The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 184
Yatimu told the location of Huamu Village.

Clayton didn't take it seriously at the moment: "There are a lot of robbers in that area, what do you want to do there?"

"I've seen it in the past."

Yatimu smiled: "The terrain over there is not bad. If you cultivate it well, you can produce a lot of grain every year."

"If that's the case, I'll 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 piece of territory after re-development, so as to become a member of the nobles again.

It is reasonable for Yatim to say so.

Clay nodded without asking further questions.

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

"Are these enough?"

"Is it too much?"

Yatim was a little surprised.

These places that Clay divided were much larger than he had imagined before.

He just wanted the area centered on Birch Village.

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

"It was originally a no-man's land, and not many people would be interested in it if it wasn't assigned to you."

Clay didn't take it seriously: "Who else can clean up these places except you?"

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

The specific cleaning and governance are all real investments.

According to the laws of the Principality of Kern, assuming that the land purchaser has not formed substantial rule and governance over the purchased land within a certain period of time, then 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 chaos in that area, it's a waste of money to buy it.

That's why few people are interested in those unclaimed lands.

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

And someone who has the strength to develop like Yatimu is also welcome to royal officials like Clay.

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

From his point of view, he naturally hoped that the more land Yatim would buy, the better.

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

"Would you like to consider buying this place?"

After dividing the land, Clay began to actively sell it again: "There are many mountains and forests in this area, and it is said that a lot of valuable wood is produced in it. You will definitely not suffer a loss if you buy these places."

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

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

In general, there are quite a few good places around Lima.

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

But the opportunity is not small, it also means that the problem is not small.

At least judging from the current situation, the places recommended by Clay basically have many hidden dangers and problems.

There is no way to solve it without having enough strength.

But Yatim didn't care about that.

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

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

So his appetite can be increased.

"That's it."

He smiled, and accepted all the places that Clay had allocated for him: "I will accept these places first, and as for the others, I will talk about them later."

"it is good."

Clay said with a smile: "If you need it, you can come to me at any time."

"correct."

After talking about the topic just now, he seemed to have inadvertently said: "I heard that you recently sent someone to transport a batch of goods out?"

"Yes."

Yatimu immediately understood: "I came here this time, and I just wanted to mention this to you."

"I came here to give you some gifts this time, I hope you can help me see how it goes?"

"Oh?"

Clayton became interested: "Then I'll take a good look at it."

"Please."

Yatim took Clay to the courtyard.

There are several boxes already placed there at the moment.

Open the box, and there are some jewels and gold coins inside.

Even if they didn't calculate it carefully, it was only on the surface, the value of these things was at least three thousand gold coins.

The jewelry was seized by Yatimu from the Birch Bandit. There are many good things in it, and they are all good in value.

But Yatimu thought it was troublesome to sell these things, so he simply brought them over and gave them to Clay.

With the style of people like Clay, he might just like this kind of thing. .

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

"Not bad."

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

What are you going to do again, continue to give gifts?
Yatimu's face was calm, and he nodded at Clay with a smile: "Yes."

The two were chatting and laughing immediately, chatting non-stop here, and they looked as close as old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Strictly speaking, probably closer than old friends for many years.

After all, old friends are nothing more than that, but there are not many friends who can give thousands of gold coins at a time.

Even a character like Clay was overwhelmed by Yatimu's generosity, and sent him out talking and laughing.

After Yatimu left, he restrained his smile and returned to the previous courtyard.

"Is everything cleared up?"

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

"It's cleared up."

The old servant in front of him nodded: "They are all good things, worth at least [-] gold coins. If you sell slowly, you can do it with [-] gold coins, but the time may be slower."

This is four thousand gold coins in hand.

A look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on Clay's face.

"It's really rich."

Thinking back to Yatimu's generosity, he couldn't help sighing.

Let’s be honest, Clay isn’t a big deal himself anymore.

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

It is not easy for Clay to become the city lord of this place at this age.

He has also seen big scenes.

But even so, in the face of Yatimu's big hand, he was still stunned.

Every time Yatimu came to give gifts, the numbers were never missing.

The thousands of gold coins were thrown down as if they didn't want money, and even Clay was knocked out.

"but."

Clay was very happy to collect the money, but the old butler in front of him couldn't help but have some doubts: "Is it really okay for us to collect the money like this?"

"If Your Highness knows 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 ended up in my hands?"

"Could it be."

The old housekeeper was shocked.

