With the fire elemental domain (pseudo), Moriarty's alchemical path instantly became extremely broad. Whether it was the elemental affinity problem that had troubled him for a long time, or the problem of controlling the activity and decay rate of magic elements during the alchemy process
, no longer exist at this moment. With the blessing of the domain, Moriarty is already comparable to Schmidt in controlling the details of the elements, or even better.
About a week later, Moriarty completed the refining of the brute force potion for the first time in the rented laboratory of Hockenheim College. However, after the success, Moriarty did not inform anyone, but silently
Drink this potion and that one, and then carefully record the data on changes in your physical condition.
In the following months, Moriarty did not conduct any alchemical experiments, but focused all his energy on becoming familiar with and mastering the (pseudo) elemental field of fire. After all, this was a long period of time.
A secret that cannot be seen in the light. If Moriarty cannot effectively control the expansion and expansion of the domain, once someone notices the clues, it may be difficult to end it.
In addition, Moriarty also purchased a "Bloodlust" learning scroll from Schmidt's studio in response to his uncle's suggestions and teachings. For Moriarty, he only purchased one learning scroll at a time.
The "weirdness" of the scroll was strange to both Schmidt and Heyna. However, seeing that he successfully completed the learning of "Mud Steps" and "Water Therapy" successively, in addition to being surprised, they could only agree with Mori.
Artie's outstanding talent in the field of magic.
With two months left before the agreed contract period, Moriarty finally formally submitted a test application to Schmidt to become an alchemist.
According to the regulations of Hockenheim College, the promotion assessment of alchemists can only be conducted by higher-level alchemists. Ordinary mages have no right to interfere, even high-level mages or even great arcane masters. As a fourth-level alchemist, Shmi
Teze has the qualifications to rate first-level to third-level alchemists. Therefore, Moriarty only needs to be recognized by the mid-level mage to become an official first-level alchemist, and at the same time receive the Hockenheim
official recognition.
The venue for the promotion assessment was determined to be on the main floor of the Schmidt Master Tower, and four people, including Heyna and three other wizard assistants, were allowed to watch on the spot. However, until now, the three low-level wizards still
I can't believe that Moriarty has the guts to challenge the noble status of a first-level alchemist. You know, he is just a mage apprentice. In addition to being completely crazy or incredibly arrogant, the three assistant mages are no longer
I can't think of any other reason to explain this "weird" situation. But when they saw Mr. Schmidt accepting this ridiculous and unusual application, the three of them could only stand aside and watch the changes. Of course.
If some unethical behavior occurs during the test, the three mage assistants will definitely expose and report it to the academy officials, even if this takes the huge risk of completely turning against the mid-level mage.
"Okay, Apprentice Moriarty, do you have any questions before we officially start?" After looking around, Schmidt stood in the center of the main floor of the tower, looking at Moriarty expressionlessly, and asked
.
Because he is the examiner, Schmidt is wearing a formal mid-level mage robe, looking particularly majestic and solemn. However, it can be seen that the mood of the mid-level mage today is not very happy. There is only the sea in the distance.
Only then did Na realize how annoyed her father was with Moriarty's request to hold the alchemist advancement exam in advance. In fact, in Schmidt's eyes, Moriarty already felt like a broken person.
"No more, Your Excellency." Standing in front of the large test bench, Moriarty smiled faintly.
But when she saw her lover's smile, for some reason, Heyna's uneasiness gradually calmed down.
According to the rules of the assessment, Moriarty must complete his test within one hour, and he cannot use any external help or use any magic props during this period, otherwise he will be immediately disqualified. And if Moriarty fails to pass this promotion examination
, you cannot apply again within three years.
"Then, let's get started." Schmidt nodded with an indifferent expression. When the mid-level mage finished speaking, the magic clock that recorded time also started timing.
After looking at Schmidt and Heyena in the distance, Moriarty slowly adjusted his breathing, and then began to build the alchemy circle first.
In the clear and slow sound of chanting the curse, Moriarty's hands continued to draw left and right in the assessment area on the test platform. As the crystal magic light continued to flash on his fingertips, invisible lines were straight or curved.
Lines flickered and appeared on the one-meter-square ink-black table. Until later, when these "dashed lines" gathered purely by magic became more and more densely intertwined, even the entire black assessment area was dotted
Shrouded in brilliance, it looks extremely beautiful.
