Riding and Slashing

On this unusual afternoon, Singal, who has always been extremely noisy, seemed a little quiet.

The number of businessmen on the street has decreased by more than half, and even the opium halls that have never closed stalls have disappeared, and the drug addicts who collapsed on the street can't even find a source of supply.

All kinds of lawbreakers that could be seen everywhere in the past have disappeared, and the chaotic capital of Singal seems to have become a good place of good law and order overnight.

This is mainly because almost all the big forces in the city jointly maintain the 'stability' of the city on this day.

Tahir sent his army to patrol around the city, the slaves of the Twilight Knights were cruising back and forth, and Ramon's men in black were also guarding the streets.

These guys of different forces and different beliefs became quite harmonious this afternoon.

Because Ramon's auction is currently going on in the huge hotel in the center of Singal.

The auction site this time is located on the second basement floor. It is a semi-circular venue with a circular stage with passages on both sides in the middle. The seats for bidding are fan-shaped to half-enclose the stage, and the seats are divided into inner and outer layers.

The inner layer is closer to the stage, but they are all ordinary seats, which can be regarded as the hall in the venue.

The outer layer is actually a private room one by one, and the location is slightly higher than the seats in the hall.

But don't think that these D'Shars will engage in duels full of chivalry. They never advocate fair duels, they only advocate revenge.

Children can be given to brotherhoods as tributes for training, political deals can be offered, large sums of dinars can be offered, or their own lives can be used.

"110 million!"

A young voice came from the sixth box, and a man in black turned and entered the box—they were all professionals under Ramon, and they could directly evaluate assets such as land.

But Desha didn't pay attention to hereditary succession at that time. After Balta's death, his family split into several parts-several sons separated.

And the dagger engraved with the coat of arms of Scorpio that Ramon was pointing at at this moment represented the approval of the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood for this auction.

Ramon's auction is obviously very sensitive to customer privacy.

Ramon shrugged. He knew who the person in Box No. [-] was, but this person was in a special situation, and Ramon felt that it was not easy to deal with.

Ramon was on stage explaining the bidder's number to the others.

Dexia is a country that pays attention to vengeance. Almost all Dexia people are willing to turn their resentment into swords and blood—try not to force them if they can. After all, most Dexia people are not very good at verbal disputes .

The most ironic thing is that the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood, an assassin group that recognizes money but does not recognize people, turned out to be a legal knight order recognized by the Valides Charter.

……

But this kind of hands-on revenge isn't the only option.

Outside the box, a man in black under Ramon held up a sign with the number '2'.

At the same time, whoever dares to use force to attack Ashkoman's idea will face the threat of the Scorpio assassin.

Tahir's temper is indeed not very good, and he has a lot of opinions on Ramon's provocation.

A woman's voice came, it was Alina's voice.

"Guests in Box No. [-], please use your own property to bid... Your voice is neither Bahad Khan nor His Excellency Tahir. I am afraid that Singal does not belong to you..."

In fact, situations that are more regrettable than this happen from time to time-two children have conflicts, and then both families find swordsmen in the family to "clean up the shame". If one party suffers losses and is more violent, then this This situation may escalate into endless revenge again, and finally into a decisive battle between the two families.

This dagger is obviously the biggest guarantee for this auction.

"No. 100 bid [-] million..."

The voice came from box No. 5. Ramon's men held up the No. [-] sign, but he held it sideways—this was just to mark the position of the speaker, not a bid.

Ramon's subordinates were all dressed in black and stood in a circle outside the box, separating the hall from the box.They should be the waiters for the customers in the box - Ramon doesn't allow anyone to bring an entourage, so he naturally has to provide an entourage for the distinguished guests.

The price is slowly increasing. No one impulsively calls out any high price beyond logic. Most people only raise the price by [-] or [-]—the unit is [-] after all, and [-] dinars are equivalent to It is already a huge amount of wealth that is difficult for most lords to come up with.

Allow land, armies, and slaves to be priced...

In other words, if the person who took the dagger was killed by other people, the scorpion assassin will definitely avenge him.

