The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews breathed a sigh of relief, the fear in his heart finally dissipated. Without saying anything more, he bowed slightly, took a few steps back, and turned back to his team.

Returning to the fire, Hunter couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Matthews, who is that?" His curiosity was obviously aroused by the scene just now.

Matthews shook his head gently, signaling Hunter with his eyes not to ask any more questions. Hunter saw this and immediately understood Matthews' intention, so he closed his mouth and said no more.

Afterwards, everyone started to enjoy the barbecue. The black bear meat was delicious, and after being grilled, it became even more crispy and delicious. Everyone ate with gusto, and everyone was quite satisfied with this black bear feast.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, the team led by the gray-robed man was ready to set off on a new journey. Their steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was on solid ground.

Although the team led by the gray-robed man was composed of ordinary people, they were all veterans on this mountain road and were experienced. Their walking speed was no less than that of Matthews and his group.

Charles finally couldn't suppress his inner curiosity. He moved closer to Matthews and asked in a low voice: "Matthews, who is that man in gray? He gives me a very mysterious feeling." The scene of last night could not be erased from his mind, and he was full of curiosity about the identity of the man in gray.

Matthews looked at Charles's curious and questioning expression and weighed the pros and cons for a moment. He realized that hiding this from Charles might damage their friendship and create a rift between them. Moreover, Charles would soon know the true identity of the Gray Robe Man.

So, he looked around and saw that there were only Hunter and Charles around him, and no one else noticed. Matthews approached Charles and Hunter and whispered: "Don't tell anyone, that's a wizard!"

Charles was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he forgot to keep a low profile for a moment. The word wizard resonated strongly in his heart, and the purpose of their trip was related to wizards. However, he realized his gaffe and looked around hurriedly, fearing that he would attract the attention of others.

Hunter didn't seem surprised by the news. He nodded, indicating that he understood Matthews' words. He had long noticed the extraordinaryness of the gray-robed man, but he didn't express it directly like Charles did.

Matthews knew that Charles would be shocked, but he was afraid that Charles would continue to ask questions, so he quickened his pace without hesitation. He hoped that in this way, he could quickly divert the topic and avoid further discussion.

**********

Under the firm leadership of Grand Duke Leo, this group of young men and women, who usually enjoyed a life of luxury and comfort, finally successfully crossed the steep Andes Mountains after more than ten days of arduous journey and stepped into the territory of the Byron Empire.

Although they did not encounter any major danger during the entire journey, physical fatigue was like an invisible mountain, pressing them to the point where they could hardly breathe.

When they finally stepped out of the Andes Mountains, everyone seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and the pressure in their hearts was completely released at this moment. They smiled at each other, with the joy of victory and pride in their eyes.

This trip to the Andes Mountains will undoubtedly be an unforgettable memory for them, not only because they successfully overcame the challenges of nature, but also because in the face of adversity, they learned to persevere and overcome themselves.

Now, after a long and challenging journey, the most urgent desire of everyone is to find a harbor where they can completely relax their body and mind.

They long to feel the refreshing feeling of hot water rushing over their tired bodies, and imagine themselves immersed in a warm bathtub, with all the fatigue and dust disappearing.

And that soft bed was their deepest longing at the moment. They looked forward to lying on it without restraint, letting every cell in their body indulge in this rare comfort.

The Grand Duke saw through everyone's fatigue and told them that there was a trading town not far ahead. Although it was not large, it had complete facilities and was a perfect place to rest. His words were like the warm breeze of early spring, instantly dispelling the haze in their hearts and rekindling everyone's determination to move forward.

Their steps became lighter as the outline of the town gradually became clear in the afterglow of sunset. The houses were arranged in an orderly manner, the streets were wide and clean, and the lights that had been turned on were like stars in the night, exuding a warm glow.

With an eager anticipation of rest, everyone quickened their pace, wanting to reach the small town as soon as possible where they could temporarily forget their fatigue and rest in peace.

Soon, they entered the embrace of the town. Although the town was not big, it was bustling with people coming and going. Everyone was looking for the most luxurious hotel in the town, hoping to get the ultimate comfort and thoughtful service there.

Soon, their eyes were attracted by an elegant and magnificent hotel. In this border town, such a hotel was like a shining pearl, which was particularly eye-catching. Everyone couldn't wait to walk into the hotel, check in, and then go to their own rooms.

Matthews pushed open the door, and the scene before him made him smile with satisfaction. The room was fully equipped and decorated in a warm and comfortable manner.

However, what made him most ecstatic was the large and soft bed. It stood quietly in the middle of the room, as if opening its arms to him and inviting him to fall into a sweet dream. He couldn't wait to lie on the bed and feel the softness and comfort of the bed.

A knock on the door interrupted Matthews's imagination, and the waiter brought him a bucket of steaming hot bath water. He took the bucket, nodded gratefully, and then quickly tidied the bathtub.

He took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, completely immersing his body in the warm water. The water gently brushed over his skin, taking away his fatigue and dust from the past few days, and bringing him an unprecedented sense of comfort.

After taking a bath, Matthews changed into clean and tidy clothes. He lay on the soft and comfortable big bed, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare tranquility and relaxation. In the warm bed and peaceful atmosphere, he fell asleep unconsciously and began a wonderful dream journey.

When the door rang again, it was already the next morning. Matthews woke up from his deep sleep, tidied himself up, and walked briskly to the dining room. At this time, the Grand Duke and the two generals were already enjoying breakfast, and others also came one after another. Everyone sat together, enjoying a hearty breakfast and talking about the next trip.

The Grand Duke told everyone that they would then travel on horseback across the vast land of the Byron Empire. It was estimated that it would take more than a month to reach their destination, Emanuja.
