Exchanging the Lion Realm Banner Gun for the Dragon's Fangs was a temporary addition to Amy's condition that had not been discussed with Leon.

But Leon was very much in favor of Amy's approach—an excellent add-on to the covenant.

'Dragon's Fang' is a sword that represents the allegiance of the Dragon Knights, the sword worn by the Raven Kings and the symbol of the Raven Kingdom.

】

It is indeed a very fine sword, which has slain countless powerful enemies at the hands of Earl Gregory.

By now, however, the symbolism of the sword has become much greater than its actual function, and the Raven Kings have worn it with them for generations, but rarely use it.

The 'Lion Realm Banner Gun' is a battle flag spear, a special riding spear wrapped around the banner of the Lion Kingdom, which was the weapon and banner used by the original Lion King Alfred when he recovered the Lion Realm.

Of course, the Lion Realm Banner Gun has nothing to do with the Lion Knights, but it is indeed a symbol of the Lion Kingdom, and it is equivalent to the Dragon's Fang.

Like the Dragon's Fang, this Banner Spear hasn't been on the battlefield in years.

The man with the banner spear is usually at the front of the line, and the king should not do this kind of work himself.

However, this symbol could not be handed over to the flag bearer, lest it be destroyed on the battlefield or taken away by the enemy—so the kings of later generations simply did not use it, and now the flag gun has been planted in the throne room.

These two symbolic weapons, exchanged with each other along with the covenant, are actually equivalent to adding pledges to the covenant, and they are also tokens of the alliance, which are indeed good guarantees for both parties.

However, Amy's seemingly fair move is actually very mysterious.

If Gregory IV sent the Dragon's Fang to Lion City along with the Alliance, it means that the Raven Kingdom openly agrees with Amy to inherit the Lion Kingdom, and it means that Gregory IV regards Amy as a peer monarch!

Anyway, King Ulrique was already more than ten years older than Gregory IV, and he had already died, so it was reasonable to regard Gregory IV as Ulrique's junior.

Gastov's actions were indeed astonishingly fast, and only three days later, he brought back the Covenant signed by Gregory IV, and indeed brought the Dragon's Tooth with the Covenant.

It is said that four horses died along the way.

He then took the Lion Realm Banner Gun and the covenant signed by Amy and Leon.

Now Amy has become an excellent graduate of the 'Leon Training Course', and even if her work location is changed to the Silver Throne, she still does a very good job.

In fact, there are only two students in Li Ang's training class, but for now, both of them will definitely become big bosses......

Oh, and now, there's a third.

Alina arrives in the Lion City.

She came to pay her respects on behalf of Emperor Marius.

Emperor Marius was naturally in a position to express his condolences over the death of the Lion Kingdom monarch - and he was the only king to express his condolences over Ulrique's death, as the kings of several other countries were not in the mood for this......

Emperor Marius still respected his opponents very much.

Although Ulrique had caused a lot of trouble to the Bacchus Empire during his reign, this was a dispute between the two countries, and there was no personal enmity between them.

“…… On behalf of His Majesty Gaius Marius, Emperor of Bacchus, I extend my deep condolences to His Majesty Ulrique, the late Lion King, and my kind greetings to His Royal Highness Amy......"

Alina recited the letter of state very seriously - she was the representative of Emperor Marius, and she had to fulfill her responsibilities as the emperor's envoy first.

And Amy is also very serious about receiving Alina, who is also fulfilling her duties as the successor of the king.

But just after the solemn condolences ended, Alina went directly to Leon and said that she wanted to ask Leon to be her teacher, and said that this was Emperor Marius's wishes.

"Alina, are you sure this is what Emperor Marius meant? If you really want to be a teacher...... His Majesty Marius is eloquent and strategic, and Governor Justes is full of scheming, they are all more suitable than Leon, right? ”

Amy's face was full of unhappiness and she refused and squinted at Leon to threaten her.

After leaving the throne room, Amy will not keep her face tight, she will control her emotions when facing official duties, but usually she does not - she never brings her work status to life, and the public and private are quite clear.

"My father has already taught me everything he should teach, and His Majesty the Emperor also thinks that I should travel to other countries to learn and gain experience...... So he asked me to come to study with Lord Leon, and he wrote a letter to Lord Leon. ”

Alina smiled slightly at Amy, turned her head and took out a letter and handed it to Leon.

This is indeed a handwritten letter from Emperor Marius to Leon.

And the wording is very unusual - the letterhead turned out to be 'My friend Leon'.

