Medieval Aurora: The Rise of the Dragon

Chapter 79
"The Waterway Docklands is the heart and soul of Marienburg - what a horrible idea to think about what a run-down place it is."

The first stop of every outsider arriving in Fort Marien is basically the waterway wharf area, and some people call it the canal area.The entire city is made up of several small islands, through which the Bruinwater Canal runs.

The canal is one of the few waterways in Marienburg that can accommodate ocean-going vessels.On both sides of the river, which stretches for nearly a mile, it is crowded with all kinds of buildings, warehouses, docks, offices, shops, taverns, cheap hotels, shipyards, apartments and brothels, which can almost meet most of the needs of travelers. , of course the quality and price are quite matched.

"Marienburg Democratic Reform Association."

Li Wenhao doesn't remember that he has seen such a strange organization when he came here two times before. Just now, a girl who claimed to be a staff member of the "Shuidao Wharf District Public Opinion Survey Association" stopped him and asked some strange questions. After the question, I left myself a business card.

On the front of the business card is written the whole process of the democratic meeting, and on the back is written a sentence.

"Everyone has the right to be the master of their country."

He had heard of the word democracy before, and someone once explained the meaning of this word to him in his contacts with those local big businessmen in Marienburg.

The most common interpretation of this term, invented by scholars at Baron Henrik's School of Navigation and Maritime Magic, is "rule by the masses".

The people of Cathay are actually not very able to understand this explanation of mass rule.After all, in their lives, the masses and domination often have nothing to do with each other.In their hometown, people are more willing to believe in the rule of those long-standing dragons than in their own abilities.

And the democratic reform written on this business card is even more rare. He didn't understand what he saw, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Perhaps an organization dedicated to defrauding first-timers?"

The businessman from Xinwu just arrived in Marienburg today after departing from Shangyang.He chose the route to enter the city from the Middenheim road to the east pass gate, so as to ensure that he could settle his caravan first.

After entering the gate, you can see the warehouse area of ​​the Grand Canal through several areas all the way. In the process, you can even see some Nibo people.

After he settled his goods in the warehouse, he did not rest for a moment, but embarked on the itinerary he had set in one go.Long Jun's secret mission was so urgent that the great Cathay merchant didn't dare to delay even a little bit of time.

On the way of doing business, Li Wenhao already had a certain idea in his heart, and he planned to complete his task from two channels.

In the matter of finding someone, apart from the big businessmen and directors with all-hands-on-eyes, those local snakes who live by the canal are the best at it, and I have to try both ways.

After all, in Marienburg, everything can be a business.

The big merchant of Cathay is well-known even in the merchant circles of Marienburg. He traveled across the continent twice to the other side of the world through the road of long teeth, which is a feat that some people can't imagine in their dreams.

Relying on such a reputation, Li Wenhao can first inquire about the mouths of those who are on the bright side, and then decide to release his commission.

It's a pity that the traffic in the Canal District is really a problem that has been criticized. Travelers travel on foot purely because they are forced to do so.

If you choose to take a horse-drawn carriage on the narrow roads in the canal area, you are asking for trouble - some roads and bridges are not even as wide as a carriage, and if you choose to take a boat, you have to mention the unspeakable secret of the Li family up.

He gets seasick, no matter the size of the boat, as long as it is on the water, he can't accept it.

Just as he was walking through the crowds in the street, an interesting scene caught Li Wenhao's attention.

There used to be a street-facing shop called Pink Style Hotel, which was surrounded by many pedestrians. It seemed that someone in the crowd was using a magic speaker to speak something. Following the rhythm of his speech, the onlookers were also constantly speaking. cheer.

Through the discussion of the crowd, the people of Cathay heard vaguely words like democracy.

In the river wharf area, there are few members of any association who are willing to condescend to preach on the roadside by the bank, and this association seems to be particularly different.

What really caught his attention was the side of the crowd, next to the sign that said Marienburg Democratic Reform Association, the little girl who had asked herself a question on the side of the road before was leading a well-dressed knight here A place where people gather.

The Zhendan businessman saw the eye-catching coat of arms at a glance.

"A knight from Bretonnia." After carefully looking at the pattern of the coat of arms, he turned around and patted the arm of the officer standing behind him.

"Old light, look up which family in Bretonnia uses the red lion's coat of arms,"

Zhuge Guang thought for a while, and decisively gave the answer:

"It's the Adehad family from Leonasse."

"The Adehad family, I didn't expect the knights from the Duke's family to be involved in this kind of thing." He took a few steps closer before he could clearly see the resolute and meticulous face.

The difference between those who have stayed in Marienburg for a while and those newcomers is very obvious. Seeing the pure expressions of the knights, Li Wenhao understood when he thought of the nosy comments of these knights.

I'm afraid this knight was dragged out of the young man when he first came to Marienburg,

That was a godsend opportunity.

Among the large and small gray organizations in Marienburg, the most well-informed group is a group that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Not those locals who were born here since they were young and walked through the basement of Marienburg all their lives, nor those gangs from the empire, but a group of Bretonnians who seemed harmless to humans and animals.

These groups of Bretonnian merchants, ex-soldiers, and even knights are the most united in the underworld of Marienburg.Perhaps because of their conservative character, this group of people seems to pay special attention to the connection with their compatriots. Obviously, this has a lot to do with the entire Knight Kingdom's evaluation of the city of Marienburg.

As we all know, the business acumen of the Bretonnians outside has always been to look down on the Nord leaders.

Therefore, the propaganda about the demonization of Marienburg made every Bretonnian clearly know that the first thing they should do when they come here is——

Find a fellow.

"A serious knight may be able to connect me with the Bretonnians." Li Wenhao stared at Lin Qi who had transformed into Harlan, as if he was looking at a key to open the door of the vault.
