So, the next one is tomorrow morning~

Finally, please recommend!!!]

The Messiah's words made Chen Daolin dispel the romantic illusion of this "free port".

"Wanted criminal..." Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "The public security in this place must be very poor, right?"

"The opposite." The Messiah shook her head and denied Chen Daolin's speculation: "The security of the Freeport can be said to be one of the best places in the world, and its crime rate is even lower than that of the imperial capital. It is second only to the capital of the northwestern territory of my Tulip Family."

"What, why?" Chen Daolin couldn't figure it out.

In a place where wanted criminals are hidden everywhere, will the public security be very good?

"It's very simple. The soft ones are afraid of hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of being arrogant, and the arrogant ones are afraid of being desperate." The Messiah shrugged: "There are dragons and tigers in the free port. Everyone who runs there will be careful. If it is too high-profile, I really don't know what kind of masters in the legend will offend. No one dares to be arrogant, and no one will do anything without authorization, so it will naturally be peaceful."

Speaking of this, she smiled and said, "It's not without fools. A few years ago, a group of thieves who had done big cases in the Roland Empire ran to Freeport for refuge. The group thought they were arrogant and acted as a blessing there. As a result, they disappeared in less than three days. They didn't know how to die... In that place, if they were too high-profile and arrogant, they would be like seeking death. And... there is a legend that in the wilderness outside the town of Freeport, they could just take a shovel down and dig out the dead bodies. They were all accidentally committed crimes after they arrived at Freeport!"

"……………” Chen Daolin asked in a cold sweat on his forehead, "Then... such a free port always has its own rules, right? Someone must be responsible for maintaining this place. If no one really cares about it, it will not be possible to develop to the current situation."

"No," Messiah nodded and looked at Chen Daolin: "You understand this truth too. Absolute anarchy will only lead to complete collapse. Freeport is not under the jurisdiction of the Roland Empire, nor does it look at the face of the Orc Kingdom. However, over the past century, there has been an organization that has maintained the situation in Freeport, and it is also this organization that has set various rules for living and trading in Freeport."

"I guess it's a very amazing organization, right?" Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.

"Yes. Although this organization has only been born for a short period of 100 years, it has developed quite well over the past 100 years. It is also very famous and has strong strength." Messiah smiled and said, "This organization was founded by the retired veterans when the Freeport was first established a hundred years ago. It was called the "Veter Alliance" back then. Later, they thought the name was not majestic enough, so they changed it to the "Invisible Society", which means that the soldiers will retire after retirement. This organization specifically absorbs some elite veterans who retired from the army. This was the case a hundred years ago, and now it is the same. With a hundred years of development, they have been everywhere in the empire.

Blooming, many big cities have their branches and run some businesses. They spend a lot of money every year to support some veterans who have been living in difficulties due to disability or various reasons after retirement. Because of this action, they have a great reputation on the mainland. This free port has always been controlled by this invisible leader. These people are very smart and do not interfere with the daily affairs of the free port, allowing all kinds of people in the free port to do business or live at will. However, if someone dares to break the rules, they will show their muscles. A hundred years ago, they often took action to maintain the rules of the free port, but in recent years, this situation has been very rare."

Chen Daolin sighed and said, "This invisible association controls a hub for trade between the north and the south, such as Freeport. Even if they do not gain benefits in Freeport and do not impose any taxes in Freeport, they will naturally do everything they can to do business in branches in various places."

"It's exactly this." Messiah smiled and said, "Now, the invisible will rank among the top ten in the civil commerce groups on the mainland."

"I guess..." Chen Daolin looked at the Messiah: "This invisibility meeting should have a deep relationship with your family." He whispered: "This town was occupied by your ancestors back then, and the first batch of retired veterans were also sent by your ancestors..."

The Messiah smiled slightly and said, "That's what you misunderstood the mind of my ancestors. How could my ancestors be greedy for the interests of such a small free port? He did indeed start to support this veteran organization in the past, but later this organization was completely independent, not a vassal of my Tulips." After a pause, she said lightly: "However, these people have always been nostalgic, and finally they have been polite to my Tulips. They are kind."

This last sentence seems plain, but the profound meaning contained in it is enough to make Chen Daolin sigh.

...

As the evening approached, the sun in the sky had not yet set completely, and the afterglow of the sunset was still hanging in the horizon. A bright light appeared on the horizon in the south, and among the lights, there were still a lot of smoke curling up.

As the team went south, the outline of the Freeport finally appeared little by little on the road to the south.

