Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 188

The blood-colored crystals were contained in glass bottles and sealed tightly. It seemed that the procedures were quite complete.

Through the faint sunlight, this blood-colored crystal reflects an inexplicable blood-colored luster, and the appearance is quite beautiful.

Yadimu stood there and stared for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand and opened the bottle.

After the bottle was opened, a fragrance came out from it.

The smell is quite special, with an exciting feeling. As soon as you smell this smell, you will feel that the blood in your body begins to boil, and an inexplicable power pours into your body.

“It should be true.”

Feeling this feeling carefully, Yadimu confirmed this.

The smell was secondary, the key was the feeling rising in Yadimu’s body.

The aura of the blood stone evoked not only Yadimu’s feelings, but also the instinctive revival of the blood in his body.

His body also has extraordinary blood.

But just now, under the stimulation of the blood stone, that part of the extraordinary bloodline was reviving, and the power in it seemed to be much more active all of a sudden.

There is no doubt that this is proof that the blood stone is genuine.

The existence that can make blood react like this must not be an ordinary thing in itself.

“I just don’t know if it can have an effect on other bloodlines.”

After a while, Yadimu put the blood stone into the bottle, and then this thought flashed through his mind.

Compared with other things, the use of bloodstone has its own limitations.

According to legend, bloodstone is something made by the elves for their own use.

Therefore, in the legend, the blood stone’s effect of purifying blood seems to be concentrated among the elves.

As for whether only the elves are qualified to receive the blood-purifying effect of blood stones, Yadimu doesn’t know.

He didn’t even get a chance to try.

After all, today, he himself is also a descendant of elves, and he has part of the inheritance of elven blood in his body.

But if there was a chance, Yadimu wouldn’t mind giving it a try.

Silently taking back the blood stone, Yadimu also gave up the intention of continuing to try.

Time passed slowly.

Next, another half a year passed.

Seeing it, it was time for Clay to leave.

Before Clay left, the appointment of the new city lord had been issued.

To everyone’s surprise, the Cohen royal family appointed none other than Yadimu as the city lord of Lima City.

This result surprised everyone.

But no one dared to raise objections.

After all, they are not fools.

Yadimu’s power has already dominated the city of Lima, and many people have to follow the Shaman Gang to barely get a bite of food.

Most people have already stood with Yadimu.

Under such circumstances, if one reveals one’s hostility towards Yadimu, that would not be bravery, but courting death.

Therefore, the matter of Yadimu taking over as the city lord went quite smoothly.

In fact, at this time, no one dares to compete with him for this position.

Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that it is Yadimu and his Shaman Gang who are covering the sky in Lima.

In this case, even if the city lord is changed, without Yadimu’s nod, he will not have any power at all, and will most likely be emptied out.

If that’s the case, what’s the point of being the city lord?

It’s better to just let him go.

But in this way, what Yadimu did after that seemed to be more justified.

“After this city of Lima, it belongs to you.”

Putting down the letter in his hand, Clay looked at Artimu in front of him and smiled.

“This is the property of the Crown.”

Yadimu said solemnly: “I am just in charge of it on behalf of the royal family. How can I say this is my property?”

Clay didn’t say anything, but looked straight at Yatimu, making him look a little embarrassed.

After a while, he spoke with a smile on his face: “If you think so, then of course it’s the best.”

“After I leave this time, I probably won’t be back for a short time. The situation in Lima City will be left to you.”

“rest assured.”

Yadimu said with a smile: “If His Highness has any instructions, just send someone to explain them directly.”

“good.”

Clay nodded and said nothing more.

After completing the handover of the city lord position, Clay left without much nostalgia.

For him, the position of the Lord of Lima City did not have much temptation in the first place.

The reason why I came to take over in the first place was because I had no choice.

If I have to leave now, I naturally won’t have much psychological burden.

But he could leave directly, but Yadimu would have to clean up the rest of the mess.

“How much does the city’s security team cost every month?”

After Yadimu took over as the city lord, the first thing he did was to check the accounts.

For Yadimu, the foundation of any organizational problem must be discipline and financial issues.

Needless to say, the discipline of Lima City officials has long been rotten to the core, but he has not yet figured out the financial issue.

But when he saw it clearly, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

The number of official personnel in the entire city of Lima was more than he imagined, and its expenses were also unimaginably huge.

“The entire official organization does nothing every month, but it costs three thousand gold coins?”

After knowing this number, not to mention Yadimu, even Sailuo and others couldn’t help but be shocked.

They themselves are the top leaders of the Sharman Gang and manage thousands of people throughout the entire Sharman Gang. Naturally, they know how much money such a large organization costs.

The Sharman Gang itself is very good at spending money. Many members of the organization need money to maintain, and the cost is also quite huge.

But even so, when the number of people is similar, the amount of money spent by the Sharman Gang is far less than that of the official organizations in Lima City.

The money spent by the Shaman Gang brought Yadimu a powerful team.

But the official expenditure is obviously not the same thing.

Everyone present has personally experienced what Lima City’s official security team looks like.

To put it bluntly, as long as they could act decently, it would be impossible for forces like the Brotherhood and the Sharman Gang to rise.

That’s a bunch of decorations.

But just such a bunch of decorations can actually cost so much.

Everyone was shocked.

Yadimu looked at the bill and couldn’t help but remain silent.

That was fine in the past, but now he is in charge of Lima City.

It would be impossible to maintain such a huge expenditure.

Change, must change!

But how it should be changed needs to be carefully considered.

Lima City is no different than others. Many of its official agencies are very sensitive and must be dealt with slowly.

