Big Capitalist

In my previous life, I worked like an ox or a horse, and died before I could enjoy life. In this life, I start with debt again. Is my fate to be a ox or a horse?

No! Absolutely not! I, Merlin, will never be a slave!

Merlin looked at his handsome self in the mirror. He rubbed his face and thought, such a handsome appearance could really fetch a high price in this Arcane Academy.

Is it okay for you to be kept by a rich woman at such a young age?

Merlin knew from his memory how open-minded the noble women in this world were. It was quite normal for wealthy and powerful noble women to have several lovers. The private lives of the nobles were very chaotic.

But when he thought of the things he had heard in his memory, such as the [Slime Game], [Evil Tentacles], etc., he couldn't help but feel scared. With all the tricks these noble young ladies played, a handsome young man like him might not be able to protect his own butt.

In order to save his own ass, he must work hard to make money.

Today, the Leo family only has one property left in the city governed by the Arcane Academy. According to his father, they plan to give it a try here.

To be honest, without territory and money, the Leo family is no longer a true noble family, even though the Leo family is a count's family.

A noble, apart from his noble status, also needs luxurious houses and palaces. These buildings are not only expensive to build, but also quite expensive to maintain.

The nobles also spend a huge amount of money on clothing and jewelry. Just look at Merlin's clothes and you will know that. This is the face of the nobility. Every noble wears clothes made of the highest quality materials and wears expensive jewelry. These clothes and jewelry are often custom-made and very expensive.

In addition, grand banquets and social events are often held, which require a lot of money to prepare food, drinks, entertainment and decorations, which is another considerable expense.

Nobles often engaged in high-stakes gambling, not only as a form of entertainment but also as a means of displaying wealth and social status.

In addition, many nobles were patrons of art and culture. They funded artists, musicians and writers and collected works of art, all of which required a lot of money.

For the sake of reputation, nobles also engage in charity and public welfare. Although this may seem like an expense, for some nobles, demonstrating their generosity and social responsibility through charity and public welfare is also an important social activity.

In order to maintain their family status and reputation, nobles need to maintain a certain influence in various social activities, which usually requires a lot of money to support.

All of the above now have nothing to do with the Leo family, and soon the Leo family will become a laughing stock among the nobles because of "bankruptcy".

Merlin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He would go to see his parents after class tomorrow. All the family territory was lost, and there was only a tavern in the city governed by the Arcane Academy. Could he make a comeback with this tavern?

When the time comes, I will study carefully what I can do to make money.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains and gently brushes across his sleeping face, Merlin wakes up from the tranquility of the night.

The sky gradually changed from deep dark blue to gentle light blue, dotted with a few leisurely white clouds, which slowly floated across the sky under the breeze of the morning.

Merlin, who had hardly slept the entire night, did not feel tired at all. For an apprentice magician, the training of mental strength allowed them to stay up late for long periods of time.

dong dong dong-

There was a hurried knock on the door. Merlin, who was dressed neatly, thought it was probably that idiot Louis XVI again. He straightened his clothes, picked up the book on alchemy, and pushed open the heavy oak door.

"Merlin, are you okay? Don't be upset! We are here!"

Unexpectedly, the voice did not come from Louis XVI, but a pleasant female voice, but the voice was a little loud, which made Merlin's head hurt.

Merlin felt a fragrant breeze coming, and then he was hugged, and then he could feel soft and boneless hands touching his head and face.

"Merlin, are you okay? That idiot Sixteen said there was something wrong with your brain, don't scare me!"

What caught his eyes was long hair as bright as autumn maple leaves. It was obviously a girl. She looked up at Merlin with a worried look on her face. The girl had a delicate face and fair skin, as if covered with a light matte foundation, which formed a sharp contrast with her red hair. Her eyes were light brown, flashing with worry. Whenever she blinked, her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings.

She was wearing a loose cotton shirt that fit her body perfectly. The simple design revealed a casual aristocratic vibe. The hem of the cotton shirt was casually tucked into her waist, outlining her slender figure. She was wearing a pair of dark blue trousers with slightly worn edges and a few decorative brass buttons, which made her look casual yet individual.

She was wearing a pair of brown leather short boots, which were carefully polished and looked clean and shiny. The low heel design of the short boots made her more comfortable when walking, while also retaining a heroic spirit.

Around her waist, a wide leather belt with an antique brass buckle cleverly accentuated her proportions, and a small leather bag hung from the belt.

Her red hair was casually tied behind her head with a dark blue headband, with a few strands of hair hanging naturally in front of her forehead. As she kept shaking Merlin's shoulders with her hands, a pair of simple silver earrings on her ears swayed gently with her movements, flashing a soft light.

"Chris, I'm fine. Don't move. I'm feeling dizzy." Merlin quickly distanced himself from the girl in front of him.

Henry Chris, the granddaughter of the Duke of Plantagenet of the Turin Empire, was also the apple of the Duke of Plantagenet's eye and the most favored granddaughter. Her status was much higher than that of Louis XVI, the marginal prince.

At the same time, Henry Chris is also the only female friend that Merlin can treat sincerely. Of course, Chris hopes that Merlin would call her brother.

Henry Chris, the only woman who made friends for Merlin's sake without seeking his face, although she was a young girl, her personality was more like that of a carefree and rough man with a hot temper. She inherited all the shortcomings of Grand Duke Plantagenet. Perhaps it was because her temper was so similar to that of Grand Duke Plantagenet that she was so favored.

Chris was relieved to see that Merlin didn't look like he was in trouble. Then she stared at Louis XVI standing behind her with an angry face and shouted, "Fate, you bastard, didn't you say Merlin was mentally ill? You dare to lie to me, believe it or not, I will kill you!"
