The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Despite this, every sixty years or so, there would always be wizards' ships that ventured here, crossing the vast ocean just to stay here for about a year.

During this time, they will go deep into this land to collect or search for those unique rare medicinal herbs. These herbs are extremely precious on the main continent and have immeasurable value in making magic potions and treating injuries.

In addition to collecting medicinal herbs, wizards will also look for potential apprentices in this land, which in wizard terms is to replenish fresh blood.

Grand Duke Leo's eyes sparkled with endless yearning and desire for the distant wizard world. But his eyes also could not hide a trace of deep loss, helplessness and unwillingness. He sighed deeply, as if lamenting the passage of time and the ruthlessness of fate.

Hunter's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he couldn't help asking, "Grandfather, has the wizard's ship arrived?" His voice was full of anticipation and nervousness.

Archduke Leo stared at Hunter, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Oh? How did you know about this?" His voice was low and powerful, revealing a kind of majesty.

Hunter looked at Grand Duke Leo calmly and began to narrate Matthews's experience. He described in detail how Matthews met a wizard more than two months ago, and Matthews' yearning and curiosity for the wizarding world.

After listening to Hunter's narration, Archduke Leo's eyes became deep. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something important.

Finally, Leo spoke out. He said that he had originally planned to tell Hunter about the wizards and the details of the upcoming wizard apprentice selection after Hunter and Matthews had completely settled the matter.

However, considering that Matthews already knew something about wizards, and now Hunter took the initiative to ask, he decided to tell Hunter this important information in advance.

Afterwards, Grand Duke Leo revealed an important piece of news to Hunter: as early as three months ago, the fleet from the main continent had arrived at the Emanujan port of the Byron Empire.

What's even more exciting is that he explicitly told Hunter that the selection of wizard apprentices would take place in six months, which was undoubtedly a crucial time point for Hunter and Matthews.

Hunter keenly captured the deep meaning of Grand Duke Leo's words. He realized that his grandfather deliberately did not want Matthews to know too much about wizards.

However, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, he said to Grand Duke Leo without flinching, "Grandfather, Matthews is also extremely yearning for and curious about the wizarding world. He is my lifelong friend, and I cannot imagine the journey without him. I have decided that no matter what, I will go to Emania with Matthews and face the challenges of the future together."

Archduke Leo was filled with surprise and emotion. He originally thought that the relationship between the two young men was mainly based on competition, but now it seems that the friendship between them is far beyond his imagination.

Hunter’s persistence and courage made him realize that the bond between the two young men was deeper and more unbreakable than he had expected.

Grand Duke Leo took a deep breath, his thoughts drifting back to the distant past, when he also had endless yearning and desire for the wizarding world. But fate's trick prevented him from embarking on that mysterious path.

Now, when he sees Hunter's eyes full of determination, he can't help but feel deeply moved: time flies, years pass like water, but young people's pursuit of dreams has never changed.

He looked into Hunter's focused and determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He seemed to see the shadow of his youth, the self who was full of enthusiasm and firm belief in the wizarding world.

At that time, he was desperate to pursue his dream. Even though he failed to realize his wish in the end, his persistence and pursuit will always be engraved in his heart. Now, this dream seems to have been continued in Hunter.

Grand Duke Leo firmly believed that this young man had the same potential and perseverance as himself. As long as he was given the right opportunities and careful guidance, he would surely stand out in the wizarding world and create his own brilliant chapter.

He sighed softly, and then began to explain to Hunter in detail the harsh conditions for participating in the wizard apprentice selection. There was a hint of helplessness and regret in his tone, as if he felt sorry for those young people who could not realize their dreams.

"First of all, only certain families with descendants of wizards have the right to recommend candidates." Grand Duke Leo spoke slowly, his eyes revealing a deep respect. "These families have inherited the blood and wisdom of wizards from generation to generation. They are the spokespersons and benefit providers of the wizard world on this continent."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Secondly, applicants must not be over eighteen years old. The age limit is very important. It is generally believed in the wizarding world that young bodies have great potential, and the minds of young wizards are not polluted by the secular world and are clearer and more transparent, which makes them more malleable in learning and mastering magic."

Finally, a hint of mystery and solemnity appeared in Grand Duke Leo's tone: "Finally, the applicant must have wizard qualifications. This is the most crucial point, and also the most elusive point. Some people are born with innate wizard talent, while others cannot awaken it no matter how hard they try."

After hearing these conditions, Hunter did not show any sign of retreat, but became more determined.

He held Archduke Leo's hand tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said eagerly: "Grandfather, do you know which families have such recommendation qualifications? Please help us. Matthews and I are eager to participate in this apprentice selection. We will definitely work hard to become excellent wizards."

Grand Duke Leo looked at his grandson's expectant eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "It is said that our Leo family once had a very powerful and terrifying person, but few of them know that the legendary figure is actually a famous official wizard."

Hunter was shocked by these words. Although he knew that there had been a powerful and formidable person in his family, he had never thought that the legend was actually a wizard. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Doesn't that mean that our Leo family has such qualifications?"

Grand Duke Leo nodded and confirmed his grandson's guess: "Yes, that's right. In the Gothic Kingdom, only the Gothic royal family and our Leo family have this recommendation qualification. However, each family has a very limited number of recommendations. Our Leo family only has five precious places each time. These five places are extremely rare, which is why Grand Duke Bai Lan came to visit in person."

Hunter showed a surprised expression on his face, and he couldn't help asking: "Is Charles also planning to participate in the selection of wizard apprentices?"

Archduke Leo nodded slightly and replied affirmatively: "That's right."

The purpose of the Grand Duke of Blanc's trip was for Charles, hoping to secure a precious opportunity for his grandson to participate in the selection. According to the Grand Duke of Blanc, although Charles has a rebellious personality, he has extraordinary talents. His memory is simply astonishing, and he can almost remember everything he sees.
