Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 184

Yadimu told the location of Huamu Village.

Clayton didn’t take it seriously: “There are a lot of robbers in that area. What do you want there?”

“I went over to see it.”

Yadimu smiled: “The terrain over there is pretty good. If you cultivate it well, you can produce a lot of food every year.”

“In that case, I will simply buy that place, which can be regarded as fulfilling my wish as a lord.”

This reason is indeed quite reasonable. Many down-and-out nobles will want to acquire a territory after becoming prosperous again, so as to become a member of the nobles again.

It is reasonable for Yadimu to say this.

Clay nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

He asked someone to take out the map and draw the area casually.

“Is this enough?”

“Is it too much?”

Yadimu was a little surprised.

The places Clay had divided were much larger than he had previously imagined.

He previously only wanted the area centered on Birch Village.

But the area that Clay has divided now is almost three or four times the size of that area.

“It’s originally a no-man’s land. If it’s not allocated to you, not many people will be interested.”

Clay didn’t take it seriously: “Who else can clean these places except you?”

Dividing territory is not as simple as drawing a line on a piece of paper.

The specific cleanup and management are all real investments.

According to the laws of the Principality of Cohen, assuming that the land purchaser has not formed substantial rule and governance over the purchased land within a certain period of time, the official has the right to take back the sovereignty of this area in accordance with the law.

Therefore, buying a territory is not only about having money, but also giving people and soldiers.

If you don’t have the strength to clean up the mess in that area, then your purchase will be in vain.

This is why so few people are interested in unclaimed land.

Because even if they have the money to buy it, they don’t have the strength to develop it.

And people like Yadimu who have the strength to develop are also welcome to royal officials like Clay.

After all, opening up an uninhabited area is also a political achievement and can be included in the assessment.

From his perspective, he naturally hopes that Yadimu can purchase as much land as possible.

In this way, the benefits that can be obtained in the future will be greater.

“Why don’t you consider buying this place as well?”

After dividing the land, Clay began to actively promote it: “There are many mountains and forests in this area, which are said to produce a lot of valuable timber. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you buy these places.”

There is a lot of valuable wood, but there are also a lot of mountain people.

Yadimu looked at Clay who was actively selling in front of him, and this thought silently flashed through his mind.

Overall, there are quite a few nice places near Lima.

After all, this is a newly developed area, and there are still many opportunities at this moment.

But the opportunity is not small, which also means the problem is not small.

At least judging from the current situation, the places recommended by Clay basically have quite a lot of hidden dangers and problems.

There is no way to solve it if you don’t have enough strength.

But Yadimu didn’t mind this.

In the city of Lima, he is one of the few people with strength.

Nowadays, the power of the Sharman Gang in Lima City has grown, and even Clay, the city lord, cannot ignore it.

So his appetite can definitely be increased.

“Then so be it.”

He smiled and took in all the places that Clay had divided for him: “I’ll take these places first. As for the others, I’ll talk about them later.”

“good.”

Clay smiled and said, “If you need anything, you can come to me at any time.”

“correct.”

After talking about the topic just now, he seemed to speak unintentionally: “I heard that you recently sent someone to transport another batch of goods?”

“yes.”

Atimu immediately understood: “I came here this time just to mention this matter to you.”

“I came here to give you some gifts this time. I hope you can help me?”

“oh?”

Clay suddenly became interested: “Then I can take a good look at it.”

“please.”

Yadimu brought Clay to the courtyard.

There are several boxes placed there at the moment.

Open the box, and what appears inside are some jewelry and gold coins.

Even without careful calculation, the value of these things is at least three thousand gold coins.

The jewelry was seized by Yadimu from the Birch Bandits. There were many good things in it, and they were all of good value.

But Yadimu thought it would be troublesome to get rid of these things, so he simply brought them over and gave them to Clay.

With Clay’s style, he might just like this kind of thing. .

Sure enough, when he saw these things, a smile suddenly appeared on Clay’s face.

“Not bad.”

Clay turned around, looked at Yadimu and said directly: “Mr. Yadimu, I am very satisfied with your gift. You are welcome to come again next time.”

What are you going to do next, continue giving gifts?

Yadimu looked calm, smiled and nodded at Clay: “Yes.”

The two of them were talking and laughing immediately, and they kept chatting here. They looked like they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.

Strictly speaking, they may be closer than old friends for many years.

After all, old friends are just that, but there are not many friends who can send thousands of gold coins at a time.

Even a person like Clay was stunned by Yadimu’s generosity and sent him out talking and laughing.

After Yadimu left, he stopped smiling and returned to the previous courtyard.

“Has everything been taken care of?”

He looked at the servant in front of him and asked casually.

“It’s been taken care of.”

The old servant in front of him nodded: “They are all good things, worth at least three thousand gold coins. If you take it slow, you can do it with four thousand gold coins, but the time may be slower.”

This is four thousand gold coins obtained.

Clay’s face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction.

“It’s so rich.”

Recalling Yadimu’s generosity, he couldn’t help but sigh.

To be honest, Clay himself is no longer a nobody.

Although the city of Lima is located in a remote area, it is, after all, a territory directly under the royal family.

Clay’s ability to become the city lord of this place at this age is not an easy one in any case.

He has also seen big scenes.

But even so, he was still overwhelmed by Yadimu’s generosity.

Every time Yadimu comes to give gifts, the number is never less.

Thousands of gold coins were thrown down as if they were free, and even Clay was knocked unconscious.

“but.”

Clay collected the money very happily, but the old housekeeper in front of him couldn’t help but have some doubts: “Is it really okay if we collect the money like this?”

“If His Highness knew about it”

“Do you think His Highness doesn’t know now?”