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

"With such a good partner now, His Highness will only be happy, and of course he can't be angry."

This sentence shows Clay's intention.

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

If he wasn't here to make money, then why would he come to such a poor place to be the city lord?
Lima city is not a good place.

Compared with other places in the Principality of Kern, this place is full of mountain people and robbers and robbers everywhere, which is nothing good at all.

Clay came here to make money.

And since it's for making money, then naturally there is no need to shy away from any means, just get the money as fast as you can.

Obviously, the speed at which Yadimu gave him money at present is very satisfactory to him.

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

Not to mention the big man behind him, even Clay himself would not be satisfied with this amount of money.

But now it's much more comfortable, basically you don't have to do anything, you just need to cooperate with Yadimu, and at least thousands of gold coins will be credited to your account every month.

Occasionally, there will be heavy gifts, and tens of thousands of gold coins can be collected casually in a year.

This speed of making money is more than one dimension worse than in the past?
Of course, cooperating with Yatim in this way will definitely cause problems, which is equivalent to planting a bomb in the city of Lima.

It doesn't need to be said by others, Clay can see it himself.

But then again, what does that have to do with him?
Lima City is not his territory.

He said he was a city lord, but in fact he was just an official directly under the royal family, and he wouldn't stay here for long.

After a few years, as soon as his term of office is up, he can just pat his ass and leave.

Don't worry about that much at all.

As for the many problems that will arise in the city of Lima in the future, let the future city lords have a headache.

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

For all of this, Clay actually thought quite clearly.

Therefore, he has never objected to many of Yatim's previous actions. As long as it does not touch the bottom line, it will be quite fat, without the majesty of a big man at all.

"Seal these things up."

Clay looked at these things in the courtyard, and said lightly, "Go back and send these things to the capital."

"Remember to be as fast as possible."

"Yes."

The old housekeeper nodded respectfully.

Yatimu walked out of Clay's courtyard and returned to his convoy.

Someone was there waiting for him at the moment.

"leader."

Cotton was waiting for Yatim in the carriage, and he was relieved to see Yatim came out intact.

"Relax."

Looking at his appearance, Yatimu couldn't help but smile: "As I said, for the time being, it's not time for me and Lord Clay to fall out."

"He won't touch me."

Now is not the time to turn around, but there is still a chance in the future.

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

Perhaps because he was also from 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 people over to threaten, trying to find out about the people around Yatim, this is one of the proofs.

So every time he came over, he was very vigilant, worried that if something was wrong, Yatimu would fight with others in Clay's manor.

Once this is the case, it will be quite dangerous for Yatimu to be inside.

Regarding Cotton's concern, Yatimu just smiled and didn't comment too much.

In any case, it is always a good thing to have a sense of anxiety.

This can help people go further.

"Let's go."

Yatimu said casually: "It's getting late, we should go back and have a look."

"Yes."

Cotton nodded, and then he drove the carriage for Yatimu himself, and walked slowly towards the place to go back.

Then, another period of quiet time passed.

two months later.

"Clay, try that idea from before."

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

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

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

Around, Cotton, Gretel and the others were all standing there, and at this moment, Little Kray was surrounded by a circle inside and a circle outside.

Their purpose is also very simple.

Just to verify the results of Little Cray.

At this moment, it has been several months since Yatim opened a cram school to teach them the knight system.

To Yatimu's surprise, except for a few people including Gretel and Cotton, most of the others had no results.

Among these people, Clay was an exception.

Yatim's own understanding of the mage system is far inferior to that of the knight system, but Clay's talent is too good to stand up.

If Gretel and Cotton are considered slightly talented, then Little Clay is a veritable genius.

His spirit was so outstanding that even his body was seriously worn out. This kind of talent is outstanding no matter what time it is placed.

So at the same time, Gretel and Cotton were just getting started, but little Clay could barely cast spells.

Now is the time to verify the results.

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

In his hands, an inexplicable force was released.

Then, in front of him, a stone was slowly lifted up and moved directly.

"Move! Move!"

This scene made everyone excited.

Although the scene of Little Cray moving the stone may not seem like a big deal, it is a real expectation for them.

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

They firmly believe in it.

The opportunity to become a noble bloodline seems to be at hand.

This can't help them not being excited.

"All right."

Looking at the excited expressions of the people around him, Yatimu smiled and stopped Clay from continuing to try: "Go down and rest first."

"When you have enough rest, we will arrange other classes."