As the sky got darker, the bright lights in the town became more and more dazzling. In the wilderness, it was pitch black and lonely around it, but this small sky was full of prosperity.

As the town is closer, the road becomes wider and flatter.

First of all, what made Chen Daolin feel a little unique is that this free port town is indeed full of vitality. With the faint laughter, singing and music coming from the air, the town seemed to be experiencing a carnival on this night.

Chen Daolin sat on the horse's back and stretched his neck hard to look at it. His neck was sore. Then he heard the Messiah beside him laughing and said, "Your Excellency Darling, can you see what's the difference?"

"Different?" Chen Daolin shook his head and said, "Where can you tell if you haven't entered the town?"

The Messiah was stunned, with a little disappointed look on her face and frowned, "Didn't you notice that this town is not blocked by the city wall?"

“…Huh?”

Chen Daolin reacted.

Perhaps it is because I come from the real world. In the real world, almost all villages and cities no longer have any ancient walls or city defenses. Walls or city defenses are just products of the existence of the Cold Weapon Age. And in the real world, whether it is modern metropolis or remote villages, this kind of ancient thing will no longer appear.

But the problem is that this world is still in the feudal cold weapons era.

Any village or city has city defenses or walls. Only by surrounding the village and town can you bring a sense of security to the people inside.

But this "free port"... from a distance, it is a shady house, and indeed there is no trace of city defense or village walls.

When we get closer, a road leads to the town without any obstacles. The surroundings of this small town without walls are also well-connected, with countless roads of different sizes and sizes, you can enter and exit the town at will.

It has to be said that such existence is indeed very strange for this world and era.

Chen Daolin thought for a while and said, "Although it is a little different, it's not surprising to think about it. This town is sandwiched between the two countries. No matter which country really wants to come to cause trouble, the strength of a mere small town will never be able to withstand it. Since this is the case, it is no different whether the city wall is built or not. If it doesn't build a city wall... it has many benefits for this free port."

"Oh?" The Messiah became interested: "What are the benefits?"

Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes and thought: "First of all, as you said, the residents here have many wanted criminals hidden in it. A town without a city wall will make them feel safe and will not feel like they are imprisoned, and will make them feel that once there is any danger, they can escape from any direction. And if there is a city wall... in many cases, not only can they defend against foreign enemies, but foreign enemies can also use the city wall to trap people in the city. As long as they block a few city gates, they can catch turtles in the jar."

The Messiah smiled: "No, is there any?"

"Is there any more? It's the funding." Chen Daolin said: "Since there is no tax, the free port itself has no fiscal revenue. If there is a city wall, it will cost a lot of money to repair it every year. It's better to save this expense, which can be considered a killing two birds with one stone."

The Messiah nodded: "Well, what you said is indeed good."

"And!" Chen Daolin glanced at the Tulip girl: "Third..."

"Third?" The Messiah finally showed a hint of surprise: "You also thought of the third one?"

"If you want to hear, I can say the seventh and eighth." Chen Daolin said a shameless lie, and then ignored the unexpected expression of the Messiah and said quickly: "From the development of a city, in fact, things like city walls are actually a shackle that blocks the development of the city. You think, first of all, from the scale of the city, when the city develops, you have to demolish the old city walls and expand the urban area. This repeatedly wastes financial and material resources. Also... it also has great advantages in logistics.

With urban defense, the city's external transportation does not need to be limited to several city gates. Theoretically, every road leading to the outside world is a blood vessel for blood transfusions from the outside world to a city. Although the most developed city with the most developed transportation is not necessarily the most prosperous city. But the prosperous city must have developed and smooth traffic! I now estimate that there are at least seven or eight major roads leading to the outside world, and they are free to travel anywhere from east, south and north, which is much more convenient than limiting a few small city gates."

This theory of urban transportation and roads is not uncommon in the real world. People who care a little bit about current affairs will make a few jokes - even those taxi drivers can say one or two sets.

But the problem is that this theory was spoken by Chen Daolin, but the Messiah was really moved!

She looked at Chen Daolin deeply, without saying anything, but her heart was filled with ups and downs.

You know, when I first studied this free port, I only thought of two benefits for the lack of a city wall. The third theory that Chen Daolin mentioned about the city wall is a shackle that restricts urban development. I never thought of this theory at that time... I later read some secret notes of ancestors, as if I mentioned this theory. When I first saw it, I was very shocked and felt that my ancestors were indeed scholars, and that my descendants could only rely on them.

cocoa……

Chen Daolin actually casually explained this theory! And he said it confidently and calmly, and he said it more in detail than the handwriting of his ancestors!

