The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews followed closely behind Master Fernando, vowing firmly in his heart that he must not miss this opportunity.

Fernando suddenly stopped, turned to Matthews and said, “Albert, I have never heard of this family.”

Matthews replied hastily: "Master, I come from the distant Lost Land and just arrived in the main continent last week."

Fernando thought for a moment and asked, "So, you have never come into contact with a wizard before?" He knew something about the Lost Land, and there were indeed no wizards there.

Matthews nodded and said, "Yes, Master. Few people over there have heard of wizards. It was by chance that I was able to board a ship to the main continent."

Fernando frowned slightly: "So, who is your mentor?"

"My mentor is the Somlia wizard." Matthews replied.

Fernando showed a surprised expression: "You actually chose the death side! This is a deep and difficult field."

Matthews sighed and said helplessly: "Master, when I came to the Eternal Night Cave, I had already missed the best time to enroll. At that time, there were only two choices left: the Plant Department and the Death Side. I had no choice but to choose the Death Side."

Fernando nodded slightly to show his understanding, and continued to ask: "So, have you determined the specific department of the death side?"

Matthews shook his head and replied, "Not yet, but I have learned the basics of meditation and the death side from my mentor."

Fernando frowned, thought for a moment and then asked, "Well, the division is indeed the advanced knowledge of the death side. In other words, you have not received any systematic pharmacy education?"

Matthews said quickly: "Master, although I have not received systematic pharmacy education, I spent a year on the ship that came to the main continent, carefully studying the "Collection of Witch Medicines". In addition, I was born into a family of medicinal herbs in the Lost Land, and I have been familiar with various medical books since I was a child."

He is not exaggerating; these are his real experiences and background.

Fernando nodded after hearing this, with a hint of appreciation on his face: "Not bad, your background and experience are very interesting."

He hated those self-righteous and selfish wizards, and Matthews's background just suited his preference - he had no prominent wizard background, but showed an interest and talent in pharmacy. He firmly believed that as long as Matthews was willing to work hard, he would be able to achieve something in the field of pharmacy.

So, Master Fernando extended an olive branch to Matthews: "Matthews, are you interested in becoming my apprentice and learning pharmacy from me?"

Matthews accepted the invitation without hesitation: "Master, I am very willing to be your apprentice! I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations!"

However, Master Fernando also realized a problem. He frowned and said worriedly:

"However, this will seriously affect your progress in studying death magic. After all, both subjects require a lot of time and energy. If you try to do both at the same time, you may end up not achieving the desired results in either subject."

Matthews understood Master Fernando's concerns, and he quickly explained:

"Master, you don't know that my mentor, the wizard Somlia, doesn't have much time to guide me. He only takes one hour every month to answer my questions and doesn't assign me any tasks. So, except for the first day of every month, I am free the rest of the time."

After listening to Matthews' explanation, Fernando's brows relaxed a little: "In that case, you can take pharmacy as your major subject and death magic as your minor. In this way, you can devote more energy to the study of pharmacy, and you will not completely give up the study of death magic."

Matthews nodded firmly: "Yes, mentor! I will do as you suggest."

He is full of enthusiasm for pharmacy and has a strong interest in death magic. He is convinced that under the guidance of Master Fernando, he will be able to achieve outstanding achievements in the field of pharmacy.

In the wizarding world, there can be multiple mentors, but there is usually only one true "teacher". Similarly, a wizard can have many apprentices and multiple formal disciples, but there can only be one successor disciple.

A wizard will only provide limited basic knowledge and guidance to apprentices, teach some skills to formal disciples, but will teach all his skills to inheritance disciples.

Fernando was very satisfied with Matthews' answer. He nodded and led Matthews to his laboratory.

Fernando's laboratory is extremely luxurious and practical, with a huge interior space. The laboratory table is filled with various sophisticated experimental equipment, and the shelves are neatly arranged with various experimental materials classified into different categories.

Next to the laboratory, there are also special lounges, study rooms and experimental animal rooms. The lounge is comfortable and spacious, and the layout is warm and elegant. The study room contains many precious pharmacy books and scrolls. The experimental animal room is used to raise small animals for experiments.

Fernando pointed to the laboratory and said to Matthews: "This is where you will study in the future. You can read any book in the study at will. I hope you can find what you are interested in here and continue to learn and explore."

Fernando then authenticated Matthews's identity badge in the laboratory, and from then on Matthews could enter and exit the laboratory and study freely.

Fernando had high hopes for Matthews. He already had a plan in mind: if Matthews could prove his talent, he would be willing to accept him as a formal disciple.

Because, even though he was over 300 years old, he had never accepted a formal disciple, let alone a successor disciple. This was why many children from wizard families were eager to become his apprentices.

Matthews felt Fernando's expectations and importance of him, and he responded solemnly: "Thank you, mentor! I promise to do my best to study pharmacy and will never let you down." There was firmness and determination in his eyes, and he was ready to meet the next learning challenges.
