Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 187

Subconsciously, Yadimu felt a little unbelievable, but thinking about Clay’s various tricks in the past year, he couldn’t help but fell silent.

Over the past year, Yadimu has also closely observed various operations on Clay.

His operation seemed very simple to Yadimu, and the whole process could be described in two words.

Make money! Make money! Still making money.

He seems to have lost sight of money. No matter what he does, he first considers financial gains. As if he has some mission, making money is his responsibility in everything.

This made Yadimu sometimes doubtful, wondering if there was something wrong with him.

If someone else wanted to sell a precious material like bloodstone, Yadimu wouldn’t dare to believe it, but if it was the other party, it didn’t seem impossible.

And the effect of blood stone is just that, if you think about it.

If it is a perfect version of blood stone, then of course it goes without saying that because of its preciousness, no normal person would think of selling it.

To put it bluntly, it is beyond the scope of normal trading and is an absolutely priceless treasure.

But for the incomplete version of Bloodstone, this may not be the case.

According to Clay, after using that blood stone, you will immediately have only one year left to live.

In this case, I believe most people will not use it.

For those big shots, this is undoubtedly a rather useless thing.

If it is said to be precious, then this must be quite precious.

But if you want to use it for yourself, then forget it.

If such a thing can be sold for money, it may not be bad for those people.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable.

After thinking for a moment, Yadimu couldn’t help but look up at Clay in front of him, and after a long time he said, “How much?”

Listening to Yadimu’s words, Clay smiled and felt relieved.

It seems that the business is done today.

“How much can you offer?”

He looked at Yadimu and asked.

“two thousand?”

Yadimu tentatively quoted a price.

“This is an ancient alchemy item.”

A look of displeasure suddenly appeared on Clay’s face: “Mr. Yadimu, you have to understand that even a royal item from the ancient Elf Empire can now be auctioned for at least a few hundred gold coins, let alone something like this A top-notch alchemical creation.”

“Three thousand?” Yadimu’s voice continued.

Clay didn’t say anything, just looked at Yadimu and motioned for him to continue quoting.

But this time, Yadimu didn’t speak immediately.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke and quoted a price: “Six thousand gold coins.”

Seeing what Clay wanted to say, he waved his hand and interrupted him: “Six thousand gold coins, this number is quite a lot.”

He said: “Although this is an alchemical creation from the Elf Empire period, it is only a incomplete product after all. Apart from being used for experiments and collections, what value does it have?”

“And for an item that can only be used for experimentation and collection, the price of six thousand gold coins is already very high.”

“This is the final offer. If you are not willing to accept it, Mr. Clay, then forget it.”

He spoke calmly, explaining that this would be the final price.

Clay opened his mouth and couldn’t help but fall into thought.

Six thousand gold coins. To be honest, this price is still far from the goal in his heart.

But Yadimu’s current appearance is also obvious.

What if he doesn’t agree and he really doesn’t want it anymore?

Although bloodstone is precious, due to its own flaws, to be honest, not many people are willing to pay high prices to buy it.

Even if they are willing to pay a high price, they are not the only buyers.

In fact, if Yadimu was willing, the price of six thousand gold coins would probably be enough to buy the blood stone from others.

Many people have incomplete blood stones, but there are only a few people who are willing to pay such a high price to buy them.

Thinking of this, Clay silently made a decision in his heart.

He smiled, then looked up at Yadimu in front of him: “In that case, let’s make the deal.”

“good.”

Yadimu nodded: “How long will it take for me to get the things?”

“Three days at most.”

Clay raised his arm and held out three fingers.

“Three days?”

Yadimu thought for a moment, then nodded: “Okay.”

He didn’t pay too much attention to this business.

Nowadays, he is not a man who is short of money. The price of six thousand gold coins to buy an alchemy item is a bit expensive, but it is nothing to him.

Of course, if Clay really wanted to treat him like a fat pig and kill him a few more times, he wouldn’t just accept the slaughter.

After all, with the degree of defects in this thing, Yadimu believed that there wouldn’t be many buyers besides him.

Since the other party is willing to sell, he is one of the best buyers.

It turns out that this is indeed the case.

“Hold on.”

Seeing that Yadimu was about to leave, Clay smiled and motioned for him to wait.

Facing Yadimu’s confused look, he said, “It’s rare to come here, why don’t you sit down for a while?”

“I happen to have something I want to discuss with you, Yadimu.”

“oh?”

Yadimu was a little surprised: “I wonder what it is about?”

“I’m leaving soon.”

Facing Yatimu’s gaze, Clay told a piece of news, which made the look of surprise on Yatimu’s face even stronger.

“Mr. Clay is leaving Lima City?”

He looked at Clay in front of him and spoke subconsciously.

After receiving a positive reply, he smiled: “Congratulations.”

“It seems that your hard work, Mr. Clay, is also seen by His Highness and others.”

“Haha, this is all thanks to your help, Yadimu.”

Clay didn’t shy away from anything: “If it weren’t for the gifts you sent before, Yadimu, I wouldn’t be able to leave here so quickly.”

The gifts that Yadimu sent before were quite large in quantity.

Clay couldn’t enjoy these gifts alone.

Both Yadimu and Clay knew exactly who it belonged to.

“Anyway, congratulations first.”

Atimu raised his glass: “It seems that I can only meet you, Mr. Clay, in the royal capital from now on.”

“Ha ha.”

Clay smiled and didn’t deny it.

Regarding his transfer this time, he did not hide it and spoke directly.

Because of his previous outstanding performance, he was successfully valued by His Highness behind him, so this time he will be transferred directly to the royal capital and become one of its officials.

