The Necromancer in the Wizarding World
Chapter 80: Joy meets sorrow
After becoming a first-class wizard apprentice, Matthews will face new challenges and opportunities. He will not only continue to cultivate his spiritual power, but also begin to study the basic theoretical knowledge of witchcraft in depth.
Only by mastering sufficient theoretical knowledge can one truly understand the essence and conversion principles of witchcraft, and thus master all kinds of wonderful witchcraft.
Currently, Matthews urgently needs to understand the knowledge system of the death side. In order to obtain this knowledge, he needs to seek guidance and help from mentor Somlia again. He still remembers that the mentor once said that he would teach him the basic knowledge of the death side for free.
Matthews stepped into mentor Somlia's laboratory again, and the scene before him was still familiar: the mentor was concentrating on studying the corpse, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
He was well aware of his mentor's passion and dedication to research, so he did not immediately go up to disturb him. Instead, he chose to sit quietly on a stool nearby and wait.
Time passes slowly while waiting...
Finally, Master Somlia seemed to have finished his research. He slowly took off his gloves and turned to face Matthews. His eyes revealed a hint of appreciation: "Very good, Matthews. You have successfully been promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice."
Matthews felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he remained humble: "Yes, mentor. I have successfully drawn a spiritual will rune in the spiritual space and successfully gathered magic power in my body."
Teacher Somlia nodded with satisfaction: "Your progress is very fast, which has exceeded my expectations. I believe that it won't be long before you can successfully form your own magic source."
Matthews looked at his instructor gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance and encouragement. I will continue to work hard."
Becoming a first-class wizard apprentice is just the starting point of his wizarding journey, and there are more challenges waiting for him in the future. But he believes that under the guidance of mentor Somlia, he will be able to keep moving forward and become a real wizard.
However, a trace of helplessness appeared on the face of the Somlia wizard. He looked at Matthews deeply, his eyes flashing with recognition and expectations of Matthews' potential, but at the same time also revealed his own predicament.
He said softly, "Matthews, I can feel the great potential in you, which makes me very happy. However, as you can see, my experiment is at a critical stage, and I must devote myself to it without distraction."
What he didn't say was that even if he had some spare time, he still needed to use it to teach his daughter Anne. Therefore, he didn't have any spare time at all, which was why he didn't take in any apprentices for many years.
He paused and continued, "Therefore, I cannot give you systematic guidance like other mentors. However, as I said before, I will teach you the basic knowledge of the death side. But you must understand that this knowledge is extremely profound and complex, and you need to put in a lot of effort and time to understand and master it."
Matthews' heart sank. Was this going to end before it even began?
The tone of the wizard Somlia revealed a sense of determination and relief. He continued, "Of course, I will not assign you any mandatory tasks. You can learn at your own pace and according to your own interests. You can understand this as a kind of mutual tolerance."
The words of the wizard Somlia made Matthews feel heavy. Without the continuous guidance of his mentor, his wizard learning journey would undoubtedly be full of thorns. However, he did not give up, but mustered up the courage to make his request to the wizard.
"Teacher," he said, his voice trembling but full of determination, "since you are unable to provide continuous guidance, can I come here regularly to ask you some questions or observe your experiments?"
The Somlia wizard looked at Matthews with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. He knew that this young man had an indomitable spirit and a thirst for knowledge.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Well, on the first morning of every month, I will set aside an hour here to answer any questions you may have."
Hearing this answer, Matthews felt relieved. Although this was not the guidance he expected, he knew that this was the best help the mentor could give him.
He bowed deeply to Teacher Somlia with gratitude: "Thank you, Teacher! I will cherish this opportunity and study hard."
The Somlia wizard nodded in agreement. He continued, "Regarding the observation of the experiment, we can reach an agreement like this: on the morning of the day you ask the question, you can stand aside and quietly watch my experimental operation, but you must remain absolutely quiet and not interfere with my experimental process."
Matthews agreed to the offer without hesitation. He knew that this was a rare opportunity and he had to seize it. He was full of gratitude and anticipation, looking forward to the first day of every month and learning more knowledge and skills from his mentor.
The voice of the Somlia wizard was low and serious, and his words hit Matthews' heart like a heavy hammer: "Well, now I will start to teach you the basic knowledge of the death side. This knowledge is more extensive and complicated than the meditation method. Due to limited time, I will pass it all to you at once. Therefore, you need to be fully prepared mentally."
After saying this, the Somlia wizard slowly took out a black crystal ball from his sleeve.
Just as Matthews was curious about where the mentor had hidden the crystal ball before, the mentor had already signaled him to put his palm on the crystal ball.
Matthews took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his curiosity and nervousness, and then gently placed his hand on the crystal ball. With his last experience, he was more focused this time, but the amount of knowledge still exceeded his expectations.
Although his mental strength had increased significantly, facing such a huge amount of information, his head still felt a sharp pain, as if it would explode at any time. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold on, not daring to relax at all.
Finally, after a long and agonizing time, the knowledge was finally transmitted. When the last bit of information poured into his mind, he immediately felt a wave of weakness, and his whole body was soaked in sweat. His brain seemed to be torn apart, and the pain was excruciating.
At this moment, the wizard Somlia handed him a test tube and motioned him to drink the potion. Matthews did not hesitate at all. He could no longer think normally at this moment. He pulled out the stopper on the test tube, raised his head and drank the potion.
The potion quickly took effect in Matthews' body, alleviating the brain damage caused by forcibly accepting a large amount of knowledge. He felt a cool feeling spreading in his mind, and the pain and discomfort gradually subsided.
Despite this, Matthews still felt extremely tired. His body and mind needed rest and recovery. He thanked his mentor for his help, then staggered out of the laboratory and walked towards his residence.
Every step seemed extremely difficult, but he knew that only by returning to a safe and comfortable environment could he completely relax and allow his body and mind to get the necessary rest.
