My Waste Husband

Chapter 1227

Staring at the empty plate, Cayetano wasn't even sure if the beef was actually served or not.

Ranjeet burped and licked his lips with dissatisfaction.

Cayetano wanted to order another plate, but thinking about the money in his pocket, he smiled bitterly, "Haha, let's drink."

Henry didn't care what Cayetano would order. He knew that whatever Cayetano ordered, it would never be enough for Ranjeet.

"By the way, Cayetano, I have another question. What is that?" Henry said, pointing toward the outside of the restaurant.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly.

Cayetano shook his head and said, "I don't know. There was sun before I came here. I heard from older people that it is done by some kind of light reflection technology. But still, no one can explain why."

Henry was puzzled and asked, "It shouldn't be a hard thing for people living here to go up and have a look, right? The indigenous people are also very powerful."

"No," Cayetano solemnly shook his head, "Syl, don't underestimate Recluse World. There are a lot of spells cast here. According to the legend, this place once was an ancient battlefield, and the spells were left from then. It's not that no one is curious about the sun. But the higher you go, the hotter it will be. People who tried to reach for the top were melted, and not a bone left behind."

"Spells..." Henry stroked his lips. He already had his experience with spells. Even people as powerful as Silas were locked away by spells, Henry couldn't start to imagine what people would

use on the ancient battlefield. It was as mysterious as space. Henry could only speculate but never be able to find out.

Two bottles of liquor had finished.

Cayetano laid coins on the table to pay the check.

The currency here was similar to the currency used in ancient times. The look of the coins combined the characteristics of both the ancient Asian coins and European coins. The smallest value was copper, and then it was silver. The highest value was gold.

Except for the material, all the coins looked the same.

After Cayetano introduced the currency, Henry asked.

"Can I use the gold from the outside?"

"No," Cayetano shook his head, "The main goal of this society is to encourage people to hunt Demonic Beasts in exchange for coins. All the coins have the special mark of Recluse World. The punishment for using unauthorized coins is death by losing one's head."

Henry nodded.

Cayetano paid the check and walked out of the restaurant with Henry and Ranjeet.

"Syl, in this micro- world, the population of the town is three hundred thousand. But the total population is close to five hundred. The two hundred thousand difference is the wild adventurers living outside of the town. They are a bunch of ruthless people. So I suggest you travel in groups when going out to hunt Demonic Beasts. If you found yourself hunting alone, it's more dangerous if you run into a wild adventurer than a monster."

"Wild adventurers? Are they any different from the adventurers?" Henry was puzzled.

"Of course," Cayetano nodded, "There are seven major towns in Recluse World. They are named after seven continents. Each town is supported by its corresponding bishop, and the lord is the confidant of the bishop. This town isn't one of the seven major towns. It's called Limbo. It is the town where outsiders first arrive. It's also the rest stop for the adventurers. The wild adventurers are rebels from the seven major towns. They are working with Demonic Beasts to hunt us and earn resources from Demonic Beasts. In their eyes, we are the tools for advancing their power."

Henry nodded and kept Cayetano's words in mind. He was not surprised that someone would work with Demonic Beasts. People would go where there were benefits. Moreover, the creators of Demonic Beasts were also human beings.

"Come on. It's time to go. I'll tell you more on the way. If nothing huge happens, I guess you two would live in Recluse World for a very long time. Once you have enough achievement, you can apply for a position in Recluse Association and have a great life."

Cayetano patted Henry on the back.

Limbo wasn't big, and it didn't have walls either. Henry had been following Cayetano for about ten minutes, and the buildings were getting fewer, and so did people. Eventually, there was only a beaten track under Henry's feet, and a couple of trees stood by the track. Henry knew they had walked out of the town.

"Syl, let me take you to the town of the Eastern Continent first. We are not as strong as the other continent, and the other continents look down on us, but we don't have that much conspiracy and battles over power either."

"How many people are there in the town of the Eastern Continent?" Henry asked.

"Around thirty thousand," Cayetano answered. "Recent years, there are fewer members of the Eastern Continent coming in here. This is also one of the reasons why the town of the Eastern Continent is the weakest."

Henry nodded.

As they were walking, the sun started to fall, just as the sun would do in the real world.

Shadows were getting longer.

Cayetano told Henry that they would reach the town of the Eastern Continent in another three hours.

"Mr. Cayetano, I saw people are traveling on horseback. Can we also get a horse?" Ranjeet pouted, walking in the back.

Cayetano felt the coin punch and showed a hit of embarrassment.

Henry patted Cayetano on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. It will be dark soon."

"Yes," Cayetano nodded. He said awkwardly, "Syl, I'm really sorry. Recently, our Eastern Continent..."

"Haha, we are all from the same place. There's no need to explain," Henry waved his hand, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have had a meal."

Cayetano knew that Henry was trying to make him feel better. There would always be people waiting to give outsiders a tour.

Cayetano looked at Henry gratefully and continued to lead the way.

Two hours later, the sky was completely dark. All three of them walked very fast.

"Soon, we'll be there in another hour." Cayetano looked into the distance.

All of a sudden, a woman's scream came from not far away.

"Sister! Be careful!" Another shouting voice was heard.
