Taking the Mafia to the Magic World C.841 Time to Recruit Allies!

Shortly after arriving in Dresbert, Vicente and the leaders of the city's Sentinels of the Order were at the best restaurant in the area, being served lots of meat and drinks, a gift from Vice.",

"Altar Master, it looks like your cultivation hasn't slowed down at all since you came here." Said one of the city's Low-level Paragons.

Among Dresbert's Low-level Paragons, most of them were Dark Path magicians, the ones Vicente had left in the area earlier after visiting the order's secret altar near the city.

But even among Dresbert's Light Path magicians, there were now recently promoted Paragons!

Not only that, but Vicente could sense that with the right resources, 20 more 5th stage magicians could emerge from this group!

"Although the disaster is sad for everyone, I don't deny it brings many opportunities." Vicente said as he threw a spatial ring in the direction of the man who had spoken first. "This ring contains the organs of superior vampires for you to make pills and potions.

In addition, I intend to hunt vampires throughout the state before visiting the Trevora Kingdom. Whoever wants to accompany me, I'll give them the opportunity to consume the vampire's blood I kill."

All the men's eyes lit up at this opportunity.

Over the past three years, they had fought hard to reach the current position in the nearby cities. Many had died, others had been crippled, and they had faced not only monsters but also superior vampires.

Still, the number of men who had consumed vampire blood in the area was less than five!

Accompanying Vicente now could be an opportunity for many of them!

"Thank you for this opportunity, Altar Master. We'll do our best to honor your efforts!" said the strongest in the area as he bowed his head to Vicente.

Vicente asked. "Tell me about the results of this area in the years I've been away. How many Paragons have appeared in the kingdom's Sentinels of the Order?"

"56 Paragons. We've had many opportunities to hunt monsters and produce cultivation resources for our members. Since we had many peak Sky Sovereigns before, this progress came naturally." One of the Low-level Paragons explained.

"Unfortunately, we lost five of our comrades and at least two dozen 4th stage cultivators. Once the Venerable left for the south, everything went smoothly. We could better connect with the surrounding cities and contact the Trevora Kingdom.

But a year and a half ago, things got worse, and more powerful monsters started to appear and cause trouble. Fortunately, we were much stronger by then, so we've been able to deal with the worsening crisis so far. But you've come back just in time, Altar Master. We are on the verge of a fragility that could change everything we've achieved."

"I can imagine." Vicente sighed. "I was forced to act against the vampires when I discovered their plans. The bastards were kidnapping magical professionals to get weapons for their groups.

I even faced some armed monsters that gave me a lot of trouble to defeat. Since then, things have gotten worse; they've started hiding more efficiently and attacking more deadly."

"Sigh! It looks like they're preparing for the awakening of the 5th stage elders of the vampire coalition." One of the three women commented.

"They say the first 5th stage superior vampire will circulate the continent again in only a year and a half." One man closest to the local soothsayers said as he looked into Vicente's eyes.

"That's why I started my current journey. For the next six months, I plan to be in the northern region to hunt for pentagrams and allies." Vicente announced to everyone present.

"Six months?"

"Are you also looking for allies, Altar Master?"

Vicente nodded as he listened to their questions. "I can't delay my movements any longer... Besides, it's time for me to recruit powerful magicians to accompany me north.

Do you know of any human or bestial Archmages in the area? Unfortunately, Paragons won't be able to accompany me on this journey."

The people there were silent for a moment, regretting not being able to help Vicente on his journey north while they thought about where they could point him to find these allies.

Personally, they didn't know of any human Archmages nearby. If there were any in the central part of the continent, they were either in hiding or had just caught up with their progress.

As for the magical beast societies, there were a few tribes that could probably help Vicente with 6th stage allies.

"I don't know any newly promoted humans. Perhaps the Venerable will have better results in the Trevora Kingdom. Until recently, that place had the most Mid-level and High-

level Paragons in the region.

But if that's not possible, I suggest you go through the Hungry Canyon and look for the high-level tribes in the area. There should be some Archmages there."

Vicente had already thought of that. Earlier, he had passed through The Hungry Canyon, evading the tribes' territories in the area. With the help of King Seidel, who had allies in the Trevora Kingdom, the map he had used on that trip almost six years ago had helped him stay away from powerful beasts in that and other areas.

But now, all he had to do was the opposite of what he had done on that trip and go straight to the beast territories of The Hungry Canyon!

"Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll do that." Vicente murmured before sipping his wine.

With that in mind, he would hear more about the situation of the city and the other cities now connected by the same fence, how difficult it had been to gather these security areas, but how worthwhile it had been.

With seven cities connected by the fences he left behind, over 3 million people could now come and go in the area, growing food and magical resources, mining minerals, awakening magical powers in Metal City 2, and more.

By joining forces, the seven cities were stronger together than apart, which is perhaps why they had survived several attacks by peak 5th stage monsters during Vicente's time in the south of the continent.

At the end of the meeting, Vicente, now aware of the situation in this area of the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn and its Sentinels of the Order, gave the local forces one day to prepare to accompany him on the vampire hunt through this area.

The next morning, a group of 50 men, most of them Sky Sovereigns, would leave Dresbert at his side to go in search of the superior vampire blood!
