After receiving the fruits of the thorns, the pure white saintess quickly hurried away, as if trying to verify her conjecture.

Matilda, on the other hand, took Ivus with her and prepared to go downstairs to their residence.

Generally speaking, this should actually be pure white work. Cardinal Matilda generally does not leave the Order of Holy Order.

But since Pure White had a personal matter to deal with, the blue-haired cardinal chose to take care of Ivus for her.

Whether as a student, as a guest, as an archbishop and a key figure in the settlement of the condensation...... can't give him an address, just throw him away.

"Remember this, Ivus."

Matilda led Ivus to the lift platform and introduced him, "This kind of lift platform, there are twelve groups on each floor. You can go to the nearest place to yourself and wait. Each group has one up and one down—the golden one goes up, and the black one goes down. There is a three-minute pause at each level.

"If there are too many people, you just wait at the door for the next shift, don't crowd. Although there is enchantment protection, it is still very dangerous. ”

Matilda patiently instructed Ivus as if she were teaching a child to take an elevator for the first time.

Ivus nodded.

Indeed, this thing is dangerous to look at.

Although this "elevator" has handrails, it is not fully enclosed at all. It looks like a balcony with a view that protrudes out of the box, and it's very human.

And the timing mechanism here is also very visual.

The platform wasn't physical at all, it was an enchantment. Its metal part is actually a ring, while it looks more like a force field generator. The black stance even has a dark golden glowing pattern that spreads like a vine, and the black disc-shaped stance is gradually filled.

When it filled, the disc broke away from the ring and began to descend as a burst of dark golden light shone brightly.

It's going down pretty fast.

After a short delay, it's like falling. The strong feeling of weightlessness scared Lily—or nervously held Ivace's arm. And Ivus didn't react to this, and even missed it a little.

Soon, they suddenly began to slow down. Then it slowly stopped on the twelfth floor.

Some people leave from here, and some people come in from outside.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief.

Eivas felt her palms sweat.

He subconsciously glanced at Sherlock and noticed that he was surprisingly calm. Just a little boring holding hands.

"Your luggage has been delivered to your lodgings by the guards."

Cardinal Matilda spoke softly, like a mother's earnest: "Your dwelling place is in the Fifth Ring, and your place of study is in the Ninth Ring. It's not that I don't want to prepare a home for you in the Ninth Ring...... But from there there are basically elves, and you may not be able to adapt to the rhythm and way of life of elves. And there may be some more exclusive elves.

"From the fifth ring downwards, the currency is functional. The Sixth Ring and the Seventh Ring are both primitive environments, so don't go over there if you have nothing to do. There are no guards stationed there, which can be a bit dangerous.

"If you have something you want to buy, you can go to the First Ring, which has the most complete stuff. If you can't handle something, you can hire a troll to help you carry it. They have a lot of energy, and the price of hiring is not expensive.

"The fifth ring is a research-oriented layer, and it's quiet compared to the bottom of it. If you want to live on a lower level, you can tell me or you can talk to Pure White. We can also move you to the next level.

"The living area of each ring is quite large. If you want to get around, you can find some raised houses in the middle of each ring. They are located near the lift table. Just like the lift tables, they're always rotating, and you can quickly get to a certain zone through them. Then look inside or out, so it's closer.

"Remember not to hurt the giant tree, it's an absolute no-no. Therefore, the scale of the battle is strictly limited here...... If you have a dispute with another person, try to resolve it without damaging the ground. ”

Speaking of which, Cardinal Matilda glanced at Ivus and then at Sherlock, "Try not to use flame-type abilities. It's not outside, and the ground can't afford to burn. If the ground is destroyed, immediately seek out the surrounding elven bishops to heal the ground and do not escape - His Majesty the Pope is watching you. ”

"Heal the ground?"

Sherlock suddenly asked, "Is this also a ...... 'High Divine Technique'?" ”

"That's right."

Matilda nodded, "'Illumination' is actually a healing technique that can only be used by creatures with lifespan, feelings, and intelligence. As a result, lighting could not help plants recover from their injuries, much less the remains left behind by the apostles.

"Healing the divine body, this is already a high-level divine technique, so it is very troublesome."

