Four days after the Mazzanti family's weapons test...
Near the easternmost border of the Scott Province, a creature with pale skin, dark red lips, and a serene look on his face stopped between the branches of the trees in that area. He montarily closed his eyes, slling a particular aroma.
As he did so, a smiling bow ford on his lips, while this being, who was already at the peak of the Mid-level of the 3rd stage, clenched his fists.
'I'm close to them!' He thought as he opened his blood-red eyes and looked ahead, aware that Layla and Casey were close by, no more than a few days' journey from where he was now.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but rember the face of that super-talented black-haired young man he had t months ago.
'I'll soon have you in my hands, young monster! There's no point in you trying to run away! Sooner or later, I'll drink your blood!' He moved again, but he couldn't help but feel full of energy to deal with Vicente.
Whether Vicente was where he was going at the mont didn't matter. What mattered was that he could reach his target if he found the person's friends, especially that magician's lover.
This vampire had great instincts. He knew that Vicente had started a relationship with Layla after they had escaped from him. He could sll it on that woman!
As such, he couldn't help but imagine that he would reach Vicente as long as he reached Layla!
'Wait for . It'll only take a little longer, young monster!'
As he disappeared from that area, several eyes opened in the vicinity of where he was standing!
...
anwhile, in Saltstar City...
After testing his weapons a few days ago, Vicente had returned to his family. He finished producing the remaining weapons and ammunition.
He was now fully focused on finishing the 4th stage robotic armors, while the strongn of his family were already properly ard and in positions around their headquarters.
anwhile, mbers of the local factions dominated by the Fuller family were on high alert for threats from outside the city.
Vicente and his n hadn't made it clear what these threats were, but they had been using the n of these local underworld factions to monitor most of the city.
If anything happened, they would quickly realize the problem and move!
But as much as the family was already poised for action, with their local allies and partners aware of their concerns and plans, Vicente remained at ho, hoping to have as much ti as possible.
For him, every extra day they had to fight the vampire was a victory.
He had enough materials to create six new robotic armors. He had already produced components for so of them, but it would still take him six days to finish the entire production process for these magical artifacts.
Every day gained was a new armor in their favor to face the vampire, so he didn't want the damned vampire to arrive in town so soon.
But even so, Vicente and his family were naturally anxious to deal with the creature and solve the problem.
From the mont they were free to act again without having to fear the persecution of a vampire, they would have a lot of things to do with the family's future in mind.
Not only that but living in anticipation of the arrival of an enemy was terrible. Nina's lessons had finished a few days ago, but she had been practically stuck at ho because of Vicente's worries about the vampire's arrival.
As such, as much as he wanted the creature to take a little more ti, he also hoped that it wouldn't take too long.
anwhile, he was at ho working alongside Benson and so of his family's 3rd-stage blacksmiths, who were there to assist him.
Seeing Vicente in action today was a great opportunity for each of those blacksmiths while he needed help to do the less important and more laborious steps of the robotic armor production process.
Benson enjoyed it the most, watching his disciple work with great attention and a smile on his face.
...
Vicente transmuted a few more tals and quickly used his skill to make a mixture of ingredients before shaping the component he was now focused on producing.
The mont it landed softly on the ground, small rays shot out from it, while the ground around it seed to vibrate with its magical fluctuation.
Benson felt a chill run through his body, already imagining the wonders that the 4th stage robotic armor would be able to do.
'This armor will be even closer to my dreams than the previous one.' The old white-haired blacksmith thought to himself as he looked at just the dismantled components of the armor.
When the last newly-produced component landed on the ground, Vicente let out a deep sigh as he stopped using his skills.
"I need to rest for a while." He said to the blacksmiths there with him, tired after more than an hour and a half of constantly using his magical powers.
Setting aside the materials in his residence's large training room, Vicente stopped next to a table with normal drinks and recovery potions.
He drank a potion first, before downing more than a liter of juice in one go.
Then, one of the blacksmiths stopped next to Vicente and comnted. "Your skills are supre, boss. It's a sha that the resources we need co from so far away and take so long to reach us. If we could reach places rich in high-quality materials faster, we could produce these little beauties on a large scale."
Upon hearing this, Vicente was reminded of sothing and couldn't help but open his mouth at the thought of the thods earthlings used to transport resources from distant places.
In the Polaris Realm, there were different ways of traveling. The fastest thod was individual flight, in which individuals use their own mana to move through the air.
There was also teleportation, but it cost a lot and depended on the construction of unique sites at the point of departure and the point of arrival. But it wasn't a viable thod for constant use, only for ergencies.
In any case, none of these options were interesting for carrying large loads. The only way to do this was via water ships, flying ships, or wagons, but they were all relatively slow and ti-
consuming.
However, there was a more down-to-earth way of transporting resources!
'Train. A train would do what this man suggests relatively quickly!'
