Durin's Diary

Chapter 780 Choice
Du Lin stayed in Lille for a week and confirmed that this wave of epidemic was truly under control. He finally asked for forgiveness from the Church of the Original Creator, and all the undead legal men who came to help were pardoned.

Considering that the identities of two of them had been exposed, Du Lin simply invited them to teach at the Medical College in Lublin.

After sending away the necromancers, Du Lin began to live a confused life where he listened to the quarrels between the nobles and the bishops every day.

Anyway, Du Lin is here in Ercheng, so no one can cause any trouble.

The citizens thought so too, so Du Lin appeared in the central square of Lille every day to listen to the debate. As soon as he appeared, there was thunderous applause.

This is the only entertainment program in Lille City now. After all, half a year ago, the labor and management sides were cursing each other here, until the Clegane family sided with the civilians and resolved the matter.

At the time, the Clegane family also said that if there were any disputes in Lille City in the future, they would have to argue here.

Of course, at this critical moment when Marquis Jaden Hogan's family was short of two members, there were still many people who wanted Du Lin to come up with an idea.

After all, it is meaningless for so many people to quarrel over the stronghold every day - Lord Durin, just say it, kill as many people as you want, and we, the civilians of Lille City, are waiting for you to give us justice.

Facing the people's representatives, Du Lin smiled and shook his head.

Lille is the city of the people of Lille. How can I, an outsider, make the decisions?

………………

Besar has not participated in the debate between Guichu and the church in recent days. The reason is simple. Besar is too old to care about these mundane matters. Young people are quick-witted and have a natural advantage in quarreling. They don't need to worry about face like the elderly when it comes to swearing.

So on the tenth day, John Box came with his men.

There were many people who came, all of them were from the older generation. When the young people were pointing fingers at each other and cursing at each other, both the nobles and the older generation in the church instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Lord Durin had never been so steady before. In the Great Forest, he never asked any questions when killing people. The entire family of the escaped noble would be hanging on the gallows in an instant; in Lublin, the human traffickers would kill the entire family as quickly as possible, even the birds on the shelves, the cats in front of the stove, the dogs in front of the gate and the insects in the cracks in the wall would all go to heaven with the family.

But this time, Lord Du Lin seemed to have nothing to do with it and just kept silent.

"This shouldn't be the case. Lord Durin hates evil and hates evil. I really don't understand why Marquis Jaden Hogan can still live until now." The representative from the royal family, old Lord Sheridan, is also a loyal and veteran minister of the royal family. He stood on the high platform of the small conference hall with full of doubts. As the host of this meeting, he represented the royal family.

"Maybe it's because Lord Durin is not the master of this land after all. Didn't he say that Lille is the city of the people of Lille, and he calls himself an outsider." An aristocrat in the audience muttered.

But everyone just listened to this for fun. After all, when Lord Du Lin wanted to kill people over the years, he never considered himself an outsider.

There is a joke that goes like this.

No matter where the person Lord Du Lin wants to kill is hiding, when he goes to find him it will be like going home.

This is true. In this world, even weak gods would not want to cause trouble for Durin. Apart from the Kingdom of God, no other god's church would be a forbidden zone that Durin could not enter.

You ask why? Because of strength.

"Could it be because Lord Durin believes that Marquis Jaden Hogan has not harmed his people..." another noble made this analysis.

But this analysis was quickly refuted by the church. Old John slammed the table himself and said, "Marquis Jaden Hogan and his family traveled south, passing through many towns, including Sidney and Farol. He even crossed the Swiss border on his way to Farol. If he spread the virus along the way, even if Marquis Jaden Hogan and his family had a hundred heads, Lord Durin wouldn't be enough to chop off."

The bishops all agreed that Lord Durin now had no objection to killing Lord Jaden Hogan. The only reason he was undecided was because the church had different opinions on whether to choose the second son or the third son. As for the nobles not wanting Marquis Jaden Hogan to die, that was just their own wishful thinking.

"Then why is he still letting young people quarrel? This shouldn't happen. You and I are both old and wise. Lord Durin is shrewd, but he is still a young man after all. Marquis Jaden Hogan should have died long ago. What we are worried about now is why Lord Durin didn't kill him." "Maybe it's because Marquis Jaden Hogan doesn't deserve it." Finally, the second prince in the corner spoke.

The young man, not even thirty years old, looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "When His Excellency Du Lin was twelve years old, he personally carried out the massacre of a family of human traffickers. You all know what happened afterwards. Those who died at his hands were all extremely evil."

At this point, the young man tapped the armrest of the chair he was sitting on twice. "Your Excellency is probably waiting for our Clegane family to make a choice."

"How dare he be so presumptuous..." Having said this, old Lord Sheridan stopped talking.

Because everyone present only realized it belatedly - Durin's request for advice from the Cleggan family was actually just an ordinary test.

There is no prize for winning, and no idea where the punishment will be if you lose.

It does sound extremely presumptuous, but the question is - can you do anything to a young man who is a duke, a grand duke and a protector of the country, who commands at least 200,000 modern troops and has the status of a fourth-level legendary figure?

There is simply no way.

The nobles remained silent.

But everyone in the church, especially Besar, did not think so.

Everything in this world has less and less constraints on Lord Durin. At least three bishops of the church have confirmed that Lord Durin is awakening - perhaps one day he will become a god.

A young man who could become a god at any moment, how big a ambition would he have to make?

In fact, it is not that big. Lord Durin's kindness and cruelty are written on the faces of the children he saved and the adults he judged.

That's why he didn't want to take action.

It was not his decision whether the two children should die or not, and he did not want to see the choice of the nobles and the church.

But he simply wanted to stay out of it.

If you decide that the two children must die, he will choose to let them die without hesitation.

But if you would have let these two children live, he would not have shown his mercy to the world.

After all, fundamentally speaking, these two children are indeed dispensable on the gallows called trial.

At this moment, old Besar heard the speech of the royal heir.

"Forgive these two children, elders. The Clegane family will personally order the execution of Marquis Jaden Hogan and his eldest son, but likewise, the royal family will forgive these two children."

If the citizens feel that this is not right, then let me go to the square and face the people's representatives directly.

Old Besar sighed.

But I felt relieved.

This is true.
