Chapter 3643: Film Project (Part 7)

In the S. H. I. E. L. D. office, Wei En took the orange cat from Captain Marvel, scratched its head, and whispered its name. Goose the Flerken also gave face and purred.

"This group of little furry monsters has reached the shedding season again." Captain Marvel said with some helplessness. "I brought it to the space station before, and its hair floated into important experimental equipment, causing a big mess. Later, when I sent it to the Mercury base, it swallowed a warehouse of experimental samples, which is really enough trouble for me..."

"Cats are all like this." Nick, who was leaning against the wall, hugged his arms and shrugged. "At least they don't need to be neutered, and they won't poop or pee everywhere. The Corgi that Coulson recently raised has already made his family change the carpet twice."

"Then you should raise eight or ten." Wei En said while petting the cat. "This way you can change ten high-tech nano-molecular fabric sofas a day, and you can also gather quite a lot of reimbursement quota."

"Forget it, that efficiency is too low." Nick curled his lips and said disdainfully. "Why do you think I want to raise a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

Wei En left S. H. I. E. L. D. holding the cat, and just as he went out, he saw Wang Da's car. He walked over to open the car door, and before he could sit in, three little cats scrambled onto the back of the passenger seat. After he sat down, the three little furry monsters crawled along his neck to the top of his head. Wei En pulled them down in a flurry, but still couldn't stop the cat hair from flying all over his face.

"They are shedding hair recently." Wang Da said while driving. "There is hair everywhere in the house, fortunately, the sweeping robot in my house doesn't have an air outlet, otherwise it would definitely be blocked."

Wei En thought of that sweeping robot joke again, laughed twice, and then hugged the big cat and the little cat together. He drove to the New York Sanctum.

According to the Near-Earth Management Law, because they didn't apply for an air route, they couldn't fly directly if they wanted to go to space, they had to take a portal. And even mages weren't allowed to set up portals privately. Currently, there were only two places in New York with portals, one was the New York Sanctum, and the other was S. H. I. E. L. D., and even Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum didn't have one.

The current New York Sanctum was much livelier than usual because many little mages were filming in New York. Because they knew magic, it wasn't easy for them to stay in ordinary people's hotels, so they all lived in the New York Sanctum, and went to school here when they weren't filming.

However, this was because the filming base in Massachusetts hadn't been built yet, and once it was ready, they could all go there.

As soon as Wang Da and Wei En went over, they were surrounded by a group of little mages, some clamoring for autographs, some clamoring to touch the cat. Wei En finally got rid of them with great difficulty.

Passing through the portal to space, they transferred at the space station. Because they didn't bring luggage this time, they didn't need to take a ship, they could just walk through the portal. They transferred twice more and arrived at the Callisto outpost. The building materials transported from Xiangong were piled up near Io.

Wang Da and Wei En flew toward Io, and while still far away, they saw a pile of strange things tied together by the unique divine power chains of Xiangong, floating in Io's gravity circle.

"My God, what are these?" Wang Da flew over to look and said. "This doesn't look like building materials. Can these things really build a castle?"

Wei En also approached to take a look and found that except for some stone bricks that looked more like building materials, the others were all strange things, such as glowing liquid metal, a large bundle of branches from who knows where, various alloy plates, etc. These things didn't look like materials that could build a Gothic castle no matter how you looked at them.

"Maybe the mages have special processing methods." Wei En thought for a while and said, then he let out the cats.

The little cats were a bit unaccustomed to the weightless environment at first, floating around in space with claws and teeth. Goose picked them up one by one and meowed at them, seemingly teaching them how to use their innate abilities.

Goose flew in front of the pile of stones, opened its mouth, and a large pile of tentacles erupted, dragging the pile of things into its mouth. After eating, it even burped.

The little cats learned very quickly, dispersed, one ate this, one swallowed that, and in a short while, they swallowed everything into their stomachs. The area near Io was cleaned up cleanly.

"Simply too easy to use." Wei En sighed. In a while, the little cats were fighting again. Wei En put them back in the cat bag, the two returned along the original path, and then came to Massachusetts from the portal of the New York Sanctum. Strange had built a small portal in the forest on that piece of land and had been waiting there early.

Just as Wei En and Wang Da walked out of the portal, he couldn't help but wave his hand in front of his nose and said, "My God, you two are simply walking cat hair tumbleweeds."

"Yeah, we just fell into a cat storm." Wang Da said with a smile.

Wei En took out Goose and threw it at Strange, Strange dodged in a flurry, but a large pile of cat hair still stuck to the red cloak. He had to cast a cleaning spell to clean the cloak.

