The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews tidied himself up quickly. He was in such a mess. It didn't matter if he was in the laboratory, but he couldn't be like this when he was going to see the teacher. Otherwise, he would definitely be scolded. As for the laboratory, he could only tidy it up after he came back.

Afterwards, he hurried to the teacher's pharmacy laboratory.

He saw the teacher sitting on the bench, thinking about something and seemingly in a trance.

"Teacher!" Matthews called softly.

Fernando came back to his senses when he heard the voice. He looked at Matthews, nodded, and motioned him to sit down.

"Matthews, I need your advice on something!"

Matthews said respectfully: "Teacher, just tell me what you want me to do. I will do my best to complete it!"

Fernando was very satisfied with his disciple's attitude, but his expression was still serious: "The Blood Trial for Apprentices in the North will start in two months. It has not been announced yet. I just want to ask in advance if you want to participate?"

Matthews looked puzzled and asked, "Teacher, I have never heard of the Blood Trial. Are there any special benefits to participating in it?"

Bloody? It doesn't sound like a good word. Normally, the teacher shouldn't let them take risks. After all, they are pharmacists, not combat wizards. There is no need to fight and kill!

But since the teacher asked for his opinion, there must be a reason. Maybe this trial is not as bad as it seems, and there may be some unexpected surprises!

Thinking of this, Matthews felt a little excited.

Afterwards, Fernando began to explain the basic situation of the Bloody Trial to his disciples in detail.

It turns out that in order to ensure fair distribution of resources, the various wizard organizations in the North hold a contest of strength every twenty years and redistribute resources based on the results.

However, the ones who fought on behalf of their respective organizations were not official wizards, but apprentices from various wizard organizations.

The reason why apprentices are chosen instead of formal wizards is that all wizard organizations are essentially wizard academies. The greatest significance of these academies is to cultivate a new generation of wizard blood in the wizard world to ensure the continuous inheritance of wizards.

Therefore, what really matters is the overall teaching strength of the academy, rather than the personal abilities of individual wizards or apprentices. The standard for measuring the overall teaching quality of the academy is reflected in the overall strength of the apprentices. Thus, the Bloody Trial of Apprentices was born.

Each wizarding organization will send their apprentices to participate, and in the end the total points obtained by the apprentices of each academy will become the standard for measuring the strength of each academy.

It is for this reason that the third-class apprentices of each academy basically have to fully participate in this trial. However, there are some special cases. Apprentices who focus on research in the direction of witchcraft, such as the Department of Everything, the Department of Alchemy, and the Department of Alchemy, are usually allowed to choose whether to participate according to their personal wishes.

In addition, in order to stimulate the fierce competitive atmosphere in the Bloody Trial, the Northern Wizard Alliance specially prepared thirteen precious high-level secret medicines in the Bloody Secret Realm as the ultimate reward for the strongest apprentice in the trial.

Hearing this, Matthews felt somewhat powerless. With his current strength, even if he played all his cards, it would be difficult for him to enter the top thirteen of the Eternal Night Cave standings, let alone facing the thirteen wizard organizations in the entire North.

However, when he heard his teacher mention the advanced secret medicine, he couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart.

"Teacher, I have never heard of advanced secret medicine. Is it related to advanced magic materials?"

Fernando nodded and confirmed: "Yes, the high-level secret medicine is actually made of high-level magic materials."

Matthewston felt confused. As far as he knew, high-grade magic materials were usually swallowed directly and were not used to prepare potions.

So, he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, aren't the creatures made of high-level magic materials very fragile? How can they be used to make secret medicine?"

Fernando was very pleased with his disciple's question, because it showed that Matthews' knowledge of pharmacy was no longer limited to the basics.

"Then you should also know that using two specific organisms together can often produce unexpected and wonderful effects, right?"

Matthews' eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Teacher, you mean that the advanced secret medicine is made by the clever combination of two precious biological energies?"

Fernando's eyes flashed with admiration. "Yes, so these thirteen high-level secret medicines are extremely precious. Even high-level wizards would be tempted by them. What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"

Matthews was really tempted, but he was self-aware that his current combat power was still too weak. However, if his unique witchcraft could be successfully developed, the situation might be different.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and responded honestly: "Teacher, the advanced secret medicine is indeed exciting, but my current strength is really limited!"

Fernando nodded slightly and looked at his disciple with satisfaction. This kid was quite self-aware. He was afraid that this kid would challenge those seed figures of the academy because of impulse and greed.

After all, these thirteen advanced secret medicines were actually prepared for the strongest seed figures in the thirteen wizard organizations. Each of them had reached the peak of wizard apprentices, and each of them was a disciple with unique skills.

In contrast, although Matthews was also a disciple of a legacy, he was a disciple of a research wizard. In terms of combat, Fernando could not really help his disciples much.

"Matthews, although you can't get the secret medicine, it's not without other benefits. In fact, I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why the Blood Trial is held in the Blood Secret Realm is because

Another important reason is that the Bloody Secret Realm needs a lot of blood and flesh of magic beasts and even apprentices to nourish the high-level magic materials inside! Speaking of this, can you guess what kind of magic material it is? "

Matthews' eyes lit up, and he said without thinking: "Netherworld Fruit and Blood Lotus!"

Fernando laughed heartily, thinking that his disciple was indeed smart. "You guessed correctly, Matthews! Although the places where these two kinds of magic materials grow are covered by the magic array and outsiders cannot enter, due to their growth characteristics, it is inevitable that they can be found in certain places close to the magic array! And this is your goal."

After hearing this, Matthews couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Teacher, high-level magic materials are very precious. There will definitely be many people who have the same idea. What should we do then?"

Fernando smiled mysteriously and patted Matthews on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll give you two most likely and very hidden locations. No one should know about them!"

Matthews heard this and suddenly realized something was going on. "If that's the case, then there's no problem. After all, I still have the robes and school badges you gave me! Protecting myself shouldn't be a problem."

However, Fernando shook his head and said, "The Blood Trial has a rule that participants are not allowed to bring witchcraft equipment that exceeds the apprentice level, so you can only use that robe. As for the school emblem, you have to leave it with me for the time being."

Matthews was not too worried when he heard this, but was completely relieved. After all, if he had a powerful magic weapon, it was possible that other apprentices would have one too. If that happened, it would be a mess - with magic weapons, the strong would probably be killed by the weak.

He suddenly felt that this rule of the trial was absolutely right, as it would allow the apprentices to truly demonstrate their true strength.

If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of? If you want to gain something, you can't do it without taking any risks.

The Netherworld Fruit is secondary among the magic materials, but the Blood Lotus is different. It has the ability to regenerate severed limbs, and it is inevitable that it will be used someday in the future.

After thinking it through, Matthews said firmly: "Teacher, I am willing to participate!"
