Big Capitalist

After finishing their meal, Merlin and the others enthusiastically started their tour of the imperial capital of the Dawn Empire.

Although this imperial capital could not compare with the Arcane City in terms of planning and prosperity, it had many rare things they had never seen before and was full of unique charm.

Merlin strolled alone on the streets of the imperial capital, watching the people coming and going with different expressions, and a long-lost sense of tranquility and comfort arose in his heart.

It had been a long time since he had strolled leisurely alone like this. He was always busy with various affairs on weekdays, and it was rare for him to have such a relaxing moment.

Girls like Stacy, Yuna, Angelica, Scarlett and Belinda are naturally passionate about shopping. They have happily formed a team and planned to wander through the streets and alleys of this imperial capital and enjoy the fun of shopping.

As for Ed, Carlisle and Conan, they took on another mission - to meet Baron Famion.

It is said that the Baron received a summons from His Majesty in the morning and according to the itinerary, he will arrive in the imperial capital in the evening.

Moon Goddess Selene watched Merlin wander further and further away, intent on finding his way into secluded alleys, and couldn't help but ask, "What's so fun about a place like this?"

Merlin was holding a small notebook, carefully recording his observations and potential business opportunities along the way. Hearing this, he stopped writing and said with a smile, "You don't understand, do you? The more remote the place, the more likely it is to hide surprises. Maybe there's a business opportunity that can make you big money?"

"I don't know whether you're surprised or not, but you're definitely scared." Selene's voice carried a hint of inexplicable foreboding.

"What do you mean?" Merlin raised his eyebrows in confusion. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he didn't expect something unexpected to happen.

Suddenly, two dark figures came at Merlin like ghosts. One leaped from the air like a streak of black lightning, while the other sprinted from the side, so fast that it was impossible to react.

The man who jumped down from the air suddenly raised his leg and smashed his heel down at Merlin like a sledgehammer, while the man on the side used a ferocious posture similar to "Black Tiger Heart-ripping", heading straight for Merlin's vitals. The two of them, one above and one below, were obviously going to kill Merlin.

Merlin was completely shocked by this sudden attack. The opponent was too fast and he had no time to react. His heart instantly rose to his throat.

At this critical moment, the moon goddess Selene remained calm and just turned her fingers slightly.

In an instant, Merlin felt as if his collar was being pulled hard by an invisible hand, and he was suddenly pulled out.

There was only a loud "boom" sound, and the place where he had just stood was kicked out by the kick from the air, creating a huge hole, and gravel and dust were flying on the ground.

"What's going on! Who are you!" Merlin was still in shock. He quickly placed his hand on the storage ring and stared at the two assassins of unknown origin with a vigilant look on his face. He was shocked and angry. He never thought that he would be assassinated in this alley in the imperial capital.

The other party wanted to take advantage of Merlin's shock to continue the attack, but after hearing Merlin's question, they froze. One of them muttered in a low voice: "What's going on? Can you talk?"

During this brief interval, Merlin was able to see the faces of both men clearly.

The one who delivered that destructive kick was a pretty and charming lady with long legs.

She had neat short brown hair that shone softly in the sunlight, and the gentle breeze swayed her hair, adding a touch of elegance. Her eyes were like a deep lake, a clear blue. Beneath her high nose bridge were beautifully contoured lips, which were slightly pursed, as if she were thinking about something.

She is tall and has tight muscles, showing the results of long-term exercise, but still retains her feminine beauty.

Her legs were straight and slender, eye-catching. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, emitting a charming glow in the sun, as if containing infinite power.

The other one was a short man, with a thin figure, and his height only reached the shoulders of the royal sister.

On a slightly round face, there are a pair of squinting eyes. Although the eyes are small, they reveal shrewdness and cunning, and they roll around like two black beans.

His flat nose, combined with his slightly thick lips, looks a bit funny.

He had messy short black hair, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time, with a few strands of hair standing up stubbornly. At this moment, he was tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of ferocity, but also a hint of panic.

Daisy opened the blood-red crystal in her hand and couldn't help but curse under her breath, "I knew this thing Elder Jeffrey gave me was unreliable!"

Ji Ben said with a puzzled look on his face: "That shouldn't be the case. This thing has never made a mistake. Wait a minute, do you think it's possible that he is also..."

Before the two of them finished their conversation, Merlin suddenly sensed a familiar and unpleasant aura spreading around him.

What is this power? He was shocked and didn't have time to think about it.

"Oh no, the ambush failed, we're surrounded!" As soon as Daisy finished speaking, a little black mist instantly filled the surrounding alleys. The mist was as thick as ink and spread rapidly.

Then, pitch-black figures floated silently in every corner of the alley like ghosts. Their ghostly traces could be seen everywhere on the houses, the ground, and the walls.

Daisy looked at the blood-red crystal in her palm, which had turned black. Her face darkened instantly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This is bad!"

Immediately afterwards, these black "ghosts" attacked the three people like hungry wolves.

Seeing this, Daisy didn't hesitate at all. She flashed and rushed to Merlin, grabbed him, turned around and ran away.

The daggers in Yoshimoto's hands began to spin rapidly, and blue electric light instantly burst out from the blades, crackling.

He waved his hands quickly like a phantom, and with flashes of blue lightning, the walls on both sides were instantly cut open, large pieces of bricks and stones fell, and the walls collapsed.

Daisy held Merlin and retreated quickly.

Gibberish was faster than Daisy. He was as agile as an electric rat and caught up with the two of them in no time.

However, the ghostly figure behind them was chasing them relentlessly, and the ghosts surrounding them from all directions rushed towards the three of them like a tide.

Daisy stopped in a relatively open area and shouted anxiously, "I can't run away! We're surrounded!"

"Try to tear open a hole! Let's break out!" Yoshimoto shouted loudly as he looked at the black figures rushing towards him like a tide.

Merlin felt like his internal organs were about to be thrown out, and the feeling of being trapped was terrible.

He slapped Daisy's thigh hard and yelled at the top of his voice, "Put me down!"

Upon hearing this, Daisy immediately let go of her hand. Merlin stumbled and was thrown to the ground.

Daisy quickly clenched her fists, got into a fighting stance, and said seriously, "When we start fighting, don't stray too far from us!"

"What?" Before Merlin could react, those black-robed shadows rushed over like a black wave.
