Strictly speaking, there are similar problems in various institutions in Lima City.

It's just that relatively speaking, no other place is as important as the vigilantes.

After all, this is the core armed force institution of Lima City, and it is where the official power lies, so it is also the key object of rectification.

"Please tell the lord of the castle."

Herud said coldly: "If this is the result he wants, then we will never accept it." ”

"Please go back."

His words were unceremonious, and there seemed to be little room for speech.

However, Sailor just looked at him with a smile, and he didn't mean to be angry.

Accept it or not, the choice in this is not on Herud in front of him.

Not even on anyone else.

"Never?"

On the brand-new desk, when Artimus heard Herud's reply, he couldn't help but smile: "The money is mine, if I don't want to pay for it, what can he do?" ”

"Is it possible that you are still preparing to start a rebellion?"

Not to mention, it's really possible.

Lima City's vigilantes aren't as honest as they seem.

In the past, they had a history of directly attacking the city lord's manor and coercing the governor.

The reason why it has stopped now is not because of anything else, but simply because he can't beat Yadimu.

After all, the strength of Artimu is much stronger than theirs.

If they dare to resist, they will die unless they die.

This is also the reason why Yadimu laughs.

Facing others, such as Herud, may still have the power to resist, but it is impossible to face Artimus.

Of course, if Artimus takes it lightly, then these people may not be able to teach Artimus a lesson that he will never forget.

"Exactly."

Putting down the stall in his hand, Yadimu sighed: "It's too troublesome to rectify these places, and I don't know when I will come one by one." ”

"Let's start with him."

He suddenly smiled: "Isn't he very firm, then respect his meaning." ”

"Cotton."

He looked at Cotton in front of him.

After so much study and training, Cotton's body has become quite thick and strong, and the whole looks very strong.

This is the training effect of the martial artist's tempering method, and there are traces of life energy in the body.

According to Yadimu's division of fighting knights, he should belong to the first-level apprenticeship at the moment, and his strength is comparable to that of knight apprentices.

"I'll let Clay go with you, no problem."

He looked at Cotton and said.

The implication is pretty obvious.

Cotton thought for a moment, and then a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face: "No problem. ”

After such a long period of workout, Cotton has become what he is now, and as for Clay Jr., the changes are even greater now.

He's almost close to being a full-fledged mage, and he's now at the top of his apprenticeship.

Let Clay Jr. go with Cotton, killing an ordinary person can only be regarded as simple.

At least Artimus didn't think it was difficult.

After all, the vigilantes are no match for them in any way.

When it comes to killing people and stuff like that, they're professionals.

"Go ahead."

Artimus nodded, and let them go.

After Cotton left, he continued to arrange the next tasks.

"How's the preparation for the exam?"

After arranging Cotton, Artimu turned to look at the others.

"It's almost."

Selo nodded, and his gaze suddenly became much more solemn: "Everything that should be prepared has been prepared, just waiting for the exam's people to come." ”

"Okay."

Yadimu nodded: "Let all the people who took the class before try it." ”

In the Shaman Gang, in addition to opening a small range of knight classes for Cotton and others, Yadimu also opened some basic courses.

The reason why this is so is that its original intention is to provide certain basic talents within the Shaman Gang.

No way, Lima City is too short of people.

Not to mention a certain level of management talents, even if they only know some words, basic talents who can initially understand and convey the meaning are quite rare in Lima City.

So as a last resort, Yadimu could only cultivate it by himself.

For more than a year, many people have walked out of the basic cram school he opened.

The curriculum of the cram school is not complicated, and there are only basic arithmetic and literacy courses.

As long as you can pass the basic assessment, you can go to various places to practice, and then slowly hone it.

According to Yadimu's experience, this set of processes may not be able to produce any decent talents on a large scale, but it is enough to use them at the grassroots level.

After all, sometimes you don't need too much wisdom to do things at the grassroots level.

It is enough to know some basic ways to do things, and then be able to read and write.

And now that he has become the lord of the city, in order to directly build his own set of teams, it is best for these people to move over and use them directly.

It just so happened that he was going to reorganize most of the departments directly, which required a large number of people.

Therefore, an exam is also very necessary.

"We don't have to be limited to who is taking the exam."

Artimu looked at Sailo: "In order to show fairness, there is no limit to the candidates for this assessment, and in the entire territory of Lima City, as long as you are willing to come to the exam, you can come." ”

"As long as you can pass the assessment, you can hold a position under me."

"It's also a chance for others."

It is indeed to give chance.

For the vast majority of people, under normal circumstances, even if they are able, it is impossible to enter the official places.

Now Artimu has given that opportunity.

So this exam is actually a recruitment exam.

It depends on whether the people around you are worthy of cooperation.

Yadimu was still discussing the future, and on Cotton's side, they were also carrying out the task that Artimus had given them.

The process of taking out Herud was easier than they thought.

Perhaps he didn't think that Artimus would dare to do anything to them, and Herud didn't take any precautions after meeting with Selo, and was still drinking around.

When approached by Cotton, he was drinking at a tavern, drinking with his subordinates until he was drunk.

Then, he was solved.

The whole process was extremely easy, which made both Cotton and Clay a little stunned.

Especially Clay.

For Cotton, doing this kind of thing can't be considered commonplace, but it can't be considered unfamiliar either.

But for Clay, he hasn't killed many people yet, so it's inevitable that he will be a little nervous this time.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.

Shiro has been nervous for so long.