After reading the letter, Li Ang thought silently for a long time.

When he looked up again, his mood became a little low: "Alina, you are now my student. Let your entourage return home at once, and by the way, help me bring a reply letter to Emperor Marius. ”

Alina also nodded a little silently: "Okay." ”

"What's going on? Leon? What is written in the letter? ”

Amy frowned and looked at the two.

Can she see that Leon and Alina seem to be a little sad?

"Emperor Marius...... Seriously ill and less energetic than usual, he feared that someone would take advantage of his illness to cause trouble. Alina had previously made enemies with many nobles...... In order to protect Alina, that's why Emperor Marius sent her to me. ”

Li Ang didn't play sloppy this time, but explained to Amy very seriously.

“…… What disease? Can it be cured......"

Amy's attitude became serious.

Since Emperor Marius made a special trip to send Alina over, Amy can of course realize that this emperor may feel that his time is running out?

"It should be lead poisoning......

Li Ang sighed: "This alcoholic guy still didn't listen to my advice after all......"

Alina's retinue left the same day, and Leon had them bring a letter to Emperor Marius.

……

Siyuan City.

"Don't drink! …… Fish, eggs, lean meat...... Don't drink! Tangerine, lemon, pomegranate, apple, coconut...... Don't drink! Vegetables, milk, ...... Don't drink! Your Majesty, what does Your Excellency Leon's letter mean? ”

The first to receive Leon's letter was General Sulla—anything that Emperor Marius wanted to touch now had to go through his inspection.

Because the doctor of the Knights of Radiance said that His Majesty the Emperor was poisoned.

Although Emperor Marius knew that this might be the lead poisoning that Leon had warned him about, and said that he should not be so nervous, General Sulla insisted on ensuring Emperor Marius' safety, which was a good intention, and Emperor Marius did not insist anymore.

After all, Marius knew that there were indeed many nobles who were harmful to him—especially the old aristocrats who magically disappeared during the war, and then reappeared after the war was over, pointing fingers at him.

However, General Sulla did not understand Leon's letter at all—it was full of nouns for all kinds of food, and there were many of them, and at the end of each line was written 'taboo'.

"He told me to eat more of these things...... And told me not to drink. He knew what was wrong with me. ”

Emperor Marius leaned back in his chair, his eye sockets sunken and cheekbones raised, and he probably hadn't grown flesh since he had lost weight from exhaustion during the Bacchus civil strife.

"Alina actually told Leon about your physical condition? But...... Does Leon know how to heal? ”

General Sulla frowned, still not understanding.

"Alina doesn't have to tell him...... Leon was the one who told me that lead wine jugs can cause poisoning. And, speaking of medical skills......"

Emperor Marius stood up with the back of his chair: "Isn't the Red Death the way he found a way to control it?" ”

"It is quite a noble quality that he has offered the nations free of charge the means to make a vaccine from horses, and has not asked for anything in return, and I always feel that he is not the same person as the cunning lord of General Agathon......"

General Sulla nodded and handed the letter to Emperor Marius.

"Cunning and kindness can coexist, isn't that true of Creon?"

Emperor Marius took the letter: "Has Creon arrived at the fortress of Turda?" ”

Then he looked at the letter, coughing and laughing—it read 'My friend Gaius'.

Gaius is the name of Emperor Marius himself, and Marius is his family name.

In most cases, only friends and relatives can call him by his real name, and outsiders will call him by his family name.

When it comes to confronting his friends, Leon is certainly not the cunning lord.

"General Creon, posing as a Ferzwei, attacked Qawan Khan, and then he 'saved' Gavian Khan's life...... Now the fortress of Turda is equivalent to the territory of the Empire......"

General Sulla reported on the situation in Dexia: "And Gaywan Khan went to seek revenge on the Philzwie—he still thought that the 'Red Axe' Sigru of Nudabao had attacked him. ”

"Haha...... You see, Cleon, who has always been gentle and kind to civilians, immediately becomes a cunning general on the battlefield...... Ahem......"

Emperor Marius laughed, but after laughing twice, he clutched his chest and coughed lightly, looking like he was already in a rather bad state.

"That's right...... Drink a glass of water, Your Majesty, your body ......"

General Sulla nodded, then brought a glass of water.

“…… I'd like to have a drink......"

Emperor Marius smacked his mouth: "There is no taste in the mouth, it's really uncomfortable......"