"It's a beautiful magic circle. He understands the equations very well." About ten meters away, Master Shute folded his arms and said in a deep voice.
"Yes. The connection of the magic threads is also perfect. It's almost like painting." The beautiful Master Nicole had a look of surprise on her face. She whispered while her hands kept painting at the same time, as if she was painting.
It's like building a magic circle along with Moriarty's movements.
"Oh my god, how much mana does that kid have? In five minutes, he has spent at least three times of mana building an alchemy array!" Master Ek let out a low cry, but Heyna quickly got angry.
gaze.
However, Schmidt seemed not to hear the buzzing discussion from behind, and still watched Moriarty's every move intently.
Ten minutes later, when Moriarty perfectly imprinted the structure of the last energy node on the black table, a beautiful brilliance flashed through, and the alchemy formation for the brute force potion was finally completed.
Moriarty took a deep breath, and there was a slight sweat on Moriarty's forehead. Although Moriarty had already fully understood the alchemy formation in front of him and could construct it without any mistakes, after all, he was at a formal assessment site, and there was still invisible pressure.
It brought a lot of consumption to Moriarty.
After resting for about a minute, Moriarty readjusted himself to optimal condition, then placed the magic heating furnace in the center of the alchemy array on the table, and lit it immediately.
On the other side of the test bench, sixteen groups of raw materials required for refining the brute strength potion were neatly arranged. Moriarty glanced at it and found that the weights of these sixteen groups of materials were all standard.
In other words, as long as Moriarty makes a mistake in any link, it will be declared a complete failure, and there will never be a chance to do it again.
"It seems that Uncle Schmidt is really angry." Looking back, Moriarty lowered his head slightly and couldn't help laughing.
Because according to convention, there is no strict limit on the amount of materials used in the alchemist assessment. In some cases, candidates are even allowed to use unlimited amounts of alchemical materials as long as their time permits. However, the current situation has been clearly stated
, Schmidt, as the host of this exam, has adopted the most difficult test condition "cruelly". Regarding this, even the three mage assistants who were watching were somewhat aggrieved by Moriarty.
However, facing the almost difficult assessment setting for the mid-level mage, Moriarty's mentality remained calm. Since he already has the fire element field (pseudo), is what is placed in front of him at this moment a standard portion or
One hundred standard portions, there is actually no difference.
Raising his head slightly and looking at Schmidt, Moriarty smiled slightly.
With an unwavering thought, the fire arcane core above Moriarty's soul suddenly flashed without light. Then, a very faint fiery red ripple began to condense in Moriarty's palm.
"This is..." As if he vaguely sensed something, Schmidt's expression suddenly changed, his eyes became more severe than ever before, and an invisible pressure instantly filled the entire mage tower.
"Your Excellency, what is this?" Although the three mage assistants and Haierna were not able to detect the slightest difference like the mid-level mage, they could clearly feel the tremendous pressure emanating from Schmidt.
"Do you really not want apprentice Moriarty to pass this test, so you take such a radical approach?" For a while, such thoughts kept replaying in the minds of the three mages.
However, as if he didn't notice anything strange, Moriarty, who had opened the fire element field (pseudo), took a small bottle of sealed agave juice as usual, then opened the cork, poured it into a glass, and started debugging...
Seemingly realizing his gaffe, the mid-level mage quickly controlled his emotions. However, his keen eyes continued to scan Moriarty, hoping to detect anything suspicious or strange.
However, as Moriarty's refining process continued, one group after another of materials was properly prepared. Even the "Baked Grass Solution" and "Half Sulfur Crystal", which were called the "Brute Force Bottleneck"
None of them could stop Moriarty.
When the magic clock reached the thirty-sixth minute, as the last portion of "Daisy Chrysanthemum" was smoothly thrown into the mouth of the glass, after a brief boiling, a standard brute force potion finally appeared in front of everyone.
before.
Picking up the glass, Moriarty slowly poured the pale pink liquid into an empty glass tube, and then sealed the mouth of the tube.
"Your Excellency Schmidt, the brute force potion is complete, please review it." After gently placing the glass test tube on one side of the test bench, Moriarty took a step back, bowed respectfully to Schmidt, and said.
On the opposite side, Schmidt's eyes were filled with indescribable brilliance. Behind him, Heyna and the three mage assistants all looked shocked and confused.
