Chapter 84: The Archon of the Austrian War, Mysterious Rewards, Quests
"What type of mission?" Schmidt frowned when he heard Depra's words.
"Master, I am all ears." On the other side, Moriarty said in a deep voice.
"There are two test missions that you can choose from this time: one is a promotion mission for ordinary mages; the other is a promotion mission for battle mages."
"Battle Mage?" Moriarty couldn't help but be stunned.
"Battle mage is a special branch of the mage sequence. Unlike most scholar-type mage professionals, the main object of battle mage research is how to use spells to destroy enemies. In order to maximize their own combat effectiveness, some powerful
Battle mages even have the melee strength of warrior professionals. However, since the end of the ice, the branch of battle mages has mostly disappeared. After all, its requirements for mages are too harsh." Seeing Moriarty, he didn't seem to know much about battle mages.
Schmidt immediately explained loudly. Of course, such a "popular science" explanation does not fall into the category of cheating, not to mention that when Depra suddenly proposed a test task of choosing one of two, Moriarty's promotion
The level assessment has become special.
"Ordinary mages and battle mages..." Moriarty quickly thought about every word Schmidt mentioned.
Although he still doesn't know much about the connotation of a battle mage, one thing Moriarty is certain is that the unmasked Grand Arcanist Dean must have known about his learning of swordsmanship from Lear, otherwise the other party would not have known about it either.
He would deliberately pose such a multiple-choice question to himself. But it is obvious that the battle mage-type mission content must be related to fierce battles, and its danger and difficulty will naturally be much higher than that of ordinary mage promotion missions.
"So, Mr. Provost, after choosing different types of tasks and completing them, will the rewards be different?" Moriarty asked after thinking for a while.
"Indeed." Depra nodded: "After passing the ordinary mission test, you will be declared successful in promotion, and there will be nothing else. As for the battle mage mission, if you can finally complete it, in addition to obtaining the status of a formal mage,
In addition to certification, Hockenheim will also grant you the title of 'Herald of Austrian War'."
"Arcanist Envoy?" Upon hearing this name, Moriarty immediately remembered a passage he had seen in the "Arcanist's Notes" and immediately asked: "This is the same as the 'Arcanist Envoy' in the ancient elf empire era."
Is there any connection between the officers and men?"
"Haha, your knowledge is very extensive, Master Moriarty." De Praluo raised his white eyebrows in surprise and said: "Yes, the Austrian War Archon is the advanced form of the Austrian War Envoy. When the Austrian War,
When the messenger reaches the levels of high-level mage and high-level warrior at the same time, he can become the Arcane Archon."
"Is it possible to obtain high-level levels on both paths of a mage and a warrior at the same time?" At this time, Master Kahn couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it is difficult, but it is by no means impossible. Otherwise, such professionals would not have been born in the era of the ancient Elf Empire." Depra smiled and said.
"However, as far as I know, even in the Elf Empire, only a few high elves can eventually take office as Austrian War Archons." Moriarty shook his head and said.
"High elves? No wonder, only the nobles of magical races like elves have the strength to move forward bravely on the path of magic and warriors at the same time. It's a pity that when the elven empire fell, most of the high elves were also buried together.
"Master Kahn sighed.
"So, is Hockenheim planning to revive the long-lost special profession of 'Herald of Austrian War'?" Moriarty looked at Depra and asked. Now the other party inexplicably came up with a battle mage mission option, and at the same time
It was also proposed to confer the title of Envoy of Austrian War, which was really unusual. Therefore, Moriarty needed to understand it clearly before he could determine his next choice.
"Of course not." Depra smiled faintly and said: "The tradition of Hockenheim is only 'liberation of thinking', not 'uninhibited madness'."
"Then what does the dean mean?"
"Haha, maybe you don't know that in addition to being a great arcanist, Lord Figaro is also an expert in the history of the ancient elven empire. About thirty-five years ago, Lord Figaro was exploring an ancient ruins
During my adventures, I accidentally discovered some precious information and items related to the Archon of Austrian War. Unfortunately, the profession of "Olympic War" has very strict requirements for mages, and the dean himself has no intention of changing professions. Therefore,
Those things unearthed from the ruins were kept as top secret by Master Figaro and have been sealed until today." At this point, Depra suddenly paused, and then looked at Moriarty meaningfully.
"That means that if I choose a battle mage mission and successfully advance, the academy will not only grant me the professional level certification of the Archon of the Austrian War, but the dean will also open the top secret information of the Archon of the Austrian War to me?
"Moriarty looked back at the high-level mage and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, but to be more precise, Master Figaro will give you all those materials and items. After all, some things are unique and cannot be copied!" At this point, Depra suddenly emphasized his tone.
