Durin's Diary

Chapter 97 There is no one like me in the world

At the same time, Du Lin jumped off the tram that had stopped at the station and walked into the alley next to the Past Life Bar.

Whistling briskly, an iron thread came out of Du Lin's pocket and went into the lock of the back door. When Du Lin stood in front of the door, the door opened automatically.

Looking at the empty rest area, Du Lin smiled.

Everyone has work to do, and it seems that business is really as the guy who provided the intelligence said, and the Utari family is doing very well.

I hope I didn't disturb your little smoking habit in the lounge area, Higgins.

The life detection technique was deployed as Du Lin entered. As he expected, most of the people in the bar were on the left side - that was the bar's business area.

A smaller life was walking in the corridor in front of Dulin. Judging from its size, it seemed to be Higgins. Dulin had confirmed his family members and found that he was the only child. He was said to be an adopted son, but in Dulin's opinion, this kid and his father were definitely biological father and son.

If others can't recognize it, can't the grassland elves recognize it?

But since everyone said so, Du Lin just accepted him as his adopted son.

After finding a cleaner sofa to sit on, Du Lin waited until Higgins pushed open the door and jumped in like a deer. He first walked on tiptoe like a girl in the form of ballet, then turned four and a half circles, and finally raised the letter in his hand and kissed it several times.

Du Lin couldn't help but clap his hands.

Nice dance, Higgins. You're wasting your life being a crime boss.

Higgins's whole body froze. He turned his head to look at Durin and let out an awkward scream.

………………

Standing in front of the window, Veranda looked at the palace in the distance. She had heard from her elders about the differences between the human world and the world of grassland elves.

The former is stubborn and smooth, the latter is smooth and stubborn. Humans and grassland elves seem to be twins, but they are so different. The human king is the master of a country, while the grassland elves have established the Circle of Truth. These little guys who believe in the original creator elect generations of wise men to rule the world together.

Vilanda had no intention of judging who was better, because both humans and grassland elves had lifespans that were too short for the dragon clan. They did not have enough lifespan and energy to verify whether all of their things were more suitable for this land.

Even her favorite Ish, who was almost halfway through his life, only put on the thorn ring belonging to the sage this year.

This made Vilanda very sad. She didn't know if she could accept a world without Yi Xu when he disappeared.

Some elders said that dragons must always learn to accept reality. The dragon race, with its long lifespan, should not be dominated by the feelings and thoughts of other races.

Some elders said that the love between dragons and other races is always too short-lived, and the death of a loved one will break one party's heart, so the love between dragons and other races should not exist.

Suddenly, a wave appeared in front of Veranda.

Ah, why is Higgins screaming.

So subconsciously, Veranda activated the life detection spell and found that there was another life reaction at the location where Higgins was.

Who's coming, the assassin?
With such an exclamation, Vilanda opened the portal.

………………

After listening to Weilanda's story, Old Ish looked at Du Lin and asked, "What are you doing here this time?"

"I sent him a letter before, asking him to help me buy some materials. I came here today to ask if he had everything ready."

After hearing Du Lin's explanation, Old Ish could only smile bitterly and shook his head, then looked at Higgins who was slumped on the sofa: "Have you prepared everything?"

When Higgins heard Old Ish say this, he nodded as a matter of course: "I have prepared everything, but to be honest, they are just some small things. I don't know why Mr. Du Lin asked me to buy these."

Du Lin smiled and said, "I'm busy now."

Old Ish patted Du Lin's head gently, then looked at the things and the list of materials: "What are these things used for?" Although Old Ish was over a hundred years old, he was still a curious life after all.

Du Lin thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "I am preparing to ferment a kind of mold."

"Mold, dear little Durin, this is not a good thing. Only necromancers would play with it." Veranda's eyes widened, and then she was stunned again: "No, if you want to prepare mold, these things will not produce any dangerous mold."

"Yeah, I think so too." Old Ish looked at the bread, oranges, and some other miscellaneous ingredients in the bag: "I don't even see any poisonous mushrooms. If these things are harmful, what else can we eat?"

