The Messiah's words made Chen Daolin immediately dispel the romantic illusion of this.
"Wanted" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "The security of this place must be very poor."
"Quite the opposite."
The Messiah's shaking shook his head to deny Chen Daolin's speculation: "The law and order can be said to be one of the best places in the world, and even its crime rate is lower than that of the imperial capital."
Second only to the capital of my tulip family's northwestern territory. ” "How, how could it be" Chen Daolin couldn't figure it out.
A place full of hidden wanted criminals, it will be very safe "It's very simple, the soft ones are afraid of the hard, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the dead."
The Messiah shrugged his shoulders: "There is a dragon and a crouching tiger, everyone who runs there will be careful, if it is too high-profile, I really don't know what legendary masters will be offended."
No one dares to be arrogant, and no one will mess around without permission, so naturally it will be peaceful. ” Speaking of this, she smiled and said: "It's not that there are no fools, a few years ago, there was a group of Jiangyang thieves who did a big case in the Roland Empire and went to take refuge, that group of people thought they were sorry, and they were powerful there, but they disappeared directly in less than three days, and they didn't know how to die in that place, if they were too high-profile and arrogant, they would be tantamount to killing themselves."
And there is a legend that in the wilderness outside the town, a random shovel can be used to dig up the dead body, and it is all accidentally committed after arriving."
Chen Daolin had some cold sweat on his forehead, and asked: "Then such a person always has some rules of his own, someone must be responsible for maintaining this place, if there is really no one to take care of it, it will not be possible to develop to today's situation."
"Not bad."
The Messiah nodded and glanced at Chen Daolin: "You also understand this truth, absolute anarchy will only lead to complete collapse.
It is not under the jurisdiction of the Roland Empire, and it does not look at the face of the orc kingdom, but in the past hundred years, there is an organization that has been maintaining, and it is also this organization that has set various rules for life and trade. ” "It must be a very remarkable organization," Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.
"Yes.
Although the history of this organization is only a short 100 years, in the past 100 years, the development has been quite impressive.
It also has a great reputation on the mainland, and its strength is also very strong.
The Messiah smiled: "This organization was founded a hundred years ago when a group of retired veterans joined forces, and it was called the Veterans Alliance.
Later, they thought that the name was not majestic enough, so they changed the name to the Stealth Society, which means that the warrior retired after retirement.
This organization specializes in recruiting elite veterans who have retired from the military, as it did a hundred years ago and does today.
In the past 100 years, they have blossomed all over the empire, and many big cities have their chapters, and they also run some businesses, and they spend a lot of money every year to support some veterans who are disabled or have a difficult life after retirement due to disability or for various reasons.
Because of this move, they have a great and good reputation on the mainland.
This is what has always been in the control of this stealth society.
These people are very smart, and they don't interfere too much in the daily affairs of the city, and let all kinds of people in it do business or live at will, but if someone dares to break the rules, they will show their muscles.
A hundred years ago, they often resorted to upholding rules, but in recent years, this has been rare. ” Chen Daolin sighed and said: "This stealth society controls such a hub of north-south trade, even if they don't take advantage of it, they don't collect any taxes, but with such an important territory in their hands, their branches in various places will naturally be invincible in doing business." ” "That's exactly what happened."
Messiah smiled: "Now those private chambers of commerce on the continent, this stealth society can be ranked in the top ten. ” "I guess" Chen Daolin looked at the Messiah: "This stealth meeting should have a deep relationship with your family."
He said in a low voice: "This town was occupied by your ancestors back then, and the first batch of retired veterans wanted to be sent by your ancestors."
The Messiah smiled and said, "Well, you have misunderstood the mind of my ancestors.
How could my ancestors covet such a small profit?
It was true that he had fostered this veteran organization in the past, but then it was completely independent and not a vassal of my tulip family.
After a pause, she wrote lightly: "However, these people have always been nostalgic, and they have always been polite to my tulip family, and they are kind." ” This last sentence seems to be plain, but the deep meaning contained in it is enough to make Chen Daolin sigh.
Towards evening, the sun had not yet completely set, the afterglow of the setting sun was still hanging in the sky, and a brilliant light had already appeared on the southern horizon, and in that lamp, there was still a lot of cooking smoke.
As the procession marched southward, the silhouette finally appeared little by little on the road to the south.
As the sky gets darker, the lights in this town become more and more dazzling, and in the wilderness, the surroundings are dark and lonely, but this small piece of sky is full of prosperity.
As we got closer to the town, the road became wider and smoother.
The first thing that made Chen Daolin feel a little different was that this town was really full of vitality.
With the faint sound of laughter, singing and dancing music wafting in the air, the town seems to be experiencing a carnival at night.
Chen Daolin sat on horseback, stretched his neck hard to look, and his neck was sore, and he heard the Messiah next to him laugh in a low voice: "Your Excellency Darling, you can see what the difference is."
