The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Charles looked at Matthews and Hunter busy by the fire and wanted to join them, but he was so sore all over that he didn't want to move.

The roasted meat was finally ready. It was golden in color, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and exuding an alluring aroma that made people salivate. Matthews carefully selected half a roasted pheasant and handed it to Grand Duke Leo respectfully: "Grand Duke, please enjoy it first."

Archduke Leo took the roasted pheasant, took a bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This tastes really wonderful, and it is in no way inferior to the roast meat I tasted at Albert Castle that year."

Matthews responded modestly, "You are overpraising me, there is still a big gap between the two. The barbecue in Albert Land is baked in a carefully crafted oven. The conditions here are limited, so we can only do this much."

After hearing this, Archduke Leo was deeply impressed by Matthews’ craftsmanship and humble attitude, and nodded in affirmation.

As the aroma of the barbecue spread, the team members began to enjoy this unexpected delicacy. Being able to taste such delicious food in this remote mountain made everyone feel happier.

They expressed their sincere gratitude to Matthews and agreed that if they had the chance, they would go to Albert in person to experience its authentic cuisine.

After a full meal, everyone knew that they had to take a rest and prepare for the difficult journey the next day. The temperature in the mountains in early summer was just right, the nights were cool and pleasant, and mosquitoes rarely appeared. After Matthews lit the insect repellent incense, the team members fell asleep one after another.

After a night's rest, the team members felt refreshed and their physical strength was fully restored.

In the morning, the mountain air was a little cool and fresh, and the sun shone through the treetops, casting mottled shadows. Led by Archduke Leo, the group was ready to set off on a new journey.

Archduke Leo and the two generals were always on high alert, paying attention to the movements around them to ensure the safety of the team. The young boys and girls were concentrating on their journey, and it was obvious that they were used to this mode of behavior.

After passing through the dense woods, they came to a wide open space. The scenery before them was as beautiful as a poem or painting:

The mountains in the distance are looming in the morning light, like an elegant ink painting; and nearby, wild flowers are everywhere, the streams are crystal clear, and the sound of gurgling water and the rustling of leaves in the breeze are intertwined, playing a quiet and beautiful symphony of nature.

Seeing this, Grand Duke Leo smiled and motioned for everyone to take a break and enjoy the rare tranquility and beautiful scenery. Upon hearing this, everyone found a comfortable place to sit down. Some took out dry food to replenish their energy; others closed their eyes and rested, intoxicated by this moment of tranquility.

After the rest, Archduke Leo called all the people together and introduced the next itinerary in detail. Their goal was to cross the open area in front of them and then climb the towering mountain. He especially reminded everyone to pay attention to the road conditions under their feet during the journey to prevent accidents.

At this time, a princess expressed a different opinion: "Grand Duke, I am not questioning your decision, but I think we don't need to take the risk of climbing the peak ahead. We can choose a flatter road to bypass it." Her point of view immediately resonated with others, and many of them held the same idea.

However, Archduke Leo did not directly explain his decision. He just said calmly: "Let's go, you will understand when you go up."

Although his answer was a little mysterious, everyone knew that the decision made by the Grand Duke with his rich experience and wisdom must have far-reaching considerations. So everyone packed their bags and continued on their way.

**********

Standing on the top of the mountain, they were deeply attracted by the scenery before them. They felt that the whole day's hard climbing was worth it:

The mountains in the distance are rolling and undulating, like waves in the sea rolling on the skyline; the sea of ​​clouds nearby is lingering, as if making people feel like they are in a dreamy fairyland, making people marvel at the magic and magnificence of nature.

They stood there quietly, letting the breeze blow, feeling the tranquility and loftiness of the mountain top. At this moment, all the fatigue and hardship disappeared, replaced by a full sense of accomplishment and joy. They knew that this experience of reaching the summit would become an indelible memory in their lives.

"Come and see, there is a stone tablet here!"

Charles' shout broke the tranquil atmosphere of everyone enjoying the beautiful scenery and attracted everyone's attention. He pointed to a stone tablet, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

A princess slowly approached, her eyes focused on the stone tablet, and she began to slowly read the inscription on it:

The Venus Company built this cableway in 1385 of the Imperial calendar with great ingenuity, intending to facilitate travel between the two places. It was named "Venus Cableway" to show its commercial glory and foresight. I hope that future travelers will cherish this project and protect it intact so that it will last forever and ensure the safety of travelers.

The aerial cableway impressed everyone because it was the first time they had seen a cableway so high in the air. One end of it was firmly anchored on the top of the mountain, while the other end crossed the distant canyon, like a giant dragon across the sky.

The Grand Duke went on to explain: "The Venus Merchants' Union is one of the most famous merchant houses in the Byron Empire, known for its good reputation. When conducting business activities, they not only pursue profits, but also attach great importance to social contributions. The entire cableway system consists of four routes, two of which lead to the Byron Empire and the other two to the southeast region. These cableways greatly reduce the travel time between the two places and significantly improve the safety of the journey."

The Grand Duke pointed to the steep canyon between the two peaks, his voice steady and powerful: "That is what people call the Snake Valley, named after the various kinds of snakes that live in the valley. It winds for miles and is daunting." His words revealed his deep awe for this land.

Despite this, Snake Valley did not stop people from moving forward. A well-designed cableway spanned it, providing a safe path for brave pedestrians. This cableway, like a rainbow in the sky, hangs steadily on both sides of the canyon, solid yet beautiful. It not only demonstrates human wisdom and courage, but is also a symbol of Venus Company's contribution to society.
