Chapter 663 Preparing for the Hunt
Weeks after the inauguration of the Saltstar City & Metal City train line, Nova and Layla had advanced one level and had finally become Sovereigns!
As Vicente had instructed, Nova left the city with a group of Fuller family soldiers shortly after she had advanced a level to hunt for her fourth pentagram.
The plan was for her to have her fourth pentagram before Vicente left the kingdom, so she didn't have much time.
As for Layla, Vicente wanted to take her with him on his journey to the north of the continent. So she was still in the city.
She remained in the city because her promotion was new, and she primarily served as Jasmine's guard.
If she were to be sent to other Congregation of Revelation posts, since she had just been promoted, she would have time to report to a new post.
The most important members of this organization could take time off to hunt for their pentagrams after advancing one level.
She had only advanced a few months before Vicente and his group left. Then Layla could easily wait for them.

The same was true for Eve, Benson, and some of the other High-level Mages in the family. With all the progress the family had made in the past few months, several of the magicians in the group had reached this level.
However, Vicente didn't expect most of them to advance in the time they had left in Scott Province. And even if someone did, he didn't want to take them with him.
He wanted to take a small group on his hunt. Only Rory, Layla, Sarah, Casey, and Lina would join his hunt besides himself and Onyx.n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

"So Princess Lina Seidel has advanced to the 4th stage, huh?" Vicente commented when he heard the news from one of his men who had just entered his office with it.
Ideally, Vicente's next pentagram after receiving the fourth essence for his first Magic Gem would be an indigo pentagram. However, such a pentagram had never appeared in Polaris Realm.
There were legends that some peak 6th-stage creatures, Archmages, had already cultivated this kind of pentagram on the continent. But there was no history of any magician having achieved such a thing.
According to the legends, only a legendary magician who could reach the 7th stage would be able to absorb such a pentagram. Since there was no history of anyone becoming a Magus in the Polaris Realm, finding an indigo pentagram would be unrealistic even for Vicente.
Neither he nor Newton considered looking for a fifth pentagram that was different from the cyan essences.
"That's best for you." Newton agreed. "If you return from this hunt with five pentagrams, you can truly defend the kingdom against all kinds of threats.
Even if the magical civilization falls to monsters and vampires, the Metal City can become humanity's home, where no monster can enter."
"I'll do my best," Vicente promised, not to Newton, but to himself.
"I know... If the situation gets complicated, I'll take Nina and those with her, and we'll go to Metal City. We'll wait for you there if you take too long to get back." Newton said as he thought back to their stay in the capital before things got worse.
"I'm glad to hear that."
"My only concern, Vice, is whether this Metal City will be able to hold everyone who wants to go there. If things get out of hand, everyone who knows about this place will want to move there." Newton said in a serious tone.
He honestly didn't see how humanity could put up with the vampires' legendary plan!
He was almost sure that civilization, as they knew it today, would end in 10 years or less!
When that happened, places like Metal City would be sought after by every surviving human on the continent!
