The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

The dean's words made Somlia involuntarily think of the "explosive news" that Anne told him before they left. He began to wonder in his heart: Is all this true?

However, no matter what, he could not connect that "extraordinary genius" with his ordinary and even extremely dull apprentice Matthews.

After all, Matthews's performance had been mediocre for a long time, and even made Somlia doubt whether he had the potential to become a wizard. Whenever Matthews raised some "difficult questions", Somlia would feel extremely disappointed and shook his head and sighed.

However, now facing the unwavering attitude and affirmative words of Master Fernando, Somlia began to question whether his evaluation of Matthews was too biased. Perhaps Matthews had hidden talents and potential in some areas that he had not discovered?

Such thoughts made Somlia feel complicated. He was happy that Matthews was recognized by the master of pharmacy, but at the same time he felt guilty and regretful for not being able to discover and cultivate the apprentice's potential in time.

At the same time, Somlia was full of doubts. He could not believe that an apprentice who had joined only half a year ago could prepare a potion. Could it be that the profound and mysterious knowledge of pharmacology was really so simple and easy to understand? This thought kept circling in his mind, making him confused.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, I'm not questioning you, but can Matthews really prepare the potion?"

Fernando had calmed down from his initial excitement. He shook his head slightly and responded firmly, "Although Matthews has not yet prepared a complete potion, his talent in pharmacy is unquestionable."

Hearing this, not only Somlia was confused, but even Francis standing beside him couldn't understand it. How could the master be so sure that Matthews, an apprentice who hadn't even prepared a potion, was the so-called potion genius?

Could it be that the young apprentice really had some special ability, or was so good at flattering that he hit the master's sore spot? And thus captured the master's heart? Thinking of this, the two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Francis couldn't help but raise his concerns: "Master, shouldn't you think about this matter carefully? After all, you have been waiting for so many years, why rush it?"

However, Fernando was extremely determined and did not waver. He loudly declared:

"I have completed the formal filing at the academy and sent invitations to my friends and some wizards with whom I have close ties, inviting them to attend the inheritance ceremony that I will hold at the end of next month. As for other wizard organizations, please ask the dean to convey them on my behalf."

Faced with such a determined Fernando, Francis felt speechless. Things had developed to this point and it could be said that the dust had settled.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, facing such a determined Fernando, he could only nod and agree helplessly. At the same time, Francis silently prayed that the apprentice would live up to the master's expectations and trust.

Somlia on the side was speechless at this time and had no idea what to say!

Fernando continued, "Wizard Somlia, I asked you to come here. In addition to informing you of this news, I also hope that you can continue to teach Matthews about the knowledge of the death side seriously. He is very obsessed with your field."

Francis was completely speechless and couldn't help but interrupt: "Master, please think twice! I accepted him as a disciple before he even prepared the potion. But now you allow him to learn the death side. Isn't this a bit too much?"

Somlia also felt incredible, but he did not refute it!

Fernando didn't care: "After all, pharmacists also need to protect themselves. We are not flowers in a greenhouse. Wizard Somlia, what do you think?"

Since Matthews has become Somlia's apprentice and he does not intend to give up his exploration of the death side, he can only ask Somlia to take more care of it.

Somlia hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Fernando's request. He began to think that maybe Matthews really had something extraordinary, and he might not have fully realized his potential before.

After leaving the dean's reception room, Somlia decided to talk to Matthews. However, he realized at this time that he had not left a spiritual mark on Matthews.

He had no choice but to return to the laboratory. Seeing Anne working seriously on the experiment, he felt a little relieved.

He stood quietly in a daze not far away, and began to reflect that he might never really understand his apprentice Matthews.

It was not until Annie woke him up that the wizard Somlia came back to his senses. Annie asked softly, "Father, what's wrong with you? You are actually in a daze!" In her memory, her father was always busy and had never been absent-minded like today.

The Somlia wizard asked curiously: "Annie, what kind of person do you think Matthews is?"

Anne didn't know why her father suddenly paid attention to this junior fellow student, but she answered honestly: "He is a lot like you, focusing on research, not very talkative, always busy, coming and going in a hurry."

Somlia frowned and asked, "Anything else?"

Anne noticed that her father was unusual today, and asked cautiously: "Dad, what happened? Did Matthews make you angry?"

Somlia shook her head, looking a little frustrated: "Do you think Matthews has the potential to become a pharmacist?"

Anne was confused by her father's sudden question: "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Somlia sighed: "Didn't you say that Master Fernando accepted a formal disciple? That disciple is Matthews." He actually told Annie the news directly.

Anne was stunned at first, then burst into great joy. She excitedly kissed Somlia on the cheek and quickly ran out of the laboratory.

Somlia was left alone there, smiling bitterly and shaking her head.
