As the spring breeze warmed up, as the day of the state banquet drew nearer, the whole of Magnolia became more and more lively, and all kinds of people began to appear on the streets. The nobles went to the royal capital for a banquet because of the edict of the Grand Duke, and during this time, the carriages with luxurious gold inlays, low-key fragrant wood, and carriages decorated with large weather teeth on the streets were ...... The aristocrats from all over the world showed off their wealth to the fullest.

Walking on the streets of Magnoria, the common nobles who went to Japan are now everywhere, like peacocks opening the screen, each nobleman is doing his best to show his aristocratic demeanor, tall war horses, mighty guards often appear on the streets, and people are now even numb to these nobles that are rarely seen on weekdays.

As the aristocracy entered Magnoria, the merchants of the south and the merchants of the eastern provinces, they smelled business opportunities, and the large number of nobles meant feasting, meaning consumption. These two provinces were very unaffected by the Vitan War, and soon they organized a large number of merchants to enter Magnolia.

Aristocrats, merchants, adventurers and other people of all religions entered Magnolia in large numbers, and during this time, the iron hats on the streets began to increase, and in order to arrange these guards, the patriarch of the Meier family was busy and did not pay too much attention to the dynamics of his son Joborg.

From the west gate of Magnolia to the east, the water of the Mari River flows through the moat and into Magnoria, and after the clear water of this era enters Magnoria, it carries a large number of water merchants to bring economic spring breeze to Magnoria, which is an economic warm wind that heals the wounds of Vitan.

The passage of the Marie River through the city seemed to facilitate transportation, but it also caused a bit of trouble for Magnoria's city defenses, and the ancestors of the Grand Duke Pars family seem to have thought of this. There are no stops on either side of the river along the river to the east, except for a pier in the eastern part of the city.

From the sacred palace of the Grand Duke, walk east through the commercial street known as the "Long Street that Never Sleeps", and follow the Marley River through the wealthy area in the east of the city and Dongcheng Street, and walk to the end of the road, where there is an area full of hustle and bustle both at night and during the day.

The only wharf in Magnolia, the capital of the Violet King, was set up there, and merchants from the easternmost part of Violet came every day with exotic goods, and the spacious wharf area was also transported here with precious materials from the mountains to the south. In this area, the Marie River is a real stream of boats, the lowest of which are small merchant ships large enough to carry dozens of people, and the largest is like a moving castle on the water, with several widened docks, sailors, merchants, and stewards shouting, invisibly driving the economy of the whole city and even the whole country.

Most of the goods from all over the country are hoarded at the docks, and then there are various trucks with different badges to transport the goods. Young men with a little strength carry the goods here, and the warriors who lick the blood with knives maintain order here, and the merchants don't want to see the goods that have been transported with great difficulty smashed into their hands.

On the busy docks, the people are really mixed together, and many of the brawls in the royal capital have come from here, so this is the most important place for the iron hats to inspect.

In such a special period, there are iron hat guards patrolling back and forth on the dock all the time, these guards wearing black satin uniforms and iron hats are not like the guards in some stories, each of them is tall and vigilant, and in the patrol work of the dock, they are like falcons looking for prey.

This is not to blame for the big fuss of the city defense, but this generation is indeed mixed.

Not far from the wharf, in order to facilitate the relaxation of those sailors who have perennial water transportation, the most here is the tavern and various entertainment venues, and you can often see some big men with five big and three thick characters in and out of it, these men who are running around for transportation, are not like the era of peace, the long-distance distance of the other world is not tourism, full of dangers, especially water transportation, whether it is a fierce water monster, or a wandering bandit, it is easy to lose their lives.

Men in these high-risk professions are naturally willing to spend money when they arrive in Magnoria, and sometimes the hot-tempered men in the tavern often get into fights.

Originally, these didn't involve the low-level fights of those big people, and the garrison didn't bother to deal with them, and the worst thing was that sometimes these fights would even alarm the big guys.

Because, a few more streets from the pier, it is a special area.

The Academy District of the Magic Tower!

The terrifying tower that shimmered with magical light was Magnoria's anchor, and in order to make the most of it, the wise Archduke had built a university town in the area around the tower.

Pioneering education and sending a large number of talents to the principality, this university town was once the largest college city among all the countries in the northwest region, and in its heyday, the elites who came out of these colleges made the name of violet spread throughout the northwest, and under the leadership of the academy elite, violet seemed to be a powerful country in the northwest.

However, the pioneer generation is always wise, and it was the best of times for a country, and it was also the worst of times. As the major nobles gradually took shape, the high-level resources of the principality have been distributed, and this sacred school that sends fresh blood to the principality has become a good place for the children of the major nobles to gild.

Suppressing commoners and cultivating aristocrats, this former most dazzling university town in the northwest has gradually changed its taste. In the north of Violet, in the royal capital of Vitan, a larger, more extensive academy city has sprung up, and in the poor countryside of the north, Vitan has quietly developed into the overlord of the northwest, and the slightest appearance of this overlord makes the entire northwest tremble.

The sacred university town and the mixed dock area are only a few blocks away, which makes these guards have to worry about the safety of these young masters and young ladies.

Just like the sunshine of justice represented by the iron hat of the guard, there will always be shadows and grays in the long history of the docklands.

The docklands, in a tavern in a run-down alley.

In this chaotic dock area, those nameless and dark alleys are the most terrifying and chaotic places for the decent people in the royal capital, and the hooligans and villains in the dock area gather here.

Unlike the serious areas of the spacious docks, these nameless alleys are muddy, narrow old roads with potholes, and there are always one or two unlucky people in the stinky ditches on either side, fools who have drunk too much in the tavern and been ransacked by some local thugs.