She smiled at Ivus, "I'm very optimistic about you. Maybe you'll be able to learn the higher arts. ”

They chatted, and soon the lift platform descended to the fifth floor.

Matilda took Ivus to the Perpetual Ring, and Ivus asked curiously, "When will I start studying?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Matilda said casually.

She smiled and said, "It's going to be a lot of fun, it's rare to come here, you can go here more...... Oh yes. When you first came to the ring, you didn't buy the 'passbook', did you? That one seems to be quite expensive. ”

"Didn't buy it." Sherlock replied.

"It's good if you don't buy it," said Matilda, "and you can get a free pass book from the first to the fifth ring road, in every hotel and house. But it's all Elvish...... You should know Elven language, right? ”

By the time she said the rest of the story, she had already switched to Elfish language.

Previously, only Pure White and Janis had spoken in Elven language, and in the ceremony when Ivus accepted the status of Archbishop. All other conversations, in order to take care of Evas, all speak in Avalon.

“…… In other words," Sherlock sneered, "those goblins actually translated a copy of these free things and sold them for money, right?" Isn't that a fraud, Cardinal Matilda? ”

"Not really. Because it's true that there are people who don't understand Elvish language. ”

Cardinal Matilda shook her head: "So there is a need for someone – we can guarantee that you will get something if you give you money." But we can't control how much things should be sold for, and we can't control that.

"It's not fair to price the goods at their own value, because you have to take into account the cost of transportation, labor costs, wastage, and so on. And we don't intend to study this kind of fast-changing thing, so I'll leave it to the market itself to regulate. If someone sells something that is too expensive, there will definitely be someone who sells the cheaper version.

"What we can do is prevent violence and fraud. For example, monopolizing a certain commodity through violence, or giving money and not giving something, or taking something without giving money - or playing with words, giving something is not the same thing as selling something, etc.

"So when you go shopping, you have to look at the price. It is not possible to get a refund after buying something that you feel is too expensive or not needed. ”

Speaking of this, Cardinal Matilda smiled slightly: "Cardinal Loki has studied this. He believes that fraud is necessary – and it is because of fraud that people are flexible in how they talk and act. It's a kind of social lubrication, which leaves flexibility and leeway for everyone to think about what others say and do. ”

"Indeed," Ivas nodded, "if a society is completely free of fraud, it will only reduce people's ability to think, but it will not eradicate 'unintentional misinformation'. For example, forgetfulness or misunderstanding. ”

"Cardinal Igor has an interesting point about misunderstandings between people......"

Cardinal Matilda chatted as she led Ivus and his party to the residence.

It wasn't a particularly big house. It was even smaller than the cottage that Princess Isabel had given to Eivus.

From the outside, it looks like a two-story wooden house, each of which looks about 80 square meters. Naturally, there are no courtyards, pools or gardens.

But what puzzled Sherlock was that the door of the house did not have a keyhole or handle.

He tentatively reached out and pushed the door open, but as his hand approached the door, a vine handle suddenly grew out of the door.

This startled Sherlock a little. His hand froze in the air.

Ivas grabbed the handle and spun it around and entered the room.

When they had all entered, the door shut. From the inside, the door was still clean and without handles.

"Only when a few of you residents and cardinals are close to the door will there be handles."

Cardinal Matilda laughed: "This is also a kind of security institution - although it is of little significance, it is generally absolutely safe in the Church.

"It's a newly built room, and there were no previous occupants, so you don't have to worry about anything left over, everything is new. There are four bedrooms with two on each floor. There is also a toilet, a dining room and a study on each floor. ”

With that, she led the group to the outermost bedroom on the first floor and pulled open the doorknob.

She proudly explains: "These wooden cabinets are also the kindness of giant trees. You can put uneaten food in it, and you can also put clothes in it. It can be used as a wardrobe to allow your clothes to clean automatically, as long as it is not too dirty; At the same time, it can also be used as a food storage cabinet, which can be stored for about half a month to a month, so that fresh fruits will not wilt and meat will not rot......"

Cardinal Matilda said, casually pulling open one of the cabinets.

- The next moment, a fresh elven corpse fell out of the storage cabinet with a clatter.
