I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Chapter 362 Netherworld's Thirty-Three Heavens

Once Albion raised the question, a near-imperceptible glint appeared in the eyes of all five dark fae maids. It was so slight that Albion might have missed it if he hadn't observed their expressions.

His own eyes flickered.

The five dark fae maids' expressions were well controlled, but the eyes were the windows to their souls. They couldn't hide their deepest emotions from Albion.

He wasn't exactly sure what they were thinking, but he understood that their spirits weren't dead.

Either their slave training wasn't rigorous enough, or their wills were strong enough to overcome their slave training.

If it was the former, then so be it.

However, if there is any chance it was the latter, Albion would be interested in learning about their history.

"Our understanding of Netherglow City and Grand Netherheaven Sector is limited to general knowledge. Nevertheless, what do you wish to know, my Lord?" answered the dark fae maid standing in the middle of the five with a short undercut hairstyle.

Albion glanced at her and silently labeled her as the leader of the group.

"For starters, you can talk about Netherglow City's history. Who founded it? Then, you can explain about its current ruler and the ruler's strength," Albion casually said.

The five dark fae maids silently felt surprised by Albion's questions.

After all, they were simple questions that any local with a bit of education in the city would have known. It was most general of the general knowledge in Netherglow City.

They immediately understood that Albion was new to the city.

"The Darkwind Heavenly Soul Immortal founded Netherglow City over 18,000,000 years ago during the era of exploration. At that time, Grand Netherheaven Sector was still an unexplored wildness with few established cities," the dark fae maid with short undercut hair spoke.

"Netherglow City was considered one of the few first-tier cities in Grand Netherheaven Sector during the Darkwind Heavenly Soul Immortal's rule. However, many new cities have been established as more of the Grand Netherheaven Sector was explored since then."

"After the Darkwind Heavenly Soul Immortal left to explore the more nether-rich zones within Grand Netherheaven Sector, Netherglow City was inherited by the Darkwind Heavenly Soul Immortal's descendants."

"However, each generation of the Darkwind Heavenly Soul Immortal's descendants proved to be more disappointing than the last. None of them could reach their ancestor's heights. This is why the current Lord of Netherglow City is only a Third-stage True Soul Immortal."

"Oh?" Albion smiled after listening to the short undercut dark fae maid's recount.

"Are you not afraid of your words reaching the city lord's ears and getting executed for saying the Darkwind Heavenly Soul Immortal's descendants are disappointments?" Albion asked while studying the dark fae maid's indifferent expression with amusement.

"I am merely stating facts according to your requirement, my Lord," the short undercut dark fae maid replied calmly.

"Interesting," Albion rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He had the impression that the five dark fae maids appeared to be emotionless dolls after their slave training. However, they are proving to have quite the hidden characters.

Evidently, they are good are reading expressions and understood that he didn't give a sh*t about the Lord of Netherglow City. Thus, the dark fae maid with short undercut hair felt comfortable speaking frankly.

"You can continue to speak frankly. This applies to the rest of you; feel free to speak your thoughts. You will not get into any trouble here. I do not care for the formality of nobles in this city, nor its lord," Albion nonchalantly stated.

"Understood, my Lord," the five dark fae maids complied with slight smiles on their faces. Their new master was quite interesting.

"Continue with the Grand Netherheaven Sector. Does the Grand Netherheaven Sector have a ruler? How many Sectors are there in the Netherworld Realm? And which Sector do you come from?" Albion inquired.

"My apologies, my Lord. The Grand Netherheaven Sector is too vast. Someone of my level is not privy to that knowledge. Thus, I do not know if the Grand Netherheaven Sector has any ruler," the dark fae maid with short undercut hair replied.

"Fair enough. Continue," Albion urged.

"Yes, my Lord," the dark fae maid with short undercut hair complied and said, "There are currently thirty-three existing Sectors in the Netherworld Realm. As for my kind, we hail from the Ancient Darkheaven Sector."

"You don't know if the Grand Netherheaven Sector has a ruler, but you know you hail from a different Sector. Furthermore, you even know how many Sectors there are in the Netherworld Realm?" Albion mentioned with a doubtful smile.

"That is because we live on the border region of Grand Netherheaven Sector, my Lord. The Realm Lords of Grand Netherheaven Sector and Ancient Darkheaven Sector wage frequent Realm Wars. As prisoners of the Realm Wars, this is pretty much common knowledge for us, my Lord," the dark fae maid explained.

"And the thirty-three Sectors?"

"The thirty-three Sectors… I'm not so sure about this myself, my Lord."

The dark fae maid with short undercut hair shook her head with a confused look when it came to the topic of the thirty-three Sectors.

"I'm not sure who found out about it, but this knowledge seems to be widespread across the Grand Netherheaven and Ancient Darkheaven Sectors, my Lord," the dark fae maid stated.

"You can find information about the thirty-three Sectors in a book called the Netherworld's Thirty-Three Heavens. I recall that the study room had a copy. Would you like me to fetch it for you, my Lord?" the dark fae maid inquired shortly after.

"One of your sisters can do it. You will stay and answer my questions," Albion stated.

"Understood, my Lord," the dark fae maid with short undercut hair nodded. Then, she turned to her left and signaled the far left dark fae maid to fetch the book in the study room.

"The dark fae slaves have quite high value in Netherglow City's slave auction," Albion mentioned.

"I assume this is because your race has quite the prestige in the Ancient Darkheaven Sector. However, I wonder how exactly powerful your Dark Fae Race is?"

"Well… our Dark Fae Clan's leader is a Tenth-stage Heavenly Soul Immortal, my Lord."

After Albion heard the dark fae maid's reply, the corners of his lips twitched.

The Dark Fae Clan's leader is an Immortal Emperor? The same as the Dark Emperor during his prime life as the Ashura Emperor?

Someone that strong can still get their clan members enslaved by other forces?

Dafuq?