Obviously, most people realize that someone is going to mess up.

Most people know that the last auction item in this auction is Ashkoman's right to rule, but few people would have imagined that what was auctioned at the same time as the right to rule would actually have the approval of the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood!
The Brotherhood of Scorpio Assassins, as you can tell from the name, is an organization of killers.

"...deal! Congratulations to the distinguished guests in Box [-] for winning this set of Noldor sigil artwork at a price of [-] dinars. This is a genuine item with magic sigils. I must say that you earned a lot of money." !"

With a smile on his face, Ramon raised his voice again: "Then, I announce that Ashkoman's right to rule, Miss Luha's marriage, and the approval of the Scorpio Assassin - the base price is 80 dinars, and the price will be increased once. Not less than [-] dinars! Bids for land, troops, or slaves are allowed... the auction begins now!"

These assassins marked with a scorpion pattern are unparalleled in assassination. Once they become their targets, they will face endless daggers, throwing knives and poisons. They will not stop until they complete their goals. As long as they accept If you have a task, you will definitely do it.

The person who gets this dagger can get the protection of the Scorpio Assassin - but this is not to guarantee the life safety of the bidder, but to guarantee the success of revenge...

The people in the audience were obviously breathing heavily, especially those Singals and D'Shars.

The story of retribution is not a story at all in Dexia—every family has experienced it, or it is happening now.

Therefore, sometimes the quarrel between two bear children will often turn into a fight between the two parents...

For example, some extremely exquisite equipment, as well as some rare antiques and artworks.

These private rooms are naturally provided for some special people who are not convenient to show up. The attendants provided by Ramon not only serve tea and water, run errands, but also help the customers in the private rooms to raise signs and bid for the auction.

"Sorry, Your Excellency Tahir, I think you should handle this matter. I am not the Lord of Singal."

At the same time, this is also a very trustworthy assassin group - as long as they accept the mission, they will definitely carry it out, even if the target is their Grand Leader...

The girl walked around the stage with the plate, and finally put the plate on the inclined booth in front of Ramon.

It wasn't because the reserve price was too high, but because Ramon's last words once again surprised everyone.

Occasionally there are those who can't be killed, but they will still send people to assassinate them year after year, and they will never give up-this is their scariest thing.

"110 million for the first time... 110 million for the second time..."

"coax……"

"Then you may have to ask Master Tahir's opinion first... I don't care, but I have to advise you, Master Tahir has always had a bad temper..."

Ramon pointed to the seal: "This is the seal of Lord Aishekman, and it is the authority of the ruler of Aishikman!"

These are actually things that go with the engagement ceremony—gorgeous ceremonial armor and beautiful artwork can not only show financial resources, but also show the sincerity of the bidders for the selection of a son-in-law.

"120 million!"

Most members of the Brotherhood of Scorpio Assassins are orphans, although a small number have given up all allegiance to their former families and sworn allegiance to the Brotherhood - most of which have previously hired Scorpio members to exact revenge at their own expense. people.

"100 million!"

It was in the 198th year of the Pendor calendar, and the continent of Pendor was facing the invasion of General Osa of the Bacchus Empire.

And once you join, you can never leave again, otherwise... Any assassin organization deals with betrayers in the same way, but the only difference between the Scorpio Brotherhood of Assassins is that they never miss, or in other words, they never end.

Ramon said jokingly, there are always various situations in the auction, sometimes just joking, and he didn't care too much.

During the bidding process, a discordant voice suddenly appeared.

Ramon shook his head, and simply waited for Tahir to settle things by himself...

Ramon tapped the gavel in his hand on the stage, and the volume gradually increased: "Next...gentlemen! The last auction item of this auction is about to appear-this is what you have been waiting for for a long time...Ash Koman's right to rule, and the marriage of Luha, the beloved daughter of the venerable Caliph Bahaman!!"

During those few years, Balta used his 'Family Guardian Knights' to assassinate many opponents, and the De'Shar Principality also declared independence from the Pendor Kingdom and the Sarleon Kingdom a few years later.

