Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang stopped around 200 kilometers away from the Urbring Family's house.

Or, more like, the Urbring Family's city.

The Urbring Family was one of the more powerful gatherer families, much more powerful than the two gatherer families Shang had destroyed.

Because of that, their "house" was also far bigger.

Several-kilometer-tall walls surrounded a large area that was nearly 30 kilometers wide, but there was actually no roof above these walls.

Several powerful barriers and Magic Circles strengthened the walls, transforming everything into an extremely powerful fortress.

Inside the walls were several smaller mansions and houses for the different groups inside the Urbring Family.

In a way, the gigantic walls were seen as the Urbring Family's house, but the house was actually just a container for a city.

The Urbring Family was sizable and very powerful.

The Patriarch of the Urbring Family was a Peak Archmage, someone that could kill Shang with a high likelihood.

Shang would definitely not be able to kill the Patriarch before he could call an Enforcer, if he could kill him at all.

Luckily, Shang was not here to kill the Patriarch but to keep watch over the Treasury Master.

Even more, Shang suspected that it was actually the Patriarch that requested this mission.

Even though the Patriarch was definitely much more powerful than the Treasury Master, their Spirit Senses were still equally as large, which meant that the Patriarch couldn't secretly watch the Treasury Master.

In fact, no one in the entire Urbring Family could watch the Treasury Master after leaving the Urbring Family's house.

One had to either be an Ancestral Mage with a greater Spirit Sense or be invisible to Spirit Senses.

Shang guessed that the Patriarch suspected the Treasury Master of keeping a secret or embezzling funds.

Shang had been working in this territory for several decades, and he knew the rules all the gatherer families had to follow.

While the Natural Selection Company could harvest the territory for all it was worth, the same wasn't true for the gatherer families.

The Natural Selection Company paid money to the Twilight Dusk Family for all the resources in this area. The gatherer families were only contractors or employees. They were paid money to harvest the resources and send them to the Natural Selection Company.