"Different" Chen Daolin shook his head and said: "I haven't entered the town, where can I see it" Messiah was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little disappointed, and he frowned: "Didn't you find out that this town is actually not covered by a city wall?"
"Huh" Chen Daolin reacted.
Probably because I come from the real world, in the real world, almost all villages, towns and cities, there are no longer any ancient walls or city defenses.
Walls or city defenses are just products of the existence of the Cold Weapon Age.
In the real world, whether it is a modern metropolis or a small remote village, there is no such ancient thing.
But the problem is that this world is still stuck in the era of feudal cold weapons.
Any village or city must have a city defense or wall, and only by enclosing the village or town in it can the people inside bring a sense of security.
But from a distance, it is just a shadow of a house, and there is no trace of the city defense or walled wall.

In the near future, there is a large road leading unimpeded to the town, and the surroundings of this small city without walls are also extended in all directions, and countless roads of various sizes can enter and exit the town at will.
I have to say that such an existence is indeed very rare for this era in this world.
Chen Daolin thought for a while and said, "Although there are some differences, it's not strange to think about it."
This town is sandwiched between two countries, and no matter which of the two countries really wants to come to find trouble, the strength of a small town will never be able to resist it.
In this case, it makes no difference whether the city wall is repaired or not.
Not building the city wall has many benefits for this. ” "Oh" the Messiah came interested: "What are the benefits?"
Chen Daolin squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "First of all, the residents here have a lot of wanted criminals hiding in them, as you said, and a town without walls will make them feel safe, they will not have a feeling of being behind bars, and it will make them feel that if there is any danger, they can escape from any direction."
And if there is a city wall, many times not only to defend against foreign enemies, but also to use the city wall to trap the people in the city, as long as a few city gates are blocked, you can catch turtles in the urn. ” The Messiah smiled, "Yes, is there anything else?"
"Besides, that's the money."
Chen Daolin said: "Since there is no tax, then there is no fiscal revenue in itself.
If you have a city wall, it will cost a lot of money to repair it every year.
Simply saving this expense can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ” Messiah nodded, "Well, you're right. ” "And" Chen Daolin glanced at the tulip chick: "Third" The "third" Messiah finally showed a hint of surprise: "You also thought of the third" "If you want to hear it, I can say seventh or eighth."
Chen Daolin shamelessly told a lie, and then ignored the Messiah's surprised expression, and said quickly: "From the perspective of the development of a city, in fact, things like the city wall are a shackle that blocks the development of the city.
You think, first of all, from the scale of the city, the city has developed large, and the old city wall must be demolished to expand the urban area, which is a waste of financial and material resources.
There is also a great advantage in logistics, without the city defense, the city's external transportation does not have to be limited to a few city gates, theoretically speaking, every road to the outside world, is the blood vessel of the outside world to a city blood transfusion.
The city with the most developed transportation is not necessarily the most prosperous.
But the bustling city must have developed and smooth transportation, and I now have at least seven or eight major roads leading to the outside world, which are arbitrary in the east, west, north and south directions, which is much more convenient than limiting a few small city gates. ” This theory of urban traffic roads is not uncommon in the real world, and people who care a little bit about current affairs will make fun of it, and even those taxi drivers can say one or two sets.
But the problem is that when this theory came out of Chen Daolin's mouth, the Messiah was really moved She glanced at Chen Daolin deeply, and did not speak, but her heart was full of ups and downs.
You know, when I first researched this, I only thought of two benefits of not having a city wall.
The third article that Chen Daolin said about the city wall is a shackle that restricts the development of the city, this theory, I never thought that I had read some of the ancestors' secret notes later, as if I had mentioned this theory, when I first saw it, I was very shocked, I only felt that the ancestors were really pedantic heavenly beings, so that their descendants only had the share of admiration. cacao This Chen Daolin actually casually said this theory, and said it confidently and calmly, and said it in more detail than the handwriting of the ancestors How could he have understood so much?
It wasn't just the Messiah who was surprised.
In the carriage of the carriage, there was a pair of eyes with surprise, quietly looking at Chen Daolin.
Lan Lan bit her lip, sat in the carriage, looked at the young man who was sitting on the back of the horse and talking, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was a different person.
The convoy slowly entered along the road, and immediately Chen Daolin felt the prosperity here.
I don't know if the leader Ge Yan deliberately chose this road into the city.
The road was wide enough for three carriages to travel side by side, and the stone slabs on the ground were thick and strong.
The buildings on both sides of the road are not very tall, and there seem to be no tall buildings in them, and there are only small buildings of two or three stories on both sides of the street.
However, to Chen Daolin's surprise, the first street he saw when he walked into this place was actually yes "Distinguished guest, come in and sit down."
"Oops, I like the muscles in your arms so much, come in?"
