Chapter 63: Gifts, Layers of Life, Every Day

After giving Moriarty a detailed introduction to the area distribution and functional facilities of the living and assistant floors, Hayyna led him to a door in the back of the assistant floor. Then I unlocked the door, and inside was a room of about 20 square meters, with a work desk, a chair, and a simple single bed.

"Moriarty, this is your room, but it's a little smaller." Hayyna said apologetically to Moriarty.

"That's already good, cousin, thank you." Of course, Moriarty did not have the luxury of occupying an entire floor by himself like Schmidt, which was the prerogative of the tower master. Besides, every inch of space in the mage tower is an inch of gold, and now there is such a separate room for him, which is already very much taken care of.

"If only you're satisfied." Haiyuna shook her head, then handed a golden key to Moriarty: "This is the key to the door, please keep it." If you lose it, you can only ask Dad to open it. ”

"Okay." Moriarty thanked him and took it, and put it away carefully.

"My workshop is next door to you, if you have a problem, you can come to me at any time, it's okay." Haiyuna pointed to an adjacent room on her right.

"Yes, I remember, thank you."

"One thing to note, though, is that if you don't have to, don't disturb the work of other mages, especially Dad. Otherwise, it will cause trouble to everyone. At this time, Haiyana took special care of her.

"Yes, I understand." Moriarty glanced at the other closed doors on the assistant floor and nodded earnestly.

As Haiyuna had already mentioned, in addition to Moriarty and her, there were three other low-level mages working in this mage tower. They were all part of the studio and were hired by Schmidt. However, all three mages are currently in working condition, so Moriarty can't see them immediately.

"Okay, you can familiarize yourself here. I'm going to prepare lunch, and you'll be able to dine in a moment. "Like Moriarty, Hayarna was only a mage's apprentice. So in addition to studying magic in Hockenheim, he also served as a life assistant in the Mage Tower: "In the afternoon, I will accompany you to the academy to go through the enrollment procedures." Don't worry, with Dad's recommendation, it's definitely no problem. With that, the girl smiled at Moriarty again and prepared to leave.

"Cousin Haiyna, please wait." Suddenly, Moriarty whispered to him.

"Well, anything else?" Hayarna turned around and looked patiently at Moriati.

"Cousin, thank you for taking care of me all the time. Before, the "Level 1 Spell Theory" and "Elementary Alchemy Guide" you selected for me were very useful and almost saved my life. Moriarty first bowed deeply to Hayyna and said sincerely.

"No, no—" Seemingly "frightened" by Moriarty's formal thanks, Hayyna shook her hand repeatedly.

"So, as a token of my appreciation, please accept this gift." As he spoke, Moriarty took out a blue velvet locket from his bosom and handed it to the other party with both hands: "Although it is not a particularly precious thing, I hope you can like it." ”

"This—" Hayyna looked at the velvet box, then at Moriarty, thought for a moment, reached out to take it, and then opened it. In the box is the unusually delicate mermaid brooch.

"It's beautiful." Haiyana looked at the "mermaid" in her palm, her left hand couldn't help covering her mouth, and her eyes showed joy.

"This is very valuable, isn't it?" However, Hayyna did not take out the brooch directly, but asked with some caution.

"No, it's just average." Moriarty shook her head slightly.

Eight hundred Erathia gold coins can be a lot of money for a civilian, but for a mage, it's just the price of a basic magic book. So from this point of view, a mermaid brooch is really not an expensive gift. Of course, if it weren't for the stolen goods, the actual value of such a brooch would have to be doubled several times. …,

"Please, cousin, you must take it. Because only a beautiful girl like you deserves it. Seeing that Hayarna did like the brooch, but seemed to hesitate, Moriarty lost no time in persuading her.

"So... All right. Thank you, Moriarty. The black-haired girl's white cheeks flushed slightly, and she bowed her head and whispered thanks to the giver.

"You're welcome."

"I'll see you at the restaurant later."

"See you later."

When Hayyna was gone, Moriarty walked into her workshop and closed the door.

"Oh, a clever lad, very good at pleasing girls. It seems that the education of the aristocracy was not for nothing. At the same time, Schmidt stood in his laboratory, looking at a one-man silver mirror, and muttered to himself in a non-derogatory manner. And in the mirror, it was the door that had just been closed by Moriarty.

As the master of the Mage Tower, Schmidt is able to monitor all public areas through the surveillance system inside the Guò Tower. And, if necessary, even the assistant workstations assigned to each studio member can be monitored. Of course, the vast majority of mages don't have such a bad habit of stealing losses. Because a person who cannot successfully control his own desires cannot become a qualified mage at all.

When Hayyna accepted the gift and left, and Moriarty entered his workshop, Schmidt interrupted the image in the silver mirror, which then reverted to its normal appearance.

