Chapter 187

The blood-colored hedron was contained in a glass jar and was heavily sealed, so that the procedure was quite perfect.

Through the surging sunlight, this blood-colored spar reflects an inexplicable blood-colored luster, and the appearance is quite good-looking.

Artim stood there and watched for a few moments before slowly reaching out and opening the bottle.

When the bottle was opened, a fresh fragrance came out of it.

The smell was quite special, with an exciting feeling, as soon as you smell it, you will feel that the blood in your body will start to boil, and there is an inexplicable power rushing into your body.

"It should be true."

Feeling the sensation carefully, Artimu was sure.

That smell is still secondary, the key is the induction that rises in Yadimu's body.

The breath of the bloodstone evoked not only the feeling of Yadimu, but also the instinctive revival of the blood in his body.

His body also has extraordinary bloodlines.

And just now, under the stimulation of the bloodstone, that part of the transcendent bloodline was recovering, and the power in it seemed to be active a lot at once.

There is no doubt that this is the proof that Bloodstone is genuine.

The existence that can make the bloodline react like this must not be an ordinary thing in itself.

"I just don't know if it can have an effect on other bloodlines."

A moment later, Artimus put the bloodstone into the bottle, and the thought flashed through his mind.

The use of Bloodstone has its own limitations compared to other things.

Legend has it that Bloodstone is something made by the elves for their own use.

Therefore, in the legend, the effect of bloodstone to purify the bloodline seems to be concentrated in the elves.

As for whether only the elves are qualified to accept the effect of bloodstone to purify bloodlines, then Yadimu does not know.

He didn't get a chance to try either.

After all, now, he himself is also a descendant of elves, and he has part of the inheritance of elven blood in his body.

But if he had the chance, he wouldn't mind trying.

Silently retrieving the Bloodstone, Yadimu also gave up his intention to continue trying.

Time flies slowly.

Then, another half a year passed.

Seeing it, the time for Kelai to leave was approaching.

Before Kelai left, the appointment of the new city lord had already been issued.

To everyone's surprise, the Cohen royal family's appointment of the lord of Lima City was none other than Yadimu.

This result surprised everyone.

But no one dared to raise any objections.

After all, none of them are stupid.

Yatimu's forces have long been in Lima City, and many people have to follow the Shamans to barely get a bite to eat.

Most of them have already sided with Artimu.

In this case, if you show your hostility towards Artimus, you are not brave, but you are looking for death.

Therefore, the matter of Yadimu taking over as the lord of the city went quite smoothly.

In fact, at this time, no one dares to compete with him for this position.

Anyone with a discerning eye can know that now in the city of Lima is the Shaman gang of Yadimu and his subordinates.

In this case, even if it is a different city lord, if there is no nod from Yadimu, there is no power at all, and there is a chance that it will be hollowed out.

In that case, what else does this city lord mean?

It's better to just let him go.

However, in this way, what Yadimu did after that seems to be more justified.

"After this Lima City, it's yours."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Kelai looked at Artim in front of him and smiled.

"It's the property of the royal family."

Yadimu said solemnly: "I am just in charge of the royal family, how can I say that this is my property?" ”

Kelai didn't speak, just looked straight at Artimu, and looked at him a little embarrassed.

After a long while, he spoke, a smile on his face: "It's best if you think so." ”

"After I leave this time, I shouldn't be able to come back in a short time, and the situation in Lima City will be left to you."

"Don't worry."

Yadimu smiled and said, "If Your Highness has any orders, just send someone to explain them directly." ”

"Okay."

Klei nodded, not saying anything more.

After completing the handover of the position of the city lord, Kelai didn't have much nostalgia and left directly.

For him, the position of the lord of Lima City was not very tempting in the first place.

The reason why I came to take over at the beginning was also out of desperation.

If you want to leave now, you naturally don't have much psychological burden.

However, he can just leave, and the rest of the mess must be cleaned up by Artimu.

"The city's security squad costs so much money every month?"

After Yadimu took over as the lord of the city, the first thing he did was to check the accounts.

For Yatemu, the root of any organizational problem must be a matter of discipline and finance.

Needless to say, the discipline of the officials in Lima City has long been rotten to the roots, but he has not yet figured out the financial problems.

But when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The number of officials in the whole of Lima City is more than he imagined, and the expenses are unbelievably large.

"The entire official organization does nothing every month, and it costs a full 3,000 gold coins?"

After knowing this number, not to mention Yadimu, even Sailuo and the others couldn't help but be shocked.

They themselves are the top of the Shaman Gang, managing thousands of people in the entire Shaman Gang, so they naturally know how much it costs to spend such a large organization.

The Shamans themselves are very good at spending money, and many of the members of the organization need money to sustain themselves, and the cost is also quite large.

But even so, the Shamans spend far less money than the official institutions in Lima City, given the same number of people.

The money spent by the Shaman Gang brought a powerful team to Yadimu.

But this is obviously not the case with the money that is spent by the government.

What the official policing team in Lima City looks like, everyone present has experienced it for themselves.

To put it bluntly, if they could be a little more presentable, it would be impossible for forces like the Brotherhood and the Shaman Gang to rise.

That's a bunch of ornaments.

But it's just such a bunch of decorations that can cost so much money.

Everyone was stunned.

Yadimu looked at the bill and couldn't help but be silent.

In the past, it was fine, but now Lima City is in charge of the city.

It would be impossible to maintain such a huge amount of money.

Change, must change!

But how to change this point must be carefully considered.

Lima City is no different, and many of its official institutions are very sensitive and have to take their time.

But no matter what, change is still necessary.

