As they were talking, they heard the others talking about the deadlands and will told them to listen to it, since it may give them information on what to expect, they can't always rely on him and should know how to gather information from what they hear. So they listened attentively to not miss anything, "The Nine-Layered Deathlands were originally an ancient battlefield where untold numbers of warriors perished, becoming a pool of tens of thousands of years' worth of accumulated death energy. Furthermore, unlike the previous floors, from the seventh floor onwards is the Master of the Nether Realm's private domain. Within his dominion, all rules are dictated by him. Each time he recruits a disciple, the situation differs. No one knows how he's going to choose his disciples this time around either. However, each time we enter a new floor, the master's servants should appear to announce the rules." Said an elder to their family members.
And he continued
"The previous round of recruitment occurred almost ten years ago. "He might have disciples, which numbers in perhaps hundreds of thousands. But from among them, only one may become his successor."
Aside at the other side it seemed others were gathered around one person, and from the looks of it who was an inscriptionist, and it seemed they were trying to buy him over, by giving him precious items, or privileges.
"This is a VIP token of the Divine Seal Auction House. As long as you have this, ordinary people won't dare to mess with you. If you encounter any problems, senior can just show this badge and any ordinary matters will be quickly settled." a member said to the old man (Inscriptionist), as he passed a gold token to him.
It seemed that old man had accepted the token from the member and put it away. The token at first glance to people who don't know about Inscriptions would appear just an ordinary plate, but it seemed that there was a special inscriptions carved on its surface.
"The Divine Seal Auction House is ranked third among the fifteen cities' auction houses. In the Nether Realm, they hold an extraordinary position, so no ordinary family will be bold enough to cross them," The old man said to the young person who gave him the token. "I would gladly accept this generous gift".
Listening to their talks Will looked at the girls and asked
Will: so did you learn anything.
To which they nodded their heads, now they have learned of the circumstances among these people, on why they were so adamant on becoming the disciple of this nether master, and why they were trying so hard, even though there were chances that they might die. And these items they need were the same as glory city, the only difference was that in glory city you could use your name but here you had to use those plates.
