Morton sighed and said, "I guessed that Huggins had a superhuman backing him, but I didn't expect it to be him."
Fast was extremely adept at maneuvering within the Alchemists' Guild, and he also had substantial financial backing, so even though he rarely participated in alchemical research, he still achieved quite a few successes in alchemy.
However, his reputation is not good. There were even rumors that he had spent money to buy other people's alchemical achievements, which is a scandal in the alchemist industry.
Don't worry about Fast's death; I'll explain it to the Alchemists' Guild later.
The array that summoned Gordon, the god of wishes, is right here. Even though it's destroyed, some of the traces of it can't be erased.
Explaining the descent of an evil god to superhumans is quite simple; at least they'll understand what happened as soon as they come and take a look.
"By the way, Master Morton, do you know what the dungeon is? And do you know Andrew Kuniel?"
Master Morton frowned and said, "The term 'underground city' actually refers to many places. Some ancient ruins or secret realms are called underground cities."
However, I feel that Jerome is unlikely to be referring to such a place. Dungeons like this usually have a prefix, and they don't seem to be associated with any person's name.
Since he said he got it from Andrew Kunil in the underground city, he must be referring to the underground city of the Assyrian Kingdom.
Grace probably knows more about this place than I do.
Grace nodded and said, "If it's that place, I do know quite a bit about it."
Everyone's tired today, so I'll treat you all to something good to eat and replenish your energy.
Hughes and Lenser were quite excited.
The bureau chief is usually very stingy, but it's rare to see him treat us to a meal.
Of course, Grace didn't choose a fancy restaurant, but rather a very ordinary little eatery in the West End, though Grace said it was quite famous.
The braised lamb chops with scallions and the braised beef with Brandt are very famous, and you can't go wrong with any of the dishes.
Another signature dish is braised pork chops with potatoes, tomatoes and chickpeas. In Yang Cheng's opinion, this dish is no different from Northeastern stew, and even less delicious.
But Lenser and Hughes ate like they hadn't eaten in ages.
After eating half of it, Grace started talking about the dungeon.
Master Morton knew of dungeons that were various ruins, while the dungeons Grace spoke of were the dark world beneath the Assyrian kingdom.
When the Assyrian Kingdom was first established, it fought a fierce battle with a northern country for the position of continental hegemon.
That country possesses an alchemical black technology called airships, which can even fly directly to St. Brand, the capital of the Assyrian Kingdom, and drop alchemical bombs, almost destroying the entire Assyrian royal palace.
From then on, the Assyrian Kingdom began digging air-raid shelters underground. Once an airship was discovered, citizens and nobles would immediately hide in the air-raid shelters to prevent airship attacks.
However, the Assyrian Kingdom eventually dominated the continent and even destroyed all the airship technology, so the air-raid shelters were naturally abandoned.
However, this abandoned air-raid shelter became a breeding ground for crime.
At first, only some fugitives fled into the winding, interconnected air-raid shelters to avoid being captured by the police.
Later, some gangs also entered and established strongholds there, and the underground air-raid shelters of the Assyrian Kingdom were completely transformed into underground cities that bred crime.
Now, the entire underground city has become a paradise of sin.
Gangsters, criminals, assassins, gamblers, prostitutes, traitors, dark alchemists, aliens, wanted criminals... almost anything associated with evil can be found in the dungeon.
After saying this, Grace let out a burp and said, "There are quite a few superhumans in the dungeon, but most of them are wanted criminals, the kind of superhumans who can't be brought to the light."
Many of the channels for worshipping evil gods originated from underground cities.
There are even legends that evil gods live in the underground city.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Jerome's family was destroyed, his face was disfigured, and he disappeared in St. Brand. He went underground and learned how to summon Gordon from that guy named Andrew.
However, Mr. Yang, the underground city is simply too large, covering almost every district of the entire Assyrian Kingdom. It is filled with a dense network of interconnected streets, and there are countless criminals.
It's too difficult to find the person who gave Jerome the arcane arts just by their name.
