Durin's Diary

Chapter 1004 Dark Cloud Sea

After hearing the story of how Ju had lost so much money gambling, Reed reached out and patted her little head: "How did you come to me?"

"Because you're the weakest one in my memory." Daju sat on a small chair, looking melancholy.

Reed looked at Dulin and said, "Are you just going to keep losing like this all the way here? If she loses here with me, who will she go to?"

"We should ask Lina, after all, she's the dumbest of you sisters," Dulin said, slumped in his recliner.

“You’re going a bit too far. Lina is such a kind and honest girl.” Saying this, Lide laughed at herself. After laughing enough, she frowned and twisted Dulin’s arm: “You’re really bad. You’ve corrupted my Dao heart again.”

"You're not a Taoist priest, so where did you get your Taoist heart from?" Du Lin asked with a wry smile.

“The Taoist priest said that as long as you have the will, everyone can find their own path.” Saying this, Lide glanced at the time on her pocket watch: “No, I have to go teach the children. I’ll rest this afternoon. Big Orange can come and play with me then.”

“Okay, let’s go see Lina now.” Big Orange still seemed unwilling to admit defeat.

Alright then, Dulin said goodbye to Lid and then took Daju to the snack street outside the Candle Dragon Pavilion, where he saw Lina enjoying a spicy tofu rice bowl.

Daju hugged Dulin's arm again, and when she and Lina made eye contact, she gave a very proud snort.

Lina was also taken aback for a moment, then put down the bowl: "Hey, Dulin, is this the zombie pet you created?"

Big Orange couldn't hold back any longer; it rammed its head into Dulin's chest and began to shriek.

After finally getting the big orange cat to stop screaming, Dulin led her and Lina to sit on the stone steps outside the gate of the Candle Dragon Pavilion.

"Excuse me, I thought you were a zombie created by the Taoist priests in the stories of the Tang Dynasty. After all, your skin looks extremely white, without any color in your skin, and you don't have a heartbeat. I thought you weren't human. You must be a zombie created by Du Lin using his skills, since Du Lin knows necromancy."

Lina showed off her food while explaining somewhat awkwardly.

Big Orange covered his head with his hands and looked at Dulin: "How could you make that connection!"

"See, my Lina is quite smart," Dulin exclaimed sincerely.

“Absolutely, I’ve always been the smartest little female dragon in Dulin…” Lina paused for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly: “No, I should say the smartest little female dragon in Dulin besides Lan En and Xiang Shu.”

The big orange one fell completely silent, seemingly extremely shocked that Dulin's little female dragon could actually count the numbers correctly.

Dulin thought to himself, "This isn't my fault."

………………

With Lina in this state, Da Ju has lost faith in finding other girls. Not to mention Xiang Shu and Lan En, the remaining girls in Du Lin are all incredibly clever, and there's no way she could fool them.

Take Tanya for example. She's such a smart and clever girl, Da Ju never even considered how to fool her.

So she eventually went back to find Reed—after all, she was going to have Reed examined anyway, which Dulin considered a great thing. Besides, Dulin also had things to do—since Changtang had decided to offer the four islands as Dulin's reward, Dulin relayed this news to his grandfather, Old Ish, and the Circle of Truth.

Let them discuss it first.

Du Lin was still on vacation, so at noon, he accepted Sun Youcai's invitation to come to his house as a special guest to participate in the monthly grand prix as an award presenter.

Du Lin's luck is now common knowledge, and no one would be foolish enough to challenge him to a card game. However, Sun Youcai, as an acquaintance of Du Lin, felt that although no one dared to play against him, inviting such a great hero as a guest was a very good choice.

Dulin was also bored, and since this fat guy wanted Dulin to do some advertising, Dulin didn't mind showing his face.

………………

When Chen Xiaohu heard that Du Lin had accepted Sun Youcai's invitation, he could only sigh that Du Lin truly had a leisurely and refined taste.

He looked at his rabbit-headed chief secretary—since the kid awakened, his talent has been visibly increasing. Recently, the Northern Evil God has been killed by Dulin. In Chen Xiaohu's opinion, in another year or two, he should be able to go deep into the Northern Territory with the hunting team to hunt those Chaos brats.

However, he still obediently makes rabbit heads for him.

"Director Chen, do you really think Dulin will become the lord of the four islands?" the chief secretary asked.

This is a question that very few people know about now. Chen Xiaohu nodded: "That's for sure. Mr. Du Lin has made such a great contribution. If we don't reward you, what will people think?"

This matter no longer needs further discussion. His Majesty and all the senior officials have reached a consensus, and even Mr. Du Lin is very satisfied, in Chen Xiaohu's opinion.

"But why did you think of arranging it on the four islands?" The chief secretary, Rabbit Head, was still a little puzzled. While sorting through the documents, he asked curiously, "I remember that the four islands are full of city ruins with puppet bones. It would take quite a few people to clean up the materials from them."

"At least it's better than freezing in the north or eating sand in the Western Regions. As for the south, that's our homeland that must be recovered. As for the southwestern islands, they have abundant resources and must be directly administered. We can only give them to the four islands." Chen Xiaohu sighed as he said this. However, Chang Tang would definitely not treat Mr. Du Lin unfairly. Since he was granted the four islands, Chang Tang would definitely give him a lot of supplies. If he could bring back the Dwarf Demon Clan from the Western Continent in one go, Chang Tang would definitely give him even more money and food.

Look, among the eight prime ministers, there are two short, demonic prime ministers who have devoted themselves to the Tang Dynasty.

Half of the staff in the workshop were dwarf demons, who made a huge contribution to the development of weaponry in Changtang.

As for the Candle Dragon Pavilion, there are even more dwarf demons among the Candle Dragons. In addition, if Mr. Dulin can bring back the dwarf demon clan from the Western Continent and bring fresh blood to the dwarf demons of Changtang, Changtang will definitely be the first to change the name of the dwarf demons to grassland elves.

The race that has contributed to Changtang should indeed have a different name. What's with all this talk about demons? After all, in many people's eyes, humans are nothing more than tailless monkey demons.

“Hmm, now that you mention it, I understand a bit more. But I didn’t expect Mr. Dulin to agree. He’s so easy to talk to.” The Rabbit Head Secretary sighed, “Mr. Dulin is only a few years older than me, but he’s really too powerful. He accomplished things that even my legend couldn’t do. I wish I were as powerful as him.”

Rabbit Head's secretary was somewhat moved by the differences between people.

Chen Xiaohu felt that the young man was too naive; he didn't understand how much Mr. Dulin had endured for all of this.

Mr. Dulin probably wouldn't let a young man like him know all this.