"Brother on horseback, you are so handsome?"
On both sides of the road, the windows of these small buildings were wide open, and the sound of drinking and drinking came from time to time.
And in the doors and windows of the upstairs and downstairs, there are even more women who don't know how many flowers, wearing heavy makeup, shouting and calling to every guard of the tulip caravan who walked in.
These women knew at a glance what their profession was.
What surprised Chen Daolin a little was that in this area, the industry was so developed and so long a street, and as far as the eye could see, there were all buildings and courtyards for this industry, with all kinds of colorful flags and signboards.
The women were all scantily dressed, some of them wore skirts with corseted waists and corsets, but they deliberately exposed most of their white breasts, leaning against the window and laughing.
Some stood downstairs by the door frame, holding the door with one hand, but deliberately lifted the corners of their skirts, revealing their snow-white thighs, and then kissed the men in the convoy.
Some were even more daring, and a girl in the upstairs window pulled out a fragrant underwear directly from her jacket, and threw it directly down the street, landing on the head of a tulip guard, causing her companions to laugh loudly.
That Geyan laughed the loudest, and smiled at the subordinate who got the underwear: "Haha, it seems that I have taken a fancy to you, and when you rest for a while, you can come to her."
The subordinate who was teased by him didn't care, grabbed the underwear in front of him and sniffed it, and stuffed it into his arms.
These men were extremely unrestrained and did not twist at all, and the Messiah did not care about his subordinates when he saw this.
The convoy walked on this fat powder street, and naturally the girls on both sides noticed Chen Daolin on horseback.
Although he seems to be weaker, he has also received a lot of flattery, and there are even more daring women who whistle at him.
What's more, a woman on the second floor whistled at Chen Daolin, and when Chen Daolin looked back, the woman had already directly ripped off her shirt, revealing two huge breasts, which made Chen Daolin almost fall off the horse.
"Young boy, come to me in a while, I will make you forget me for the rest of your life" Seeing Chen Daolin bowing his head and fleeing, the woman suddenly let out a burst of smug and unbridled laughter, and many people around saw it and made fun of it.
But Barossa saw it in her eyes, her face turned red with anger, she clenched her fists hard, and muttered something in her mouth in Elven language.

This long stretch of Fengyue Street was finally finished, Chen Daolin glanced back, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Oh my God, these women are really that, the business here is so good, there must be more than 20 such a street" The Messiah frowned, ignoring the subject.
On the side, there was a tulip guard who said: "What is this, like this kind of Fengyue Street, there are three, if you want to say that the girl is beautiful enough to be a wave, you have to go to Red Street." ” Seeing that walking through this Fengyue Street, the guards of the Tulip family were all distracted, and the Messiah finally couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed heavily, Ge Yan heard it, and immediately scolded loudly: "What do you see, look at the shop early to rest."
After walking through this Fengyue Street and turning an intersection, I saw all kinds of large and small taverns and restaurants on both sides of the street, and there were many shops with various peculiar signs, but I didn't know what kind of business they were running.
There are not many pedestrians on both sides of the road, but you can see that the taverns and restaurants are brightly lit and crowded, and they seem to be full of people.
Chen Daolin was hungry in his stomach, and at this moment he picked up the water bag and was drinking water.
Suddenly, his eyes swept to the end of the street, and he saw a large courtyard gate with a wide entrance, and saw a flag hanging in front of the courtyard gate, shining with golden light, and the words on it were dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and it was impossible to see what was written in the dark.
Looking at the location and momentum of the courtyard, there was also a long row of weapon racks at the door, and dense notices and pictures were posted on the walls on both sides.
Chen Daolin's heart moved, and he asked the Messiah: "That is the stronghold of the invisibility meeting here?"
Messiah glanced at it and smiled slightly: "Where can the stronghold of the Stealth Society be cultivated so publicly."
She looked at Chen Daolin, but said in a low voice: "But this place is also a well-known organization, guess where it is."
"Well, could it be a branch of the Wizards' Guild, I can't guess."
Chen Daolin frowned, picked up the bag and took a sip of water.
"It's not a magician union, this place, speaking of which, but a well-known non-governmental organization on the mainland, which is responsible for accepting some official or non-governmental commissions, and then posting the task for its practitioners to receive the task, what they do is to find the target person according to the task, arrest him, and get a good reward" Messiah looked at Chen Daolin pouring a mouthful of water into his mouth, and then deliberately said leisurely: "This organization is the Bounty Hunters Alliance" burst Chen Daolin squirted out a mouthful of water Bounty, bounty hunter Make no mistake The Bounty Hunters League is open here Open in this place full of fugitives and wanted criminals The Bounty Hunters Alliance, which specializes in catching fugitives and wanted criminals, is open here with wanted fugitives and fugitives Is al-Qaeda headquartered in the Pentagon?