.
"Unique and unreplicable..." Of course Moriarty could hear the subtext in the other party's words, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
Now, there are two paths before Moriarty: the first is to simply complete the promotion of an ordinary mage, and then become a dual professional of a first-level mage and a first-level alchemist. It is safe and secure, and the future is bright.
Light; second, accept the mission of an unknown battle mage and face dangerous battles. Once you succeed, you will be certified by the Arcane Messenger and receive the mysterious gift from the Grand Arcanist. If you fail, you may die.
"Master Provost, if Moriarty chooses the mission of battle mage, but finally gives up, what should be done?" At this time, Schmidt suddenly asked again.
"If you give up midway, you will be deemed to have failed the mission, and Master Moriarty will not be allowed to apply for the promotion test as a first-level mage within three years." Depra immediately added.
Obviously, according to such rules, even if Moriarty really chooses the battle mage option but realizes that it is too difficult and voluntarily quits midway, he will not face substantial punitive measures. Perhaps he will not be allowed to reapply for promotion within three years. For other ordinary
It is very serious for a mage apprentice, but Moriarty is already a first-level alchemist, so there is actually no essential difference between becoming an official mage. And from this point, it can also be seen that Hockenheim is Moria at this moment.
The two options provided by Ti actually contain good intentions, and no organization in its right mind would be so crazy as to deliberately harm the alchemists in its own camp.
"So, what's your choice, Master Moriarty?" Depra finally asked.
"I choose the mission of the Battle Mage." Moriarty nodded and said.
"Very good." Obviously, Depra had predicted in advance that the other party would make such a choice. After all, a mysterious gift from the ruins of the Elf Empire is full of attraction for any mage professional.
"Now that you have determined your choice, I will announce the specific mission content."
"Please, sir."
"A few weeks ago, a group of little demons invaded the vicinity of Azurite City through space cracks. Under the effective attack of the city defense army, most of the dangerous elements have been eliminated. But unfortunately, there are still three 'Gog Demons' at large.
.Yesterday, Hockenheim has locked their whereabouts through the magic sandbox. Your promotion task is to destroy these three Gog demons within seven days. During the task, you can only act alone and cannot accept any direct help from the outside.
, and you are only allowed to carry low-level magic equipment and items with you. If you cannot kill all three Gog demons within seven days, the mission will fail. From now on, the maximum time left for you to prepare for the mission will not exceed
Forty-eight hours." At this point, Depra stopped and looked at Moriarty: "Do you have any more questions?"
"Kill three Gog...it is indeed a combat mission." Moriarty's mind quickly searched for the information he had learned about Gog in his daily life.
The Gog Demon comes from the demon plane and has natural fire-based spell-like abilities. In the demon's combat sequence, the Gog Demon's main role is that of a long-range shooter. By summoning fireballs, the Gog Demon can attack within dozens of yards.
Enemy. However, the primary Gog is relatively weak, so the fireball it summons is only equivalent to a weakened version of the second-level fire spell "Fireball" (Fireball in Hero3 is a third-level spell), and is usually called a small fireball by mages.
.When the Magog Queen grows into a higher level, the power of the fireball it releases will surpass the "Fireball Technique", and will have a splash effect. Some Gog Demons who are lucky enough to advance to the elite level will even summon
The terrifying fireball containing hellfire is extremely lethal.
"Master Provost, has the college confirmed that all those who escaped are Gog demons? Not Magog demons?" At this critical moment, Schmidt asked again.
In terms of simple strength comparison, an ordinary Gog demon is roughly equivalent to a newly promoted first-level mage. It can release small fireballs, but its melee strength is weak and its life is relatively fragile. But when three Gog demons get together
, then the numerical advantage will make this small group have a combat power close to that of a third-level mage. If it were a face-to-face fight, Moriarty would probably have difficulty resisting the attack of three small fireballs at once, and would almost be killed instantly.
Dangerous. And if there is a Magog among the three Gog demons, Moriarty will be seeking death if he confronts them again.
"I have personally confirmed this. It is just an ordinary Gog demon." Of course, Depra also understood Schmidt's worries and immediately gave a strict assurance.
"Okay, I have no problem." Schmidt nodded and said nothing.
"Master Moriarty, if you have no problems, you can go back and prepare. Remember, you must complete all preparations within forty-eight hours and officially set off." Depra said.
"Yes, sir." Moriarty bowed respectfully. He fired his bow without turning back. Since he took over the task of a battle mage, Moriarty had no choice but to complete it to the end, even if the enemy was three Gog demons.
"Then, I wish you good luck." The senior mage finally said.
