Durin's Diary

Chapter 765: Floating Life
The middle-aged man walked over, he was a little frightened - he was not inside and did not see Durin's transformation, but when he saw a bone lich walking with these legends and extraordinary people as if nothing had happened, he had no choice but to come over.

What is your surname?

Du Lin asked.

"Chester Ingram, Colonel, deputy commander of the Sidney Army in Lille." The middle-aged man answered while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Colonel Chester, who is now in charge of Lille?

Du Lin continued to ask.

"Directly from the Crown, sir." He looked courageous, but his trembling arm betrayed its owner.

Who is the acting chief?

Du Lin asked as he took out his slightly mottled walking stick.

"Marquis Jaden Hogan." The middle-aged man looked at the cane, and his hands shook even more.

He is there.

"He left the city four days ago."

This answer made Du Lin smile. He raised his cane and slammed it heavily on the ground.

This rat actually escaped. Then, in the name of the Four-Grade Legend, I will take over this city! From now on, I will establish a set of effective methods and do everything I can to control this round of epidemic. Anyone have any objections?

"Who are you, sir?" The old nobleman who didn't know how to live or die spoke.

Du Lin sighed and gestured to Colonel Chester to introduce him.

"Foolish! There's only one fourth-level legend in this world, and that's Lord Durin!" The colonel tactfully introduced, "You'd better apologize now! Earl Langton!"

I don't need a fool's apology, Earl of Langton. I've heard of your name. You own many estates and three towns near Lille. A large landowner like you shouldn't be short of food. I'm now confiscating 50% of the wheat and all the flour in your granary under wartime laws.

Du Lin said as he looked at the old man.

The middle-aged man next to the latter wanted to say something, but was slapped to the ground by the old man. He knelt on one knee in front of Du Lin and said, "Sir, please believe in our loyalty to this land. Our family will fully supply all the flour and wheat you need."

I see your loyalty to this land, and I'm glad that your family still has a sensible backbone like you. This is a small gift from me.

As Du Lin spoke, he took out a gold cigarette case.

For all the expenses of flour and wheat, you can go to the Clegane family. If they don't pay, you can ask the church to come to me. The Elsh family will never bring shame to the family.

"I believe every word, every letter and symbol of yours. I will now let my most reliable child go to notify the outside of the city and ask them to send food here immediately." The old man stood up and looked at the other young man who was still standing.

He didn't say a word, but the young man nodded vigorously and then ran south with all his strength.

Du Lin was very satisfied and looked at everyone in the church.

All bakeries will be operating 24 hours a day from now on. If there aren't enough workers, I will mobilize my orc clans to help. Never let the furnaces cool down. As a wartime regulation, I can tolerate bread with softened sawdust, but if the ratio exceeds 25%, the workers who made this batch of bread will be immediately shot. If someone orders them to do so, I don't mind replacing the names on the list with others and tracking them down. I wouldn't even mind killing a few nobles to entertain the suffering people.

"Yes, Your Excellency Durin, please rest assured. As long as we have flour and wheat, we will do everything in our power to prevent the citizens from starving." The old bishop and the poorly dressed bishop of the Church of the God of Suffering who walked up to him answered in unison.

So Du Lin looked towards the nobles again.

I don't mind you taking the initiative to replenish supplies. This city has over 300,000 citizens and workers, and thanks to many of you, they suffer from occupational diseases and don't have enough money to buy food. But I still hope you will stand up at this moment and use your remaining conscience to help them. Du Lin said this, a pale soul fire flowing in his eyes.

I won't force you like I forced Lord Langton, because the Elsh family doesn't need too much friendship, and to be honest, there are many people who don't deserve the Elsh family's friendship. So it's up to you. But if anyone is still willing to do this, you can hand over the supplies to Colonel Chester and ask him to issue you a certificate. Then you can use these certificates to get money from the Clegane family.

Having said this, Dulin made a gesture to the bishops.

Remember, if your king doesn't acknowledge his deeds, the Elsh family will. Anyone who is loyal to this land will be recognized by me.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dulin felt something in his heart. He stood up straight. Under the gaze of hundreds of people, a golden laurel wreath once again grew on the top of Dulin's pale skull.

The power of the Twin Mothers and the Nameless One fell upon his shoulders simultaneously.

It seems that the epidemic in Lille is not just ordinary flu.

We have to strike hard.

………………

Colonel Chester soon regretted it - because every family was eager to donate the excess food in their warehouses, from flour to wheat, from sausages to dried meat, from clothing to herbs, and even an earl donated thousands of guns.

The things mentioned above are useful, but what’s the use of such a gun? Are we going to give one to every dead person?

What is this old guy thinking!

Fortunately, the bishop of the God of Nobility was present, and he scolded the earl harshly.

"Thank you so much." Colonel Chester was very grateful.

"Don't thank me, young man. Thank His Excellency Durin instead. Although he doesn't act like a noble, his loyalty to this land is even more noble than those of his peers." The old bishop said, making a holy emblem on his chest. "Her Excellency Durin has already penetrated deep into the Lower City. There are very few people as devoted to this land as him."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Chester nodded continuously.

Then he heard the noise coming from the teleportation center.

He stood up and walked to the gate with the old bishop.

They saw a lot of kittens coming out of the center, and many of them were pushing various large carts.

"They say they are Lord Durin's relatives." A city guard quickly ran over and asked, "Colonel, how should we accommodate them?"

"Who's in charge?" Colonel Chester asked.

Soon, a little cat orc of the Nicolais species came over. She was wearing a maid's clothes, but had a pair of long braids with golden laurel marks on them.

"I am Xia Li, the humble head maid of Lord Durin. I have come here at your summons. We will establish an isolation ward and try to identify the composition of the influenza virus."

Colonel Chester was still a little confused.

But the old bishop understood.

He nodded and said, "Please follow me. There is a large open space in the square in front of the church."

　Happy New Year and a prosperous Year of the Snake
