Chapter 515 Merlin now - rich!
At this time, several elves walked out from the corner of the shop.
They held measuring tapes, paintbrushes and drawing boards in their hands, stared at Arthur intently, and then began to paint quickly on the drawing board.
Arthur was startled by this sudden scene, his face full of surprise.
Merlin at the side hurriedly comforted him, "Arthur, don't be nervous, this is the clothes designed for you to wear during the performance."
Arthur nodded. Just as he was about to ask how long it would take, the elves suddenly stopped what they were doing, as if they had discussed it beforehand, nodded to Merlin, and said in unison, "It's done."
Arthur was completely dumbfounded, his eyes widened in disbelief, is that the end? What did they just do?
Merlin smiled and handed the script to Arthur, saying, "Arthur, you should work hard these days and memorize your lines. I will send someone to notify you when the filming starts."
After saying that, Merlin stood up and left contentedly. Arthur looked at Merlin's departing back and felt dizzy, as if he was still in a dream.
He subconsciously looked down at the script in his hand, turned two pages, and couldn't help rubbing his brows, muttering to himself: "What on earth is going on?"
In the student union office, Merlin looked at Yuna seriously and asked, "Yuna, is the shooting location ready?"
Yuna nodded confidently and replied, "It's already been prepared. There is a village in the jurisdiction of the Arcane City that is particularly suitable. Moreover, Marquis Mitte has built a castle there."
"Marquis Mite? Is he the one from the Haiyuan Empire?" Merlin frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, it's him. He manages that territory." Yuna responded affirmatively.
Merlin's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "You are wrong. That is my territory now. Give him a considerable amount of gold coins and ask him to leave quickly."
Merlin knew that once the filming was completed, the subsequent commercial and tourism value of this filming location would be immeasurable.
He was planning to build a place similar to Universal Studios in the Arcane City to attract visitors from all over the world and create endless wealth.
Yuna said quickly: "It's actually very easy to take over that piece of land, and it doesn't even cost a lot of gold coins. Many of the buildings there are illegal, we can completely..."
"No need," Merlin waved his hand nonchalantly, his tone full of pride, "I don't want to waste time on these things. It's not like I don't have money. I made a lot of gold coins in the Elf Forest last time."
Merlin is now a high-level magician. For him, the truly valuable things can no longer be measured and purchased with gold coins.
"By the way, go and supervise the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop and have them finish their work."
Turning our attention to the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop, we saw a group of alchemists having a headache over the props they were building, such as the Pumpkin Carriage.
One of the alchemists who had just joined could not help but complain loudly, "I don't want to do this anymore! I joined such a great alchemy workshop to research alchemical products that can change the world, not to make these damn giant pumpkin carriages!"
Hearing his complaints, many alchemists in the workshop rolled their eyes helplessly.
Once upon a time, they, like this young man, had great ambitions and wanted to create alchemical products that could change the world.
However, reality has gradually smoothed out their edges.
They knew very well that they might not have the ability to change the world, and the current Arcane Academy was no longer what it used to be. If they could not produce research results, the academy would no longer indulge them.
Nowadays, it is very difficult to apply for funds in the Arcane Academy. If you cannot produce results, you have to sign the so-called "indenture" (labor contract) and rely on working to repay the debt.
"I am destined to be a rising star in the alchemy world. How can I do such a thing! I want to apply for scientific research funds! Alchemy funds!" The young man continued to yell relentlessly.
After hearing what he said, the alchemists around him couldn't help but admire his courage.
Someone couldn't help but complain: "You should just work hard and apply for funding. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pay back the college and end up mortgaging your underwear?"
Just then, Yuna walked in. She looked around and asked, "How is the progress of the alchemical props needed for the movie Cinderella? By the way, I'll settle the balance."
When the young man heard this, he rushed out as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He knew Yuna's identity, she was the vice president of the student union. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, so he hurriedly said, "Vice President Yuna, I want to apply for research funding."
Yuna frowned in dissatisfaction, wondering why she always met this kind of person every time she came to the alchemy workshop.
Jin Henry saw Yuna's dissatisfaction and hurried forward to pull the young man who had just joined, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Vice President Yuna, this newcomer is ignorant, please don't bother with him."
"It's okay," Yuna said calmly, "However, since you want to apply for research funding, just go directly to the person in charge of the alchemy workshop to fill out the form for review. But you must think carefully."
Before the young man could speak, Yuna continued, "Have you decided what kind of research you want to do?"
The young man was stunned when he heard Yuna's words, and he stammered, "Not yet, but I want to apply for gold coins first. Without gold coins, I can't buy any materials for experiments..."
Yuna nodded and said, "I see. That means you don't have any research plans at the moment, right? Then let me do the math for you. A new employee like you can only apply for a maximum of 10,000 gold coins. But the prerequisite is that you have to have a recommendation from an alchemist master. Do you have one?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, that's okay. If you don't have a recommendation from a master alchemist, you can also apply if you have made significant achievements in the field of alchemy and have three alchemy papers included in the secret library." Yuna said slowly.
"I... I didn't either..." The young man's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Oh, that's fine. If you come from an aristocratic or wealthy family, and are the eldest son or a key child in your family, and your family is willing to sign a compensation agreement for you, we can also apply for alchemy funds of 10,000 or even higher for you..."
"I... I come from an ordinary family." The young man blushed and his voice was almost inaudible.
"I see. Based on your situation, the academy can only apply for research funds of around 1,000 to 3,000 gold coins for you at most. But are you sure you want to do this?" Yuna looked at the other party with a playful expression.