Clay smiled and didn’t care about this question at all: “Or do you think that all the money will end up in my hands?”

“Could it be.”

The old housekeeper was suddenly shocked.

Clay shook his head: “The main reason why I came here to be the city lord was to raise funds for His Highness.”

“With such a good partner now, His Highness will only be happy, and of course he cannot be angry.”

This sentence shows Clay’s intention.

In a word, when he came to this miserable place to be the city lord, his purpose was to make money.

If he wasn’t here to make money, then why would he be the city lord of such a shabby place?

The city of Lima is not a nice place.

Compared to other places in the Principality of Cohen, this place is full of mountain people and robbers and robbers, and there is nothing good about it at all.

Clay’s purpose in coming here is to make money.

And since the purpose is to make money, there is no need to be taboo about any means. The money will come as quickly as possible.

Obviously, he is very satisfied with the current speed at which Yadimu sends him money.

You know, before Artimu defeated the Brotherhood and unified the entire Lima City gang, Clay, the city lord, could not make much money every year, sometimes only a few hundred gold coins.

Not to mention the big shots behind him, even Clay himself is not satisfied with this amount of money.

But now I feel much more comfortable. I basically don’t have to do anything. I just need to cooperate with Yadimu, and I can get at least a thousand gold coins into my account every month.

Occasionally, there will be heavy gifts, and you can easily receive tens of thousands of gold coins in a year.

Is this speed of making money worse than in the past?

Of course, if you keep cooperating with Yadimu like this, there will definitely be problems. It is equivalent to planting a bomb in the city of Lima.

No one needs to tell this, Clay can see it himself.

But then again, what does this have to do with him?

The city of Lima is not his territory.

He sounds like a city lord, but in fact he is just an official directly under the royal family, and he will not be able to stay here for long.

In a few years, when his term is up, he can just slap his butt and leave.

You don’t have to worry about it that much.

As for the many problems that will arise in the city of Lima in the future, let these be left to the future city lords to deal with.

He just needs to go back with his political achievements and gold coins.

Clay actually thought quite clearly about all this.

Therefore, he has never objected to many of Yadimu’s previous actions. As long as the bottom line is not touched, it means that he is quite fat and does not have the majesty of a big shot at all.

“Seal these things up.”

Clay looked at the things placed in the courtyard and said calmly: “Go back and send these things to the royal capital.”

“Remember to go as fast as possible.”

“yes.”

The old housekeeper nodded respectfully.

Yadimu walked out of Clay’s courtyard and returned to his motorcade.

Someone was waiting for him there at the moment.

“leader.”

Cotton was waiting for Adimu on the carriage, and was relieved when he saw Adimu walking out intact.

“Relax.”

Yadimu looked at him and couldn’t help but smile: “As I said, for the time being, it’s not time for City Lord Clay and I to fall out.”

“He won’t make a move on me.”

It’s not time to fall out now, but there will be another chance in the future.

Cotton muttered to himself, sitting in front of the carriage, and slowly lowered his hand that was always on the weapon.

Perhaps because he was born into a noble family and had seen many similar situations, Cotton was always wary of Clay, the city lord.

He instinctively felt that as time passed, Clay would one day attack Yatimu.

The last time he secretly sent someone to threaten him, trying to find out information about the people around Yadimu, this was one of the proofs.

So every time he came over, he was particularly vigilant, worried that if something went wrong, Yadimu would start a fight with others in Clay’s manor.

Once this happens, it will be quite dangerous for Yadimu inside.

Atimu just smiled at Cotton’s concerns and didn’t comment too much.

No matter what, it’s always a good thing to have a sense of worry.

This can help people go further.

“Let’s go.”

Yadimu said casually: “It’s getting late, we should go back and take a look.”

“yes.”

Cotton nodded, then personally drove the carriage for Atimu and walked slowly towards the place where he was going back.

Next, another peaceful time passed.

Two months later.

“Clay, try that idea.”

Yadimu looked at Clay in front of him with encouragement in his eyes.

In front of him, Clay looked nervous, and then slowly stretched out his hand.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one who was nervous at this time.

Around him, Cotton, Grete and others were standing there. At this moment, little Clay was surrounded by circles inside and outside.

Their purpose is also simple.

Just to verify the results of Little Clay.

At this moment, several months have passed since Yadimu opened a cram school to teach them the knight system.

What didn’t surprise Yadimu was that, except for a few people such as Gretel and Cotton, most of the others had no results.

Among these people, Clay is an exception.

Yadimu’s own understanding of the mage system is far inferior to that of the knight system, but he can’t stand up to Clay’s talent.

If Grete and Cotton are slightly talented, then little Clay is a veritable genius.

His spirit is so naturally outstanding that even his body is severely worn out. This talent is considered outstanding no matter when it is placed.

So at the same time, Gretel and Cotton were just beginners, but little Clay was already able to barely cast spells.

Now is the time to verify the results.

Under the expectant gazes of the people around him, little Clay took a deep breath, and then slowly stretched out his hand.

In his hands, an inexplicable power was released.

Then in front of him, a stone was slowly lifted and started to move.

“It’s moving! It’s moving!”

This scene made everyone feel excited.

Although the scene of little Clay moving the pebbles may not seem like much, to them it was a real expectation.

Since little Clay can succeed, they should be able to do the same in the future if they work hard.

They firmly believe this.

The opportunity to become a noble bloodline seems to be right in front of you.

They couldn’t help but be excited.

“alright.”

Looking at the excited expressions of the people around him, Yatimu smiled and stopped Clay from trying further: “Go down and rest first.”

“When you have had enough rest, we will arrange other classes.”
