Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

After Vicente analyzed the terrain on which his group would build the railway between Vicente and Martell Village, he came to the conclusion that the ideal would be to do as one of his blacksmiths had suggested. Make the tracks have a magnetic effect on the surroundings to ward off beasts.

Vicente felt that if he used this method, in theory, magical beings weaker than 3rd stage creatures would prefer to stay away from his tracks. Not only that, even if a creature wanted to risk getting close to such an area, there would be a suppressing effect that would push it in the opposite direction of the tracks.

This magnetic effect would work 24 hours a day, so Vicente's group hoped that once the line was up and running, not even objects thrown onto the track, purposefully or otherwise, would be able to hinder the railroad's purpose.

In the meantime, Vicente intended to deploy men to patrol the most worrying points along the line as a precaution.

During the visit to the area where the structure would pass, he and his group decided that there should be two support posts in the middle of the route. The men responsible for maintaining and protecting the railway would come from these posts.

With that settled, they began building it the day after Vicente and Rory arrived in the Martell Village!

...

The process of building the railway was not complex. In short, metals, construction areas, and men were needed to help assemble the structures.

However, in this experiment by Vicente and his 3rd stage blacksmiths, things would be a little different from what they would be in the future.

Vicente couldn't just build things around the province or the kingdom. He had to cultivate and deal with other matters. So, in the future, his group would develop railroad lines, as explained, that is, with many men involved.

Vice's job in the future would only be to check the magnetic properties of the railway and build the most important part of the trains.

But on this occasion, he would take part in all the phases of the projects, from mineral extraction to the creation of the metal alloys, the assembly of the rails, the construction of the railcars and important train components, and the construction of the support or loading/unloading stations.

Why commit to this now? To speed up the project and get the experiment up and running. That way, his group could find out what would be needed to raise the quality of the project before they built rail lines throughout the province.

So he would soon spend the next few days mining in the areas indicated by the group's blacksmiths before producing the rails and sheet metal that would be useful for making the railcars and important train components.

The blacksmiths would be watching him closely as he created many of these things, as they didn't understand exactly how to produce many of the train's components. With Vicente's example, they could create designs with important data that would help them eventually know how to produce such components even without Vice's help.

However, as well as being there to learn, the blacksmiths could help Vicente with some parts of the project, such as fixing the rails to the ground, among other things.

They would start their project from Martell Village, first building the basics of what would become the first train station in the Scott Province, before beginning the assembly of the tracks towards Millfall.

...

Eleven days after Vicente and his blacksmiths began their project in Martell Village...

Anyone entering Martell Village today would see a few different things about it. As well as a large three-story building made entirely of metal on the village's main street, the street behind the main street now had something strange sticking out of the building and into the village.

Metal railings were on both sides of Vicente's railroad tracks to prevent people from passing through. Still, it was visible for anyone to see those metal things on the ground.

What was that? Nobody in the village, even Vicente's most direct subordinates, knew what it was.

All they knew was that this was Vicente's project, so they shouldn't ask questions, meddle or cause trouble.

In the meantime, if any curious people followed the line of tracks that led into the Crow Woods near the village, one would eventually come a long way until, an hour and a half's journey on horseback from the village, one would arrive at the point where the tracks ended.

In the middle of the Crow Woods, Vicente and his men were out there setting up the tracks.

While Vicente used the metals stacked not far from his staff, making them into rails and positioning them in the places already prepared by his blacksmiths, these men there with him were either preparing more ground ahead or fixing the rails laid by Vice.

Their work was quick. In one minute, they could assemble more than 100 meters of track together.

The problem that could make the line take longer to complete was the materials.

After two hours working there, Vicente and his men had used all the sheet metal they had to produce the rails.

"Let's stop for a rest and then head back to the mine closest to here," Vicente said as he sighed and wiped the sweat from his face.

That didn't compare to a high-level fight, but doing something simple for long periods of time was extremely tiring!

The silver lining was that he and his fellow blacksmiths had been constantly training their magical foundations by exhausting their strength and then recovering repeatedly over the last few days.

"I think we'd better mine for four days before we get back to assembling the rails again," Benson commented to Vicente as he approached his disciple. "We work better when we have more materials. If we do four days of mining, we'll be able to complete 60% of the track by the end of next week. After that, we can stop for another four days to mine and then finish the tracks to Millfall.

We can do the rest of the work in that city at the station we will build."

"Okay. I don't see any problem with proceeding with it," Vicente commented before quickly drinking a liter of water.

...

A few more days passed, and Vicente was busy implementing his plan to build trains in the Polaris Realm.

His work alongside Benson and the other blacksmiths would bear fruit in those days, and soon, they would arrive with their tracks in Millfall!

Within 27 days since they started working together, they would finish laying the track between the two locations. Vicente also set up Millfall's loading and unloading station.

After that, all that remained was to create the most important component: the train and its railcars!
