Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 979 Navigation System

Chapter 979  Navigation System 

At a large vintage-style estate with gentle curves and several pillars on its façade, Vicente found it in stark contrast to the modern surroundings of Ravengarde.

Ignoring the design of the building, he had an easy time to access the area without the need to present himself at the entrance. The men outside a guardhouse next to a golden gate recognized him, calling his name and asking if he was all right or when his next official fight would be.

Some merely nodded in approval in his direction, their expressions filled with admiration and respect. In Light Cay, strength was even more important than in Polaris Realm, and although they had never met Vicente before, at least a dozen individuals greeted him as if he were an old companion.

As he accepted the warm welcome with a curious look on his face, Prisiche said to him while they made their way inside the building, "You're a celebrity in Light Cay. Few of the island's inhabitants can say that millions of people know them."

Vicente ignored the comment from the lively woman beside him as he observed the garden of the Manifold Family's subsidiary property in the city.

The guard in front of him, a 9-Star Archmage, glanced at him out of the corner of her eye as she walked ahead, an excited smile on her face that was hard to ignore.

"If you want to say something, just say it, miss. I'm no different from you." Vicente sighed as he realized he had a fan in this place.

She smiled and asked, "Mr. Fuller, you're more sensitive than you look... I was just curious about your cultivation. Have you just advanced a stage?"

Vicente had no way of hiding his current cultivation. He could even use some kind of technique to suppress his spiritual fluctuation, but with constant fighting in the Combat Center, he could hardly keep this secret for over 10 days. So he wasn't hiding by going ahead with his current plans.

"Yes, that's the case."

"Incredible!" she cheered, slowing her steps to walk beside him. "You must be eager to hunt down your seventh essence now, right? If you want, I can join your team, hehe. I'd love to take part in the hunt for your pentagram."

Vicente didn't suspect this guard, nor did he intend to accept such an offer, so he took her comment in jest. "I'm really looking forward to gaining a new skill. But I still have to study my options and prepare…"

"So you're not going out to hunt your pentagram now?" she asked, becoming more serious, almost disappointed. "I thought you were here to notify the family of your departure."

"No, I'm here on other business."

"I see. Then I wish you good luck. If you find it interesting to have me on your team, you can find me here. I'm a talented hunter, don't forget that," she recommended, stopping in a large corridor inside the estate and nodding toward a glass door over 10 meters high.

He nodded with a smile as he looked into the round, black rabbit eyes of this woman, and headed into the indicated wing.

He walked into a large room that seemed to be a historical representation of the workplace of some king or high-ranking nobleman until he saw a man waiting for him beside a large map.

"Mr. Fuller, it's good to finally meet you." The man, dressed entirely in a black suit, extended his hand, which Vicente immediately shook.

"You must be Butler Zigam. Asahel mentioned you to me," Vicente greeted the 7th stage individual in front of him, already so accustomed to the bodily differences of people in this world that he paid no attention to small details.

Vicente got straight to the point. "Butler Zigam, I don't want to dwell on this. I'm here to get recommendations on how to get to Ponddown to start my training cycle with Alicia."

"So soon?" The man was surprised, not expecting Vicente to be the one coming to ask for information to start this mission.

But given how efficient Vicente had been in nearly a year of a partnership with this group, having worked hard to generate new consumers for the family's products, the man was only a little surprised.

"I have a few issues I want to deal with that will take me away from seeing Alicia for a while when I start. I'd rather begin my meetings with her now and address those plans after I've seen her."

"I see." The man folded one leg over the other before tossing an item that looked like a pen to Vicente.

But it wasn't a pen at all, but a holographic map that immediately activated in Vice's hands as the butler spoke. "It is an artifact with a real-time Light Cay positioning system. It shows you exactly where you are and what's in your surroundings. It has the most up-to-date version of our maps, so it's very efficient. It's accurate over 95% of the time, which means you can rely on it to make your way.

Use it with your artificial intelligence and you can easily travel all over the island."

Vicente looked at that item with a shocked look on his face. He honestly hadn't expected to receive something so valuable and so easily. In Polaris Realm, an item that gave information about an entire region would be enough to revolutionize and cause the rise and fall of states!

"That..." He hesitated for a moment.

The butler recognized his mistake as he saw the troubled look on Vicente's face and laughed. "Oh, I'm sorry for dealing with this so casually. Where you come from, that kind of information must be pretty critical, right? Here in Light Cay, it's not new to anyone. Everyone has been well aware of the island's territories, cities and special areas for a long time. This kind of map in your hands serves much more as a support artifact for common activities than for conquests and the like."

Vicente felt like a country bumpkin coming into contact with technology for the first time, for a moment feeling embarrassed. What earthling was he acting like that because of a navigation system?

'It seems that Polaris Realm has completely taken over my old ways... Will the same happen here in Anicane?' he asked himself as he breathed more slowly, calming down, but somewhat worried.

"All right, I'll use this to get to Alicia."

As Vicente stood up, intending to leave, Butler Zigam held up one of his hands, indicating for him to wait.

"There's something else I'd like to talk to you about. Ponddown is a six days' journey from our location. That's quite a far journey, so there's something I'd like to ask you to take to Miss Alicia's residence for me and save me the trouble."

The man summoned a box the size of a watch case and threw it in Vicente's direction.
