Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-644

"So you know about this..." Vicente muttered after Dawson's question, but he didn't hide the truth to get out of a commitment to this man. "Yes, this problem is what makes me want to maintain my independence for the time being. One day, I'll find those responsible for it."

"I see." Dawson looked at Vicente as he narrowed his eyes, aware of which organization had done such a thing. "Then I wish you good luck with your plans. When you no longer have this issue standing in your way, use this if you're interested in entering Whitevale." He gave Vice a pendant with his mark on it.

Vicente thanked the man and kept the pendant with him before saying goodbye to the people around the Paragon.

As Vicente left, King Seidel couldn't help but ask. "Why didn't the Senior insist on your attempt? You could convince him by giving him information about Nixlas' Shadows or even help him more easily achieve his goals while becoming a member of Whitevale."

Dawson narrowed his eyes as he looked at the place Vicente had left. "Someone like that boy can't be limited. If he wants to get into trouble, he'll get into trouble, even with people stronger than him around.

Nixlas' Shadows is not simple. I don't want my Whitevale getting involved in a confrontation with that group because of a single young man. As much as he has the potential to become an Archmage, it wouldn't do any good if my organization fell in the middle of his journey.

So it's best to let him go and sort out his affairs. If he goes to Whitevale after sorting out his problems, my sect will be able to benefit from him without getting involved in a possible war."

"That..." The old man next to the king thought about it, aware that Nixlas' Shadows was stronger than Whitevale.

"Ultimately, he's not ready to join any group yet. Pressing him today would only alienate him from my sect." Dawson said as he turned away from the three Sovereigns. "Today was just an approach. In the future, my people may make a more tempting invitation, and with some insistence."

The three said nothing more as they let the expert return to his position.

Dawson had another reason not to insist. Vicente had just made a deal with this kingdom to protect this territory after the consequences of The Purification, in case that terrible event really came to life.

So Vicente wouldn't get very far for years to come, and there was no guarantee that this young man would survive the aftermath of the calamity.

The strongest were often the first to die in catastrophic events!

'After he gets his fourth pentagram and fights off the monsters coming south, it will be time for another attempt.' He thought to himself before putting the matter aside for the moment.

The king had already put this matter aside and said to his two trusted individuals, "He wants information he and his people will need to hunt pentagrams in about three years. Gather the essentials for the time being, but the more profound parts of it, only leave them to him when he's about to leave. In the meantime, send him and his people in Saltstar City preliminary information every three months. I want you to introduce them to all their options on a trip to the northern center of the continent."

"What about the north of the continent?" The old man asked.

"Don't give him any information about that area. If The Purification does happen, that place will be too dangerous for a hunt. It would be better if he and his group focused on reaching their new pentagrams in the north-central part of the continent. There will be enough opportunities for them there."

"All right, Your Majesty." The two said before leaving to get their respective subordinates to help them with their mission.

The agreement Vicente and King Seidel had signed was already valid. Still, the royal family wasn't going to hand over everything they had at once.

Their agreement set deadlines for the royal family to give Vicente information on interesting locations for his group's pentagram hunt.

For now, Vicente would receive everything the royal family knew about The Pure Enclave within 6 days.

The Pure Enclave might not be the best place to get pentagrams for all the magicians who would be traveling alongside Vicente in just over 3 years. But it would certainly be an interesting place for Vice, Rory and Sarah.

King Seidel had mentioned such a place on purpose, after all...

However, other places could be more attractive for other members of the Fuller family, who would still be moving up the stages and eventually travel with Vicente's group.

As for the places that could help other family members, the royal family would only inform Vicente of these over the next few months.

Anyway, because of how this agreement was made, Vicente would be staying in Grandis for the next week. But that didn't go against his plans. That was all the time he and Rory needed to get on with their shopping in the capital!

In addition to things for the secret altar they had just found, they had to buy materials for the production of 4th-grade items.

Vicente had already run out of the materials he had bought in Chilldale, and he would need to buy more if he wanted to produce more 4th-grade items.

As such, being in the most important city in the kingdom, where there was the best supply of materials in the state, Vicente wouldn't miss the opportunity to place some orders during those days in Grandis.

He and Rory had plenty of coins after passing through the secret altar earlier, and they also had interesting things to sell to get more coins.

For the next few days, they would draw the attention of the local powers with their purchases, not bothering to hide their significant purchasing power.

...

Four days after Vicente and Rory arrived in the capital of the Seidel Kingdom, Princess Lina Seidel and her group finally arrived back in Grandis from their trip to Scott Province.

As soon as they arrived in the city, the group was surprised to discover that Vicente was already there and had even made a deal with the local monarch.

But this was exactly what the king wanted, so there was nothing for them to question or try to get involved in.

Apart from Lina, everyone returned to their respective duties around the city, having finished the business of the previous trip.

However, this princess couldn't help but take the matter of Killian and Nina to her father!
