The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

After Matthews and Charles separated, they went to the meeting place agreed with Scott. Soon, Scott also arrived as scheduled.

He has recognized Matthews' strength and praised his performance in the points battle: "Matthews, you performed very well in the fight!"

"Actually, I just won by luck." Matthews responded a little embarrassedly, "I didn't have time to pay attention to your fight. Did your fight go well?"

He felt that his two victories were meaningless. In the first match, he defeated the apprentice of illusion, because illusion magic was weak in the apprenticeship period; and in the second match, he won against the apprentice of elemental water, which was inexplicable because he did not find a way to break through the opponent's defense.

Scott shook his head helplessly: "I lost two games and won one. However, my game was not broadcast live, so you can't see it."

In the Eternal Night Cave, the points battle rarely arranged for the death side apprentices' battles to be broadcast live. The reason why Matthews's fight was broadcast live was entirely because he was the successor disciple of the academy's famous figure - the master of potions Fernando.

Matthews sighed: "To be honest, I don't like being broadcast live, but it's not what I want! There's nothing I can do about it."

Scott wasn't very good at communicating with others, so he got straight to the point: "Matthews, what do you want me to do?"

Matthews hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What aspect of the advanced knowledge of necromancy that you learned from Wizard Andre did you focus on?"

"The Necromancer Array and the Contract!" Scott answered frankly without much hesitation.

Matthews nodded. This was the first choice of most necromancers. He continued, "My mentor, Somlia, has agreed to make an exception and teach me some advanced necromancy knowledge. I am considering which direction to choose."

Scott seemed very excited after hearing this. He had just established contact with the other party, and the other party had already made such great progress and gains in witchcraft, which undoubtedly showed the huge potential he possessed.

He asked curiously, "What options did your mentor provide?" He knew clearly that the Department of Necromancer had many research branches, and the knowledge inherited by each wizard was different.

"Resurrection and control of the undead, necromancy arrays and contracts, and the cultivation and transformation of undead creatures." Matthews answered without hesitation.

Scott said enviously: "The inheritance of the wizard Somlia is more comprehensive than that of my teacher. Teacher Andre only provided two options at the time: resurrection and manipulation of the dead, and the dead spirit witch formation and contract."

Matthews was helpless: "What's the use of having more choices? I can only learn one of them in the end." The others were obviously irrelevant to him.

Scott was also silent. He sighed and said, "Yes, if you don't inherit the knowledge, you will never be qualified to share knowledge with the teacher."

Despite this, Matthews was very grateful for the generosity of his mentor Somlia. As an ordinary apprentice, he was naturally satisfied to be treated like this.

He no longer hesitated and directly asked Scott about the information about the close combat of the undead: "Scott, have you heard of the research direction of close combat of the undead?"

Scott was confused by this. He shook his head and said, "Melee combat of the undead? I have never heard of this research direction of the undead. It sounds more like something from the bloodline or shadow department."

Matthews frowned. Is it true that there is no such thing as close combat with the dead in the wizard world? He asked earnestly, "Scott, can you please ask your teacher for confirmation? This is very important to me!"

Scott nodded: "I will ask for you. But how do you plan to decide on the direction of your own undead?"

"I haven't decided yet, but I'm inclined to choose the necromancy array and the contract." Matthews had nothing to hide about this.

Scott expressed his support: "This is almost the first choice for the necromancy system. After mastering the necromancy array, we will have the opportunity to establish a contract with the creatures of the dead plane and perform undead summoning."

Matthews was also looking forward to it. Plane travel, plane roaming, and plane creature contracts made him very excited just thinking about these things, and he couldn't wait.

Then, Scott actually revealed a secret information to Matthews: In fact, as long as there are enough magic stones, you can buy advanced knowledge of resurrection and manipulation of the dead from the black market.

Because it is the most basic advanced knowledge of the necromancy system, it is basically mastered by all necromancers. However, since the wizard world believes that knowledge is priceless, it is not allowed to be sold publicly.

Matthews was shocked. It was the first time he heard the word "black market".

He was about to ask further questions, but at this moment, his identity badge suddenly flashed. It was a message from the Apprentice Hall: Elemental Apprentice Bugatti has challenged you to attend the morning session tomorrow, please be on time!

Matthews was helpless. Thinking of the need to select a target for tomorrow's duel, he reminded Scott not to forget to ask his teacher and left in a hurry.

Matthews did not want to give up his original intention just because he was challenged - to compare and experience different witchcraft.

Therefore, this time he chose a shadow apprentice with a lower score. Usually, shadow apprentices were rarely challenged by other witchcraft apprentices in a points battle, and more often they were the challengers.

This is because the shadow system is the strongest magic system in the Eternal Night Cave, and its apprentices are generally strong. Their strength lies not only in the powerful shadow magic, but also in their extremely strong physical attack explosiveness.

They can often launch powerful shadow fighting attacks immediately after breaking through the enemy's defenses with witchcraft, without having to spend time condensing magic power or activating magic items.

Despite this, Matthews was still determined to take on the challenge. He hoped that through this battle, he would be able to adapt to the Shadow Apprentice's fighting style so that he would not be flustered when suddenly encountering him in the future.

After completing the challenge registration, a reminder came from his identity badge: A challenge has been launched to the Shadow Apprentice Dex. The session will be held tomorrow afternoon. Please be on time!