But no matter what, we still have to change.

It didn’t matter in the past, but now it’s Yadimu’s turn, and these issues must be clarified.

“Coton.”

Yadimu looked at Cotton aside: “How are the soldiers training?”

“You can go out at any time.”

Cotton stood up and immediately expressed his position: “As long as you are willing, leader, you can mobilize two thousand people in one day. If you give me three days, I can mobilize at least five thousand.”

The reason why it takes three days is because there are many people who are farmers and soldiers, and it takes a certain amount of time to mobilize if you want to launch it.

Three days is the time required for this mobilization.

“good.”

Listening to this speed, Yadimu nodded with satisfaction: “Be ready to mobilize soldiers. If anything happens, mobilize soldiers immediately.”

“Yes.” Cotton nodded respectfully.

“Gretel.”

After finishing the meal, Artimu turned around and looked at Grete beside him: “Are you interested in returning to your old profession?”

“What?”

Hearing this, Gretel was stunned.

Not only him, but also other people around him were stunned, not understanding what Yadimu meant by this sentence.

“I want to disband the current security team and directly organize new members of the security team.”

Atimu flipped through the information in his hand, looked at Grete and said, “Grete, how about you become the captain and reorganize the security team?”

Gretel used to be a member of the security corps and has a certain understanding of the operation and organization of the security corps.

Among Yadimu’s many subordinates, he is the most suitable to be in the security team.

After all, this is my old profession.

“Disband the security team directly?”

The attention of the people around him was immediately attracted.

Sailuo’s expression suddenly became serious: “Chief, this may cause some problems.”

“It turns out that those members of the security team would probably take the opportunity to cause trouble.”

“I know.”

Yadi Muhun nodded nonchalantly: “That’s why I asked Cotton to prepare.”

Good guy.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Emotional Yadimu had this idea in mind.

They silently began to mourn for that group of people.

Yadimu was already ready to take action.

Regardless of the reaction of that group of people, Yadimu’s men were already ready to take action.

The reason why Yadimu did this was to completely solve the problem.

Relatively speaking, it is safer to change the original security teams and other institutions bit by bit through slow reform and other methods, and the backlash will be relatively small.

But according to Yadimu’s experience, if you want to seek changes in this way, it’s hard to say what the effect will be, but it will definitely be very slow in terms of efficiency.

The people are still the same people, and the organization is still the same organization as before, so changes are destined to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Instead of spending a lot of effort to slowly reform and consume a lot of financial and material resources, it is better to start over and lay off all the members of the security team and then find jobs again.

When the time comes, we will reorganize a brand new security team and fill it with Yadimu’s own people, so that we can have an organization that belongs entirely to Yadimu himself.

Other institutions can slowly change it, but places like the security force must change it as soon as possible because it is too urgent.

Otherwise it will be quite troublesome later.

Yadimu was thinking in his mind, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment.

Not just Gretel.

Including Sailuo and others, he will also prepare to give some positions in the future, and then directly stuff them into the official organizations of Lima City.

In this way, work can be carried out more easily.

However, the specific details need to be discussed slowly.

In front of me, the sound of discussion continued and never stopped.

It wasn’t until a moment later that Yadimu got up and left the place.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed since Yadimu took over the position of city lord.

In the past two months, everyone has been waiting for Yadimu’s move.

But what surprised them was that Yadimu did not do much. Instead, he maintained the daily operation of Lima City and did not do anything unnecessary.

Everyone was surprised by this.

Until this day, someone brought Yadimu’s order.

“What?”

The captain of the security team is named Herud, a tall and burly middle-aged man.

He is considered a local snake in Lima City. He was already the chief of security in Lima City before Clay came to Lima City to take up the post.

Even Clay has to rely on a local coward like him and is always polite.

Yadimu was also polite to him.

After all, he is the chief of security in Lima City, second only to the city lord.

Yadimu also didn’t want to offend him before, and he just wanted to get along with him if he could.

In the past, every time Yadimu gave gifts to Clay and others, Hrud’s share was also indispensable.

Because of this, Hrud didn’t care about Yadimu’s rise to power.

Although he was previously worried about the state of the security team and worried that Yadimu would attack the security team he was in charge of after coming to power, he soon put aside his worries.

until today.

“What did you say?”

Herud stared at Sailuo in front of him and said to him: “Is this the city lord’s order?”

“good.”

Being stared at by Herud, the smile on Sailuo’s face did not change: “Due to funding expenditures, the city owner feels that a considerable part of the security team’s expenditure should be wasted and needs to be reduced.”

“Look, how about changing the monthly expenses of the security team to 800 gold coins per month in the future?”

Sailo said to Hrud with a smile on his face.

“This is impossible!”

Regarding this result, Herud said he could not accept it: “We have to fight so many people every day and maintain order in the entire city. This amount of money is simply not enough for us!”

“But as far as we know, the total number of security teams is less than one hundred, and it seems that they can’t use as much as fifteen hundred gold coins per month.”

Sai Luo continued to ask.

It’s not just that you can’t use that much.

Yadimu knew exactly how many people there were in the security team.

The entire security team has nearly a hundred people in name, but in reality there are only about fifty or sixty people.

Excluding those who work on free wages, there are only thirty-four people who are actually working.

For this small number of people, they have to spend 1,500 gold coins every month, which is an average of 50 gold coins per person per month.

It costs fifty gold coins a month to hire someone.

Even the top mercenaries would not dare to offer this price.

This group of security forces did it.

What’s more important is that they receive such generous rewards, but they don’t do much serious work at all.

In the entire city of Lima, they are the most idle right now.
