Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1054  Information and Business

The elf from 5-Star didnʼt judge Vicenteʼs ignorance during the young manʼs stay in Polaris Realm. Naturally, those from lower planes knew almost nothing about the truth of Anicane until they came to this great world.

Since the ʼendʼ of the Nine Paths, various limiters have blocked these planesʼ access to Anicane and even imposed seals on knowledge about Anicane on these planes. As the elf tribe had already noted, everyone who came from the lower planes almost always had completely wrong ideas about what this great world was. They naturally had unrealistic expectations.

Vicenteʼs promise to his companions in the Polaris Realm was not unusual. None of the elves judged him for it, but they understood his noble goal as well as his good fortune.

”The heavens have indeed been kind to you, young Vicente,” she said with a smile. ”Most of those who arrive in Anicane would definitely arrive on the island so far from their goals that they could never fulfill any of their old promises. You, however, have come to Amae on your own merits and here we will help you, however little.”

Vicente felt the anticipation in his being rise at the elfʼs words.

”Unfortunately, I wonʼt be able to put you in touch with any elves from Polaris Realm. We even have records of several of them coming here over the last million years since the end of the Nine Paths. But the only one of them who is alive at the moment is not in Amae right now. In fact, I donʼt know where he is, so you may never find him in this great world.”

Vicente lost the growing smile on his face, not expecting to hear such negative news so quickly.

The elf finished, ”But thatʼs not all bad for you. Some of the elves in your plan left descendants and some of them are still alive. I donʼt remember their exact names or where they are, but I know we can find them and help you meet some of them, at least.”

She didnʼt know many elves, but she knew the ones who had been most important to her tribe during her lifetime. Some of the elves from Polaris Realm had achieved great things and gained fame. Many didnʼt know the origin of these elves, but as one of the strongest of the tribe, this elf knew the origin of these individuals.

Vicente thanked her, saying that he would love to be able to talk to these heirs of Polaris Realm elven lineage.

Another elf said that he should stay with Nanʼs group and continue with his affairs in the tribe and eventually the elves would come to him to take him to the meetings they could arrange. It might take a few days for this to happen, because the tribe needed to research the family tree of some former members and define the current situation of these heirs. But he could expect news within one to two weeks.

Vicente didnʼt want to delay the delivery of the Fairy Tribeʼs weapons and said that they could make this identification and keep the information for him. He would return to the tribe in the future to sort it out, but he wouldnʼt wait now.

Nonetheless, Nanʼs group intended to spend the night at the tribe and only continue their journey the next day, heading back on the road to their territory. As close as they were to the Fairy Tribe, they would still need to travel to deliver the allianceʼs weapons before they could finish their mission.

So Vicente continued alongside his group, soon being escorted to an area where they could stay at the elvesʼ camp for the night.

They would rest and have the chance to taste the elvesʼ food in their first few hours there, until, at dawn, the elven elders would return to their side with the data on their elemental essences.

...

Still in the middle of the night, Vicente met up with the elves, this time without his traveling companions.

Vicente was joined only by Prisiche—in her form of glasses—and the three elders of the elf tribe.

They sat around the rest area that Vicente had been given by the elves, a large tent the size of a bedroom, close to where the rest of their group was in the heart of the Elves Tribe.

There, one of the three opened a golden box with various inscriptions and symbols that Vicente couldnʼt tell what they meant, emanating from that point a strong magical fluctuation.

The 5-Star Elder said as she presented it to Vicente, ”Here we have the elemental essences of the tribe that we will trade. Here we have 6 essences of lightning, 4 of earth and 2 of light.”

Vicente saw 12 small stones of different colors inside that box, each with its own signature, a fresh experience for him.

ʼNot all essences of the same element are the same. This clearly has to do with the power of the one who gave rise to that essence.ʼ He concluded on a primary observation supported by Prisicheʼs information.

Having Prisiche quickly process the information he came into contact with and make it available to him was very convenient. Vicente thought he could deal with matters 3 times more efficiently because of her, while he could be quicker to react to situations and even attacks in the middle of combat because of this artificial intelligence accompanying him.

He realized that, of the 12 essences of the Elves Tribe, only 3 of them were comparable to the water essence he had with him.

ʼThese are essences that came, for the most part, from magical beings of only the 7th stage. They have their value, but not as much as I would like.ʼ

”How much do you ask for these essences? I have a water essence that Iʼd like to include in the negotiation.” He presented his item, making the elves notice its origin and look at each other to decide on the exchange price.

The elves didnʼt have helpers like Prisiche on their side, but they were too sensitive to natural essences to realize the real value of that blue gem in Vicenteʼs hands.

When they had a consensus value to offer, one of them said, ”Young Vicente, we accept your gem for seven of our essences.”

This elf put the earth essences, all of which came from 7th stage beings, forward, along with three lightning essences.

There were now three essences of lightning and two of light. Of these, one of the light essences came from an 8th stage being and two of the lightning essences came from a magical creature of the same level of power.

The 5-Star elf added, ”In addition, we are offering the other two Seventh Class gems as a gift for our alliance, and the final and most valuable three essences for the cost of 3 Eighth Class pills, or something of similar value.”
