Adoption of a son, this matter is also not uncommon in this world.

However, in terms of Artim's status, if he adopted an adopted son, then the meaning would be very different.

First of all, he himself is not married, and he does not have a child who can actually inherit everything from him.

In the absence of children and no other heirs, according to the practice of this world, everything he created was most likely to be taken back directly by the king in the end.

Of course, the power of Artimu's men was too great.

If he leaves, then there is a high probability that his territory will not be taken back by the royal family.

After all, once the power under his command explodes, even the royal family is at risk of being overthrown, where do you dare to do more.

will not be taken back by the royal family, then there is a high probability that it will be divided by this group of people.

The group then went on to provoke war, thus completing a new round of annexation and assembly.

But in the end, it can be confusing.

From the bottom of his heart, these people are all old men who follow Yadimu, and these territories under his own hands are also fought down by themselves.

As a last resort, Artimus did not want them to end in a miserable situation.

That's why he adopted Clay as an adopted son to inherit his own family name.

"Clay, would you like to take my last name and become a member of the Ryan family?"

In front of everyone, he looked at Clay in front of him, looked at him and said solemnly.

The eyes of the people around them suddenly turned to Clay.

At this moment, their eyes are filled with all kinds of emotions, from admiration and joy to hostility and jealousy.

It is clear to everyone what this move of Yadimu means.

If nothing else, Clay will later become Adimus's adopted son and sole heir.

And this layer of relationship is the envy of countless people.

After all, the situation created by Yadimu is no longer a small situation.

The territory of the entire Principality of Cohen is so vast, but Artimus alone occupies one-third of it, and it is all easy to defend and quite easy to defend.

Standing in the position of Adimu, in addition to not having his own crown, he can't find much with a real king in other aspects.

Even the royal family of the Principality of Cohen must be polite to Artimus now, for fear of angering Artimu.

And all of this is nothing else, it is a proof of strength.

To put it bluntly, whoever has this strength will become one of the most honorable people in the world.

And now, Clay has that opportunity.

"I ..... I ......"

In the face of the sudden surprise, Clay looked a little sluggish, and the whole person was stunned by the sudden surprise.

He opened his mouth, tempted to say something, but couldn't.

In front of him, Yadimu looked at him kindly, and didn't say anything when he looked at him, but asked again and again: "Are you willing?" ”

"I do."

Clay reacted quickly and immediately gave his own answer.

Yes, of course I do.

In the face of such a good thing, reluctance is a fool.

And emotionally, it's also very acceptable.

At the beginning, Clay was just a small slave on the Crane Manor, and his status was so lowly that no one would notice even if he died.

At that time, it was Artimus who rescued him, excavated him from the manor of Kelai, and then brought him to the outside world to cultivate all the way, so that he has today's Clay.

Today, Clay has not only grown into a sturdy teenager, but also a powerful transcendent in his own right.

This is obviously also inseparable from the careful cultivation of Yadimu.

With so many things happening in the middle, his relationship with Yadimu was originally similar to that of father and son, and there is nothing to reject at this moment to become an adoptive father-son relationship.

It can only be said that it is logical.

Under the smiling gaze of Artimu, Clay stepped forward and slowly took the badge representing the Artimu family.

Seriously, this badge is the predecessor of this body.

But it doesn't matter.

After all, in the process of Yadimu's rise, the predecessor family never appeared, and it never gave Yadimu any help.

In this case, he simply regarded the family where he belonged as non-existent.

It's also convenient.

recognized Clay's adopted son, and the atmosphere present was obviously a lot more relaxed.

When Yadimu looked at it, he could find that many people seemed to be secretly relieved.

It's true.

For the past few years, Artimu has never married, has no women, and naturally has no heirs.

This state of affairs is actually quite dangerous for a ruler.

If something happens to Artim, the inheritance they have created is at risk of ruin.

Most of these people present are old people who have followed Yadimu to start a business, and they have also achieved rich results and returns in the process of Yadimu's entrepreneurship, so they naturally don't want the fruits of their struggle to disappear.

So they have always been vaguely worried about the past situation.

But now it's much better.

Although Clay is not the biological child of Artimus, his adopted son also has the right to inherit.

Once Artimus is gone, at least there will be people who will be able to carry this inheritance and ensure their future succession.

That's what matters most to some people.

Yadimu also understands this, which is why today's incident is here.

Of course, the reason why he wants to announce this matter today is actually because of the urgency of time.

"Time is running out."

Standing in place, Artimus muttered to himself as he looked at the laughter and amusement of the crowd in front of him.

In front of his eyes, a golden hourglass slowly emerged, and it was presented at this moment.

At this moment, the golden hourglass began to flicker slowly, as if it represented some kind of inexplicable meaning.

Artimu won't stay in this world for long.

He came to this world to use a temporary shuttle passage, so the length of time he can stay depends entirely on the strength of the temporary passage.

And now, judging from the time, he has been in this world for so many years.

It's almost time to reach the limit.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, Yadimu had already faintly felt this way.

That sense of rejection has always surrounded him.

At the time, though, the feeling wasn't too strong.

Now it's even more obvious.

Yadimu privately estimated that he probably only had two years left in this world at most.

In two years at most, he will leave this world and return to the world of dawn.

It was precisely because of this premonition that he had done so many things and wanted to prepare himself before leaving.

Now, it's pretty much the same.

A banquet is over.

