Big Capitalist

Yoshimoto also raised his shotgun and shot his targets one by one.

He shouted excitedly: "This thing is much more useful than a dagger!"

Daisy had never seen such a weapon and was shocked.

What the hell is this thing? A single strike from it can possess the power of fourth-level magic.

Just when everyone was fighting fiercely, suddenly a sharp and piercing sound was heard.

Those guys who were originally attacking Merlin and the other two madly seemed to have heard some kind of command and stopped attacking instantly. Instead, they turned around and began to run away desperately, retreating quickly in all directions.

How could Merlin easily let go of these guys who dared to attack him? He immediately expanded his domain without hesitation.

"Domain expansion? Equivalent exchange!"

With Merlin's loud shout, a golden halo of light instantly spread out from under his feet like ripples.

When Gibberne and Daisy saw this scene, they were both stunned, their eyes full of shock.

Merlin looked at the scope of his territory and frowned slightly, as if he felt it was not enough.

Afterwards, he quickly took out several pieces of alchemical equipment from his storage ring and shouted in a low voice, "Sacrifice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, these priceless alchemical equipment, worth more than 100,000 gold coins in total, instantly turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.

Then, the scope of Merlin's domain suddenly doubled, like a big net, instantly covering all the fleeing guys.

"Don't move!" Merlin sacrificed five pieces of alchemical equipment again. As the golden light flashed in the field, the fleeing attackers were like being cast under a spell. They were unable to move in an instant and remained frozen in their fleeing posture.

Within the realm, nothing escapes the perception of the releaser.

Merlin instantly noticed a person hiding in the bell tower. This person's aura was obviously different from the others, and he looked like the leader of this group.

At this moment, he was holding a strange bell in his hand, and his whole body was frozen in place, motionless.

Merlin smiled coldly and waved his hand in the air. In an instant, the space around him seemed to be reversed.

The guy holding the bell on the bell tower and all the other attackers appeared in front of Merlin in an instant.

"Come, let me see who you are!" Merlin said as he reached out to take off the other's hood.

Just as his hand was about to touch the other person's hood, the guy holding the bell suddenly released a huge amount of divine power from his body.

Dazzling light gushed out of his eyes, mouth, ears, and nostrils like a fountain, and the same thing happened to the other attackers.

Merlin reacted extremely quickly when he saw this scene and raised his hand suddenly.

In an instant, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were turned upside down, and the group of attackers instantly appeared above the imperial capital.

Then, like a bloody fireworks display, the attackers blew themselves up.

Blood flowers bloomed brilliantly in the sky, like blooming blood-colored flowers, and then turned into blood rain falling from the sky. The scene was extremely terrifying.

Merlin looked at the bell falling from the sky, and with a casual move of his hand, the bell fell steadily into his hand.

He looked at it carefully and saw that the bell had an ancient shape and its surface was engraved with mysterious shamanic images and texts.

The pictures and texts include solemn scenes of worshiping Mother Earth, strange symbols symbolizing the soul, and lifelike wolf patterns, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

As Merlin was carefully examining the bell, Daisy and Gibbon approached cautiously, their faces filled with vigilance. Daisy was the first to ask Merlin, "Who are you?"

Merlin put away the bell, then looked at Daisy and Gibberne and asked, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Why did you two attack me in the first place? And what is the connection between those guys and the Ancient God Cult?"

Daisy and Gibbon exchanged a glance, seemingly exchanging some opinions. After a moment, Daisy slowly spoke, "We are from the Temple of War."

"Temple of War God? Your leader shouldn't be called Shura or Dragon King, right?" Merlin couldn't help but sarcastically complained.

"What are you talking about?" Daisy and Gibberne looked confused, completely unable to understand what Merlin was saying.

Merlin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just think of it as me having a fit. So, tell me, why did the people from the Temple of War attack me in the first place?"

Daisy took out the blood crystal she had just seen. As she slowly moved closer to Merlin, the blood-red color of the crystal gradually deepened, and finally turned into an inky black.

Pointing at the crystal, she explained, "We were planning to hunt down the guys who attacked us earlier. This is a bloodline crystal. Anyone with the bloodline of the God of War can be sensed by this crystal."

The bloodline of the God of War? Merlin was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be related to the bloodline of the God of War.

"You mean to say that those guys who attacked us just now actually have the blood of the God of War? How can there be so many?" Merlin asked in shock.

"That's right, but the ones who attacked us were not of pure War God bloodline, but guys created through some unknown method. You should have felt that they lack emotions and are just like tools." Yoshimoto nodded and said seriously.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I have a sense of familiarity." Merlin suddenly remembered the time when he was attacked in the senior dormitory of the Arcane Academy, as well as the attacks before that. Could it be that he was targeted because of his bloodline of the God of War?

"A few years ago, a group of individuals appeared on the Aize Continent who specialized in hunting down those with the bloodline of the God of War. To survive, those of us who still possess the bloodline of the God of War could only band together to fight against this evil force."

After Daisy finished speaking, she looked at Merlin with a strange expression and continued, "The blood crystal shows that you have the blood of the God of War, but something seems wrong..."

"What's wrong?" Merlin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

At this moment, Ji Ben's expression tensed and he urged, "Stop talking here. I can sense hurried footsteps. I think the imperial guards are coming. Let's talk about it when we get back!"

With that, Gibberne and Daisy took Merlin on each side and quickly left the scene.

Soon after, a team of royal guards quickly arrived at the scene.

The leading member of the Royal Guard looked around at the messy environment, then glanced at the direction where Merlin and the other two left, but did not chase them.

He took out a bell from his arms that was exactly the same as the one Merlin took away.

"Jingle Bell--"

He gently shook the bell, and in an instant, wisps of blood in the air continued to spread, like tiny blood-colored threads, converging towards the bell, and finally all floated into the bell.

On the other side, Merlin, Daisy and Gibberne came to the door of a dilapidated church.

Daisy reached out and pushed the door open, the hinges creaking. As she entered, she shouted, "I'm back!" The sound echoed in the empty church.