General Sulla turned his head in disagreement: "Your Majesty...... The doctor told you not to drink, and His Excellency Leon wrote 'Don't Drink' twelve times! ”

"Okay...... Let's get some milk...... In fact, Leon also wrote about dozens of fruits, but most of them were Fields Miles' specialties......"

Emperor Marius sighed and read Leon's letter again.

"That's okay, just buy whatever fruit you want, I can take the fleet to buy more ......"

General Sulla was indeed very concerned about the health of Emperor Marius.

"No, he didn't mean to let me buy it...... The various forces of Dexia and Fields are all at war now, right? ”

Emperor Marius turned and looked thoughtfully at the map.

"Yes, the Knights of Dawn and the Knights of Dusk are fighting; That Inquisition was also at war with Cardin; Emir Xerxes is dealing with the Fieldsweins who have entered Descha from the fortress of the High Pass......"

It was clear that General Sulla was now Marius's intelligence officer, and he stood next to the map and explained the situation: "General Creon has basically not encountered any strong enemies in the eastern part of Dexia. I think that if the Shadow Wolves infiltrate Singar and join forces with General Creon, they should be able to defeat Singar in one fell swoop! ”

"Zingal? If you take that place, you're asking for trouble......"

Emperor Marius shook his head: "Sula, you don't know much about Singar, and that place can even be said to have little to do with Dexia......"

Sura gave her an inquiring look.

He came from the continent of Amara, and he has always been by Emperor Marius's side, so he really doesn't know much about Singal.

"Don't provoke Singar, and neither will Creon, I let him occupy the fortress of Turda, just to prevent the Descha from jumping over the wall and attacking Bacchus in desperation."

Emperor Marius pointed to the map and drew a big arc: "Don't care how the Dexia and Fields fight. What you have to do is to get the Shadow Wolves around the west coast and get some more benefits from Fengyu Harbor or Roaring Bay - Desxia is very poor now, Fields is quite rich, and the richest places in Fields are these two big ports. ”

"Leon will let the Lion Kingdom fight a big battle with Fieldsway, and Fieldsway's rear will definitely be empty."

"That's what Leon was trying to say, Fieldsway not only has all the fruits I need, but also the rebuilding funds that the Bacchus Empire and the Grey Empire need...... It's just that he can't explicitly tell me to sneak up on the West Coast, because the messenger may not be reliable, and the news may leak out. ”

"Take the fleet to the West Coast, Sula, but don't fly the Imperial flag or wear the Imperial uniform. Hope you return with a full load...... Ahem......"

Emperor Marius gave the task, and then began to cough again.

"I see. We sow chaos behind Fields so that Lord Leon can surely defeat Fields in a frontal battle—this is the Lion Kingdom's revenge war, and he must win. That way he can get the victory he wants, and we get the Fieldsway savings......"

General Sulla nodded in understanding, he felt that this was good, and it was indeed a win-win situation.

"He didn't try to win, he could have won...... This is the tuition fee he charges! ”

Emperor Marius pursed his lips: "It may be a mistake to send Alina to study with him...... That's a lot of money! ”

…………

“…… That's a lot of money! ”

Alina, who was in the Lion City, also said the same thing as Emperor Marius.

"To be reasonable, the Bacchus Empire has made a lot of money, okay...... Alina, do you know how prosperous Fengyu Harbor and Roaring Bay are? It's so rich! ”

Li Ang shrugged: "This is a good thing for everyone, you are actually too expensive?" ”

"I'm not talking about your strategy, teacher......"

Alina shook her head: "I mean you take the money!" What are the fees for books, meals, accommodation, clothing, and waiters...... There is still a protection fee?! You're blackmailing! ”

"Going to school is inherently expensive...... Marina, it's all necessary for education - seriously, it's probably not enough to pay for candles. ”

Leon shook the parchment in his hand, and then handed it to Amy: "Go and send it to Governor Justus and let him settle the bill......"

Amy looked at the total amount of 'eight thousand dinars' at the end, and walked away with Alina's 'tuition list' with a smile.

At this moment, Amy has no problem with Alina asking Leon to be the teacher......

She even hopes to bring a few more of these big sums to 'study' by Li Ang's side.

This is because the tuition fee is not a one-time payment, but is paid semi-annually – Leon calls the half-annual harvest season 'a semester'.

8,000 dinars per person per semester......

Amy thinks that if there are a few more girls like Alina, the tuition fee alone will be worth several counties!

She looked at Leon now like she was looking at a mountain of gold......
