Big Capitalist

Many descendants of the God of War had tears in their eyes and cried with emotion.

The lizardman even wiped away a tear and said with emotion, "In the past, we often slept in the wild, finding a cave or a forest to spend the night. Sometimes in the forest, we had to be constantly vigilant against attacks from monsters. Who would have thought that we would be able to live in such a nice place today? It's like a dream!"

The goblin followed suit, saying, "Yeah. Before, to save a few gold coins, everyone was crowded into cheap taverns, which were dirty and messy. Now look at this place, it's incredible."

The dog-headed man said gratefully, "I didn't even have a proper bed before. I slept on the hard floor, which was uncomfortable. Today, I can live in such a beautiful house. I really don't know how to thank you, Palace Master."

Merlin was very confused as he listened to their words.

He really doubted how the Temple of War God was operated before. Aren't there fifth-level or even sixth-level strongmen here?

What kind of bad management could make these powerful men sleep in a cheap tavern?

Just as everyone was immersed in their feelings about their new residence, Yuna walked in hurriedly from outside, holding a pile of documents in her arms.

She placed the documents on the table and began to introduce them one by one: "These are the official endorsements from the Dawn Empire, which recognize the War Temple's status as a temple, recognize this church, and will grant it official protection. There is also the official endorsement from the Aize Federation, which also recognizes its legal status."

As she spoke, she picked up a few more documents and continued, "Besides that, there are also various procedural documents here to ensure that the War God Temple's operations in all aspects are legal and compliant."

The descendants of the God of War were all stunned when they looked at the pile of documents. They had never expected that things would progress so quickly.

Merlin carefully collected the documents and handed a copy to Daisy, instructing her, "Keep these safe. You'll need them if you face inspections from the Dawn Empire and the Aize Federation. Also, since you've become a formal temple, you must pay taxes according to regulations. You can't be careless about this."

Daisy and the others were simply stunned. They couldn't believe that in just a short while, the Temple of War God was truly established.

Daisy said in disbelief, "How could this happen so quickly? When North was still around, he applied countless times to the Dawn Empire and the Aize Federation to establish the Temple of War and the Church of War, but each time he was rejected for various reasons. After years of trying, there was no result."

Yuna secretly curled her lips in her heart, thinking, who is North? I have never heard of him. He looks like a guy with no power. How can he be compared with Merlin?

What is Merlin's status and position, and what is North?

Besides, many officials of the Aize Federation had long been "corrupted" by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Chamber of Commerce through money, places in the Arcane Academy, convenient facilities for future generations, and allocation of civil service places in the Arcane City.

If we let them do something, wouldn't it be fast?

Not to mention establishing a new church temple, even if Merlin planned to run for prime minister of the Aize Federation, the probability of success was 50%!

Merlin looked at Daisy and said with a smile, "Don't make a fuss, this is all normal operation."

Then, he turned to Yuna and asked, "Have the reports I submitted earlier regarding the Ancient God Cult been accepted?"

Yuna quickly replied, "Of course we accepted it. You are a senior councilor of the Aize Federation and a permanent member of the Arcane City and the Arcane Academy. The Dawn Empire's attack by the Ancient God Cult has attracted the Federation's high attention."

Arthur also said, "The Aize Federation has held our Dawn Empire accountable for this matter. We in the Dawn Empire are also taking it very seriously."

Yuna continued, "The Aize Federation will dispatch the Inquisition, which specializes in hunting down members of the Ancient God Cult, to assist the Royal Guards of the Dawn Empire in an anti-cult operation lasting more than six months. We must eradicate the Ancient God Cult's influence in the Dawn Empire."

The members of the Temple of War God were stunned. They didn't know how many times they had been shocked, and they were even starting to feel numb.

"Inquisition? Royal Guard? Cult Suppression Operation? Is there any need to be so exaggerated?"

They muttered to themselves.

Merlin looked at the astonished faces of the members of the Temple of War, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he secretly sighed in his heart: This is the beauty of power, this is the influence brought by status.

Was it really necessary for him to personally take action against an opponent like the Ancient God Cult? That would be too cheap!

At this time, Stacy also came over to report: "After learning that President Merlin was attacked, many nobles, aristocratic families, chambers of commerce, and large mercenary groups have expressed their condolences to you and have dispatched some personnel to the Dawn Empire to participate in the operation to eliminate the Ancient God Cult."

The members of the Temple of War God were all confused and looked at each other with a "???" expression.

Yuna continued, "The elves, upon learning you were attacked, have already dispatched the Moon Temple's Chimera Punishment Army! Alicia has even threatened to wipe out the entire Dawn Empire's Ancient God Cult to avenge you. Furthermore, the Sea Temple, the Beast Empire, the Church of Light, and other forces have expressed their intention to send reinforcements."

Merlin quickly said, "That's too much. Just the thought is enough. Stacy, tell these forces there's no need for such a drastic action. This will only bring unnecessary trouble to the Dawn Empire. But we also need to be grateful for their assistance and must express our gratitude."

After hearing this, the members of the Temple of War were completely stunned.

They wondered what a high status their Palace Master had in the Aize Continent, and why all the major forces were vying to stand up for him?

Merlin thought for a moment and said, "Pick a few reliable mercenary groups and adventure groups, and give them a chance to affiliate with the War God Temple and have the War God Temple reach a cooperation agreement with them."

After saying this, he glanced at Daisy and the others, then continued, "These are the bodyguards I found for you. These mercenary and adventure groups are among the continent's top groups. They can serve as non-staff personnel and you can deploy them at will. As for the price of cooperation, I will negotiate with them. By the way, if these guys say they want to join the Temple of War and become devout believers, you are 99% sure not to believe them. After all, mercenaries are like this. As long as it benefits them, they will say anything. Many of them believe in five or six gods at once, just to enjoy discounts and some small benefits in various churches."

Daisy was already numb. She raised her head and murmured, "Palace Master, who are you?"

"President of the Arcane Academy Student Union, Secretary of the Arcane City Committee, Senior Councillor and Standing Member of the Aize Federation, High Priest of the Moon at the Elven Moon Temple, Alchemist's Guild..."

Merlin paused for a moment, then smiled crookedly. "Forget it. I have too many titles to list now. Don't worry about my identity. In front of you, I am the Lord of the Temple of War God!"
