My Waste Husband novel Chapter 1226

Cayetano introduced the basic situation of Recluse World to Henry.

Recluse World used its own currency. Any other currency was useless.

There were three types of residents. The first was indigenous people. They had their own land, and farming was their main source of income.

The second one was adventurers. They would go out of the city to kill monsters, which were the experimental creatures of Alvin League. They made a living by hunting monsters.

The third one was the administrators. When people had achievements, they were qualified to be administrators. Administrators were assigned land and house, and they were allowed to have employees. Administrators would take a certain percentage of their employees' achievements. So the more employee you would have, the more achievement you would gain. More achievement also meant a faster promotion. When an administrator was promoted to a certain level, he or she was qualified to hold a position in Recluse Association, disregarding the physical location.

From Cayetano's introduction, Henry learned that

Recluse World was more like a training ground for Reclose Association, and it had a set of more completed rules.

Cayetano took Henry and Ranjeet to a Yan Xia restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant was inspired by the period inn of Yan Xia. There were a lot of customers in the restaurant, and everyone was wearing period costumes. Eating in this restaurant would give people the illusion of going back in time.

After a long time of hesitation, Cayetano ordered one kilogram of beef and one bottle of liquor. It seemed that Cayetano wasn't rich.

Sitting by the table, Henry asked, "Cayetano, I still don't quite understand."

Cayetano said, "Which part?"

Henry asked, "How could the bishops have influence here? This place should not be in their jurisdiction. And I don't think they would be regarded as powerful here."

Cayetano shook his head, "Bishops are only representatives. In fact, there is a lord behind every bishop. The relationships of powers are very complicated here. However, everything can be traced back to the seven continents. The seven most powerful people here are all confidants sent here by seven bishops, and none of them were talking to each other. It could tell that the bishops treat Recluse World like a training ground because we fight Demonic Beast here on a daily basis. When bishops' confidants eventually are powerful enough to qualify for a position in Recluse Association, they will always be able to add power to their own continent."

Henry asked, "So that's to say, the seven bishops have great power here?"

Cayetano sighed and said, "Originally, there were seven, but now, there are only six."

"Six? Why?" Henry was puzzled.

"Young Master, I assume you come from the Eastern Continent, right?"

Cayetano shook his head, "I don't know. It's just hearsay. They say that Henry wounded Bishop Cleve Chai, one of the three cardinals, but he was also seriously injured."

"Ha," Henry sneered. Just as Henry expected, there were people spreading rumors about him to slander his name. It seemed that someone was trying to push him out of Recluse Association!

Cayetano wiped his tears again. After he calmed himself down, Cayetano said, "By the way, I haven't asked about your names."

"Oh, my name is Syl Zhang, and this is my brother, Ranjeet." Henry patted Ranjeet on the shoulder.

Ranjeet was sitting in the corner. When he noticed that no one was watching, he would quickly take a big bite of his sandwich and chew with great satisfaction.

Cayetano had told them that Recluse World didn't allow anything from the outside, including information and physical objects. The Indigenous people believed that Recluse World was the only world, and the outsiders were rarely here. So it led to the custom that everyone had to follow the local custom, and no one was allowed to bring anything from the outside or say anything about the outside. The punishment for anyone who broke the rules was death. Even the bishops couldn't get away with the punishment.

"Syl, I'll take you two to meet the bishop's representative later. Although the power of the Eastern Continent is weak, I still hope that you two can join us. Of course, I won't force you to. Well, the food is coming. Let's start eating. Your brother is starving."

A plate of beef was placed on the table. Cayetano smiled and looked down to pick up his chopsticks. When he looked back up, the beef was all gone.
