The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews explained his preparation plan to his mother in detail: "Mother, first of all, I must learn the language of the Byron Empire from Butler Vincent as soon as possible so that I can integrate into the life there more quickly. In addition, I also need to bring some precious medicinal herbs in case of emergency."

The Countess nodded in agreement and said, "Matthews, your plan is very thoughtful. Language and medicinal materials are indeed very important. I will immediately find Butler Vincent and ask him to help you with all his strength. As for the medicinal materials, don't worry. Your father and I will prepare everything you need. You just need to concentrate on studying and preparing."

Afterwards, the Countess quickly ordered the servant to call butler Vincent. She solemnly asked him to teach Matthews the language of the Byron Empire within the next three months and to let Matthews understand the basic common sense of life there.

Although Butler Vincent was somewhat worried about the tight schedule and thought that three months might not be enough to complete the task, he still firmly accepted the challenge.

Seeing this, Matthews asked Butler Vincent to organize the language teaching materials first, and explained to him that his goal was to reach a basic level of daily conversation rather than requiring proficiency.

After learning about Matthews' goal, Vincent's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He immediately began to prepare the necessary teaching materials and teaching plans in order to carry out teaching work efficiently and help Matthews achieve his goal smoothly.

Matthews returned to his room and immediately began writing to Teacher Lieben. He briefly and clearly stated the current situation and emphasized his urgent needs - he needed Teacher Lieben to return to Albert Castle as soon as possible to help him and bring all the necessary Cordyceps, experimental herbs, instruments and test subjects.

Matthews knew that he would be extremely busy in the next three months and would have no time to travel back and forth between the castle and the mountain estate.

After writing the letter, Matthews solemnly ordered several loyal guards and newly subdued apprentice knights to deliver the letter to Instructor Leben as soon as possible and safely. He emphasized that this was not just a simple messenger mission, but also required them to assist Instructor Leben in carrying all the necessary items when he returned.

Matthews was well aware that although their stay in the Byron Empire was limited, it was vital to obtain accurate information.

Mastering basic Byron is not only essential for current needs, but also an important foundation for the subsequent study of the wizarding common language.

Matthews is convinced that the teaching of the wizarding common language is likely to be based on the Byronic language rather than their existing Gothic language.

Therefore, before the return of his teacher, he will devote all his energy to the intensive and orderly study of Byron.

Every day, he started with basic pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. Surprisingly, with clear goals and strong motivation, his learning efficiency was very high.

A few days later, the long-awaited teacher Leben finally returned to the castle. The two immediately went to Matthews' room and had an in-depth conversation that lasted for several hours.

Matthews told Instructor Leben everything he knew about wizards without reservation, from the mysterious gray-robed men in the Andes Mountains, the distant wizard continent, to the upcoming selection of wizard apprentices.

After listening to Matthews's narration, Lieben experienced a process from extreme shock at first to gradual numbness. Such a large amount of shocking information is difficult for anyone to fully digest and accept in a short period of time.

However, as an experienced scholar and practitioner, Master Lieben eventually managed to calm his inner turmoil and began to calmly analyze and think about the information provided by Matthews.

The friendship between Lieben and Matthews is extremely deep. When the topic touches on the possibility of separation, Lieben's voice reveals a sadness that is difficult to conceal: "So, what you mean is that once you set foot on that unknown land, we may never have the chance to meet again?"

Matthews was in an equally heavy mood, his eyes were deep and firm, as if he was ready to face everything: "Yes, this is an inevitable fact. But even if we can't meet face to face, my heart will always be closely connected with you."

Lieben's tone revealed his reluctance to the upcoming separation, but he still asked firmly: "So, before you leave, what do you want me to do for you?"

Matthews seemed a little ashamed. He lowered his head and replied after a moment of silence:

"First of all, I hope you can help me perfect the skills of acupressure and acupuncture as soon as possible. I have a feeling that this unique skill may come in handy in the future. In addition, I need to discuss matters concerning Cordyceps with you. I hope to tell my father the secret of Cordyceps, but before that, I will listen to your opinion first."

Lieben looked at Matthews deeply. He understood the responsibility and pressure behind Matthews' decision.

He nodded to show his understanding: "I understand your decision. This is a very important matter to you. However, you should know that once you tell your father the secret of Cordyceps, I may lose my freedom of action."

Despite this, he still chose to firmly support Matthews because he knew it was the right thing to do.

Matthews understood the concerns of the teacher Lieben: "Teacher, I have thought about this matter. My father has an illegitimate daughter in the city of Cania. If you don't mind, I would like to facilitate her marriage to you."

Hearing Matthews' words, Lieben was shocked: "How...how can this be possible? Although I am unmarried, I am over 40 years old. Your father's daughter is no more than 20 years old."

Matthews shook his head disapprovingly: "This may be the best destination for her. Otherwise, my mother would find it difficult to tolerate her existence. This is also the only way I can think of to make my father no longer care about your identity."

Lieben pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "That's true. In this way, we will be a family from now on, and our interests will be tied together. Let's do it! You can handle these things yourself, and I will give you all the Cordyceps."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Based on the acupoint conjecture data you provided, I have basically completed the acupoint massage part. I have to admit that your talent in acupoints surpasses mine. Next, I will devote myself to the research of acupuncture techniques."

Matthews felt a little ashamed after hearing this, but he didn't want to be too pretentious in this regard: "Teacher, just do it. I will ask people to fully cooperate with your work."

He knew very well that with the full support and help of Instructor Lieben, he would be more at ease in the upcoming journey.
