Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 757 Finishing the Works

After Vicente's order, the Sovereigns and Paragons in the group thought about moving, but Torne warned them to wait for Vice.

It would take Vicente about 10 days to build the metal city in this area and then another 10 days to build the railroad to Dresbert. That wasn't a lot of time for these individuals' trip to Dresbert to immediately make any difference, so it would be better if they all went together. That way, at least communication problems would be avoided.

With that, Vicente would soon finish placing the gems he had collected in Dresbert's temple on the altar and move on to exploring the altar post.

There was space for 250 magicians to live in seclusion, a large outpost, similar to the size of the temples of the Congregation of Revelations in cities the size of Saltstar City and Dresbert.

Halfway through Vicente's journey to get to know this post better, he heard from the Dark Path magicians that they had used up some resources, but there were still resources left for 3rd and 4th stage magicians.

There were also 3rd, 4th and 5th stage artifacts there, all of them functional to be used as soon as necessary.

In short, the area's wealth hadn't been totally consumed, and there were still things left for Vicente to use to his advantage.

He then made his magical deals with the 12 individuals. He obviously wouldn't trust the words of those magicians alone.

With that done before mid-day, Vicente left that underground construction, returning to the surface where he intended to build the metallic city of this mountainous area.

The 12 magicians, Lauren and Torne, followed at his side, with the 12 paying attention to their surroundings because of the monsters that might be around.

But their observation was unnecessary. The moment Vicente showed his first magical form to better sense the metallic minerals in the area, all the creatures nearby started running away.

Meanwhile, Vicente imagined what the town he would make there in this mountainous area should look like.

He didn't intend to do anything grand. His aim was to build the center of the city-on top of the order's secret altar-and then focus on the outskirts. He intended to leave a large space for Dresbert's men to expand the city.

So his goal was to leave a place with room to expand, but with solid electromagnetic defenses with strategically placed metal constructions to generate the defenses he wanted for this place.

With this in mind, he began to remove minerals from a site he had strategically chosen, first accumulating basic material, in order to construct the buildings over the next few days.

Meanwhile, the group watched him for a while, until Torne began ordering them to work as hard as they could to help Vicente.

Lauren just 'watched' as her brother worked, using the little of her mana that Vicente hadn't sealed to sense her surroundings and understand what was in them.

For the time being, she wouldn't understand much of Vice's plan. But over the next few days, she would see a strange, empty city emerge there.

...

The days passed and soon 10 days of work around the secret post of the order in this territory were over.

It was mid-afternoon now when Vicente moved the last piece of metal left for him to use, finishing constructing the last of the buildings needed.

The 13 Dark Path magicians and Torne watched him finish his work as the weather closed in, with lightning flashing from the sky towards the surrounding area.

But the area they were in was fully protected. As he finished his work, the special effects of the metallic city appeared, making something like a barrier appear around the city, like a dome.

The buildings were positioned so the place had the shape of a semi-sphere, while a large fence covered the city limits.

With a radius of 5 kilometers, this place could accommodate over 200,000 people when fully developed!

Of all the structures, the most important, the train station, was ready, and all that remained was for Vicente to create the line and the trains that would travel from there to Dresbert!

Vicente's subordinates watched the completion of the site with interest, looking at the marked out streets in the area, the staircases he had made and much more.

Vicente had laid out the place so that Dresbert's men could easily build what was needed for people to live there in no time.

As soon as he had finished, he looked at the Mid-level Paragon of the group and said. "You'll stay here, old White. In the future, perhaps I'll move you to other locations. But for now, stay in this place to administer the altar on my behalf. Protect this city if necessary."

"I'll do my best, Altar Master!" the man said firmly.

So, Vicente would meditate for an hour to rest from his arduous services in this place. When he was finished, he would start building the tracks that would lead to Dresbert!

Alongside him, Lauren, Torne and the other 11 magicians would set off for that city, 120 kilometers away.

...

The next ten days would pass quietly for Vicente and his group.

The area they were in had practically no 5th stage beings, so they didn't face any difficulties when building the railway line between the altar and Dresbert.

Towards the end of the line's construction, Vicente took his time to build a train capable of carrying up to 100 passengers, but also 10 tons of resources.

Given his current powers, this railway would be even safer than those he had left behind in the Scott Province of the Seidel Kingdom.

Having finished building the train that would transport people and resources between his new metallic city and Dresbert, he set off with his companions back to that city.

The time had come for him to leave his men in the city and arrange for a group of young people and family members eager for the awakening of new magicians to set off for the metallic city.

Once a group large enough to spread the news around Dresbert experienced the awakening in the metal city, it would only be a matter of time before the place became trustworthy. From then on, people would start looking for him to awaken the powers of their relatives.

This would be the chance for Vicente's group to get in touch with young talents before any continental force and start rebuilding Cataclysm Order!
