Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

After handling the emergency at the medical station and fixing a poor soul's missing nose, Durin, along with the young female dragon Lina, set fire to the Green-skinned Orcs' camps around the fortress.


The Green-skinned Orcs had never seen such a relentless tactic and were driven out of their camps by Durin's fire in this icy and snowy weather, likely giving them quite the struggle.


After setting the fire, Durin returned to the fortress—having come all this way, he hadn't planned on going back today.


So, while the other Silver Dragons started to return, Durin concealed his aura and sneaked into a small room in the fortress's High Tower with Lina.


This room was originally a storeroom. Durin burned the miscellaneous items, cleaned it up with a Spell Formula, and then pulled out a bed and a small bookshelf from his space.


Of course, there were also several big bags of snacks.


The little female dragon, Lina, cheered and hugged the bags of snacks to show off.