Immediately after, Wei En, like lifting Simba in The Lion King, lifted Goose high above his head. Goose opened its mouth, and the building materials piled up like a mountain were spat out, making Strange click his tongue in wonder.

"Tell you a piece of good news." Wei En said while petting Goose's head. "Tony also adopted one of these things."

Strange immediately blossomed with joy and said, "I bet cat hair will fly into his armor, and then he will turn on the cleaning mode to clean it desperately, but he won't be able to clean it no matter what, and finally he will angrily dismantle the armor."

"Don't forget, this is not an ordinary cat. I guess they will scratch the leg armor, or leave a clear tooth mark on his mask. When we see him next time, we must look carefully."

"If he doesn't wear armor next time, it must be that the armor was scratched by the cat. Hahahaha!"

They piled the building materials all at once on the open space in front, and at this time, the great mages also arrived one after another. In addition to magic building materials, they also brought some ordinary building materials. Strange took out the design drawings, and a group of mages began to prepare to build tall buildings on flat ground.

Such a big movement, of course, couldn't fail to attract the attention of surrounding residents. Soon someone surrounded them, and Wei En walked over holding the cat to explain.

"Yes, the mages are working. No, no, no, it's not building a church. Mages have nothing to do with religion, you can understand it as another kind of superhero. They are preparing to film a movie here, about a school, and need to set up scenes here..."

"Yes, the academic atmosphere in Massachusetts is very strong. After all, you have so many world-renowned universities and research institutes here. The new movie is about a school, the specific content cannot be disclosed, but it should be quite interesting..."

"I think it's probably building a castle? It's that kind of European Gothic castle. I think it should be able to become a landmark building, maybe it can even be opened for visits."

"Yes, the efficiency of mages is particularly high. If excavators and cranes were to build it, the noise would be very loud..."

The attitude of local residents was actually not bad, most people were here to watch the fun, and some younger ones took out their mobile phones to shoot, but no one expressed disgust.

This might also be because the mages building the building looked really easy, neither causing dust to fill the sky nor almost any movement, and there was no need to lay a foundation, not damaging the ground, looking quite environmentally friendly. The residents had no reason to oppose it.

Mages building buildings was more like playing with building blocks than building. Just prepare the materials and build them up layer by layer according to the drawings. They didn't even need to consider load-bearing, because these materials were magic materials themselves. Many materials could float by themselves, not needing support, and it didn't matter the order of construction, everyone just pieced together their part according to the drawings.

So it only took about half a day to almost finish building the first floor. Looking at this, the nine-story big castle, even counting the later repairs, would be finished in less than half a month.

Moreover, after the first few floors were built, soft decoration could be carried out. The entry of soft decoration and the construction of the upper floors didn't conflict, and they could build while decorating. Because there was no noise and dust, they could even film while decorating.

Then they went to the filming base not far away. This place was mainly a place for the crew to do preparatory work, such as changing clothes, makeup, resting, etc., and was a camp of RVs and containers.

The producer of the crew was very experienced and used RVs and containers to surround a circular square here. The two RVs on the north side were used for crew members to rest, the three containers on the northeast side were dressing rooms and clothing warehouses, the two containers on the south side were the production area, the containers on the west side were the prop room and stage manager studio, and the southeast side was specifically reserved for the little mages to rest.

When Wei En went over, the director was leading the camera crew to test the drone. The drone just happened to film the scene of the mages building the house, and all the staff were very excited and wanted to run over to see. When Wei En went over, the director was leading the camera crew to walk out in a hurry.

"Ah, Dr. Wei En, did you just come from the castle side? We are just about to go there. You guys turn around here, just don't touch anything." Ke Lisi left in a hurry.

The little mages hadn't come over from New York yet, so the filming base was quite quiet. Wei En turned around here, the procurement hadn't been fully completed, there weren't many things in the base, and there was nothing to see. However, Wei En saw a few hand-drawn drafts on the director's table, which seemed to be important movie storyboards.

One of them attracted his attention because this manuscript drew a dragon, which was the classic image of a Western fire dragon. It seemed that Director Ke Lisi wanted to incorporate more Western fantasy elements.

But as far as Wei En knew, there was no such fire dragon on Earth. The hometown of the fire dragon should be in Muspelheim among the Nine Realms, which was the territory of the fire giant Surtur.

But the temper of the fire giant was as bad as the frost giant, and the fire dragon was even more unreasonable. If Ke Lisi proposed to get a fire dragon for filming, Strange would have a headache.
