Durin's Diary

Chapter 77 History

Elaine knew nothing, but when Du Lin extended his hand, she held it tightly.

This made Du Lin feel emotional, he wished Anta could be so well-behaved.

It’s a pity that Anta is Anta and Elaine is Elaine.

After walking out of the college, through the busy streets and crowds, and turning into the community intersection, Du Lin finally felt the sobbing of the person behind him.

Du Lin stopped and turned to look at Elaine.

The little bird's eyes were filled with tears: "Mr. Du Lin, if I were a boy, would I not have to face such suffering?"

"Silly girl." Du Lin reached out and patted Elaine's head. "Being a boy means you'll experience all the hardships boys have. Maybe your relatives won't let you marry, but they'll still try to seize your property. If you were a girl, you could still get married. If you were a boy, there would be other ways to get rid of you. Have you ever thought about a branch extending from the horse path, a dead branch that might fall and trip a horse, or a broken piece of rusty iron? In short, there are so many ways to kill a person."

Perhaps it was the first time she heard such a cruel story. Elaine fell silent, her face full of sorrow. “Grandma always wanted me to leave home. Now I understand.”

"Leaving may not be a bad thing. Okay, I'll take you home. Melinda is at home. Don't underestimate her. She will protect you." Du Lin comforted.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Du Lin." At this time, Elaine also held Du Lin's hand: "I was very worried about you at that time because I knew my cousin was a bad guy."

Du Lin was a little touched: "That's your cousin."

"He and his father treated me like a commodity, so why should I be nice to them? I heard he was going to cause trouble for you, so I wanted to take you with me, but I didn't expect you to be such a good shot." At this point, Elaine blushed a little: "Can you teach me?"

"I trained myself on ducks, roe deer, wild boars, and human traffickers in Lublin," Du Lin said half-jokingly, half-seriously. "Of course I can teach you."

Elaine nodded happily: "Thank you, Mr. Du Lin."

"I will definitely teach you when I have time. It's no problem to protect yourself." Du Lin patted his chest, then took Elaine's hand and came to her door.

Melinda opened the door.

As Elaine walked into the door, she turned and looked at Du Lin: "I have a place. Next time you are free, I would like to invite you to come over and have a cup of coffee, okay?" After Elaine said that, she stood there waiting for an answer.

Du Lin thought about it and felt that the place Elaine mentioned should be something like a cat pet cafe, where cute girls like Elaine would surround the little cats and pet them happily. As for whether the cats could speak human language like Xia Li, Du Lin was not sure.

But it’s okay, there’s always free time.

Thinking of this, Du Lin smiled and said goodbye to her.

After Melinda closed the door, Daju broke the silence.

It’s time for us to set off, Dulin.

Yeah, we should go.

………………

When we arrived at the embassy, ​​our old Yi Xu was already sitting with Qin Lun drinking tea, and there was also a silver-haired old man sitting with them.

Dulin's arrival made Old Ish smile. He introduced himself to the old man beside him: "My great grandson, Dulin, Lord Ackles, you probably haven't seen him before."

"I haven't seen him, but I've heard what he said. He said we need to make movies great, and no longer just a shabby tool for filming little human girls' thighs." The old man laughed happily at this. Du Lin immediately understood - the old man said human, which meant he was not human. If he were to find a kind among elves, Du Lin would think that the old man in front of him was a silver dragon, an old species.

In fact, Durin guessed correctly. The one in front of him was a silver dragon who lived in the northern port of Oslo, the capital of the Giant Kingdom, and was named Ackles Silverwing.

He is the first of the four silver dragon bloodlines possessed by the Elsh family.

Du Lin obediently let the old silver dragon touch his head and observe his dragon tail. The old silver dragon also lamented the difference between the Changtang dragon species and the Xilu dragon species.

Then he talked to him about the possibility of movies. Curiosity made the old Silver Dragon say that when Du Lin made his first movie, he would definitely watch the entire movie with a supervisory mentality to see if Du Lin was talking big.

Of course Du Lin wouldn't worry, although he felt that the old silver dragon might not be able to understand everything in the movie Du Lin shot, at least Du Lin himself didn't have to worry - after all, he didn't really only shoot girls' thighs.

At this time, Mr. Qin Lun pointed at the secretary who was waving to him outside the garden, then apologized and left... Something must have happened.

"By the way, Lord Ackles is here too, Durin. Tell him your views on this northern land," said Old Ish.

Durin thought for a moment, looking at Ackles before him. "I've lived in Copenhagen for a month, and I feel like the human kingdom... at least in this city in the Northern Kingdom, sometimes I don't feel much difference from the Eastern Elf Territory. Although I do feel there's a huge gap between the lives of commoners and nobles, at least the commoners can still survive. I haven't been anywhere else, nor to the town, but I think it's better than I expected."

At this point, Dulin thought for a moment and said, "I want to know what Northernism is all about. Mr. Ackles, can you tell me?"

He wanted to see what the silver dragons thought of this change in humanity.

"Just like when I first came here." Old Ish looked at Ackles with a smile.

"When talking about Northernism, we have to mention a person, Jean Mayer. Do you know who he is, Dürer?" Mr. Ackles was obviously explaining to Dürer. His question seemed a little unfamiliar to Dürer, although he had just seen this name before.

So Old Isch gave Dühring an answer: "Jean Mayer, the last general secretary of the First Commune, was also the last prince of the Mayer dynasty of the Northern Kingdom before the First Commune."

"The Meyer Dynasty lasted for three centuries. I knew every member of this family. It wasn't until the rise of the First Commune that humanity developed a new ideology. They believed poverty and suffering were all due to exploitation by the royal family and the nobility. Ultimately, a revolution that engulfed the entire nation broke out." At this point, Lord Ackles's face was filled with nostalgia. "Many humans died, but they ultimately succeeded. Many nobles, even a branch of the royal family, joined this fateful war. They combined their ideas into their creed, and because it was the Northern Kingdom, it was called Northernism."

Du Lin nodded.

At this time, Lord Ackles spoke again: "So, Dulin, why do you think the First Commune was ultimately destroyed?"

Du Lin thought for a moment and then spoke, "The first generation crushed suffering with their own hands, the second witnessed it with their own eyes, the third heard it with their own ears, and the fourth could only read about it through stories. Humans are a short-lived race, naturally adept at forgetting. If humans don't remember history, then human civilization will be swallowed up by the torrent of history. Civilization will thus repeatedly face destruction and rebirth. The history of human civilization sounds long, but it can be summed up in three words: war, peace, and revolution."

At this point, Durin sighed, "King Robert Walter was a good king. He saw the suffering that war brought to his people. Under his rule, everyone in the Northern Kingdom lived well. But his children, his grandchildren, the descendants of the nobles... the younger generation only felt that the crowns and laurels on their heads were their due, a gift from the gods. And so history returned to its previous course. All the dancers followed the band's music, the whole ball became boring again, and civilization entered a new cycle."

This is the history of mankind. History is so long and mankind is so smart, but mankind has never been able to learn anything from history.

"You're much more sensible than you were back then." Lord Alex smiled and looked at Old Ish, who also smiled and sighed, "That's why you're my great grandson."

After laughing, Lord Alex turned around and told Dulin: "Dulin, my good boy, remember what you said today. Don't tell anyone else. Humans don't like aliens who tell the truth."

Du Lin nodded as a matter of course: "I remember it."

In the human world, people who like to tell the truth are disliked even by their own kind, let alone those of other races. Sir Alex, you are still too optimistic.
