The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Although Matthews' eyelids were heavy, he still tried to open his eyes and greet the new day. Charles arrived as promised and invited him to attend today's open class.

"Matthews, are you okay? You look a little tired." Charles' voice was full of concern.

Matthews shook his head gently and tried to make his voice sound relaxed: "Don't worry, I'm just a little tired. You go first, I'll be there soon."

Charles noticed Matthews' tired look and mistakenly thought that he was tired because of excessive meditation. He reminded him, "Then you should take a rest first and don't force yourself. You can attend the public class next time." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry, rushing to the classroom.

Matthews simply washed and tidied his appearance. He knew that today's basic pharmacy course was very important to him and he couldn't miss it. He ate some food in a hurry and decided to go to the classroom even though he was still tired.

When Matthews walked into the classroom, he was deeply shocked by the scene before him - the classroom was already packed with people. All the seats were occupied.

Matthews walked to the back of the classroom without hesitation, stood against the wall, and prepared to listen to the lecture standing up. Although he had gone through a severe test of mental strength yesterday, which made him exhausted, his thirst for knowledge had not diminished. He knew that every open class was a rare learning opportunity that should not be missed.

The classroom door slowly opened, and a wizard with white hair slowly walked in. Matthews recognized him at a glance—Fernando Mason, the highly respected potion master on the college bulletin board.

Master Fernando is not only a powerful second-level wizard, but also a leader in the field of pharmacy in the Eternal Night Cave and even the entire Northern Wizarding Alliance.

The arrival of the master made Matthews realize that he was standing at the starting point of a brand new learning journey. His heartbeat accelerated with anticipation, eager to learn valuable pharmacy knowledge and wisdom from the master's teachings.

In the master's class, Matthews deeply realized the core position of pharmacy in the wizarding world. The master emphasized that pharmacy is not only about the processing of drugs and the preparation of medicines, but also a comprehensive subject covering drug design, mechanism of action, bioavailability and rational use of drugs.

Master Fernando elaborated on the basic principles of pharmacy, including the absorption, distribution and metabolism of drugs in the body, and how these processes determine the efficacy and safety of drugs.

Through vivid examples, he showed the apprentices how to improve the bioavailability of drugs and thus enhance their efficacy by optimizing the formulation and production techniques of medicines.

In addition, Master Fernando also encouraged apprentices to not only master the basics of alchemy, but also to keep an eye on the latest potion research trends in the wizarding world.

He particularly mentioned the application prospects of biopheromones in pharmaceutical innovation, which inspired the apprentices to imagine the future development of pharmacy.

Master Fernando nodded with satisfaction, acknowledging everyone's enthusiasm: "It seems that you are indeed very interested in pharmacy. Now, let me see how well you have mastered and understood the basics of pharmacy."

After thinking for a while, he asked his first question: "Who can tell me what propolis is?"

As soon as the question was asked, many apprentices quickly raised their hands, including Matthews, who had seen a detailed introduction to propolis in the Witch Medicine Collection.

Master Fernando motioned to an apprentice in the front row to answer. The apprentice stood up and said confidently: "Propolis is a substance made by night bees collecting plant resins and mixing them with their saliva and beeswax. It has significant antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and is the most commonly used medicinal material for making healing potions."

Fernando smiled and nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the apprentice's answer. He then asked a more challenging question: "So, regarding the high-grade magic materials in witchcraft, they usually contain unique bioenergy. Can anyone tell me what methods are there to extract bioenergy?"

This question made the apprentices ponder, and no one could answer it for a while. The extraction of bioenergy involves the advanced field of pharmacy, and high-grade magic materials are extremely rare in the wizarding world, so ordinary apprentices rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with them.

Although Matthews had very limited knowledge of alchemy in the wizarding world, which was limited to the basic medicinal materials in the "Pharmacopoeia", he understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch and that opportunities had to be fought for.

So he plucked up the courage to raise his hand, hoping to attract the attention of Master Fernando. He was eager to learn more about potions from Master Fernando, because he gradually realized that the medicines in the wizarding world were far more magical than he had imagined.

When Fernando saw Matthews, who was standing at the back, raising his hand, he was a little surprised, but out of respect for all the apprentices, he still signaled Matthews to speak.

Matthews took a deep breath, sorted out his words and said:

"Although I have never come into contact with high-level magic materials, nor have I learned advanced knowledge of pharmacy, I believe that the principle of 'like dissolves like' also applies to high-level magic materials and the extraction of their bioenergy. Therefore, I think using bioenergy to extract bioenergy may be an effective method. In addition, I also thought of alcohol extraction, which may also be applied to the extraction of bioenergy."

The reason why he said this was because he thought that the Cordyceps he had come into contact with should be a high-level magic material. Because the magical effect could not come from ordinary medicinal materials, it must be the unique bioenergy that the master just mentioned. Therefore, he boldly proposed the "alcohol extraction method".

There was a glimmer of surprise in Master Fernando's eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect to meet such a promising young man here.

Matthews's thinking is quick, his logic is clear, and he even dares to make bold guesses and draw correct conclusions based on his guesses. These are not too difficult for an experienced wizard, but for an apprentice, being able to find the answer through logical reasoning is really precious.

Fernando couldn't help but applaud: "Your answer is very good. What is your name?" His voice was full of admiration.

Matthews immediately replied excitedly: "Master, my name is Matthews Albert." His voice was full of relief and excitement.

Fernando smiled and said, “Matthews, your answer is very correct. Your way of thinking and understanding of knowledge are beyond my expectations.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole classroom was filled with praises, and everyone looked at Matthews with envy. They knew that Master Fernando had treated this apprentice differently, and Matthews was going to be successful.

Master Fernando continued, "Matthews, come with me after class. I want to talk to you alone." His tone was full of expectation and encouragement.

Matthews was very excited: "Yes, Master!" His heart was filled with anticipation and longing to communicate with the Master.

Finally, Master Fernando said to everyone: "You all have great potential, and I see your thirst for knowledge. The goal of pharmacy is to create safer, more effective and more economical medicines. Remember, there is no best medicine, only the most suitable one. Each medicine has its unique use and value. The key lies in how we use them reasonably."

After saying this, Master Fernando announced that today's class was over.