There is no doubt that Moriarty has managed to make a good impression on his uncle. Whether it is his basic ability of spells or dealing with people, it actually greatly exceeds the passing mark in Schmidt's heart, and it is not impossible to even call it excellent. However, this qiē is just the beginning. Moriarty still has a long way to go before he can truly gain the trust and approval of a mid-level mage who is rigorous by nature and even has some old-fashioned dogma.

After about two and a half hours in his new studio, Moriarty went out to the living level on the first floor.

Because the teleportation array between the various floors in the mage tower has already been programmed, you only need to cast a trace of mana as a catalyst to activate it and go to the floor you want to go to (within your authority, of course). On the other hand, if it is a non-master, it will not be possible to use the teleportation array to shuttle through the mage tower, unless another person with mana is willing to carry it through.

Having begun to get used to the dizziness caused by the teleportation of the magic array, Moriarty just stared, stepped out of the formation, and stood in the middle of the life layer.

"Moriarty, you're here? Sit down on the sofa over there, and lunch is ready. The living floor is simply a large room, but it is divided into several functional areas of different sizes with different furniture furnishings, so Haiyna, who is busy in the kitchen, saw Moriarty at a glance and immediately smiled.

"Okay, no rush." Moriarty smiled in return, and then unceremoniously went to the side lounge, poured himself a glass of water from a small bar, and sat down on the sofa.

Of course, there were three or four other juices in the bar besides water, but there was no alcohol. Because the vast majority of mages are forbidden to drink, because alcohol can paralyze people's nerves and affect the caster of spells. But at this point, Moriarty is not a good job. And if Moriarty is bumped into drinking by Uncle Schmidt in the future, he will definitely receive a severe reprimand.

After about ten minutes, Haiyuna had prepared her lunch and brought it to a large dining table on the other side.

"Moriarty, it's time to eat." Kaiyuna greeted as she laid out the dishes.

"Okay." Moriarty put down her glass and sat down at an empty table next to the table. By this time, the plate in front of him was already full of a serving of creamy salmon macaroni. At the same time, there is a large glass of fresh tomato juice in a mug next to it. …,

"It smells so good!" Moriarty tilted his head forward, sniffed a large puff of the white mist that floated from the macaroni, and immediately exclaimed loudly.

"Hehe, thank you. Eat it quickly, or it won't be good if it's cold. Haiyana smiled nicely and sat down across from him.

At this time, the delicate and beautiful mermaid brooch was pinned to the chest of the girl's robe. Seeing this, Moriarty also smiled slightly with satisfaction.

"Yes, it tastes so good." Moriarty picks up a piece of deep-fried pink salmon with a fork and serves it in his mouth with creamy macaroni, chews it, and swallows it in one gulp.

"Are you still used to eating? I've heard that the aristocracy of Erathia is very particular about its diet, but in Bracada it's a lot more casual. So I'm afraid you're not used to it. The attentive brunette girl watched Moriarty's expression carefully, and when she was sure that she really liked her lunch, she laughed happily.

"This macaroni dish is delicious, cousin Hayna. Your cooking is really good. Moriarty put down his fork and smiled at the girl, "Actually, in Erathia, the nobles' meals are not as luxurious as the legend says. Even in some places, the pulp is cooked in a pot before eating the fruit. Hehe, I can't imagine it. ”

"Really? Can fruit still be eaten like this? Hayyna immediately showed an incredulous expression, clearly attracted by such an interesting rumor.

"It's true." Moriarty nodded, and at the same time inserted a large slice of macaroni: "So if you are willing to go to Erathia to be a chef, cousin, there will be many nobles who will fight to hire you." Moriarty said with a slight exaggeration, then swallowed the macaroni on the fork.

"Hehe, I don't believe it." Haiyuna shook her head cutely, not as if she was so easy to deceive, but her smile was even bigger.

"Huh? Cousin, do you only eat so little? At this time, Moriarty looked at the plate in front of the girl and asked strangely. Because there was only a slice of white bread and a few slices of apple.

"It's... Not a lot. When she heard this, she couldn't help but blush.

"Oh." Looking at the girl's shy expression, Moriarty understood a little. It seems that whether it is the earth world or the magic world, losing weight for girls is an unavoidable eternal proposition.

"So, aren't the other mages coming for dinner? And what about Uncle Schmidt? Isn't it rude for me to eat first like this? Not intending to cause the brunette girl too much shyness again, Moriarty quickly changed the subject.

"Dad, they're okay. As you will know later, mages at work are like this, they are neither hungry nor thirsty. When they can't stand it anymore, they will naturally come down. As she spoke, Hayina's eyes showed a little helplessness and a little loneliness.

Yes, a young girl lives in such a cold mage tower, with no friends, and no one to talk to every day. Lonely, how could you let her go?

"Cousin Haiyna, if you don't bother, I hope to have a delicious meal here every day in the future. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or supper, is it okay? At this time, Moriarty suddenly looked at Haiyana seriously and said.

"Of course, okay, every day." The girl was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed slowly, and laughed very happily

The second request for a visa was denied, but I can't help it.

Perhaps, I don't like this style of writing very much.

Hold on a little longer.
