreover, as the Demon Lord is an alien god, his humanity and divine duties are completely separate, which means that if he really wants to, he can use someone else as a substitute - of course, in Durin's view, a rational being would definitely not do such a substitution.

Just kill him.

But now is not the time to meet Negan and the others. After all, Durin has been in the limelight recently, and the entire Western Continent is discussing Durin’s so-called ultimate enemy.

………………

Secretary Sora looked at the newspaper in his hand. This was not the first time he had come into contact with capital. In Venice, there were small merchant associations. In his opinion, this was a small capital alliance. There were too many wealthy merchants in Venice. Some big merchants united to hoard goods. Northernism suffered a lot in its early years. In the end, it had no choice but to slaughter several batches of merchants' families. This made these guys understand that Northernism was indeed a Farol who fled here, but it would be a big mistake to regard Northernism as refugees.

This kid Du Lin is really talented. He understood early on that it was useless to reason with these people, and that they said sorry not because they had a change of heart, but because they knew they were going to die.

As the Chang Tang proverb says, you won’t cry until you see the coffin.

"You're reading the newspaper again? Did that Durin kid say something outrageous again?" Ace walked in, two boxes of Farol pizza in each hand. "No, I was just reading Durin's previous statement. He's an amazing kid. His brother is kind and smart. And he's smart and kind." Sora looked up at his old friend.

Hearing his old friend say this, Ace pointed at him and smiled: "By the way, many people are talking about having Poole come back to take charge of Venice. What do you think?"

"Let others take over Venice, a cesspool like this. Austria-Switzerland has almost been turned into a paradise on earth by Pool. What's the problem? After he is transferred, someone else wants to reap the benefits. We agree, but will Durin agree? He is really bored. Tell them that Venice is the business of the Northern Bureau. Pool will never be transferred to the Northern Bureau until the internal affairs of Venice are properly taken care of. I was counting on this kid and his brother to train more young people for our Northernism." Sora spoke for Pool and Durin.

To be honest, all the young cadres of Northernism trained by Pool in recent years are very useful. They have seen the world, but are extremely loyal to Northernism. They learned theoretical knowledge of economics and construction from Pool, and learned what loyalty to the ideology means from Dulin. From the outside, they are all unreliable. For example, the third deputy secretary who has just been transferred to the Northern Bureau is a young man who wears big sunglasses and bell-bottom pants every day. He looks like the hippies who are popular in the Northern Kingdom recently and are not doing their job properly.

But when it comes to getting things done, none of the old secretaries in Milan's eleven districts are as useful as him. The old secretary has repeatedly ordered the teams below to manage the neighborhoods well, but it's no use.

As soon as this young man arrived, he brought six teams and took over the three blocks under his management. Within a month, he turned these three blocks upside down. The spies from various countries that had not been caught were pulled out like melons on a vine.

He came here and did three things.

Distribute rice, flour and oil to the poor, mobilize the elderly to find out the movements of new immigrants, and then analyze them - those who carry bags at the dock every day definitely don't have time to be spies, and those tailors, those barbers, those pharmacists who don't work hard and are lazy every day, they will be caught one by one.

Of course, those caught also included the doves of the Trinitarian Church, secret agents of various major churches, and even their counterparts from the Austrian-Swiss Union.

All of these were released - after all, as the people of Changtang said, even if there was a big flood, the Dragon King Temple could not be washed away.

"That's right. The young people these two have trained are incredibly useful. They're either talented in building the nation or skilled in intelligence. Yesterday, the Northern Bureau sent a telegram saying that the Third Deputy Secretary has taken over all the neighborhood work in Milan. These young people are incredibly motivated, and even Old Wilson said there's no problem handing the country over to them."

"Why, old Wilson wants to go home and retire now? That won't do. The old man has to protect the young people from the storm."

The two secretaries chatted until here, then sat down and began to share their lunch today.

"By the way, where is your Annie?" Sora asked.

"She went to Milan with the wives of the secretaries today. She said she was going to attend the Milan Fashion Week. It's an event held by Savoy Fashion, which is run by that deer-like girl named Alyssa Idar from the Durin family, and several major clothing stores in Milan to promote Farol and Savoy ready-to-wear fashion. I don't know much about it, but you also know that the Idar family is part of the Triarchy. There's no way that what they do can be dangerous. As for selling more clothes, they can pay more taxes to us, right?" Ace said this and picked up a piece of pizza. Then he and Sora looked at the fruit on the pizza and fell silent.

Finally, Sora picked up the apple chunks and put them in his mouth: "Where did you buy them from?"

"The Prairie Elves' new shop..." Ace also ate a piece of apple: "You said..."

"Forget it, forget it. Even if the grassland elves put pineapples on it, let alone apples, we have to tolerate it, right? After all, these little guys are so cute and they pay us so much tax."

After the two old men finished speaking, they sighed and began to share their lunch.
