In fact, many things are easy for Leon to analyze......

Gaius was a sincere man, and if he had any cash, he would definitely use it to help his father rebuild Siyuan City.

He didn't have a private army or slaves - Emperor Marius was always trying to change the slavery system, and a decent man like Gaius certainly wouldn't go against his father's will.

So he must have been able to participate in the auction with a land exchange, and Box 1 has indeed been assessing the value of the land from the beginning.

The Savoie Fort was originally given to Titus by Emperor Marius, but Titus, an outsider, naturally couldn't get much arable land - the arable land of the Bacchus Empire was in the hands of the Bacchus, and a general like Creon, who was born in Pande's own country, did not have much arable land.

But Gaius is the purest Bacchus, and he is also the eldest son of Marius - this is of course the easiest person to get 'land attachment', although the Bacchus Empire does not have the name of a great prince, and Gaius is not regarded as an heir by Marius, but no one can take the initiative to provoke the son of Emperor Marius.

In addition, Titus had a habit of scraping the ground, so most of the landlords south of the Sava Fort would ask Gaius, an upright nobleman, to 'help'.

Thus Gaius owned a large amount of land in his name, and indeed all of it was legitimate.

And now that the Savoie Fort has been destroyed and occupied by the Lion Kingdom, the land south of the Savoie Fort is no longer safe.

Add to that the fact that Sheila Youzas's rebels had been entrenched in the area last year, and it is estimated that all the arable land has been abandoned - then this land is just the right time to bid for Eichkoman.

Moreover, in this way, it can also make those lands a separation zone, whether it is the Dexia or the Singar who finally get those lands, anyway, at least the Bacchus Empire does not have to directly face the Lion Kingdom that is in full swing, which is very helpful for the Bacchus Empire to recuperate in the near future.

Therefore, Gaius must have been instructed by Emperor Marius to exchange a piece of abandoned arable land for a rich harbor, which was a good deal anyway.

And after hearing that Alina has been bidding, it is easier to judge this - Alina must have been sent by Emperor Marius, she is the real representative of Marius, and the two 'princes' are probably just acting as funders to provide the principal for Alina's bid.

In fact, Emperor Marius could directly exchange with Leon for Eichkoman, but he didn't promise Leon at that time, he just said, 'Let's wait until Eichkoman is occupied......

Now, having captured Eichkoman, Leon understood what Emperor Marius meant, who had probably been planning from the very beginning how to get people from other countries to go south of the Sava Fort to cultivate the abandoned lands.

For this reason, he even fooled all the bandits and bandits in that area into Dexia to get horses......

If Emperor Marius succeeds in his counterattack and recaptures the fort of Savoie, then the land will return to the Bacchus Empire - as long as Emperor Marius provides a little preferential policy for the land, such as a three-year tax exemption or something, and the people who cultivate the land will even help the Bacchus Empire defend against the enemy.

And now the Sava Fort has lost the support of the Seven Forks Fortress......

Thinking of this, Li Ang admired from the bottom of his heart - Emperor Marius was a real shrewd person, and he basically didn't have to pay for the business he did...... Of course, as an emperor, you can't trade with the land, but it must be okay to let the two sons trade with the land that is about to be occupied by the Lion Kingdom.

…………

At this time, Singal was full of discussion and noise, and Ramon's ability to create heat was extremely prominent in this era.

Ramon's City Lord's Auction came to a successful conclusion.

Auction City Lord, this gimmick-filled news sent the whole of Singar to a boil, and most of the Singar people had a kind of schadenfreude on their faces.

For the Singars, it is quite welcome for the Duchy of Descha to encounter this kind of thing - in fact, any civil strife in any country is a favorite thing for the Singars.

Anyway, no matter which country nominally occupies Singar, it will not really identify with the Singars, so the Singars will naturally not care which country they belong to.

They care more about their business and the dinar.

And the more chaotic the Pander continent is, the better business for the Singars......

If it weren't for the lack of help, I'm afraid that many Singar people would be willing to take the initiative to create some war.

Anyway, no king would easily attack the chaotic place of Singar, there are many forces in this city, and most of them belong to the unscrupulous category, if they are really provoked, anything can happen.

