Big Capitalist

Walking side by side with the Ancient Tree of War is the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, whose shapes appear more elegant and mysterious.

The trunk is slender and straight, the surface is smooth as a mirror, and it exudes a faint light of wisdom.

The crown of the tree is in a unique spiral shape, as if it contains endless mysteries of knowledge.

The leaves are as thin as book pages, engraved with ancient words and runes, as if telling the long history and mysterious magical knowledge.

The Ancient Tree of Knowledge carried many handsome and beautiful elves, and behind them, the nuns and priests of the Moon Temple followed on spirit deer.

At the same time, a deafening roar of steam was heard. The person in charge of the Xiguang Chamber of Commerce looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge steam magic-powered car slowly approaching.

This power vehicle is like a mobile steel fortress. Its body is made of thick steel and covered with a layer of black paint, which reflects a cold luster under the sunlight.

At the front of the train, thick smoke continuously spewed out from the huge chimney, accompanied by the "puffing" sound of steam, like a roaring steel giant.

The wheels of the power car are huge and solid, each one is more than one person tall, and is covered with complex gears and chains. As the power car moves, these gears and chains engage with each other, making a rhythmic "click" sound.

The power car is printed with the logo of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce Civil Engineering Construction Team, which is a pattern composed of a hammer and a compass, symbolizing the construction team's professionalism and precision in engineering construction.

The power car was filled with a large number of students from the Arcane Academy. They were wearing uniform uniforms, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

The leader was none other than Garant, who stood at the front of the car, commanding the entire convoy in a majestic manner.

Behind him is a huge construction team, as majestic as a steel torrent.

The steam magic-powered vehicles are closely connected to each other, and each vehicle is loaded with various building materials, including huge stones, thick wood, and bags of cement and magic crystals.

These building materials will become the cornerstone for transforming the Rio family's territory, witnessing the great changes that are about to come to this land.

Father Pucci, the head of the Church of Light in the Arcane City, rushed to the Leo family's territory overnight with the nuns and priests of the Church of Light.

Today, he has been promoted to archbishop, all thanks to his close reliance on the big tree of Merlin.

Therefore, when Merlin summoned the senior priests to draw the light magic circle, he did not hesitate to rush ahead of the other bishops and volunteered to bring his men to the Earldom of Rio.

The head of Xiguang Chamber of Commerce was completely stunned. He widened his eyes and stared at the dreamlike scene in front of him, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

After a long while, he finally woke up from his dream and ran towards the street, heading straight for Count Leo's palace.

When he arrived at the Earl's Mansion breathlessly, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

Merlin was seen standing at the door of the Earl's Mansion, chatting and laughing with a group of important people whom he would never be able to meet in his lifetime.

Among them was the powerful Finance Minister of the Dawn Empire, who usually issued orders in the core power area of the empire and controlled the financial lifeline of the entire empire. But at this moment, he was all smiles and had a pleasant conversation with Merlin; there were also members of the Elder Council of the Aize Federation, who held a vital position in the federation. Every decision they made could affect the direction of the federation, and at this moment, they were also listening respectfully to Merlin's words; there were also members of the elven royal family, who exuded a noble and mysterious temperament, and were elegant in their every gesture, and were communicating cordially with Merlin.

However, what shocked him the most was that his immediate superior, the president of the Xiguang Chamber of Commerce, was speaking to Merlin with a fawning look on his face. His attitude was extremely humble.

Merlin smiled and warmly welcomed these people, and then began to discuss specific issues such as the construction of the teleportation array, the demolition and construction of territory buildings, and desert greening.

He clearly explained his ideas and plans, as well as the huge amount of gold coins invested behind them. Relying on these gold coins, every word he said seemed to have strong persuasive power, making everyone present nod frequently.

The head of the Earldom of Leo of the Xiguang Chamber of Commerce stood there blankly, watching the scene in front of him, unable to calm down for a long time.

His heart was like a turmoil, with mixed emotions.

The reason why Merlin chose to hold a meeting at the gate of the Earl's manor with all the arriving parties was because the Earl's mansion, which had been carefully maintained by the head of the Xiguang Chamber of Commerce, was directly demolished after Garant arrived with a construction team.

Not only that, every building in the entire city was divided into areas to be demolished in sequence.

The city wall, which he once regarded as his pride and spent a lot of effort to repair and reinforce, could not escape Merlin's "demolition order".

In Merlin's opinion, the city walls could not pose any obstacle to those powerful magicians, and their defensive effect was almost zero.

As for the armies of other forces, who would be so blind as to dare to offend me now?

After all, Merlin now has an extraordinary status and is supported by many powerful forces.

In his eyes, the city wall was a kind of constraint.

As long as the city walls are demolished, the city can expand unlimitedly within the territory without restrictions, making more space for future development and bringing more possibilities.

With the full support of Merlin's powerful connections and abundant funds, the Earldom of Rio began a complete transformation from head to toe, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

The once dilapidated and desolate scene is gradually fading away, replaced by a scene of bustling construction.

On the construction site, massive steam-powered vehicles shuttled back and forth. Students from the Arcane Academy collaborated closely with professional craftsmen, the glow of magic intertwining with the roar of machinery. In the distance, the Ancient Tree of War and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge used their unique abilities to assist in the transformation of the land, while the elves directed the work methodically from the side.

The head of Xiguang Chamber of Commerce stood aside, watching the scene with a complicated expression.

In the past, he had devoted all his energy to this territory, trying his best to plan and build it, trying to make it better. But now, facing the storm of change set off by Merlin, he felt that all his previous efforts were like an insignificant joke.

At this moment, Merlin noticed the arrival of the head of the Earl of Rio territory of the Xiguang Chamber of Commerce. A cheerful expression immediately appeared on his face and he waved to him from a distance.

The person in charge was stunned at first, then subconsciously pointed at himself. When he saw Merlin nodded affirmatively, he suddenly felt excited.

After all, those present were all important figures whom he could only look up to on a daily basis. He hurriedly nodded and bowed, with a bit of nervousness and awe, trotting forward, muttering to himself: "Hello, everyone, hello, everyone..."
