Big Capitalist

Barrett slowly descended the rope into the well. The well was filled with a damp smell and was so quiet that it was a little eerie.

He gently unfolded the scroll of illumination, and it emitted a soft and bright light, instantly illuminating the scene in the well. The scene before him made him gasp in shock, as he saw all kinds of broken porcelain fragments densely piled up on the calm well water.

These fragments are colorful, with elegant blue and white tones, bright pastel colors, and simple porcelain colors, like a broken dream painting.

Barrett hurriedly took out the broken porcelain piece that he had always treasured from his arms, and carefully compared it with the fragments in the well under the light of the illumination technique.

This comparison made his heart tremble. Whether it was the texture, color, or unique grain of the porcelain, they were exactly the same.

Barrett immediately understood that these fragments were made by Master Lincoln.

Barrett climbed out of the well with difficulty along the rope, filled with shock and excitement.

As he stepped out of the well, he saw Master Lincoln and Emma standing nearby. Lincoln's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and he was staring intently at Barrett. Barrett's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out, "This is bad."

Lincoln's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He asked coldly, "Barrett, what did you see?"

Barrett gritted his teeth, his face was tangled, and finally he said frankly: "I saw it all."

Lincoln was silent for a moment, as if weighing something. Then he waved his hand and said helplessly, "Never mind. Perhaps this is fate."

After that, he invited Barrett and Emma to the house in the back.

Lincoln walked to a corner of the room and gently turned a stone on the wall. With a creaky sound, a secret door slowly opened.

The three of them walked into this room they had never seen before. There was an independent workbench in the room, and various tools for making porcelain were neatly arranged on the table. Next to it were several pots of prepared soil, which was as fine as silk.

On the walls of the room, there are many beautiful and exquisite porcelains hanging. These porcelains have different shapes. Some have graceful and smooth lines, like agile dancers; some have intricate and gorgeous decorations, showing luxury and nobility.

Emma couldn't help but exclaimed: "How much money is this worth? If these porcelains were sold on the market, I could live a comfortable life."

Lincoln ignored Emma's exclamation and walked to the center of the room. He sat cross-legged on a cushion, waved to Barrett and Emma, and then skillfully brewed tea. He poured the brewed tea into two teacups and handed them to the two.

Barrett and Emma were surprised to find that the teacup handed over was actually an extremely precious porcelain Jianzhan cup.

They took it carefully, as if they were holding a rare treasure and were afraid of damaging it by accident.

Lincoln looked at the two of them and said slowly, "You must have a lot of questions. If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything."

Barrett felt that his sincerity and dedication to Lincoln had finally touched him, so he couldn't wait to ask, "Master Lincoln, what's the matter with the porcelain in the well? And what about these porcelains in this room? Who are you?"

Lincoln was silent for a moment, then slowly began to speak, "The porcelain fragments in the well are all failed porcelain productions. Porcelain, unlike pottery, is extremely difficult to produce. Even the slightest flaw cannot be considered a successful work. As for the porcelain in this room, they are the best works I have ever made. And haven't you guessed my identity?"

Barrett asked tentatively, "Are you truly the inherited craftsman of the Oberon civilization?"

Lincoln nodded and said with a somewhat dejected look, "Yes, I have been guarding here for generations, not wanting anyone to disturb the tranquility of our ancestors. But I didn't expect that I would be discovered in the end."

Barrett then asked, "Apart from you, is there anyone else?"

Lincoln smiled without saying anything, and Barrett seemed to understand what Lincoln meant.

That night, Barrett, like a student eager to learn, asked Lincoln many questions about the porcelain making process and also inquired about many doubts in his mind.

Lincoln patiently answered his questions one by one, and the mystery in Barrett's heart was fully resolved that night.

Then Barrett asked, "Master Lincoln, can I make this public?"

Lincoln asked, "If I say it's not public, will you keep it a secret for me?"

Barrett and Emma looked at each other with difficulty.

After finally digging up such important news, I would be unwilling to keep it secret.

Lincoln laughed heartily upon seeing this and said, "No need to keep it secret. I won't be able to hide my identity for long. You can do whatever you want with it."

This made Emma and Barrett ecstatic. They thanked old man Lincoln gratefully and left in a hurry.

Lincoln watched the two men leave, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself, "Damn, acting is so tiring. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. I'll go to Merlin's Crown Casino and relax."

That's right, from the moment Barrett and Emma set foot in Earl Rio's territory, their every move and every action was actually carefully planned by Merlin.

Merlin knew very well that if he wanted to let the world know about Lincoln, the master who could make porcelain, he needed a clever plan. After all, if they discovered it first, it might arouse unnecessary suspicion. It would be better to let the people of the Aize Federation discover it on their own initiative!

So, he took advantage of Barrett and Emma's keen sense of smell and persistent pursuit of news, and carefully designed a series of seemingly accidental events, leading them step by step to discover Lincoln's secret.

When Barrett and Emma handed over the detailed investigation materials to the Aize Federation, it was like a blockbuster bomb exploded within the Aize Federation.

The entire federation was instantly thrown into an uproar, with people rushing to tell each other, full of curiosity and amazement about this amazing secret hidden around them.

Soon, the latest issue of the Aize Federation Newspaper appeared before the public with a striking headline: "Shocking! A porcelain master hidden in the Earldom of Leo, inheritor of the Oberon civilization, a legendary craftsman! The porcelain immortal reappears on the Aize Continent!"

Next to the title is a picture of Master Lincoln's porcelain-firing workshop and the exquisite porcelain. The porcelain in the picture sparkles with a charming luster under the light, as if telling the mysterious story of ancient civilization.

This news swept across the entire Aize continent like a whirlwind.

People find it hard to believe that the amazing porcelain-making skills of the Oberon civilization have been miraculously preserved through the test of time, and that the inheritor of this skill, Master Lincoln, has been living in the Earldom of Rio, silently guarding this precious heritage of civilization.

People of all races and countries were shocked by the news. No matter they were nobles or commoners, scholars or businessmen, they all focused their attention on the territory of Earl Leo. A craze about Oberon civilization and porcelain craftsmanship swept across the continent of Aize.
