049 Tilda's Action
dusk.
Tallis Parish, Herring Harbor.
"Mr. Gu, I've been waiting for a long time."
Bota trotted all the way over and made an appointment with Han Dongwen to meet outside the port after finishing today's loading and unloading work. However, there were a lot of things to do and he had to finish them before rushing back to the appointment.
Bota felt very sorry for making the other party wait for so long, so even though he was very tired, he still ran out with his tired legs as fast as possible.
Han Dongwen smiled: "It's okay, I was busy with a lot of things while I was waiting for you."
This is the truth. What happened to the No. 1 machine during the day? It was just hanging up and leaving it there while having a small meeting with Grand Duke Tilda and Prince Gao.
Bota scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that the other party was being polite: "Anyway, I'm sorry for you. You have to buy medicine today, right? Let's leave now."
He turned out the hem of his shirt that he had tucked into his trousers while working, patted it flat, put down his sleeves, and scratched his hair hastily. He looked a little less hardworking. He raised his head and said, "I want to ask for your explanation."
Do the necessary medicinal materials come from Simeng?"
Han Dongwen nodded. The two prescriptions given by Chi Hanqing indeed contained Simeng medicinal materials.
"Then we have to go to Simeng Street."
Bota patted his chest: "That place turned out to be Talis 14th Street. Because it was the closest to the commercial office, people from Simeng in West Asia set up stalls and bakeries there. There were more and more people there, and everyone called it Simeng Street.
"
"That should have what we want."
Han Dongwen nodded. Just as Bota was about to lead him over, Han Dongwen raised his hand and stopped a carriage.
"Time is more important."
As he said this, he pulled Bo into the carriage and said to the coachman: "Simeng Street."
"Si Meng Street, boss."
The coachman repeated his destination, then slapped the old horse on the butt with the rope in his hand, and the carriage hummed forward.
"You...you spent money, sir."
Botta carefully looked at the not luxurious decoration in the carriage. It had been a long time since he had taken a taxi.
"If I could have come out of the port earlier today, you wouldn't have to spend this money..."
Han Dongwen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to care.
Even if a carriage circled the entire Talis parish, it only cost two or three silver coins. The silver coins of West Asia are almost the same as those of Simeng. The only difference is that the Simeng coins have a dragon pattern cast on one side, while those of West Asia
The coins are engraved with the cross and shield and sword emblems.
The reason for this almost one-to-one exchange and almost uniform style is naturally because the original currencies of the two countries have been discontinued. In other words, the coins they currently use have been reissued in line with the Taka.
His net worth is now barely around 30 gold dollars. Although the reward for catching the traitor in West Asia is 50 gold dollars, there are still many taxes to pay, and Li Zai's fine must be paid in advance.
Wages of workers renovating Yihong Building.
"Even the descendants of God Ayu cannot prevent this kind of disguised colonization..."
"What did you say, sir?"
Bota heard Han Dongwen lamenting to himself, but Han Dongwen only smiled: "Nothing, how long until we get there?"
"The carriage should be very fast..."
After listening to his words, Bota immediately leaned to the left and looked out through the glass of the carriage: "This is... how can we get to Minai District?"
He sat upright suddenly: "Sir, you have been cheated, look at me."
Before Han Dongwen could react, Bota had already opened the carriage door with a bang, grabbed the handle on the outside with one hand, leaned almost half of his body out of the moving carriage, and shouted to the coachman: "Hey! Old man
Thing! Why don’t you go from Quanshui Street and go to the cathedral? Do you dare to take a detour? "
Although his boyish voice didn't sound so threatening, it was obvious that Bota had seen through the driver's trick of taking a detour. "You...sit back!"
The coachman's face turned red and he was spitting from his mouth: "Today the Grand Duke visited the cathedral and participated in prayers. The street from Spring Street to the cathedral has already been blocked to a great extent. I am doing this for your own good!"
"Then you shouldn't have taken such a big detour around Minai District. You can just go through Holif District!" Bota was not to be outdone.
The coachman snorted, then gave up his defense and cursed: "Which way do you want to go around and know that there is no one around? I'm going to go as far as possible so as not to delay you. If I don't want to sit down, I'll pay the money first. Really..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Dongwen coughed lightly, stretched out his hand to pull Potato, who was making dangerous moves, back into the car and pressed him on a chair, saying in a deep voice: "Stop the car."
"Oh shit!"
When the detour was discovered, the coachman felt unlucky and stopped the horse angrily: "Give me money! I won't pull anymore!"
Han Dongwen rummaged through the money bag in his pocket, took out five silver coins, put them in his hand and showed them to the other party. The coachman's eyes suddenly straightened.
This, this is twice as much as what he could earn on this trip!
The coachman's expression immediately became flattering, he rubbed his hands and asked: "Oh, sir, this, I'm just worried about delaying your trip..."
He reached out to take the silver coin from Han Dongwen's hand, but Han Dongwen suddenly stopped his hand: "This is the fare for the round trip. Since we have gone around here, we won't go to Simeng Street today."
He turned his head and looked at Porta: "You just said that the Grand Duke visited the cathedral. I remember that your Grand Duke in West Asia doesn't often go to church, right?"
It was impossible to keep the people in the dark about this situation. The coachman nodded blankly.
"Go to church."
Han Dongwen slapped the silver coin into the coachman's hand and retracted it into the carriage seat.
——————
In front of the cathedral.
Han Dongwen and Bota were forced to get off the carriage far away from the church - the crowd of onlookers was already a huge crowd, and they were pushing forward one by one, all wanting to see Tilda.
The Archduke entering the church.
They can't get inside the church.
Despite this, everyone gathered and moved forward enthusiastically.
Han Dongwen knew very well the reason why everyone did this - when entering the church to pray, the Grand Duke would not wear the knight-like silver armor, but would follow the tradition of West Asia and put on a dress.
In the original "Quie Yin", there are many legends about the mission of the Principality of West Asia that look back on the past. Although the Grand Duke Tilda in that timeline is no longer there, the Grand Duke Tilda in the CG and album is really wearing a dress.
It's great, the real person must be even better.
As for why she came to the church, Han Dongwen naturally knew it well.
After a small meeting in the morning, Tilda immediately set out to contact the Church of God, which almost made it clear that she was going to take action against the Holy Grail of the church!
"Bota, follow closely."
There were so many people that Han Dongwen had to turn around and tell the young man following him.
Bota nodded. He was not tall enough, so he had to move around in the crowd to see the scene in front of the church through the gap - the guards of the Grand Duke's Residence had already set up a cordon, and a plane with the Grand Duke's coat of arms was printed on it.
The carriage stopped right in front of the cathedral, and several people in Catholic church attire were standing respectfully four or five steps in front of the carriage, waiting for Tilda to get off.
"That's..."
Bota suddenly exclaimed, and Han Dongwen was stunned: "Who did you see?"
Chapter completed!
