Taking the Mafia to the Magic World C.809 News about the Taboo Technique

?"What? You destroyed it?" Lauren lunged at Vicente and grabbed him by the collar in an instant, not believing he had done something so stupid.",

Vicente saw Lauren's angry expression and grabbed her waist with both hands, pulling her away from him.

"Destroying it was the best decision I could have made. Such a brutal technique should not exist. It has too much potential to cause trouble.

The world needs beings of the Dark and Light Paths. If it becomes available, both sides will try to wipe each other out, and more disasters like The Purification will happen in the future." Vicente said calmly, while Nina and Eve took his side in the matter.

It seemed tempting to become stronger by using people from the opposite direction or even enemies. But how sustainable was that?

They had already experienced the negative consequences of this technique, so it seemed wrong to both of them to insist on using it.

Lauren clenched her fists, feeling her brother was too naive. Just because the Congregation of Revelations had used the technique the wrong way didn't mean they would use it the same way!

"Say what you want. You've wasted something that could get us to the 6th stage quickly."

"You haven't even chased your fifth pentagram yet, Lauren. You shouldn't worry about the 6th stage." Vicente told her with a smile on his face. "Anyway, I'm staying in the city for a few days before I leave. Take the opportunity and go hunt your pentagram."

"Tsk!"

She left without looking back, following his advice to get her fifth essence.

With Nina, Eve and Nova watching her, Vicente asked. "Whose 5th stage auras are those in the city that I don't know?"

Eve turned her attention to Vicente, sighing as she thought of a more positive topic. "They are potential allies. Envoys from the Chutha Dynasty, Tamor Dynasty, Kenyth Empire, Andoria Kingdom and the Storm Fjord are in the city waiting for you to confirm the agreements we've made over the past few days."

"Oh? What agreements are those?" He was interested as he sat down.

"The envoys from each of these states heard the rumors about what you were doing in the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn and Trevora Kingdom. They came to the city with 4th and 5th grade materials for you to make weapons, ammunition, and armor for them.

I've agreed with each of these groups that you can use their materials to make artifacts as long as a portion of the production stays with us. They've all agreed, so all you have to do is agree for us to proceed with these deals."

Vicente smiled as he heard Eve's sweet words.

What the Scott Province, or even the entire Seidel Kingdom, lacked compared to other areas he had visited on his travels was mainly mineral wealth.

Sure, this area was poorer, and the population was weaker on average. But with the right weapons, even weak people could contribute significantly in the current context.

But for that, Vicente would need good quality materials in large quantities, something he didn't have.

The deals Eve had made in the last few days were especially interesting to him. They brought allies and partners in the fight against the monsters, but also new defensive artifacts to his domains.

"All right. Organize the groups to come to me and plan my schedule for the next few days. I'll give priority to making artifacts for them." Vicente said, while Eve smiled, having already done most of what he asked.

"Everything should be ready tomorrow morning. Then you'll have the day off." She said before taking her leave to sort out the part of this matter she hadn't solved yet.

Vicente stayed behind with his younger sister and Nova when he heard Nina sigh and say.

"Changing the subject, you won't believe this, brother. One of the emissaries who came to town to do business with you is Rory's father!"

"What?" He looked at Nina with wide eyes, surprised to hear that.

"Hehe, I was shocked too. Rory's father is a big figure in the Kenyth Empire. He's a Low-level Paragon who traveled around the kingdom a few decades ago when he was just a Sky Sovereign."

It wasn't uncommon for people from stronger areas, where there were Paragons, for example, to travel to weaker areas where the maximum level was similar to their own.

Why was that? Basically, the opportunities of an area where there were several Sky Sovereigns could help these cultivators in some way, but without the dangers of an area where there were Paragons.

Such places were perfect for the temporary training of magicians who wanted to reach higher levels while avoiding the problems that could destroy them.

Many high-level sects and clans sent their juniors to weaker areas, especially if they showed a lot of potential. This had been the case with Lauren, but also with Julian, who had ventured further south on his own when he met Rory's mother.

Vicente and Nova would soon hear more local gossip from Nina, updating them on the situation in the city, their companions and allies, but also on the visitors.

After a few minutes of chatting, Nova left to write some letters to the official forces of the kingdom, but also to the Sentinels of the Order.

Until a few days ago, the Congregation of Revelations was no longer welcome in Vicente's domain. But from now on, it was an enemy organization, a force to be eliminated if it entered his domains!

Nova would spread the news of the latest assassination attempt to the kingdom's forces, the Sentinels of the Order, and even to neighboring states still outside Vicente's domains.

Everyone needed to know how the Congregation of Revelations had allied with vampires in the past, got a technique from this enemy race of humanity, eliminated the strongest magicians from the Dark Path, and helped cause the current disaster.

Not only that, but the temple members didn't just make a mistake once, they repeated it by trying to sacrifice Vicente in order to become stronger through the cursed technique!

Since the technique could be used against both Dark and Light Path magicians, everyone should be on the lookout for the technique that perhaps more temple members had their copies of!
