"Moriarty, now that you have been promoted to the rank of official mage, I will consult you on behalf of the average according to the convention: I wonder if you are interested in joining the city defense force and becoming a military mage?" After a regular sword practice session, Squadron Leader Lille suddenly smiled and said to Moriarty.

"Companion Mage?" Moriarty glanced at Lille.

"Yes." Lille laughed so hard that it was impossible to read any information from his expression.

"Lille, you know, I'm already a registered mage in Hockenheim, and I'm about to set up an alchemy studio, so I shouldn't be able to take on the position of military mage anymore." After thinking about it, Moriarty directly declined the invitation.

In the organizational structure of Blue Crystal City, the city defense army is a violent organ directly subordinate to the city lord's mansion; Although Hockenheim is nominally one of the official organizations of Blue Crystal City, it has considerable autonomy and autonomy. Unless there is an extreme event such as a foreign war, the City Lord's Mansion will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Academy lightly, and this tradition has continued since the first day of Hockenheim's establishment in Blue Crystal City. Of course, in return and support, the "Azure Mage Regiment" jointly formed by the City Lord's Mansion and Hockenheim was handed over to the City Lord with full jurisdiction, and together with the City Defense Army, they became the two powerful pillars that supported the entire Blue Crystal City.

With such a background, one can imagine the difficulty of recruiting mage professionals on the part of the city defense army. Because in Aquamarine, the first choice for a mage is always Hockenheim or the Azure Mage. Even if the balance party intends to forcibly recruit, it will definitely not be able to shake the right of first choice of the above two. As a result, the number of mages within the city defense army has not only been scarce, but most of them have uneven levels and levels, which cannot be compared with the mage professionals of the academy and the mage regiment.

Now that Moriarty was an official mage member of Hockenheim, it made sense to refuse the call up of the city guards. Presumably, Lille himself understands that this consultation is more of a symbolic sense. And according to Moriarty's original intention, he would never be willing to be suppressed and restrained by a harsh organization like the Equals. If you really join it, once the military order is issued, you will really be involuntarily borne, and life and death will follow.

"Hehe, I guessed you'd answer like that." Sure enough, seeing that Moriarty refused to be recruited, Lille also nodded knowingly: "However, what if it is my personal invitation?" Suddenly, Lille shifted and asked.

"Your invitation?" Moriarty frowned, unsure of the other party's intentions for a moment.

"Yes, I personally invite you to be my mage advisor. Is that acceptable to you? Lille said slowly.

"Mage Advisor?" Moriarty's eyes flashed, and then he understood.

Unlike the Accompanying Mage, the Mage Advisor does not belong to the official formation of the Equals and does not accept the direct command of the Equals, but acts as a personal advisor to a military commander to assist him in certain military-related work. Therefore, the mage advisor is not responsible for the balance of the square, but for a certain officer himself.

Of course, this form of consultant is rare, but it's not unique. The key is to look at the relationship and friendship between the military commander and the mage. Legend has it that General Cruyff had invited Schmidt to be his advisor to the mage, but the mid-level mage refused. But judging from the cooperation between the two in the past few years, Schmidt has actually taken on a large part of the work and responsibilities of the mage consultant.

"Well, you shouldn't have any more worries, right?" Lille smiled and continued to ask.

"Can you tell us why you hired me?" Instead of answering immediately, Moriarty asked rhetorically. …,

"The official reason is that the city defense army lacks excellent mage personnel, and it is natural to try its best to recruit talents without involving principles and bottom lines. Especially for a newly promoted genius like you, we must be eager to find talents. "Lille seems to be serious.

"And actually?"

"The real reason is what General Cruyff meant. As a first-class mage, you already have the strength of a second-level warrior, which is of great interest to the general. If possible, General Cruyff would like to use you as a model to train similar dual-class fighters. Of course, this new combat class, tentatively named 'Demon Swordsman', is bound to be based on combat duties, with magic as a support. Moreover, at present, Mean Square has planned to find suitable candidates among the mage apprentices. Despite being in his own Chinese army, Lille kept his voice down, showing the sensitivity of the subject: "Another thing I want to tell you is that the general has communicated with His Excellency Schmidt about this matter. ”

"What about uncle's opinion?"

"His Excellency Schmidt has not raised a formal objection." Lille furrowed his eyebrows slightly smugly.

