The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 187
Subconsciously, Yatim felt a little unbelievable, but recalled Clay's various tricks in the past year, and couldn't help but fell silent again.

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

His operation is very simple in Yatimu's view, and the whole process can be described in two words.

Make money!Make money!Still making money.

He seems to have lost his eyes on money, no matter what he does, he always considers economic benefits first, as if he has some mission on him, and he takes making money as his responsibility in everything.

It made Yatimu feel a little suspicious sometimes, wondering if there was something wrong with him.

Yadimu would not dare to believe such a precious material as bloodstone if someone else said it was going to be sold, but if it was the other party, it seemed that it might not be impossible.

And the effect of the blood stone, if you think about it, that's the same thing.

If it is the perfect version of the bloodstone, then of course it goes without saying that normal people would not think of selling it given its preciousness.

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

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

According to Clay, after using that bloodstone, there will be only one year of life left immediately.

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

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

If it is precious, then it must be quite precious.

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

If such a thing can be sold for money, it may be good for those people.

Therefore, it is still reasonable.

After thinking for a while, Yatimu couldn't help but look up at Clay in front of him, and he said after a long time, "How much?"

Listening to Yatimu's words, Clay smiled, and he was relieved.

It seems that today's business is done.

"How much can you pay?"

He looked at Yatim and asked.

"two thousand?"

Yatimu tentatively quoted a price.

"This is an ancient alchemy item."

A look of displeasure suddenly appeared on Clay's face: "Mr. Yadimu, what you need to understand is that even a royal item from the ancient elf empire can fetch at least a few hundred gold coins at auction now, let alone such a A top-notch alchemy creation."

"Three thousand?" Yatimu's voice continued to sound.

Clay didn't speak, but just stared at Yatimu, motioning him to continue the offer.

But this time, Yatimu didn't speak immediately.

He pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and quoted a price: "Six thousand gold coins."

Seeing what Clay wanted to say, he waved his hand and interrupted the other party: "Six thousand gold coins, this number is quite a lot."

He said, "This is certainly an alchemy creation from the Elven Empire period, but after all, it is only an incomplete product. Apart from being used for experiments and collections, what value can it have?"

"As for an item that can only be used for experiments and collections, the price of six thousand gold coins is already very high."

"This is the final offer. If you don't want to accept it, Mr. Clay, forget it."

He said calmly, explaining that this will 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 tag is still a certain distance from the goal in his heart.

But Yatim's current appearance is also obvious.

If he doesn't agree, what should he do if he really doesn't want it?
Although the bloodstone is precious, but because of its own defects, to be honest, not many people are willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Even if they are willing to pay high prices to buy, they are not the only buyers.

In fact, if Yadimu is willing, the price of [-] gold coins may be enough to buy bloodstones from other people.

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 Yatimu in front of him: "In this case, let's make a deal."

"it is good."

Yatimu nodded: "How soon can I get something?"

"Three days at most."

Clay raised his arm and held out three fingers.

"Three days?"

Yatimu thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

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

Now he is not a master who is short of money. The price of six thousand gold coins to buy an alchemy item is a little expensive, but it is not a big deal to him.

Of course, if Clay really wanted to treat him like a fat pig and slaughter him a few more times, then he wouldn't suffer obediently.

After all, with the degree of defects in this thing, Yatimu believes that there will not be many buyers besides him.

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

And it turns out that's true.

"Hold on."

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

Facing Yatimu's suspicious eyes, he said, "It's rare to come here, why don't you sit for a while?"

"I happen to have something to discuss with you, Yatim."

"Oh?"

Yatimu was a little surprised: "I don't know what it is?"

"I'm leaving soon."

Facing Yatim's gaze, Clay said a piece of news, which made the surprise on Yatim's face even more intense.

"Mr. Clay is leaving Lima?"

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

After getting an affirmative answer, he smiled: "Congratulations."

"It seems that Mr. Clay's hard work has also been noticed by His Highness and the others."

"Haha, this is also thanks to Yatimu's help."

Clay didn't shy away from anything: "If it weren't for the gifts you sent Yatimu before, I wouldn't be able to leave here so soon."

The gifts that Yatimu sent before were many in number.

These gifts cannot be enjoyed by Clay alone.

Both Yatimu and Clay knew exactly who it belonged to.

"Anyway, congratulations."

Yatimu raised his glass: "It seems that I can only meet Mr. Clay in the capital in the future."

"Haha."

Clay smiled and didn't deny it.

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

Because of his excellent performance before, he was successfully valued by His Royal Highness behind him, so this time he will be directly transferred to the capital and become an official there.

