Chapter 97 Mage Advisor, Magic Swordsman, Mixed and Deep
"Moriarty, since you have been promoted to become an official mage, as usual, I will consult with you on behalf of the capital: Are you interested in joining the city defense army and becoming an accompanying mage?" In a regular swordsmanship practice class.
Finally, Captain Lear suddenly smiled and said to Moriarty.
"Army mage?" Moriarty glanced at Lear.
"Yes." Lear smiled neither lightly nor heavily, making it impossible to read any information from his expression.
"Lille, you know, I am already a registered mage of Hockenheim, and I am about to set up an alchemy studio, so I should no longer be qualified for the position of military mage." After thinking about it, Moriarty directly rejected the invitation.
In the organizational structure of Azurite City, the city defense force is a violent organization directly subordinate to the city lord's government; while Hockenheim, although nominally one of the official organizations of Azurite City, has considerable independence and autonomy. Unless
It must have been an extreme event like a foreign war. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the city government would not easily interfere in the internal affairs of the college. This tradition has continued since the first day when Hockenheim was established in Azurite City.
.Of course, in return and support, the "Azure Mage Group" jointly formed by the City Lord's Palace and Hockenheim was given full authority to the City Lord, and together with the city defense army, became the two powerful pillars supporting the entire Blue Crystal City.
With such a background, you can imagine the difficulty in recruiting mage professionals for the city defense army. Because in Azure City, the first choice for mage employment is always Hockenheim or the Azure Mage Group. Even if Jianfang intends to force
Recruitment will definitely not shake the priority of the above two. So far, the number of mages within the city defense army has not only been scarce, but also their quality and level are mostly uneven. They cannot compete with the mages in the academy and mages group.
Comparable.
Now that Moriarty is an official mage member of Hockenheim, it is reasonable to refuse the city defense army's call. Presumably Lille himself understands that this consultation is more symbolic. And according to Moriarty's original intention,
I will never be willing to be suppressed and restrained by a harsh organization like the Juntai. If I really join it, once the military order is issued, I will truly have no choice but to live or die.
"Haha, I guessed that you would answer like this." Sure enough, seeing Moriarty rejecting the call, Lear nodded with understanding: "But, what if it is my personal invitation?" Suddenly, Lear changed the topic and continued.
asked.
"Your invitation?" Moriarty frowned, unsure of the other party's intentions for the moment.
"Yes, I personally invite you to be my mage advisor. In this case, can you accept it?" Lear said slowly.
"Mage advisor?" Moriarty's eyes flashed, and he understood immediately.
Unlike military mages, mage advisors do not belong to the formal establishment of Junjun, nor do they accept the direct command of Junjun. Instead, they serve as a personal consultant to a certain military officer, assisting him in handling certain military-related tasks. Therefore,
The person the mage advisor is responsible for is not the mean square, but a certain officer himself.
Of course, this form of consultant is rare, but it is not unique. The key lies in the relationship and friendship between the military chief and the mage. Legend has it that General Cruyff invited Schmidt to be his mage.
Consultant, but the mid-level mage refused. But judging from the cooperation between the two in the past few years, Schmidt has actually assumed a large part of the work and responsibilities of a mage consultant.
"How about that? You won't have any worries anymore, right?" Lear chuckled and continued to ask.
"Can you tell me the reason for recruiting me?" Moriarty did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
"The official reason is that the city defense army lacks excellent mages. Without any reference to principles and bottom lines, it is natural to find ways to recruit talents. Especially for new talented mages like you, we must be looking for
Talent is as good as thirsty." Lear said seemingly seriously.
"So actually?"
"The real reason is what General Cruyff meant. As a first-level mage, you also have the strength of a second-level warrior. This fact makes the general very interested. If possible, General Cruyff hopes to
You are used as a blueprint to specially train similar dual-professional combatants. Of course, this new combat profession, tentatively named "Magic Swordsman", will be based on the combat profession, with magic as an auxiliary. Moreover, the mean square has currently planned to
Looking for suitable candidates among the mage apprentices." Even though he was in the main tent of his Chinese army, Lille still lowered his voice, showing the sensitivity of this topic: "In addition, I want to tell you that the general has contacted Shi about this matter.
Mr. Mitt has communicated."
"What's your uncle's opinion?"
"Your Excellency Schmidt did not raise any formal objections." Lear raised his eyebrows with a hint of pride.
