Big Capitalist

Merlin raised his hand and said in a feigned dissatisfaction: "Why do you all seem so old-fashioned? Have you forgotten that we are still sophomores in the Arcane Academy? Don't be so serious."

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, Carl, Shirley, and Delia rolled their eyes and thought to themselves: Aren't you the one who least fits the identity of a second-year student here?

Look at your series of business operations and the huge power you control. You don’t look like an ordinary second-grade student.

Alex was giggling "hehehe" on the side, not caring about the slightly subtle atmosphere at all.

Carl was the first to break the silence and asked Merlin, "Seriously, President Merlin, what's the matter with calling us here?"

Merlin's expression straightened, and he said, "I plan to invest in your Wind Mercenary Group, and I hope you can go explore the Oberon Ruins."

When Carl and Alex heard this, they couldn't help but look surprised.

Carl hurriedly said, "Is it really possible? I heard that the Oberon Ruins are quite dangerous. Even sixth-level experts have been seriously injured after entering. Isn't this too risky for us?"

Alex also agreed, "Yes, Merlin, our Wind Mercenary Group has just started. There are not many members in the mercenary group at present. Brother Carl is taking the elite route. I am afraid it will be a bit difficult for us to rashly go to the Oberon Ruins."

Merlin smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I've got you covered. It'll be no problem. Besides, the Oberon Ruins are a rare training ground for you. There, you'll gain not only wealth, but also valuable experience and opportunities for growth."

Carl pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and felt that this was indeed a good opportunity to enhance the strength and reputation of the mercenary group, so he nodded and agreed to Merlin's proposal: "Okay, Merlin, since you are so confident, let's give it a try!"

Merlin said with satisfaction: "Very good!"

As he spoke, he picked up the communication crystal and quickly sent a few messages. Then he said, "I've already made arrangements with the Merlin Chamber of Commerce. You should go to the Chamber of Commerce later and choose the appropriate alchemical tools and weapons to equip your mercenary group. I can't let my investment go to waste."

At this time, Delia and Shirley found that their communication crystals also made a prompt sound.

The two looked at the communication crystal in confusion. Seeing the information displayed on it, they couldn't help but said in surprise, "We have a share too?"

Merlin smiled and winked, then said, "Of course! Aren't you all a team? We should share the happiness."

Shirley and Delia immediately looked delighted, and they looked at Karl.

Carl smiled and nodded. "The Gale Mercenary Group has always reserved a place for you two. We are good partners who have lived and died together. We will always be a team."

Shirley excitedly clenched her staff and said with a smile, "Great! We can finally go on adventures together again! Although guiding the goblins to believe in the Holy Light is also very interesting, I still miss the days when our team went on adventures together. That was really exciting!"

Delia also said with emotion: "Yes, we were very poor back then. Before I met Merlin, we went out together to hunt monsters to make money. We went deep into the Monster Mountain Range to pick herbs and make potions. We finally paid off the tuition with great difficulty. Thinking about it now, it really is an unforgettable experience."

Merlin clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Okay, everyone, get ready. Here is some information about the Oberon ruins, you can take a look. At the same time, during the exploration, you can also record the intelligence information inside and then sell it to the Merlin Chamber of Commerce. Our Merlin Chamber of Commerce will sell this information, which can also be regarded as an extra income for you."

Intelligence? How could Merlin possibly be short of information on the Oberon ruins?

The created creatures, the undead controlling them, and the detailed map of the ruins were now lying quietly under the desk.

After all, the entire ruins were planned and built by them, and Merlin knew every detail of it.

But he naturally would not tell the truth to everyone. However, as the exploration of the ruins progressed, he did not mind using the excuse of the Gale Mercenary Group's investigation to sell some information about the Oberon ruins.

As for Karl and the others being in danger? How could that be possible? The one in charge of the Oberon Ruins was Vice Dean Jenny. How could she allow the outstanding students of her own academy to be hurt?

In the ruins of Oberon, a new surprise is shaking the continent of Azer.

This time, a magical "Suzhou embroidery" was unearthed. It was extremely well preserved, like a shining pearl, once again showing the mysterious charm of Oberon civilization to everyone.

The delicate needlework skillfully interweaves the silk threads together, creating exquisite picturesque patterns.

It seems that every stitch and every thread contains the wisdom and ingenuity of ancient civilization.

Upon seeing this piece of "Suzhou embroidery," all the races of the Azer Continent marveled at the incredible craftsmanship of the Oberon civilization. They couldn't help but imagine how prestigious it would be to wear a piece of clothing made of Suzhou embroidery.

However, such an idea can only remain in imagination. After all, in the eyes of everyone, such exquisite craftsmanship must have been lost long ago, and it would be extremely difficult to see such a treasure again.

At the same time, at the Aize Federation Newspaper, veteran reporter Barrett and his assistant Emma arrived at the Earldom of Rio after a long journey.

As the reputation of the Azer Arcane Newspaper grew, the Azer Federation, the six empires, and the major races all keenly realized the enormous influence of newspapers and periodicals, and launched their own newspapers, which were simultaneously distributed on the Magic Net. Among the numerous newspapers, the Azer Arcane Newspaper still held the top spot, followed closely by the Azer Federation Newspaper, which was also quite influential.

Emma looked at Barrett with confusion and couldn't help asking, "Senior, shouldn't our mission this time be to go to the Oberon ruins to obtain first-hand news information? Why are we wandering around the Leo family territory now? Besides, haven't we already reported on the changes in Earl Leo's territory?"

Barrett didn't answer Emma's question immediately. His eyes were fixed on the documents in his hands.

This document was no simple matter; it contained the basic information on the residents of the territory he had obtained with considerable effort from the City Hall of the Earldom of Rio. Based on this information, he was methodically planning his visits to the relevant individuals.

He knew in his heart that in this seemingly ordinary territory, there might be unknown clues hidden, and these clues might bring unexpected breakthroughs to their reports.
