Artimu named the location of the birch village.

Kelai was immediately unimpressed: "There are a lot of robbers in that place, what do you want to do there?" ”

"I've seen it in the past."

Yadimu smiled: "The terrain over there is not bad, if you cultivate it well, you can get a lot of grain every year." ”

"In that case, I'll simply buy that place, and it 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 territory after re-development, so as to become a member of the nobility again.

It makes sense for Artimu to say so.

Kelai nodded, not asking more.

He asked people to take out a map and scratch the area casually.

"Is that enough?"

"Isn't it more?"

Artimu was a little surprised.

The places that Kelai had carved out were much bigger than he had imagined.

He had only wanted the area centered on Birch Village.

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

"It's a no-man's land, and not many people are interested in it if it doesn't give it to you."

Kelai didn't care: "Who can clean up these places except you?" ”

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

Specific clean-up and governance, this is a real investment.

According to the law of the Principality of Cohen, if the purchaser of the land has not formed substantial rule and governance over the purchased land for a certain period of time, then the official has the right to recover the sovereignty of the area in accordance with the law.

Therefore, the purchase of territory is not only about having money, but also about giving people soldiers.

If you don't have the strength to clean up the mess in that area, you can buy it for nothing.

That's why so few people are interested in terra nullius.

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

And a person with the strength to develop like Yadimu is also welcome to royal officials like Kelai.

After all, opening up a no-man's land 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 Yadimu purchased, the better.

The benefits that can be gained in the future will be even greater.

"Why don't you think about buying this place too?"

After dividing the land, Kelai began to actively sell it again: "There are many mountains and forests in this place, and it is said that there is a lot of valuable timber produced in it, and you will definitely not lose money if you buy these places." ”

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

Yadimu looked at Kelai, who was actively promoting in front of him, and this thought silently flashed in his heart.

Overall, there are quite a few nice places near Lima City.

After all, it's a newly developed area, and there are still plenty of opportunities at the moment.

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

At least from the current situation, there are basically many hidden dangers and problems in those places recommended by Kelai.

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

But Yatemu didn't care about it.

In Lima, he is one of the few people who has the strength.

Now the Shaman's power in Lima City has swelled, and even the city lord cannot ignore it.

So his appetite could have been greater.

"So be it."

He smiled and took all the places that Kelai had assigned him: "I will take these places first, and as for the rest, I will talk about it then." ”

"Okay."

Kelai smiled: "If you need it, you can come to me at any time." ”

"That's right."

After talking about the topic just now, he seemed to inadvertently speak: "I heard that you recently sent someone to transport another batch of goods?" ”

"yes."

Yadimu suddenly realized: "I came here this time to mention this matter to you." ”

"I came over to give you some gifts this time, I hope you can help you see how it is?"

"Oh?"

Kelai suddenly became interested: "Then I can take a good look." ”

"Please."

Artimus took Kelai to the courtyard.

There are already several boxes in place at the moment.

When the chest was opened, it revealed some jewels and gold coins.

Even if they weren't carefully calculated, just what they looked at on the surface, the value of these things was at least three thousand gold coins.

The jewels were seized by Artimus from the birch bandits, and there were a lot of good things in them, all of which were good in value.

But Yadimu thought that these things were troublesome, so he simply brought them over and gave them to Ke.

With the style of such a person, he may have liked this kind of thing.

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

"Not bad, not bad."

Kelai turned around, looked at Yadimu and said directly: "Mr. Yadimu, I am very satisfied with your gift, and you are welcome to come again next time." ”

What do you do next, continue to give gifts?

Yadimu's face was calm, and he smiled at Kelai and nodded: "Yes." ”

The two of them suddenly talked and laughed, chatting here non-stop, and they looked like 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 or something, it's nothing more than that, but there aren't many friends who can send thousands of gold coins at a time.

Even a character like Kelai was suppressed by Yadimu's generosity, and he was sent out with some laughter.

It wasn't until he had left that he restrained his smile and returned to his previous courtyard.

"Have you counted everything?"

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

"It's counted."

The old servant in front of him nodded: "It's all good things, worth at least three thousand gold coins, if you shoot slowly, four thousand gold coins can also be done, but the time may be slower." ”

That's 4,000 gold coins.

Kelai's face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction.

"It's really rich."

Thinking back to Yadimu's generosity, he couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, Klei himself is not a small person.

Although Lima City is located on the border, it is after all a direct territory of the royal family.

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

He's also seen big scenes.

But even so, in the face of Ardimu's generosity, he was also suppressed.

Every time Yadimu came to give gifts, the numbers were never less.

The thousands of gold coins were smashed down as if they didn't want money, and even Kelai was stunned.

"But ........"

Kelai collected the money very well, but the old housekeeper in front of him couldn't help but have some doubts: "It really doesn't matter if we put away the money like this?" ”

"If Your Highness knows about ........"

"Do you think Your Highness doesn't know now?"

