"You, sir?"

The boy looked at Artim in front of him and was startled.

Seeing that everyone else was ignoring Adimu, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Artimus watched the boy's performance with interest.

He could see that this was a pretty smart child.

Even if he had just discovered the abnormality, he did not expose it, but coped with it as normal.

"What's your name?"

He looked at the boy in front of him and couldn't help asking.

"Clay."

The boy replied cautiously.

"Interested in coming with me?"

Adimus looked at the boy's patched rags and knew he wasn't doing well here.

Those who will remain in this place at this age are most likely descendants of slaves.

The mind and body of the slave belonged entirely to the master, and so did their offspring.

The child in front of him may be like this, and he will stay here.

"Can you eat enough every day?"

The boy looked at Artimus and cautiously asked the question.

Artimus was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It was not difficult for Artimus to take a boy out of this place.

If it's someone else, it might be a bit of a problem.

But just a slave, and no one cares about his disappearance.

The housekeeper in the manor thought that he had escaped, and did not take it seriously.

Although there are not many cases of slaves escaping, they do happen from time to time, and they are quite normal.

None of them cared, let alone anyone else.

Back home, Artimus took Clay to change his clothes.

He instructed the servants to take Clay in a bath, then changed him into clean clothes and dressed him carefully.

A boy just came out of the oven.

Compared with before, his mental state at the moment seems to be much better, the whole person looks quite neat, except for the physical state that is a little thin due to long-term malnutrition, the rest of the body looks good.

Now he is now, even if he walks in front of his former acquaintances, it is estimated that no one will be able to recognize him.

The little boy looked quite excited about what happened to him.

He was then tested by Adim.

The test is fairly simple, and it is a test commonly used by the mages of Dawn to test their apprentices.

The results showed that Clay Jr.'s mental strength was quite good.

This is a proof that the innate spirit is strong, far stronger than ordinary people.

In other words, Clay Jr. himself belongs to the natural mage seedling.

Quite a scarce kind.

Found a treasure.

Looking at little Clay in front of him, a smile appeared on Yadimu's face.

He didn't expect that he would be able to pick up such a good seedling just by going out for a walk like this.

He didn't know much about the content of the mage, but he also knew a lot.

A gifted student like Clay only needs to guide him on the right path and will soon be able to stand out and become a mage apprentice.

And it won't be too long.

Of course, if it is placed in this world, in the context of this world, little Clay will most likely be buried, or even dragged down by his own talent and die early.

A naturally strong spirit is not entirely without a price.

For ordinary people, their bodies cannot support a strong spirit, and eventually their bodies will gradually collapse, resulting in various pathologies.

So for the average person, it's more of a curse than a gift.

Of course, as long as you can follow the path of a mage, that's all it takes.

If Clay Jr. hadn't run into Yatemu, it was estimated that there would have been problems in two or three years at most.

"You can rest for a while."

Artimu looked at little Clay and said casually: "After that, remember to meditate every day, and remember to listen to the daily lessons." ”

"Yes."

Little Clay looked serious and nodded there.

Despite his young age, he has learned many things because of his past suffering.

Therefore, he already cherishes the current conditions, and usually studies and meditates quite hard, for fear that he will accidentally anger Yadimu and let him drive him away.

If that were the case, his life would be worse than before.

"Let's go."

Artimus nodded, then left.

Clay on the side hurriedly followed.

It wasn't long before they found themselves in another classroom.

There were already several people sitting in the classroom at the moment.

There are about a dozen people in total, all of whom are the squad leaders who have been personally promoted by Yadimu at the moment, as well as some people who have performed well before the long term, so they are remembered by him.

In addition to these people, Sailor, Gretel, Cotton and others are also here, with serious faces at the moment, looking seriously ahead.

"Alright."

Walking into the teacher, Yadimu went straight to the topic: "You have all memorized the content of the last time, right?" ”

"Now for the next lesson."

He waved his hand and said casually, "You sit at the front." ”

Clay's face was serious, and he nodded quickly.

Under the curious gaze of the others around him, he sat down in a position in front of Artimu.

This location is arguably the closest to Yatimu.

"Let's get started."

Artimus nodded, and continued with his lesson.

The lessons here are naturally the lessons of the knights.

He's trying to come up with a new system that he's researched and teach it to the people in front of him.

The newly created system he also called knights.

Compared to traditional knights, this professional knight core has not changed much, and it also uses life energy to fight.

It's just that because the bloodlines are different, one has the seed of life and the other doesn't.

Because of the blessing of the royal bloodline, the strength of the traditional knights will be slightly stronger at the same level, but the new knights will be blessed with the blessing of the later stage because they are integrated into the fighter system, thus making up for the lack of life energy.

Overall, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Later in the game, Artimus was also preparing to integrate part of the mage's system into the class, making the new knight a class that could cast spells.

Spells are not exclusive to mages, and knights are not exempt from using spells.

In fact, there are quite a few spells that are highly compatible with the knight, and if used wisely in battle, can greatly strengthen the knight himself.

And the new knight created by Artimu, this profession itself incorporates the characteristics of a fighter, so in the later stage, it will be the same as Artimu, and the spiritual power is far stronger than that of ordinary knights, even to the point of being comparable to a mage.

With such a powerful spiritual power, it would be a pity if it was not used to cast spells.

That's why Artimus came up with this idea.

That was later, of course.

In the early stage, in order to reduce the difficulty as much as possible, the knight's combat power is actually weak, far less than the traditional royal knight.

But it's also something that can't be helped.

As Artimu gave his lecture, the people below listened quite attentively.

