Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 649 Metal City Timetable

Chapter 649 Metal City Timetable

Upon entering the camp, Vicente and Rory were soon greeted by the people in the area.

Most of the men were working, so after waving to them and saying a few words, these individuals soon turned their attention to their respective works.

But the leaders of the construction of this place were soon around Vicente and Rory talking to these two, curious about what had happened in those two travels but also prepared to inform them about what had happened so far.

No incidents involving beasts have occurred in the last few months. On the other hand, human groups have passed through the area on only two occasions but left without causing any problems.

Sarah was nearby without hiding, so few would have tried anything against the individuals there.

Apart from that, the group had been busy these weeks building the foundations for the future city that would be built there.

For now, they were only going to build the central square and the buildings around it. However, the entire drainage, sewage, and drinking water system was already being prepared to receive future expansions without any need to alter the part of the city that was now being built.

Meanwhile, although the terrain was good and the structures there didn't have to be complex to support simple buildings, every construction needed a solid foundation.

The foundations were being prepared, and soon, the homes and metal buildings of this place could begin to be erected.

Vicente and Rory listened to all this in a 15-minute conversation with the professionals behind this town's early development until one of them asked.

"How long will it take for the village on this site to take shape?" Rory asked as he looked at the area's chief builder.

"I believe that for this place to be considered a village, we would have to finish building the whole area around the central square." Said an old man with reddish-white skin and white hair on his face. "Each building will take an average of 15 days to build. So I imagine we'll have this place in the shape you want in about six months."

"Good," Vicente commented. "I intend to make this place look like a sustainable village after that period for the nobles who might be interested in joining us.

Those of your group interested in bringing their families here, authorize it after the first buildings are finished. I will pay 10 gold coins a month to each family that moves to this place at that time." He said as he looked at the construction leader there.

The other head builders and magic professionals heard this and were impressed.

For Vicente, 10 gold coins wasn't much. But for every worker there, it was an absurd amount. If the workers listened to such an offer, it was possible that the work would go faster just so they could bring their families to this place!

With 10 gold coins a month, their families wouldn't have to work to have a good life there!

"How long will this last, boss?" One of the men asked.

"Until this place becomes a city of at least 5,000 inhabitants. By then, it will have enough opportunities to motivate people to want to be here. But until then, I'll pay my workers 10 gold coins a month for the mere fact that their families migrate here," Vicente answered sincerely.

Five thousand inhabitants might not seem like much, but it would take more than a year to build infrastructure capable of accommodating less than half of that population with the workforce they currently had.

But even if these individuals could only take advantage of this opportunity for a year, that would be enough for all of them to earn a lot of coins.

Their families didn't have to come to the area and do nothing. Their family members could come to this place to help with the work and earn more coins.

So even though it wouldn't last long, the people there couldn't help but relish the possibility!

After this conversation, Vicente and Rory would accompany the head builders to analyze the works in the most important part of the area.

It wasn't possible to understand much about what was going on there without an explanation, but with those men by their side, it was easy to imagine what the area would look like in a few months' time.

After doing this, the head builders returned to their work, leaving Vicente, Rory, and Sarah alone.

"Were there any problems while we were away?" Vicente asked the black-haired woman next to him.

"No. You know, builders argue occasionally, but it hardly ever becomes a physical confrontation." She commented in response.

"Well, arguing is fine," he said as he looked into her eyes. "Anyway, you'll be here for a while longer. Rory will have to attend to other matters, but when another Sovereign becomes available to come here, I'll swap shifts."

"Don't worry about me. Staying in this place isn't bad." She smiled at him.

"We'll stay here for two days." He looked at her in a way that Sarah couldn't help but understand his motivation. "I'm going to help with the metal extraction once again and get some rest from our journey here."

She said nothing while Rory shook his head, understanding what Vicente intended to do.

'Lucky son of a...' The young redhead laughed to himself as he walked away from the two.

He had his girlfriends around the province. One of them was in Saltstar City, and the other was in Millfall. But he wasn't like Vicente, who seemed to have a woman everywhere he went!

...

A few more days had passed since Vicente and Rory had entered Scott Province.

After passing the construction site of the future metal city, Vicente and Rory left after two days there and were now near Millfall.

For the first time in a long time, Vicente was passing close to this city, which he had left shortly after forging the end of the Mazzanti family and had not returned to until that day. But it wouldn't be today that he would return to where his magical journey began.

He would follow Rory directly to Martell Village, which was only a few hours' ride from Millfall on horseback.

With Rory and Vicente's current flying speed, the journey would only take them 40 minutes.

So it wouldn't be long before Vicente and his friend stopped in front of the village, a place he hadn't been back to for almost two years.

The village was currently completely under his control, so the moment he and Rory entered it, neither of them had to hide their identities.
