Early the next morning, Moriarty dressed in casual clothes and went to the Lear Squadron's station on the south side of Azurite City. Since he had received Lear's care in advance, Moriarty informed the sentry outside the camp of his name.
Was led directly in.
Unlike Erathia, Bracada's military camp is not located in a small fortress. Instead, a circle of camps is built directly on a large open space, and many domed igloos are built in it to serve as barracks.
Because it is located in the cold zone of the south, Brakada's traditional military system does not include large-scale cavalry units. Therefore, Moriarty did not see many horses in the camp.
After passing through half of the military camp, Moriarty came to the largest snow house located in the center of the camp. At this time, Leal, who had been notified by the sentry, was already waiting at the door.
"Hello, Captain Lear." Moriarty saluted first.
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name. I think you should be a straightforward warrior at this moment, Moriarty?" Lear said with a smile: "Please come in."
"Thank you, Lear." Moriarty also smiled and followed the other person into the barracks.
Because there is a special skylight glass in the igloo, it does not look dark. This is also a unique benefit of the Brakada people. Due to the high proportion of losses along the way, most houses outside the Mage's Country cannot afford glass.
Such a semi-luxury product. Only the locals of Bracada can use glass in large quantities without worrying about bankruptcy.
This central igloo is very large, nearly a thousand square meters.
There is a huge magic sand table placed in the front half of the room, with all important terrain and targets within a fifty-kilometer radius near Azurite City clearly marked on it. And just by injecting some magic power, Moriarty can immediately control the objects on the sand table.
Enlarge and examine any target in detail. Of course, the maximum accuracy of the sand table in front of you is limited to 500 meters. If it is a super magic sand table in the city lord's palace, it can even directly track anyone within a hundred kilometers of Blue Crystal City.
Appearance. However, this level of magic sandbox is beyond the control of Lille at the squadron leader level. However, even a magic sandbox with an accuracy of 500 meters is definitely a military product that cannot be sold to the outside world. Therefore, except for Braka
Apart from Da's army being well equipped, soldiers from other countries can only covet it.
In the back half of the room, various military supplies and weapons were piled messily, and the camp bed used by Lear was also set up among them.
"Please take a seat, Moriarty." He knew that the chaotic layout behind the igloo was not suitable for receiving guests, so Lear directly invited Moriarty to sit down on some camp chairs next to the magic sand table.
"Thank you." Moriarty sat down directly, then took out a rectangular box and handed it to Lear: "This is a small gift, please accept it."
"Haha, you're too polite." With a thought in his heart, Lear took the box with a smile, and then opened it. There were twelve glass test tubes filled with light pink liquid neatly placed in the box. He looked at Moriarty again,
Lille couldn't help but take out a test tube and looked at the bright sunlight shining through the bright glass skylight. He saw the pale pink solvent glowing with a beautiful and familiar brilliance in the sunlight.
"These are the brute strength potions I have recently prepared. Although they are definitely not as good as the potions refined by my uncle, they can still have some effect." Seeing the joy in the other person's eyes, Moriarty followed up and said.
"Haha, you are so humble, Moriarty." Lear carefully put the potion back into the box, then closed the lid, and laughed: "You are not yet twenty years old, you can be independent."
Making a brute force potion is really a genius. However, your gift is really a bit heavy!"
According to the general market price of twenty gold coins per brute strength potion, Moriarty's meeting gift is worth two hundred and forty gold coins, which is equivalent to half a year's salary of Lille. Of course, a person with the power of mean square like Lille naturally
It was impossible to live entirely on military pay. The gift of more than two hundred gold coins was neither light nor heavy to him, but what really made Lear pay attention was Moriarty's real alchemy talent. Just like Li Er
As you said, you can refine potion of brute strength at the age of twenty, but what about twenty-five years old, thirty years old, thirty-five years old? You must know that the higher the level of the mage, the longer his life span. From then on,
With these twelve brute force potions in front of him, Lille even vaguely saw another "Mage Schmidt".
"Please accept it, otherwise I won't be able to learn swordsmanship here with peace of mind." Faced with Lear's praise, Moriarty also smiled casually.
Immediately, the relationship between the two heated up.
Next, Moriarty officially began to continue his swordsmanship lessons with Lear. In the morning, Lear first spent more than an hour making a thorough assessment of Moriarty's current warrior strength. And after the test,
Lear was very satisfied with the results. Especially regarding Moriarty's physical condition, Lear discovered that this genius alchemist even had the endurance and physique to be close to that of a second-level warrior.
