After resting for nearly two hours, Moriarty finally had the strength to stand up from the sand again. Looking at the dense scars on his body, he couldn't help but smile slightly. In order to pass this battle mage mission test, Moriarty
The price paid for the pedicle is not heavy. But fortunately, most of the wounds have stopped bleeding. As long as you are careful not to make excessive movements and tear them apart again, your life should not be in danger.
After slowly adjusting his breath, Moriarty directly cast a spell on himself to release the hydrotherapy technique.
Speaking of which, in the life-and-death battle with the mutated demon, Moriarty acted more like a solid warrior rather than a professional mage. Therefore, although his physical strength was almost completely exhausted after repeated hard battles, his mana capacity was not.
It has not been consumed in any way. And such a weird case of mage promotion may only happen to a special person like Moriarty.
After three consecutive magical treatments with hydrotherapy, Moriarty finally recovered half of his body. Although he would have to wait until he returned to Azurite City to fully recover, at least he was no longer as exhausted and completely exhausted as before.
Lost the ability to fight.
After generally recovering, Moriarty was not in a hurry to clean up the battlefield. Instead, he picked up the "Loyal Companion" wand that had been thrown aside and recharged it with spells.
Through the arduous battle with the mutated demon, Moriarty not only made a leap in actual combat experience, but also made him more deeply aware of the shortcomings and limitations of low-level mages: in the face of agile and fierce attacks,
Melee professionals and low-level mages simply don’t have enough time to summon spells. It’s like when Moriarty fought against the leader Gog Demon, except for the initial moment when he relied on his wand to instantly cast “Mud Footsteps” to heavily restrain his opponent.
, and there will be no chance to cast other spells after that. Therefore, it is difficult for most low-level mages to win in a one-on-one fight due to their own professional characteristics and fragility.
Of course, this does not mean that low-level mages are completely useless. Just like Moriarty, who is only a first-level warrior, can finally kill a mutated demon with a fourth-level warrior combat power and full-body scale armor protection. Many of these
The beneficial spell blessing effect plays an irreplaceable and decisive role.
Therefore, in Moriarty's mind, the real value of low-priced mages has been positioned as assistance and strategic deterrence. It is like a single-shot musket that is unfired. As long as you stand silently, it will put great pressure on the enemy. Of course,
With the pre-storage and instant-cast functions of the "Mage Companion" in his hand, Moriarty can directly get rid of the constraints of spell casting, and to a certain extent upgrade from a single-click musket to a powerful semi-automatic rifle. Under these conditions, Moriarty can
The combat modes that Ti can adopt are different from those of ordinary low-level mages with inferior equipment.
After spending some time, Moriarty filled all seven first-level spells in the wand. During this period, although his own magic power was not exhausted, he still used a "Blue Beauty" cautiously. This was not only to maintain the magic power at all times.
A higher combat status is used to deal with possible potential risks, and it is also an effective disguise for one's actual mana amount.
Finally, the arrows in the arm crossbow were replenished and loaded, and Moriarty's rest and recovery work finally came to an end.
He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already noon. The warm sunshine was falling on his body, and Moriarty felt a sense of comfort and warmth.
Walking to the dead mutated demon, Moriarty knelt down and used the broken dagger to cut off the corpse's head completely. This would be taken back to Hockenheim as a trophy for the promotion mission.
And when the demon's head was completely cut off from the neck, as the last stream of black blood gurgled out from the fracture of the head and neck, a round crystal bead the size of a thumb suddenly fell out of the demon's chest.
.
The bead was all red and crystal clear, with a hint of red light coming from the center of the bead. Moriarty immediately reached out to pick up the bead and put it in his palm. He immediately felt a burning heat coming from the bead, as if in his hand.
It's like a mini stove.
"Demon core!" Looking at the red crystal bead in his hand, Moriarty's eyes quickly lit up.
This is really an unexpected surprise. Generally speaking, only powerful higher-level creatures can give birth to demon cores in their bodies, which are the most concentrated essence of life. And songs that only belong to low-level demons
Moriarty doesn't know why a demonic core can be born in Leather's body. However, it seems that it has a lot to do with passive evolution and downgraded mutation.
After carefully putting away the precious demon core, Moriarty took off his robe that was as damaged as catkins, formed a rope, and pierced the mutated demon's head. Next, the remaining two Gog demons
He was also beheaded by Moriarty, and his head was also pierced in a string and hung under the saddle.
After glancing around to make sure nothing was missed, Moriarty immediately got on his mount, drove the horse quickly towards the place where the hounds and load were left, and rushed back to Remi Village late that night.
