Chapter Ninety-Five: Black Box, Three Professions of the Law System, Two Things
The issuance of a certified scroll and a silver "Alchemy Hand" symbolizing the status of an alchemist, as well as the introduction of the mutual rights and obligations between Hockenheim and the registered alchemist, has basically ended the promotion ceremony of Moriarty's first-class alchemist.
"Then next, we will proceed with the promotion certification of a first-level mage." Depra paused, then declared.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Putting the alchemist's certification scroll in his robe-bag, Moriarty said.
Compared to the high-ranking alchemist, the promotion ceremony of a first-level mage is much more ordinary and quick. There wasn't even a special certification scroll, and Moriarty simply took a silver star symbolizing a first-class mage from Depra's hand and officially became a first-class mage. As previously briefly introduced by the high-level mage, as a first-level mage, Moriarty can receive a monthly subsidy of one hundred gold coins from the academy official. Other than that, there are no more benefits worth mentioning.
However, the focus of Moriarty's promotion to a Rank 1 mage was clearly not about accepting a silver star and receiving a salary guarantee of a mere hundred gold coins. After Moriarty put the silver star away, a black box was slowly handed to him.
Glancing at Depra, Moriarty took the black box, but did not immediately open it.
"Please open the box." Depra Road.
"Yes."
After carefully scanning the black box, Moriarty stretched out his right hand, gently opened the lid, and looked inside, only to see that there was an ancient badge with a strange shape, a dark golden plant seed with an abnormal shriveled appearance, and a turquoise leaf made of unknown material.
"These areβ" Moriarty's heart moved, and then he looked up at the High Mage.
"This is the secret information about the 'Archon of the Arcane' that the Dean discovered while exploring the ancient ruins. As agreed beforehand, I will give it to you now. Depra looked at Moriarty and said.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Grand Arcanist."
Sure enough, Moriarty immediately bowed deeply. Although this was the reward he earned after going through a hard battle and completing the Battle Mage mission, the three items in the box were rare magic items inherited from the Elven Empire, so it was not unreasonable to call them treasures. And the fact that the dean of the academy, who had never met so far, was able to give it to a first-level mage as promised, which was enough to prove the other party's extraordinary credibility and bearing. Because more often than not, the superiors do not keep the promises of their humble subordinates more normally.
"There is another sentence that Mistress Figaro wants me to convey to you." At this time, Depra said again.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Moriarty snapped the lid and stood up straight in response.
"'The seeds of the Ojo have been delivered to you, water it with the spring of red and blue, so that it will take root, sprout, and grow. However, until it actually blooms into a beautiful flower, it should be more advantageous to keep it secretive. Looking into Moriarty's eyes, Depra slowly repeated the Grand Arcanist's exact words.
"The seeds of the Olympic War... Red and blue springs... Root, sprout, grow... Keep it mysterious...", savoring every word Depra spoke, but Moriarty didn't have a clue for a moment. But one thing seems certain, the dark gold seed in the box should be the so-called "Aozhan seed".
"In addition, from today, Hockenheim will also officially recognize your professional rank of 'First Class Olympic Emissary'. In other words, Master Moriarty, you have become the only one of the three professions in the current academy. Seeing that Moriarty was still thinking about the dean's message that he had relayed, Depra immediately smiled and said, "As for the 'Olympic War Messenger', since there was no precedent in the past, Master Garo personally instructed that the academy benefits that this profession can enjoy will be implemented in accordance with the same level of alchemists." Congratulations again, Mage Moriarty. ββ¦,
A first-level mage, a first-level alchemist, and a first-level arcane war emissary, Moriarty completed the promotion certification of three legal professions in the same day, not to mention the newcomer, at least in the history of Hockenheim Academy. In the future, Moriarty, who has three positions, will be able to receive a fixed career allowance of at least 2,100 gold coins from the academy every month, and if such a salary amount is known to other first-level mages, I don't know how many people will be envious.
"Thank you very much for the love of the faculty and the dean." At this point, Moriarty has little to say except thanks.
With generous benefits and treasures of ancient ruins, Hockenheim really invested heavily in Moriarty. So from this moment on, Moriarty was also firmly tied to the big ship of "Hockenheim".
"Well, congratulations again, Mage Moriarty." Finally, having completed all the scheduled rituals, Depra patted Moriarty on the shoulder and smiled.
"Congratulations, Mage Moriarty!"
"Congratulations."
On the other side, Kahn and Schmidt also stepped forward at the same time.
"Thank you, Lord Karn. Thanks, Uncle Schmidt. Moriarty solemnly returned the salute to the two mid-level mages one by one. However, a lord and an uncle, just the difference in title can already see the difference between relatives and relatives. And after being promoted to the rank of official mage, there was no need for Moriarty to deliberately avoid the uncle-nephew relationship between himself and Schmidt.