At this time, a large crowd gathered outside Ramon's hotel, and probably the whole of Singar gathered here.

But these guys didn't plan to make trouble, but they were all looking at the final outcome of the auction.

As soon as Ramon's hotel opened its doors, the crowd began to surge.

The first few fat-brained guys to come out of the hotel looked outside, and then immediately shrank back - they probably thought there was a riot in the city, and the streets were full of people......

It wasn't until it was confirmed that these people outside were just to watch the excitement or inquire about the news, so they carefully covered their wallets and recruited their entourage, and asked the entourage to escort them out of the hotel.

It didn't take long for the news to spread - the bid for Eichkoman was sold for two million dinars!

And the one who successfully won the bid for Eichkoman was Miss Alina from the Bacchus Empire!

"Huh? This Alina is a woman, right? How can a woman marry Miss Luha? ”

"Ahem, that Miss Alina is said to have never dated a man in her twenties - you know, don't be so gender-restricted......"

"Shhh...... Do the people of the Bacchus Empire play so much? ”

"Look at what you said...... These nobles can't do anything......"

There was a lot of talk in the city of Singar, and the conversation quickly drifted to things like "what happens when two women get married......

And Leon was also in the suite on the top floor of the hotel, waiting for Ramon with a smile on his face.

"Cheers, good brother!"

Leon and Ramon stood side by side on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the chattering crowd downstairs, and touching the wine glasses in their hands.

"One million dinars will be sent to Changhe Town in a few months, and I will cash in those title deeds as soon as possible...... But how will Eichkoman deliver it? ”

Ramon explained to Leon about the settlement.

"I'll handle the delivery, don't worry, I'm a bit of a friend with Alina."

Leon turned around, leaning back against the balcony, and asked Ramon something else: "I would like to ask you about that throwing knife...... Ramon, are you the Grand Master of the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood? ”

Ramon was silent for several seconds before speaking: "...... It's true that I've been a Scorpio assassin before, but I'm not much of a Grand Master. Since the previous Grand Master was assassinated by his own brother, the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood has not had a Grand Master anymore......"

Then Ramon shook his head and smiled a little unnaturally: "What? Good brother, you don't want to be the Grand Master, do you? ”

"No, no, no...... I don't want to be assassinated by my own brother......"

Leon shook his head like a swing, then turned to look downstairs, no longer staring at Ramon, and said to himself, "Ramon, I can guess...... You're the former Grand Master who was assassinated by your own brother......"

Ramon's smiling face froze.

"Good brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you...... I just ......"

Ramon's hand holding the glass shook for a moment, as if he was a little nervous, and even a little panicked.

"I can understand it...... Everyone has their own secrets, and I probably shouldn't have mentioned it, I'll punish myself. ”

Leon drank the wine from the glass, and then put his arm around Ramon's shoulder: "But you have to understand, since I can guess it, others can guess it too......"

】

After all, Leon himself has a lot of secrets buried in his heart, and of course he can understand Ramon.

Ramon faked his death to hide his identity, which must be hidden from everyone.

However, Leon deliberately mentioned this topic to remind Ramon that he was really showing kindness as a good brother.

Ramon also drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, then dropped the wine glass and pulled out a strange throwing knife from his bosom.

"Good brother, I understand what you mean, you take this ......"

Ramon turned the knife around, pinched the blade, and handed the handle to Leon.

It was a very primitive straight-edged throwing knife, about the length of the palm of the hand, with a black coat of arms in the middle of the blade, and the black coat of arms was embedded with ebony.

The heraldic pattern is a scorpion, a black scorpion.

"What is this? A token of the Scorpio Assassin? ”

Leon took the throwing knife and touched the black scorpion coat of arms with his fingers, the tentacles were cold and smooth, and it was indeed the ebony embedded in it—the workmanship of this flying knife was much more exquisite than the one that had been auctioned before.

"No, it's a family token, and it can mobilize the Scorpio Assassin ...... to a limited extent."

Ramon whispered, "I never told anyone my last name, everyone thought I was a villain from a civilian background...... Good brother, my surname used to be Akarab. The Scorpio Brotherhood of Assassins was originally known to me as the 'Knights of the Scorpio Guardians'. ”

Akarab ......