After all, this is an opportunity to contact the extraordinary, and for many people below, they may only have this one opportunity in their lifetime, and they can try to contact the extraordinary and change the trajectory of their future lives.

As long as they can succeed, their future will be different.

So naturally, we have to put in a lot of effort.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard they try, talent still limits their achievements.

Compared with the traditional royal knights, the knight system created by Yadimu has a lower entry threshold, turning the entry from the owner of the royal bloodline to an ordinary person.

But even if you are an ordinary person, you have good or bad talent.

Among the dozen or so people at the moment, Yadimu estimates that only Gretel and Cotton have a better chance.

The probability of having two seedlings is not bad, and it is possible to get started.

But the others hang.

Like Sailo, he is basically destined to have no chance to succeed in the future, even if he works hard for most of his life, he may not be able to get started.

The reason why he was called over was purely to show fairness.

After all, he called the others, but he missed the words of Sailo, which was inevitably too obvious.

Although Yadimu didn't care about Sailuo, he didn't want to snub others easily, so he still treated them all equally and called them all over.

These people in front of them are basically the core of the Shaman Gang at this moment, if someone opens a peerless in this place, and all these people in front of him are killed, then the Shaman Gang is estimated to be shocked for a while before recovering.

After the whole class, everyone went back obediently.

Only Clay followed Artimu.

As he was still a child, his lodging was arranged next to his room by Artimus, so that it would be easy to teach and easy to take care of.

And looking at this, the eyes of the rest of the people slowly began to change.

Some of the more clever ones, like Sailor and the others, were already secretly thinking about it at the moment, suspecting that this was the illegitimate son of Artimus.

Of course, on the bright side, they didn't dare to say anything, just passed smoothly.

Time passed slowly.

After the head of the Brotherhood was killed, the situation in the entire city of Lima began to slowly change.

The Shamans expanded aggressively, slowly encroaching on the Brotherhood's original territory and digesting it.

After annexing the original property of the Brotherhood, coupled with its own part, the strength of the Shaman Gang suddenly became very strong.

It's just that compared to the past brotherhoods, the style of the Shaman Gang is also much smoother.

They did not create riots, nor did they rely on force to suppress them, but began to do business honestly like serious businessmen.

The business they did was not very new, it was the ones they had done before.

It's just that compared with the past, the benefits of these industries are much greater.

After taking the place of the Brotherhood, many things could be done with confidence, so the industries under Artimus also expanded in a big way, and soon reached a new level.

At the same time, the Sharman Gang is also actively recruiting new members.

The whole city of Lima looks calm, but in fact it is full of undercurrents.

"Oh, is anyone in your tribe willing to go down the mountain?"

Early one morning, Artim received good news from Loken.

A few days ago, he had been tasked by Yatimu to go to his hometown to recruit men for Yatimu, and now he had successfully returned.

The effect is quite good.

Including the Loken brothers, the early mountain people who joined the Yatim are doing well.

Because they joined early, they enjoyed the benefits of the expansion of the Shaman Gang, and they were also valued by Yadimu and arranged in various places.

Relatively speaking, their treatment is quite good, not only food and shelter, but also the military expenditure every month is sufficient, which is definitely enough to satisfy them.

Of course, the value they have created for Yadimu is also satisfactory.

Archers trained by the mountain people are good combat power, and they have played a significant role in previous battles.

In the previous battle against the Brotherhood, if it weren't for their presence, things would have been a little more troublesome.

So it's understandable that Artimu values them.

And with their role models, it is natural that more people will feel excited.

Life on the mountain was not easy.

The hunters of the mountain people spend their days in the company of wild beasts, and although they sound good, they are precarious, and they are not abundant enough, and the conditions are quite rudimentary.

They naturally yearn for the prosperity of the outside world, but they have no choice but to be blocked by the cruel life.

Now that they have a place that looks good, they will naturally be tempted to come and try it.

A total of sixty people from the mountain, including the Locan brothers, were brought back to Artimu.

Each of these sixty people is a good hunter, and a little training can bring out a good effect.

This temporarily relieved Ardimu's urgent need.

As the Shamans expanded, he began to run out of manpower.

Recently, he has been recruiting from outside, but there are still not many people who can meet the conditions.

In the past, when the conditions were limited, it was natural that there was no choice, and it was good to have someone.

But now that the conditions are good, there must be a tendentious choice.

Don't be too poor in physical fitness, don't have a bad reputation, don't want if you're too young or too old.

A few conditions are enough to brush many people down, not to mention that they will continue to be eliminated in training later.

So at the moment, the Shaman Gang is looking at the scenery, but in fact, the manpower is quite tight.

The estates taken from the Brotherhood need to be adequately manned, and there are many places that need to be watched.

If there are fewer people, sooner or later there will be problems.

The group of people that Lorcan brought with him was quite good.

The mountain people themselves are innocent and relatively simple and direct.

In addition, these people can become hunters, and their own bodies must be qualified, and they are good fighters with a little training.

All things considered, it's quite a good soldier.

These were just the first of Loken's recruits from the hill tribes.

After this group of people is settled, I believe that more people will join in the future.

However, the fighter side is enough for the time being, and there is still a considerable gap in the rest of the areas.

Obviously, the operation of an organization cannot be limited to soldiers, and sufficient clerks are equally important as organizers.

But there is a shortage of talent in Lima.

No way, this place itself is in the wilderness, surrounded by mountain tribes, and many people may not be able to even perform simple mathematics.

It's quite difficult to find a few literate people.

It seems that the only recourse in this regard is to the nobles.
