Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 758 Time to Awake

At the start of a new day, Dresbert woke up to the sound of Vicente's train horn, which arrived in the city early in the morning, crossing the metropolis of over 300,000 inhabitants.",

The 11 magicians who had come alongside Lauren and him observed the city with a unique feeling, as they saw people coming out of their homes to wave at them and smile in satisfaction.

When had a Dark Path magician ever generated such an effect? Normally, they were viewed negatively, with looks of disgust, contempt, and fear. Seeing in Dresbert looks of joy and hope on the faces of not one or two people, but thousands, contaminated the mood of those 11 individuals.

They knew this collective joy was not for them. Still, being welcomed, even if it was on someone else's account, was a good thing anyway.

Soon the train slowed down to a speed close to that of the people walking in the streets, who were watching this strange vehicle.

When Vicente and his group entered the train station, the strongest men and the rest of his companions were already there to welcome him and Lauren.

Everyone watched in silence as Vicente, Lauren, and 11 magicians descended the stairs of the main car.

Vicente stopped in front of the men of the city and got straight to the point. "You have one day to spread the rumors that there is now a safe method to travel between Dresbert and the altar of the order where the awakening can take place from now on. By the end of tomorrow, I want a group ready to leave with me for the first awakening that I will induce."

The Sovereigns Vicente spoke to nodded, showing they understood what needed to be done.

Before these people left, Vicente introduced his group. "Of the 11 magicians who came back with me, the 9 Sky Sovereigns will stay in Dresbert to join the Sentinels of the Order. So I want the sentinels to find them space, housing and put their names on the shifts around the city border."

As the local leaders looked at the nine individuals, three women and six men, they realized that these were Dark Path magicians. But it was clear that Dark Path magicians would be on their side in the future. After all, Vicente was going to revive the Cataclysm Order.

The locals didn't let their prejudice for Dark Path magicians impede Dresbert's survival and merely accepted Vicente's orders.

"Did you find them at the altar you passed these days?" Rory asked his friend.

"Yes, they were together with another individual, a Mid-level Paragon. I left him behind to be the chief guard of Metal City 2."

"That's good. We need as many Paragons as possible." Lina saw the good side of finding these magicians.

"And we'll have more Paragons soon. I'll leave some of my Dark Path resources with these nine friends." Vicente nodded affirmatively.

Over the years, he had collected a lot of Dark Path resources, things that would only be of use to him, Torne, Lauren, Nina, and Onyx once they were back in the Seidel Kingdom.

They would certainly get new Dark Path magicians in the future, but for the moment, there weren't many such individuals in Vicente's group to the south. So he intended to leave resources to help some of these nine Sovereigns approach the 5th stage.

As Torne had said before, the better the ability of the inhabitants of the central area of the continent to contain the advance of the monsters, the better the situation in the south of the continent would be.

Besides, these men were now Vicente's subordinates. So why not invest in them?

"What about these two?" Layla asked as she indicated the two Paragons next to Vicente.

Vicente looked at the man and woman standing there and said. "I'll leave one of them in Trevora Kingdom and the other, I haven't decided yet. If things are terrible in Trevora Kingdom, maybe I'll leave the other one there, too. If not, I'll leave they at another point on our journey south."

With that said, the group left the Dresbert train station, with Vicente following alongside his companions and friends to hear more about what had happened in the 21 or so days since his departure.

Fortunately, nothing had happened. The men around the border had eliminated a few creatures that had tried to advance against the fences, but none of the magicians had been hurt and all the monsters that had attacked had been killed.

Over 10,000 inhabitants began working in the fields around the city, recovering lost areas, reusing what could be reused, and starting new plantations.

In a few months, if the current situation continued, Dresbert's food problem could disappear.

With these 10,000 new workers, it had already given the local trade a new boost, with more people seeing reasons to stay in the city.

Many there wanted to leave the city. That would be a very dangerous thing to do, but many wanted to leave for the south. But with the revival of this city, some were pushing those thoughts aside.

For those who still wanted to leave, they could soon join Metal City 2!

Anyway, Vicente would soon finish getting up to speed and give orders to his group to prepare the first residents of Metal City 2. As soon as he returned from his first awakening there, he intended to visit at least 5 cities in the vicinity and repeat what he had done in Dresbert.

When he returned from this mission, it would be time for them to leave for Trevora Kingdom!

By Vicente's reckoning, he would need a maximum of four days in each city to repeat the basics of what he had done in Dresbert. He didn't intend to delve too deeply into the problems of any of these places, just to ensure survival methods for the towns, better chances for them to communicate and help each other.

So the hours would soon pass, with a new day arriving in Dresbert, and the first group of young people to go through the awakening led by Vicente emerging. It was finally time for him to awaken the first magicians on their journey!
