Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 179 Growth
“Sir?”
The boy looked at Yadimu in front of him and was frightened.
Seeing that everyone else was ignoring Yadimu, he keenly sensed something was wrong.
Yadimu looked at the boy’s performance with interest.
He could tell that this was a pretty smart kid.
Even if he just noticed an abnormality, he did not expose it, but dealt with it as normal.
“May I have your name?”
He looked at the boy in front of him and couldn’t help but ask.
“Clay.”
The boy replied carefully.
“Are you interested in following me?”
Yadimu looked at the boy’s patched and tattered clothes and knew that he was not living a good life here.
Those who remain in this place at this age are most likely descendants of slaves.
Slaves’ bodies and minds belong entirely to their masters, and so do their heirs.
Maybe the child in front of me will stay here just like this.
“Can you eat enough every day?”
The boy looked at Yadimu and raised this question cautiously.
Yatimu was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
It was not difficult for Yadimu to take a boy away from this place.
If it were someone else, there might be some trouble.
But for a mere slave, no one cared about his disappearance.
The housekeeper in Clay Manor thought he had escaped and didn’t take it seriously.
Although there were not many slaves escaping, they did happen from time to time and were quite normal.
None of them cared, let alone anyone else.
Back home, Yadimu took Clay to change clothes.
He asked his servants to take Clay to take a bath, then changed him into clean clothes and dressed him up carefully.
A boy is just born brand new.
Compared with before, his mental state is much better at the moment. He looks quite neat and tidy. Except for his physical condition, which looks a little thin due to long-term malnutrition, the rest of him looks good.
Now, even if he walked up to his former acquaintances, no one would recognize him.
The little boy looked quite excited about his experience.
Yadimu then tested him.
The test is relatively simple, and it is a test commonly used by mages in the Dawn World to test their apprentices.
The results show that little Clay’s mental strength is quite good.
This is proof that one is born with a strong spirit, far stronger than ordinary people.
In other words, little Clay himself is a natural mage.
A pretty rare one.
Found a treasure.
Looking at little Clay in front of him, Yadimu had a smile on his face.
He didn’t expect that he could pick up such a good seedling just by going out for a walk like this.
He didn’t know much about the contents of the mage, but he knew a lot.
A talented student like Clay only needs to be guided on the right path, and he will soon stand out and become a mage apprentice.
And this time won’t be too long.
Of course, if placed in this world, judging from the background of this world, little Clay would probably be buried, or even be dragged down by his own talent, and die early.
Being born mentally strong doesn’t come entirely without a price.
For ordinary people, their bodies cannot support their strong spirits, and eventually their bodies will gradually collapse and develop various pathologies.
So for ordinary people, this is more of a curse than a gift.
Of course, as long as you can embark on the path of a mage, everything will be easy.
If little Clay hadn’t met Yadimu, he would probably have problems in two to three years at most.
“You should rest for a while first.”
Yadimu looked at little Clay and said casually: “Remember to meditate every day from now on, and remember to attend the daily classes.”
“yes.”
Little Clay looked serious and nodded there.
Despite his young age, he already knows many things because of his past hardships.
Therefore, he already cherishes the current conditions very much. He usually studies and meditates very hard, for fear that he will accidentally anger Yadimu and let him drive him away.
If this is the case, his life will become worse than before.
“Let’s go.”
Yadimu nodded and then left.
Clay on the side quickly followed.
Not long after, they came to another classroom.
There are several people sitting in the classroom at this moment.
There are about a dozen people in total, all of whom are currently squad leaders promoted by Yadimu himself, as well as some people who have performed well in the past and are remembered by him.
In addition to these people, Sello, Gretel, Cotton and others are also here, with serious faces at the moment, looking seriously ahead.
“alright.”
Walking into the teacher, Yadimu went straight to the topic: “Have you remembered what I said last time?”
“Now for the next lesson.”
He waved his hand and said casually: “Sit at the front.”
Clay looked serious and nodded quickly.
Under the curious gazes of others around him, he sat in a seat in front of Yadimu.
This location can be said to be the closest to Yadimu.
“let’s start.”
Yadimu nodded and continued to start his lesson.
The course here is naturally the knight’s course.
He was trying to take out the brand-new system he had researched and teach it to the people in front of him.
He also called this newly created system Knights.
Compared with traditional knights, the core of this professional knight has not changed much. They also use life energy to fight.
It’s just because of different bloodlines that one has the seed of life and the other doesn’t.
Because of the blessing of the royal bloodline, the power of traditional knights will be slightly stronger at the same level. However, because the new knights are integrated into the fighter system, they will be blessed by the concept of power in the later stage, thus making up for the lack of life energy.
Generally speaking, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
At a later stage, Yadimu is also planning to integrate part of the mage system into this profession, making the new knight a profession that can cast spells.
Spells are not exclusive to mages, and knights are not unable to use spells.
In fact, there are quite a few spells that are highly compatible with knights. If they can be used reasonably in battle, they can greatly enhance the strength of the knight itself.
As for the new knights created by Yadimu, this profession itself incorporates the characteristics of a fighter, so in the later stages, it will be like Yadimu, and its mental power is far stronger than that of ordinary knights, even to the point of being comparable to that of a mage.
With such powerful mental power, it would be a pity if it was not used to cast spells.
That’s why Yadimu came up with this idea.
Of course, that was later.
In the early stage, in order to reduce the difficulty as much as possible, the combat power of the knights was actually weak, far inferior to the traditional royal knights.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
As Yadimu lectured, the people below listened very carefully.
