Nearly 20 minutes had passed, and now, Raelis was in the heart of the city. Technically, he was in the alleyway right beside the city center.
Raelis took a deep breath, put on the Black Lotus mask, and confidently walked deeper into the alleyway.
That was when he stopped and glanced down at the manhole cover.
A shiver ran down his spine, but even so, he reached for the manhole cover and pushed it aside.
Then, he jumped down, making sure to close the opening behind him.
Unlike regular sewers, the drop lasted nearly ten seconds before he began sliding. Eventually, he even saw some light.
And along with that light came a sight he could've only imagined from his father's vivid diary.
It was an underground city, literally.
This city had gone unnoticed by the emperor, or anyone from the Varekan family, for that matter.
