Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Four months after Vicente's departure, all of his allies in the kingdom, and even in the neighboring states, were aware of his departure to begin clearing the south of the continent.",

Not only had the Metal City group alerted their men in the south of the continent, but after the first few weeks of travel, Vicente's actions had already helped people in various areas who began to spread the word.

Four months was enough for Vicente to cross the south of the continent, leaving the southeastern end of this vast area and heading toward the southwestern end.

As he had planned, he passed through four states on his way to the Tamor Dynasty, places where he spent 7 to 14 days of his tto help strengthen the areas and build places for the magical awakening of young people.

He visited secret outposts of the Cataclysm Order in these areas, leaving behind men and resources to help strengthen these outposts.

As large as the Cataclysm Order had becduring these years of his ministry, and with the end of the Congregation of Revelation, the order was still absent in several states and had much to grow.

He wanted to use this trip to help the order spread throughout the south and center of the continent, to give young Dark Path magicians a chance to grow amid chaos, and, sooner or later, to bring hope to the community.

Four months was enough for him to help four states on his way and to cross the long road between the Seidel Kingdom and the Tamor Dynasty.

Now he was in the area the survivors of the temple had chosen as a refuge and headquarters for their organization years ago.

The strongest part of the country in the south of the continent, but also the most populous and least affected by the disaster, finally had Vicente in it to help organize the area!

...

Arriving in the capital of the Tamor Dynasty this afternoon, Vicente was not surprised to find this place completely different from the areas he had passed through in his years of traveling through the center and south of the continent.

Already knowing that things were going well for the people of this dynasty, he wasn't surprised to find a society that lived more or less as one would expect from cities before The Purification.

There were also a lot of powerful magicians in the area, with at least 15 Paragons in the city, something extremely rare to see in the south of the continent these days.

But that was only a fraction of the number of Paragons this place had before The Purification. Even the wealthy and privileged Tamor Dynasty had suffered from the monster-induced disaster.

"Venerable Fuller, welcto my humble city." Said the High-level Paragon behind the dynasty, the only one of his rank in his family's entire territory.

Vicente greeted the local monarch, an ally who had previously visited his city in Scott Province and started the friendly relationship between their families.

At the time, this man was only a Mid-level Paragon. But like the people of the Stuart family, he and his family had taken advantage of the opportunities provided by the disaster to boom.Growing up in the 5th stage was difficult for everyone. But with valuable resources available in basically the sproportions as before, but with much less competition, level advancement was available to anyone who wanted to venture out!

Of course, you would have to process the resources you found, absorb their essence slowly, and use your own special characteristics to grow faster. But under the current circumstances, one would have to be very untalented or unwilling to advance not to becstronger.

"Samuel, I am surprised at the condition of your city. I'm afraid not even Scott Province has such a good and safe area." Vicente complimented as he shook the man's hand.

Samuel sighed and said. "Unfortunately, all is not as it seems, Venerable. I'll be honest with you, the city looks better than it is.

As the crisis deepens and the monsters becmore chaotic, many of my men are lost.As much as the city seems peaceful and tranquil, it is a place in constant mourning. Every week, the bodies of our men return to the city in coffins, and sometimes they don't even cback.

The peace in the area is lasting, but I wouldn't say this population is doing well. They are certainly far from having peace of mind. Living in mourning is also a form of terror."

"Is your situation that bad?" Vicente frowned as he looked earnestly at the monarch.

"Your weapons and armor have helped us a great deal. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I would have lost control of the state by now and the situation would be even worse." The king sighed sincerely as he walked with Vicente through the entrance of his palace.

As they made their way through the main garden of the estate, Vicente asked. "What are your numbers of men and weapons?"

"I have 22 Paragons in the dynasty, and 33 5th stage armors in use by Sky Sovereigns. In addition, I have 500 4th grade weapons and 89 4th stage armors used by High-level Mages. The Earth and Sky Sovereigns who are not armed with any of these artifacts have been working to support the Paragons or those who are armed with these artifacts."

"I see... You've lost several of your artifacts since the beginning of our agreement." Minos muttered, already expecting sof his allies to go through this.

He had sent at least 45 pieces of 5th stage armor and 140 pieces of 4th stage armor to this state during the over 2 years of their alliance.

"Yes, unfortunately, sof our men died in battle while carrying these armors. We could not recover these artifacts, so they were lost or destroyed."

Eath armor in question had a conscience. But if they still hadn't been recovered, then they were destroyed or too damaged to return on their own.

"Well, then I'll help you a little. Prepare your materials for me. In the meantime, I think the thas cfor your inhabitants to reawaken their powers." He clapped a hand on the man's shoulder.

"Sigh! I have people in the city who have been waiting for over a year to awaken their powers. The end of the Congregation of Revelations was abrupt and took a lot out of us."

"Don't worry, in a week at the most, I'll have all the young people in your city with magical powers awakened."

Thus began Vicente's journey to Tamor Dynasty, his first long stop on his journey before going in search of the 4th stage vampires in the region!