After all, this is an opportunity to contact the extraordinary. For many people down here, they may only have this opportunity in their lifetime to try to contact the extraordinary and change their future life trajectory.
As long as they can succeed, their futures will be different.
So of course we have to work hard.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, their talents still limit their achievements.
Compared with traditional royal knights, the knight system created by Yadimu has a lower entry barrier, changing the entry level from royal blood holders to ordinary people.
But even ordinary people have good and bad talents.
Among the dozen or so people at the moment, Artimu estimates that only Grete and Cotton have a better chance.
The probability of having two seedlings is not bad, and it is possible to get started.
But others are left hanging.
Just like Sai Luo, he is basically destined to have no chance of success in the future. Even if he works hard for most of his life, he may not be able to get started.
The reason why I called him here was entirely to show fairness.
After all, the others were called here, but it would have been too obvious to omit Sailuo’s words.
Although Yadimu didn’t care about Sailuo, he didn’t want to ignore others easily, so he still treated them equally and called them all over.
These people in front of them are basically the core of the Sharman Gang at the moment. If someone opens Wushuang in this place and kills all these people in front of them, the Sharman Gang will probably be shaken for a long time before they can recover.
After the class was over, everyone went back obediently.
Only Clay followed Yadimu.
Because he was still a child, Yadimu arranged his residence next to his own room, so that he could be easily taught and taken care of on the other hand.
Looking at this, the eyes of the others slowly began to change.
Some of the smarter ones, like Sailuo and others, were already thinking secretly at this moment, suspecting that this was Yadi Mu’s illegitimate son.
Of course, on the surface, they didn’t dare to say anything, they just got through it smoothly.
Time passed slowly.
After the brotherhood leader was beheaded, the situation in the entire city of Lima began to slowly change.
The Sharman Gang expanded aggressively, slowly encroaching on the Brotherhood’s original territory and digesting it.
After annexing the Brotherhood’s original property and adding its own share, the Sharman Gang suddenly became very powerful.
But compared to the past brotherhoods, the Sharman Gang’s style is much more stable.
They do not create riots, nor do they rely on force to suppress them. Instead, they start doing business honestly like serious businessmen.
The business they were doing was not that new, it was just the same business they had done before.
But compared to the past, the income from these industries is much greater.
After replacing the Brotherhood, many things can be done with confidence, so the industries under Yadimu are also expanding rapidly, and soon reached a new level.
At the same time, the Shaman Gang is also actively recruiting new members.
The entire city of Lima looks peaceful, but in fact it is full of undercurrents.
“Oh, is there anyone in your tribe willing to come down the mountain?”
One morning, Yadimu received good news from Loken.
A few days ago, he was appointed by Yatimu to go to his hometown to recruit people for Yatimu, and now he has returned successfully.
The effect is quite good.
Including the Loken brothers, the early mountain people who joined Yadimu are now doing well.
Because they joined early, they enjoyed the benefits of the expansion of the Shaman Gang, and they were also valued by Yadimu and arranged in various places.
Relatively speaking, their treatment is quite good. Not only does it include food and accommodation, but their monthly military expenses are sufficient, which is definitely enough to satisfy them.
Of course, the value they created for Yadimu is also satisfactory.
The archers trained by the mountain people were very capable and had played a considerable role in the previous battles.
In the previous battle against the Brotherhood, if it weren’t for their presence, things would have been a little more troublesome.
Therefore, it was understandable that Yadimu valued them.
And with role models like them here, more people will naturally feel moved.
Life in the mountains is not easy.
The hunters of the mountain people live with wild animals all day long. Although it sounds good, it is precarious, not rich enough, and the conditions are quite simple.
Naturally, they also yearn for the prosperity of the outside world, but they have no choice but to be blocked by the cruel life.
Now that there is a place that looks good, they will naturally be tempted and tend to come and try it.
Including the Loken brothers, the few mountain people who initially joined brought a total of sixty people to Yadimu.
Everyone among these sixty people is a good hunter, and they can produce good results with a little training.
This temporarily relieved Yadimu’s urgent need.
As the Sharman Gang expanded, he began to lack more and more people on hand.
Recently, he has been recruiting people from outside, but there are still not many people who can meet the conditions.
In the past, when conditions were limited, there was naturally no choice. Someone would be good.
But now that the conditions are good, we must make a biased choice.
Those with poor physical fitness, those with a bad reputation, and those who are too young or too old will not be accepted.
A few conditions are enough to eliminate many people, not to mention that people will continue to be eliminated during training.
So at the moment, the Shaman Gang is looking good, but its manpower is actually quite tight.
The properties taken from the Brotherhood require sufficient manpower, and there are many places that also need people to watch.
If there are fewer manpower, problems will occur sooner or later.
The group of people brought by Loken are quite good.
The mountain people themselves have a clean background and are relatively simple and straightforward.
In addition, if these people can become hunters, their bodies must be qualified. With a little training, they can be good warriors.
All in all, he is considered a pretty good soldier.
This was just the first group Loken recruited from the mountain tribe.
After this group of people is settled, I believe more people will join in the future.
However, the warrior aspect is enough for the time being, but there are still considerable gaps in other aspects.
The operation of an organization obviously cannot only consist of warriors, but sufficient clerks and organizers are equally important.
However, there is a considerable shortage of talents in this area in Lima.
There is no way, this place itself is in the wilderness, surrounded by mountain tribes, many people may not even be able to perform simple mathematical operations.
It is quite difficult to find a few cultural people.
It seems that we can only turn to those nobles for help in this regard.
