Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 937  Machine City

For a moment, Vicente was silent, standing in the middle of the platform of 9 meters radius, facing the six individuals with humanoid bodies, all dressed in the same type of clothing, obviously members of the same force.

One of them was not so different from Vicente, obviously a human. But the other five, well, they were very or slightly different from humans.

The most human of the five had rabbit ears and eyes. Everything else about him seemed perfectly human. The most different of them had a lionʼs head, a lionʼs tail at least two feet long, and a very muscular body, like that of a bodybuilder, something rarely seen in Polaris Realm.

As he watched wide-eyed, Vicenteʼs senses gradually worked, revealing to him the true cultivation of these beings.

These were Magus, possibly peak Magus, individuals at a whole stage above Vicenteʼs current level!

Gulp!

ʼWhat kind of place is this? Why does it look like Iʼve been summoned to this place? Does evolution to the Supreme Continent take us to predetermined places?ʼ

Several questions popped into Vicenteʼs surprised mind.

But these six individuals were used to the mindset of newcomers to their sect.

One of them stepped forward and formed an indigo pentagram in the air, while a refreshing aura emanated from him and covered Vicenteʼs body.

”Vicente Fuller, you must have many questions. Thatʼs normal. But for now, try to follow us and listen to our presentation. The people of Polaris Realm call this place weʼre in the Supreme Continent, but weʼre not really a continent. We call our world Anicane.

Right now youʼre on the Light Cay, one of the over 10,000 islands of Anicane. Specifically, you are in Stonewall. We are all members of Stonewall, and from today, you will be one of us,” said the human in the area.

ʼAnicane? So, this is a different world from Polaris Realm? But the elves and dragons told me that our ancestors could travel here by sea in the past...ʼ Vicente became more curious after that personʼs words, uncomfortable about having to deal with strangers so soon after arriving in this place.

”Is this an obligation? Iʼd really prefer you to let me go,” he said, a little uncomfortable dealing with strangers after coming out of a war against vampires.

But after saying these words, he turned pale, not believing he had said what he had just thought without intending to express it.

The person using a pentagram smiled along with the others at the effects of his power.

The human introduced himself. ”My name is Myles, Vicente. Those behind me are Primrose, Eleanor, Jethro, Eleazar and Azariah. As for your question, no, thatʼs not possible. We will not force you into anything, but youʼll understand later that it wonʼt work for you to be without a sect.

For now, come with one of us. Youʼve just arrived, so letʼs finish your application to the sect. You also have to leave the Nine Paths Platform. Others might arrive at any moment.”

”Others? Before me, thousands of years have passed since the last one from Polaris Realm came to the Supreme Continent,” Vicente said, still using the old name given to this place by the people of the Polaris Realm.

One woman there, Primrose, smiled at him and explained. ”Like Polaris Realm, there are 10,000 other worlds. Every day, new Magus, or less often, special cases like you, arrive on one island of Anicane. There are no rules for the arrival of new magicians, so it can happen that two arrive on the same island on the same day... You donʼt want to stay there for long. The result of another personʼs arrival on the Nine Paths Platform is not good for anyone on it.

Vicente looked at this other platform and felt a shiver run down his spine.

He stepped forward, arriving next to these six individuals, with the human acting against him by gathering his pentagram back into his body.

”Primrose, he seems to hear you. Youʼd better take care of introducing him to the sect,” said the human called Myles, while the woman with the lips and paws of a cat, a small tail at her back, nodded at him.

The others stood around as they watched Primrose lead Vicente out of this area of the Nine Paths Platform.

Vicente followed her as he looked back at the surroundings, entering a corridor from which he could see a great deal of light in the distance.

But this corridor was really lengthy and until he reached its end, it would be enough for him to hear a lot from Primrose.

”All right, Vicente Fuller, where shall we start?” She asked herself before beginning. ”Right, youʼre from Polaris Realm. You must have heard stories about that Supreme Continent over there, right?”

”Yes, quite a bit.”

”Forget everything you know. Until a million years ago, things in Anicane were the way the people of your world must think to this day. But everything changed when the Nine Paths were destroyed.

I wonʼt go into details now because itʼs not convenient. Thereʼs a lot of history involved, things that wonʼt be that important to you. But if you want to know more about it, visit the Central Library when you get a chance.

In any case, forget what you know about us. It wonʼt help you at all, and might even hinder you.

You are now in Stonewall, the major force of the Light Cay, a magical sect that focuses on forging. You came here because of your compatibility with us, so youʼll soon be able to get back to developing your profession.

For now, donʼt think too much about it. Iʼll escort you to your new home, where you can rest. Youʼve just ascended, so you have a lot to process. On your plane you were the strongest, but here youʼre just an average magician—maybe a little above average, considering you ascended as an Archmage.

In your room, you will find all the basic books you need to read while you rest, as well as some resources, your uniform, and your calendar. Donʼt worry, youʼll have a safe place to learn and adjust during the next year.”

When she finished speaking, they reached the end of the corridor outside the large, windowless building they were in.

Vicenteʼs eyes widened as he saw the outside of this place, where flying boats, giant robots, floating trains, vertical and horizontal elevators, and even cars filled the view ahead.

She smiled at him and said as she patted him on the back, ”Welcome to Machine City, Vicente Fuller. This is your new home as of today.”
