Durin's Diary

Chapter 728 Making up for it
Charlie and Paul were next door when Negan Loval was on trial, and the technique allowed everyone in the room to see the trial scene in a one-way manner.

When Negan looked at the bishops with a bewildered look on his face and said, "Are we really worse than them and deserve to die?", Charlie sat down on a chair in the corner in silence.

He was also asking himself - Negan Loval escaped a disaster when he was young, and he hid his whole life. In order not to be discovered, he never did anything evil in his life. His biggest sin was probably stealing other people's graves, but this kind of thing would be done by someone who is not a necromancer, so even if he was caught, he would only be beaten up, and he would definitely not die.

And what he said next made Charlie even more at a loss as to how to respond.

"When I was young, I loved to play. One day, I went out and played with my friends on the street for a long time. When I came back, I saw my house on fire. My father, mother, and grandmother were all dead in the street. The demon hunters dragged my family out and bled them directly on the road. I know that for a family of necromancers, this is what they deserved, but they all died. I ran away for my whole life. In the end, I found that the evil my family had done was like a joke in the eyes of the capitalists. I was really tired after running away for so long, especially when I listened to the advice of a gentleman and followed him to buy futures and made so much money from the exchange..."

The old man lowered his head at this point. "My family's sins have been paid for with their lives. But what about the capitalists? If it weren't for Lord Durin to stop this, their exploitation would have killed more people than the Dead Tide, and they would not be punished for it. So I have come. Whether you plan to hang me or let me spend eternity in the Black Prison, I don't care. I will sing in hell anyway. I will forever watch you, the followers of the Nameless One. I want to watch you to see if you will send these creatures, who are even more evil than us, to hell to be tortured."

Charlie sat there until Negan Loval was dragged away by the Paladin guards.

His old friend sat down next to him: "Xia Li..."

"Boll, I've lived for so long, and I'm surprised a necromancer could speak so resoundingly. He's evil, to be sure, but what about those capitalists? If Lord Durin doesn't stop them, all the poor people on this earth will be legally oppressed, and their future will become a vicious cycle with no way out. Their fate, their future, and their hopes will all be ruthlessly trampled upon by those people, and we're powerless to do anything, simply because they're mortals. But how can they be considered human?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Durin and those northernists won't watch the world go to doomsday. We are the sword of civilization, the warriors standing between civilization and barbarism. Young people like Durin are fighting within civilization. We have our responsibilities, and they have theirs. As for necromancers like Negan, they come here with doubts. Why? Isn't it because His Highness Durin has shown them a brand new era, a new enemy of civilization, and an old man like him who longs for a peaceful life, as long as he really hasn't committed a serious crime as he claims, I believe he can also be redeemed."

At this point, Boll looked at his old friend: "What about you, Charlie? Will you forgive him and yourself?"

"...If Nameless forgives him, I will too, but I will not forgive my weakness." Having said this, Charlie stood up and said, "Let's go. I want to go back and rest. In any case, the last regret in my life has been made up. Thank you, old friend."

He held out his hand to shake Paul's, and his friend smiled and took his.

………………

Durin called out to the paladins in the corridor. The paladins were confused at first, but when the nameless man came out from behind Durin, the paladins immediately dragged Negan in.

He sat down next to Marilyn, took the cigarette from Dulinfen, and finally sighed: "I have guessed many things about your identity, but I never dared to guess that you were Dulin Elsh."

"Now the answer is clear, how do you feel?" Du Lin sat in front of them and took out a cigarette to pass to Negan.

"It's quite novel, Mr. Dulin. Aren't we quite foolish?"

"You're not stupid, because you still have some conscience and you want to live like human beings. Since you all want this, I can help you." Du Lin said, and then he transformed into the appearance of Zhulong. "This is the nameless person. If you are willing to tell me where that person is, I can guarantee you."

"It's great to have you as a guarantor. Since you are so generous, I can also tell you a secret." "What secret?"

Du Lin asked with a smile.

"The Devourer might be in the mountains of central Switzerland. There are old cities and terrifying old-era machines there. No hunter would think of risking their lives there, but recently I heard from people in the city that they sometimes see lights in the old buildings on the mountaintops at night. No one paid much attention, thinking they were just drunk and dazzled. But a few days ago, someone saw the lights again. Even the bravest among us spotted carriages entering the mountains and even footprints of people getting off the carriages. Some of the footprints are very small, and they disappear right at the edge of the cliff. So we suspect... there may be a secret society of vampires there, with some powerful individuals capable of flying with several children."

At this point, Negan looked at the Nameless Person and said, "I can't guarantee that it's really him, but I think you might want to find out. After all, more than one person has seen the light, and it seems to be related to the child."

Anonymous immediately called a bishop, who asked them to contact churches in various areas near Lausanne to see if there were any reports of missing children in the nearby areas.

Then he looked at Negan: "Anything else?"

"There's really no other information. As for that person..."

"As long as the information is true, you don't need Du Lin to guarantee you. I will do it myself. If you want to regret it later, I will come after you personally."

When Nameless said this, Negan humbly touched his chest and saluted: "I am really honored that you can come and hunt me down in person. Thank you for trusting me, sir."

Then he gave Du Lin an address.

Located in the border area between the Northern Kingdom and the Sidney Union.

The good news is that it is close to the Duke of Alkin's territory, and it only takes fifteen minutes to get there from the edge of the duchy.

The bad news is...that's Sidney's town.

Du Lin thought for a moment and said, "We need to act in the middle of the night. If everything goes smoothly, it will only take fifteen minutes."

"You can notify the local authorities in the name of the church," Negan said.

"If it can hide there, the whole town is in trouble. Don't notify us in advance, Durin. Once you arrive and confirm the target is there, use the coordinates I gave you. A heroic spirit will come to help you. The whole town will be screened. If the Clegane family asks about it, I will answer them personally. Whoever raises the question will have my whip fall on their hands."

After saying that, Nameless looked at Negan and said, "Now, follow me."