Looking at Herud, who was lying on the bed, as if he was asleep, Clay and Cotton both looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Either way, at least this mission is done.

The two looked at the corpse on the bed, and at this moment they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in each other's hearts.

On the big bed, Herud's body lay quietly, and at the moment the corpse still had a strong smell of alcohol, and it looked as if it was asleep.

Who would have thought that the captain of the security team, who had been drinking heavily during the day, would now be dead?

With that done, Clay and the two turned and left the place, returning to their quarters.

Time flies slowly.

News of Herud's death soon broke.

As for the way he died, the official answer was to drink and die violently, but everyone obviously knows that things are not so simple.

If you don't die sooner or later, you just wait until this time to die violently.

Aside from anything else, just the timing is enough to make people feel suspicious.

However, it has to be said that the death of Herud did reduce a lot of resistance to Artimus.

At least on the side of the security forces, after losing the obstruction of the powerful man of Herud, it was much easier for Yadimu to do things.

He started with the vigilantes and began to dismantle and reorganize all the official institutions of Lima City one by one, turning them into his own.

The reorganization of the officials of Lima City took a lot of time for Artimu.

It wasn't until more than half a year later that he barely finished it.

The reason why it is said to be barely completed is that he has only replaced and reorganized some key positions.

For some ordinary positions, he didn't care, he just cut the expenses, and didn't pay attention to the rest.

The ensuing time began to pick up.

Another six months later, a rebellion broke out near the city of Lima.

A group of rebels suddenly set out for the vicinity, defeating several of the nearby independent lords.

Seeing that this area was about to fall, Yadimu led people to take action, and dispatched 5,000 people at a time to directly exterminate the rebels.

】

This was the end of the rebellion.

In the aftermath, Adimu was promoted, his title became that of a marquis, and his position became that of a governor.

After this, he officially entered the eyes of the upper echelons of the Principality of Cohen.

Another three years, Archduke Cohen died, and several princes competed with each other for the position.

In order to win over Yadimu, Kelai struck again and went to visit Yadimu in person.

No one knew what Kelai had promised to Artim, but the next day, Artimus announced that he had joined the battle.

Tens of thousands of troops shot at one time and attacked directly towards the territory on the side.

And that area is the territory of the enemies of Kelai and the others.

Two years passed, and Artimus attacked all the way, and I don't know how many enemies he had defeated.

His title has not changed.

The Duchy of Cohen is just a Grand Duchy, and the highest title of the king in the country is only the Grand Duke.

In this case, the title of Artimus is already the top.

He also didn't have the idea of self-reliance, so there was no change in the title.

However, there has been no change in the title, and this is not the case in other aspects.

Over time, and with his years of campaigning, his territory has swelled to a whole new level.

He ruled one-third of the entire Duchy of Cohen.

Most of these areas were originally backward areas, but under the rule of Yatimu, they slowly regained their vitality and gradually gained strong power.

This is something that no one could have imagined.

For several years, the rest of the lands were constantly fighting, while the territory ruled by Artimus was gathering strength.

This gradually balances the balance of power between each other.

Before he knew it, now Yadimu already had the strength to compete for that crown.

However, to everyone's surprise, at this time, Yadimu stopped inexplicably.

"Chief."

In the hall, Cotton and the other old men looked at Artimu suspiciously.

Although a lot of time has passed, and there are many more titles and titles on his body, old people like Cotton and Gretel still have a habit of calling him the leader.

This is both a habit they have developed in the past and a testament to their closeness to Artimus.

"Aren't we going to attack?"

Gretel couldn't help but ask, "The principality is still in chaos, as long as we send an army, there is a good chance that we can win in one fell swoop." ”

"yes."

Not far away, Lorcan also nodded and said, "Those people are all cowards, and they don't have the slightest strength to speak of. ”

"Chief, I am willing to take my brother and take that crown back for you."

There was a lot of talk around the place.

Artimu, however, was calm, just looking up at the front.

"That's what you think?"

He looked at these people in front of him, and then smiled: "Seize the crown, this thing can be done at any time." ”

"But right now, we have something important to do."

"More important?"

The people present were suddenly puzzled.

Some of them don't quite understand.

Is there anything more important in this world than the taking of the crown?

Probably not.

In their opinion, after seizing the crown and becoming the master of this country, the rest of the things will naturally be settled, and there is no need to waste time now.

But apparently, Yatemu didn't think so.

Claiming the crown or something, it doesn't matter to him now.

He never put his mind on that.

Before that, he chose to raise troops purely to get something.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no point in doing anything else.

"Clay, come on."

In front of everyone around him, Artimus waved at Clay in the distance.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Clay slowly stepped forward and stood in the center of the hall.

Compared to the past, Clay has grown up and become a cheerful-looking teenager.

The young man's appearance is thin, and the whole person is wearing a long robe, although his appearance is ordinary, he looks very cheerful, which makes people feel that it is a lot of extra points.

Compared with usual, he is dressed very gorgeously today, which makes people feel very solemn at a glance.

It looks like something big is about to happen.

The people present looked at each other, and each saw the doubt and solemnity in each other's eyes.

Although they didn't understand what was happening, they instinctively felt that something big was about to happen soon.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Artim spoke.

"Clay, would you like to inherit my surname and become my adopted son?"

The next moment, Artimu's voice sounded in place.

What!

When the words fell, everyone present was directly shocked.

Is this to adopt a son?
