Big Capitalist

Merlin sent Kairos away. He looked at the signed contract on the table and felt that he had been too unfair to the elves. This contract was of almost no benefit to Kairos and his friends. Just to highlight the nobility of the elves, he made their race pay such a huge "price".

Of course, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Merlin wished there were more races like this, but except for the elves, other races were all very cunning.

Scarlett glanced at the time, then she drowsily picked up her pillow and stood up, preparing to leave the villa.

Merlin looked at Scarlett who was in a daze all day and didn't know what she was going to do. Scarlett's current state was more like sleepwalking, but as long as he called her, she would wake up from her sleep.

The body can move as planned and sense things in the outside world, but the mind is sleeping. Such skills are really powerful. No wonder Scarlett can become a fourth-level magician at such a young age. Although it is also related to her having a demigod grandfather.

However, Merlin didn't know that Scarlett had to force herself to develop this skill because of Merlin's efforts. If it weren't for the purpose of working to pay off her debts, she would have been extremely unwilling to work.

"Scarlett, where are you going?"

Scarlett woke up from her sleep when she heard Merlin's question. She looked at him with resentment, "Where should I go? It's time to go to the construction site to get progress materials, and at the same time, I have to solve the problems on the construction site..."

"Stop for now, come with me to the Arcane City. I'm going to the Church of Light." Merlin stood up. He felt very insecure. He found that he had few means of defense against evil magic, so he needed to go to the Church of Light to get some supplies.

"The Church of Light? I quite like that place because they always distribute free bread, clothes, and blankets for the winter."

Merlin's mouth twitched slightly. He wondered what kind of life Scarlett had lived in the past.

"Is this considered work?" Scarlett asked seriously. Her IQ had skyrocketed. If she hadn't asked this question, Merlin, this heartless guy, might have considered this as a holiday.

Merlin clicked his tongue and said, "Of course! Accompany me to the Church of Light and your salary will be doubled today."

"Then hurry up, if you go now you might be able to catch the Holy Communion."

(Holy Communion: Food prepared free of charge by the Church of Light for its believers, usually milk, black bread, and bean dishes.)

In order to strengthen the connection between his own tavern and the Beast Taming School of the Arcane Academy, Merlin had long ago "bribed" the griffins specially trained by the Beast Taming School.

The griffin is a highly intelligent monster in the continent of Azer. It combines the characteristics of a lion and an eagle, and symbolizes strength and nobility.

Its body is roughly the shape of a lion, strong and powerful, covered with golden or brown hair, with thick limbs and sharp claws that can easily tear prey. The head of the griffin is like an eagle, with a sharp beak and sharp eyes. The eyes are usually bright yellow or gold depending on their bloodline, revealing wisdom and majesty.

The griffin has broad, powerful wings, usually white or dark in color, that allow it to soar with grace, and a long, powerful tail that helps it maintain balance in the air.

Overall, the griffin is a creature that is both majestic and elegant, giving people a sense of inviolability.

Griffins usually live on high mountains, cliffs or vast grasslands, and like to build nests in places with a wide view so that they can observe the surrounding movements. They prefer dry climates and often soar in the air on sunny days to look for prey.

Creatures like griffins are born as third-level magical beasts. As they grow, an adult griffin is at least a fifth-level magical beast. If they want to go further, they will have to rely on other opportunities.

Griffins, an aerial combat unit, are generally provided to major empires after being trained at the Beast Taming Academy to be used to equip the Griffin Knights. Of course, students at the Beast Taming Academy can choose a griffin training course. As long as they are responsible for the griffin's daily life and a series of food needed for growth, they can obtain an adult griffin after graduating from the course.

Although it sounds great, taming a griffin is not an easy task. To build a relationship with a griffin and gain its recognition, you need patience and respect, regular feeding, interaction and training, as well as strong strength and heart to gain the griffin's recognition.

You should know that an adult griffin is at least a fifth-level magical beast, and there are many kinds of magic that a griffin can learn. The most common ones are wind magic and perception magic. In addition, it can also awaken light magic and other elemental magic. Coupled with the ability to fight at high altitudes, a fifth-level magician of the same level may not be a match for a griffin if he does not have any real skills.

The Beast Taming School of the Arcane Academy has a griffin flight service. As long as you can afford the gold coins, you can let the students and instructors who train griffins take you to where you want to go.

As for the price, it is not cheap. Even if you go to the Arcane City, a trip will cost a starting price of twenty gold coins.

"Merlin and Scarlett, please sit tight. We are about to take off." A third-year student from the Beast Taming Academy held the reins of the griffin tightly and reminded them.

The griffin shone with golden light in the sun, and its strong wings trembled slightly, as if it was looking forward to the upcoming flight. It was the first time for Merlin to sit on the back of a griffin, and he felt excited and nervous.

Scarlett hadn't changed much and still looked sleepy. She now hoped that the griffin would fly slower so that she could sleep longer.

"Get ready to take off!" The senior's voice sounded again, and the griffin's body shook violently, and its strong hind legs pushed the ground hard, and it instantly took off into the air. Merlin felt a strong gust of wind pressure, and he felt nervous and excited. The scene in front of him changed rapidly, and the buildings and trees on the ground shrank rapidly.

The griffin soared in the sky, and the sound of its flapping wings was like thunder. Merlin looked down at the earth from the air, feeling the incomparable freedom.

The griffin led Merlin and the others through the clouds, gradually approaching the Arcane City. As the altitude decreased, the scene in front of them became clearer and more amazing.

The city below is like a magnificent painting, divided into three layers, staggered. The towering towers in the upper area and the flickering magic light complement each other, as bright as stars.

The middle area seemed even more prosperous, with people coming and going on the wide streets, vendors hawking their wares enthusiastically, and colorful magical goods sparkling with an alluring luster in the sun.

However, their destination was the Lower District. As the griffin approached, Merlin could see the Lower District. Unlike the splendor of the Upper District, the Lower District looked more plain, with narrow and winding streets and more ancient buildings.
