Big Capitalist

When Gust and Alex finished reading the first episode, they were both overwhelmed with emotion.

Gust was completely attracted by this setting. Humans were actually summoned as familiars. This setting was so novel. He seemed to see the door to a whole new world slowly opening. He had completely fallen and been brought into the story of Saito, and his mind was full of how the subsequent plot would develop.

As for Electrolux, he was also very interested in the story. He stared at the comics, eager to know what kind of wonderful adventure would happen next.

This way of presenting stories through paintings was so novel to them, it was the first time they had seen it, and it was like opening a window to another world.

Gust's face flushed with excitement. He quickly ran to Merlin's side and asked anxiously, "What's next? What's next?"

Merlin feigned exhaustion and said calmly, "Continuation? As an observer, I can only see so far. Once I rest, I'll draw the rest of the story for you!"

Gust looked at Merlin excitedly: "Really? This is really great."

Merlin frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Of course it's true. However, you have to know that activating the Eye of the God of War to watch the second dimension is very tiring and extremely draining. Moreover, my teacher and I have recently encountered a difficult problem in the field of alchemy. I have to devote myself to it. I am afraid I don't have that much time..."

After Merlin finished speaking, Gust yelled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Leave the alchemy to me! Harrington and I have worked together many times before, so there will be no problems. All you have to do is describe everything that happens in the second dimension!"

Merlin looked at Gust's anxious expression, secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since you said so, I agree, then let's start signing the contract."

Merlin took out the contract that he had prepared long ago. Gust glanced at it and shouted at the terms and conditions: "This won't work!"

"Why not?!"

"I don't want gold coins, I just want every reincarnation adventure in the second dimension!"

Merlin was secretly delighted, but on the surface he said seriously, "Sure. Not only that, I will also promote your adventure stories of reincarnating one reincarnation after another in the second dimension for Gust for free, so that more people can know about your adventure stories and those of your wives."

Gust became even more excited after hearing this. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "That's great. Many people say I'm crazy. I want to show others who is crazy. My wives are not his delusions."

"That's no problem. I'm happy to share these stories, but I have one request. Once I'm done observing the stories with all my wives, I'll leave your alchemy workshop."

"Of course!" Merlin thought to himself, just work for me honestly for the rest of your life, just based on the anime in his head.

Merlin and Gust reached a cooperation. Alex looked at the fooled Gust and shook his head secretly. This guy had fallen into the trap and didn't even know it.

In the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop, an enormous magic furnace was burning fiercely. The flames in the furnace were like a roaring beast, madly burning huge blocks of iron.

Those iron blocks gradually turned red under the high temperature, as if they would melt into boiling molten iron at any time.

The furnace is surrounded by a complex mechanical device composed of various steam pipes and gears. Steam gushes out of the pipes, making a "hissing" sound, driving the gears to engage with each other and rotate rapidly. The entire device is like a vital steel behemoth, operating in an orderly manner.

On the ground, a magic circle with various alchemical runes drawn on it was flashing with mysterious light. The runes were beating like living things, continuously providing mysterious energy to the entire workshop.

Countless alchemists were busy in this huge space. They were wearing specially made alchemical robes, holding various alchemical tools in their hands, and working with focused expressions.

Harrington looked at Gust standing beside Merlin in shock, and couldn't help but ask, "You actually managed to deal with this crazy guy? How on earth did you do it? He ignored the invitations from the Elf Queen and the Alchemist Guild and actually followed you here."

Merlin looked very proud and said with a smile, "We hit it off right away. Gust was impressed by my personal charm and came with me willingly."

Harrington rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Gust has always been only interested in those puppets. Just you? Stop bragging."

Merlin chuckled and said confidently, "Anyway, I have kidnapped the person for you, so don't worry about it."

Harrington looked at Merlin suspiciously and asked, "Okay, are you sure he'll obey? This guy is not someone you can easily deal with."

Merlin smiled mysteriously and said confidently, "His wife is in my hands, how dare he disobey?"

Harrington looked confused, with a series of question marks popping up above his head: "???"

I have no idea what Merlin means by this.

Merlin waved his hand and said lightly: "In short, teacher, don't worry. Gust will definitely do what you ask. By the way, didn't the teacher say that there are already research results?"

"Well, I have some ideas. With Gust's joining, we should see results in three days." Harrington said with certainty.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it." Merlin's face showed anticipation, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene after the research was successful.

In the Arcane City, a unique product has been newly added to a shop of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce.

It was a book, but more precisely, a comic book.

The name of the comic is clearly written as "The Familiar of Zero" Volume 1, and it is carefully placed in the most conspicuous position in the store, attracting the attention of every customer entering the store.

When the residents of the Arcane City passed by the shop, they were immediately attracted by the two-dimensional style characters on the cover.

The characters were vivid and colorful, completely different from the paintings they usually saw, and full of fantasy and mystery.

Residents walked into the store, pointed at the book curiously, and asked the clerk what it was.

The clerk smiled and explained enthusiastically, "This is the latest comic book released by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce. It is different from ordinary books. It uses beautiful pictures to interpret a fantasy story. This story takes place in another unique continent of Aize, where there are all kinds of magical adventures, wonderful magic, and characters with different personalities."

The clerk's description seemed to unfold a colorful picture before everyone's eyes, arousing the curiosity of many people.
