The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

The fierce battle between Garlon and Matthews had lasted for more than half an hour, without any respite. For them, who were still mortals, such a high-intensity battle was close to the limit of their physical strength.

Garlon's shadow training focuses on the ultimate use of explosive power, pursuing the effect of one-hit kill. Therefore, without the blessing of shadow power, his endurance is also not long-lasting.

In contrast, Matthews' endurance was even worse. In the past two years, he had not done any form of physical training, which resulted in his endurance not only not increasing, but actually decreasing. If it weren't for his excellent close combat skills, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Francis saw this and proposed to stop the fight: "Let's stop here. Their energy has been almost exhausted."

Tres was puzzled by this: "That shouldn't be the case. The endurance of the bloodline side should be amazing."

Fernando secretly rejoiced: "Maybe he is not from the bloodline."

Tres immediately retorted: "Absolutely impossible! To be able to fight Garlon in close combat without losing, there must be no other way except the bloodline side?"

Fernando seemed to be getting more excited: "Let's make a bet. I bet that this apprentice is not from the bloodline. What do you think?"

Tres was extremely determined, as if he had already made up his mind: "Let's bet! How much do you want to bet, Master?"

Fernando said casually: "You know, I have too many magic stones to spend. How about a bet of 100,000 magic stones?"

Francis was speechless. The master was too cruel. You know, he was the master's accomplice. He had been waiting for the joke and had deliberately kept silent. Who knew that he would be on the pirate ship now?

He felt he needed to remind Tres: "I think the stakes are a bit high, just a small bet for fun."

However, Tres was very firm in his judgment. Although he did not have 100,000 magic stones, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fleece the master of medicine. "100,000 magic stones is 100,000 magic stones. I'll take the bet!"

Fernando looked at Tres's expression and said with a smile: "Tres, I don't look down on you, but do you really have 100,000 magic stones?"

Tres responded without showing any weakness: "Don't worry, even if there is no magic stone, I can use other things to counter it."

Fernando nodded: "To be honest, I have plenty of magic stones. It will be useless even if I win your magic stones."

After hearing this, the other two rolled their eyes. However, they certainly knew that the financial resources of the Master of Pharmacy were beyond their imagination.

They are all smart people. Tres obviously heard the master's hidden meaning, "Then what do you want, Master?"

Fernando chuckled and said, "It's the secret medicine inherited from the Shadow Department."

Hearing this condition, Tres's expression immediately changed: "Master, you are going too far!"

Fernando waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I don't want the secret recipe, I just want the finished secret medicine. I want to give it to my disciples."

So that's how it is. There's nothing wrong with the finished secret medicine. Tres no longer hesitated, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Francis secretly groaned in his heart. He had decided that he must say something good about Tres later. After all, the secret medicine worth one hundred thousand magic stones was not a small amount.

His mental pressure instantly descended, covering the entire battlefield, causing Garlon and Matthews to kneel to the ground involuntarily. Then, a magical hand took the two of them in.

In the blink of an eye, the scene suddenly changed, and Matthews found himself in a spacious and bright reception hall. His eyes first fell on the seat not far in front of him, and he saw his teacher Fernando sitting there, looking calm.

Next to the teacher, there were two other people he was not familiar with. Although he did not know the identities of these two people, they were able to sit on an equal footing with the teacher, so it was obvious that they were both official wizards with high status in the academy.

Matthews did not dare to neglect it. He immediately bowed to them one by one and shouted respectfully to Fernando: "Teacher!"

At the same time, he also noticed that Garlon was performing the disciple ceremony to another wizard.

Tres had realized that he had been fooled by Fernando, and he was shocked and angry. However, he could not find any excuse to regret. One hundred thousand magic stones was not a small amount for anyone, and he could not just suffer in silence.

"Master, this is really unfair! We agreed to gamble, but you already knew the result. How can we gamble?"

Fernando smiled indifferently and said, "You have to accept the loss, Tres. If you can't afford to lose, just say so! My disciple majors in pharmacy and also studies death magic. It has nothing to do with the bloodline."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense, Francis stepped out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, this bet is indeed a little inappropriate. But now that it's out, it can't be completely ignored. How about this, Tres, just show some appreciation and give the master some compensation."

Fernando did not hesitate too much. His goal was clear: "Okay, forget about the magic stones. They are just numbers to me. I still want the secret medicine. As you can see, Matthews' talent in close combat is extraordinary."

Tres was silent for a moment, then he started thinking: "It's not that I can't give you the secret medicine. How about this, if Matthews is willing to switch to my Shadow Department, I can treat him as a formal disciple."

This suggestion is really good, because the self-preservation ability of shadow magic is among the best among all magics, and it is easier to understand and master than death magic. But Fernando knows his disciple's love for necromancy, so he can't make a decision for his disciple.

He turned to Matthews and asked, "Matthews, what do you think?"

The conversation between the three big men did not deliberately avoid the two apprentices, so Matthews fully understood what they were talking about.

However, Matthews did not want to give up necromancy. He was not interested in shadow attacks and preferred a head-on confrontation.

"Teacher, I still hope to follow my heart and continue to practice necromancy." Matthews' answer was firm and powerful, leaving no room for negotiation.

Fernando nodded after hearing this, and he deeply appreciated Matthews's persistence: "Tres, you also heard it, this kind of thing can't be forced."

Tres was unwilling to waste the precious shadow secret medicine on an outsider apprentice, and he fell into deep conflict.

Afterwards, the three powerful wizards actually began to communicate with each other through telepathy. They did not want to lose face in front of their disciples.

Finally, under Francis's patient mediation, Tres agreed to provide a set of shadow secret medicine suitable for the apprentice stage on the spot. This was the biggest concession he could make.

Francis highly praised and encouraged Matthews and Garlon's performance, saying that their future is undoubtedly bright. As the pride of the Eternal Night Cave, this fact will not change no matter where they go in the future.

The world was spinning, and Matthews had been taken back to the pharmacy laboratory by his teacher Fernando.

Fernando showed a look of regret: "It's a pity. Shadow magic can be perfectly matched with your melee skills. But learning magic is like this. Only by sticking to your own path can you achieve true success."

He then mentioned how he had obtained the Shadow Potion for Matthews.

Shadow Mystic Potion is a unique secret recipe of the Shadow Department. When combined with the Shadow Training Secret Technique, it can greatly stimulate the physical potential of Shadow Apprentices. It can not only greatly improve the strength, speed and explosiveness of the apprentices, but also greatly enhance their compatibility with Shadow Sorcery.

Although Matthews does not have the assistance of Shadow Secret Technique, obtaining Shadow Secret Potion can still greatly enhance his physical fitness and is of great benefit to his growth.

Matthews' gratitude to his teacher was beyond words, and he also deeply realized the unique advantage of being a disciple of the inheritance.

Fernando did not stop there and continued, "Although we do not have the shadow secret technique to fully activate the effect of the secret medicine, as pharmacists, we have our own unique methods to assist. I believe that the final effect will definitely not be worse than the secret technique. You just need to wait patiently for a while, and I will prepare everything for you."

Matthews was deeply moved and couldn't help but shed tears. The teacher's love and care for him was comparable to that of a direct blood relative. He was so lucky!
