Chapter 1445: Chapter 976: Battle for the High Tower (Part 10)_1

""I learned from the Demon Overseer that Hell is divided into four parts. The first part is the Desolate Continent, where we are now. This is where over 80% of the demon population in Hell lives, including notorious Demon Lords like Beelzebub, Astro, Beelzebub, Azazel, whose territories are all on the Desolate Continent,"

"To the southeast of the Desolate Continent, there's a River of Lava, where most Magma demons are born. Also, due to its harsh environment, many powerful demons have been born there. For instance, the Spike Demons from Astro's elite Flying Spike Army, originated from this River of Lava,"

"Beneath the River of Lava, and under the continental shelf of the Desolate Continent, there is a place called Deep Hell or also known as the Abyss – an underground kingdom. This is generally where the Shadow Clan lives, so Shadow Demons, Shadow Monsters, Shades, and other demons who dislike hot environments are mostly born here, and then they come to the surface through the chimneys under the Desolate Continent,"

"When the First Fallen first came to Hell, he became the ruler and the most powerful Satan here, making the five volcanoes in the center of the Desolate Continent erupt and form a staircase ascending to the sky. Above the staircase, there's a Sky Island, known as Throne Island, which is the throne of each successive Satan and also Satan's palace,"

"After Lucifer left, the keys to the palace were given to his friend. Now, neither Beelzebub nor Azazel can enter Satan's palace,"

"Additionally, I've heard that at the end of the River of Lava, there lives a group of God's rebels calling themselves Dickens. Their leader, Arias, is also a famous Demon King. However, they don't like to interact with the demons in Hell, considering them filthy vermin. But this time, Arias seems to be stirring, perhaps he has his own plans for Satan's throne,"

As Alfred finished speaking, Shiller nodded, but Batman looked at his old butler. In just two days, Fred had worked out the general situation in Hell. Batman was astonished, but upon deeper reflection, he found it quite normal.

When Batman first went to university at age 18, not having had the chance to travel the world yet, all his knowledge and strategies were taught by Alfred, apart from the certain professional skills taught by specialists, which he had to leave Gotham to learn. At that time, Batman was still young and was immersed in the rage of avenging his parents' death. He learned whatever Alfred taught without considering where these lessons came from,"

And added to it, Batman is a genius. His learning ability and mental capacity were second to none. What he learned from Alfred didn't seem too much for him by the time he entered the university. But as he looks back now, the knowledge, strategies, and various abilities he regarded as not too much were beyond reach for ordinary people,"

After going through various events in his college life, Batman did not feel that what Alfred taught him was weak. On the contrary, after confronting various lunatics, villains, and bizarre incidents, Alfred seemed stronger in his eyes,"

In a city like Gotham, an old domestic servant who could hold onto all of the Wayne Family's holdings and Wayne Manor in the event of both parents dying, leaving behind just a young child, and raise Bruce successfully, while teaching him nearly all the skills needed for revenge, seemed an extraordinary feat to Batman the more he understood about Gotham,"

But no matter how much Batman asked in the past, Alfred would just shake his head with a smile, like coaxing a child, telling him, 'It's not difficult'."

For a long time, Alfred always had the air of an accomplished retiree. Batman had brought up topics related to the Soviet Union several times, but Alfred seemed unenthusiastic. Batman assumed that Alfred had truly lost passion and no longer clung to his ideals and career,"

It wasn't that Batman was never curious about Alfred's true abilities, but if Alfred did not wish to show, Batman wouldn't force him,"

But now, Batman saw a good opportunity. Alfred had rekindled his enthusiasm and wanted to do something proactively for the first time,"

Finally, Batman could witness the past glory of this ace agent and legendary servant when he was young and learn how his respected and beloved father figure made his way through the tempestuous and romantic era from amidst the heavy snow,"

After hearing Alfred's explanation, Shiller stooped down and smoothed some sand on the table and began to sketch out the general terrain Alfred mentioned,"

At this point, Alfred turned to Batman and said, "Batman, there are torches that Merkel and I brought. They are soaked in a special oil that can burn for a long time…"

"But torches are not convenient for lighting, can you help us make an oil lamp?"

No sooner had he finished speaking, than Merkel stood up and said, "I'll do it. I received training in emergency lighting during my time at Butler School."
