If the only bad thing about the Endless Ladder is that the journey will be more difficult, and climbing on the Ladder will undoubtedly take more time than other quick travel methods.
Fortunately, the transportation vehicle of Elos and his party is a spider carriage, so facing the endless stairs will not be too troublesome.
Although the spider carriage is called a carriage, it is a completely different means of transportation from a carriage.

A qualified carriage spider must first be carefully selected and tamed by a trainer. The strong spiders must be carefully selected and tamed. The fangs and venom glands of these huge spiders, which are as tall as a person and as wide as three carriages side by side, will be removed, and they will be carefully fed with special medicinal materials.
.
In this way, these violent spiders will become docile and dull, while a carefully arranged diet will also make them stronger.
The spider carriage does not pull a wheeled trailer like a traditional carriage. The trainers nail the iron base into the spider's broad back using special techniques.
Generally speaking, a small wooden box will be placed on this base, and items can be placed inside it.
But now fixed on top of these pedestals is a narrow iron cage in which Iroth's slaves now sleep.
Iroth and Themis controlled the three-headed spider to carefully climb up the spiral staircase. The entire journey was to enter the Endless Staircase through Sigil City, then start climbing the stairs, all the way up.
There is a special door on a certain platform of the ladder. Igvirvo described the appearance of that door to Baal in detail. That is Iroth's goal.
Only that door can lead Elos and Themis quietly and unnoticed into the bottomless abyss of Samori, a place full of pleasure and desire ruled by Graz'zt.
Fallen city.
If they wanted to find that door, Elos and his party would have to travel a very long way.
But even for a mentally strong person, constantly climbing in this monotonous world with only stairs is an extremely tiring thing, not only for physical fatigue, but also for strangers.
It's psychological fatigue.

Climbing an infinite staircase without an end. Seeing such a scene for a long time will undoubtedly give people the illusion that "this road will never have an end."
Or "This trip will never end."
At first, Themis was still observing everything around her with relish and excitement, but soon she lost interest. No matter who looked at the same monotonous scene without changes for a week, she would feel bored.
During the week, the group of people kept rushing on the road, only taking a short rest on the occasional platforms. At the same time, the various strange "doors" on those platforms were the only way to rest mentally during the journey.
way.
During this week, the two of them saw some special doors. For example, the three of them did not find any doors on a platform, but they saw an open window above their heads.
It was a window door. After the two rested for a while, they saw many sylphs coming in and out of it. After talking, Ilosu realized that this was a "window door". The sylphs occupied a room abandoned by the giants.
The giant door of the "Castle in the Clouds" is undoubtedly a bit too big for these wind elves, and it is very troublesome to open or close it.
So they transformed a window into a door and connected it to the endless ladder.
Under the warm invitation of the Wind Elf family, Eloise and his team tied the spider to the handrail beside the stairs, and flew with them to the Wind Elf's house for a simple rest.
The wind elves were very thoughtful and prepared a bathtub as big as a swimming pool for the two of them - it was actually a teacup abandoned by the giant.
And a soft bed the size of a basketball court - which is actually a towel left by the giant.

Since the wind elves who love tidiness live here, even though the owners of these things have been gone for a long time, everything is still so clean and refreshing.
After a good night's rest, the two of them said goodbye to their master the next morning.
Before leaving, Iloth left a brick of tea as a thank you gift. Although the sylphs had no use for it, it could be given to subsequent travelers to taste.
After continuing to climb this endless ladder for three days, Ilosu and his party came to a wide platform. Here was the first landmark building that Ilosu needed. It can be said that they found this
Building, this formation is more than half successful.
There is a wooden house on a wide platform. There is a plaque hanging on the house. On the plaque, there are several large characters written like this:
Traders' Union.
The Travelers' Guild is a traveler's guild built on the ladder of heaven. No matter which world it is, it is full of people who can't stay in one place for a moment and who naturally like to move around and explore.
These people who were full of curiosity about some unknowns formed a loose alliance, which is the Traders Guild.
Most of the members of the Walker Guild are avid travelers who are no longer satisfied with traveling in one world. Most of these people have the idea of traveling across the entire multiverse with both feet.
It is said that the Walker Guild was in Sigil City more than thirty years ago, but the spaces in Sigil City are not stable, and most of them require special keys.

Therefore, the travel industry union moved their headquarters to the Endless Ladder for more convenience, and they also set up some branches on some large platforms to facilitate travelers to rest during the long journey.
It is said to be a trade union. When you walk in, you will find that this is just a small wooden house. On one side of the room is a low bar. A dwarf behind the bar did not even look at Elos who walked in.
The dwarf focused all his attention on one person in the room.
Excluding the bar, there is only room for three round tables in the room, and a woman is sitting on one of the round tables.
This woman has long fiery red hair, pointed elf ears, a pleated short shirt as her top, and a pair of long spikes on her belt flowing like a waterfall behind her.
Her spiraling red-trimmed cloak is painted with alternating patterns of swords and clubs, sticks and cups.
This woman is sitting on a chair and resting. There is a glass of golden ale on her table, and cards are being dealt out in her hand. She is playing cards.
The red-haired woman's face was a little thin. It was obvious that she was very happy even playing cards alone. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
This smile is different from the evil and sarcastic smile of Iloth, and it is also different from the weird smile that appears on the corners of Themis's mouth unconsciously when she kills people. This is a simple and happy smile, and there is something in it.
It contains only simple pleasure.
The dwarf behind the bar hesitated for a while, then seemed to have made up his mind, walked up to the red-haired woman with a piece of parchment and a quill and said:
"My Lady, the Queen, could you please sign a signature for me and write it to the knowledgeable Wulfgar Haudehook?"

The red-haired woman seemed to be confused by this intrusive move, but she quickly reacted. She chuckled and shook her head, and finally wrote the words of his request on the place designated by the dwarf.
"Well, do you think this is okay? Wulfgar," the red-haired woman said with a smile, "Okay, now that you have my signature, you should go take care of your guests."
"Guest!? What guest?"
Only then did the dwarf see Elos and his party who had been standing at the door, "Nine gods, I didn't expect guests to come to this place. They are all new faces, they must be travelers, right? Please come in and have a seat.
This is a small branch of the Walker Guild, and it provides first-class dwarf ale, food and accommodation."
