Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1072: Information from the Elves (2)

”Her master also wanted to go to Red Enclave, Senior Vicente. She told me about his teachings a few times during the stories she was telling me.”

”Was anyone else on that trip with them?” Vicente asked, not knowing exactly if that would help him, but valuing whatever he could get now.

”Yes, there were two other elven disciples of that man who left Amae with them and will never return.”

Larissa asked, ”Does the tribe simply allow its members to leave like that?”

”No, but these were no ordinary elves. Besides, the tribe has always been open to the possibility of its members exploring distant places. Thatʼs how the elven race spread to many lower planes and became native not only to Anicane but also to many other worlds,” said Lyra for the first time in this talk.

”What about you?” Vicente asked the 9-Star Magus in front of him, the strongest of the three, despite appearing to be the youngest and simplest.

Vicente wasnʼt fooled by her appearance, however. He could feel that the bone age of the little girl in front of him was substantial to the point that he had no doubt that she was the oldest one there.

”I was born in Anicane, but my mother and father came from Polaris Realm, and I was conceived on that plane,” she said dryly. ”My mother died during my birth, and my father disappeared not long after. So I have nothing to tell you about them.”

Vicente narrowed his eyes, looking at Garnot and the elf who had brought them there.

That representative of the tribe smiled subtly and said to Vicente, ”Lyra isnʼt here to talk about her own relatives. She is one of the oldest members of the tribe and is a great historian of the elvesʼ history in Anicane and the Polaris Realm.”

Larissa and Vicente returned their attention to the young-looking elf, not expecting this.

He asked, ”So what do you have for me, Lyra?”

For the time being, he had information that, for some reason, Tasarʼs motherʼs master saw Red Enclave as a place with answers to his ambitions. As he only had information from Tasar, who had basically listened to his own motherʼs opinion, Vicente couldnʼt say what the intentions of the womanʼs master were. Was his decision motivated by loyalty to the mission passed on by the elves of the Polaris Realm? Or did the old elf have another agenda?

Vicente didnʼt know for sure, but that was the major clue for him, since Leena didnʼt know where her father had gone.

The times of these individualsʼ departures and their arrivals in Anicane were also relevant, since he was going to investigate the path of these elves and perhaps pick up traces left behind by them.

The plan of the elves and dragons was to enable the flow between the Polaris Realm and the ʼSupreme Continentʼ again. So he imagined that, even if they had failed, those on that mission in Anicane would have left something behind.

Considering that they remained true to their purpose when they were in the Polaris Realm.

But since Lyra was so knowledgeable about the history of her people, Vicente was hoping to get more from her than from the other two elves.

She sighed as if she didnʼt want to be there and said, ”I can help you, Vicente Fuller. I know the purpose of the parents of these two, as well as yours. Other elves from the Polaris Realm and even members of other races from that lower plane have the same goal.”

Vicente remained silent, watching this little elven girl hint that she was going to tell him the most important thing of the whole conversation so far.

”But if you want to learn about what I know, youʼll have to give me something in return,” she said as she smiled for the first time since the beginning of this meeting.

”Lyra!” said the 1-Star Grand Magus there to go with Vicente on this visit. He did not believe that this old woman, covered as a child, would try such a strategy with a guest and friend of the tribe.

Vicente raised one of his hands, signaling the man to calm down.

”What do you want?”

”You have the same goal as them. Then take me with you when itʼs your time to leave Amae. I wonʼt help your group much in terms of power, I admit that. But Iʼll share with your group all the information you can learn while weʼre together.” She placed her cards on the table, showing how this exchange would take place.

”Do you want to leave your island?” Larissa asked, not having thought that someone with her background would want to leave. ”Donʼt tell me you want to go after your missing father?”

She looked at Larissa and vehemently denied it. ”That man is probably dead. That was over a hundred thousand years ago... What I really want is to see this world as it is and stop just studying it.

Polaris Realm interests me too, but Iʼll never get the chance to go there. In that case, Iʼd rather you take me to an island that I feel some affinity for. Iʼll explore this world before my life is over.”

Leena and Tasar looked at Lyra and sighed, both shaking their heads negatively. Lyraʼs comment might have sounded like a woman at the end of her life trying to make the most of the little time she had left. But the truth was that, even though she was the oldest in the house, Lyra had the most vitality left.

”All right. I wonʼt be able to take you with me for long, but Iʼll guarantee your safety until we find a place for you.” Vicente accepted her proposal. ”But before that, tell me what you know.”

She smiled, confident in his word. ”All right. What I do know is that you have questions about the Nine Paths, about how Polaris Realm has lost almost all its connection to Anicane, and you want to find a method that will at least allow your companions on that plane to come here more easily.

I donʼt know if thatʼs possible, but I do know that apart from you and the parents of these two here, 20 other individuals who were part of or allied with the Elves Tribe had the same purpose. They all had the same profile. They came from the Polaris Realm, and when they succeeded, they left Amae in search of other islands to strengthen themselves and fulfill their

purpose.

The Grand Recorder became curious about these cases throughout his shift and made a habit of documenting the interests of those who come from other planes and intend to leave the island in the first few years after their arrival. Thatʼs why I know a lot about cases like yours.”

She paused for breath before saying, ”Red Enclave really is a good destination if thatʼs what youʼre considering. But thereʼs an island halfway there that youʼll find even more interesting, Vicente Fuller.”
