After leaving Lille's barracks, Moriarty immediately returned to Hockenheim and directly consulted Schmidt about the "Magic Swordsman" plan.

"Yes, yes." Faced with Moriarty's question, the mid-level mage admitted without minus.

"And what do you think about the Academy, the City Lord's Mansion, and your uncle?" Moriarty looked at Schmidt and frowned slightly.

"Opinion?" The mid-level mage stopped what he was doing, glanced at the other party, and then nodded, "I see what you mean, Moriarty. Of course, your concerns cannot be said to be unjustified. But the only thing I can tell you is that this matter has been communicated among the high-level leaders of Blue Crystal City, so there is no taboo in it. As for my attitude, it doesn't matter at all. ”

"So, what is my mission?" Moriarty nodded and asked again.

"It doesn't matter what the task is." Schmidt smiled amusedly: "At least so far, you don't have to bear anything." As for Lille's invitation to be his mage advisor, it doesn't hurt to accept it. ”

"I see."

Although the ins and outs of the whole incident are still not very clear, at least it is certain that there is no need to fall into the vortex of power play for the time being, which makes Moriarty secretly relieved. When the foundation is shallow, the last thing you want to see is the ups and downs of the surrounding environment. Some people think that wealth is in danger, but they only focus on the word "wealth" and forget about the "risk". For Moriarty now, what is missing is not opportunity, but time to grow.

Now that Schmidt has confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the "Magic Swordsman", Moriarty has officially taken up the post of Lille. Sigroud's Mage Advisor. As an employer, Lille will pay the consultant a hundred gold dollars a year. Of course, no one will take this symbolic salary seriously.

Although the Mage Advisors were not an official member of the City Defense Army, because of the support and care of the military commander, the officers and men of the Lille squadron warmly welcomed and fully respected Moriarty's "limited participation". Naturally, the identity of an alchemist is a lot of points for Moriati.

Over the course of the next month, Moriarty began to gradually get in touch with and familiarize himself with all aspects of the squadron's work. At the same time, under Lille's construction, Moriarty will also actually participate in some simple practical tasks, which is also a good sharpening and training for the warrior profession.

Due to the need to coordinate his magical duties and the construction of the Earth Studio, Moriarty finally scheduled his first patrol for a night near the end of the year.

"Mage Moriarty, it's an honor to join you on tonight's patrol."

There were four squadrons in Lille's squadron, each with ten soldiers and one captain, and it was the turn of the Bonda squad to patrol this evening.

Although he had already learned in advance that the Mage Advisor would join temporarily, Wu Changbangda was still happy and apprehensive in his heart. Naturally, he could get along with the noble alchemist in close proximity, which was a rare opportunity for his personal development and progress. As for apprehension, after all, Moriarty has a relationship with Lille, and if he issues orders directly to him, Bonda, as the commander of the team, does not know whether to obey or oppose it. It's not that this commander is reluctant to have a little power in his hands, it's just that what soldiers are most afraid of is that Shangfeng bullshit doesn't understand and doesn't understand practice, which is a major matter related to the life and death of a team member in an emergency or real battle.

"Captain Bondav doesn't have to be polite. You are the commander in charge of this mission, and I will fully cooperate with you in your work. Looking at Bonda's slightly strange expression, Moriarty seemed to smile clearly.

"Haha, thank you for your support." Moriarty's statement really reassured Bonda, and Wu Chang was relieved. …,

Next, everyone began to make the final preparations before leaving.

Because it is the middle of winter and the temperature in the southern ice sheet is particularly cold, every soldier participating in the night patrol will wear a very heavy but extremely warm standard military uniform, wear a large hat with a frayed edge, and at the same time wear a leather cloak with excellent protection against wind and snow. But even so, once you encounter a sudden cold snap or a cold night with goose feather winds, it will still be so cold that people can hardly bear it.

However, compared to the bulky thermal suits of ordinary warriors like winter bears, Moriarty's outfit is undoubtedly much looser.

Shortly after he became an official mage, Haiyina gave him a thermostatically adjustable mage robe as a gift. Under the protection of the new mage's robes, Moriarty is basically free from cold or heat. As long as the outside temperature does not exceed the range of minus 30 degrees Celsius to minus 50 degrees, the temperature inside the mage robe can be kept at a suitable level of 25 degrees Celsius. Every day, the wearer only needs to inject a little magic into the robe to keep it intact. In addition, this mage robe also has a certain self-cleaning ability, which can keep it clean and comfortable for a long time.

