Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 407 First Version of the Robotic Armor

By the next day, Vicente had used practically all of the 2nd-grade materials Benson had on his property for his students to use.

Vicente produced 100 new weapons and more than 5,000 bullets, all of which were 100% efficient, still 2nd-grade, of course.

He had advanced one stage, but since he had not studied the theory of the 3rd stage and he had used 2nd-grade materials, it would have been difficult to produce items of the 3rd grade.

In any case, these new weapons could withstand the full power of level 5 Acolytes and even be useful in dealing with Mages!

Benson saw this when he tested one of Vicenteʼs weapons and saw the power of the things his student had created.

As much as there were flaws in the initial design of this weapon, something Benson had already shown Vicente, he couldnʼt help but be fascinated by these weapons.

ʼThey really are fascinating...ʼ He thought about taking one of them and pointing it at things around his forge. ʼThe Mazzanti family is here to stay. With weapons as good as these, it will be tough for any power in the province to get rid of them...ʼ

While thinking this, Benson noticed a problem and alerted his apprentice, who was having a bite to eat while resting after hours of work. ”Vice, donʼt let your men use these guns in public. Have them use them only when they are out of town or on a mission to kill without leaving witnesses.

Even if the kingdom doesnʼt ban or restrict the sale of weapons, this upgrade to your weapons could threaten even the royal family. If the royal forces discover that you have weapons that can kill Mages, it will only be a matter of time before someone more powerful tries to kill you or take everything you have.

At that point, you will have nowhere to run. No matter how weak the Seidel Kingdom is, the king can influence even Paragons.

The Seidel Kingdom was a state with an average power of 2nd stage, a place where most magicians were Acolytes. There were thousands of Mages in the kingdom, but also a few Sovereigns. However, there wasnʼt a single Paragon.

But as Vicente already knew, coins spoke loudly in this society. Just as some Acolytes could use their wealth to influence Mages, there were Mages who influenced Sovereigns and Sovereigns who gave orders to Paragons.

Even if this state wasnʼt strong on the continent, the king had so many resources and people at his disposal that it would be relatively easy for him to get a Paragon.

In the worst-case scenario, someone like Vicente could even be hunted by Paragons, which would be almost impossible for him to endure.

He said to his master. ”I will make it clear to them, master. Iʼll only leave my most important men at headquarters with these weapons and those who carry out secret missions. My men will use simpler versions of my weapons in public operations.”

”Hmm, do that as long as you donʼt have Mages to carry these weapons. Once there are Mages in your family, no one will mind seeing Mages with such powerful weapons.” Benson said before he put one of Vicenteʼs weapons aside to finish the preparations for the robotic armor.

Vicente had already done all the training he needed to better understand his current characteristics and just needed to finish recovering to start his first attempt at the robotic armor.

The minutes passed quickly, and soon Vicente had put all the weapons away in his spatial ring. Since Benson had given him the materials used in the weapons as a parting gift, he volunteered to help his master with this project.

”Iʼm ready,” Vicente said as he looked at the materials, tools, and components lined up around him.

”When youʼre ready, start making the basic armor pieces according to what we agreed upon earlier. Once youʼve done that, youʼll join them together according to the assembly order Iʼve shown you.”

Vicente remembered the step-by-step instructions for assembling the robotic armor and soon began to use his special abilities, causing his Magic Gem to glow and his pentagrams to appear around his body.

A few moments later, the minerals around him turned into metals and parts that were useless for Vicenteʼs process of interest, and he quickly began to shape them as he wished.

It wouldnʼt be a difficult job, but it would be tedious considering the amount of parts he would have to produce. However, after more than 3 hours of going back and forth between resting and working, Vicente would finish making this first part of the armor.

He followed Bensonʼs advice and began assembling each smaller piece of the armor, using his skills to join the various pieces together in a way that only he could.

Since there was no need for him to make joints between the pieces, he could proceed with this part of his work more easily than Benson had expected, taking no time at all to complete the assembly of the smallest parts of the armor.

...

After more than 6 hours of working on the robotic armor originally designed by Benson, Vicente began assembling the larger parts of this artifact.

He was now acting on the advice of his master, who was actively using his skills to find flaws and possible methods to improve the final quality of the armor.

Meanwhile, Vicente carefully pieced together the larger armor pieces, gradually giving it a sturdy and imposing body shape.

It was very complex. But despite the many parts, it wasnʼt as bulky as Benson thought it would have to be to be functional.

With Vicenteʼs special skill, he had made his masterʼs design much less bulky, creating something that looked like ordinary full-body armor from a distance.

But inside this armor were complex mechanisms that would give it various special abilities, putting it on a completely different level from ordinary armor.

Vicente had a special feeling in his being as he finished assembling it. He felt a great affinity for this artifact with the same elemental affinities as his own.

Not only that, even though he didnʼt know if he had succeeded in Bensonʼs project, Vicente could already see that this armor was completely different from the metal doll that served as the butler of this residence.

He honestly didnʼt know if he needed to make any adjustments to make it better. But he couldnʼt help but look forward to putting it to the test and seeing different things, things that Benson had imagined a long time ago and thought impossible until recently.

After almost 10 hours of work on this armor, Vicente finished his work. He produced something wonderful, an armor that went from head to toe. It was completely golden and had a kind of aura that only powerful items could have!