Artimus returned to his lab.

In his lab, there are many things on the table at the moment.

It was a blood-colored hedron.

The blood-colored hedrons looked crystal clear, and each piece possessed a strange power.

These are all bloodstones.

Yes, it's all bloodstone.

The bloodstone, which was extremely scarce in other hands, was now in the hands of Yadimu, but it was already a little overflowing.

It's hard to say anything else, at least in his hands, there are as many as seven complete pieces, which is enough to crush in terms of quantity.

Of course, the quantity is enough to crush, but the quality is not necessarily.

Compared to the bloodstones recorded in the legend, all of them in Adimu's hands are defective.

If it weren't for the remnants, it wouldn't have fallen into his hands.

In the usual years, Artimu fought all the way and reaped a lot of loot.

This is how these bloodstones fell into his hands.

These things are real bloodstones, that's beyond doubt.

But the effect is very different.

The piece of bloodstone that Kelai handed over to Yadimu at the beginning, although it was said that it would not take long after using it to die directly, but the effect was also very obvious, as long as it was used, it would not take long to become a pure blood.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

But most of the rest of these bloodstones are even more outrageous than the one that Gram sent.

Due to the age of some bloodstones and the rough preservation methods, even Adim himself did not know how much effect was left in them.

Seven bloodstones, in the end, the two from the royal family of Duke Cohen have the best effect.

And it's no wonder.

After all, it's a royal family, and the things used are much better than other places, which is a very normal thing.

However, among the seven bloodstones, there are also some that have a decent effect.

The reason why Artim collected so many bloodstones was mainly for experiments.

Yes, it's an experiment.

It is important to understand that although the Bloodstone has an extremely amazing effect, it is also the ultimate study of the bloodline field by the ancient elves.

In other words, this actually represents the highest achievement of the Elder Elves' research in the bloodline realm.

For such a result, it must be of considerable help to the bloodline field.

In fact, it is.

In the past few years, in addition to training his subordinates, Yadimu has spent most of his time studying these bloodstones.

Through the study of these bloodstones, he also gained a lot of things, and his attainments in the bloodline field also deepened a lot.

Of course, it's only a lot deeper, and it's still a long way from completely cracking the secret of the Bloodstone.

It's not that easy.

The Bloodstone itself represents the core crystallization of the Ancient Elves.

Since it is the core, it is naturally impossible to be cracked so easily.

Not to mention cracking it, even if he put the information on the original creation of the bloodstone in front of Artimu and let him learn it by himself, it would be difficult for him to digest it.

No way, that's how difficult it is.

Artimu sighed silently.

"It's a pity that it's too late."

Looking at the few bloodstones in front of him, he shook his head with some regret.

These bloodstones are excellent research items, and they contain a lot of the efforts of the ancient elves.

It's a pity that he can't take such a thing with him.

Unlike the ontology, the temporary passage is only through the consciousness of Adimu himself, and he can't take anything with him when he returns.

He definitely won't be able to bring back these bloodstones.

Of course, even if he was able to bring these things back, there was no guarantee that they would not be damaged when he traveled through time and space.

After all, seriously speaking, Yadimu has not experienced many similar situations.

It's a sure thing that you can't take it away.

However, looking at these bloodstones, a bold idea rose in Yadimu's heart.

Although, he really couldn't take the bloodstones away.

But if you use these bloodstones directly while you are still in this world, then it seems to be feasible, right?

Perhaps?

As soon as this thought arose, even Artimus himself was taken aback.

Bloodstone, this is no joke.

When a single bloodstone was used, the price was the rapid loss of life.

There are seven bloodstones in the place right now.

If these seven bloodstones were used together, if nothing else, the effect would definitely expand a lot.

Maybe they can quickly solve the problem of Artimus himself.

But what does it matter?

Artimus was about to leave.

For him, his departure was merely a return to his true form, but for the rest of the world, his departure and death seemed to be no different.

In that case, what's the problem?

No problem!

Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Yadimu's heart, and he had silently made a decision at this moment.

Time passed slowly, and in a flash, a few more months passed.

After taking Clay as his adopted son, Artimus set about training Clay's abilities, sending him down to various locations to personally manage an area and observe its operations.

Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that it is Yadimu who is deliberately training Clay, hoping to exercise his ability.

In this regard, Clay is not very good.

Compared to his talent in the mage profession, Clay's talent in management is quite mediocre, and no matter how you look at it, it can only be regarded as a medium-class talent.

However, this was not taken to heart by Artimus.

This is actually quite normal.

It is impossible for a person to be so perfect, and after having a superb mage talent, he can also have extraordinary management skills.

Clay's situation is normal.

Moreover, he is not without advantages.

His talents may be ordinary, but his power as a transcendent can make up for his prestige, and Clay's own personality is cheerful and enlightened enough.

He may not be able to be a good ruler, but with his own strength and the team left behind by Artimus, it will not be a problem to stabilize his rule.

At the same time, his character is also there, so that he will not become a tyrant or anything like that.

For Yatimu, that was enough.

It is even more difficult for him to accept that his future heir is using what he has left behind to persecute the innocent.

That was the biggest blow for Artimu.

Clay has many flaws, but only kindness and cheerfulness are what Artimus values the most.

The transfer of power went smoothly.

Yadimu pondered that he would have about a year left in this world.

Using this world as a foundation is enough to complete the transfer of power.
