In Huang Shi City,
Li Si wore a black cloak that concealed him from head to toe as he walked down a secluded path in Huang Shi City.
Although the Bertich Kingdom's defenses around Huang Shi City were extremely tight at the moment, Li Si still slipped inside with ease.
The Royal Mage Corps had set up a magic array to interfere with Spatial Teleportation. Li Si could not use teleportation to send the Fies Kingdom's main force into Huang Shi City, but getting one person in was no problem.
After breaking through to Gold-level, Li Si discovered that his control over magical power and all kinds of Magical Elements had improved tremendously. Many techniques that had previously been impossible or difficult to pull off had become much easier for him.
The reason Li Si had chosen to travel from the East Coast to Huang Shi City by carriage was also to give himself enough time to familiarize himself with and master his newly acquired power.
Unlike other Professionals, Li Si had not only improved as a mage. The abilities he had mastered from other professions had also advanced by leaps and bounds, so he needed more time to integrate them all.
But by now, he was more or less ready.
As he strolled through the streets of Huang Shi City, Li Si observed the capital of the Bertich Kingdom.
As the oldest city in the Bertich Kingdom, most of Huang Shi City's buildings were constructed from stone quarried from nearby Huang Shi Mountain. This slightly golden stone was highly favored by the Bertich royal family, causing the entire city to gleam with golden light beneath the sun. From afar, it even carried a faintly sacred air.
Yet its outward splendor could not conceal the darkness and filth lurking beneath.
