A week later, Moriarty's mage ascension ceremony took place in Hockenheim.

Because it was the relationship between a first-level mage and a first-level alchemist at the same time, everyone in the academy who had received the news in advance was very enthusiastic and concerned about this matter. Although the vast majority of outsiders don't know what kind of trials and hardships Moriarty endured in the final mage mission test, just the birth of a rare dual-law professional can already make people have infinite envy and association. What's more, this legal dual-professional is not yet twenty years old.

Presiding over the promotion ceremony on behalf of Hockenheim College was the Senior Mage and Dean of the Academy, Lord Depra. Such an arrangement can be said to be a very high-level courtesy for Moriarty. In addition, two mid-level mages, Schmidt and Kahn, were also witnesses to the results of the first-level mage promotion mission.

However, the low-level mages who were most interested in Moriarty's advancement were all shielded from the ceremony venue. It's just that this seems to be an unreasonable and unreasonable restriction, and the vast majority of low-level mages don't dare to complain in the slightest. Because the person who gave the order was none other than the high-ranking mage Depra.

The promotion ceremony was arranged to take place in the grand mage auditorium. With the exception of Moriarty, Depraschmidt, and Kahn, only Hayurna was allowed to participate together. And for this reason, Haiyuna was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days.

"Moriarty apprentice, please come forward." Dressed in a white high-ranking mage robe, Depura stood in the center of the auditorium and smiled at the Ascenders.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Moriarty stepped forward. After seven days of rest and treatment, his injuries have largely healed.

"First of all, congratulations, Moriarty."

"Thank you, Provost."

"Through the magic sand table, I witnessed your various performances in the mage quest test. To be honest, I was amazed and amazed. Because from every point of view, you have reached the limit of what a mage's apprentice can reach, and even beyond it. Especially in the final battle against the mutant demons, I can't even imagine any other mage apprentice who can achieve the ultimate victory like you. Looking at Moriati standing in front of him with a calm expression, Depra's eyes were full of appreciation. Although Moriarty's current professional level is far from worthy of mention compared to high-level mages, the extraordinary potential he reveals is enough to make Depura pay attention.

"It is a great honor for me to receive your compliment." Hearing the words of the High Mage, Moriarty bowed his head respectfully.

"Well, now let's get started. The first thing to do is the promotion certification of the first-level alchemist. Nodding, Depra slowly retracted his smile and said in a loud and stern voice: "Moriarty, since you have completed the alchemy examination conducted by Master Schmidt, here, I, Depra. Moltke, on behalf of the Hockenheim Academy, bestows you the title of First-Class Alchemist. In the meantime, you are welcome to officially join the Academy and become a registered alchemist in Hockenheim. ”

With that, Depra took a bright silver glove and a certified scroll from the ceremonial table beside him, and handed it to Moriarty very solemnly.

Moriarty bowed lightly and took it.

The first step is to open the Authentication Scroll, which magically seals Hockenheim's official certification of Moriarty as a first-class alchemist. On the lower edge of the scroll are the autographs of the three mages, Depra, Schmidt, and Karn. With such a certified scroll, Moriarty's credentials as an alchemist will be unquestionably recognized wherever he goes. Of course, the certificate has a more important role in confirming Moriarty's status as a registered alchemist in the Academy. For Moriarty, this is both a protection and a constraint. …,

Putting the scroll away, Moriarty turned her gaze back to the bright silver glove.

Unlike ordinary mages, alchemists do not have gold, silver stars, or noble gem flowers to detail their class level. In its place, there is a magic glove of special color, "Alchemy Hand". Among them, silver gloves represent the low rank, and gold represents the middle rank. For example, Schmidt, a fourth-level alchemist, wears a silver "alchemy hand" on his left hand. And if he can be promoted to a fifth-level mid-level alchemist, he will be eligible to wear the dazzling and abnormal golden gloves.

As for the high-level alchemist, his professional emblem is the incomparably honorable multicolored alchemy glove "Above the Rainbow". However, the chances of a great high-level alchemist being born are really low and surprisingly low, even rarer than the Grand Arcanist.

In addition to being a status symbol for a low-level alchemist, the bright silver glove that Moriarty received from Depra was also a rare piece of magical equipment.

