Chapter 938 Advice from a Friendly Senior
For the next few minutes, Vicente followed Primrose around the city, distracted by the explanation of how it worked and the most important places to remember.
This looked like a futuristic city from an Earth movie, but it was also a mixture of mixed races and the elements of cultivation. It was a place he could only describe as strange.
But Vicente was in a hurry to get stronger, take his place in this society, and eventually change the situation for his family.
“You will spend your next year here. Ravengarde has powerful and intricate formations to prevent Anicane’s natural mana from ‘drowning’ newly ascended to our world, like you.
During the year, you will have the opportunity to adapt to the world’s natural mana concentration and learn the basics of survival out there. After that, depending on your results, you may be given freedom to come and go, even as a member of my sect.”
“Getting used to the mana of the area? I think I got used to it the moment I arrived,” Vicente said in a confident tone, thinking that this person had underestimated him.
She looked at him as she continued to lead him to the area where he would live from today on. “The mana outside the city is 100 times denser than in here. You probably almost drowned in mana after going through the Nine Paths. If you leave this area now, your Magic Gems will explode and you will die.”
Vicente paled when he heard this, as he had indeed felt drowned earlier.
She stopped in front of him and grabbed one of his fists. “You’re really strong, I’ll give you that. Not particularly good at ignoring reality, but strong for your level. Yet, you don’t seem to be that intelligent… Or maybe you’re blinded by some problem.
Either way, I’m going to help you. Can you feel the difference between you and me, Vicente?”
“Apart from our cultivation bases?” Vicente asked as he tried to test this woman with his electromagnetic abilities.
He found it difficult to see through this body, as he could easily do in the Polaris Realm. Nevertheless, he noticed something.
She smiled when she saw he had found what she wanted him to see. “You have a good understanding of cultivation. You’ll learn things quickly.
Anyway, what you’ve just noticed is the main reason it’s dangerous for you to leave this city, or rather, the protected area of the city. While the magic within me is stable, completely under my control, your soul and magical forms are completely out of balance.
You’re no longer in Polaris Realm, but it will be a while before you stop sucking up the mana in your surroundings. For at least a year, your body will continue to show the effects of your qualitative evolution, which is both an opportunity and a danger.
Newly ascended people like you can become stronger very quickly because of the Heavenly Blessing given to those who transcend the limitations of their home worlds.
But this blessing, which is responsible for this terrifying mana absorption, can kill you. If you absorb more mana than your body can handle, it, your soul, and your Magic Gem could explode. So until this process is over, you have little choice here. Accept it and take the chance.”
Vicente fell silent as he realized she was right. ‘At this rate, I’ll be a real Magus by the end of the year!’ He thought about how much he was improving every second and how much he could improve in the coming months.
“That…” He opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated.
‘I can’t say I’m here on a mission. Either she’ll take me for a clown and laugh, or she’ll take me seriously and see me as someone to be eliminated or even arrested.’ Vicente took a step back.
He really was in a hurry to grow up, to find the elves and dragons of Polaris Realm, or at least the descendants of those ancestors. But there was no point in doing things that would kill him or make him even more limited.
‘If I’m going to have freedom in the future, as she says, I’d better calm down and accept the situation I’m in. In any case, I can continue to strengthen myself and at least learn the reality of the Supr—Anicane.’ He clenched his fists as he took a deep breath.
He had to take one step at a time!
“I understand. I’m sorry for my behavior, Senior Primrose. In truth, I left Polaris Realm at war. The vampires started a massacre and unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to solve the crisis. That’s why I’m a bit worried.” He revealed the truth.
Was there a risk that this information would be used against him? He couldn’t be sure, but he thought that talking to Primrose about it now might help rather than hinder him.
And even if it reached his potential enemies, what difference would it make? It wasn’t as if anyone from Anicane could go to the Polaris Realm anyway. Besides, he wouldn’t tell anyone he had left a family behind. He was just a young warrior who missed an opportunity to resolve a conflict on behalf of his countrymen.
Primrose looked into Vicente’s eyes and felt the truth in his words. “Vampires, huh? We heard that some natives of Anicane stayed behind in several worlds after the destruction of the Nine Paths.”
“Do you have any information about them, Senior?” Vicente asked, sensing that this woman knew many important truths for him.
She shook her head in denial. “Perhaps the sect has useful information for you. But what I know about vampires is the same as what you know… A little more, actually, but not that different.
Vampires are phenomenal creatures, even in Anicane. But they are hard to find. They have their own domain and are in an area far away from us. Since Stonewall has never had to deal with vampires directly, it’s not normal for the sect members to know much about them.
But it’s possible that the Central Library has information that I don’t know about. After all, we’ve done business with hundreds of islands, including some that are hostile to vampires. Maybe one of these groups has given us information about vampires as part of payments.”
“I see… What about the natives of Polaris Realm? When did the last of them arrive in Stonewall?”
“When? You were the first.” Primrose grinned at Vicente. “We know about your continent because in the distant past, we were connected to all the over 10,000 worlds.
Each native of the different worlds has a special aura that we can analyze and distinguish their origins. But since the end of the Nine Paths, we have received no one from your world.”
“So the last one to ascend from Polaris Realm didn’t come here? Is there any way I can find out where they went?” Vicente asked, as this would be his first clue to finding enemies, like the members of the Congregation of Revelations, but also allies, like the dragons and elves.
“I am sorry. I don’t know how to help you. Of the over 10,000 islands in Anicane, we only have relations with 259. As for the others, we have only occasional, often accidental encounters. It’s not uncommon for us to have no relationship with most of our world for tens of thousands of years. So there’s no way to know.” She was sincere in a way that even Vicente found strange.
Vicente sighed in defeat, but didn’t insist. But something else caught his attention. “By the way, why are you helping me? You welcomed me so well… I can’t help but be curious about the reality of this place.”
She looked away from Vicente, pointing toward a relatively ordinary house in what looked like a residential neighborhood of very similar houses.
“Stonewall is a righteous sect. I won’t say much about us. You can come to your own conclusions. But in short, you’re a junior to me. I was once in your position, as were many of my comrades.

You know nothing and you’ve done nothing here. Maybe you’re a psychopathic killer who deserves to die. Or maybe you’re someone who will revolutionize our society for the better. Or just an ordinary guy.
There’s no reason for me or my companions to hate you or mistreat you. You’re like a baby to us. Depending on how you grow up here, we’ll change our behavior. Until then, there’s no reason to refuse to help you when you have just entered our house.”
Vicente didn’t know what to say. This was so direct and hard to believe that he couldn’t help but become even more suspicious.
‘I’ll really have to judge you for myself. For now, I’m going to accept because I have no choice. But I’ll see if that’s what it is.’
“So tell me about the Nine Paths that you’ve mentioned several times. What is it? How was it destroyed?”
The moment Vicente asked it, Primrose froze and shot an extremely icy look in his direction.
