The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

The carving of the Locust Knight's runes was supposed to be a task that Matthews had to complete early on, but due to his own reasons, the verification experiment had to be postponed.

Matthews jumped into action. He quickly secured the three locust knights on the experimental table and began to carve three different triple amplification rune marks on their bodies with skill and precision.

In order to speed up the formation of the rune veins, Matthews directly applied healing potions to the locusts and gave them qi meridian recovery potions.

Time was running out, and they started the test in less than half a day.

However, the situation was not optimistic. The first locust had problems immediately after using the combined power to activate the rune imprint. The blood consumption caused by the triple rune amplification was far beyond expectations, and ordinary blood recovery potions could not offset this consumption rate at all. Fortunately, the locust's brain was not damaged.

It seems that for the knight, a two-fold increase in strength is already the limit that the body can withstand.

Francis decisively ordered: "Go on, next one!"

Matthews reluctantly began to activate the rune brand of the second locust. However, the condition of this locust was worse than expected - not long after the rune was activated, an explosion occurred.

Its power was far greater than that of a magic bomb. If Francis, a senior wizard, had not acted in time, the entire laboratory would have suffered serious damage.

Wizard Andre's face turned very ugly. He felt frustrated and disappointed: "I have modified this locust and tried to slow down the loss of its energy and blood, but it seems that I still failed..."

Francis frowned and said seriously: "This method obviously doesn't work! Insufficient Qi and blood will cause the activated runes to collapse. We must find another way out. Continue, next one!"

Matthews knew that time was running out, so he didn't waste any more time and started to activate the rune mark of the third locust as he was told.

This time, the rune imprint worked very well, with little loss of energy and blood, and none of the abnormal conditions of the previous two times occurred.

Wizard Andre said excitedly: "This external method of replenishing Qi and blood seems to be very effective. It can completely alleviate the serious problem of Qi and blood consumption caused by the activation of the rune."

Francis frowned. "That being said, this kind of witchcraft has too many limitations. It is impossible to leverage power infinitely! We need to find a more stable and lasting solution."

Matthews also felt that this method was a bit useless. He said, "The external blood and energy just now came from other locust knights. This is probably a limitation!"

Wizard Andre nodded and said solemnly: "We will verify this later. The most urgent task is to determine the specific solution. We don't have much time!"

Francis nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "During the insurance period, we will split into two groups. Andre will continue to try external blood and qi replenishment, while I need to study these runes in depth to see if I can find a solution."

Matthews believes: "The problem cannot be completely solved by simply modifying the runes. We should try to harmonize the Qi and blood!"

Wizard Andre shook his head helplessly: "I have tried this before, but the same old problem still exists. No matter how the Qi and blood are reconciled, insufficient supply will lead to the previous problems. So simply reconciling the Qi and blood will not solve the problem at all."

Matthews fell into deep thought. He recalled Arthur's original research results and a sense of enlightenment surged in his heart.

Fighting spirit is the source of power for the rune brand, while qi and blood are the bridge between the rune brand and the body.

However, there is an essential difference between a knight and a wizard after all. One cannot simply apply the knight's rune mark directly to a wizard, but rather needs to use the wizard's unique power.

So, he boldly proposed: "We should change the support of Qi and blood to the joint support of mental power and Qi and blood. The reason why knights can only rely on Qi and blood is because they lack strong mental power.

But for us wizards, we have strong spiritual power, so our witchcraft should be supported by both spiritual power and qi and blood."

Dean Francis and Wizard Andre were shocked when they heard Matthews' proposal. They realized that they had fallen into a kind of inertial thinking, completely ignoring the fearlessness and innovative thinking that wizards should have, and ignoring the powerful and unique spiritual power of wizards.

Dean Francis stared at Matthews closely, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he said with emotion:

"Matthews, you are absolutely right! I have made a mistake and failed to fully utilize the advantages of a wizard. Thank you for your reminder. I will transform the witchcraft runes as soon as possible, with the support of mental power and blood as the core, and explore a set of blessing runes that truly belong to wizards."

Wizard Andre frowned and said in a deep voice: "If this transformation is feasible, the experiment of harmonizing qi and blood may need to be restarted. At the same time, the types of external qi and blood supplements need to be verified in detail. In this way, we will not have enough time!"

Francis nodded after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's conduct the experiment of harmonizing qi and blood first. What Matthews said is absolutely feasible, there is no doubt about it! We can't give up the in-depth exploration and improvement of witchcraft just because time is tight."

Wizard Andre also nodded in agreement. At this point, they could only take care of one aspect first, and other things could only be studied in depth later when they had time.

However, the study and exploration of witchcraft requires time and patience, and one cannot rush for success, otherwise it may result in half the effort with twice the results. But due to time constraints, this is the only way to go.

Without wasting any more time, Francis immediately said, "Everyone, split up and act! As for the Knight Breathing Method that Matthews mentioned, leave it to me!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Matthews followed his teacher to the alchemist to test the witchcraft equipment.

After leaving the laboratory, Fernando seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. He became relaxed and even his walking posture became much lighter.

As he walked, he praised Matthews beside him: "Matthews, you are really outstanding! It is no exaggeration to say that your witchcraft sense has surpassed that of ordinary formal wizards.

I noticed that the two old guys looked at you with envy and jealousy, hahahaha!"

Hearing such high evaluation from his mentor, Matthews scratched his head a little embarrassedly. If he was told that he was far superior to other apprentices, he could still accept it with pleasure, but when it came to formal wizards, he really didn't dare to act rashly.

In order to change the subject, Matthews quickly asked, "Teacher, what equipment did you book for me?"

Fernando did not answer his disciple's question directly, but kept it a secret: "You will know in a moment! But I need to remind you that old man Michael has a bit of a weird temper, so you'd better not say anything to irritate him!"