It didn't matter before, but now it's Artimus' turn, and these questions must be sorted out.

"Cotton."

Yadimu looked at Cotton on the side: "How are the warriors training?" ”

"You can go out at any time."

Cotton got up and immediately said: "As long as you are willing, chief, you can mobilize two thousand people in one day, and if you give me three days, you can mobilize at least five thousand." ”

The reason why it took three days was because many of them belonged to the peasant army, and it took a certain amount of time to mobilize them if they wanted to mobilize them.

Three days is the time required for this mobilization.

"Okay."

Listening to this speed, Yadimu nodded with satisfaction: "Be ready to mobilize soldiers, and if something happens, mobilize them immediately." ”

"Yes." Cotton nodded respectfully.

"Gretel."

After Cotton, Artimu turned to look at Gretel on the side: "Are you interested in going back to your old job?" ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Glitter was stunned for a moment.

Not only him, but even the others around him were stunned, not understanding what Yadimu meant by this.

"I want to disband the current security team and directly organize a new security team members."

Yadimu flipped through the information in his hand, looked at Gretel and said, "Gretel, you come to be the captain of this team, how about reorganizing the security team?" ”

Glitter was born in the security team in the past, and has a certain understanding of the operation and organization of the security team.

Of all of Artimu's men, he was the most suitable to stay in the vigilantes.

After all, this is the old business.

"Disband the vigilante directly?"

The attention of the people around was immediately attracted.

Sailo's face suddenly became a little solemn: "Chief, this may cause some problems. ”

"It turns out that most of the members of the security team will take the opportunity to make trouble."

"I know."

Yatimuhun nodded nonchalantly: "That's why I asked Cotton to prepare." ”

Boy.

Everyone was stunned.

Feelings Artimu had this idea.

Their hearts silently began to mourn for the group.

Yatimu is ready to do it.

Regardless of the reaction of the group, Yadimu's men were ready to strike.

The reason why Yadimu wants to do this is also to solve the problem once and for all.

Relatively speaking, it is a relatively prudent way to change the original security forces and other institutions little by little through methods such as gradual reform, and the rebound is relatively small.

However, according to Yadimu's experience, it is difficult to say how effective it will be if you want to seek change in this way, but it will certainly be very slow in terms of efficiency.

The people are still those people, and the organization is still the same organization in the past, so the change is destined to be half the effort.

Instead of spending a lot of effort to slowly transform and spend a lot of financial and material resources, it is better to directly push it back and lay off all the members of the security team, and then find employment.

When the time comes, a new security team will be reorganized, and Yadimu's own people will be filled in, so as to obtain an institution that belongs entirely to Yadimu.

Other institutions can be changed slowly, but places like the vigilante must be changed as soon as possible because they are too urgent.

Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome later.

Artimus thought in his heart, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through him at this moment.

It's not just Gretel.

Including Sailo and others, he is also going to give some positions later, and when the time comes, he will be directly stuffed into the official institutions of Lima City.

In this way, it is also easier to carry out the work.

However, the specific details will continue to be discussed slowly.

In front of him, the sound of discussion continued to sound, and it never stopped.

It wasn't until a moment later that Artimus got up and left the place.

Time flies slowly.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed since Yadimu took over as the city lord.

For two months, everyone was waiting for Yadimu's move.

But to their surprise, Yadimu did not do much, but maintained the daily operation of Lima City, and did not do anything superfluous.

Everyone was surprised by this.

Until this day, someone brought the order of Artim.

"What?"

The captain of the vigilante is named Herud and is a tall, burly middle-aged man.

He is considered a local snake in Lima, and he was already the sheriff of Lima before he came to Lima to take office.

Even if it is Kelai, he must rely on a local snake like him, and he has always been polite.

Yatimu was equally polite to him.

After all, this is the sheriff in the city of Lima, second only to the figure of the city lord.

Yadimu also didn't want to offend before, and he got along well if he could.

In the past, every time Artimus gave gifts to Kelai and others, it was also indispensable to Herud's share.

Because of this, Khrud did not care about the ascension of Yadimu.

Although he had previously been worried about the state of the security forces, fearing that Yadimu would attack the security forces he was in charge of when he came to power, he quickly let go of his worries.

Until today.

"What did you say?"

Herud stared at the Sailo in front of him, and said to him, "This is the order of the city lord?" ”

"Not bad."

Stared at by Herud, the smile on Selo's face remained unchanged: "Because of the expenditure, the city lord feels that a considerable part of the expenditure of the security team should be wasted and needs to be cut. ”

"Look, how about changing the cost of the security team to 800 gold coins per month in the future?"

With a smile on his face, Sailo said to Herud.

"It can't be!"

Towards this result, Herud said that he could not accept it: "We have to fight against so many people every day, and we have to maintain order in the whole city, and this amount of money is simply not enough for us to use!" ”

"But as far as we know, the total number of vigilantes is less than a hundred, and it doesn't seem to be as much as fifteen hundred gold coins per month..........."

Sailo continued.

It's just that you don't need that much.

As to how many people were in the security team, Artimu knew all too well.

There are nearly 100 people in the entire security team, but in reality there are only about 50 or 60 people.

Excluding those who eat empty wages and do not work, there are only 34 people who are really doing things.

At this point, people need to spend 1,500 gold coins every month, an average of 50 gold coins per person.

Fifty gold coins a month level to hire a man...........

Even the best mercenaries would not dare to offer this price.

The vigilantes did.

What's more, they get paid so well, but they don't do much of the work at all.

In the whole city of Lima, they are the most idle right now.
