Big Capitalist

As natural craftsmen and inventors, the dwarves have a unique passion for the technology and craftsmanship of ancient civilizations.

When the news of the remains of the Oberon civilization arrived, the dwarf king immediately ordered the formation of an exploration team consisting of the country's top craftsmen, engineers, and experts in ancient civilization technology.

These short but intelligent dwarves, carrying their various tools and instruments, boarded a specially made steam train and headed towards the territory of Earl Rio, hoping to discover valuable knowledge in the ruins that could improve the technological level of the dwarves.

After learning that Merlin was open for exploration, the other races also sent their own expedition teams. The six empires and major races sent their carefully selected "archaeologists", "relic experts" and "Oberon civilization experts" to the territory of Earl Leo like a tide.

For a while, the road leading to the Earl of Rio's territory was bustling with people coming and going.

All parties have different goals and expectations. An exploration and competition around the remains of Oberon civilization is about to begin in the territory of Earl Rio.

In the territory of Earl Rio, Merlin stood on the high tower of the castle, overlooking the already bustling city. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Adventurers, explorers, mercenaries... six empires and various races, this is truly a rare spectacle."

Dunlop stood beside Merlin, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

He looked at the dense crowd outside, the adventurers and mercenaries with greed in their eyes, as well as the forces sent by the six empires and major races, and felt a deep fear in his heart.

He asked Merlin in a trembling voice, "President Merlin, do you really want to do this? I... I'm just a student who just entered the fifth level. I can't do this at all."

Dunlop, the necromancer, is a treasure in Merlin's eyes.

He possesses a talent that even the dark magic world covets, and can be described as a rare black magic genius that appears once in a thousand years.

It is precisely because of this terrifying talent that countless evil people in the dark magic world covet his body, trying to take over his body in order to gain this power.

If he had not been protected by the Arcane Academy, he would have been captured by the dark forces and met a tragic end.

This student who had shown great prowess in the Monster Mountain Range was now filled with fear.

During this period, he has been controlling thousands of skeletons, mechanically producing small commodities on the assembly line, and earning a lot of gold coins.

Originally, he thought that he would live a peaceful life in the Arcane City and become a wealthy tycoon. Unexpectedly, he was involved in such a scam of the century and came to the territory of Earl Rio.

Merlin had already informed Dunlop of the details of Oberon's civilization plan, which shocked the young boy greatly.

When he learned that Merlin wanted him to control the undead creatures to attack the six empires, the Aize Federation and explorers from various races, he even suspected that Merlin wanted him to die.

Merlin patted Dunlop's shoulder gently and comforted him, "Relax, kid, don't be so scared. Vice Dean Jenny will protect your safety in secret. You just need to control the undead creatures in a hidden place."

Dunlop wanted to refuse, but he knew in his heart that since he learned about the plan of the Oberon ruins, it was like he was on a train that could not be stopped, and he could only follow Merlin to the end.

Otherwise, you will be afraid to walk at night in the future, and you may encounter an accident at any time.

Merlin continued, "Don't worry, your undead creatures are just supporting. You can't really attack the main force of the expedition team."

After hearing this, Dunlop breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was barely acceptable.

Just then, the office door was gently pushed open, and Elsa and Stacy walked in.

Elsa said with a worried look on her face, "Merlin, is this really going to work? There are so many people coming from outside. Can the ruins we built really fool these cunning guys?"

Merlin smiled confidently and said, "We have to have confidence in ourselves. Our team has three alchemy masters, you are the distinguished High Priest of the Moon, and there is also a legendary wizard. Haven't we gone through many tests before? The internal structure of the ruins is quite perfect, and ordinary people can't see any flaws at all."

After saying that, Merlin turned to look at Stacy and asked, "Stacy, have you arranged all the 'treasures' I asked you to place?"

Stacy nodded and replied, "Everything has been arranged. But Merlin, are you sure you don't want to place some magic and alchemy technology in the ruins? The six empires, various races, and even the Aize Federation, they came here this time, most likely for the advanced magic and alchemy technology."

Merlin shook his head and said, "Of course not. The alchemy techniques we currently possess are more or less tainted with modern magic, and if we introduce them, it'll be easily exposed. Don't worry, haven't we engraved some advanced magical concepts on bamboo slips? We'll only give them a rough framework and let them imagine and find specific methods to implement them."

After hearing this, Stacy nodded in agreement.

Just then, Yuna hurried in with a stack of documents and said, "More and more people are coming to the territory. How should we welcome them? Or, in other words, how should we accommodate them?"

Merlin asked, "Has the 'Dome' been built?"

Yuna replied, "It's already been completed, everything is ready."

Merlin's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light, and he said, "Well, let's open the 'Dome' directly and the plan will officially start."

When Yuna heard Merlin say this, she laughed like a cunning fire fox.

She was thinking to herself, is this project, which has cost hundreds of millions of gold coins, finally going to bear fruit?

The so-called "Dome" is a massive building newly constructed within the territory of the Earl of Rio. From a distance, its unique shape resembles an egg lying quietly on a table.

This seemingly strange building is actually a large-scale casino.

That’s right! It’s a casino!

In the continent of Aize, gambling culture is still at a very low level. In the past, gambling methods were extremely simple, with only simple ways of playing such as dice.

It was not until Merlin launched Arena of Valor and Mahjong, two novel gambling methods, that the gambling forms here became more diverse.

Due to the scarcity of resources in the Earldom of Rio, apart from the expensive Oberon ruins, there is really nothing else that can particularly attract outsiders.

Therefore, Merlin planned to vigorously develop the gambling industry to attract people from all walks of life to the Rio family's territory.

After all, there had been no formal large-scale gambling industry in the continent of Aize before, and Merlin's goal was to turn the Earldom of Rio into a gambling destination as famous as Macau and Las Vegas.
