Chapter 898 - 898 631 Phantom of the Ghost City

?Chapter 898: Chapter 631: Phantom of the Ghost City Chapter 898: Chapter 631: Phantom of the Ghost City Here, I must first explain the history of Deepwater City.

Deepwater City was not originally a city of humans but of elves and dwarves. Later, due to a conflict between the two, the elves left the city, and the dwarves disappeared without a trace by digging tunnels.

So when humans came to the Northern Land, they were thrilled to find such a fully functional and uninhabited city with no owner—naturally, they claimed it for themselves.

It turns out that the decision of the elves and dwarves was correct; since humans settled in Deepwater City, there have been frequent incidents, with little monsters coming to destroy them every other day.

Okay, I digress.

After humans occupied Deepwater City, they naturally discovered the underground tunnels dug by the dwarves, which spread throughout the city. No one knew where these tunnels actually led. Once, a mage named Haer Falson and his apprentices ventured into these tunnels to investigate, but they vanished without a trace. There were rumors that he got lost in the depths of the Dark Region and became a mad mage. Since humans settled in Deepwater City, countless adventurers have explored the depths of the Dark Region, but very few have returned alive.

Some people also say that these tunnels lead to Hell because there are many monsters down there that have never been seen before, and they can come to the surface of Deepwater City through these tunnels at night and slaughter the residents—not that it’s anything more than a legend.

Well, that is all for the background. The commission brought by Amelia is also related to the tunnels spread throughout Deepwater City. In short, an adventure squad disappeared deep in the tunnels, and Master Kelben hopes that you adventurers can find them and bring them back.

Of course, as one of Deepwater City’s Masked Lords, Master Kelben wouldn’t bother with a common adventure squad. His interest in this particular squad was because it included his student—also his nephew—Danilo Sain.

Given Kelben’s status, he couldn’t possibly leave Deepwater City to go to the Dark Region, but he couldn’t casually ask others for help either. After all, one of his identities was as a Masked Lord of Deepwater City, and the disappearance of his nephew and apprentice could attract unwanted attention from certain interested parties.

So when Amelia, representing Neverwinter City, came to visit and express gratitude for delivering the plague antidote on behalf of Kelben’s Black Wand, Kelben immediately thought of this solution.

He asked Amelia for help, to lead an adventure squad deep underground to find his missing nephew.

As a Sacred Knight of Tyler, Amelia naturally felt obliged to accept. What the others thought was yet to be determined.
