"Huck Burning Arrow...", Moriarty seemed to have an idea as she looked at the alchemy blueprint stored in the crystal book. However, the most important thing for the moment is to get EarthStudio up and running first, and the rest should be postponed a bit.

It took another three days for the core structure and installation of the Olympus Garden to be completed. In less than ten days, as long as some painting and finishing operations on the periphery are completed, and then various alchemy test equipment is moved in, the entire building and its studio can be officially opened.

At the same time, the first order signed by Moriarty and Schmidt was also completed and delivered. Since the extraction of this batch of "semi-sulfur solution" was carried out in the mage tower, Moriarty was unable to use his fire elemental domain (pseudo) full firepower during the processing process, and in the end, the average alchemy loss rate reached about 32 percent, slightly more than the two percentage points of the part borne by Schmidt. However, considering the processing remuneration paid by the mid-level mage, the first business of Earth Studio still made a considerable profit.

In the face of this result, although Schmidt was quiet on the surface, and even criticized Moriarty's mistakes in alchemy loss rate control, in his heart, he had already given the nascent Earth Studio a very high rating. What's more, because with Moriarty's co-packing services, it does save a lot of valuable time for mid-level mages in terms of process and timeliness, allowing them to focus more on other experiments and alchemy operations that are more critical. From this point of view, Schmidt's gain is much higher than the little cost paid.

With this successful example of cooperation in the alchemy processing business, coupled with the implicit endorsement of Schmidt's studio, Moriarty then smoothly obtained new orders from two other famous alchemy studios in Blue Crystal City. Of course, similar to Schmidt's approach, the first order amount of Laika Studio and Vegeta Studio is not large, and it is also based on temptation and consideration. However, Moriarty believes that as the cooperation continues to deepen in the future, the contact between the emerging Earth Studios and these established alchemy studios will become more frequent and closer.

With a brand new business and the task of setting up the studio, Moriarty was so busy for the rest of the week that he had to be reduced to a measly three or four hours of sleep every day. Even so, he continued to travel to the Lille squadron on time to learn swordsmanship and fulfill his duties as a mage advisor on a regular basis. And for this, Lille, who knows the inside story, also admires Moriarty's perseverance and persistence.

Finally, three days before New Year's Day, the renovation of the Olympus Garden was completed.

After the last builder carefully removed the last loadload of muck and leftover building materials from the garden, a beautiful bungalow building with a tall domed main building and two wings and a three-story podium stood in front of everyone. The façade of the building, a mixture of white marble and special white clay tiles, shines in the sunlight and reflects the white light all around, blending in with the winter snow scene, almost like an ice palace.

According to southern tradition, Moriarty and Hayna, who are about to be engaged, are no longer fit to meet again before the ceremony, so the opening of the Olympus Garden is quite low-key and simple. There were no celebrations, only Lille and other close friends were invited to visit, and the Blue Planet badge representing Earth Studios was quietly hung outside the garden gate.

After the few guests had taken their leave, Moriarty sat alone in the empty parlor and let out a long breath. At this moment, only the owner is left in the entire Olympus garden, which seems a little lonely and lonely. However, when the garden's future hostess moves in, Moriarty is confident that it will become a warm home. …,

After a short rest, Moriarty got up and headed to Earth Studio, located at the back of the main building.

Including a real yàn room covering an area of more than 200 square meters, and a huge underground space nearly ten meters deep under the real yàn room, Moriarty finally has an alchemy studio that is completely his own. Here, Moriarty doesn't have to worry too much about unnecessary interference or unidentified detections from the outside world. Although Olympus Garden certainly does not provide near-perfect secrecy and protection for mages like the Mage Tower, with the help of a magic shield purchased exclusively from Hockenheim and a few simple but effective spell concealment techniques, Moriarty believes that most of his actions will be safe, at least in the central processing area at the heart of the studio. And even if a certain master suddenly "whims" some special powerful magic to forcibly spy on the Earth Studio, at most he can only see some superficial surfaces, and will never be able to find out the true secret of Moriarty.