According to Schmidt's character, not objecting to his face is tantamount to acquiescence.

"That's right," Moriarty nodded, and then fell into deep thought.

As you can imagine, the core of Cruyff's plan is actually a simplified version of the Battle Mage: focusing on the warrior class, supplemented by the mage apprentice, so as to create a new combat unit called the "Demon Swordsman".

It has to be said that this is a very creative and bold idea, but it is also very difficult to implement.

It was not clear what General Cruyff would use to "persuade" the apprentice mage to abandon the wizarding world and join the Evens. Perhaps, potential apprentices who are outside the Academy of Magic are good targets. One thing is for sure, even if there are mage apprentices who are willing to join the Demon Swordsman program for some special reason, the overall number will not be very large. Considering that a significant percentage of them are not suitable for the profession of warrior, then there is really a limit to the number of magic swordsmen who can ultimately make a successful one. And the number of big cats and small cats in this way can never form an effective fighting force. After all, the Demon Swordsman is just a simplified version of the Battle Mage, and the strength and energy of the real Battle Technique Dual Profession or Intermediate Profession are completely incomparable. If you can't achieve scale and teamwork, it can be said that it is quite a frustration.

There is also the possibility that the city defense force and Hockenheim will jointly select those with magical talents from among the warrior professions of the average square and cultivate them in the hope that these people can master at least one first-level spell. The biggest advantage of this method of operation is that the number of people to choose from has been greatly increased, and the number of magic swordsmen that may be born in the future has increased accordingly.

But to achieve this, Cruyff had to first receive great assistance and support from Hockenheim. For this, the price that the general or the average side would pay to the academy or what conditions to compensate, Moriarty could not know or imagine. If the "Magic Swordsman Plan" is really successfully implemented, Hockenheim Academy's voice and stealth interference ability within the city defense system are bound to be greatly improved, and the impact of this variable on the political pattern of the entire Blue Crystal City will be long-term and profound.

"Aren't you surprised?" Seeing that Moriarty didn't speak for a while, Lille couldn't help but say.

"It's kind of incredible." After quickly thinking about a series of possible causes and consequences, Moriarty raised his head and said quietly: "Then why does General Cruyff think that the Demon Swordsman must be a powerful new class, and not an embarrassing profession with two shortcomings? ”…,

"Well, I asked the general this question in person, but I didn't get a direct answer." Lille shook his head apologetically, "But Adjutant Shiram has privately revealed a little bit of information to me, and the top management of your academy is also involved in this matter... And it also seems to be related to your previous advancement test. At this, Lille was silent.

Sure enough, Hockenheim had indeed intervened in the Demon Swordsman Project. Moriarty even suspected that it was directly the academy that used some of his information in the mage promotion mission as a bargaining chip, which led Cruyff to the idea of cultivating magic swordsmen.

So, what exactly does the college want by doing this? It is impossible for them not to understand that putting their hands into the city defense system like this will inevitably break the balance of power of the existing Blue Crystal City, and what kind of response or countermeasures will the City Lord's Mansion make to this?

As soon as he thought of this, Moriarty found that the water in it was too mixed and too deep, and with his current strength and status, he was probably just a pawn in the hands of others. Perhaps, since the beginning of that battle mage mission, he has involuntarily jumped onto this big choppy chess table.

"Well, I agree to be your mage advisor." Since he is a pawn and is destined to not be able to leave the chess table in the short term, it is better to have the awareness and awareness of being a good pawn," Moriarty replied after pausing his thoughts.

"Excellent! I'm glad you agree. "Both in public and private, Lille was thrilled and delighted that Moriarty had agreed to become his mage advisor.

"It's also my pleasure." Moriarty returned the salute to Lille and continued, "So what should I do after becoming your mage advisor?" Or, how should it cooperate with the Demon Swordsman plan? ”

"There is no need to do anything at the moment, the general has not yet issued formal programmatic steps. However, if you are interested and do not interfere with your current work, you may want to consider joining my squadron and participating in some daily training or patrol missions. I think it's good for you in the future. Speaking of this, Lille accentuated slightly: "You know, if the 'Demon Swordsman' is really successful, it is likely that you will be its first commander. ”

It's really good, there is still zài on the earth, so I still have to work overtime at the end of the year~

Ying Sanzhong, give even power! Help an elephant get home from work early and code words!!

Of course, the power of the recommendation ticket is like it, hehe.
