Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 776 The Congregation of Revelations

Jasmine was silent for a moment, unsure if her organization was to blame for the continentʼs current problems. However, she had agreements with Vicente and trusted Layla a lot. If the two were taking this approach, she had to at least give them a vote of confidence and try to understand the matter better.”,

”All right. I understand.” She sighed and decided to study the case on her own to come to her own conclusions.

It was pointless to argue with Vicente and Layla. She had nothing to use in defense of the Congregation of Revelations in relation to young Fullerʼs attacks. For now, the best thing to do was to back off, accept the situation, and gather information.

Layla saw the look on her friendʼs face and figured Jasmine would try to do what she herself had already done. She then pulled out a spatial ring from her storage item and handed it to her friend.

”All the traces I found in the temples our group passed are here. You can look over them in your spare time and come to your own conclusions.”

Jasmine looked into Laylaʼs gray eyes and felt even more doubtful about this womanʼs behavior.

Vicente dropped the subject and asked. ”Do you know anything about the Congregation of Revelations after the fall of the northern region? We have some information from when we passed through the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn. But weʼre not privy to many details.”

Even if she wanted to, she couldnʼt hide anything from him. So she sighed and said. ”I know that the new Congregation of Revelations headquarters is in Tamor Dynasty, the south-westernmost state of the Polaris Realm.

The temple in that stateʼs capital is now the organizationʼs headquarters, and it currently has 11 Paragons: one High-level, three Mid-level, and seven Low-level Paragons.

Their plan is to protect themselves against the wave of monsters that began with The Purification and to prepare for the next moves of the high-level vampires. Theyʼre recruiting new members for the organization and calling the principal members of temples around the south to the dynasty.

If youʼd taken another month to return, you probably wouldnʼt have found me here. I, and you too, Layla, have been called to the capital of the dynasty.”

”Eleven Paragons? It seems the Congregation of Revelations has fallen on hard times.” Vicente muttered to himself, feeling the impact of the vampiresʼ attack on this continental force.

”Yes, unfortunately. Demien Bloodthorne attacked the City of Angels personally, killing over 60% of the templeʼs experts. From what I heard, he alone killed over 100 Paragons that day.”

Layla clenched her fists, affected by this information. It didnʼt matter if the Congregation of Revelations had betrayed the magical community. Losing 100 Paragons to a single opponent was terrible for the entire continent.

If Demien Bloodthorne was that strong, then defeating him would be a big problem for their group!

”Thatʼs a shame,” Vicente said with sincere regret.

Ultimately, whether they had betrayed and used the continentʼs forces, the Congregation of Revelations would still be important to the continent if they hadnʼt lost so much.

He walked ahead of the two women, towards the exit of the Awakening Platform, with both of them following behind him without delay. Lauren was clearly with Vicente, listening to the groupʼs conversations in silence, still thinking about the correction she had suffered earlier.

”What do we do now?” Jasmine asked. ”If Layla and I donʼt move, itʼll only be a matter of time before we run into trouble. If what you said is true, then theyʼll be able to find us whenever they want.”

”If they can do that at this terrible time, let them come. But I doubt this will happen. It would simply be too dangerous to move around for months in dangerous terrain on account of Sovereigns.”

”You donʼt intend to ally yourself with them in the future? After all, they still have a lot of Sovereigns and a few Paragons. As far as I know, Tamor Dynasty isnʼt doing so badly.

Itʼs kept several of its Paragons and can be considered the last safe haven for magicians on the continent,” Jasmine said as she looked at Vicente.

”If they can keep working against the monsters, good. However, I wonʼt ally myself with those responsible for the current calamity. And Iʼm not sure that the dynasty will remain the last refuge for magicians on the continent. Soon Seidel Kingdom will be an even better alternative!”

With that said, he left Layla and Jasmine at the entrance to Grandisʼ temple before heading with Lauren to Seidel Magic College, where Newton was supposed to be.

Vicente didnʼt understand why Newton was still in the capital if Nina had gone to Metal City. But he could clearly feel the magical aura of the guy he wanted to talk to now.

Heʼd soon be passing through the gates of the college, where students and family members of students who hadnʼt left Grandis in time were currently living.

Classes at Seidelʼs Magic College were continuing, despite everything. The institution that had previously only been present in the kingdomʼs capital was now also present in Metal City, where half the teachers were teaching the students who had moved there.

The other half of the teachers were in the capital, working to keep training magicians so that the kingdom could get through this difficult period in its history.

After passing many huts and tents built to house the families of the students left behind, Vicente arrived at the main classroom, where he soon came across Newton giving a lecture to a group of 40 students.

”Professor, Iʼm sorry to interrupt your class.” Vicente said as he appeared at the entrance to a small amphitheater, drawing everyoneʼs attention.

Newton looked at Vicente and his eyes lit up, looking at this young man and realizing who the black-haired girl next to Vice was.

”I see... Youʼve succeeded in your journey north.” Newton murmured with a smile on his face, before turning to his students and saying, ”Continue studying from where we left off while I talk to my friend.”

He went ahead and greeted Vicente, then took the two youths to his office, which was just a short walk from the collegeʼs teaching area.