Du Lin smiled and said, "What if I said I was going to make a mold that could heal wounds, ulcers, and infections in the human body?"

"Ah, that's more like it..." At this point, Old Ish's eyes widened: "My child, what are you talking about?"

Du Lin repeated it and gave a non-existent example, which was that he observed that the mold on rotten oranges had an unexpected anti-inflammatory effect on the wounds of small animals.

"Is it really effective? Then you can give it a try, my little Dulin. Speaking of this, I can recommend a good child to you. This child is the smartest child in our Silver Dragon Nest and is proficient in pharmacology." At this moment, Mrs. Veranda said that the person she recommended was rare in the world and that he would definitely be able to help Dulin complete the entire experimental process.

Du Lin was too embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed.

It's okay, the young silver dragon cub, if well trained, may be a help.

"That's great! If the experiment succeeds, Doolin, my good boy, you will benefit the world. So, I'll also invest some money. If the experiment succeeds, I'll invest again based on the results. The technology to prepare this beneficial mold must be in our own hands." Old Ish stood up and said, "I'm halfway through negotiations with your father, and now I have to go back and finish things. Remember to go home early. Also, Copenhagen might be a bit restless soon. Take care of yourselves, boys."

As soon as Yi Xu left, Mrs. Wilda also prepared to leave. She said that the little genius would come to see Du Lin within three months at the latest.

After she left, Higgins touched his forehead and said, "Du Lin, does this thing you are talking about really exist? Why do I feel like I am dreaming?"

"Yes, I felt like I was dreaming when I discovered the effect." Du Lin sighed when he said this.

Higgins was silent for a moment, then finally sighed. "Betty said in the letter that she kept her vows. Now that I look at you, I realize that she kept more than just vows. Compared to you, I have no chance of winning, but she still chose me..."

"Then live well and don't let her down. When I left Lublin, I saw someone disappoint the girl who loved him." After saying this, Du Lin also stood up - sitting in a small chair in a daze is not Du Lin's style. Since everything is fine, let's go home early.

"By the way, I heard that you live in the Fan Linen neighborhood. Do you know the details of the previous residents of your building?" Higgins looked at Du Lin.

"Fabian? I know him. We're both from Lublin, and he's an old friend of mine." At this point, Du Lin became curious: "What do you think of him?"

"A poor wretch, tricked into becoming lame by Northernism. He'll never know until his death that it was his companions who betrayed him. Fabien believed in his doctrine until his death, while his companions treated it all as a business." Higgins sighed. "Tommy Irvine was a member of Fabien's group. To protect them, Fabien died of a hunger strike in prison. He never knew until his death that it was his teammate Tommy Irvine who betrayed them. Besides Fabien, there were several others. His entire group of seven perished because of Tommy Irvine's betrayal."

Du Lin nodded to show that he understood.

"Don't you want to say something?" Higgins was a little curious. He seemed to think that Du Lin was a child who had just come from his hometown and had never seen the dangers of the world.

"What I want to say is that Mr. Tommy Irvine has already answered for me with the lives of his family. He and his family fell in a pool of blood right in front of me, and I don't think I have anything to say." Du Lin said with a smile, then stood at the door and waved to Higgins, who had a wry smile on his face. "I'll come to you next time if I have any problems, Higgins."

Pushing open the door, Du Lin felt a little relieved - at this point, Du Lin felt that Tommy Irvine's death was a good thing, it was just a pity for his wife and children, but this land would not welcome a life that wanted to mess around and not have to pay back.

So Fabien died, his comrades died, and Tommy Irwin and his family died too.

Innocent?
In this business of getting people killed, no one is innocent.

No one will pity you if you are a ruthless traitor.

The idealist and the realist died for each other's beliefs, and their deaths were worthy. Only Tomimi, the poor girl, was unable to wait for her lover to come back.

But who else would pity her except someone like Du Lin who has a vision that transcends the times?

This damn era, this damn land...

…Fuck you.
