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?"
