Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-744

"Where will this Awakening Altar be in our kingdom?" One man in the group asked, obviously curious whether this place would be accessible to the residents of Dresbert.",

"About 120 kilometers southwest of where we are." Vicente stated the approximate location of the secret altar that his group would go to after dealing with matters in the vicinity.

Those local experts hadn't completely lost the twinkle in their eyes, but 120 kilometers was far more than they thought they could take young people without magical powers without too much damage to the group.

But then Vicente added. "Don't worry about the distance. I'll devise a method for people from Dresbert to get there safely. This place is in the middle of a forest, but I will create a small city there that will be safe for people to live in. Then, I hope you and other Sentinels of the Order will expand the area under our control in the future to allow people to travel there from their cities."

None of the current residents of Dresbert understood how Vicente would do such a thing, but they assumed he had a method, trusting him for the time being.

"Do you intend to build a railroad and a metal city?" Rory asked his friend.

"Yes. Don't worry about how long it will take me to do it. At my current level, I can build this railway in less than 10 days and finish the city at a similar time. We'll stay in the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn for only a month." Vicente answered the doubts that each of his companions had.

He then looked at the group of local Sovereigns and said. "For these plans to work, I'll need your group to help me spread the news that it will be possible to awaken magical powers in this location.

For now, I just want you to spread rumors that there is such a place nearby. When I have the place ready to receive people, you will help me form a group to awaken their powers and spread the news."

Once a group of young people and their families got the word out that it was possible to awaken powers on the altars of the old Cataclysm Order, it would only be a matter of time before rumors in other cities they visited gained veracity and convinced families and young people to head for Vicente's posts!

"We'll certainly do that." The woman in the group said confidently, as this was a very simple request from their new leader.

"Very well, I want your group to gather all the 5th grade materials they can get in Dresbert. I'm a 5th stage blacksmith, so I'll create some powerful artifacts to leave with you once my group leaves to continue our plans."

"Is the Senior a blacksmith?" One man who looked older there asked, smiling as if he had heard the best news in the world.

"Yes." Vicente nodded affirmatively and then added. "Also, bring the maps of the region with the cities you know haven't fallen yet. I'll visit the cities nearby and bring more men for the Sentinels of the Order.

Your numbers are too low to carry out my plans alone. So let's increase the size of our group."

Half of that group stood up to take care of the matters of materials and maps, while another person took on the task of creating the rumor ordered by Vicente.

In the blink of an eye, only five local Sky Sovereigns stood in front of Vicente and his companions.

Vicente looked at his group and said. "Rory and Sarah, you two are going to meet as many Sovereigns of the Sentinels of the Order of Dresbert as you can and test their powers. Bring back a report on the magical affinities and powers of each of these 91 local Sovereigns within the following days."

As Rory and Sarah left, Vicente looked at Lina and Casey. "I want you two to take care of the administration of the sentry group while I'm producing equipment or meditating. If any threats arise, talk to Torne or Onyx. I'll leave you two to it."

The two young people agreed to follow Vicente's order, staying with him and the others.

"Layla, you're going to the local Awakening Temple to collect Magic Gems with me. We'll take this post and present the members of your organization with a chance of survival."

Gulp!

The five remaining Sovereigns heard that and thought Vicente was preparing to kill the members of the local temple, a force that had left behind only Mages.

"All right." She accepted, aware of the things Lauren had said, still believing that her religion wasn't all lies, but accepting that she couldn't do much at the moment to change her companions' minds.

Vicente then looked at the remaining Sovereigns there and asked. "Are there any wounded in your group? I'm not a doctor, but I have a support skill capable of helping injured people."

"Is that true? We have a group of 15 seriously injured companions and another of 12 Sovereigns who would need a few weeks to recover, Senior," said the tired-looking golden-

haired woman.

As many as there were 91 Sovereigns in the city, 27 of them could not act because of their injuries!

With only one 4th stage doctor remaining in the entire city, the situation of these 27 individuals was not promising!

"What happened to Dresbert's doctors?" Layla asked as she walked with Vicente and Lauren, going after that woman and two other local Sovereigns taking them to the wounded.

Lina, Casey and the others stayed behind, with Torne having left Vicente's body so quickly that no one around had noticed him move.

"It's a long story... Sigh! We had 13 4th stage doctors before the calamity began. But 6 of them left the city to go south as soon as the conflict with the monsters began. Another 3 died in combat, while 3 more fled the city after the disappearance of our Paragons and the news that the Congregation of Revelations' core was moving to the southwest of the continent.

In the end, only my husband was left behind." The blonde woman explained to the group as she made her way to the local hospital.
