Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 980  Journey to Ponddown

”Whatʼs that?” Vicente asked the butler.

Zigam explained, ”Itʼs something for you to give to Lady Alicia. In fact, I want her to pass it on to her fiancé. Anyway, take this message from me to them. Theyʼll know what to do after that.”

Vicente saw that the man didnʼt want to go into details, so he asked no more questions. Willing to do this favor because of the good relationship he had with the Manifold Family, he received the box and the note, storing them in his spatial ring without ceremony.

”By the way, be careful on the journey to Ponddown. The city is quite far from our position, so be on the lookout for enemies interested in taking action against you there.”

”Far away? What do you mean?” Vicente narrowed his eyes. ”Isnʼt it only six daysʼ journey to Ponddown?”

”It is, but thatʼs enough for you to cross all of Light Cay to reach the east coast.” The butler smiled at Vicente, once again finding himself in the situation of having to explain things to the boy.

”Master, our methods of transportation can make immense journeys in a short time. Six daysʼ travel to Ponddown is the equivalent of two monthsʼ travel on Polaris Realm.” Prisiche said into her masterʼs ear.

Vicente could travel in Polaris Realm much faster than that using one of his more advanced skills. But he wouldnʼt make use of it in Light Cay, at least not for the time being.

In Polaris Realm, he was one of the strongest magicians, and the use of wormholes to cross great distances was superb. But in Light Cay, he was far from the level of the strongest on the island. He only had to make the mistake of entering a space independent of an average force or a combat area of two Grand Masters to put himself in mortal danger.

Until he got to know this world better, Vicente didnʼt intend to use such skills to move around!

”I see...” he said, recognizing his mistake, while being grateful for the information from Prisiche and Zigam.

He looked at the butler and said, ”Thank you for the information and the warning. Iʼll be careful on my way.”

He followed Prisiche and Zigam to the exit of the estateʼs built-up area, then headed towards Ravengarde airport, his artificial intelligence guiding him.

Halfway there, Vicente got an item to mask his appearance and then ordered Prisiche to assume the form of glasses, which he was soon wearing on his face.

As he entered the cityʼs grand airport, he read what Prisiche was telling him.

{Master, in Light Cay, we use flying vehicles for long journeys. Although there are other methods of travel that are faster and more useful to powerful magicians, for most of the islandʼs population, aircraft are the most viable method of transportation. Theyʼre not expensive and theyʼre fast enough to travel all over the island without wasting our valuable time.}

The airplanes in this place were nothing like those on Earth. Not only was their top speed much lower, which guaranteed longer journeys, but they were so big that they were more like flying cities!

At Ravengardeʼs grandiose airport, Vicente came across just ten of these vehicles, each shaped like a pawn, floating in the air while having thousands of small windows along their sides and rear.

As he watched the boarding terminal, he paid 3,000 stone coins, the value of the one-way ticket between Ravengarde and Ponddown.

As soon as he had his travel ticket in hand, he made his way to terminal 56, one of the airportʼs 200 boarding terminals, one of the 20 entry points for the aircraft he would use to travel for the next six days.

ʼIncredible! This looks like a huge spaceship, but these people use it as a plane!ʼ He observed the entrance to the level on which he would be traveling for the next few days.

The interior of it looked much more like the interior of a transatlantic tourist ship on Earth. There were dormitory corridors around most of the vessel, but there were also shopping areas where one could buy food, produce, cultivation items and even access to special cultivation rooms.

The vehicle had no requirements for its users to be in their cabins at the time of take-off or landing. The planeʼs users could simply do whatever they wanted.

ʼAll that... Wow!ʼ He thought silently as he reached an area where there was an immense wing of elevators with a hall that had no ceiling, or rather, no floors above it and went from the ground floor to the roof of the plane, with a view of dozens of floors.

As he walked along, he heard beeps alerting him that the craft had already taken off and begun its flight, which would last 10 days and would have 5 stops on its way, one stop every 2 days.

After two hours exploring the large Light Cay plane, Vicente discovered the prices of interesting features, but as he had already imagined, the prices were prohibitive for him. He then stopped off at a restaurant for his obligatory meal before heading to a cultivatorʼs cabin.

There were plenty of entertainment and leisure options on this huge craft, but he wasnʼt interested in any of them. His plan was simpler: to cultivate, use some books he had at his disposal to continue his studies, and train his skills, mainly related to his profession as a Real Sorcerer.

As for the many absorbable resources he had with him, he didnʼt intend to use them straight away. As he had only just started cultivating again and the pressure of the mana environment was still new to him, he wanted to reach the end of 2-Star before making use of special resources.

He wouldnʼt even see the journey between Ravengarde and Ponddown and when he least expected it, he would arrive at the nearby coastal city of Light Cay, where he would soon meet the woman he had to train.

The dangers of the journey were minimal inside the craft. It was when he arrived at Ponddown airport that he had to take care, as Zigam had warned him!
