Durin's Diary

Chapter 822 Lamp

When Du Lin stepped on the hill again, he found a small tombstone standing at the place where Jack was buried. It was not there before. It should have been erected to commemorate him when the tombstone was moved.

Professor Jason said that Jack's parents were buried here, but it was a long time ago and he didn't tell the specific location. Du Lin could only ask Eleven to scan.

In the end, Eleven found three locations.

The first place was where a family of five, including adults and children, was buried. Judging from the location of the burials, the whole family was in good order. It was very likely that they had fled all the way east to here, and no one in the family could move another step. In the past, the craziest escaped slaves were winter escapes, which basically meant they could not survive. The family took advantage of the winter when the nobles were less likely to hunt them down and fled eastward to the eastern territory.

But in winter, if the weather suddenly turns cold one day, spending the night in the wild is no different from seeking death. When Du Lin was young, he even saw a family freeze to death just a dozen kilometers away from the eastern territory.

When local patrol officers encounter such situations, they will contact the Temple of the Twin Mothers in the Eastern Territory and ask them to prepare a cemetery for the deceased.

The Eastern Territory was also willing to accept such dead people. They would be cremated and then buried in batches and areas. Many such families were buried in the Lublin Cemetery.

We've come this far, even if it's just to make their dream come true.

After listening to Du Lin's explanation, Eleven sighed.

What kind of despair would make this family die in this place for such an illusory way of survival?

Du Lin used magic to make a tombstone and placed it in front of the family's grave.

The second place is where a lonely person is buried.

Not Jack. Professor Jason's Kane family has already taken Jack's body away and buried it with Professor Jason.

The Kane family also knew that Jack's parents were in this area, but they didn't have the specific location, and they were afraid that if they dug in the wrong place, it would be a serious sin.

But Eleven had a way. In his scan, this lonely man was lying on his back, with several broken ribs on his chest and a cut on his lumbar vertebrae. There was also a broken sword beside him. No one knew what era it was from, but he was definitely a person who died in battle.

Whoever he is, he's a warrior.

Du Lin thought about it and also erected a monument for him. The shape of the monument was the rice-shaped monument used by the original creator to bury unknown dead people. Du Lin specially left a line of words in the middle of the monument.

An unknown warrior died here.

At this time, snow began to fall from the gray sky. Du Lin stood in front of the monument and said: "Life is about finding in loss, and losing in finding."

Until the life called human can no longer move forward, can no longer see everything in front of it clearly, and forgets what it is looking for along the way.

Daju took up Du Lin's topic.

Then eleven.

In the end, life becomes a page in history, a link in a story, accompanied by wild grass, embraced by the earth, gazing at the sunrise and the starry sky, savoring the spring rain and autumn frost. Until history also forgets that such an interesting soul ever existed, until books decay, until civilization withers.

"But no matter how time changes, it cannot change the fact that life once existed."

Du Lin finally let out a sigh, and then he came to the last mark.

The skeletons that Eleven scanned were those of a man and a woman. He hugged her with the last sense of responsibility of a husband.

·These should be the two. Judging from their pelvises, they are a man and a woman. Eleven scanned for several kilometers and found no other people anywhere else except here.

Durin raised his hand, and the entire earth was lifted up by the power of the spell, revealing the skeleton underneath.

Big Orange began collecting data, but soon discovered a problem. The woman was pregnant when she died. Eleven, reconstructed her abdominal area. Do you see the small piece of tissue that remained?

·I found it on the scan. I thought it was the remains of the mother's tissue... It seems that Durin's judgment was correct. A certain ancient god has been using this method of substitution to interfere with the progress of civilization. Continuous wars and endless disputes, such a history is perfect for an orphan like this to join in and fish in troubled waters.

Du Lin sighed in silence - now that he had the answer, he covered the soil again and placed a tombstone on top of the grave.

“May the years remember these lives that died in order to live.”

After saying that, Dulin stretched out his hand, and the unyielding weeds wove themselves into a wreath. Dulin took it and placed it on top of the tombstone.

I think the mastermind behind this would never have imagined that this child named Jack by Professor Jason would eventually follow Professor Jason and become a bricklayer who repaired the world. Together with his adoptive father, he eventually became one of the many revolutionaries and died on the night before the revolution succeeded.

Daju knew Jack's identity, and his sigh made Du Lin deeply agree.

Yes, fate never shows mercy to anyone, but there will always be some people who will sacrifice their lives without hesitation for the future of civilization and the dignity of life.

Although Jack was a cyborg, he eventually became a different person, and Du Lin finally chose to remain silent.

Is silence golden? I can understand. This young man has lived a different life. He is a good person.

Eleven had no objection to Du Lin's choice.

"But we must find the people who did this and stop them at all costs." Du Lin felt that this was really too much. These created lives were born without parents. Their existence meant that they would eventually be manipulated by the old gods one day and become their pawns. It was too pitiful.

I will help you.

Daju said so.

Even though I’m not a medical AI, my core tells me that it’s absolutely not allowed to treat humans like this.

This is Eleven's point of view.

"Let's go."

Du Lin shook off the snow on his body and walked into the portal.

………………

"You came back quickly enough, what should I say."

Classes at the Mage Tower had already ended at this moment, and Anta was standing in the corridor watching the students walk towards the academy gate.

"I went to confirm a problem I had in mind. It's a big problem, and I don't know whether I should tell you."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Anta leaned close to Dulin and said, "Tell me, even if the world is destroyed, shouldn't we be together?"

Having said that, Du Lin sighed and told Anta what he had discovered.

Anta was silent for a long time. "Your secret is really beyond my imagination. But don't worry. After living with you for so many years, I can accept this problem. But it's still outrageous. How could the old gods be so evil?"

"It's indeed outrageous, right? But it's okay, we just don't have to talk about it. I'll ask Director Sun about these things when his rational incarnation comes to me." Du Lin comforted her here, stretched out his hand, and caught his sister who had just come over from the ceiling.
