The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Before deciding to visit Wizard Andre, Matthews understood the importance of fully understanding the other party's situation, and acting rashly would only lead to unfavorable results. Therefore, he decided to seek help from the well-informed Joseph to obtain detailed information about Wizard Andre.

Matthews quickly sent a message to Joseph: Captain Joseph, are you in the Law Enforcement Department? I've sent you a dose of medicine.

Joseph was on duty at the Law Enforcement Department at the time. When he saw the message, he was confused. He wondered why this scoundrel was so generous today. However, he still replied to Matthews and invited him to meet at the Law Enforcement Department.

Not long after, Matthews came to the Law Enforcement Department. He readily took out a few basic potions and handed them to Joseph.

Joseph took the potions and examined them carefully, and found that they were of high quality. At present, the price of basic potions has soared, so he was very puzzled that Matthews could be so generous to give him these potions.

"Tell me, what do you need my help with?" Joseph asked directly. He knew that this boy would not give him potion for no reason.

"Captain Joseph, you are really amazing." Matthews chuckled and said nonchalantly, "I do have something to ask of you. Have you heard of Wizard Andre?"

Joseph frowned. "I only know that he is a necromancer, but I don't know much about his details. Why are you suddenly interested in him?"

Matthews gently stroked his chin, a hint of mystery flashing in his eyes: "I'm just curious. After all, we are all dead spirits. Can you find someone who knows this wizard Andre in particular?"

Joseph said hesitantly, "I do know a disciple of Wizard Andre, but he is a loner and doesn't like to communicate with others."

Matthews' eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Then can you help me connect?"

Seeing Matthews' anxious eyes, Joseph had a feeling that he had bad intentions: "What do you want to do? You'd better tell me clearly, so that I can help you."

Matthews was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth. In the end, he decided to tell Joseph the truth: "I actually want to try to see if I can get advanced knowledge of the necromancy from Wizard Andre."

Hearing this, Joseph stood up in shock. He stared at Matthews with wide eyes, and his tone revealed an incredible shock: "Are you sure you are not kidding? This is not a joke!"

Matthews had a bitter smile on his face, and he explained helplessly: "I am at my wit's end. Teacher Somlia has made it clear that he will not teach me advanced knowledge of the necromancy system. So, I can only find another way. But please rest assured that I will obtain it through legitimate means and will never take crooked paths."

After hearing this, Joseph's shock subsided a little, but his face was still full of doubts: "Logically speaking, the Somlia wizard should not refuse to impart advanced knowledge to you."

Matthews sighed, a trace of reluctance and helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Indeed, but he can only teach me some specific knowledge points. And what I really want is to be able to master complete and systematic knowledge of the dead."

Joseph was stunned when he heard this. He knew very well that it was impossible for ordinary apprentices to obtain all the knowledge. Even formal disciples could hardly do it. Only inheritance disciples were qualified to enjoy such treatment.

Joseph shook his head and looked at Matthews helplessly: "Matthews, you really have some whimsical ideas."

He even felt that the other party was a little self-inflated, thinking that he could do anything just by becoming Master Fernando's disciple?

Matthews explained: "I just wanted to see if this is possible. After all, only systematic knowledge can make learning and experiments more efficient."

Joseph was silent for a while, then said: "I can help you contact Scott, the disciple of Wizard Andre, but I can't guarantee that he will be willing to see you." Then he sent a message to Scott.

Matthews nodded to show his understanding: "It's okay, just do your best."

Matthews knew very well that equal exchange was the basic rule of the wizarding world. If he tried to obtain knowledge through improper means, it would not only bring great trouble to himself, but also his teacher Fernando would be greatly questioned. Therefore, he had to act cautiously and ensure that everything was done within the scope of the rules.

Not long after, Joseph received a reply. He told Matthews: "I told Scott that there are some cheap basic potions here, so he agreed to come. So you should know what to do. I can only help you up to this point."

Matthews was very grateful for this: "Thank you, Joseph! I will leave the rest to you!"

Scott's face was pale and his expression was cold, making people feel that it was difficult to approach him.

Joseph gave the two men a brief introduction, emphasizing that Matthews was a disciple of Master Fernando, and then he left the room, leaving the space to the two men.

Matthews was the first to break the silence: “Hello, Scott, nice to meet you!

However, Scott's eyes showed vigilance, as if he was on guard against something. "We are all smart people, just tell us what's going on." His voice was cold and firm.

Matthews knew that if he really stated his purpose directly, it would inevitably arouse great vigilance and rejection, so he had to save the country in a roundabout way.

"In fact, I am also a practitioner of necromancy. But unfortunately, I am destined to not be able to obtain the true necromancy inheritance. Therefore, I am eager to exchange ideas and share experiences with people like you, and even discuss some advanced knowledge of the necromancy."

Scott was slightly stunned. Wizards rarely exchange knowledge and experience with each other, especially those who study dark witchcraft.

"We are not familiar with each other and there is no basis for communication at all." Scott bluntly rejected Matthews' proposal.

However, Matthews was not discouraged and continued, "When I was conducting necromancy experiments, I often felt extremely difficult due to my lack of advanced knowledge of necromancy. I spent a lot of time and energy but might not get the right results. I believe you must have had the same feeling."

Scott remained silent, because this was the inevitable dilemma faced by all apprentices without inheritance. They had to grope forward on their own, and could only endure the confusion and helplessness in silence.

"So what? We have no power to change this and can only move forward with difficulty." Scott seemed extremely pessimistic.

Matthews breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally have a chat with the other party. This was undoubtedly what he wanted.

He continued, "After all, the power of one person is limited. You must have heard of the concept of a school, right? They are a group of like-minded wizards who communicate with each other to increase knowledge and make progress together. So, why don't we follow the example of the ancients?"

Scott was shocked by Matthews' words. He began to re-examine the proposal and felt as if he had been infected by the other party's madness. He began to think about the possibility of communicating with the other party.

He asked tentatively: "How far have your necromancy experiments progressed?"

Matthews was very excited by Scott's change of attitude. His proposal had successfully aroused Scott's interest.

Matthews was very frank: "My experiment is still in its early stages, mainly because of the lack of systematic advanced knowledge guidance. This is also the reason why I hope to increase exchanges with fellow practitioners. I firmly believe that through exchanges, our necromancy horizons will be broadened."

Scott nodded slightly to show his understanding. He knew the dilemma Matthews was facing, because he was in the same situation. "So, how much help can your mentor provide you?"

Matthews shook his head helplessly. "My mentor is only willing to impart limited advanced knowledge. After all, I am not even a formal disciple. This is why I am eager to work hand in hand with you."

Scott frowned. His situation was much better than Matthews'. As a formal disciple of Wizard Andre, although he was not taken seriously, he was still better than an ordinary apprentice.

"It seems that the knowledge we possess is not completely equal, and this basis of communication does not conform to the rules of the wizarding world." Scott expressed his concerns.

Matthews didn't care. He just said firmly, "First of all, the fact that I can sit with you now is enough to prove my strength. Secondly, I have far more resources than you, which is also the key to restricting the progress of wizards. Therefore, I don't think there is any gap between you and me, because I can give you some support in this regard. For example, I can sell you potions at a preferential price!"

Scott fell silent. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation. He was seriously short of resources. He had no skills to earn magic stones. He could only earn magic stones through apprentice tasks.
