Chapter 514 Arthur, I've Got My Eyes on You

In the prosperous city of arcane, the news of the selection of the Moon Saint of the elven clan and the battle for faith quickly swept across the entire continent of Aize like a storm.

People were talking about it a lot. Whether they were common people on the streets or nobles in high positions, they were all curious about this event that concerned the glory and future of the elves.

On this day, Merlin was in his office, and sitting opposite him was Elsa.

Merlin looked at Elsa with a faint smile on his face and asked softly, "Elsa, what is Alicia doing recently?"

Elsa sat up straight and said seriously, "Alicia is now actively carrying out activities in Andalia. She frequently gives speeches, explaining to the elves the sacred duties of the Moon Saint, and how she will seek welfare for the elves and lead everyone to coexist with nature in a more harmonious way if she is elected. At the same time, she also devotes herself to various public welfare activities, personally participates in the ecological restoration of the Elf Forest, helps elves injured in magic accidents to recover, and also establishes a special magic learning institution for the elf children in Andalia. Through these tangible good deeds, she has gained widespread support and faith from the elves."

After a pause, Elsa continued, "Now, the Moon Temple has lit the divine fire platform. The more faith points there are, the more vigorously the divine fire burns. The power of faith obtained by Alicia and Stacy will become the nourishment of this divine fire, and eventually this powerful power will be passed on to Lord Moon."

After hearing this, Merlin just nodded slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and uttered two words: "That's it?"

Elsa rolled her eyes at Merlin and said unhappily, "Don't take it lightly. Right now, the Divine Fire Platform corresponding to Alicia is already burning fiercely, while your apprentice Stacy's Divine Fire Platform is only burning a little bit. The difference is already very obvious. I would like to ask, what is Stacy doing now? What have you done?"

Elsa's words were full of dissatisfaction towards Master Merlin and his apprentice.

Merlin naturally heard her complaints, but he didn't refute anything. He just smiled faintly and said, "Stacy is also making preparations. She should be practicing her acting skills and memorizing the script lines now, right?"

"Practice acting skills? Memorize script lines?" Elsa looked confused and didn't understand what Merlin was saying at all.

But for her own face, she pretended to understand and said, "It's good to be prepared. What about you? What are you going to do next?"

Merlin thought for a moment after hearing Elsa's question, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the vibrant Arcane Academy below, and slowly said: "I plan to find a prince..."

"Ah?" Elsa was stunned for a moment, her face full of confusion and shock. She had no idea what Merlin was trying to do.

She stared at Merlin's back blankly, her mind full of questions: Looking for a prince? What does this have to do with the battle for faith in the Moon Saint? What the hell is Merlin planning?

Merlin seemed to notice Elsa's doubts, but did not explain immediately. He just raised a mysterious smile and continued to look out the window, already outlining the grand plan in his mind.

Elsa sat there, full of suspicion, curious and speculative about Merlin's next move.

In the magical Elf Tea shop of the Arcane Academy, soft light shines through the exquisite colored glass and sprinkles in every corner of the store.

Merlin sat opposite Arthur, a sly and friendly smile like a fox on his face, his eyes fixed on Arthur.

"Arthur, are we good brothers who have been through thick and thin together?" Merlin was the first to break the silence and asked with a smile.

Arthur looked at Merlin, who was smiling so "brilliantly", and blinked subconsciously.

His eyes fell on the full cup of nut berry avocado smoothie on the table in front of him, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Merlin, he always chose affordable brands like Mixue Shiguang when treating guests to drinks. But today, he invited him to a high-end shop like Elf Tea for the first time and ordered such an expensive drink. He definitely had something to ask of him, and it was most likely a big deal.

However, Arthur thought about it and felt that there was nothing special about him that Merlin coveted, so he nodded calmly and said cheerfully: "Of course, we are good brothers!"

Hearing Arthur's answer, Merlin smiled even more happily, as if his plan had succeeded, and quickly said, "That's good. Since we are brothers, I'll ask you for a favor. Is that not too much?"

"Well, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability." Arthur nodded straightforwardly, with sincerity and generosity on his face.

"Very good, I like your personality!" Merlin was very satisfied with Arthur's answer. Then, he took out a script from his arms and gently placed it in front of Arthur, his eyes full of expectation, "Take a look at this script, I plan to let you play the prince in it."

"Play the role of a prince?" Arthur was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he still obediently picked up the script and began to read.

That's right, Merlin had already made up his mind that if he wanted to play the role of the prince in "Cinderella" to the fullest, the best way would be to find a real prince to play the role.

Among the people Merlin knew, there were two who met this condition.

One is Fate, who has a special liking for body water. Although Fate is very good-looking, his temperament is a little feminine, and he often reveals a lewd smile, which is really not in line with the image of a prince.

The other is Arthur, the third prince of the Dawn Empire. He is sunny and handsome, with a cheerful and kind personality. He possesses almost all the best qualities in the world. What's more, he is a person favored by the gods. He is born with a kingly demeanor, and it is perfect for him to play the role of a prince.

Besides, Arthur was serious and responsible in everything he did, so Merlin felt very relieved to entrust such an important role to him.

Arthur quickly read the script in his hand and had a general understanding of the story. Then he looked up in surprise and asked Merlin: "Are you planning to hold a stage play to help Stacy?"

Merlin smiled and shook his finger, saying mysteriously, "It's not something as old-fashioned as a stage play. What I want to make is something that has never appeared in this world before, something called a movie."

"Movie?" Arthur looked confused, obviously having no idea about this new concept.

However, he was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and was happy to be able to help Stacy, so he nodded and agreed to Merlin's request without asking any further questions.

"Great, it's settled then! I knew you would agree!" Merlin snapped his fingers excitedly.
