Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 190
Adopting a child is something that happens a lot in this world.
However, considering Yadimu’s status, if he takes in his adopted son, the meaning will be completely different.
First of all, he himself is not married, and he does not have a child who can truly inherit everything he has.
With no children or other heirs, according to the conventions of this world, most of what he created would eventually be taken back directly by the king.
Of course, Yadimu’s men were too powerful.
If he leaves, there is a high probability that his territory will not be taken back by the royal family.
After all, once the power of his men breaks out, even the royal family is at risk of being overthrown, so there is no way he would dare to do anything more.
If it will not be taken back by the royal family, there is a high probability that it will be divided by this group of people.
This group of people then continued to cause war, thereby completing a new round of annexation and gathering.
But this will lead to confusion.
From the bottom of my heart, these people are all old men who follow Yadimu, and they have conquered these territories under their own hands.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Yadimu did not want them to end up in a miserable state.
Therefore, he adopted Clay as his adopted son to inherit his own surname.
“Clay, are you willing to inherit my surname and become a member of the Lian family?”
In front of everyone, he looked at Clay in front of him and said solemnly.
The eyes of the people around him suddenly came to focus, and they all fell on Clay.
At this moment, their sights were filled with various emotions, including appreciation, joy, hostility and jealousy.
Everyone knew exactly what Yadimu’s move meant.
If nothing else goes wrong, Clay will become Yadimu’s adopted son and only heir.
And this level of relationship is jealous of countless people.
After all, the situation created by Yadimu is no longer a small situation.
The territory of the entire Principality of Cohen is so vast, but Yadimu alone occupies one-third of it, and it is a territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is quite easy to defend.
Standing in Yadimu’s position, apart from not having his own crown, he could not be compared to a true king in other aspects.
Even the royal family of the Principality of Cohen must be polite to Yadimu now, for fear of offending Yadimu.
And everything in this is nothing but proof of strength.
To put it bluntly, no matter who possesses this strength, he will become one of the most noble people in the world.
Now, Clay has such an opportunity.
“me.”
Faced with the sudden surprise, Clay seemed a little sluggish, and his whole body was knocked unconscious by the sudden surprise.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
In front of him, Yadimu looked at him kindly. Seeing his appearance, he didn’t say anything. He just asked again: “Are you willing?”
“I do.”
Clay reacted quickly and gave his answer immediately.
Yes, of course I do.
In the face of such a good thing, unwillingness is a fool.
Besides, emotionally, this is easy to accept.
At the beginning, Clay was just a little slave in Clay Manor, and his status was quite humble. Even if he died, no one would notice.
At that time, it was Yadimu who saved him, unearthed him from Clay’s manor, and then brought him to the outside world to train him, and he became the Clay he is today.
Today, Clay has not only grown into a strong young man, but also a powerful transcendent himself.
This obviously has something to do with Yadimu’s careful training.
With so many things happening in the middle, the relationship between him and Yadimu was originally similar to that of father and son, and now there is nothing objectionable about the relationship between adoptive father and son.
All I can say is, it’s natural.
Under Yadimu’s smiling gaze, Clay stepped forward and slowly took the badge representing the Yadimu family.
Seriously, this badge is from the predecessor of this body.
But it doesn’t matter.
After all, during the rise of Yadimu, the predecessor family never appeared and never gave Yadimu any help.
In this case, he simply regarded the family where his predecessor belonged to as non-existent.
This is also convenient.
After recognizing Clay as his adopted son, the atmosphere at the scene became obviously much more relaxed.
At a glance, Yadimu could see that many people seemed to be secretly relieved.
This is real.
In the past few years, Yadimu has never been married, has no women, and naturally has no heirs.
This state is actually quite dangerous for a ruler.
Once something unexpected happens to Yadimu, the foundation they have created will be at risk of destruction.
Most of the people present are old people who followed Yadimu to start a business. They have also achieved rich results and rewards in the process of Yadimu’s entrepreneurship. Naturally, they do not want the results of their efforts to disappear.
Therefore, they have always been vaguely worried about the past situation.
But it’s much better now.
Although Clay is not Yadimu’s biological child, his adopted son also has the right to inherit.
Once Yadimu is gone, at least there will be someone who can carry on this legacy and ensure their future continuation.
This is the most important thing for some people.
Yadimu also understood this, which is why what happened today.
Of course, the reason why he wanted to announce this today was actually because of time constraints.
“time is limited.”
Standing there, Yadimu looked at the laughter and joy of the people in front of him and murmured to himself.
In front of his eyes, the golden hourglass slowly emerged, appearing like this at this moment.
At this moment, the golden hourglass began to flicker slowly, seeming to represent some inexplicable meaning.
Yadimu will not stay in this world for too long.
When he came to this world, he used a temporary shuttle channel, so the length of time he could stay depended entirely on the strength of the temporary channel.
And now, counting the time, he has been in this world for so many years.
The passage has almost reached its limit.
In fact, Yadimu had already had this feeling half a year ago.
That vague feeling of rejection always surrounded him.
But at that time, this feeling was not too strong.
Now it is particularly obvious.
Yadimu privately estimated that he might only have two years left in this world at most.
In two years at most, he will leave this world and return to the Dawn World.
It was precisely because of this premonition that he did so many things to prepare himself before leaving.
Looking at it now, it’s almost done.
A banquet is over.
Yadimu returned to his laboratory.
