- Chapter 875: Alternative Course of Action
After talking to the elders of the Qilin Tribe, Vicente, Victor, and Elmo were directed to an area where they could wait for the Roc who had advised them to come to this tribe.
The Qilins also had to prepare the Archmage who would leave with them, so for now they would stay with the tribe to wait.
Unlike the Elves Tribe, the Qilin Tribe didn’t consider foreigners or beings of other races as evil as the elves did. These creatures accepted Vicente’s trio into the heart of their village, welcoming them as truc friends of the tribe.
Vicente and the others would spend the next few days there, most of the time cultivating in the tribe’s special places, but occasionally interacting with these fantastic beings, learning more about the local history and even the specifics of cultivation.
As the days passed, Vicente focused on learning a series of new spells based on the new clements he had gained on this journey through the Majestic Treefrog Grove.
These new elements he had acquired through the Dragon Tribe’s challenges could not be used with his magical abilities related to his pentagrams and Magic Gems. After all, the powers of these essences had their natural affinities that could not be changed. The new affinities that Vicente had gained by going through the dragons’ territory could be used in spell formation or during cultivation.
The key point was to use them during cultivation, something that could speed up his cultivation speed since he could absorb more mana at the same time by having more elemental affinities.
Another way for him to gain new elemental affinities was to create magical artifacts that were different from the ones he could create before. With more elements at his disposal, Vicente could create interesting variations of special weapons and armor!
He had already played around with some of the Qilin Tribe’s metallic minerals in the past few days, helping to create artifacts for the tribe’s 5th stage members.
His results were magnificent enough to impress even the tribe’s elders, who, although they couldn’t use those 5th grade items, could see Vicente’s potential as a blacksmith when he reached the 6th stage.
Vicente could become the first 6th stage blacksmith on the continent and truly change the fate of these lands, even if he chose not to join the fight against the vampires!
On the seventh day of Vicente and his people in the Qilin Tribe, he was standing next to an Intermediate Archmage, walking through the village while his companions were meditating elsewhere.
The Qilin next to Vicente sighed as he looked at his people. “Vicente, you have to risk your life to reach the 6th stage. But after you become a Beginner Archmage, you won’t have to risk your life fighting Demien Bloodthorne. With your forging skills, you’ll be able to build an armed army capable of changing the fate of the continent.”
This creature, as well as the other elders of the tribe, didn’t know what Vicente had seen in the Divine Dragon Matrix. As far as he and the others were concerned, Vice would one day become a Magus and leave for the Upper Continent. But until then, he would have a long and dangerous journey until he became at least an Intermediate Archmage.
When he became an Intermediate Archmage, holding a total of 12 pentagrams, the elders of the Qilin Tribe believed Vicente would be strong enough to wipe out any threat that existed on the continent.
But until then, his journey would be fraught with dangers that could wipe him out at any
moment.
“I know you’ll probably want to go after your new pentagrams when you become an Archmage. But think about it. If you go back to your people and focus on creating 6th grade artifacts, you could do as much or more good than just fighting for humanity. Perhaps the best answer for you is to return home, live with your family, and produce weapons for others to fight this war.” The old Qilin advised soberly.
Someone with Vicente’s skills on the battlefield could be replaced. Perhaps there were no others like him, but if a group united several Archmages, it would certainly come close to what this human could do. However, the Qilin beside Vicente had no hope of achieving a forging result similar to that of the human beside him, even if all the continent’s blacksmiths were to unite.
He believed Vicente could achieve unimaginable greatness by being an ace up the sleeve of the vampire enemy forces instead of being the dominant warrior on the battlefield!
Vicente had already thought of this. In fact, considering his life as a gangster when he was on Earth and the beginning of his magical journey in the Polaris Realm, he saw a lot of sense in this move.
When he reaches the 6th stage, retreat south and try to improve his forging skills to create 6th grade or 6th stage artifacts. Then get allies and subordinates to fight for him.
This was the thing a mafia boss would do to protect themselves and ensure the success of their endeavor!
The problem was that Vicente wasn’t sure if he had the room to do what Qilin was suggesting!
“That would be wonderful, but will I be able to reach the 6th stage in time for Demien Bloodthorne to hunt me? If he leaves his seclusion, he’ll surely come after me…’ Vicente sighed as he thought about how difficult it would be for him to return to his family’s side and live making weapons for his people.
When Demien awoke, he would most likely have to go through a period of getting used to moving around, fleeing from the enemy and even confronting this vampire. It wasn’t the kind of situation where he could go back to his family.
Besides, when he reached the 6th stage, if he could do that at all, considering what the elves and dragons had told him, wouldn’t that be the best time for him to deal with Demien once and for all?
Assuming he could survive Demien while he was still a Paragon, he would most likely be able to deal with his opponent better, and it might not be worth it to retreat and
produce artifacts.
“That would be incredible. I just don’t know if I would have the space to follow such a plan.” Vicente commented with a sigh.