If insults or enmity are involved, it will usually be dealt with through private fighting. Both parties can appoint any agent as their own representative to solve the problem with a knife, and there will be no grievances between life and death.

"Everyone, with the approval of the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood, you should understand that the seal of Lord Ashkoman is completely reliable, and I believe that no fool would dare to snatch it after the auction..."

And Balta's "Family Guardian Knights" became an independent organization, and since then it has been transformed into the Brotherhood of Scorpio Assassins, and has long taken root in Eichkoman.

In fact, this auction was not just about choosing a husband for Luha, Ramon also bought some extra auction items to warm up the scene.

"Heh... I'm not kidding! How about it, Ramon, I'll use Singal for 200 million dinars, is it okay?"

For the Dexia people, no matter how the enemy died, as long as the enemy's blood was shed, it was enough to wash away their 'honor'.

Anyway, this is provoking Tahir, and Ramon does not intend to be a peacemaker.

It was a rough voice that came from Box No. [-]—this was the voice of Tahir, the lord of Singal.

Yes, this killer group is actually a legitimate 'Knight Order'!
Because the Scorpion Assassin Brotherhood was originally established by the Duke of D'Shar, Balta il Akarab, in the name of the Knights of the Family Guard, it was indeed a legal knights at the beginning, and the Scorpion was actually Balta's family crest.

"90 million!"

"Singal is not for sale... Shut your mouth! If you make this kind of joke again, I will kill you!"

"I ask again, how much is Singal worth?"

"[-] million! I want to evaluate the value of my land..."

Most of the private battles of the D'Shar people use ambushes and raids...

It could be vaguely seen that there was a scorpion engraved on the blade of the dagger.

There is a curtain hanging in the private room, and there is a number on the curtain, and the people inside cannot be seen. Only the people in the private room can lift the curtain to peek into the venue.

"No. 80 bid 80... [-] for the first time!"

At that time, the capital of Desha was Aishikman.

There was a commotion in the audience, but no one bid in the hall for the time being.

The people in Box No. [-] were still asking indifferently, and the venue became quiet at this moment.

"Ha... how much is Singal worth?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the quaint dagger: "And this dagger is as important as the seal! It represents the recognition of the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood! That is to say... the successful bidder will be regarded by the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood." To be the legitimate ruler of Ashcomen—I think you all understand what that means..."

"Perhaps many friends have already noticed... these two items..."

The people in Box No. [-] still didn't shut up.

Ramon himself is the most successful ransom broker in the entire continent. Of course, he is very good at evaluating the price of people and land. Such a rule will balance the financial resources of everyone present - merchants have an advantage in dinars, but they own a lot of land The lords can bid to the end even if they don't have much cash.

The people in the audience made a 'buzzing' sound, apparently they were all whispering to each other.

Such an assassin group is of course quite terrifying, and the price they provide is also quite high, and there are many ways to bid.

"Ramon! Shut up! Get him out!"

"80 million!"

A girl in a golden ceremonial dress brought a dagger and a brass seal on a silver tray.

Probably due to the reputation of the Scorpio Assassins, the Valides Charter did not judge it as an illegal group-the nobles naturally cherish life more, and no one wants to form a grudge with the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood, after all No one wants to be on guard against the killer who may appear in the dark at any time every day.

Sometimes the hostile family is too powerful to be defeated, and it is also possible that the other party is protected by a great noble. Anyway, for whatever reason, those who are rich enough or desperate for revenge usually turn to the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood to help them Solve the problem.

Although Scorpio would not take the initiative to intervene in the disputes between the kingdoms, after all, they were stationed in Eichcoman, so Li Ang was unwilling to provoke them even if he brought an army.

"Then let your people obey my command...I will kill this bastard!"

Tahir lifted the curtain, got out from the No. [-] box, and went straight to the No. [-] box.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of Box No. [-], an arm stretched out through the curtain and grabbed Tahir.

Then a small knife was pressed against Tahir's throat: "Tahir, now can you tell me how much Singal is worth?..."

"Ikram! It's you! . . . You'll regret it!"
