The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

With the staff in hand, Matthews couldn't wait to construct his own death-side sorcery.

However, to truly master and exert the power of death is the key to building this system. He felt as if he was driven by an irresistible force, constantly pursuing progress, with no way out.

In order to solve the problems and doubts encountered in previous experiments, Matthews first visited mentor Somlia.

With his profound knowledge and experience, Professor Somlia patiently answered every question for him and pointed out the direction for him to proceed with the experiment. This was like seeing the light of day for Matthews. Compared with his own exploration, the guidance of his mentor saved him a lot of precious research time.

Following his mentor's advice, Matthews went to the academy's witchcraft sales office and chose the most basic witchcraft model in the death side, which would be the key to his initial exposure to the power of death.

In addition, he decisively purchased ten basic witchcraft models that he liked. These models covered attack, defense, and assistance, including death stun, death lingering, death interference, etc. Since he was no longer short of magic stones, he seemed quite wealthy when he made the purchase, which also aroused the envy of those around him.

Back in his rented laboratory, Matthews was full of confidence. He studied the most basic witchcraft model of the death side in depth, learning its rune structure until he had a thorough understanding of it.

Then, Matthews took out an experimental creature as a test subject and carefully placed it on the laboratory table.

Matthews' thoughts were flowing over the experimental subjects, and he suddenly thought that using human corpses for experiments might bring more far-reaching research value, but why didn't Teacher Mulia use them in this way?

However, he put this question aside for the time being and decided to focus on the research at hand.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, gently placed his hand on the experimental subject, and began to inject magic power. This time, the existence of the power of death became extremely clear to him. However, the real challenge was how to deeply understand this power.

Following the instructions of mentor Somlia, Matthews concentrated on feeling the subtle flow of the power of death. He combined the runes of the witchcraft model, used his mental power to control the magic power to run along the corresponding route, and tried to understand the mystery of the transformation of magic power and the power of death.

The mentor's guidance was indeed effective, and Matthews gradually understood the process of the transformation of magic power into the power of death. He did not rashly try to analyze the principle, because as an apprentice, the most important thing was to learn how to use and understand this power first.

The exploration of the principle would be left until he became a formal wizard. After all, even the experienced Somlia mentor had not fully revealed all the secrets behind this power.

In fact, it was mainly because Matthews was too busy. Otherwise, he really wanted to continue his research. Even if he could not understand the principle, any superficial discovery would be a major success. You know, every experiment and thinking is valuable. Even those attempts that seem insignificant at first may bring unexpected insights at some point in the future.

With the success of the experiment, Matthews was able to enter the realm of death magic, which made him extremely excited and refreshed his mental outlook. He wanted to immediately engrave the newly learned magic model on his staff, but he soon realized that he did not yet have this skill.

However, this did not dampen Matthews' enthusiasm, on the contrary, he saw it as an opportunity to learn new skills. He decided to use this time to systematically learn the knowledge of staff witchcraft engraving in order to improve his witchcraft practice.

Matthews decided to go to the library to look for books on staff construction. Although he longed for someone to teach him this skill directly, it seemed that no apprentice he knew had such knowledge.

He clearly realized how precious and expensive a staff was. For most low-level apprentices, owning a staff of their own was almost an impossible dream. The price of a good staff would be at least hundreds of magic stones, which was simply an astronomical figure that was out of reach for them.

If it weren't for the generosity of Teacher Fernando, he probably wouldn't have been able to own his own staff before becoming a third-level apprentice. Therefore, Matthews was full of gratitude to his teacher.

This shows the importance of teachers in the growth of wizards. For this reason, there is a saying in the wizarding world: "A good teacher is half the success!"

Matthews heard that in the wizarding world there were even some mentors who used their apprentices as experimental subjects. Compared to them, even the poor mentor Somlia was considered a rare good teacher.

On the way to the library, Matthews unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance - wasn't that the law enforcement captain Joseph, whom he had dealt with before?

At this moment, Joseph looked very high-spirited, and was surrounded by a group of younger brothers who flattered him, nodded and fawned on him, and praised him endlessly.

Matthews stood there, witnessing the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but reflect on himself. He realized that he had been too focused on learning and experiments, and had lost touch with the real world. He still remembered that he had been in an extremely embarrassing situation because of the "letter" incident before, which made him realize that he couldn't go on like this.

Matthews took a deep breath and decided to change the status quo. He walked towards Joseph with a friendly smile on his face.

"Hey, Captain Joseph, long time no see!" Matthews greeted enthusiastically.

Joseph turned around when he heard the voice and was surprised to see Matthews. He looked at him with mixed emotions. He knew Matthews was not an ordinary person, but the speed of his rise was still hard for him to accept.

For a moment, Joseph's face showed an expression of emotion, and he seemed to have forgotten how to respond to Matthews' greeting.

Seeing this, Matthews scratched his head gently, smiled and teased: "Why? Has Captain Joseph forgotten who I am?"

Joseph came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and then said apologetically: "Matthews, your rapid progress is really admirable. I am indeed a little surprised. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Matthews waved his hand and said modestly, "No, no, the captain is too kind. The reason why I am where I am today, in addition to my own efforts, is also inseparable from the support and financial support of the captain."

Joseph's expression suddenly changed, as if he remembered some unpleasant past events. His tone became stiff, and he said, "You actually have time to hang around. If I were you, I wouldn't waste any time!" It sounded like he was accusing Matthews of not being diligent enough.

Matthews was left speechless by this sudden accusation, muttering to himself: How can this guy be so unreasonable? I finally got a chance to take a break, but he was accused of wasting time!

Joseph seemed to realize that his words were too sharp, and he hurried to clarify his position: "What I mean is that you should cherish your time more, work harder, and not let down a good teacher."

Matthews chuckled and replied, "I've been immersed in experiments all day, and I'm exhausted both physically and mentally. It's necessary to come out and relax occasionally. By the way, Joseph, do you know where I can learn the method of staff engraving?"

Joseph's heart was beating fast, and he was a little crazy when he saw Matthews' relaxed look. He had gone through many years of hardship to get a staff of his own, but the black-haired boy in front of him seemed to have it so easily.

Despite his mixed feelings, Joseph answered seriously: "If you want to save magic stones, you can go to the library to borrow relevant books to learn by yourself. But for you, just go directly to Old Ward Magic Shop. There, you can learn everything you want!"

Matthews' eyes lit up. He didn't know that magic shops provided such services before. This made him more convinced of how important it is to communicate with people, otherwise he might take many unnecessary detours.

"Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free!" Matthews said enthusiastically, then turned and left quickly.

Joseph watched Matthews's back as he walked away, feeling speechless. He shook his head, thinking that this guy was still as shameless as ever.

The younger brother next to him looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Captain, who is this? He seems a bit arrogant."

Joseph glanced at the younger brother beside him, with a sneer on his face: "Do you think everyone is as naive as you? That's called confidence, not arrogance."

In Joseph's eyes, Matthews has far surpassed the level of ordinary apprentices like them. He no longer needs to use arrogance to show himself. The calm confidence and casual temperament he shows are the embodiment of his true inner strength.