Of course, enjoying the magic and convenience of magic is generally only a privilege and perk reserved for mage professionals. So when Bonda saw Moriarty standing in a cold winter night with a light snow on his face but dressed in thin clothes, he could only secretly envy him.

"Alright, let's go!" When all the team members were ready, Bonda nodded to Moriarty again, shouted, and then led ten soldiers and temporary member Moriarty to start tonight's patrol mission.

According to the division of the area within the city defense force, the main duty area of the Lille squadron is located in the northeast corner of the Blue Crystal City, which is also the trading area where Moriarty's newly acquired Olympus Garden is located. Therefore, compared to other city defense military departments, the Lille squadron can be said to occupy the most oily and watery block in Blue Crystal City. And from this, we can also vaguely see the huge energy of the big man behind it, General Cruyff.

However, the Bonda team, which had left the barracks, did not enter the trade zone directly, but began to make a huge circular motion along the edge of its own defense zone as usual, carefully inspecting the outer area.

Since it had been snowing intermittently for several days, a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the streets of the castle, making it difficult to walk. Of course, such road conditions have long been accustomed to for Bonda and other sergeants, and they do not constitute too much of a burden. But if ordinary people are walking on such a snowy road with one foot high and one foot low in the middle of the night in winter, I am afraid it will be a little difficult and laborious, and it is normal to accidentally fall a few heels.

Therefore, at first, under the leadership of Bonda, the speed of the entire team was much lower than its normal patrol speed, and the reason was naturally that the mage advisors accompanying the team might not be able to keep up or that the follow-up would be poor. Although he knew that Moriarty would come to the barracks every few days to learn swordsmanship from his commander, Lille, he didn't take it seriously. Like most of the rest of the squadron, a mage is a mage in Bonda's eyes, so how can he be a true warrior?

However, after two full hours of non-stop patrols, Moriarty still followed his side without any signs of tiredness, and the captain realized that maybe the other party really had some rare traits that ordinary mages did not have. At least in terms of physical quality and physical fitness, Moriarty has undoubtedly surpassed all the legal professions that Bonda has known. …,

"Captain Bonda, how long have you been in the City Defense Army?" As if seeing the other party's somewhat surprised look, Moriarty suddenly smiled and began to take the initiative to talk to Bonda.

"Ah, it's been almost ten years, hehe." Unexpectedly, the mage advisor, who had been silent all the way, would talk to him at once, Bonda couldn't help but be a little surprised, but immediately replied.

"Ten years... That's a veteran. ”

Moriarty had previously learned briefly about Bonda from Lille. He is a native of Aquamarine, in his thirties. Although his own qualifications are not very good, and can even be said to be mediocre, so he is only at the level of a third-level warrior so far; But he is serious and responsible, and he abides by military orders very much, so he is more competent as the commander of a ten-person team.

"It's nothing to be a soldier and eat military rations. In our squadron, Lille Boss is a real veteran. Squadron leader, he debuted with General Cruyff in his teens, and it has been more than twenty years since he simply calculated. Seeing that the mage praised herself, Bonda immediately shook her head and said humbly.

"Then you've been following Squadron Leader Lille since you joined the army, right?" Moriarty asked again.

"Yes, if it weren't for the boss's constant care over the years, I wouldn't be the current captain. If you want to say that among these squadrons of our Blue Crystal City Defense Army, it is only the Lille boss who is the most capable and thinks about the brothers below. When talking about his superiors, Bonda is always full of reverence, and it can be seen that he truly loves and admires each other.

"Yes." Hearing this, Moriarty couldn't help but nod.

On the Antagreqi continent, although the civilization systems of different races are different and vastly different, they basically follow the same model in the management and rule of sergeants.

In the equalization team, the officer is the absolute authority and ruler to his subordinates, like the patriarch of the referee, and as if he is a terrible tyrant. Soldiers are more afraid of their superiors, and they are afraid of being punished harshly by military discipline if they anger their superiors. Moreover, the vast majority of officers also believed that it was a good thing to be feared by their own soldiers, which could establish their prestige and make them dare not be lazy and slack.

In such a context, it is not easy for Lille to gain the respect and reliance of junior soldiers and captains, and it can even be said to be quite golden.

"Mage Moriarty, try this. It's not wine, but it's also energizing and warms the body. Just drink a little bit of it, though. After a moment's hesitation, Bonda took out a palm-sized tin pot from his bosom, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Moriarty with a smile.

Immediately, there seemed to be a hint of spicy but fiery flavor in the cold air

The first watch, wait until the second watch and then ask for votes, hehe!
