Moriarty's agreement to become Hockenheim's registered mage was undoubtedly a happy outcome, and Schmidt was even more pleased with Moriarty's respectful attitude towards Hayurna. Although as a traditional Bracada man, the mid-level mage has always been strong and assertive in his own married life, this does not mean that he wants his daughter's future husband to be similar to him, and is a complete machismo. And the thoughtfulness and tenderness expressed by Moriarty for the girl really made Schmidt very happy.

However, after Moriarty officially accepted the invitation from the Academy, he also proposed that he would like to hold a formal promotion ceremony for mages and alchemists at the same time as he passed the Guò first-class mage test.

"So, when are you going to apply for the first-level mage assessment?" In fact, in Schmidt's opinion, Moriarty undoubtedly has the strength of a full-fledged mage. Putting aside the amount of mana and mental strength, Moriarty alone has mastered five first-level spells, which is even close to the promotion standard of second-level mages. (Schmidt doesn't know that Moriarty also has mastered bloodlust.)

"Two months from now, when the contract deadline is due." Moriarty had clearly figured it out, and immediately replied.

"The duration of the deed... Yes, I see. For such an arrangement, the mid-level mage didn't feel anything wrong: "So what are your plans for the next two months?" ”

"I hope to use the remaining sixty-odd days to learn about 'petrified skin.'" Moriarty smiled and said.

"Is the first-level earth-based spell 'Petrified Skin'? Well, as agreed, you can still get half-price study scrolls from my studio. Schmidt has also become accustomed to Moriarty's extraordinary speed of learning spells. Since his nephew is a genius alchemist, it is not surprising that he is also a genius mage.

"Besides, I have one more thing I want to ask you, uncle." At this time, Moriarty suddenly said again.

"You say."

"I hope you can help me find a great sword teacher to guide me." Moriarty smiled.

"Swordsmanship teacher?" When the middle-level mage on the opposite side heard this, his face immediately turned strange.

"That's right, uncle. I trained as a mid-tier knight when I was in Erathia and achieved the strength of a first-tier warrior. I don't want to give up on this aspect, but I intend to go deeper. Of course, as a mage professional, I don't expect to achieve much in the path of a warrior, but at least at this stage, it is beneficial for me to have some melee ability. Moriarty explained slowly.

"You're still a first-class warrior?" Obviously, Schmidt was unaware of this.

However, as Moriarty said, having some additional melee combat abilities is quite advantageous for a low-level mage like him. This is because most low-level mages are not yet able to master mid-to-high-end spell-casting techniques such as instantaneous, silent, and delayed, and it is unlikely that they will be able to obtain too good magic items. Therefore, once faced with the danger of being attacked by the enemy in close quarters, low-level mages will often be killed and injured because they can't respond.

"A first-level warrior, a first-level alchemist, and a first-level mage in the future... Moriarty, you really don't know what to say. Looking at his nephew, Schmidt let out a long sigh before continuing, "Okay, I'll contact Lille. Invite him to be your sword instructor. Lille is the squadron leader of the city defense of Blue Crystal City, which should be enough to teach you. ”

"Thank you very much, uncle." Moriarty was overjoyed and immediately thanked him.

In Blue Crystal City, the standing armed forces mainly include the "Blue Crystal City Defense Army" and the "Azure Mage Regiment". Among them, the standing strength of the Blue Crystal City Defense Army is about 600 to 700 people, while the real field force should be around 500 people. Then, according to the calculation of fifty people in a squadron, this Lille squadron leader has already mastered one-tenth of the combat power of the city defense army, and can be called a real real power figure. And being able to invite such a person to be Moriarty's swordsmanship teacher shows Schmidt's amazing energy in Aqua City on the one hand, and at the same time, it also shows the importance he attaches to Moriarty. In addition to further improving his swordsmanship, Moriarty also gained a great opportunity to establish friendship with local powerhouses. …,

Two days later, at the Mage Tower, Moriarty met Squadron Leader Lille for the first time.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Schmidt. Mr. Cruyff asked me to express my sincere greetings and thanks to you on his behalf. "Lille, dressed in silver-scaled armor. As soon as Zigru entered the Mage Tower, he respectfully saluted the mid-level mage.

Look at the age, Lille. Ziegru was about thirty years old, in the prime of a warrior's life. He was not tall, had a simple hairstyle, and his limbs were unusually thick. It seems that because of a visit to the Mage Tower, Lille did not wear a blade, and even the helmet was removed and rested on his left arm. However, in his gestures, the squadron leader still has a full flavor of fierceness and bravery. In particular, his eyes were sharp and implied a certain dull blood color, as if they had been dyed by witnessing too much blood.

