Big Capitalist

In a pitch-black space, there appeared a scene as spacious as a conference room.

On the ground, the inky black shadow was boiling violently like boiling liquid.

Then, a tall black figure slowly walked out carrying the masked man who had invited Merlin before, and then threw him aside without mercy.

The mysterious masked man groaned in pain and struggled on the ground.

Seeing this, the black figure threw out a ball of black substance.

Like black mud, the mass quickly adhered to the mutilated half of the mysterious masked man's body and began to reshape itself. However, even as his body gradually recovered, the burning pain caused by the wound from the artifact remained.

The black shadow sat leisurely in the chair and said in a low voice, "I have repaired your body, but the damage left by the artifact will take many years to heal."

"Thank you, sir!"

The mysterious masked man endured the pain, knelt on the ground, and spoke respectfully.

The black shadow looked at him coldly and scolded him, "I asked you to do something and you can't even do it right! I asked you to invite Merlin and test the person behind him, but you actually clashed with him."

The mysterious masked man was terrified and hurriedly explained, "Sir, I did exactly as you ordered! But Merlin seems to be completely unaware of our rules. Maybe... maybe he thought I was an assassin going to attack him, so..."

"Has the plan to recruit that child failed?" At this moment, a clear, pleasant, yet somewhat ethereal voice came from the seat on the other side.

At some point, an elf wrapped in shadows appeared quietly. She held her chin lazily and asked slowly.

The leading figure frowned slightly and said, "It's not very clear yet. From what we know, Merlin should be the agent who was pushed forward by the Arcane Academy. This time, we wanted to invite Merlin to test whether he was willing to join us."

The black shadow paused, and continued, "I will send someone else to invite Merlin again. If he still disagrees, then we can only go to war. After all, the things that Merlin Chamber of Commerce has promoted have already occupied a huge share in the business field. The [Faith] that I pursue, what I fight for, and what I control has begun to be divided."

"Interesting. You mean, he's already started down that path?"

At some point, another person's voice sounded from the other side.

It was also shrouded in darkness, and judging from the outline alone, it should be a human.

The leading shadow nodded and said, "He must have stumbled onto this path by chance. I heard that he awakened the Eye of the God of War and possessed divine power. Perhaps this is why."

"It's really surprising. I saw that child when he was a child, but he didn't show any dazzling 'material', he just looked very good. And it only took him less than two years to rise to where he is now." The human sighed.

The black shadow said calmly, "If you have a demigod behind you... calling that guy a demigod isn't quite right. After all, he's the only one who can kill a true god with the power of a demigod alone. Anyway, if you had the support of that guy from the Arcane Academy, you could achieve this as well."

The leading shadow continued, "I won't allow any changes to my future plans. I will personally go out and invite Merlin once again. If he refuses, we will become enemies. Then we will do our utmost to crush him. Do you two mind?"

The elf smiled softly and said in a voice as sweet as a silver bell, "Just don't kill him."

As for the human, he shrugged indifferently and said, "I don't have any feelings for him. As for my daughter... it's up to you."

"That's fine."

After the leading shadow finished speaking, he looked towards the corner and asked, "Where are you two?"

"Merlin, it has nothing to do with us. However, I don't think he is an agent pushed out by my father. After all, my father would not do such a thing." A slightly childish voice came from the corner.

"Agree." Another voice echoed.

After saying this, the two people's voices gradually faded away, and their figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"That's good."

After the leading shadow finished speaking, the originally dark space seemed unable to withstand some kind of force and suddenly began to collapse. Everything instantly sank into nothingness, as if this place had never existed.

Under the tireless reporting of Barrett and Emma, chief reporters of the Aize Federation, the Earldom of Leo became like a treasure trove whose mystery was unveiled, and more and more Oberon relics came to light.

At first, the magnificent royal tomb astonished the world, and now, more scattered ruins of the ancient city, like pearls sleeping in the arms of the desert, are gradually being excavated.

Every excavation is like opening a door to ancient civilization, and many good things continue to emerge.

The precious Oberon porcelain, with its delicate texture and exquisite patterns, seems to be telling the prosperity of thousands of years ago; the mysterious scrolls of calligraphy and painting, with the poems on them, make countless bards and nobles salivate.

At this critical moment, Merlin made a bold and attractive decision - opening up the right to explore the sand sea.

As long as adventurers or explorers are willing to pay a deposit, they can develop and excavate new ruins on their own once they discover them.

This news swept across the entire Aize continent like a storm, instantly igniting the fire of adventure in the hearts of countless people.

For a time, the Earldom of Rio was bustling with activity, and adventurers and explorers from all corners of the continent flocked there.

Carrying dreams and ambitions, bags and tools, they flocked into this sea of sand like gold diggers, hoping that they could be the lucky one to unearth the mysterious treasure "ONE PIECE" buried beneath the sea of sand.

On the sea of sand, tents are scattered everywhere and camel caravans come and go.

People were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, but their enthusiasm was still high.

Every turning of the sand and every new discovery can trigger cheers or sighs.

Behind this vigorous excavation boom of the Oberon ruins lies Merlin's carefully planned layout.

These so-called newly discovered relics were actually all created by Merlin.

There are no truly rare treasures in the ruins, but they are still imitations of antique calligraphy and paintings. However, since they are produced by the master alchemist, there is no problem in confusing them with the real ones. What's more, the nobles of the Aize Continent are now crazy about these things.
