Big Capitalist

Merlin nodded slightly, a confident smile on his face. "That's right. I will certainly not reject these outstanding talents, nor will I let them compete with ordinary students and graduates in the examination room. These people only need to go through the talent introduction policy and go through a special interview process."

"After all, their past experiences and achievements are the best answers. As long as they pass the interview, they will be directly appointed to higher positions, not lower ones! This will not only demonstrate our respect and attention to talents, but also quickly enrich the core strength of the City Hall, allowing the Arcane City to speed along on the road of development. What do you think?"

Electrolux flipped through the documents carefully, the doubt in his eyes gradually replaced by admiration. He raised his head, looked at Merlin's determined eyes, and nodded vigorously: "President, you are wise! This is indeed the most appropriate way at the moment. With the help of these elites, the future of the Arcane City is promising!"

Merlin smiled and looked out the window. It was as if his eyes penetrated the wall and saw the future scene of the booming Arcane City. "Yes, there is still a long way to go. What we need to do is to recruit talents and make the Arcane City a holy place that all magicians yearn for."

Once the Arcane City's talent introduction policy was promulgated, it was like a bombshell that set off a storm in the magic world, and it was instantly recognized by many magicians and elites from all walks of life.

In the streets, magic workshops, and college classrooms, people were discussing this policy enthusiastically, and its influence spread rapidly like ripples.

In a corner of the Arcane City, several young graduates sat together, playing with magic props in their hands, their eyes full of yearning: "Have you heard? The talent introduction policy of the Arcane City this time is really good news for those of us who are eager to show our skills! As long as you pass the interview, you can directly take up an important position, and no longer have to struggle at the bottom and wait for seniority to come out."

"Yes, and the Arcane City is now developing rapidly, and its future is definitely bright. Being able to work there is not only an honor, but also a bright future." Another graduate echoed, with a gleam of longing in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you see the conditions above? They want talents, not graduates like us who have no fame at all!" One of them couldn't help but speak up.

"Well, who said I'm not famous? I was also well-known in the territory of the lord I served before. The residents of the territory all wanted to introduce their daughters to me!"

"Idiot, you are at least a fifth-level high-level magician. Do you think any noble lady would pay attention to you?"

"Stop talking, I'm already sad!"

At the same time, a sixth-rank alchemist in a remote town, after receiving the news, put down his experiment and fell into deep thought: "This is a rare opportunity. Although I am very famous in the empire, my resources are limited. If I can enter the Arcane City and get in touch with more cutting-edge knowledge and technology, I may be able to break through the bottleneck of many years..."

As applicants came in one after another, the day of the interview was quietly approaching.

The interview took place in the magnificent city hall of the Arcane City. The dome was high and the magic crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light, illuminating a row of majestic interviewer chairs in the hall.

The interviewer lineup was luxurious, with Merlin sitting in the middle, Electrolux sitting next to him, and Jenny, the vice president of the Arcane Academy, sitting dignified and elegant on the other side of Merlin. For Merlin, he was a mascot.

The other two are Agatha Morton, the dean of the Faculty of Arts, and Michelle Wenzel, the dean of the Faculty of Secrets.

Merlin specially invited these two people to take charge, but unlike Vice Dean Jenny, the mascot, they are both first-rate in judging people.

Agatha, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, possesses a mysterious and extraordinary ability - the "Memory Library".

For her, the spiritual realm turned into a vast and boundless giant library. The towering bookshelves were filled with books, and each book carried the essence of knowledge she had acquired throughout her life, whether it was ancient and obscure documents, lively and elegant poems, or cutting-edge and novel theories, all of which could be traced.

Not only that, this library is also like a sophisticated personnel archive. The information of every student in the Arcane Academy, from their immature appearance when they first entered the academy, to their accumulated academic performance year by year, to the different journeys they embarked on after graduation, every detail is included in it.

The dean of the secret academy, Michelle, was given a pair of eyes that could see through the world by the gods since she was born.

These eyes are like clear mirrors that can easily penetrate the fog of appearances and accurately distinguish the soul essence of good and evil.

Her small and upright nose is even more mysterious. When someone speaks untruths and tells lies in front of her, a subtle and strange smell will appear in the air, which only she can detect. The lies cannot escape her keen sense of smell.

What's even more amazing is that her seemingly ordinary ears actually possess the ability to read minds. The voices of people around her are like subtle whispers, quietly entering her ears. However, out of respect for the privacy of others, she seldom uses this powerful ability.

As for Dean Michelle's lips, which always have a gentle smile on them, they seem to contain some kind of magical power that can bewitch people. Whenever she speaks softly, the sincerity, wisdom and confidence contained in her words can flow slowly into the hearts of the audience like a warm current, making people convinced and follow her guidance involuntarily.

At this moment, the group of sixth-level graduates who came for the interview were making quite a scene in the waiting area.

Most of them came from different prominent places and had made remarkable achievements in their respective fields. At this moment, they were all arrogant and talked loudly about their glorious past as if no one was around.

"Hmph, I've been the chief technician at the Imperial Alchemy Workshop for many years. The improved magic alchemy formula has increased the output by more than three times. Just based on this point, the Arcane City must treat me like a treasure." A big man with a full beard and arrogant eyes, with his hands folded across his chest, his nostrils almost pointing to the sky.

"What's that? I once followed the great nobles in their battles. With my magic and strategy, I helped them conquer several barbarian cities. Now I come to this arcane city just to give them face. Why do I need an interview? I don't know what right those two young boys have to interview me." A magician in gorgeous armor and a sword at his waist said with disdain in his tone. He flicked his cloak and strode in the waiting area.

The graduates waiting for the interview here were secretly thinking about how to give Merlin and Electrolux, the two "juniors", a warning when they go in later, so that they know how powerful they are.