There are many things on display in his laboratory at the moment.
They were pieces of blood-colored spar.
The blood-colored crystals looked crystal clear, and each piece possessed a strange power.
These are blood stones.
Yes, they are all blood stones.
Bloodstones, which are extremely scarce in other hands, are already in abundance in Yadimu’s hands.
It’s hard to say anything else. At least in his hand, there are seven complete pieces, which is enough to crush him in quantity.
Of course, the quantity is sufficient, but the quality is not necessarily the case.
Compared with the blood stones recorded in the legend, these in Yadimu’s hands were all defective products.
If it wasn’t defective, it wouldn’t have fallen into his hands.
In the past few years, Yadimu has fought all the way and gained a lot of trophies.
This is how these blood stones fell into his hands.
There is no doubt that these things are real bloodstones.
But the effect is completely different.
Although the piece of blood stone that Clay gave to Yadimu at the beginning was said to kill him immediately after using it, the effect was still very obvious. As long as it was used, it would not take long to turn into a pure blood.
But most of the effects of the rest of the blood stones are even more outrageous than the one Clay sent.
Because some blood stones are too old and have rough preservation methods, even Yadimu himself doesn’t know how much effect they have left.
Of the seven blood stones, in the end the two from the royal family of the Duke of Korn were the most effective.
No wonder.
After all, it is the royal family, and the things they use are much better than elsewhere. This is a very normal thing.
However, among the seven blood stones, there are also some that are quite effective.
The reason why Yadimu collected so many blood stones was mainly for experiments.
Yes, it’s an experiment.
One thing that needs to be understood is that although bloodstone has extremely amazing effects, it is also the ultimate research of the ancient elves on the field of blood.
In other words, this actually represents the highest achievement of the ancient elves’ research on the bloodline field.
Research on such results will definitely be of great help to the bloodline field.
In fact this is indeed the case.
In the past few years, Yadimu, in addition to training his subordinates, spent most of his time studying these blood stones.
By studying these blood stones, he also gained a lot, and his knowledge of the bloodline field also deepened a lot.
Of course, it has only gone a lot deeper, and there is still a long way to go before completely cracking the secret of the blood stone.
This thing is not that easy.
The bloodstone itself represents the core crystallization of the ancient elves.
Since it is the core, it cannot be cracked so easily.
Let alone cracking it, even if the information on how to create the blood stone was placed in front of Yadimu and asked him to learn it by himself, he would probably have a hard time digesting it.
There’s no way, it’s just so difficult.
Yadimu sighed silently.
“Unfortunately, we ran out of time.”
Looking at the blood stones in front of him, he shook his head with regret.
These blood stones are all excellent research items, and they contain the hard work of a lot of ancient elves.
It’s a pity that he can’t take away such a thing.
Different from the shuttle of the main body, what comes through the temporary channel is only Yadimu’s own consciousness, and nothing can be taken away when returning.
He definitely can’t take these blood stones back.
Of course, even if he can bring these things back, there is no guarantee that these things will not be damaged when traveling through time and space.
After all, seriously speaking, Yadimu has not experienced many similar situations.
You can’t take it away for sure.
But looking at these blood stones, a bold idea came to Yadimu’s mind.
Although, he really couldn’t take away these blood stones.
But if you can use these blood stones directly while you are still in this world, then it seems feasible, right?
Maybe it works?
As soon as this thought arose, even Yadimu himself was startled.
Bloodstone, this is no joke.
When only one blood stone was used, the cost was the rapid loss of life.
There are seven blood stones placed here at this moment.
If these seven blood stones were used together, if nothing else, the effect would definitely be much greater.
Maybe they can quickly get rid of Yadimu himself.
But what does it matter?
Yadimu was about to leave.
For him, his departure is just a return to his true form, but for others in this world, there seems to be no difference between his departure and death.
If that’s the case, what’s the problem?
no problem!
Thinking of this, thoughts flashed through Yadimu’s mind, and he had already made a decision silently.
Time passed slowly, and several months passed in a flash.
After adopting Clay as his adopted son, Yadimu began to train Clay’s abilities, sending him to various places to personally manage an area and observe the operations there.
Needless to say, this approach can be clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It is Yadimu who is deliberately training Clay and hopes to hone his abilities.
In this regard, Clay was not very good at what he did.
Compared to his talent in the mage profession, Clay’s talent in management is quite mediocre. No matter how you look at it, he can only be regarded as a middle-aged talent.
However, Yadimu didn’t take it to heart.
This situation is actually quite normal.
It is impossible for a person to be so perfect. After having a superb mage talent, he can also have extraordinary management talents.
Clay’s situation is considered normal.
Moreover, he is not without advantages.
Although his talents are ordinary, his power as an extraordinary person can make up for his prestige. At the same time, Clay’s own personality is cheerful and open-minded enough.
He may not be able to become an excellent ruler, but with his own strength and the team left by Yadimu, it will not be a problem to stabilize his rule.
At the same time, his character is also there, so that he will not become a tyrant or something.
For Yadimu, this was enough.
Compared with the disappearance of the career he created, what is even more difficult for him to accept is that his future heirs will use what he left behind to persecute innocent people.
That was the biggest blow to Yadimu.
Clay has many flaws, but his kindness and cheerfulness are what Artimu values the most.
The transfer of power went fairly smoothly.
Yadimu thought that he would have about one year left in this world.
Using this world as the basis is enough to complete the transfer of power.