According to Schmidt's character, not raising objections in person was tantamount to acquiescence.
"That's right..." Moriarty nodded, then fell into deep thought.
It can be imagined that the core of Cruyff's plan is actually a simplified version of the battle mage: focusing on the warrior profession and supplementing it with mage apprentices, thereby creating a new combat unit like the "Magic Swordsman".
I have to say that this is a very creative and bold idea, but it is also very difficult to implement.
Moriarty didn't know what methods General Cruyff would use to "persuade" mage apprentices to give up the world of magic and switch to the arms of the team. Perhaps, those potential apprentices living outside the magic academy are good targets. But
One thing is for sure, even if there are mage apprentices who are willing to join the "Magic Swordsman" program for some special reasons, the total number of them will definitely not be very large. Furthermore, considering that a considerable proportion of them are not suitable for switching
As a warrior profession, the number of successful Demon Swordsmen that can eventually be created is really limited. And such a number of three or two big cats and kittens will never be able to form an effective combined force in combat. After all, Demon Swordsmen are just simplified versions.
The strength and energy of a battle mage cannot be compared to that of a real dual-professional or mid-level professional. If scale and teamwork are no longer possible, it can be said to be quite useless.
Another possibility is that the city defense army and Hockenheim jointly select those with magical talents from among the warrior professionals in the mean square for special training, in the hope that these people can master at least one first-level spell. The biggest benefit of this method of operation is
Because the base of people to choose from has been greatly increased, the number of magic swordsmen that may be born in the future will also increase accordingly.
But to realize the above plan, Cruyff must first get huge assistance and support from Hockenheim. To this end, Moriarty has no way of knowing or knowing what price the General or the Mean Square will pay to the academy or what conditions it will compensate.
Imagine it. If the "Magic Swordsman Plan" is successfully implemented, Hockenheim College's voice and stealth intervention capabilities within the city defense army system will be greatly improved, and the impact of this variable on the political structure of the entire Blue Crystal City
It will be long-term and profound.
"Are you surprised?" Seeing that Moriarty didn't speak for a while, Lear couldn't help but ask.
"It's indeed a bit incredible." After quickly thinking about a series of possible causes and consequences, Moriarty raised his head and said calmly: "Then why did General Cruyff think that the Magic Swordsman will definitely be a powerful new unit instead of
Will it become an embarrassing profession with shortcomings at both ends?”
"Well, I asked the general this question face to face, but I didn't get a direct answer." Lear shook his head apologetically: "However, Adjutant Hiram once revealed a little information to me in private. In this matter, the students from your college
The higher-ups were also involved...and it seems to be related to your previous promotion test." At this point, Lille stopped talking.
Sure enough, Hockenheim had indeed intervened in the Magic Swordsman project. Moriarty even suspected that it was the academy that directly used some of the information he had in the mage promotion mission as a bargaining chip, and then led Cruyff to have the idea of cultivating Magic Swordsmen.
.
So, what exactly does the academy want to gain by doing this? It is impossible for them not to understand that extending their hands into the city defense army system in this way will inevitably break the current balance of power in Blue Crystal City, and what will the city lord's government do in this regard?
What kind of response or countermeasure?
As soon as he thought about this, Moriarty realized that the water here was too muddy and too deep. With his current strength and status, he was probably just a pawn in the hands of others. Perhaps, since the battle mage mission began
, he had already involuntarily jumped onto this turbulent big chess table.
"Okay, I agree to be your mage advisor." Since you are a chess piece and destined to be unable to leave the chess table in the short term, it is best to have the consciousness and understanding of being a good chess piece. Moriarty paused his thinking and replied
road.
"Very good! I'm glad you agree." No matter in public or private life, Lear was very excited and happy that Moriarty agreed to become his mage advisor.
"This is also an honor for me." Moriarty returned the favor to Lear without missing a beat, and then added: "Then what should I do after becoming your mage advisor? In other words, how should I cooperate with the magic swordsman?
plan?"
"You don't have to do anything yet. The general has not yet issued formal plan steps. However, if you are interested and it does not affect your current work, you may wish to consider joining my squadron and participate in some daily training or patrol missions. I think
, this will be good for your future development." Speaking of this, Lille slightly emphasized his tone: "You know, if the 'Magic Swordsman' is really successful, it is very likely that you will be its first commander.
