The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Ten days passed in a flash, and during this period, Matthews gained a lot. The witchcraft knowledge of various formal wizards made him overwhelmed and amazed.

At the same time, his fighting spirit level has already surpassed the knight realm, and now he just needs to wait for the final witchcraft of several official wizards to come out.

In contrast, Nicole Bella made Matthews laugh and cry. The other party had urged him many times to go over and discuss the detection glasses with her.

But he really didn't want to miss the precious opportunity to study with a formal wizard, so he always found various excuses to shirk.

However, this time, Nicole Bella actually made a harsh statement that if Matthews didn't go, she would quit her job and even smash the sunglasses she had already made.

Faced with such a threat, Matthews had no choice but to go. However, when he just stepped into the laboratory, he was greeted by Nicole Bella's vicious glare.

"Matthews, what do you mean? Do you really think of me as a free laborer?"

Matthews was filled with helplessness and quickly explained: "Nicole, I'm so sorry, I've been really busy lately."

Nicole Bella sneered: "Then tell me, what are you busy with?"

Matthews touched his nose, unable to find a special reason, so he could only tell the truth: "You may not know yet, but the Blood Trial is about to begin, so I have to quickly increase my strength!"

Hearing this, Nico Bella frowned and asked in confusion: "Blood Trial? What is this? How come I have never heard of it before?"

Matthews could only pick out the "key points" and explain the relevant information of the Blood Trial to him, especially highlighting its cruelty. He also told him that as an alchemist, he did not need to participate.

Nicole Bella's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't help but sigh: "How cruel! How are you prepared?"

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. "Wait, Matthews, aren't you also an alchemy apprentice? Logically speaking, you shouldn't need to participate, right?"

Matthews smiled awkwardly and could only confess: "To tell you the truth, I am not a real alchemy apprentice at all. I am just an alchemy amateur. I also exchanged my entire fortune for alchemy knowledge."

Nicole Bella was surprised at first, but then she was relieved. After all, from the previous contact, the other party's alchemy level was indeed only at the theoretical level, and he had almost no practical experience.

"Oh, so that's how it is." She nodded, showing her understanding. Although the other party was a bit of a jerk, he was also forced by the situation.

She even took the initiative to ask: "In that case, Matthews, do you need any witchcraft equipment? I have quite a few, I can lend them to you first."

Matthews looked a little depressed at the moment, and sighed: "Other things are easy to say, but the detection equipment is really too difficult to find. You can't find it outside at all!"

Speaking of this, Nicole Bella felt very helpless: "The principle of light and shadow positioning is really hard to understand. I can't do it in a month!"

Matthews knew very well that based on this silly girl's level, she would not be able to handle it in a short period of time.

"It's okay. Just take your time to study it. I may not be able to use it anyway."

However, Nicole Bella was deeply moved by Matthews's lies. She frowned and thought seriously. After a while, she suddenly spoke:

"How about...I go ask my teacher for help?"

Upon hearing this, Matthews quickly waved his hand to refuse: "In fact, the special environment in the Bloody Secret Realm will greatly limit this detection method, so don't waste your energy!"

But he shook his head and sighed: "Ah, it would be great if we could find sound wave detection equipment..."

Nicole Bella was stunned when she heard this, then she seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly left the laboratory.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Matthews suddenly showed a smile of success on his face.

However, at this moment, the identity badge on his waist suddenly flashed, which was a reminder of important news.

Mission Notice: One month later, the Bloody Trial of the North will officially begin. All third-class wizard apprentices are requested to go to the Apprentice Hall as soon as possible to learn the detailed trial rules!

He did not dare to delay and immediately sent a message to Charles: "The Bloody Trial has been officially announced. Go to the Apprentice Hall and sell the pamphlet you made! Also, please help me find out if there are any differences between this trial's rules and the previous ones."

Then, he began to think about his current situation. Undoubtedly, what he lacked most was the kind of witchcraft that could help him escape and save his life - substitute magic, light body magic, etc.

Compared to the Shadow, Wind, and Secret Doll Departments, his Death Side was at a disadvantage in this regard. This was because the Witchcraft Side did not have this kind of life-saving witchcraft at all during the apprenticeship stage.

However, the death side has a large-scale witchcraft - Death Shock, which should be effective against group-living monsters. As for the basic magic witchcraft, there seems to be a "magic suspension" that may come in handy.

However, when it comes to escaping and saving his life, he has to think carefully about what to do.

However, after becoming an official knight, his ghost steps would become more flexible, but they were limited to quick dodges in a small range. It was still not enough to rely on it to escape.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that maybe he could find a fighting skill that suits him. He remembered that there was an apprentice who was selling books about knights. If he could find a fighting skill in this area, it would be good.

Without hesitation, Matthews walked towards the apprentice's stall. Fortunately, the apprentice was still setting up the stall and did not go to the apprentice hall.

He hurried over to the stall, asked for the book list, and began to carefully examine the knightly fighting skills listed therein.

However, to his disappointment, the book list did not include amazing light skills such as the ancient martial arts such as walking on snow without leaving a trace, climbing up the cloud ladder, flying on the grass, climbing a wall like a gecko, and moving at a hundred speeds.

He only has one light footwork called "Phantom Step", which is obviously the same as his Ghost Step, a very fast evasive footwork that emphasizes flexibility.

In addition, he also discovered two close combat skills - Overlord Fist and Palm Knife. The names sounded extraordinary. Matthews had no power to resist the close combat methods and could only defeat them helplessly.
