The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking about a lot of things, and the knowledge taught by Master Lieben kept echoing in his mind. He was fascinated by the mystery of acupuncture points and developed a strong interest in the profoundness of Chinese medicine.

He tried to close his eyes and calm himself down, but those bits of knowledge were like bright stars, shining brightly in the darkness and could not be ignored. Matthews knew that it would take time to digest and understand this knowledge, but he also knew his love and pursuit of this subject.

He stood up and sat at the desk, deciding to record what he had learned today. At the same time, he carefully added the limited theoretical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in his memory and organized it into notes. In this way, he could not only deepen his memory, but also refer to it at any time in future studies. The pen tip rustled on the paper, and Matthews was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and forgot the passage of time.

When the first rays of morning sun shone into the room through the window, Matthews finally put down his pen and looked at his notes with satisfaction. Although he hadn't slept all night, he felt fulfilled and satisfied. He knew that this was just the beginning of learning, and there was more knowledge waiting for him to explore and discover.

Matthews then lay down on the bed and fell asleep quietly. Until the maid Mia's worried voice woke him up. Looking out the window, it was almost noon. He quickly jumped out of bed, secretly thanking himself for waking up in time to avoid a situation that might arouse suspicion from others. He knew clearly that the secret of the knowledge taught to him by Teacher Lieben must not be leaked, otherwise it might bring unpredictable troubles.

Matthews quickly dressed and washed himself, making sure there was no sign that he had not slept all night. Then he left the room, trying to remain calm so as not to attract the attention of Mia or anyone else. He made up his mind to be more careful in learning and practicing Leben's teachings, and to be more vigilant in ensuring that his secrets were safe.

Matthews came to the restaurant to have dinner with his mother. The Countess did not notice anything unusual about Matthews.

The countess looked at Matthews expectantly and invited him gently, "Matthews, are you willing to spend some good time with me and go to Cania City to listen to a wonderful concert? Then, we can also participate in the celebration of the Autumnal Equinox together and feel the joy of the autumn harvest."

"Mother, my training is currently at a critical stage and I need to go all out and cannot be distracted. I am deeply sorry for your kind invitation and I hope you can understand and support my decision."

In addition to training in fighting skills and ghost steps, Matthews also needed to follow Leben's instruction to learn in-depth knowledge of acupuncture points. Time was tight, and he almost wanted to squeeze out sleep time. So he could only cruelly reject his mother's invitation.

A trace of regret appeared on the countess's face, but she quickly regained her smile and said gently: "It's a pity, but mother fully understands and supports your decision."

After a leisurely stroll in the garden, Matthews walked into the training ground. The scene before him made him stop in his tracks. The death row inmates were no longer fighting alone, but were instead grouped in pairs for intense doubles training.

Matthews walked over to Instructor Lieben, and after the two exchanged a few brief greetings, Lieben praised the two-person training method used by the death row inmates, believing that this method could significantly improve their reaction speed and coordination ability.

Matthews agreed with this and immediately selected a group of opponents who had good cooperation with him from the death row inmates and started a real-life exercise with them. In this confrontation, the close cooperation between the two death row inmates posed a great challenge to Matthews, but it also effectively honed his ghost-step movement and joint lock skills.

In this way, Matthews' daily training plan is rigorous and efficient. In the morning, he combines the family breathing method to carry out basic training, aiming to improve basic qualities and condense fighting spirit to purify and strengthen inner energy. In the afternoon, he conducts actual combat confrontation to hone his fighting skills and footwork. At night, he follows the teacher Lieben to study acupuncture in depth and constantly enrich his theoretical knowledge.

However, Matthews found that time always seemed to slip away inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye it was already late autumn.

It is worth mentioning that since Lieben and Matthews established this master-disciple relationship, Lieben not only taught Matthews all his skills and experience in joint lock fighting techniques, but also taught Matthews many combat strategies and combat wisdom.

Not only that, Lieben also personally participated in the training, leading by example and guiding Matthews' training. Matthews quickly mastered these skills with his talent, diligence and unique knowledge system, and continued to hone and improve them in actual combat.

Under Lieben's careful guidance, Matthews's joint lock fighting skills have experienced a qualitative leap. He has not only mastered the basic techniques of various joint locks, but also can flexibly adapt to the different reactions and fighting styles of his opponents, using various complex combos and counter-attack strategies. Each of his attacks is both accurate and efficient, and he can find and exploit the opponent's weaknesses in the shortest time.

Matthews' body coordination and strength control have reached a new level, allowing him to accurately perform joint locks while moving at high speeds, and even maintain his advantage against stronger opponents. His joint lock skills are not limited to defensive counterattacks, but he can also take the initiative to launch offensives and control the rhythm of the entire battle through clever layout and prediction.

In addition, Matthews has learned how to stay calm and focused during games, which allows him to perform at his best even under pressure. His improved mental quality and tactical awareness, coupled with his superb skills, enable him to handle opponents with ease in any situation, showing the style of a true master.

There is gain and loss. Matthews focused on joint lock training, which seriously affected the progress of his family's unique skills, ghost steps and spinning slash fighting skills. His footwork improved slowly and his sword skills stagnated.

After realizing the problem, Matthews is planning to adopt the tips taught by his father for training.

However, Lieben hurriedly found him and conveyed an important message: Matthews's brother had returned to the castle with the family's knights and had selected other knights from the family, Lieben being one of them. They were about to set off for the Andes Mountains in the northwest of the territory.

Matthews knew that late autumn was the best time for the Albert family to gather people and go deep into the mountains to search for precious medicinal herbs. At this time, the growth of medicinal herbs has stopped, and dangerous creatures such as snakes, insects, and poisonous ants in the mountains have also decreased significantly due to the cold climate, providing a relatively safe environment for collection work.
