The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews stood in front of the points wall, searching carefully for his challenge target.

At this time, Charles made a suggestion: "Matthews, you have already joined the ranks of the senior apprentices. I think you can continue to challenge stronger illusion opponents. With the clean and neat fighting style you have shown before, it will definitely not be a problem to take a higher position!"

However, Matthews shook his head. He was not satisfied with continuously challenging opponents of the same magic direction, but was eager to see the effects and power of magic from different magic branches. What he pursued was not just a higher score.

He explained: "I value the fun of the battle more, so this time I want to try an apprentice on the elemental side."

Upon hearing this, Finistin immediately objected: "Elemental apprentices are very difficult to deal with. They usually have both offensive and defensive capabilities. If you want to try different opponents, I think it would be better to choose Marionette apprentices. They are relatively easier to deal with."

Matthews shook his head indifferently: "It doesn't matter. The apprentices of the Secret Doll Department must have been challenged by other apprentices a long time ago, and there is no way to choose a suitable position. Besides, I think challenging different types of opponents can better improve my strength and adaptability."

He was telling the truth. For those apprentices who only focused on the points ranking, the relatively weak witchcraft direction naturally became the object of their challenge.

Matthews quickly selected Tina, the water witch apprentice of the elemental side, as his next opponent and completed the registration at the registration office. After saying goodbye to Finistine and Charles, he went to the laboratory of mentor Somlia.

Finistine watched Matthews go away, her heart full of doubts. As the daughter of the director of the Eternal Night Cave, she has always attracted much attention, but Matthews seemed to keep his distance from her.

She decided to ask Charles about Matthews' past, but Charles' answer made her laugh and cry. Charles praised Matthews with words, describing him as the first person in the Lost Land, a master of close combat, an undefeated myth and a legend in the fighting world.

Although Finistine knew that these descriptions were mostly exaggerated, she also realized that Matthews must have extraordinary close combat ability. She became more and more interested in Matthews and looked forward to a fierce battle between him and the bloodline apprentice.

Matthews waited patiently in his mentor Somria's laboratory. He sat on a bench, thinking about the possibility of necromancy.

As an ancient and diverse witchcraft system in the witch world, the necromancy system must have many different research directions. If he could think of this necromancy research direction, there was no reason why his predecessors couldn't think of it.

Matthews believed that throughout the history of the wizarding world, there must have been many like-minded wizards who had pursued similar fighting methods, and he was by no means an isolated case.

Somlia finished the work at hand and walked to sit next to Matthews. Matthews came back to his senses from his thoughts and bowed to his mentor.

"Which knowledge do you choose?" asked Somlia, who thought Matthews was here to receive the knowledge of the dead that he had promised yesterday.

However, Matthews shook his head and asked respectfully, "Teacher, does the Department of Necromancer have a knowledge system for close combat?"

Somlia frowned upon hearing this. He had not expected Matthews to ask such an incredible question. In his opinion, necromancers were more focused on experimental research and combat wisdom, rather than fighting like wild beasts. Only those bloodline wizards without brains would have such a pursuit.

"Matthews, you may have made a misunderstanding. Necromancers focus more on experimental research and combat wisdom rather than fighting like wild beasts."

In his opinion, whether it is the dead spirit, dead soul or death curse, he will try to stay behind the scenes and use the dead spirit, soul or more abstract curse to deal with the enemy. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not personally fight, let alone close combat. For example, he himself prefers to watch his opponent being ravaged to death by his little cutie.

Matthews asked unwillingly, "Teacher, in the long history of the wizarding world, has there never been a necromancer who has tried to study this aspect of witchcraft?"

The face of the wizard Somlia was already somewhat gloomy, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Matthews' question. He responded sternly: "Matthews, I can tell you clearly that the necromancy system will never have a close combat witchcraft system. That is a serious blasphemy to the death wizards. We focus on the control of the dead and souls, not brutal combat."

His words revealed his disdain for the bloodline wizards. Although he did not say it directly, everyone could hear the implication of his words.

Matthews was frightened by his tutor's harsh attitude and dared not ask any further questions. He knew very well that if he continued the topic, his tutor would be furious.

However, he could not suppress his love for close combat deep in his heart. The ancient martial arts of the other world, the close combat methods of the knights, and the close combat of the bloodline side, all these fighting methods deeply attracted him.

The Somlia wizard noticed that Matthews' mind seemed to be still entangled in the problem of close combat. He sighed deeply and said earnestly: "Matthews, did you watch the bloodline battle today?"

Matthews no longer hesitated and responded frankly: "Yes, mentor. The fighting style of the bloodline apprentices is really shocking. Their bravery and skills make my blood boil." His eyes flashed with desire and enthusiasm for close combat, as if he was ready to throw himself into it at any time.

The Somlia wizard said slowly: "The battle on the blood side is indeed impressive, but you only saw their close combat and did not appreciate the beauty of the battle on the death side. Don't you think that as wizards, watching the battle can better reflect our extraordinary wisdom than participating in it personally?"

After hearing this, Matthews could not agree with it completely, but he could not refute it. Close combat was indeed somewhat inconsistent with the mysterious temperament and wisdom of wizards. However, he believed that the wizards on the Death Side were somewhat psychologically distorted, and they were just pursuing the fun of close combat.

He decided not to discuss this topic with his mentor anymore, and thought of going to Scott to discuss it, which might yield some unexpected results.

Matthews said goodbye to Master Somlia respectfully: "Master, I understand what you mean. Regarding the choice of necromancy knowledge, I need to think about it carefully."

Somlia nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Matthews was a smart child who would make a wise choice. The path of necromancy knowledge was long and difficult, and must be carefully considered.

After saying goodbye to mentor Somlia, Matthews immediately contacted Scott and agreed on a meeting place for tomorrow afternoon.