Kelai smiled, unimpressed by the question: "Or do you think that all this money ended up in my hands?" ”

"Is it ......?"

The old butler was taken aback.

Kelai shook his head: "The main reason why I came here to be this city lord in the first place was to raise funds for His Highness. ”

"Now that there is such a good partner here, His Highness will only be happy, of course it is impossible to be angry."

This sentence shows the intention of Kelai.

In a word, he came to this place to be the lord of the city, and the purpose was to make money.

If he didn't come to make money, then what did he do when he came to such a shabby place to be the city lord?

Lima City is not a good place to be.

Compared to the rest of the Principality of Cohen, this place is full of mountain people, full of robbers and robbers, and there is nothing good at all.

The purpose of coming to this place is to make money.

And since it's to make money, there's naturally no need to be taboo about any means, just how to get money and how to get it.

Obviously, the speed with which Artimu sent him money was very satisfying for him.

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

Not to mention the big man behind him, even Kelai himself can't be satisfied.

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

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

Is this speed of making money one dimension worse than in the past?

Of course, if you have been cooperating with Yadimu like this, this will definitely be problematic, and it is equivalent to planting a bomb in Lima City.

Needless to say, Kelai himself can see this.

But then again, what does that have to do with him?

The city of Lima is not his domain.

He said that he was a city lord at best, but in fact he was just an official directly under the royal family, and he didn't stay in this place for long.

Wait until a few years later, as soon as his term of office arrives, 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 Lima City in the future, these will be left to the future city lord to have a headache.

All he needed to do was go back with his achievements and gold.

For all this, Kelai actually thinks quite clearly.

Therefore, he has never objected to many of Yadimu's previous actions, as long as he does not touch the bottom line, it means that he is quite fat, and he does not have the majesty of a big man at all.

"Seal these things up."

Kelai looked at these things in the courtyard, and said, "Go back and send these things to the royal capital." ”

"Remember to speed as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The old butler nodded respectfully.

Artimus walked out of the courtyard of Kelai and returned to his convoy.

There are people waiting for him at the moment.

"Chief."

Cotton waited for Artimus in the carriage and was relieved to see that Artimu had come out unharmed.

"Take it easy."

Yadimu couldn't help but smile when he looked at him: "As I said, for the time being, it is not time for me and the city lord of Kelai to turn faces. ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"He's not going to do anything to me."

It's not time to turn around yet, and that's a chance later.

Cotton muttered to himself, sitting in front of the carriage as his hand that had always been on his weapon slowly lowered.

Probably because he was also from a noble family and had seen many similar situations, Cotton was always wary of the city lord.

He instinctively felt that as time passed, Kelai would one day attack Artimu.

The last time he secretly sent someone to threaten him, trying to find out about the people around Artimus, this was one of the proofs.

So every time he came over, he was very vigilant, and he was very worried that if it was not good, Yadimu would kill someone else in Kelai's manor.

If that were the case, it would be dangerous for Yadimu to be inside.

To Cotton's concern, Yadimu just smiled and didn't comment too much.

In any case, a sense of distress is always a good thing.

This helps people go further.

"Let's go."

Yadimu said casually: "It's not too early, we should go back and have a look." ”

"yes."

Cotton nodded, and then personally picked up the carriage for Artimu and walked slowly towards the place where he had returned.

Then, another quiet time passed.

Two months later.

"Clay, try that idea."

Artimus looked at Clay in front of him, encouragement in his eyes.

In front of him, Clay looked nervous, then slowly reached out.

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

All around, Cotton, Gretel and the others were standing there, and at the moment little Clay was surrounded by a circle inside and outside.

Their purpose is also simple.

It's just to verify the results of Clay Jr.

It had been several months since Artimu had opened a cram school to teach them the knightly system.

Not surprisingly, except for a few people such as Gretel and Cotton, most of the rest of them did not achieve anything.

Among them, Clay is an exception.

Artimu's own understanding of the mage system is far less than that of the knight system, but he can't stand Clay's talent too well.

If Gretel and Cotton are slightly talented, then Clay Jr. is a true genius.

His spirit was so outstanding that even his body was severely depleted, and this talent was outstanding at any given time.

So at the same time, Glitter and Cotton were just getting started, but Clay Jr. was barely able to cast spells.

Now is the time to validate the results.

Under the expectant gaze 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 and moved directly.

"It's moving! It's moving! ”

This scene made everyone's hearts excited.

The sight of Clay moving the pebbles may not seem like a big deal, but it's a real expectation for them.

If Clay Jr. can succeed, they should be able to do the same if they work hard in the future.

They firmly believe in this.

To become a noble bloodliner, the opportunity seems to be right in the air.

It's hard not for them to get excited.

"Alright."

Looking at the excited expressions of the people around him, Artimu smiled and stopped Clay from trying, "You go down and rest first." ”

"When you've had enough rest, we'll arrange other classes."