He doesn’t know the specific level yet, but what is certain is that it will be in a better position than the city lord of Lima City.

“After I left, the position of the Lord of Lima City became vacant.”

Clay looked at Artimu in front of him, suddenly smiled and said: “As the former city lord, I happen to have the power to recommend it to your majesty.”

“Mr. Yadimu, I wonder if you are interested in the position of the city lord?”

After the words fell, there was a sudden pause.

Is Artimu interested in the position of the lord of Lima City?

Of course there is.

The reason why he made friends with Clay in the first place, and spent a lot of money to build a good relationship with Clay and other official figures, and regularly sent gifts, was to use the official power of the Principality of Cohen to benefit himself and gain benefits.

Facts have proved that these measures he made were not wrong, otherwise the Sharman Gang would not be able to wipe out the Brotherhood so easily, and it has grown and grown in this year, all the way to where it is now.

But if you make good friends with the city lord, how can you be so direct as to act as the city lord yourself?

After all, Clay is not a puppet, but a person with his own will.

Most of the time, he would choose to cooperate with Yadimu, but he did not accept it completely.

Even so, he is already a pretty good collaborator.

If it were another person, the result would probably be even worse than this.

Instead of having to deal with the next successor when the time comes, it would be better to just sit in this position yourself.

Yadimu naturally understands the gains and losses involved.

But he also has his own concerns about this.

“Lord of Lima City, can I do that?”

Yadimu had some doubts: “I have never held any position in the principality.”

Not only has he not held any position, but his power in Lima City is extremely large.

Not only was he a guest of various official figures, but he also controlled most of the trade routes in Lima City and monopolized more than half of the revenue.

He has thousands of troops under his command, which would be enough to threaten the rule of the Principality of Cohen here once an outbreak occurs.

For such a person, under normal circumstances, he would definitely be on guard.

After all, he has already developed to this point before he got an official name. If he gets an official name again, how will he deal with it?

Isn’t that capitalizing on the enemy?

But it was obvious that Clay was thinking differently.

“What does that matter?”

Clay didn’t seem to care about Yadimu’s concerns: “Who said you don’t hold any position in the kingdom?”

“You are the earl appointed by our Majesty himself.”

Yes, Yadimu now has a title, and he is also an earl.

The title of this earl was none other than what Yadimu had received as a gift when he purchased the territory.

After all, after spending so much money, I definitely can’t just buy an official document and give it a matching title.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all that money be wasted?

So on the surface, Yadimu is still the official earl of the Principality of Cohen and a dignified earl.

Although Yadimu himself didn’t feel much about this title.

After Clay reminded him, Artimu suddenly realized that he still had a title in the Principality of Cohen.

Indeed, it would be absolutely impossible for a person without any position to serve as the city lord.

But if it was a man with an earldom, it wouldn’t matter.

The city of Lima is not a very important place. As long as the taxes and food paid each year are enough, who cares who he is.

It is enough to have a noble title and be able to deal with it openly.

“If a count is not qualified to be the lord of Lima City, then I really don’t know who is.”

Clay patted Yatimu on the shoulder, smiled and said to him: “You don’t have to worry, just do your best if you want to do it.”

“So, what’s the price?”

Yadimu asked with a smile: “Sir and His Highness support me as city lord. Do you want me to help you do something?”

“Yadimu, you are a smart man.”

Clay said: “I know that you have a lot of power in your hands. This power may not be noticeable now, but at a critical moment, it is needed by many people.”

Yadimu’s face was calm, and a strange feeling gradually arose in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Clay continued to speak: “I hope you can use this power to help His Highness at the appropriate time, how about that?”

Help His Highness

This help needs a question mark.

Sending some gifts and sending money like in the past is helpful, and directly raising troops to start a war with others is also helpful.

How far does His Highness, the man behind the scenes, want Yadimu to help him?

Yadimu couldn’t help but frown.

What is certain is that the power he has accumulated so far is still seen by Clay and the people behind him.

But their ideas are somewhat unique.

They have no idea of ​​curbing Yadimu’s development, or they can’t curb it even if they want to.

So what they want more is to use this power and use Yadimu’s power to achieve their own goals.

It is precisely because of this that this transaction took place.

As long as Yadimu is willing to agree to their request and join their camp in the future, they will help Yadimu obtain the position of Lord of Lima City.

And with the help of this position, Yadimu’s power will inevitably grow and reach a new level.

Yadimu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

But he didn’t think about it for too long and made a decision quickly.

“That’s a good offer.”

He raised his head and looked at Clay in front of him: “Please tell His Highness that I agree.”

“At critical moments, the power of me and my men will help him.”

No matter how you say it, the benefits of agreeing now are real.

As for future help, that can be discussed later.

To put it bluntly, judging from the future situation, even if Yadimu wants to go back on his word and not help His Highness, what can His Highness do to Yadimu?

Of course, Yadimu would not do such a thing unless it was necessary.

He doesn’t like breaking promises.

Listening to Yadimu’s words, Clay also had a smile on his face.

“Wish us happy cooperation.”

As the two reached cooperation again, Yadimu also left here.

Six thousand gold coins were quickly mobilized and carried to Clay’s manor by Sai Luo himself.

And the blood stone also came into Yadimu’s hands.

“Is this the blood stone?”

In his manor, Yadimu saw the blood stone.

Bloodstone is just like its name, it looks like a blood-colored spar on the surface.

It looked like a spar dyed red by blood, with blood seeping into it. It looked inexplicably charming, and people couldn’t help but look into it.

When it was delivered to Yadimu, the blood stone was knocked into a glass bottle and tightly wrapped.
