After getting the fruits of those sin thorns, the pure white saint quickly left in a hurry, as if she wanted to verify some of her conjectures.
Matilda took Aiwass and prepared to go downstairs to their residence.
Generally speaking, this should actually be a purely white job. Cardinal Matilda generally does not leave the Congregation for Holy Orders.
But since Pure White had personal matters to deal with, the blue-haired cardinal chose to take care of Aiwass for her.
Whether he is a student, a guest, an archbishop or a key person who can solve Ningbo... you cannot give him an address and just throw him away.
"Remember this, Aiwass."
Matilda took Aiwass onto the lift platform and introduced him: "This kind of lift platform has twelve groups on each floor. You can go to the place closest to you and wait. Each group has one person going to the lift platform.
The upper one goes down - the golden one only goes up, the black one only goes down. There will be a three-minute pause at each level.
"If there are too many people, just wait for the next one at the door and don't crowd. Although there is barrier protection, it is still very dangerous."
Matilda patiently guided Aiwass as if teaching a child how to ride an elevator for the first time.
Aivas nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, this thing looks dangerous.
Although this "elevator" has handrails, it is not fully enclosed at all. It looks like a protruding viewing balcony, which is very awkward.
The timing device here is also very visual.
This lifting platform is not solid at all, but a kind of barrier. Its metal part is actually a ring, and it looks more like a force field generator. There are even vines spreading on this black stand
The dark golden luminous texture gradually fills in the black disc-shaped stand.
When it was full, with a burst of dark golden light, the disk broke away from the ring and began to fall.
It's falling pretty fast.
After a short delay, it was like falling. The strong feeling of weightlessness made Lily a little scared - or she nervously held Aiwass's arm. However, Aiwass had no reaction to this, and even felt a little nostalgic.
Soon, they suddenly began to slow down. Then they slowly stopped on the twelfth floor.
Some people leave here, and some people come in from outside.
Lily breathed a sigh of relief.
Aiwass felt that her palms were sweating.
He subconsciously glanced at Sherlock and found that he was unexpectedly calm. He was just holding his hands in boredom.
"Your luggage has been delivered to your residence by the guards."
Cardinal Matilda's tone was gentle, like a mother's instructing: "Your residence is in the fifth circle, and the place of study is in the ninth circle. It's not that I don't want to prepare a residence for you in the ninth circle... But from now on
There are basically elves from there on up, and you may not be able to adapt to the elves' pace and way of life. And there may be some elves who are quite exclusive.
"From the fifth ring downwards, currencies can be used normally. The environments of the sixth and seventh rings are relatively primitive, so don't go there if you have nothing to do. There are no guards stationed there, so it may be dangerous.
"If you have something you want to buy, you can go to the First Circle, which has the most complete range of things. If you can't carry the thing, you can hire trolls to help you move it. They have a lot of strength, and the hiring price is low.
Not expensive.
"The fifth ring is a floor that is more focused on research, and it is already very quiet compared to the lower floors. If you want to live on a lower floor, you can tell me, or you can tell Pure White. We can also adjust it for you.
to the lower level.
"The living area of each ring is quite large. If you want to travel, you can find some raised houses in the middle of each ring. They are near the lifting platform. Just like the lifting platform, there are always
When rotating, you can quickly go to a certain partition through them. Then go inside or outside to find it, which will be closer.
"Remember not to hurt the giant tree. This is an absolute taboo. Therefore, the scale of the battle is strictly limited here... If there is a dispute with others, try to resolve it without damaging the ground."
Having said this, Cardinal Matilda glanced at Aiwass and then at Sherlock: "Try not to use flame-type abilities. This is not outside, and the ground cannot withstand burning. If the ground is destroyed, look around immediately
The elf bishop is here to heal the ground, don’t run away—His Majesty the Pope is watching you.”
"Heal the ground?"
Sherlock suddenly asked: "Is this also...'higher magic'?"
"That's right."
Matilda nodded: "'Lighting' is actually a healing technique that can only be used on creatures with lifespan, feelings, and intelligence. Therefore, lighting cannot help plants recover from injuries, let alone the remains left by the apostles.
"Healing the divine body is already a high-level divine art, so it is very troublesome."
