Durin's Diary

Chapter 1052 Passing through Yangzhou

The news came back quickly. After sorting through the information for half a day, Madam Lin and other high-ranking members of the Three Saints Society came to three conclusions.

First, it's not that people in remote areas will forget Dulin's identity, but rather that almost everyone without abilities will forget Dulin.

In other words, even mortals in the Great Woodland have forgotten the existence of Durin, let alone those in the Northern Kingdoms who have allied with Sidney.

Second, those who reach a higher level of understanding are less likely to forget Dulin.

This can be seen from the fact that the legendary lord, far away on Elf Island, still remembers who Dulin is.

Third, as long as one has frequent contact with Dulin, one will not forget Dulin's existence.

This can be seen from the military academy established by Dulin. There are not many people with special abilities in the academy, but there are many ordinary people, but they all remember Dulin's existence.

“I think we should differentiate based on the degree of transformation. Young Master Dulin hasn’t completely transformed yet, so many mortals who know him well will still remember him. But if one day he really becomes an anonymous person, I don’t think the conclusion will be as optimistic as it is now,” Uryula said. “I don’t think educating young people now will have any effect. If the young master is determined to become an anonymous person, I don’t think anyone can stop him.”

“At first I wanted his girls to help him out, but now, I heard that even the weakest one has already surpassed half a step into legend. They certainly won’t forget Dulin.” The old lady of the Idar family said, her smile turning bitter. “Why would young master Dulin want to remain an unknown person? This is too bitter.”

“It’s better than becoming a puppet of the clergy.” Madam Lin said, looking at the report in her hand, “Young Master must know, so it’s right that he told us not to rush.”

“Yes, after all, no matter how anxious we are, we can’t change anything. At least Young Master Dulin has cleared all obstacles for the future of this land.” Ulyura said, expressing his and Madam Lin’s thoughts.

"Why should we stay in the Everburnt Nest, while you two went to Changtang?" The elf was somewhat displeased.

"Madam Lin, on the other hand, has some lingering attachments to Changtang. As for me, I still have many years left to live. If Madam Lin comes with me, and she gets old, I'll be the one supporting the Eternal Flame Nest in the East. At that time, I'll need your help." Ulyura then pointed to the elf: "You still have many years left to live. My suggestion is that you help Madam Idal. Then, only the two of us immortal beings will still remember Young Master Dulin. I'll be in the East, and you'll be in Changtang. Do you see any problems with that?"

The elf looked at everyone present and, seeing that they were all silent, could only sigh in the end: "Alright, but are the two of you really capable?"

"Dulin's wives are all here. Among them, Lady Anta can live for at least two hundred years. I heard there are also two Zhulong princesses. If nothing unexpected happens, they will live longer than you and me. What are you worried about?"

The elf nodded vigorously: "Then I'm relieved, but I'm still unhappy. Why should becoming an anonymous person mean being forgotten by all living beings?"

“Speaking of this, I know a little about the inside story.” At this moment, one of Uryura’s grandchildren raised his hand—+ because he was a Planeswalker, so he was probably the one who traveled the most around among them.

“Speak,” Madam Lin agreed.

“I have been to a foreign city called Imprint City and met many nameless people.”

This news is not new. After all, everyone knows that there is more than one Nameless One. There are also records in the Western Continent indicating that the Primordial Creator appeared together with two Nameless Ones.

So Mrs. Lin gestured for him to continue.

“I heard people in Sigil talk about the rules for becoming a god for the Nameless. They said that to become a Nameless, one must have an extremely strong obsession, an obsession that can even transcend the control of the master.”

“I’ve heard of this view,” the elf said. “There are similar stories in the history of the elves.”

"Then why was the nameless one forgotten by all living beings when he became a god?" someone asked.

“Because this is the price for the nameless to become gods. Their obsessions are multifaceted. For example, the original creator, according to analysis, has many divine responsibilities, including protection. In order to avoid being bound by these divine responsibilities, they can only transcend mortals.” Madam Lin nodded: “I see. Have you ever heard why we can remember Dulin?”

“I don’t know, but everyone says that only anonymous donors can know these secrets because the anonymous donors prepared a training method for the church, a method that I cannot understand.”

"So that means it's a secret. Well then, let's not be reckless." Madam Lin said, signaling the meeting to adjourn.

Once most of the people had left, Madam Lin looked at Uryura and Old Madam Idar.

The latter hesitated for a moment: "Mrs. Lin, is it alright for you and Uryula to just go like this?"

“No problem, Mrs. Hidal. Fate has once again made us wander because our young master Durin is preparing to fight for a better tomorrow. I hope we can all do our duty.”

“No problem, Mrs. Lin.”

After saying this, Lady Hidal left.

The remaining Uryura sighed: "It seems everyone wants to go back to Changtang."

“If our young master can continue to perform miracles in front of people, he will definitely have more opportunities in the East than in the West. So the reason they want to stop you from going there is because you will have more opportunities to see the young master again.” Madam Lin sighed as she said this, “Everyone wants to see Young Master Du Lin again, and I will not blame them for that.”

"Then we can talk about it when the time comes."

"You can tell me when the time comes, Uryula. My time is running out." After saying that, Madam Lin left.

Uljura, who remained behind, looked at the empty office and finally sighed inwardly.

You see, perhaps one day in the future, Young Master Dulin will also have an office filled with these old bones, with Madam Lin and the others arriving early, while he... will be left alone to guard the two eternally burning nests.

You see, although there is still one elf, the elf will eventually outlive the vampire.

What a sad fact, Uryura.

Thinking of this, he went out the door and called over his descendant, the Traveling Buddhist monk.

"Grandpa, is there something you need from me?"

"Go to the City of Imprints and ask around to find out what's really going on."

"Grandpa, I understand."

As she watched her grandson leave, Uryula felt a pang of heartache in silence.

Do you think we old folks will really get to see Young Master Dulin manifest himself again?
