Big Capitalist

Of course, Merlin also knows that simple old things cannot fully satisfy people's desire for exploration.

So, he placed some magical theories that had never been made public by the Arcane Academy in the ruins.

But these theories are just a framework, like the skeleton of a house, without any substantial content.

Merlin would naturally not easily reveal the detailed magical knowledge and key steps to others.

But even so, the nobles of the Aize continent are still very fond of it.

For them, excavating these relics is not only an opportunity to gain wealth, but also a symbol of identity and status.

Possessing an object unearthed from the ruins of Oberon, whether it be aged porcelain or a fragment of a magical theory, can make them stand out in social situations and become the center of attention.

The ruins of Oberon have now become a symbol of wealth on the continent of Azer, like a huge magnet emitting alluring light, attracting countless greedy eyes.

In order to compete for the development rights of the ruins, fierce and brutal battles are constantly taking place on this land.

Scenes of serious injuries and death have long been commonplace in this place full of desires and disputes.

In order to achieve their goals, various adventure groups and mercenary groups will stop at nothing, and they will trip each other up openly or covertly, using all kinds of sinister and cunning means.

Most of them have no bottom line and only care about the relics that represent wealth.

In their view, any price is worth paying as long as they can obtain the treasure.

Amidst the chaos and noise, no one noticed some strange details.

Whether it is the blood of the wounded flowing on the sand, or the bodies of those who died unfortunately and were casually abandoned, they will gradually fade away without anyone noticing, and eventually disappear in the territory, as if being silently swallowed by this land.

And in the ancestral land of the Leo family, the seemingly ordinary hill was undergoing strange changes.

It seemed to have life, trembling slightly, as if it was breathing, and it seemed to be brewing something with its ups and downs.

The night was as dark as ink, shrouding the Leo family's ancestral land in silence.

Two people, wrapped tightly like dumplings, sneaked towards the ancestral land.

They held digging tools such as shovels tightly in their hands, looked nervous, and took every step carefully.

The two, one fat and one thin, formed a sharp contrast. The thin one looked smart and capable, like the older brother; the fat one was a little honest, like the younger brother.

The fat brother couldn't help but grumble to his thin brother, "How strange! This is the ancestral land of the Leo family. How come there's no one guarding it? And brother, are you sure there are ruins here?"

The thin brother patted his chest confidently and said, "Of course there will be! Think about it, the territory of Earl Rio is the birthplace of the Oberon civilization. Many Oberon civilization relics have been found here during this period. The theory about Feng Shui that the Wind Mercenaries found in the relics some time ago mentioned that the Oberon civilization attached great importance to Feng Shui. They would carefully select Feng Shui treasures as their own tombs."

The fat brother nodded, not quite understanding, and said "Oh", then asked: "Then what does this have to do with us coming here?"

The thin brother rolled his eyes at him and continued, "Think about it, a lot of legendary craftsmen have emerged in the Earldom of Leo recently. Master Lincoln is one thing, but more recently, there's this Suzhou embroidery grandma. Perhaps many of the residents of this territory are descendants of the Oberon people, and the Leo family might have once been aristocrats of the Oberon civilization."

The fat brother's eyes widened, and he said in shock: "Wow, you are worthy of being my brother. You can actually analyze so many things!"

The thin brother smiled proudly and said, "You still have a lot to learn. Think about it again. If my guess is correct, the Leo family's ancestral land must be a place with the best feng shui. Then there must be relics of the Oberon civilization underneath, maybe even a huge tomb!"

The fat brother hesitated for a moment and said, "But isn't it a bad idea to dig up other people's ancestral graves? If President Merlin finds out, we'll definitely be in big trouble."

The thin brother quickly covered his mouth, looked around, and whispered, "So we have to be sneaky and careful, and don't let anyone find out. Let's make a fortune quietly and run away with a quick buck."

After saying that, the thin brother reached into his space ring and took out a bunch of things. The fat brother came over curiously and asked quickly, "Brother, what are these?"

The thin brother fiddled with these things while explaining, "These are all essential treasures for the Oberon Ruins. They're all made by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce, specifically for the Oberon Ruins. Look, this is the Luoyang Shovel, perfect for digging the soil and finding tomb passages. This is the Black Donkey Hoof, which is said to be able to subdue the undead creatures in the Oberon Ruins. And this black dog blood and talisman are all good things to save your life. I heard that the Oberon civilization developed them specifically to subdue the undead, and many mercenary groups have used them to great effect."

It must be effective. After all, these things are sold by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce, and the undead creatures in the ruins are controlled by Dunlop and others. Others have spent money to buy the props, so the service must be good.

The thin brother continued, "But these things seem to only be effective against the undead creatures in the Oberon ruins. I don't know why. Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, let's start digging."

So, in the dead of night, the two brothers, eager for wealth, began to dig secretly in the ancestral land of Count Rio...

The two brothers dug hard in the dark of night, their tightly wrapped clothes soaked with sweat.

After some effort, there was a muffled "boom" sound, and the cave suddenly collapsed and a gap appeared. The thin man dug out a passage along the loose soil and rocks.

The passage was spacious but pitch black, like the gaping mouth of a giant beast, with no one knowing where it led.

The fat brother's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Brother, you are so amazing! I told you it was right to listen to me. There really is something down there. Brother, you are amazing! If you can really dig out a treasure from here, we will be rich!"

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to look into the passage, his eyes full of longing for unknown wealth.

The thin brother jumped into the spacious tunnel and looked at the surrounding environment. He said, "This passage seems to lead to the outside world. Let me go over there and take a look. If it really leads to the outside world, then we can completely change our strategy and not enter from the Leo family's ancestral land. This way, there will be no risk of stealing other people's ancestral graves."

The fat brother couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "As expected of you, brother! Steady!"
