Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 759 Great Result

By the end of the day following Vicenteʼs return, 85 people had left Dresbert alongside Vicente and Lauren.”,

Among these people, 7 were important members of the Dresbert government, Sovereigns, people to accompany the awakening led by Vicente, but also to get to know the place that would become Metal City 2.

For the time being, the site was not a city, but a protected plot of land with the structure to become one. After Vicenteʼs return following the awakening of some magicians, the colonization of that area would begin.

Besides these 7 leaders of Dresbert, 78 ordinary citizens, of them, 22 young people aged between 14 and 15, were there for the awakening together with their closest family and friends.

Vicente made a point of bringing as many people as he could on this trip, thinking about how this would cause good winds in his favor when these 78 people returned to Dresbert. If each of them talked about the awakening with three other inhabitants, and those spread the news to three others, rumors about the awakening in could spread quickly.

There were far more than just 22 young people waiting for the chance to awaken their magical powers in Dresbert. But the group had found it difficult to gather more young people, as many families were suspicious and didnʼt want to be the first to test it.

But with the success of this group arriving at this very moment at the Metal City 2 station, Vicente was certain that he could change the current situation and awaken the powers of more and more young people every day.

Once he could do that, getting young talents for his family would become as easy as taking candy from a child!

...

As they reached the most important future city in the territory of the former Kingdom of Eternal Dawn, Vicente led the group there for the first time, taking them straight to the altar of the order.

There werenʼt many buildings or things to get in the way of the group in this area, so they soon made their way to the building in the center of the city, where the entrance to the secret altar was.

When they arrived there, the 85 individuals accompanying Vicente and Lauren observing the surroundings, noting the barriers in the area. The Mid-level Paragon was already waiting for them in front of the entrance to the building.

”Altar Master, welcome back. I see your plans were successful. Congratulations.” The old Mid-level Paragon said with a smile on his old face.

”Hmm, letʼs go ahead to the Awakening Altar. These young people here are eager to begin their magical journeys.” Vicente got straight to the point, leading the group into the underground part of the area.

The people there followed him, with the Sovereigns of Dresbert chatting amongst themselves, talking about how safe the area seemed to be, and how the group could build a city as big as Dresbert there.

Dresbert had grown wild amid the kingdomʼs tragedy. The city had no room for its over 300,000 inhabitants, which meant that some people lived poorly and had less privacy than anyone would have liked.

If they could move a few tens of thousands of Dresbertʼs inhabitants to this location, they could solve their cityʼs urban problems and populate this promising place.

Not only did the security of the future Metal City 2 look very good, but the concentration of mana in the area was almost double that of Dresbert.

This was obviously because of Vicenteʼs actions!

While these men talked about the future, the group arrived at the Awakening Altar, which had a platform and obelisk itself similar to the Awakening Platforms of the Congregation of Revelations.

But unlike that organizationʼs venues, which had plenty of space for people to follow the awakening of young people, at this station, there was only room for a small group to follow the event.

Hardly over 100 people could fit around this platform, which meant that, in the future, either very few family members would accompany the awakening of their loved ones, or no one at all could do so.

The 85 people there with Vicente, Lauren and the Paragon saw this as a big positive!

It was terrible to awaken your powers publicly, under the gaze of countless people, whether they were related to the young people awakening their abilities. In a place with restricted access like this, it would be harder for situations like Laurenʼs happening!

Vicente planned to do this and become the only one able to observe the awakenings of young people, monopolizing the possibility of approaches to talented young people within his altars.

”Are you ready?” He asked the 15 boys and 7 girls, eagerly waiting for their Magic Gems.

When he saw these young adults nodding positively, Vicente circulated his mana through his second magical form, causing the Throne of Darkness and its two pentagrams to appear.

Now he was no longer worried about hiding his two magical essences. He had already shown himself to simply too many people to worry about leaks.

Wearing his negative essence, the necklace around his neck glowed as it was touched by the darkness of Vicenteʼs power, quickly causing the mana in the area to change.

The obelisk in the center of the platform in front of the observers glowed, before shooting a burst of mana at the ceiling, stimulating the many Magic Gems there to glow, making the ceiling of the area look like a starry night sky.

Seeing a similar reaction to what happened in the temples of the Congregation of Revelations, the relatives of those 22 young people watched the awakening with sparkles in their eyes, returning hope to their loved ones.

Not being able to awaken their powers was a terrible thing. Even more so in the current situation on the continent, where anyone who didnʼt have magical powers could quickly die.

By awakening their magical powers, one would at least have a chance to grow up, use adversity to oneʼs advantage and eventually reach better positions.

As long as there were magicians emerging, there was also hope for change!

When the first gems disconnected from the ceiling of that area and flew into the foreheads of the young people, even Lauren couldnʼt help but smile for a moment, ʼseeingʼ this special moment come true.

All 22 young people would succeed in their awakening, bringing fantastic results at the end of the 1-minute awakening ritual, with 13 of them awakening yellow-grade talents and 9 green-grade talents.

That was a fantastic result!