After fully understanding each other's background, Lear and Moriarty agreed on the follow-up swordsmanship course arrangement. With an interval of two days, Moriarty will receive swordsmanship training three times a week at Lear's military camp. At the same time, Moriarty
Arti also secretly made special requests to Lear about learning crossbows, to which Lear agreed and arranged for one of his best archers to teach Moriarty.
In the next two months, Moriarty's life returned to regularity and order again. Spell learning, sword training, and alchemy research, he methodically walked on his own path. Now, at this moment,
Regarding Moriartina's cultivation method that was completely different from that of ordinary mages, Schmidt didn't say anything more. He just stood aside and watched quietly, watching how far his nephew could go.
Time flies by like water. Sixty days passed in the blink of an eye, and Moriarty also formally applied to Hockenheim College for the test to be promoted to a first-level mage.
In view of Moriarty's particularity, the college's provost, Master Depra, personally presided over the test ceremony in the hall on the first floor of the large teaching building. Schmidt and another mid-level mage of the college, Kahn Freeman, simultaneously
Be present and watch.
"Master Moriarty, to be honest, although I have conducted too many wizard promotion tests in the past few decades, I never thought that one day I would have the opportunity to witness a first-level alchemist advance to the first level.
Mage." Because Moriarty is now a registered alchemist belonging to Hockenheim, Depra's attitude towards Moriarty is very gentle and friendly.
"It is an honor for me to be promoted to an official mage under your auspices." Moriarty, still wearing a mage apprentice robe, stood in front of Depra with great respect and said.
"Haha, I hope this can also be my honor one day." It can be seen that Depra has a very high opinion of Moriarty. This is not only because of Moriarty's superb talent in alchemy, but also because of Moriarty's superb talent in alchemy.
It was a mysterious connection between the two (pseudo) owners of the elemental realm, although Moriarty did not dare to activate the realm at all in front of Depra.
"Come on, let's get started." Without further words, Depra replied seriously and said loudly: "The first part of the first-level mage promotion test: continuously release three different first-level spells within half an hour.
"
"yes."
This is a fixed content, Moriarty already knew it, and immediately started chanting the curse loudly.
The first was "Breath of Wind", then "Petrified Skin", and the third was "Fire Magic Defense". In just five minutes, Moriarty had finished casting three first-level spells, and the object of the blessing was
Depra himself.
"Well, it's quite good. You are proficient in casting spells, you have a full amount of mana, and your mental control is accurate. Moriarty, your performance is perfect." As a true master of spells, Depra just felt a little about his own state of being under the spell, and smiled.
Follow the path.
Schmidt and Kahn on the other side also nodded repeatedly at Moriarty's performance. To be honest, even some second-level or even third-level mages may not be able to continue as cleanly as Moriarty.
Summon three magic spells.
"There is no doubt that you have passed this part of the test. If it can be scored, there is no doubt that you have won another 'Excellent+'." Looking at Moriarty, who still looked upright in front of him, Depra nodded secretly and said
: "The next part of the content, as usual, is the assessment of specific tasks."
"Yes, please issue a test mission." Moriarty bowed.
"Of course, young man, but don't be impatient. Before officially announcing your mission, I would like to make some special instructions." At this time, Depra suddenly said again.
"Special instructions?" Moriarty did not expect such a change, and could not help but frown slightly and looked at the high-level mage.
At this time, Schmidt and Kahn, who were standing not far away, immediately looked at each other. It seemed that they also didn't know what Depra meant by "special instructions." But looking at Schmidt's eyes,
If there is anything in the "special instructions" Depra said that maliciously makes things difficult for Moriarty, the mid-level mage will definitely protest and refute it on the spot. Although the possibility of such an incident happening is really slim.
"Yes, special instructions, and instructions with special concern from the dean." Depra observed Moriarty's expression carefully and smiled.
"Your Excellency, Grand Arcanist?" Moriarty was even more surprised, but then he calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Please tell me."
"Master Figaro has personally prepared two different tasks for your promotion test. You can choose one of them freely."
"Two different tasks?"
"Yes, but I will not announce the specific mission content before you make your choice." Depra continued.
"So, what is the hint?" If there is no hint, then it is just guessing, so Moriarty thought for a while and asked directly.
"There is only one hint." The high-level mage nodded appreciatively and said, "That is, type!"
