Durin's Diary

Chapter 721 Conversation
Higgins got up early in the morning.

Although his old friend Durin arranged the best suite for him, he, who had never left Copenhagen, suddenly found that he was only used to his bed.

Karina slept very well last night. In her words, she felt comfortable as soon as she lay down on the bed.

But Higgins couldn't sleep at all.

He could only watch the Changtang merchant ship docking at the pier in the first rays of morning sun.

Looking at these big ships, I heard that they came from the far east. Higgins has always been in awe of adventurers. His father is an adventurer, and he would do anything for the mission.

But compared with these navigators who crossed 20,000 miles, my father's adventure seemed a little ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Higgins prepared to go downstairs - he heard that some samples of Chang Tang breakfast would be provided for breakfast today, and he had to find something delicious for his Karina.

Putting on his winter clothes, Higgins walked towards the elevator. As the elevator came up, he saw the old vampire from Uryula - he walked out of the elevator, pushing a small cart.

I heard that he was one of the three saints of the Three Saints Society. Although it was quite unusual for a vampire to be a saint, Higgins had not seen many vampires who could speak human language these days.

He saw Higgins, smiled and nodded: "You look like you didn't sleep well, the eldest master of the Utari family, is there anything wrong?"

"Well, I'm familiar with my bed." To be honest, Higgins had never slept on such a good bed, nor had he seen such a luxuriously decorated room, but the problem was that he really couldn't sleep on that bed.

"Is that so? Then I really can't help you." Lord Urjula smiled helplessly. He noticed Higgins looking at the cart in his hand while pushing it. "This is what Mr. Andabi Sassar Peru from Room 11 wants. Like you, he is also a grassland elf."

"I've heard of him. He seems to be a war hero from the Eastern Territory. He retired and went back to teach students. Is he here too?"

"Yes, you are..." The old vampire changed his tone.

"I'll go downstairs and see what breakfast options are available."

"I recommend you try fried wontons or fried meatballs. The Chang Tang chef who came recently likes to add sugar to the dishes, which is very popular with you grassland elves." As he spoke, he knocked on the door of number 11 with his magic hand.

Higgins pressed the down button of the elevator with a grateful look on his face.

Fried wontons and... fried meatballs. I don’t know what the long Tang language word for wontons means, but don’t we have grilled meatballs in the West?
………………

Higgins soon discovered he was mistaken.

The meatballs made by Changtang people are so big, and today’s meatballs are made with beef.

Higgins took a sample and the chef told him to be careful not to burn himself and also gave him a pair of knife and fork.

Ah, do I need a knife and fork to eat meatballs?

With this thought in mind, Higgins carefully cut the meatball and saw thick gravy flowing out of it.

It smells...really smells good, just like the delicious food his mother makes for him every day to compensate him.

Higgins took a bite with a sigh.

Then his eyes immediately widened.

This is it!

………………

When Du Lin went downstairs, he saw the Higgins family sitting at the dining table and enjoying meatballs and fried wontons.

Of course, there were also desserts, which Chang Tang’s chef was best at. “Good morning, Mr. Orne, and you, dear Mrs. Utari.”

Du Lin was good at judging people's behavior. Mr. Orne called him that, which gave him both face and substance. The old man would definitely be happy. As for the lady sitting next to him, if you called her anything else, she would just smile at most, but if you called her Mrs. Utari, she would hold Du Lin's hand and ask about his well-being.

"Where's Anta?"

"She's still upstairs, helping her two sisters get up." Du Lin told the truth.

Reed and Lann dragged Dulin and Anta to play mahjong yesterday, and they ended up sliding under the table.

"Young man, I really envy you for having such a good physique." Mr. Orne laughed, and then was elbowed by his wife Utari without leaving any trace.

"Don't listen to your Uncle Orne. Ah, yes, they are coming."

Du Lin turned around and waved to his girls.

They came over and, led by Anta, greeted the old man and the old lady.

Then Anta leaned over and hugged Karina.

"Long time no see, my Karina. I never thought that you would be the first to become a mother. After all, when I first met you, you were still an iron girl who no one liked." Anta teased with a smile.

Karina smiled helplessly, "Who knew it would turn out like that?" Then she looked at Higgins, who was still showing off his meatballs. Noticing his wife's reproachful gaze, he smiled at Du Lin, "I've never tasted meatballs so delicious. You're really doing well."

"Would I lie to you again?" Du Lin replied with a smile, and together with Anta, he helped Karina sit down.

"There's still room at the table, Mr. Dulin. Please share it with us," Mr. Orne invited.

Sharing a table is not common in the travels of grassland elves, but if both parties are grassland elves, it is not uncommon.

Du Lin nodded and sat down to Higgins' left.

Anta sat next to her mentor, while Lan and Lid sat between her and Durin.

"By the way, I heard you've been very busy lately. How come you have time to stay here today?" Higgins asked.

"It's too busy and some people can't sleep well, so I can only stay here for a while." This is also true. After all, everyone has been staring at Du Lin recently, wanting to see whether the death of the goddess of wealth was intentional or just her bad luck. Du Lin can only hide for a while.

But it’s okay. It takes time for rational beings to digest divinity. Even if Du Lin has fun every day recently, it will not affect his subsequent actions.

"You mean that one, right? Speaking of which, their church is also crazy."

"Higgins, don't talk while eating. You will embarrass the Utari family in front of Mr. Dulin." His mother looked at Higgins and said, "Also, you have to call Dulin Mr.."

"Ma'am, it's okay. Higgins, Karina and I have known each other for a long time. There's no need to be so unfamiliar with each other." Du Lin said as he smiled and patted Higgins' shoulder.

"I really envy the friendship of young people. I don't have many old friends. When they see me now, they just say 'Oh, dear Master Orne.'" Then Mr. Orne was interrupted by his wife's elbow.

Du Lin smiled.

It’s really nice to have a family together.

For some reason, he felt a little envious.