Entering the real yàn room, the heavy lead door was closed, and the inner and outer worlds were immediately completely separated. According to the established work plan, Moriarty first maintained and maintained the newly arrived alchemy devices one by one. Because there are not many magical equipment that Earth Studio can have at present, it seems a little thin, and even some of it is rented from Schmidt's studio, but it can finally meet the daily needs of Earth Studio. Of course, after earning enough profits in the future, Moriarty will naturally find ways to continuously replenish new alchemy facilities.

Five hours later, Moriarty came out of the chamber slightly tired, leaving behind a complete set of alchemy components in optimal working condition, ready to start alchemy.

And just as Moriarty returned to the vestibule of the main building to go to the kitchen to have a casual meal, suddenly, a figure that had not been seen for a long time but had always been concerned appeared in front of him through the bright and large floor-to-ceiling glass window.

"Haha, long time no see!" Dressed in a weathered, bearded raza, White laughed and raised his left hand to Moriarty, his "right arm" hidden deep in his oversized travel coat.

"White!" Moriarty looked at his old friend who suddenly appeared in surprise, and couldn't help but shout, then slammed open the door, rushed to the other party's side, and hugged his shoulder: "You're finally here, my follower!" ”

"Hehe, I haven't contacted you for so long, I'm worried." White's left arm also tightened Moriarty's neck, but he smiled and apologized.

"It's good to come, it's good to come!" After patting White's back and shoulder again, Moriarty let go of his embrace, took a step back, and then bowed deeply to White: "I'm sorry! ”

"Haha, the nobles don't want to apologize to the commoners..."Seeing Moriarty's sudden move, White's eyes turned red, and he wanted to laugh a few words, but after all, it was difficult to say, so he just pulled the other party up with his hand: "I am your follower, and it is my duty to block guns and arrows for you!" Or do you think I'm not doing well!? ”

"No, White, you've done your best, but I'm too useless." Looking into White's eyes, Moriarty still shook his head apologetically.

"Hehe, the youngest genius alchemist in the history of Blue Crystal City is also called useless? Ha, Moriarty, are you going to put everyone else to shame to death? White didn't want to go any further on this sentimental topic, and directly interrupted: "Hey, this is the new building you bought?" Hehe, it seems that you have been getting better and better in the past two years. ”

"Well, come on, let's go in. From now on, this is your home. Pressing the emotion in his heart, Moriarty looked up and smiled at White, and then dragged him into the garden. …,

Three days later, on New Year's Day, the engagement ceremony of Moriarty and Hayruna took place at the Olympus Garden.

Although the two newcomers and Schmidt all wanted to complete this sacred moment quietly, peacefully and in a low-key manner, the large number of guests who attended the ceremony still made the atmosphere very warm. Among them, the biggest guests are none other than Maestro Depra and General Cruyff, and the general himself will be a witness to the marriage of Moriarty and Hayna, presiding over the most important engagement vows.

As the center of the ceremony, Moriarty looked very handsome in a gold-trimmed mage robe on a white background. Behind him, Lille and White followed Moriarty's side as best men, dressed in heroic city defense academy and warrior gowns, respectively, greeting the guests. As for White, who had an unfamiliar face and was obviously disabled in one arm, most of the people who arrived had speculations, but it was inconvenient to ask.

Speaking of which, Moriarty met Truyff himself for the first time.

Different from the image of a stern, mighty, and murderous general in ordinary people's impressions, Truyff looks more like a little old man who has worked hard in the countryside all his life. With his thin body, scorched complexion, and even a slight bend on his back, if it weren't for the fact that Lille hastily pulled Cruyff over from afar to greet him, it would have been almost impossible for Moriarty to recognize the humble old man in front of him as the famous "Blue Crystal Bear".

"Welcome, Your Excellency. I am deeply honored and proud to have you presiding over my engagement with Haiyuna today. ”

"Hehe, you and Haiyana are good boys. I'm glad to see you all come together now. Completely different from his short stature, Cruyff's voice was surprisingly loud, faintly regretful like a bronze bell: "And with the entrustment of Brother Schmidt, I am naturally duty-bound, haha!" ”

"Schmidt's entrustment? Hehe, old Ted, you've taken my seat. At this moment, a joking voice suddenly came from the side, and Moriarty turned his head to look, only to see Master Depura smiling slowly towards him surrounded by a group of mages.