Mana saving, a slight increase in spell effects, and a slight increase in elemental affinity, three useful perks are enough to make many non-alchemy mages salivate. Moreover, it seems that for the sake of protecting the life of the alchemist, the silver "Alchemy Hand" granted by Hockenheim also comes with an additional non-attribute first-level spell "Mana Shield" (the first-level earth spell "Body Protector Shield" in Hero3), which can be freely summoned by the wearer once a day.

Therefore, judging from the above four equipment abilities, the bright silver glove in Moriarty's hand can be said to be an out-and-out mid-level magic prop.

Gently caressing the surface of the glove, Moriarty only felt that the tentacles were cool and smooth. In terms of weight and feel alone, bright silver gloves are more like a perfect silk piece. After a brief glance, Moriarty put it on his left hand. I saw a soft silver glow flashing, and the gloves and palms were tightly fitted. Moriarty tried to squeeze his fist, but didn't feel any discomfort or a foreign body.

"Good." Seeing Moriarty put on his gloves, Depra also nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "As a registered alchemist of Hockenheim, the academy will provide you with a qualification allowance of one thousand gold coins per month. And as you move up the rank, the amount of the allowance will also increase. ”

"Thank you for the generosity of the Academy." Moriarty put down his left hand and smiled at Depra.

In Hockenheim, ordinary first-level mages can only receive a monthly subsidy of about one hundred gold coins, and this amount of money may not even be able to support a decent magic practice. As an alchemist, Moriarty's allowance "starting price" is already ten times that of other mages of the same level, which shows the academy's importance and preferential treatment for alchemists.

"In addition, the ability to purchase alchemy raw materials from the academy at a preferential price, the priority access to the advanced real room and special magic devices, and the access to higher-level magic materials, etc., are all natural rights that you can enjoy in Hockenheim." Glancing at Moriarty, the High Mage continued.

"It's my great luck." Moriarty bowed slightly, but then raised his head and asked, "So, as a registered alchemist of Hockenheim, what are my obligations?" ”

"Hehe, your question is very straightforward, but it is also very much in line with the principles of an alchemist." Depra was not disgusted by Moriarty's straightforwardness, but rather appreciated: "In Hockenheim, alchemists are always free and highly respected, and you don't have to worry about being forced to do anything. Unless there is a war or the castle lord personally orders it. Otherwise, the Academy will always guarantee full autonomy and exclusivity for registered alchemists. As for the obligations you mentioned, hehe, the academy will issue them to all alchemists in the form of quests every month, and you have every right to choose to accept or decline. Of course, there will be corresponding rewards behind each task, such as high-level spell scrolls, cherished magic materials, rare spell materials, etc., and the size of the reward is directly related to the difficulty of the task. ”…,

"I see." Moriarty nodded knowingly.

It seems that Hockenheim did take a fairly open approach to the internal alchemists, at least not dictatively what his members had to do or not do. And that's what makes Moriarty the most satisfying. At the very least, the initiative for most of the choices is in their own hands, which is especially important for Moriarty.

Of course, if you want to live a better life in the academy and get more magical resources, the alchemist will have to work hard to complete the various tasks assigned by the academy. This is called the wisher taking the bait, and it is another form of win-win. In the medium to long term, with a promising alchemist like Moriarty joining, Hockenheim will definitely gain more than he pays.

Both the Academy and Moriarty himself are well aware of this.

But from Moriarty's personal point of view, when his strength is still quite weak, joining an organization that meets his heart and being sheltered by it, and at the same time growing quickly with its strength, is the best and safest way to do things, and it is also the royal road for personal sustainable development.

And like some arrogant people who may be talented but pretentious, they think they can ignore the established rules and use their fists and kicks at will, unless they are really favored by the perverts of fate, it will not be long before they will be attacked and suppressed from all sides. The light ones are abolished, and the heavy ones are directly killed.

It was based on these considerations that Moriarty readily agreed to become a registered alchemist of Hockenheim. Unless he doesn't plan to study in Bracada, he will only bring disaster upon himself if he wanders outside all forces or organizations for a long time, and there will be no chance of growth
