Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 648 Departure from the Capital

Chapter 648 Departure from the Capital

After his conversation with Lina, Vicente returned to his business with Rory in the capital and finally received more detailed information about The Pure Enclave.

Over the next few days, the Seidel family would give him a continental map with the options for getting to The Pure Enclave, information about the dangers of traveling to such an area, and even what one could expect when entering such territory.

The information in question even included names of places in cities on the way to The Pure Enclave, names of specialists, and stores that might be interesting for Vicente's group to pass by or encounter on their journey.

There were also places, people, and organizations to avoid and even an explanation of the power divisions of each state they would pass through on their journey.

And with this information, there was nothing more for Vicente and Rory to do in the capital.

Rory had already bought everything he thought necessary for a group of family soldiers to start operating at the secret altar of the order they had found. On the other hand, Vicente had already placed all the orders he could afford at present.

So, on the morning of their seventh day in Grandis, they would bid farewell to the royal family and set off from that city towards their group's secret altar!

...

Time passed quickly after Vicente and Rory left the capital, and they were soon at the location of the secret Cataclysm Order outpost.

On arriving there early one evening, the two quickly left all the items Rory had bought for that place in the area.

They didn't set anything up but left the items for each space in their respective areas so that when the family men arrived, they could set them up themselves and organize the place.

Rory and Vicente would only take half an hour to do this until they stopped to cultivate mana in the training room of that place.

They would do this for a whole day, and then the next day, they would leave that altar under the protection of the 4th-grade robotic armor Vicente had left there.

...

"What will we do at this post once it becomes operational?" Rory asked Vicente just after leaving the tree that gave access to the secret altar in the depths of the forest they were in.

"You will come here with your group and establish a key post for our family in Diamond Province. Subsequently, each of the High-level Mages under your command will receive missions similar to the one you, Bart, and Sarah had when we arrived in Saltstar City." Vicente answered his friend's question as they moved away from the place they had just left.

"You want us to take over underworld factions in cities around the province?"

"Yes." Vicente nodded affirmatively to Rory. "You mustn't leave this post unless one of our men gets into trouble. But I want them to avoid trouble as much as possible. Let's take on the province's underworld forces without drawing attention to ourselves."

"I understand. That shouldn't be too difficult, but it will be laborious. We'll have to get to know the provinces' cities and the underworld groups in each area to decide which are the best targets... It might take a few months or even more than a year before we get any results." Rory warned his friend.

"I know, don't worry. Just do the work here so that when Nina and I come to this province, its underworld is already under the family's control."

"Don't worry, that's enough time for us to achieve that goal," Rory said confidently.

They would fly back to Scott Province just as they had on their journey to this area, which should take them around 20 days to reach the land where the metal city was currently being built.

Along the way, Vicente and Rory would talk a lot about their plans for the family's expansion, the number of men going to Diamond Province, how long it would take for the first group to leave Saltstar City and also about resources.

Vicente warned Rory that Lina would probably become their reliable contact there and would travel between Saltstar City and the capital from time to time. The group should watch her movements, as Vice intended to send messages via the princess.

Why have his men risked themselves traveling around the kingdom if he could get the princess to use the royal forces in his favor?

Anyway, Vicente had recommended that Rory avoid the Fuller family entering the capital or cities that were heavily dominated by royalty.

As much as he had his agreement with King Seidel, he wanted to avoid problems or things that would make him have to promise more to that man or even set him against the local monarch.

...

Vicente and Rory's journey back to Scott Province would be as uneventful as their journey to the kingdom's capital.

After about three weeks since leaving Grandis, the two would enter their homeland, where they would soon reach the site of the future Metal City.

For the time being, the place was far from the name 'city.' However, in the two months or so that Vicente and Rory had been away, the place had changed enough for the two to realize it as soon as they saw the area.

After Vicente greeted one of the beasts he had tamed on the outskirts of the land where his city would be built, he and Rory would see the view from that flat place.

After about two months, the site of the city's core and primary village was completely excavated to create a sewage system, drainage, and drinking water supply.

Meanwhile, the outlines of the first streets, the square, and the properties that would be built there were already ready. The men working there only needed to finish preparing the drainage, sewage, and water supply system in order to pave the streets and start building the first houses and businesses.

Meanwhile, a small water treatment plant and a sewage treatment plant had been built in the corners of the large area.

The men there had also continued mining in the place where Vicente had started mining before, while the hole he had left had not accumulated rainwater so far.

It rained during this period, and water accumulated there. But with that group's magical tools, they had removed the water in their path. As much as they wanted to create a large water reservoir there, that area was still too interesting for mining for them to abandon it.

After a short observation of the area from afar, Vicente and Rory would approach their people to take a closer look at the place.