She smiled at Aiwass: "I'm very optimistic about you. Maybe you can really learn advanced magic."
They were chatting and soon the elevator descended to the fifth floor.
Matilda took Aiwass to the "Eternal Motion Circle", and Aiwass asked curiously: "When will I start learning?"
"Not urgent."
Matilda said casually.
She said with a smile: "Why don't you have more fun? It's a rare trip. You can wander around here... Oh, by the way. When you went to the first circle, you didn't buy the 'Access Book', right? That one seems to be quite expensive.
of."
"I didn't buy it," Sherlock replied.
"It's okay if you don't buy it," Matilda said. "You can get free access manuals in every hotel and house from the first ring to the fifth ring road. But they are all in Elvish... You should understand Elvish.
Yes, right?"
When she spoke later, she had already switched to Elvish.
Previously, only Chunbai and Yanis spoke in Elvish, as well as during the ceremony when Aiwass accepted the status of archbishop. In all other conversations, in order to take care of Aiwass, everyone spoke in Avalon.
language.
"...In other words," the corner of Sherlock's mouth rose sarcastically, "those goblins actually translated a copy of these free things and sold them for money, right? Isn't this considered fraud, Matilda?
Cardinal?"
"It doesn't count. Because there are indeed people who don't understand Elvish."
Cardinal Matilda shook her head: "So there are indeed people in need - what we can guarantee is that you will get the things as long as you pay for them. But how much the things should be sold for is beyond our control and we have no control.
.
"Because transportation costs, labor costs, losses and others have to be taken into account, it is unfair to price based on the value of the product itself. And we have no intention of studying such things that change quickly, so we leave these to the market itself to adjust.
If someone is selling something that is too expensive, someone is bound to sell a cheaper version.
"What we are responsible for is to prevent violence and fraud. For example, using violence to monopolize a certain product, or giving money but not giving something, or taking something without giving money - or playing word games and giving things
It's not the same thing as what's being sold.
"So when you go shopping, be sure to keep an eye on the price. It is impossible to get a refund after buying something that you feel is too expensive or unnecessary."
Having said this, Cardinal Matilda smiled slightly: "Cardinal Loki has done some research on this point. He believes that fraud is necessary - it is precisely because of the existence of fraud that people's conversations and actions will be flexible. This
It is a kind of social lubrication that leaves flexibility and room for everyone, and also makes people willing to think about the words and deeds of others."
"Indeed," Aiwass nodded, "If a society is completely free of fraud, it will only reduce people's thinking ability, but it will not eradicate 'unintentional misinformation'. For example, forgetfulness or misunderstanding."
"Cardinal Igor has an interesting point about misunderstandings between people..."
While chatting, Cardinal Matilda led Aiwass and his party to the residence.
It was not a particularly big house. It was even smaller than the small villa that Princess Isabel gave to Aiwass.
From the outside, it looks like a two-story wooden house, with each floor only about 80 square meters. Naturally, there are no courtyards, swimming pools or gardens.
But what makes Sherlock a little confused is that the door of this house has no keyhole or handle.
He tentatively stretched out his hand to push the door open. As his hand approached the door, a vine handle suddenly grew out of the door.
This startled Sherlock a little. His hands froze in the air.
Aiwass directly grasped the handle, turned it and entered the house.
After they all entered, the door was closed. From the inside, the door was still smooth and clean, with no handle.
"Only when you residents and the Cardinal are close to the door will there be a handle."
Cardinal Matilda smiled and said: "This is also a kind of security organization - although it is of little significance, it is generally absolutely safe in the church.
"This is a newly built room. There have been no guests before, so you don't have to worry about anything left behind. Everything is new. There are four bedrooms here, two on each floor. The toilet, dining room and study are also on each floor.
One of each."
With that said, she led everyone to the outermost bedroom on the first floor and pulled the door handle.
She proudly introduced: "These wooden cabinets are also the kindness of giant trees. You can put uneaten food in them, and you can also put clothes in them. When used as a wardrobe, your clothes can be cleaned automatically. As long as it
It’s not too dirty; 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 wither and meat will not rot..."
Cardinal Matilda said and opened one of the cabinets.
——The next moment, a fresh elf corpse fell out of the storage cabinet with a clang.
