Durin's Diary

Chapter 902 First Shock

The next morning, Dulin saw the video recording of his magic crystal that he had knocked over the young Mo family member the night before in the courtyard.

Oh, right, in Changtang, this is called a phonograph.

"Lord Dulin is really amazing." The little candle dragons all said that the mace had a sonic boom and even released a certain amount of sword energy.

"Uh, how did you find this thing?" Dulin asked out of curiosity.

"Because your battle was selected as one of the top ten classic duels of the month!" the children chirped in response.

Dulin's first thought was that someone was targeting the Mo family and had found Dulin's record, clearly trying to sabotage them.

Oh well, there's not much to say anyway, it's just young people having a fight.

Du Lin was still thinking about this when he saw Chief Ping walk over with a jar. He shooed away the little brats, then sat down next to Du Lin and handed the jar to him: "A messenger from the Mo family has arrived, saying that the Mo family patriarch will come to see you tonight."

"Why do you want to see me?" Dulin asked with a smile.

"You almost blew his head off, so he should at least tell you the truth, even though this kid really can't sing."

"No, how come everyone knows he can't sing?" Du Lin laughed.

"Shangjing is neither too big nor too small, and as the Prime Minister of the Empire, Mo Jiahao's eldest grandson's tone-deafness is a well-known problem." Chief Ping said, looking at Du Lin, "No matter where you judge this matter, no one will say you are wrong. He challenged you first, and if he was beaten to death, it was because he was not skilled enough. You don't need to worry about that."

"That's good." Du Lin thought to himself, even if they judge me and say I'm bad, what can they do to me?

"Is there anything else going on?" Dulin asked.

Just then, Dulin and Chief Ping saw a dwarf elf dressed as a messenger running over. He came up to Dulin and took out a letter from a pouch at his waist: "Mr. Dulin, a message from Lady Qi."

"Okay, thank you." Du Lin took the letter and opened it while the messenger was leaving: "Chief Ping, I remember Lady Qi is from the Candle Dragon Pavilion, why didn't she come to find me herself?"

"She was recently transferred to Zhennanguan. She left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you, so I should ask a messenger to let you know," Chief Ping said.

His guess was correct. Du Lin read the letter and found that it was indeed the case. In addition to telling Du Lin to wait for news, Madam Qi explained her whereabouts.

This old lady truly adores her young husband; she even asked Dulin to take extra care of him in her letter.

What need is there for taking care of this old man, Madam Qi? Are you really pursuing this young man because you love him and don't just want to be his mother?

As Dulin grumbled, he watched Chief Ping's assistant run into the courtyard, shouting, "Chief! The military joint meeting! They specifically requested your attendance!"

Chief Ping raised his eyebrows: "Goodness, today's been busy enough. I'll be going now."

After saying that, he got up and left the courtyard with his assistant.

Dulin, who was left behind, looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly had a very bold idea.

Why not go to Zhennanguan? Anyway, waiting every day is boring. In this not-too-big-but-not-too-small place of the capital, we might end up getting into fights over girls. It would be much better to take the girls to Zhennanguan.

I heard the weather there is quite hot, at least you don't need to wear winter clothes.

With this in mind, Dulin returned to his room and asked about his girls.

“No problem.” Melinda was very eager to try: “It would be quite interesting to see the monsters and alien species native to the Eastern Land of Changtang.”

After saying that, she began preparing her weapons and armor. "That's good, it would be nice to go and take a look at the south of Changtang," Lide agreed.

"I heard it's very hot in the south of Changtang," Lina said somewhat reluctantly.

"The South has even better sweet and sour pork," Lan En and Xiang Shu tempted them with food.

Lina, the little female dragon, couldn't even hold out for a minute before being seduced by the delicious food and becoming her own shameful traitor.

Lan En and Xiang Shu didn't object much, since for them, the places Dulin went to were basically safe—Dulin himself was the most dangerous being.

Since that was the case, Dulin had the girls start preparing, and then he made a phone call to Luo Xiangguo.

Curiously, Luo Xiangguo was not in his office today. His assistant said that Luo Xiangguo was currently discussing urgent military matters with the military.

"What's there to discuss?" Dulin thought to himself as he hung up the phone.

But before Dulin could leave, the phone rang again.

Considering that his assistant had just left, Dulin answered the phone: "This is Zhulong Pavilion, this is Dulin, may I ask who you are looking for?"

"We've been looking for you, kid. Come here quickly, we're in trouble and we need your help."

Having said that, Dulin found out where Luo Xiangguo was, then went back to tell the girls that he had something to do, and then opened the portal and went inside.

………………

"You've finally arrived, child." Luo Xiangguo saw Du Lin walk out the door and gestured for Du Lin to follow him.

As Dulin followed the man toward the building, he was very curious as to why Luo Xiangguo had sought him out: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, we need your help. Zhennan Pass is under attack by the Crimson War God's demon army. All the legendary Zhulong are currently on missions, so I recommended you to His Majesty."

“That’s great. I was thinking that it was no fun to compete with young people for girls in the capital every day. I was planning to take my girls to the south for a few days.”

“That’s a battlefield,” Luo Xiangguo said as he walked up the steps.

"Life is a battlefield everywhere," Dulin replied with a smile.

Luo Xiangguo stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Du Lin, and finally nodded with a smile: "You're right."

Since that's the matter, Du Lin followed Luo Xiangguo up to the second floor and into the hall. Luo Xiangguo looked at everyone in the smoke-filled conference room and said, "I've brought the person, and Du Lin is willing to go to Zhennanguan. The problem now is that he needs an identity."

"The legendary Zhulong is eligible to hold the rank of Major General and be appointed as a Grand Commander, but the situation in the South is currently unclear..."

"With Lady Qi here, let her consider the matter carefully. First, send Du Lin over to stabilize the battle situation. The demon army's vanguard has arrived, and time is of the essence," said Prime Minister Luo.

Everyone then looked at the old general, who turned to Dulin and said, "Young man, the Chaos Demon Army in the south of Changtang will be the most terrifying existence you have ever seen. Do you have the confidence and courage?"

"Yes." After Du Lin finished speaking, he reached out and caught a token that the old general threw to him.

The latter nodded: "Go ahead."
