“Star tears?”
“Nothing, a sin-atonement substance. I heard that applying it can absolve one’s sins, but I’ve never used it.”
“Besides, I’m too lazy to bring this kind of thing. As for atonement…, if you don’t take action, who would know that you have atonement?”
Yu Jin stood up from the ground and rubbed his hands:
“How about you take action now?”
“Move? But I can’t move at all, and it won’t be long before my consciousness returns to the blurry state it was before.”
Erinace was still as decadent as ever, she held her head in her hands, unwilling to look at anything.
But not being able to see something doesn’t mean not being able to hear anything.
“Roar!!!”
A dragon roar was heard in the painting. This huge and familiar sound was like a paintbrush, which made the vagueness in Erinace’s mind a little clearer.
“Du Lin…”
A hint of doubt appeared in Erinace’s eyes, and then the image in his mind became clearer and clearer. It was a giant black dragon.
“Dulin? Dulin!”
She jumped up in surprise, but the joy in her eyes soon turned into confusion.
The dragon in front of her seemed different from what she remembered.
The hideous and dark body became pure white, while the pure and innocent eyes on the face were unexpectedly tired and aged.
If Durin before had a poisonous body but pure eyes, then now he is the opposite.
“Hmm…it seems better than I thought.” Ember circled the white dragon several times and nodded with satisfaction.
“The transparent prism will refract the colorful light, Brother Ember…your alchemy…”
The words that came out of Du Lin’s mouth left Yu Jin completely confused. He felt that this boy had grown up, but a little too fast.
“What are you talking about? Alchemy…”
Yu Jin took out the mint and the stamens of the flame flower, and then rubbed them vigorously in his hands.
An empty bottle was placed under his feet, and all the juice from rubbing was dripped into it.
“Look, flame essential oil! If you really want to talk, this is all I know about alchemy!” Yu Jin played with the bottle in his hand, then drank it.
“Burp~, no smell.”
Yu Jin collected the empty bottle.
“I remember this shouldn’t be called Fiery Essential Oil? And the raw materials should be frogs and Fiery Flower stamens, right?”
“So now you know my alchemy level?”
“…”
Durin and Erinus were silent.
“Du Lin, quickly teach your sister some tips, and then we can get started!”
Seeing that no one was talking, Yu Jin could no longer bear it, so he jumped up and patted Durin on the knee, asking him to give some advice to Erinus.
“Why do you know that Erinace is my sister, brother?”
“Because she didn’t cry when I saw her for the first time, but she cried so hard when she saw me.”
“Ok.”
Du Lin shrank his head in disappointment. Didn’t he expect that this was the person who betrayed his generation?
“Du Lin…, your body…”
“My body… might be chalky… right?”
Du Lin nodded, then shook his head. He spread his wings behind him, and the flawless dragon wings made any light that passed through become pure.
“Chalk…white…”
Erinus looked at Durin in surprise as he sat up straight. Chalk, if she remembered correctly, it seemed that only one of her mother’s works had reached this level.
“Maybe not? I don’t know what I am now.”
As Du Lin spoke, his body began to change. The body made of white light began to collapse, and countless points of light sprinkled across the sky.
These spots of light fluttered in the air, and when they landed on the ground, they had already taken the shape of a person.
And the petite Du Lin was now surrounded by the crowd.
“If my mother were here, maybe I could ask her.”
“Chalk, is that so?”

“Du Lin, is this your sister?”
“Sister Yil, could you please stop rubbing my head when you ask me questions?”
“Du Lin, this is…”
“Brother Darken, I’m back. This is Fontaine. It’s a bit far to reply to Mondstadt.”
……
Du Lin was very busy surrounded by the crowd. If it was just consciousness, anyone could talk to him, but once he had a form, people would not be satisfied with just talking.
At this time, simple words cannot fully express people’s emotions, so people will start to make physical advances towards Du Lin.
“Wow! It’s too crowded! Let’s talk later!” Du Lin in the crowd couldn’t bear it anymore, so he started shouting.
“All right!”
“It seems that this has caused a lot of trouble for little Doolin.”
“Don’t you see Du Lin’s sister is here? It’s better not to disturb their reunion.”
The voices of the people buzzed, but in the end they all turned into rising points of light. The white dragon that had disappeared before now reappeared before Erinath’s eyes.
And Erinace just stared blankly. She had no idea what was going on with Durin.
“Sister Erinace, what do you think of me now?”
Durin asked, but all he got in return was Erinus’s dull shake of his head.
“Haha, I guess my mother wouldn’t believe it when she sees me like this.” Du Lin smiled when he saw this. This degree of change was unimaginable even in a dream, let alone it actually happened.
Erinace’s situation was also expected, so he continued to explain:
“Sister, look into my eyes.”
Durin said this and lowered his head. The white dragon head was getting closer and closer, and Erinus was able to see more details.
There are no scales or lines on the white dragon’s head. The whole dragon seems to have been born from light and jade, as a whole.
But what concerns people the most is Bai Long’s weathered eyes that are out of tune with his body.
A pair of vertical pupils in the dragon’s eyes, but in them there is no less vicissitudes and fatigue than a human. When Erin saw it, he felt his heart skip a beat. What on earth did Durin go through?
Just as Erinace was worried about his brother, the huge dragon’s eyes blinked.
The dragon’s blinking movement is different from that of humans. Humans open and close their upper and lower eyelids, while dragons cover their eye membranes once.
The transparent eye mask moistened the tired and weathered eyes, but what was used was not tears, but the tenacity in the dragon’s heart.
Erinus suddenly felt that Durin had become taller, taller in every sense of the word.
It was as if she was the ignorant little guy in front of him. Erinas did not feel any joy in her brother’s growth. She could not imagine how much Durin had paid for all this.
Perhaps those tired and weathered eyes had already told her.
“Sister, are you sad?” Durin saw tears in Erin’s eyes and asked worriedly.
Erinace nodded, and then she saw the white dragon claws reaching out and gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Don’t be sad. I’m still me. Nothing less, nothing more. It’s just… they’ve slightly changed their positions.”
“Changed position?”
“Yes.”
Durin nodded, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about how to explain the changes in himself to Erinus.
“I exchanged the most flawless thing in myself for everyone’s pain, and then, I became like this.”
Du Lin stretched his body. He didn’t expect that his emotions would be so strong.
After the pure white that was buried deep in his heart flowed out from his chest, it was able to forge such a huge body.
“Are you okay?” Erinaceus asked worriedly.
“Very good. A flawless body and soul, and an indomitable will. In the stories I’ve heard, this is called growth.”
Durin smiled at Erinath. He was no longer the ignorant little dragon.
At least, he won’t cry easily from now on.
When the resentment that clung to him penetrated deep into his heart, Du Lin realized how insignificant his so-called “pain” was compared to the people who died under his claws and teeth.
So from then on, Du Lin would not cry easily. He would just hug his body and silently savor the suffering caused by himself.
Fortunately, resentment is not impossible to dissipate. When those dark emotions were replaced by pure white light, the pain Du Lin felt became less and less.
However, the pain still left indelible marks on his body, and his pair of dragon eyes marked with scars were the best proof.
By now, the pain that lingered in Durin’s heart had long been negligible. This was also the reason why he came out of the ember’s body today.
Everyone’s body is full enough to support them to start a new journey.
Next, Du Lin will follow the road he once destroyed and let the new people go.
But what will happen after that? Doubt appeared in Dulin’s eyes. The future after flying over Mondstadt was foggy and he couldn’t see clearly, so Dulin was a little scared.
Perhaps he himself did not realize that there was still some pure emotion left in his heart.
