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 ownnd, and


    farming was their main source of ie.


    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 assignednd 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 ce 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 rtionships of powers are veryplicated 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 youe from the Eastern Continent, right?"


    Henry nodded.


    Cayetano''s face was full of grief and indignation. He continued, "I was young when I came here. I


    think I was neen. At the time, our Eastern Continent was the most powerful here and throughout


    the world. But Bishop Sanford Chu locked himself in Mount Kunlun, and disputes started to brew


    among people of the Eastern Continent in Recluse World."


    Henry knew that Cayetano was talking about the internal division of the Eastern Continent. It didn''t


    just happen in Recluse World. The internal division had caused the Eastern Continent of Recluse


    Association to fall apart globally. At this moment, when Henry was going to be appointed as the


    bishop of the Eastern Continent, many organizations were working on something in the dark.


    Except Xue Family had pledged allegiance to Henry, no other organizations showed anything. Even


    worse, the Eight Qis Tribe of Japan had started to work on building a rtionship with Hebor


    Merrick.


    Cayetano continued, "Because of the internal division, some people left, and some people stuck


    around. But it was still some dispute within the continent. I heard a piece of really bad news


    recently, Bishop Sanford Chu is..."


    At this point, Cayetano''s body shook, and his eyes turned red.


    Henry took a deep breath and shook his head.


    Cayetano clenched his fists and pounded on the table heavily, attracting many people''s attention.


    He wiped his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "It didn''t just stop there. Rumor has it that Bishop


    Chu''s spokesperson, Lord Sackcloth Visitor, angered the Martial Emperor and was disabled by him.


    The new Bishop Henry Zhang is seriously injured, and he is on the run. Someone says that Bishop


    Zhang is working with Demonic Beasts to topple Recluse Association. So people from the Eastern


    Continent are treated badly by other people. Because Henry Zhang is appointed by Bishop Chu,


    people like me, who is a loyal supporter of Bishop Chu, are treated even worse."


    "Henry Zhang colluded with Demonic Beasts?" Henry''s face dropped, "Who said that?"


    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


    nder 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 representativeter. 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


    ising. Let''s start eating. Your brother is starving."


    A te of beef was ced on the table. Cayetano smiled and looked down to pick up his


    chopsticks. When he looked back up, the beef was all gone.