This is the family name of the former Duke of Descha who led to Descha's independence - that duke was called Balta Yin Al Akarab.

Balta is the first name, Yin Er is the clan name, and Akarab is the family name.

Balta was the one who founded the Scorpio Brotherhood of Assassins, who, of course, were the Guardian Knights of the Akarab family.

"I see...... Ramon, in that case, you can completely replace ......"

Leon realizes that Ramon actually has the jurisprudence of the ruler of Dexia, and that he is the most orthodox of them!

"No ......"

Ramon interrupted Leon's unfinished words: "Good brother, maybe I would be disrespectful to the gods when I say that—I don't believe in the god Vata. Moreover, I am a sinner...... When I was a Scorpio Assassin, I killed someone I shouldn't have killed...... So, I'm no longer qualified to use the surname Akarab. ”

After saying this, Ramon seemed to be much more relaxed.

Leon was stunned, patted Ramon on the shoulder, and didn't ask again, he didn't want to touch his friend's pain again.

Everyone has their own sorrows.

Although Ramon did not say it explicitly, judging from the fact that he had the Scorpio Assassin 'assassin' kill himself, the person he had killed who should not have been killed was probably his closest relative.

"Whew...... Don't mention these unhappy things. Ramon, we have a lot to rejoice about, where are Emilexes and Bridget? ”

Li Ang carefully took the Scorpion Flying Knife into his arms and diverted the topic.

"It's downstairs - they're on the fourth floor, room 401...... Your elven assassin stared at them in room 403 next door to them. ”

Ramon pointed to the ground, "They all came in disguised as slave traders, and Emile Xerxes had been in contact with Younes before, and he originally wanted to seek the support of the Bacchus. ”

"Of course he should have sought Bacchus' support, but I'm afraid he's just as wrong as Ikram......"

Li Ang sighed: "The people of Dexia despise women too much...... But most of the things in this world are actually caused by women......"

Ramon also sighed: "yes......"

……

The hotel's room 401 is just at the foot of Leon's room, which is just as large but not luxurious.

The rooms on the fourth floor were all large suites with many small bedrooms, which were normally reserved for large merchants or minor lords who brought many retinues.

Right now, room 401 seems to be on fire, and there is even a trace of smoke floating out of the crack in the door, so you can imagine what the scene is inside the room......

It seems that Brigitte is very good at tricking people into smoking opium - this would not have been possible if it weren't for a smoking gun in everyone's hand.

And in room 403, which is only separated by a wall from 401, Risa Dilan is eavesdropping against the wall.

"I didn't expect that it was Alina who won the auction...... Younes is just joining in the fun as a person?! Our previous efforts were in vain......"

It was a middle-aged man's voice, and it was supposed to be Emile Xerxes.

"Who would have thought that the Bacchus Empire would let a woman call the shots...... But I couldn't get in touch with Alina, the young lady never saw anyone. ”

The voice sounded sharper, probably Brigitte.

"So what should we do? Is it kidnapping Alina? ”

"Great Khan, if you want, we can give it a try......"

"Bridget, are you planning to make enemies of the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood? Ramon's performance at the auction is clear - whoever dares to use force against the successful bidder will be hunted down by the Scorpio Assassin for the rest of his life! ”

"That'...... Khan, what do you think you should do? Cardin's troops are just outside the city of Singar, and he must have been chasing us! If we don't get a suitable base from which we can fight, we won't be able to fight Cardin. ”

"Alas...... I'd rather Ramon auction Toba City than Eichkoman......"

There was no more conversation in the room, and the people inside seemed to be thinking.

At this time, Risa Dilan, who was listening to the root of the wall in room 403, turned his head and said softly: "My lord, Emir Xerxes and Brigi still don't know your arrangement in Toba City......"

Li Ang nodded, went out with a large number of Mengnan bodyguards, and knocked directly on the door of 401.

"Who!"

"Is there a fire in there? I'm here to put out the fire! ”

Leon pouted at the smoke seeping out through the crack in the door, and simply put on his mask.
