Durin's Diary

Chapter 80: Awesome
Robbie Alkin, the eldest of the Alkin family, is the patriarch of this small family.

He must be very familiar with Sir Alex, because the stern-faced old man's almost frozen expression relaxed when he saw Alex.

He laughed and hugged Alex. "My old friend, you must have smelled something, right? I have a dinner party tonight. Stay and I will ask the kitchen to prepare the most delicious steak for you."

"That's great, but you guessed wrong this time. I came here with my descendant. He said you invited him to the dinner, so I followed him to see you." Sir Alex said while pointing at Dulin.

"Oh, Durin Elsh, young son of Elsh, welcome to the Alkin Mansion. Your grandfather is a very busy man. I heard that he has received the Ring of Thorns. I am afraid he will have no time to meet me in the future. What a pity." Duke Robbie said as he led Durin and Alex into the mansion.

luxury.

Du Lin's first impression of this mansion was just this simple word.

Whether it is the giant chandelier hanging from the ceiling or the wall lamp on the wall next to it, all the metal parts are wrapped in gold foil.

After entering the door, on the front wall, there is a huge statue of the two loving mother goddesses. The two girls are holding ears of wheat in their hands. The girls look vivid, and the grains of wheat are delicate and full. The endless wheat fields in front and behind them dance in the wind. It is obvious that it was painted by the best painters.

In the corridor, Durin also saw a set of full body armor, which even had a faint glow on it - before the rise of muskets, refined and reliable magic full body armor was a symbol of a family's strength and status.

"This is Alkin's mansion. Come, Dulin, good boy, come and see this. I think you must have seen the same one in Lublin." Duke Robbie's call made Dulin walk in front of him.

Then, Du Lin saw a very familiar photo with young people sitting or standing in it, and Du Lin found the young old Ish among them.

"Yes, I have." Du Lin smiled and nodded. "So the one with gray hair is you."

The old Duke Robbie hadn't changed much compared to his youth. When he found out that Dulin had recognized him, he was overjoyed and filled with nostalgia: "Back then, your grandfather, I, and everyone else were still young. Time flies."

Next to this photo, there is a young couple. The gray-haired man is standing with a smile, while the red-haired woman, who is taller than him, is smiling and holding his arm.

He must be a very important person in Duke Robbie's heart, so he preserved this photo so well.

At this moment, Du Lin heard faint footsteps in the corridor behind him.

He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a girl in a red dress.

He saw a red-haired girl.

Naturally curly red hair, beautiful long eyelashes and big eyes, an exquisite off-shoulder long dress, the exposed part is really big and white.

Mr. Du Lin, you are used to seeing cold-rolled steel sheets on a daily basis. Seeing this all of a sudden, you may feel a little uncomfortable and dizzy.

This time, Daju took the initiative to jump out again.

It is indeed a bit difficult to get used to, but the metaphor of cold-rolled steel is still too much.

However, Du Lin was still quite honest about the beautiful scenery. After all, some things are engraved in the soul. He was used to seeing girls with built-in collars, so in the blink of an eye, he did feel a little dizzy in the northern hemisphere.

And as long as I think of Elaine and Anta, no matter how much I say, it can't stop the two girls from being the carefully selected iron plates for barbecue. Anyway, any curve is a defective product.

There's no comparison.

The young woman was tall and long-legged, a typical northerner. She came to Dulin, smiled, and lifted the hem of her skirt. "Meet Lord Dulin, good afternoon. I'm Tanya Alkin, the granddaughter of Duke Alkin."

"My granddaughter, my only grandchild, and my most outstanding child," Arkin proudly introduced his treasure. "Hello, I'm Dulin, and secondly, I'm not a lord," Dulin explained.

"That's because the human world calls the heir of the Duke a Lord. Since you think this is inappropriate, I'd rather call you Little Sir." The beautiful young girl smiled, bent down, held up Du Lin's hand, and kissed his ring lightly.

This was considered aristocratic etiquette. She had very accurately found the ring that represented Durin's identity, so this kiss was not given to Durin himself, but to his family's identity.

From Dulin's perspective, he could just see that large, white part, which made Dulin sigh again. People are really incomparable. My Anta, the one who appeared in front of me, may be a peak in your life that you will never be able to surpass.

However, this sentence from the young gentleman made Durin understand a truth - Durin of the Elsh family had unknowingly become the target of many people in this city with ulterior motives.

And the girl in front of him seemed to have appeared in front of Du Lin by chance.

But how could there be so many coincidences, right? From the moment Alkin's invitation was delivered, the hunters had already started setting up their nets.

Some hunters even appear in front of their targets as prey.

At this time, she came to Alex and greeted the elder with a smile.

Alex smiled and stroked her head gently: "It's really fast, Tanya, I haven't seen you for six years, and you have grown into a big girl."

The girl smiled with a hint of shyness.

"Tanya, come, take Mr. Durin for a walk. I have something to talk to your grandfather Alex." Duke Robbie said this, certainly wanting to create an opportunity for Durin and his granddaughter.

But who could blame an old man for that?

Thinking of this, Du Lin followed Miss Tan Ya. She said she would take Du Lin to the banquet venue at the back. Of course, she would not go to the main hall, but it was said that several of her friends were in her small building.

While passing through the corridor, Du Lin saw a portrait of a young man holding Tanya in the side hall. Tanya in the portrait looked only four or five years old, and the man holding her was 80% similar to Duke Robbie.

As if noticing Du Lin's pause, Tanya also stopped: "This is my father. He died in an accident along with my mother."

Du Lin sighed: "I'm sorry, Miss Tanya, for reminding you of the bad past."

"It's okay. I was only four when they left me. Now I'm fifteen. Even if I see them again, I can proudly tell my father and mother that I'm no longer the sniveling coward I was back then." She looked at Du Lin and said, "Young Master, please don't call me Miss anymore. It just makes me feel distant. Please call me Tanya."

"Okay, Tanya, don't call me little sir anymore, just call me Du Lin." Du Lin replied with a smile.

She is a proud and good girl, and her words come from the heart.

Daju's speech was full of emotion. No wonder a silver dragon would become friends with a businessman.

Yes, Du Lin thinks so too.

Even for the Alkin family, who are skilled at adapting to changing circumstances, this is also a skill.

Because those who don’t have this ability would have died long ago.