Sean navigated the chaotic district, crossed the dirt path, and stopped in front of a tavern with dirty paint and mottled stains. This dilapidated tavern is lined with potted plants that should be modeled after large families, but unfortunately no one has taken care of the withered branches.

Walk into this tavern and open the tattered door, and you will see a flashing door with the name of the tavern "Knife and Beard" hanging diagonally on the door.

Sean didn't stop, he casually pushed open the door inside, and what he saw was a large tavern, in front of the tavern was an open space, with tables and chairs on it, and empty wooden barrels were randomly stacked on both sides, which should be used to hold wine. In the clearing, some big men with meaty faces shouted and drank freely, these big men were very stout, usually not dock workers, or local gray area figures, and at first glance they were not good people.

The men were talking and laughing and drinking cheap ale, and the tavern was dimly lit with orange light, and everything seemed so terrible.

Sean's destination wasn't the outermost tavern, it was just a bunch of coolies soaking cheap ale to make a living, and through the open field, there was a passage with flickering lights on both sides.

Walking towards this passage, it is the real tavern, there is the gold cave, the gray area of Magnolia here, which has existed here for so many years, and it is estimated that the owner of this place has reached some unknown agreement with the security forces.

In order to maintain the existing order, those iron hats will not go crazy to attack these black shops.

In this underground tavern, an ordinary glass of wine may be a fine wine brought from the east, or maybe it is a precious ingredient from the south.

After Sean walked down, it was an underground tavern that could accommodate hundreds of people, with wine cabinets on all sides, and a dance floor in the middle, on which a group of scantily clad and fancy women were writhing wildly, and a group of men below were laughing wantonly, and occasionally some bold men shouted excitedly, and threw two coins on a whim.

Seeing the men tossing the coins, these dancing girls writhed even more wildly, their long hair fluttered wantonly, their youthful carcasses made the men below tremble and go crazy, and the scarlet red lips and seductive eyeshadow made these rude men have an irrepressible impulse.

Sean pursed his lips, looking at the group of men who were about to get an erection, he didn't look at it much, anyway, no matter how bold the heroes here were, they didn't dare to rush up in public to do something, Sean still remembered the last impulsive guy feeding the fish under the Marley River, of course, after these dancers walked off the dance floor, they did anything at will.

Behind the wine cabinet in the tavern, a big man with a beard was looking at the people in the tavern with a smile, gently rubbing a crystal goblet in his hand, and at the same time, the cigar from the north in his mouth was faintly spitting out smoke, making this huge man look like a wanted terrorist bandit.

This man is the owner of the "Knife and Beard" tavern, bearded.

The bearded man came to Magnolia at some point, and with his cruel and terrible skills, he soon had a tavern here, and although he now behaved like a tavernkeeper, some of the old fellows here remember that the bearded man was a true thug when he came here.

I don't know what his ways are, there are women and spirits in the tavern over the years, and many strange things can be obtained for you as long as you have money, and correspondingly, many people who have hot things in their hands are inconvenient to sell, and bearded people do not refuse.

Over the years, the bearded man has attracted a group of people to crawl around in the underground world of the dock, and now there are a number of bigwigs in the dock area, even if it is a member of the garrison, they have to give face to this thug who is full of meat and flesh, like a butcher, otherwise, this rough guy, he instigated other thugs, and the entire dock area will be chaotic for several days.

"Uncle Beard, where is that guest?" Sean walked straight to the bearded man.

Seeing Sean's arrival, the maids who were originally teasing some men behind other wine cabinets, some women with bold personalities directly pasted Sean, a picture of teasing Sean.

"Let's go, let's go away!" Shaun boy, that guest is not ordinary, you better not deceive him, otherwise it will be a little difficult for the uncle to protect you," he took a deep puff of his cigar, the heavy smell of smoke filled the air, and the bearded man drove away all the maids who gathered around, and whispered to Sean.

"How can I dare to treat your distinguished guest as a fat sheep, uncle!" Sean said with a smile on his face.

The bearded burly figure of more than two meters is full of oppression, and in front of him, Sean is also one meter eight tall, the two of them look like two black bears, sitting in front of the counter, Sean's dark skin hides strong strength.

The bearded man patted Sean, and the force of the big palm was not small, but Sean looked indifferent, and the two walked towards the dark room behind the wine cabinet with their shoulders hooked.

Walking through the dark corridor, Sean looked at the tobacco piled up randomly on both sides of the corridor, and the well-informed Sean actually didn't know these things.

"Hehe, these are tobacco! Good things from the west, you can't take a sip!" The bearded man caught a glimpse of Sean's expression and explained with some smugness.

It is these days that these tobaccos have been obtained, and the stout men outside have died of these tobacco, and the pleasure of swallowing clouds and spitting fog makes these men happy to pay as much as liquor.

Through this passage, pushing open a stone door, the bearded man led Sean into the room filled with warm yellow light, the room was not large, but everything was in it, and several magic lamps that emitted bright light illuminated the whole room.

Resting his legs on the table very comfortably, Wang Xiaotian was very comfortable lying on the big chair made of unknown animal skins in the room, and George stood behind him expressionlessly.

Comfortably eating a grape transported from the south, these out-of-season grapes made Wang Xiaotian's mouth full of strange fragrance, shrunk in the animal skin chair, Wang Xiaotian looked at a book in his hand with relish.

"Distinguished guest, I have brought what you want. The bearded man looked at Wang Xiaotian with the brightest smile on his face, but although the bearded man tried to smile naturally, the hideous face and the terrifying figure really couldn't give people a friendly feeling.

Hearing the bearded man's words, Wang Xiaotian stopped reading and naturally looked at Sean on the bearded side, because Wang Xiaotian knew that if he didn't have a beard for what he wanted, it would only be on this Sean's body.