"Morty, congratulations." At this time, Haiyna, who was left at the end, also came to Moriarty's side and said softly. Because there were still others present, the black-haired girl didn't show too much enthusiasm and intimacy, but the sweet affection in her eyes was enough to melt any man's heart.
"Thank you, Haiyna." However, Moriarty didn't seem to care as much as Haiyna, he directly took one of the girl's hands and never let go.
When the three surrounding mages saw this scene, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
That evening, at the Mage's Tower, Schmidt hosted a special celebration party for Moriarty. The attendees, with the exception of Moriarty as the main character, were all members of the studio, including Schmidt's father and daughter, and three alchemy assistants.
Facing Moriarty, who was wearing a bright silver "Alchemy Hand" in his left hand with a brand-new silver star inlaid on his robe, the three low-level mages expressed their heartfelt congratulations to each other on their successful promotion in a slightly respectful tone. Moreover, this was done without knowing that Moriarty was promoted to the first level of the Olympic War Envoy at the same time. Because Depra had already mentioned keeping a low profile and secrecy from the outside world when relaying the message of His Excellency the Grand Arcanist, the five people present at the time were silent about the matter of the Arcane Emissary. Otherwise, if the three alchemy assistants knew that Moriarty had actually been promoted to the three professions of the law system at the same time, their emotions would probably be much more agitated than they were now.
Smiling at the kindness and even a hint of respect from the three studio colleagues, Moriarty understood what was in their hearts. It may be envy, it may be jealousy, but more often than not, it is a gesture of favor and hope that in the future I can give them more help in alchemy.
This is the world of magic, cold, realistic, and exciting.
As for the complete transformation of status overnight, Moriarty accepted it with peace of mind and great calm.
After the lively celebration party, the three alchemy assistants retired one after another and returned to their respective studios. For them, tonight must be a sleepless night that they can't sleep.
When the outsiders were gone, Schmidt began to talk to Moriarty about business, and Heyyna sat by him. β¦,
Because it was very rare to drink half a glass of Vantina Xiangen white wine, the mid-level mage's face was a little ruddy: "Moriarty, since you have officially established yourself as a first-level alchemist, what are your plans next?" β
"Yes, there are two things that I have been thinking about for a long time, and I hope to get your guidance and consent, uncle." Moriarty nodded, picked up the white porcelain teapot on the coffee table, and poured a cup of "ivy" into the teacup in front of Schmidt.
"You say, I'll listen." Schmidt nodded in satisfaction and took a sip from his teacup. Immediately, the beautiful aroma of tea and the refreshing mint smell rushed straight to the end of the nose, and the spirit was immediately refreshed.
"First of all, because I have successfully advanced to the rank of alchemist, I plan to set up my own studio." Moriarty said calmly.
"Setting up a studio... Very well, I am very supportive of this idea. Hearing this, Schmidt quickly glanced at Moriarty, and then said loudly.
According to the traditional belief of the Bracada people, a man should go out on his own as an adult, strive to carve out a career of his own. Those who only know how to rely on the soft eggs who steal their lives under the protection of their parents or family are extremely discriminated against by the mainstream society. This is universally applicable to the human race, the goblins, and even the Naga and Titans.
Therefore, Moriarty's idea of breaking away from Schmidt's mage tower and going out to establish a Duli studio is the most commendable and supportable move in Schmidt's eyes.
Of course, it was imperative to establish a solitary alchemy studio in Moriarty's plan. After all, he has many secrets hidden in his body, such as the Crystal Book and the Fire Elemental Realm (Pseudo), and it would be too troublesome and dangerous to be under the internal control of someone else's mage tower for a long time.
"If you have a financial gap in the process of setting up the studio, I am willing to provide the necessary loan help." Schmidt then promised.
"Thank you very much for your understanding and support." Shun lì got Schmidt's consent, and Moriarty also felt relieved.
"And what about the second thing?" At this time, Schmidt took the initiative to ask.
"The second thing is about Haiyna," he said, and Moriarty turned his head to look at the dark-haired girl sitting beside him.
As if she had a premonition of what Moriarty was going to say next, Hayna's face turned red at once, and her head bowed deeply, unusually shy
For a whole day, the ranking of "Land of Heroes" on the recommended list of games was fixed at around ten. This is all the credit of the great support of all the book friends, and I don't know what to say except thank you and thank you. Anyway, work hard to code words, and hope to repay everyone with better words.
In addition, I would like to give special thanks to the two book lovers who are deliberately not gentle and Tomato Tianzun for their full scores. Thank you very much!
