Medieval Aurora: The Rise of the Dragon

Chapter 83
From the name of the Ke Wen family, Lin Qi thought of the records about the city's government.

"There is a big difference in politics between Marienburg and other regions. The local power is held by the two major organizations of the council and the parliament, at least on the surface, and the current parliament has been reduced to responding to suggestions, and The council is in the hands of the top ten families.

Council refers to the Executive Council of the Town Planning Commission.Meetings are held once a week, where any major decisions affecting Westland affairs are made.

Any citizen of Marienburg is welcome to participate in councils held at the New Palace in the Palace Quarter, and the resulting debates and minutes are also a matter of public inspection.Every decision is made by ballot, and if the votes are equal, it will be passed to the council representatives to vote.

Members of this meeting included the high priests of Mannan, Verena, Thalia, and Hendrick, the dean of Baron Henryk's Academy, and the heads of the ten wealthiest merchants.

The image of the council to the public wants to show the image of how the most elite citizens of Marienburg are fighting for the best interests of all the people of Westerland in a world full of dangers.

Like a parliament already ineffective, this choreographed scenario hides the realities of power.While the seats held by clergy and universities are permanent, the ten seats held by businessmen are nominally open to any member of the House of Commons.

However, the reality is that since the time of Magnus the Pious, these seats have been reserved in the name of merchants, and the merchants who hold these seats are called the ten families. "

——"Marienburg in the Sun"

"The Kewen family and the Van Schelter family? Oh, okay." As if realizing that the expedition knight in front of him really didn't know anything about the situation in this city, Devis Odinga decided to explain first Take a look at the relationship between these two families and the Democratic Association.

"First of all, the Van Schelter family is one of the top ten Marienburg families. You must understand this concept, right?" He looked over inquiringly, and Lin Qi nodded silently.

"And the Ke Wen family was once vassalized under the banner of the richest family in Marienburg, and possibly the richest Van der Cooper family in the world, with the red shield engraved with fists, gold coins and a quill pen.

After the old Ke Wen became seriously ill, this family ushered in a vigorous development opportunity. Their opponents all died suddenly or voluntarily withdrew from the competition due to various reasons. There are rumors that they seem to be planning to replace the top ten families. one of the seats.

In short, one of these two families is an ally of the Van der Cooper family, and the other was their vassal. Then they jointly invested in the establishment of the Marienburg Democratic Reform Association. It can also be said that they are the controllers behind the Democratic Association. "

The Democracy Association was founded by the Cowen family and the Van Schelter family. Lin Qi realized that there seemed to be a lot of coincidences he faced. Of course, it is also possible that the people who keep causing trouble are always the same group of people.

"Originally, such an organization controlled by the rich has nothing to do with us, and the gang of thugs they support has never conflicted with us, and the goals and slogans of the Democratic Association seem to have no reason to target us.

But—the methods of those lunatics are really illogical.

In order to change the appearance of the city, they obtained permission from the sub-committee of the Canal District and forcibly demolished the shed areas, and some people were even buried under the ruins of the houses in their sleep.

As for helping residents out of poverty?It refers to the fact that they lead the lucky ones randomly selected from the street to rob the outsiders.Under the care of a group of soldiers, the wealth of those laborers was legally looted.

And Marienburg, which made Marienburg people again, was the most terrifying program, and they created a distorted concept. "

Speaking of this, the knight-errant's gaze was numb and wandering.

"The method they used for this was to secretly massacre all the citizens who did not belong to Marienburg. Before they acted, all the leaders of outsider organizations in the river wharf area had received invitations to a banquet. No one dared to disobey Fan in the canal area. Schert's will, but after the banquet, no one returned to their home.

The chiefs all disappeared after that night, but the assassination continued, and many people disappeared quietly into the night.We are leaderless and helpless.

The most frightening thing is that all our appeals and letters to the outside world were lost. "

"What does this mean?" Nowhere?This is no joke adjective.

"Fort Marien's external communication has been interrupted. The ships in the port have been unable to enter and exit since last month, and all the messages sent to the outside world have not received a reply."

If so, why is the city still so peaceful?Hearing this, Lin Qi thought that if the communication with the outside world was interrupted, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the whole society, but the people here acted as if they were not aware of it.

Unless everyone's thinking has been twisted, and the plotters I know happen to be able to do just that.

The conspiracy rituals of the Lord of Changes can plant a simple idea in the subconscious mind of a person.

For example: unwilling to leave the city.

Lin Qi finally came to his senses. He discovered a huge loophole that the Knight Ranger in front of him didn't even realize, or it could be said that his subconscious blocked such an option.

If someone was secretly slaughtering Bretonnians, why didn't anyone choose to leave here.

"If you discover a principle of Tzeentch's Ritual, then you only need a simple guide to break its influence. The operation is like smashing a mirror." He knew what he should do.

"If that's the case, why don't you leave Marienburg?"

Devis Odinga, who was immersed in emotions and couldn't extricate himself, suddenly trembled when he heard this sentence, and then he murmured to himself:

"Yeah, why don't we get out of here."

Looking at the dazed knight-errant in front of him, Lin Qi knew that the mirror had been broken.

"I will help you find your father, and now I order you as the president of the Mutual Aid Society, now you must organize everyone to evacuate here, do you understand?"

"Yes!" The affirmative answer he had hoped for from the expeditionary knight brought the light back to De Weiss' eyes. He stood up with a bang, and performed the knight's etiquette to Lin Qi.

After solving this matter, I have to face the enemies I should face.He knew that he had to destroy the plans of the big demons, otherwise the city would be doomed.The communication is cut off, and the current situation is more serious than I imagined.

Lin Qi walked out of the box and suddenly remembered something after seeing Li Wenhao.

"You seem to have something to do with these Bretonnians?"

"Yes, I want to entrust them to help me find someone."

"Can you tell me what kind of person you are?"

The Zhendan businessman shrugged, "A person like me, we call him Mr. Wei."

The more he listened, the more something went wrong. This was the second time Lin Qi was dumbfounded today, and surprises and surprises followed one after another.

"I can tell you where the person you mentioned is, but before that, you have to do me a favor."

"kindness?"