In the early morning of the next day, which was the sixth day after starting the promotion task, Moriarty returned the horses and hounds to the village chief Henryt, and also paid an additional ten gold coins for the rental fee. Then with the village chief's gratitude
The carriage he got into returned to Blue Crystal City.
Half-lying comfortably on the soft seat of the carriage, Moriarty was finally able to relax a little, the nerves that had been tense for hundreds of hours. But as soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes of the past few days were like a slide show again.
It kept replaying before his eyes. Although he was obviously exhausted, Moriarty's spirit was always in a state of mild excitement. Perhaps this was the impact of fighting and killing.
Outside the window, little white snowflakes began to fall from the sky like flying catkins, slowly dyeing the earth and the surrounding fields white. I have to say that Moriarty was very lucky to be able to complete his mission test before the snow fell.
.Otherwise, once you encounter a sudden drop in temperature in the wild, let alone chasing the devil, you may not even be able to guarantee your life safety.
"I wonder what happened to Haina?" Slowly, the figure of the black-haired girl slowly emerged in Moriarty's mind. Although the two were separated for less than a week, when their minds truly settled down,
Moriarty began to miss the girl uncontrollably.
Before evening, the carriage returned to Hockenheim. When Moriarty came out of the carriage, Heyna, who had been waiting at the entrance of the college, threw herself into his arms.
"Okay, don't cry, otherwise your eyes will be swollen." Looking at the black-haired girl with pear blossoms in her arms, Moriarty gently pushed her away. Although she had generally cleaned her body in Remy Village, she still
He changed his robe, but there was still a faint smell of blood lingering around him. So Moriarty really didn't want the black-haired girl to be exposed to these negative things.
However, Heyana didn't seem to feel anything strange at all. She just hugged Moriarty's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in her lover's chest. Until Schmidt, who was standing aside, couldn't bear it anymore.
After coughing lightly, the girl blushed and reluctantly separated from her lover, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around Moriarty's arm, as if she was afraid that the other person would suddenly disappear.
"Welcome back, Moriarty. Thank you for your hard work!" Schmidt glanced at his daughter helplessly, suddenly smiled self-consciously, and then said loudly to Moriarty.
"Thank you, Mr. Schmidt." Moriarty bowed respectfully.
"This time, you did a very good job. You can still defeat the demon mutation. Moriarty, you are fully worthy of the name of 'Mage'." Different from the previous serious attitude, at this moment, the mid-level mage
Schmidt's mood seemed quite high. It could be seen that Schmidt was sincerely happy and relieved that Moriarty could successfully complete the battle mage's task test and return safely.
"Haha, maybe it's just because I'm lucky enough. Moreover, if it weren't for the help of 'loyal companions' and healing scrolls, I might not be able to come back from Rainbow Ranch alive." Moriarty shook his head, very worried.
A fair evaluation of the factors that contribute to one's success.
"Luck is also a part of strength. Moreover, your promotion mission this time is really special. The dean also specifically explained the permission to use low-level magic items in the mission description. So, you don't need to have any worries about this.
.The most important thing is that you succeeded!" Regarding Moriarty's low-key and modesty, Schmidt was uncharacteristically encouraging.
"You are right, Your Excellency. The most important thing is that I successfully completed the test task. Here, thank you again for your many teachings and selfless care over the past two years. Without this, I would not be what I am now." Said,
Moriarty bowed deeply to his uncle again.
"Haha, okay, let's go back." Looking at Moriarty's face, which looked very similar to his deceased sister, the mid-level mage suddenly burst into laughter, then took his nephew's other arm and pointed towards the mage tower.
The direction strode forward: "I think it won't take a few days, the college will hold a formal promotion ceremony for you. But before that, let's recover from the wounds on your body."
"Ah, Moriarty, are you injured? Is it serious?" As if she just knew the extent of Moriarty's injury, Heyana immediately screamed.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." As Schmidt walked forward quickly, Moriarty smiled and comforted Heyna beside him.
"No, I'm going to check it carefully for you when we get back to the Mage Tower." Heyana didn't believe that Moriarty was only slightly injured, otherwise Schmidt wouldn't specifically mention this due to his character.
"Haha, let's talk about it later when we get back." With the mid-level mage beside him, Moriarty did not dare to show too closeness to the girl. Although Schmidt had admitted and accepted the love relationship between the two, but in a
"Teasing" his daughter in front of the father is not a very wise move.
But what is strange is that Schmidt never intervened in his daughter's affectionate behavior, and just walked forward silently.
But sometimes, not expressing your attitude is actually the most clear and unmistakable attitude.
