The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Not long after Matthews left, Anne hurried to the laboratory. She ran to Somlia excitedly and shouted excitedly, "Dad, there is a super exciting news. Do you want to hear it?"

Somlia felt helpless as she looked at her daughter who was always a source of worry. Although she had the learning environment and resources that other apprentices dreamed of, she did not seem to cherish them and often wandered around and caused trouble.

Especially in the study of death witchcraft, her performance could be described as a mess, and she needed Somlia to personally guide her over and over again every time.

At this moment, Somlia was filled with anger, and he sternly warned: "Annie, if you continue to be idle all day and make no effort to make progress, I will have to take some other measures. When the time comes, don't blame me..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw tears flashing in Anne's eyes, and crystal tears were rolling in her eye sockets.

Seeing this, Somlia's anger instantly dissipated, and he said gently: "Okay, tell me your so-called explosive news!"

Annie immediately changed from sadness to excitement: "Master Pharmacist Fernando finally accepted a formal disciple!"

Somlia looked at his daughter's expression changing rapidly, feeling helpless. But he was soon drawn to this "big news".

He couldn't help but sigh: "In this case, another extraordinary genius will emerge in this world."

However, Anne always seemed to feel that her father could not really understand her. What she cared about was not who had this or that talent, but who was lucky enough to be favored by Master Fernando.

At this moment, the identity badge of the wizard Somlia suddenly emitted a faint light, which flashed several times before stopping. This situation meant that an important person in the academy contacted him.

He hurriedly used his mental power to investigate, and then said to Annie: "I have something urgent to deal with now, you'd better put in some effort! Stop running around." After that, he hurriedly left the laboratory.

Wizard Somlia walked into the dean's reception room deep in the Eternal Night Cave, knocked on the door and walked in.

In the spacious and bright reception room, Dean Francis and the famous pharmacist Fernando were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The arrival of the Somlia wizard interrupted their pleasant conversation. The two of them stopped talking at the same time, turned their eyes to him, and began to look him up and down carefully.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of these two senior masters with extraordinary strength and high status, the wizard Somlia felt unprecedented pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.

After all, neither the powerful Dean Francis nor the renowned potion master Fernando was something that a junior wizard like him could reach.

Dean Francis said with a smile: "Somlia, come and sit down, we have been waiting for you!"

Hearing this, Somlia was very surprised. He was usually busy with laboratory work and knew very little about the outside world. He didn't know what had happened that made these two big men pay so much attention to him and wait for his arrival.

Looking at the puzzled expression on the face of the wizard Somlia, Francis did not get straight to the point. Instead, he asked about the progress of Somlia's recent experiments with concern.

Then, he smiled and asked in a somewhat joking tone: "Somlia, I heard that you don't seem to have accepted many apprentices in recent years?"

Somlia bowed quickly and replied respectfully, "Master Dean, the experiment is at a critical juncture right now, and I really don't have the extra energy to teach the apprentice. I hope you will forgive me!"

Francis nodded to show his understanding and continued to ask: "So, how many apprentices do you have at the moment?"

Somlia reported truthfully: “There are only two, one is my daughter, and the other is a new apprentice who just joined this year.

The dean frowned and asked, "How is the performance of the new apprentice?"

Somlia touched his head awkwardly and replied, "It's very unsatisfactory. His basic knowledge is very weak and his progress is very slow. If he continues like this, if there is no major breakthrough or change, I'm afraid he won't be able to be promoted to the third-level apprentice level within two years!"

"Is it really that bad?" Francis showed a surprised expression. It was too unbelievable. The evaluations of the two wizards were so different.

Somlia quickly affirmed, "I am not lying, Dean. That apprentice came from a distant lost land and had never been exposed to wizard knowledge before. His foundation is extremely weak and he is seriously lacking in learning resources. Therefore, it would be very difficult for him to achieve success on the side of death."

At this point, Fernando could no longer bear it and burst into laughter. He obviously found it ridiculous that Somlia belittled his favorite student.

Fernando thought that Matthews was a perfect genius, so how could there be any problems? Therefore, he thought that the problem must be with Somlia's teaching method. After all, his disciples had mentioned some of his inappropriateness before.

The situation of this young apprentice aroused Francis' curiosity. He wanted to know why the two wizards had such different opinions about him.

Francis sensed Fernando's dissatisfaction and tried to guide Somlia: "Is it because you were busy with the experiment and ignored the specialness of him?"

However, Somlia did not seem to notice the change in the two seniors' emotions, and still insisted, "That is absolutely not the case! Over the past six months or so, I have been closely observing this apprentice. Unfortunately, his knowledge of the death side remains superficial, and he lacks the ability to delve deeper and gain insight into the essence."

Fernando could no longer tolerate Somlia's disparagement of his disciple. He sneered, "Somlia, are you planning to give up on him?"

Somlia spread his hands helplessly: "I do have this idea. The knowledge on the death side is too profound, and I am worried that his talent will be difficult to master. Therefore, I have suggested that he turn to other research fields that are more suitable or easier to learn."

Fernando almost laughed when he heard this: "Oh? So you think my pharmacy is easy to learn?"

Somlia quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, that's not the case, Master, you misunderstood. I just think that the knowledge on the side of death is too profound. Without sufficient talent and understanding, it is almost impossible to achieve anything." Obviously, he has not yet realized the real meaning behind Fernando's words.

Fernando interrupted him impatiently: "Great! In that case, I will officially announce that I have decided to accept this apprentice as my successor!"

Somlia looked at Master Fernando in astonishment, and was speechless for a moment, stammering: "Master... you?"

Fernando's powerful mental strength was like a heavy mountain, pressing down on Somlia so hard that she could hardly breathe.

Dean Francis saw this and stepped out to ease the atmosphere: "Master, don't be angry. After all, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Matthews has shown extraordinary talent and ability in pharmacy, but when it comes to knowledge on the side of death, he may not be so perfect."

Hearing Francis' words, Fernando couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He felt that what Francis said made sense, and he had indeed taken it for granted before.
