Medieval Aurora: The Rise of the Dragon

Chapter 84 Retrograde
In just a few days, more and more gossips appeared in every corner of the block. Passers-by looked worried, and whispered with anxiety. In addition to some weird rumors inside Fort Marien, some recently arrived in this city. People in the city also brought some news from the outside world.

"I heard that someone saw a flying horse on the edge of the Drakowald Forest."

"Pegasi stolen from Bretonnia?"

"No, they say that kind of horse is very intelligent, and its appearance is different from any breed we know. Witnesses even think that what they saw is a kind of dragon that looks like a horse."

"Oh, I'm afraid the poor man was frightened. Maybe it's something new created by the beastmen. After all, they hide in the forest every day and have nothing else to do except interact with each other."

The two drinkers looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

After listening to the movement around him for a while, Lin Qi slowly stood up and left the Pelican Hotel.

The activities of the Democratic Party are about to begin.Today, as Labor Day, members of the Waterway Wharf area decided to hold a grand street parade.From the heavily guarded complexes in the east of the Canal District to the gates in the west of the riverbank, they plan to deliver the extravaganza across the region.

The order on the street seems to be collapsing. The black berets who used to maintain law and order have disappeared completely. Volunteers from the Democratic Association are taking over various blocks and becoming the actual managers of these residents.

Many people have chosen to stay behind closed doors, watching the movement of the outside world through the gaps in the curtains.Because democracy will use rough means to get rich, those who are chosen and suffer are all caught in a kind of bewildered fear.

Now only those fishermen and workers who have no food stock and have to work for their own survival will go to their posts as usual, but today, as a labor day, more people choose to join this activity than the previous two days. in an activity.

All kinds of slogans and slogans have sprung up all over the streets and alleys like mushrooms after rain, and it seems that there is a will to mobilize the operation of the Marienburg machine in a unified way.

To make matters worse, the influence of the Democratic Association seems to have spread to other regions. According to the inquiry of Aurora businessman Li Wenhao, a large number of fans of similar remarks have also appeared in administrative regions and exchanges.

The people who concocted all this formulated different slogans for different groups of people, and their purpose was to shroud the entire Fort Marien under the white terror brought by the blue-bottomed albatross.

After several days of observation, Lin Qi has already seen clearly.The existence of the Democracy Association is only for one purpose. They don't care about the benefits, the process, or the means. The only goal is to expand their influence and attract more and more people to believe in their ideas.

Even if these believers have to submit to power simply because of fear and oppression, they will not hesitate.

A pure tool, an executive body, so what is their real purpose of attracting more and more people?Lin Qi set his sights on the buildings in the east that were guarded by fences and private soldiers.

There is the heart of the River Docks area, where the Van Schelter family resides.

When Lin Qi walked into the sunlight from the alley, he suddenly realized that the parade had already started.

People wore their work clothes, and on their right arm they wore the blue-and-white albatross armband, the emblem of the Democratic Church.

There were even blue banners, or green banners with a boar's head on a barrel - that was the coat of arms of the Van Schelter family, even if the big merchants were not nobles (the self-proclaimed titles did not get Recognition of the Empire), but still enjoy everything that the nobles have, and possibly more.

Lin Qi saw a small group of people going upstream. They were a group of young and beautiful boys and girls. They were wearing modified navy uniforms. Those well-designed decorations and narrow belts further highlighted their figure.

They were heading in the same direction as their destination, and Long Zi followed closely behind them, walking in the opposite direction from the crowd.

Some of the residents along the way looked at this unusual retrograde with disgusted eyes.

These resentments did not come from the influence of the knight's unique direction of travel on pedestrians, but from the well-fitting Bretonnian knight uniform on him.

Under the relentless brainwashing of the Democracy Council, according to the current atmosphere of the river wharf area, the expensive clothing and the Bretonnians can be said to have filled the passers-by's negative perception of this person.

Marienburg has many gathering areas of other regions and even other races, but only Bretonnians' gathering places are set up at the river docks. Therefore, now that the xenophobic sentiment in the whole city is getting higher and higher, the weak Batoni The demihuman was the first to become a target, a target to be used to vent.

After all, according to the logic of the Democratic Association, there is only one solution to the problem they bring—that is, to transfer the contradiction.

poverty?That must be rich people using means to steal your wealth.unemployment?Because the outsiders crowded the living space of the locals.

Obviously, the residents who were parading around him have already recognized this idea. They have been successfully changed, and there must be a key factor at work. Lin Qixin touched his neckline with a feeling, secretly He has an intuition that his actions will definitely gain something.

Because some residents did not choose to go out and there were no vendors selling along the street, even during the parade, the streets on both sides of the canal seemed much wider than usual.

With Lin Qi consciously speeding up his pace, he arrived at the gate of the independent kingdom surrounded by walls one step ahead of the group of young people who were undertaking a special task.

The towering walls are even painted with white waterproof paint. This protective setting also serves as a dike. You must know that there are few areas in the Marienburg Islands that do not face flooding.

The sea private army and some sensitive hounds are patrolling the periphery. Wessel van Schelt has developed its current scale based on fishing. Maritime trade has always been the core pillar of the family, and it is precisely because of this that they Has maintained a large-scale fleet and naval private army.

However, he didn't intend to find any defensive loopholes to slip in. This time, Lin Qi had a shortcut that conformed to the rules of the game.

He ignored the soldiers who were vigilant and suspicious because of his actions, walked directly to the gate, drew his long sword and leaned it on the ground.

"The eldest son of the Duke of Adehad, Harlan Adehad, the Knight of Lyonis Expedition, is here."

Don't die with bare hands because the refraction of the sun left a dazzling light on the ground, and a phantom of the Holy Grail faintly appeared on Lin Qi's neckline.

　There should be one more in the middle of the night.
