With the Grand Arcanist's promise to make an exception to sell the second- and third-level spell learning scrolls to him, Moriarty could no longer contain the joy in his heart, and his face was full of smiles. There was no doubt that compared to the direct reward of 200,000 gold coins and the large cash inflow every year thereafter, he was more interested in this additional promise, because it represented the improvement of his true strength and the possible new growth of the crystal book in the future. And that's what makes Moriarty stand in the New World.

"There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you, besides the crystal activator." After Moriarty thanked him repeatedly, the Grand Arcanist continued.

"Yes."

"Moriarty, what is your current professional level?" Figaro asked.

"Mage Level 2, Alchemist Level 1, Warrior Level 3. However, I plan to apply to the Academy for the promotion assessment certification of Mage Level 3 and Alchemist Level 2 in the near future. Under the burning gaze of the dean, Moriarty was silent for a moment, bowed his head slightly, and replied half-truthfully.

In fact, with his current magical strength, he was no match for a real fourth-level mage, and his alchemy was close to the third-level mage. However, it is better to hide some things appropriately, so as not to be too shocking. And under the cover of the "Phantom Cologne", which has been successfully concocted, Moriarty believes that even with the eyes of the Grand Arcanist, it will never be possible to see his real hole cards upside down without directly opening the "Perspective Eye".

"Not bad. Mage level 3, warrior level 3, then your arcane war messenger has also reached level 3. The dean nodded, seemingly more concerned about the other party's "hidden profession".

"Yes." Moriarty didn't know what the Grand Arcanist meant, so he continued to nod his head.

"As you may have heard, in recent times, the relationship between the goblin-led city-states in the south and the human city-states in the north has been becoming increasingly tense, and the friction and collision between each other have been heating up, and even the normal north-south trade has been greatly halted as a result." Le Figaro Road.

"Yes, I've heard a few. It seems that the Federal Conference that has just been convened has not gone well, and some 'individuals' have even raised the banner of secession. Moriarty looked at the Dean with a calm gaze, nodded, and said word for word.

"Not likely." The Grand Arcanist shook his head, turned sideways to the two behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I can make it clear to you here that according to the latest magical information from Lady Cold Spring, this year's Federation Conference negotiations have completely broken down. And just yesterday, the southern city of Khumbu and Edelweiss formed an alliance and announced its withdrawal from the Bracada Federation. It won't be long before other goblin city-states and even the cities of Titan and Naga will join in and form a new 'Pseudo-South Bracada Alliance'. ”

"Is this true? My lord! Obviously, it was the first time that Depra and Schmidt had heard such a definite news, and Qi Qi's face changed: "In this way, war can no longer be avoided!" ”

"Yes, war—" Figaro nodded helplessly.

As a native of Bracada, the Grand Arcanist also doesn't want to see war in his hometown. But now that the southern city-states are so openly carrying flags and firing cannons to engage in independence, then the human beings in the north have no choice. Whether it is for the unification of the federation or for the vested interests in its own hands, it is necessary to suppress the small number of "evil-road elements" in the south, even if the blood is flowing and even the lives are miserable.

"So, Lady Cold Spring has ordered the Blue Crystal City Defense Army to start preparing for battle. And if the last diplomatic effort fails, then our human city-states in the north will conclude an alliance and form a coalition to go to the south to quell the rebellion! Figaro sighed lightly, and then his voice turned cold. …,

"Yes, sir." Moriarty and the other three immediately bowed in unison.

"So, Lord Figaro, what is our mission at Hockenheim?" Since the outbreak of war was imminent, the Academy of Magic, which had always been obedient to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, was bound to be unable to stay out of the matter, and the high-level mage immediately asked for advice.

"I have made preliminary consultations with Madam Hanquan, and she is the supreme commander of the army, who is responsible for the command and dealings with the coalition forces; Hockenheim, on the other hand, temporarily transferred the mages to join the Azure Mage Regiment, and I assumed the position of leader. Figaro said slowly: "Of course, some of the original people in the mage regiment will also be temporarily transferred to the city defense army. ”

"I see." Moriarty, who was listening, nodded secretly.

As the Grand Arcanist, Figaro would not be able to succumb to Lady Coldspring. Now the shell of the Azure Mage Regiment is temporarily stripped out and handed over to Hockenheim for control, which not only perfectly pulls the academy into the chariot, but also brings the original group of stalwarts mages in the Mage Corps into the direct jurisdiction of the City Defense Army's City Lord's Mansion, which can be described as an extremely beautiful stroke. Of course, Figaro would have agreed to be the wartime leader of the Azure Mage Regiment, and the City Lord's Mansion must have invested a lot of extra money.

