Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 800 Beginning of the Province's Recovery?

After leading the awakening of the 7 posts of the order, Vicente turned his attention to where he was, the cultivation room in his house in Martell Village.",

After completing his breakthrough and activating the Awakening Altars in the southern and central regions of the continent, he left the room and soon found Nova and Rory waiting for him.

"Vicente, congratulations on your breakthrough!" Nova said as she hugged her fiancé, while Rory smiled at his friend.

"You've become a Mid-level Paragon! How do you feel about it? Is it as incredible as it seems to us?"

Seeing the look on the young redhead's face, Vicente smiled and said. "It is better. I just activated several altars of the order and I don't even feel tired. I'm much stronger than before!"

Rory smiled as he nodded to Vicente and patted him on the right shoulder. "I hope you become a High-level Paragon soon."

"Hmm."

They walked out of the Fuller estate and soon hit the busy streets of the central part of the city.

Martell Village was now a large agricultural city of 200,000 people, many times more than when Vicente had lived there with Nina.

Little more than a decade had passed since Vicente had left this place, but what had been a village had become a large city, visible from afar. This new city would be visible even to someone floating in the sky near Millfall.

Even though the city had exploded, the place didn't seem that disorganized. There were areas of the city where there were no brick or wooden buildings, but rather tents. Still, all these places were well maintained and organized, quite different from the situation in Ironcrest and Millfall, places Vicente had just passed through before coming to the village.

Every day, the village was building new houses to better accommodate the refugees, but given the current circumstances, the pace of construction was not encouraging. It would take at least a few months to build all the houses needed, even with all the labor available in the city.

The residents of the area were aware of the problems in their path and did not make unrealistic demands of the Fuller family government.

Vicente and Nova had learned this when they arrived in the city three days ago, so as they walked through the central streets of the village, they were already accustomed to the current reality.

"Since I've advanced to the next level, I'll be departing for Saltstar City tonight. I think you can continue to expand the fenced area without me for now." Vicente said to Rory. He had already produced armor, weapons and fences around the city before his seclusion.

"Yes, we're not as fast as you, but in the state we're in now, we can quickly merge our security zone with Millfall's security zone. Together, our cities could become as important as or more important than Metal City." Rory agreed, looking forward to the future.

With Vicente's actions throughout the province in recent weeks, the movement of resources within the province and with other areas of the kingdom had already improved greatly, with more people and resources moving between the surviving cities.

With more land available for cultivation, trade was returning to pre-crisis levels, and the darkness was proving not to be as bleak as everyone had thought until recently.

Despite all the problems and the negative outlook for the future, there was hope for people like Rory because of the powerful 5th stage superior vampires and Demien Bloodthorne.

"Take care of the village for me, Rory. I'll finish my work in the area before I leave with Nova."

Rory nodded as he watched Vicente leave the built-up area of the village before Nova went to the soldiers' post in the area. As the leader of the army in the province, all army posts in the area were under her command.

...

Over the next seven days, the news that Vicente had guaranteed the safety of all the remaining cities in Scott Province—currently home to 2.5 million people—spread and the climate in the province improved by the day.

Even though many of those 2.5 million people were "safe" in their cities, they had been living in fear for several months, without much hope for the future and without even a chance to leave their cities safely.

Even though Vicente's trains were still running in the province, the number of train rides had dropped drastically before Vicente's return. With the news that monsters had destroyed railroads and trains in Diamond Province, many people no longer trusted this mode of transportation.

But with Vicente's return and his actions to strengthen the province's railroads and rail lines, the locals regained their confidence in this mode of transportation.

With more people and resources returning to the area, many of the inhabitants who had been separated into the cities by the crisis now could migrate to more interesting places for themselves.

The men of the Royal Army and the Fuller family were acting to contain certain movements and prevent migrations that would weaken rather than strengthen their cities. But within limits, the people of the province could now move about again without the substantial risk of being killed by monsters.

In addition, the order's altar in Diamond Province had become known throughout the kingdom, and word spread that every day at noon, Vicente helped young people awaken their powers.

Families were using Vicente's trains to move to this area in the north of the kingdom, a completely free train ride for those with children who were just entering the adult stage of their growth.

As positive news of the province's recovery spread, with virtually every indicator in the area improving, Vicente moved forward with his plans.

After leaving Martell Village, he took care of the surviving places that remained to be visited before beginning his journey to Saltstar City.

He had now traveled halfway to this important city for the province and his life, and was currently stuck in the middle of his journey to improve the Saltstar City & Metal City railroad.

With only Nova and Torne at his side, Vicente would reach the city in only four more days, where he would witness the monster destruction that had started the worst of the disaster for the Seidel Kingdom.