He...how did he know so much?!

It was not just the Messiah who was surprised.

In the carriage, there were even a pair of eyes with surprise, looking at Chen Daolin quietly.

Lan Lan bit her lips and sat in the carriage. Looking at the young man sitting on the horse's back talking, a hint of strangeness suddenly appeared in his heart - he seemed to have changed.

The convoy slowly entered the Freeport along the road, and Chen Daolin immediately felt the prosperity here.

I don’t know if the team leader Ge Yan deliberately chose this road to the city.

The road is very wide, enough for three carriages to walk side by side, and the stone slabs on the ground are thick and strong. The buildings on both sides of the road are not tall - there seems to be no tall buildings in this Freeport, and there are only two or three-story small buildings on both sides of the street.

However, what surprised Chen Daolin was that the first street he saw when he walked into this free port was...yes...

...

"Dear guest, come in and sit down~~"

"Oh, I like the muscles on your arms very much! Come in~~"

"Brother riding a horse, you are so handsome~~~"

On both sides of the road, the windows of these small buildings were wide open, and the sound of flowers and wine came from time to time.

And in the doors and windows upstairs, there are even more women with colorful makeup, wearing heavy makeup and shouting at every guard of the Tulips caravan entering the Freeport.

These women...you can tell what profession they are doing at a glance.

What surprised Chen Daolin a little was that in this free port, this industry is so developed... Such a long street, looking around, there are buildings and yards that are built in this industry, with various colorful flags and signs hanging.

These women were wearing exposed clothes, some were wearing trousers, but they deliberately exposed most of their white breasts, leaning against the window and smiling.

Some stood next to the door frame downstairs, holding the door with one hand, but deliberately lifted the corners of the skirt, revealing their snow-white thighs, and then blew kisses at the men in the convoy.

Some of them were even more courageous. In the window upstairs, a girl pulled out fragrant underwear from her top and threw it directly into the street. She was falling on the head of a Tulip guard, causing laughter from her companions around her.

However, Na Geyan laughed the loudest, and smiled at the subordinate who had obtained the underwear: "Haha! It seems that he has fallen in love with you. When you are resting for a while, come and find her!"

The subordinate who was teased by him didn't care at all. He grabbed the underwear in front of him and sniffed it, then stuffed it into his arms.

These men were extremely unrestrained and did not hesitate at all, and the Messiah didn't care about his subordinates when he saw this.

When the convoy was walking on this beautiful street, naturally, girls on both sides noticed Chen Daolin riding a horse.

Although he seemed a little weak, he also received a lot of charming eyes, and even a bold woman whistled at him.

What's more, a woman on the second floor whistled at Chen Daolin. When Chen Daolin looked back, the woman had already pulled her top open, revealing her two huge breasts, which made Chen Daolin almost fall from the horse.

"Young boy, come and find me later. I will make you never forget me for the rest of your life!!"

Seeing Chen Daolin fleeing in panic, the woman immediately let out a smug and unrestrained laughter. Many prostitutes around him saw it and made fun of them.

But Barossa saw it, her face turned red with anger. She clenched her fists hard, muttering something in her mouth in a fairy language.

The long Fengyue Street was finally finished. Chen Daolin looked back and sighed with a long sigh: "Oh my God... these women are really... that, is the business here so good? There must be more than twenty stores in such a street..."

Messiah frowned and ignored the topic.

There was a Tulips guard on the side and said, "What's this? Freeport is like a Fengyue Street, and there are three more. If you want to say that the girl is beautiful and erotic, you have to go to Red Street."

Seeing that passing through this Fengyue Street, the guards of the Tulip family were all distracted. The Messiah finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed heavily. When Ge Yan heard it, he immediately shouted loudly: "What are you looking at! Find a shop early to rest!"

After walking through this Fengyue Street and turning an intersection, I saw various big and small taverns and restaurants on both sides of the street, as well as many shops with various unique signs, but I don’t know what business it is 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 surging, making them look very popular.

Chen Dao was already hungry, so he picked up the water bag and was drinking water. Suddenly, his eyes swept to the end of the street and saw a wide courtyard door at the entrance. He saw a flag hanging in front of the courtyard door, shining golden light, and the words on it were flying and flying. He couldn't see clearly what was written in the dark.
To be continued...