"So, it's your task to integrate the remaining forces of Hockenheim and the Azure Mage Regiment, and to form an effective battle force as much as possible, little Moltke." So said Figaro.

"Yes, sir!" Depra immediately agreed.

"Schmidt, you and Vegeta's studio need to be fully activated. Your Blue Beauty and Vegeta's magic scrolls will be directly related to the combat power of the mage group. Then, the Grand Arcanist looked at the mid-level mage on the other side.

"Yes, my lord, I will live up to your trust." Schmidt bowed in agreement.

"As for you, Moriarty, soon the city defense forces will be sending additional orders for armor-piercing arrows to Earthstudios. In this regard, you can take some of it appropriately, and you don't need to take it all. Your main task is to assemble a squadron of guards of the Azure Mage. Finally, the Grand Arcanist said to Moriarty.

"Guard squadron?" Moriarty was taken aback.

"Yes. As the leader of the mage regiment, I must ensure that the regiment has a strong melee combat unit to protect the mages. Figaro nodded.

"However, the city defense army there..."In addition to the existing military system of Blue Crystal City, another portal and an independent squadron were formed, which at least offended the city defense army, and at worst, it was to compete with the city lord's mansion for territory and stumble.

"Don't worry about that, there's no problem with the city defense army anymore." The Dean smiled slightly.

Sure enough, it seems that this mage regiment guard squadron should also be one of the capitals of the city lord's mansion. And whether such a precedent is easy to open or not to be closed, how to end it in the future is a huge problem.

"I remember that you were already the honorary deputy squadron leader of the city defense army." At this time, Figaro said again.

"Yes." Moriarty nodded, this title was only retrieved from the alchemy drawings and copyrights of the Armor Piercing Series that were previously disclosed to the City Lord's Mansion, but it has always been an empty title, and it has no real power, and it is not as important as the identity of the personal mage advisor of the leader of the Lille squadron.

"So, this time, Lady Cold Spring and General Cruyff have named you to become the actual commander of the guard squadron. And I am very satisfied with this kind of construction. ”

"Yes, thank you for your trust and cultivation."

Moriarty didn't expect that he himself would become a bargaining chip in the power game of Blue Crystal City this time, and it was extremely rare to get the mutual approval of both sides. But when you think about it, whether it is a peripheral member of the Cruyff line in the city defense army, or a genius alchemist of the Hockenheim line, it is normal to be trusted and reused. On the contrary, it is the recommendation of the City Lord's Mansion, I'm afraid it's just a simple follow-up, and it can be regarded as repaying the favor of winning the armor-piercing arrow series before. …,

"The formation of the guard squadron of the Azure Mage Regiment is a reinforced squadron, with a number of seventy to eighty men. When you go back, do your best to determine the structure and report it to Moltke Jr. Hockenheim is solely responsible for funding and equipment. The Dean said, "In addition, there will be a squad of Demon Swordsmen who will report to you later, and they will also be part of the guard squadron." ”

"Demon Swordsman?" Hearing this slightly novel word again after a few years, Moriarty was slightly stunned.

"This is a brand-new combat unit jointly developed and trained by the academy and the city defense army. Similar to your Arcane Emissary, all Demon Swordsmen have the melee abilities of the Warrior class and are able to cast one or two Tier 1 spells. It can be said to be a simplified version of the Olympic War Messenger. Figaro explained simply: "It's just that, although they have worked hard to cultivate, there are only more than 20 demon swordsmen who have successfully advanced so far. As for the rest of the magic swordsmen, they were all under the command of General Cruyff. ”

"I'll do my best to make good use of this rare force, Lord Dean."

A strengthened squadron, including a squad of demon swordsmen, Moriarty only felt that the strength he had just obtained was a little too heavy. Sometimes, it's not necessarily a good thing to be too pampered. However, at this moment, he did not have the slightest bargaining conditions, so he could only accept it respectfully.

After explaining the rest of their work, the Grand Arcanist of Figaro left first. The three mages who were left behind looked at each other in silence for a moment, but they couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

In any case, when the shadow of war begins to fall over the land, no one but the madman will be in a good mood.

"Alright, Moriarty, tomorrow you will come to the academy and buy the second- and third-level spell learning scrolls you need. As for the new professional level certification, let's do our best. I think the next few days are going to be very busy. After calming down, the high-ranking mage greeted Moriarty again, and left the small building.

Eventually, Moriarty traveled with Schmidt to the Mage's Tower. Because they also have so much to discuss
