Chapter 13: A Mysterious Necromancer
Agares continued to spur his horse on, leaving forest after forest behind him. Using the smart navigation system powered by Nyx, it would take the man at least a week to ride to the border.
From the digital map, Agares found three small villages along the navigation route. The nearest village was Akaren, a small village with a view of vast fields. It was located behind the forest that Agares was currently exploring.
Time passed quickly without Agares realizing it. He was sure that Jonathan and the others were getting the best training where they were. Their progress would be much faster than Agares, who had to do it alone.
The sun rolled faster, with the light of dusk appearing on the western horizon, signaling that night was about to come. Not wanting to be trapped in the woods alone, Agares sped up his black horse.
In the distance, a bright light could be seen at the edge of the forest. Agares smiled slightly, knowing that he would soon arrive at the village and rest for the night.
He passed through the forest. The first thing he saw was a village in a valley, with vast agricultural areas used for growing corn and wheat. Agares guessed that their main commodities were crops.
Oil lamps began to light up in every house and along the sides of the road, brightening the village in the approaching darkness. Agares became even more interested, he spurred his horse down the hill until he arrived there.
Agares’ arrival did not attract the attention of a few villagers, especially the adults. However, it was clear that the children were coming over to Agares, admiring the man’s appearance.
"Sir! Are you an adventurer?" they asked, children aged 7–10.
Agares smiled. If many of them said so, there was no harm in him admitting that he was an adventurer.
"Yes."