He doesn't know the specific level for the time being, 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 city lord of Lima City became vacant."

Clay looked at Yatim in front of him, and suddenly smiled and said, "As the former city lord, I happen to have the right to recommend for His Majesty."

"Mr. Yatim, I wonder if you are interested in the position of the city lord?"

After the voice fell, there was a sudden pause.

Is Yatimu interested in the position of the city lord of Lima?
Of course there is.

The reason why he made friends with Clay back then, spent a lot of money to establish a good relationship with Clay and other official figures, and sent gifts regularly, was to use the official power of the Principality of Coen to seek benefits for himself, thereby obtaining benefits.

Facts have proved that these measures of his did not do anything 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 the present level.

But if you make friends with the city lord, how can you have the directness 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 Yatim, but he didn't accept it all.

Even so, he is already a pretty good collaborator.

If it were someone else, the result would probably be worse than this.

Rather than trying to deal with the next successor when the time comes, it is better to sit in this position directly.

Yatimu naturally understands the gains and losses in this.

It's just that he also has his own concerns about this.

"The city lord of Lima, can I?"

Yatimu had some doubts: "I have never held any position in the principality."

Not only has he never held any position, but his influence in Lima City is also extremely large.

He is not only the guest of various official figures, but also controls most of the business routes in the entire Lima City, monopolizing more than half of the profits.

He has thousands of troops under him, and once an outbreak occurs, it will be enough to threaten the rule of the Principality of Kern here.

For such a character, if we follow the normal situation, we will definitely guard against it.

After all, he has already developed to the point where he has not obtained the official name. If he gets the official name again, how will he deal with it?

Isn't that an enemy?

But obviously, Clay's thinking is different.

"What does that matter?"

Clay seemed indifferent to Yatimu's concerns: "Who said you didn't hold any position in the kingdom?"

"You are the Earl personally appointed by our Majesty."

Yes, Yatimu now has a title on him, and he is still an earl.

The earl's title is nothing else, it was the gift that Yatimu had given when he bought the territory before.

After all, after spending so much money, it is definitely not possible to just buy an official document and return it with a matching title.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

So on the bright side, the current Yatimu is still the official earl of the Principality of Cohen, a dignified lord earl.

Although Yatimu himself didn't feel much about this title.

As soon as Clay reminded him, Yatimu suddenly realized that he still had a title in the Principality of Korn.

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

But it doesn't matter if it's someone who holds the title of Earl.

Lima City is not a very important place, as long as the annual taxes and food are enough, who cares who he is.

With a noble title, it is enough to be able to deal with it on the bright side.

"If an earl is not qualified to be the lord of Lima, then I really don't know who is qualified."

Clay patted Yatimu on the shoulder, smiled and said to him: "You don't have to worry about it, just do what you want."

"So, what's the price?"

Yatimu smiled and asked: "Sir and Your Highness support me as the city lord, do you want me to do something for you?"

"Yatimu, you are a smart man."

Clay said: "I know that you have a lot of power in your hands. This power may be inconspicuous now, but at critical times, it is what many people need."

Yatimu's face was calm, and a strange feeling gradually rose 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 right time, how about it?"

help your highness
This help is a question mark.

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

How much does this highness behind the scenes want Yatimu to help him?
Yatimu couldn't help frowning.

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 didn't have the idea of ​​curbing the development of Yatimu, or even if they wanted to, they couldn't.

So what they want more is to use this power and Yatim's power to achieve their goals.

It is precisely because of this that there is this transaction.

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

And with the help of this position, Yadimo's power will inevitably grow stronger and reach a new level.

Yatimu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

But he didn't think too long and made a decision quickly.

"That's a nice proposition."

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

"At critical times, I and my subordinates will help him."

In any case, 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 wanted to go back on his word afterwards and didn't help that highness, what could that highness do to Yatimu?

Of course, if this kind of thing is not necessary, Yatimu will not do it.

He doesn't like doing things that break promises like this.

Listening to Yatimu's words, Clay also showed a smile on his face.

"I wish us a happy cooperation."

As the two reached a cooperation again, Yatimu also left here.

The six thousand gold coins were quickly mobilized and carried to Clay's manor by Sai Luo himself.

And that bloodstone also came into Yatimu's hands.

"Is this the blood stone?"

In his manor, Yadimu saw the blood stone.

Like his name, the blood stone looks like a blood-colored spar on the surface.

This is like a spar dyed red by blood, with blood oozing from it, and it looks inexplicably charming, making people unable to help but look into it.

When it was delivered to Yatimu, the bloodstone was smashed into a glass bottle and tightly wrapped.
