Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

'That must be the case, master,' Torne said in Vicente's mind, realizing what the young Paragon had in mind. 'It would be too much of a coincidence otherwise.",

'Why would they order something like that? Wasn't it their goal to allow some high-level magicians to stay behind to ensure good essences for them in the future?'

Torne replied. 'Maybe they want that, but not as much as we imagine. There should be a few 5th stage monsters in the south of the continent. In order to ensure that the weaker groups of monsters dominate the territory, they may have hunted the Paragons of the south region.

But there still being a High-level Paragon in Trevora Kingdom is a terrible sign. It could mean that this state will be attacked by 5th stage monsters soon.'

'That's worrying.'

Meanwhile, Lina couldn't help but sigh in relief. She was sorry to hear about the old Paragon's death, but she was also worried about her family's current situation. But at least this negative event for her kingdom wasn't aimed at her father and the rest of the family.

The other members of the group commented on what they had heard, worried about the future and the actual situation of the Seidel Kingdom.

Vicente sighed and said. "Very well. I'm going to help the Trevora Kingdom strengthen its defenses and offensive methods against the enemies. As you are still standing, it will be easier than I had planned."

"How do you intend to do that?" The white-haired woman asked curiously, still doubtful that Vicente was only there to help them.

"I'm a blacksmith, so I'm going to help you by building 4th and 5th grade artifacts. Obviously, I will not give it to you so easily. You need to provide me 3rd to 5th grade resources. Give me as much as you can and the result will be much better."

"Oh? A 5th stage blacksmith?" That woman opened her eyes, wondering how good Vicente could be, given that he seemed to have the power of an Archmage.

Thinking from that point of view, she didn't find his approach so bad.

"Yes."

"All right, I'll prepare all the Stormhold materials for you." She accepted, willing to go ahead with it to see where the current situation would take them.

She had already sent someone to notify the king about this strange group, so collecting these materials and using them would probably give them enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

If this group didn't just have good goals, they would have a way of fighting them by then!

"Do you need anything else?" She asked after one of her men left to collect materials in the city.

"Hmm, I want to see your wounded people. I'll help your group recover."

"Can you do that?" One of the Sky Sovereigns asked as he looked sharply at Vicente, doubting it.

"Just show me the way and you'll see. After I've healed your wounded, I'll start building a defensive fence along the ridges of the Green Hills. The current defense you have is good, but it has many weaknesses. I'm going to build something capable of disrupting even Paragons."

The Sky Sovereigns looked at each other, but said nothing. For now, they could only let Vicente speak those grand words and act as he pleased. Whether he would put their plans to the test was another question they were not yet sure of.

The city leader sighed before gesturing to Vicente, showing him the way to the wounded in the city.

Given the situation of Trevora Kingdom, which was still standing with a royal family at its head, the numbers of professionals in key areas such as alchemy, medicine, forging, etc. in the territory was not small. With many more professionals than had been left in the independent cities of the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn, Trevora Kingdom, and its cities had fewer casualties than Vicente had seen recently in that other territory.

In Dresbert alone, Vicente had helped almost a thousand wounded people. But in each of the other five cities he conquered in that territory, he helped similar numbers of people.

After a few minutes walking around Stormhold, he came across only 200 wounded people, a number below what he had expected for this city.

But 200 magicians, most of them 3rd stage, but a few dozen 4th stage magicians, was enough to make a difference to the city's daily life.

As soon as he was introduced to the city's worst cases, men and women missing parts of their limbs or between life and death, Vicente didn't hesitate to act and show how serious his words were.

Even the most skeptical of those local leaders could no longer doubt him when they saw him helping the locals, using a terrifying power to bring lost limbs back to reality, healing people close to their deaths.

The city leader would follow all this with narrowed eyes, eyebrows firmly knitted together, seeing not only the shocking level of power of a young Low-level Paragon, but also the fact that he only healed those people, making no strange moves.

Given the small amount of wounded in Stormhold, in just one hour of action, Vicente would help recover 100% of the wounded people, emptying the local hospital to the shock of the injured's relatives and the doctors in the area.

At the end of such a demonstration of power, Vicente was still energized enough not to need to cultivate right away.

...

"That... What you've done here, I have no words to describe my gratitude." The woman, at the same level as Vicente, said with difficulty, her voice trembling as she bowed her head in respect.

The Sovereign leaders of the city did the same as their leader, truly grateful to Vicente for his willingness to save those people.

"Don't thank me. If you want to repay me, help me with a group to expand the city's defensive position. It's not interesting being so close to the monsters." Vicente said as he pointed towards the city's exit.

"I'm going to expand the local protection area to 5 kilometers beyond the base of the mountain. I'll do this on both sides of this mountain range, creating a safe strip of defense for the kingdom."

With those words, Vicente left his group in Stormhold and set off towards the base of that mountain, where the main watchtower for the area was located, as well as monsters nearby.