Although it may not be too accurate, Moriarty vaguely senses that Lille's strength may be close to that of Hamilton the Lionheart.

"You don't have to be so polite, Squadron Leader Lear, please be seated." In response to Lille's respectful salute, Schmidt nodded and smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." It seemed that Lille was also familiar with the temperament of the owner of the mage tower, even if the mid-level mage's welcoming attitude was a little cold and not annoyed, he sat down directly on the sofa.

Then, Hayuna came up from the side and offered a cup of coffee, and Lille thanked him.

"I'm asking Captain Lille to come here today because I want to ask you for help." Schmidt's way of talking is always straight to the point.

"Speak, please." Lille didn't think about it, and directly agreed.

"My nephew, Moriarty, wants to find a sword teacher to teach him his martial arts, so I'm going to ask you to teach him. May I? With that, Schmidt pointed to the inconspicuous Moriarty, who had been standing by his side since just now.

"Your nephew Moriarty, the newly-minted genius alchemist... A sword teacher? Obviously, Squadron Leader Lille, who is a middle-level powerhouse in Aquamarine City, has also heard the magical story of the mage's apprentice who was promoted to a first-level alchemist not long ago, but he never expected that he would be invited to become the alchemist's swordsmanship teacher.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Squadron Leader Lille." Looking at Lil's surprised face, Moriarty stepped forward and smiled in salute. However, he did not use the etiquette of a non-teacher, but the standard Elasia knight salute.

"Hello, Mage Moriarty, it looks like you once trained as a knight in Erathia?" The so-called connoisseur will know if there is one or not, just from a military salute by Moriarty, Lille is enough to see that the other party does have a fairly basic warrior strength, and it is by no means the kind of pretense or vain.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I once studied warrior skills with a seventh-level knight for nearly a year, and obtained the certification of a first-level warrior." Moriarty replied.

"I see." Lille nodded, and his expression slowly relaxed.

Now that Moriarty already has a good foundation, it will not be very difficult for him to take over as his sword teacher. Otherwise, if the young man in front of him is really just a helpless and whimsical rookie, there will really be a headache. You know, it's His Excellency Schmidt who is asking for himself now, and Lille has no room to refuse. Otherwise, before the mid-level mage gets angry, his immediate boss, General Cruyff, will directly "kill" him to apologize to Schmidt. You know, General Cruyff and the mid-level mage have been friends for decades. Moreover, thanks to the relationship of Guò Schmidt's studio, the four squadrons under Cruyff were able to purchase a large number of alchemical potions at a fairly favorable price every year, including brute force potions, healing potions, antidotes, and so on. At market price, Cruyff would have to pay more than twice as much to buy the same amount of goods, and the quality and effect of the potions would never be comparable to those produced by Schmidt's studio. Therefore, at this moment, even if Schmidt's request for Lil's help was ten times more difficult, he could only agree to it. …,

"Then let's do it, tomorrow morning you will come to the military camp in the south of the city to find me, and then start the formal training." After a moment's thought, Lille said directly.

"Thank you, Squadron Leader Lille." Moriarty thanked him and stepped aside.

"Very well, then please." Seeing that Lille readily agreed, Schmidt was very satisfied, and the smile on his face could not help but increase.

"Your Excellency Schmidt, you're gracious. Besides, it is also an honor for me to serve a genius alchemist. Lille shook his hand, smiling at Moriarty. But he was telling the truth, and it would be good for Lille himself to form a friendship with a promising alchemist like Moriarty.

This is called "cooperation is mutually beneficial", and everyone present understands it in their hearts.

"I heard that Cruyff took you and another squadron out on a business trip last month, is the mission still smooth?" After the business was discussed, everyone's mood immediately relaxed, Schmidt sat on the sofa opposite and asked casually.

"Yes, it's smooth." For an alchemist of the level of Schmidt, most of the information in Aquamarine City is open to him, so Lille's mission is not a secret, and he immediately replied: "Because of the powerful intelligence, we surrounded and annihilated the demon team that invaded Bracada from the spatial gap near the Xiaoice Plain." However, there are a few Ge Ge who are on the run, and they have lost their traces for the time being. ”

"Well, it looks like Master Saradogat is busy again." Schmidt nodded.

"Yes, right now, Squadron Leader Barak's team is stationed in Xiaoice Plain, helping to protect Master Saradogat and repair the spatial rift there. Come to think of it, it shouldn't be a big problem. "Lille Dao.

"I hope so."

Then Lille and Schmidt chatted a few more words, then got up to take their leave, and Schmidt personally sent him out of the mage's tower.
