Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 639 Foundations of the Future Metal City

After three days, Vicente had mined a large quantity of metals.

If his men only used the metals he had mined in those three days, they could build 30 houses the size of the Fuller family's headquarters!

With all these metals piled up near the excavation site, Vicente finished what he was doing in this area, leaving a huge crater on one of the steepest sides of the land.

There was now a hole 55 meters deep at its deepest point, 210 meters long and 96 meters wide.

When the group finished collecting ore in that area, they could build a large water reservoir for the future city that would be built there.

But that crater was done for now, as there were rocks with useful metals for the group there.

Vicente would be leaving very soon, but the men in that group were fully capable of mining whatever they needed in that place.

Since they couldn't compare Vicente's mining speed with their own, even though there were already so many metallic materials, they would start mining the next day.

The group would focus on building the metal city from now on, but part of the group would focus on producing metal sheets for future use.

After finishing the promised metal extraction, Vicente left the area where he had been working for the past few days and went to the center of the territory where his city would be built.

He then made his three pentagrams appear and manipulated some of the most valuable metals he had there to create a square box-shaped metal structure in an excavation area of the same shape as the one in that area.

He quickly created the walls and floor of the structure, fitting them into the ground, while the surrounding men helped him fill in and fix the structure to the ground.

While the men did what they were supposed to, he created the internal area of that structure, which included a small warehouse, a dormitory, and a cafeteria.

He created the stairs to this three-story underground area before creating the entrance/exit, where he put a hatch that could only be opened from the inside or by someone with his skills.

When he had finished producing this place of refuge for his men, Vicente helped the workers in the area by casting a spell based on the earth element.

He covered the structure with earth, leaving only the hatch uncovered, about 90 centimeters high, visible on the ground.

He also created support bars around the hatch to facilitate his men's movement.

"All right, the place is ready. You need to install small devices inside it, such as lighting items and furniture. But the area is ready to be used.

This bunker here can withstand the powers of high-level 4th-stage beings, so you'll be pretty safe here as long as the hatch is closed." He said as he pointed in that direction.

"You should be fine using this place unless a Paragon or some kind of special 4th-stage monster shows up here."

The people there sighed when they heard that, relieved they wouldn't always have to sleep in tents.

Vicente ordered some of the men over, "Put a big tent over this area. It will be better if the place isn't visible to beings passing by."

He wanted to create his metal city, which required that the buildings and structures not be hidden under earth and other materials.

But as well as all construction needing bases buried in the ground, the group had to have a safe and inconspicuous place for the time being. Only when the city began to take shape would hiding not make sense.

The place where they were should be very safe. Apart from the fact that the beasts in the vicinity were already working for Vicente and that this was a not very busy place in a province 'dominated' by the Fuller family, there was no way they could have foreseen the kind of trouble that could arrive there.

Monsters were moving and becoming increasingly frequent around the kingdom, so Vicente preferred to be safe for now.

The men then moved to create a tent in that newly earth-

covered area, quickly concealing the entrance to the large underground structure there.

With that done, Vicente gave some orders to the builders, reminding them that, as much as they were going to start by building a village, this place would one day be a city, so the village would have to function as a base for the city.

He didn't want to waste time and materials rebuilding in the future.

He also told the men not to forget to create areas of conviviality, such as squares and gardens. As much as this would be a metal city, it needed to have spaces like this.

Ordinary citizens need leisure areas; otherwise, they will be too stressed and lose efficiency in their activities.

After all his orders, he and Rory said goodbye to the group and flew off toward Diamond Province.

"What now?" Rory asked his friend.

"Now, we go to the place I told you about regarding the Cataclysm Order. There's a secret altar near the kingdom's capital, so we won't be late for our appointments with the king. That will take a couple of hours at most to sort out once we get there." Vicente said as he flew side by side with Rory.

"What are we going to do there? Apart from collecting resources, do you want me to stay behind and wait for our men who will go there in the future?"

"I want you to lead this outpost in the future," Vicente said as he looked at Rory's face. "But for now, your job will be something else. I will build a robotic armor to guard that place for us and receive our men when they go there."

Vicente's robotic armors could do a variety of things when not used by magicians. They weren't as powerful when they had someone supplying them with mana, but they could be used as metal vigilantes.

"While such an armor will protect and keep the place under our control, you will organize what we need to get that place up and running.

While I talk to the king, you can buy what you need for the place. Then, we can get the altar ready before we go back to Saltstar City.

When the group we will send there is ready, you'll travel with them to begin our operations in Diamond Province." Vicente declared, showing that the time was coming for their family to start operating outside of Scott Province!
