392 Grantham 2
Young, energetic, and have the patience that ordinary young people lack.
Morris' nephew Giles, although he tried his best to leave Raymond with the first impression of being "honest and sincere", he was a slightly more mentally conscious type in Raymond's feeling and was not a very suitable candidate.
But Raymond, who was new to the city, was not ready to contact the local family or Shadow House soon, so Raymond finally decided to let Giles act as his guide here temporarily to solve the preliminary affairs he needed to handle in Grantham.
"Gilles, since you are Morris' nephew, then you will temporarily handle the affairs for me as a steward," he deliberately increased the tone of the word "temporary", and Raymond, who looked straight into Giles' eyes, made a request. "Let me explain to you first about the situation of Grantham, the Grantham Plain and this tree world tree."
Giles, who immediately bowed and thanked him, was a little happy, but he immediately explained to Raymond.
The center of the entire fairy world is this world tree, and the plain where its roots are located is called the Grantham Plain, and its first canopy is Grantham.
From a distance, the canopy of the World Tree looks like a flat circle, but in fact, each layer of the World Tree is a slightly sunken funnel shape. Its position close to the main trunk of the World Tree is the lowest, while the edge of the tree is the highest.
Raymond is currently at the edge of the first canopy of the World Tree, and each canopy of the World Tree is actually not a circle, but a drop of water.
The southern area of Grantham, with a pointed top and round bottom, is a fan with very small arc variations. The northerly it narrows the edge. Finally, the northerly extends from the east and west sides, the finally gathering canopy is connected by huge auxiliary roots that appear from top to bottom, forming a giant barrier similar to the trunk of the world tree.
It is said that the shape of the first layer of the World Tree canopy that was once drawn. According to the area statistics, if calculated based on the main trunk of the World Tree as the dividing line, the area in southern Grantham is only one-quarter of the northern part.
At present, the Grantham Plain is located below the Grantham Plain, which is a place where ordinary people live. Although the area is vast, the free energy in the environment is relatively thin for wizards. Therefore, as long as they are successfully enlightened, they will try their best to enter the first canopy of the treetops of the world to settle down.
Therefore, although the Grantham Plain is the birthplace of the World Tree, the true center of the Fairy World should actually be the first canopy of the World Tree, that is, Grantham.
The second canopy of the World Tree above everyone is an area with great climate change and extremely harsh living conditions. It is a buffer zone between the indigenous people of the Fairy World and the current residents. It is an area that cannot be set foot without strength and is extremely dangerous.
The third layer of the World Tree. It is the smallest place in the world tree crown, but it is the area completely occupied by the Crown of Glory. It is the last paradise for the indigenous people of the Fairy World. It excludes the entry of all non-fair creatures and members of the Crown of Glory.
Giles, who had drawn the topographic map of the first crown of the World Tree for Raymond on the ground, drew a concentric circle along the main trunk of the World Tree at the center, explained in detail Grantham's division of power to Raymond.
Outside this concentric circle area, the entire southwestern part of Grantham, is controlled by the Major League, while the Point of Ayre dominates the eastern part of this concentric circle, and the slightly less powerful Black Witch Tower controls a small area in the western part of Grantham.
The vast area in the north of Grantham is a public resource area and is not ruled by any force.
The circular area called the "ring region" that is closest to the backbone of the World Tree is a neutral zone under common supervision by all forces.
In this ring area, serious conflicts are not allowed. Members of various organizations are not allowed to settle, because it is a settlement place for neutrals and a safe area for the wizards who are dedicated to growing up before joining major forces.
"Mr. Raymond, if you join any force, your housing will be provided by these forces and only need to pay a small fee," pointing to the areas controlled by major forces, Giles introduced the principles of residence here. "If you want to settle in the ring, you not only need to make a promise not to violate the regulations of the ring, but also have to pay the full amount of the cost of settled there."
"Commitment? Is there still a commitment required to settle in the ring?" He listened carefully to Giles' introduction, but Raymond was still a little confused when he heard the word. "What kind of commitment?"
Giles, who had a hint of helplessness on his face, immediately began to recite the relevant regulations. "Do not harm any fairy creature, do not launch malicious attacks, do not conduct research on black witchcraft and related experiments..."
There were dozens of regulations, and Giles was soon recited, and helpless Raymond also appeared on his face, but he understood the conditions for settling in the surrounding area.
It should be said that this is the place where neutral wizards live in Grantham. Wizards who do not join major organizations must abide by the regulations of the Circle and do not interfere in the disputes of forces. While ensuring that they do not harm the fairies of the crown of glory, they have the power to live there and are jointly protected by all forces.
But this means that the wizards who settled there must give up all the benefits they can enjoy when joining the organization and must rely on their own abilities to exchange for the conditions for living there.
To put it bluntly, it means giving up the ability to attack individually and maintain an absolutely neutral identity, and using a completely peaceful situation to exchange for security in the ring. It can potentially study or improve personal strength there.
Moreover, the settlement rights in the ring area are only once. If they are moved out, it means that they have permanently lost the qualification to settle in the ring area and can only choose to join other forces.
Seeing Raymond's expression hesitating, Giles smiled and pointed to the outside of the ring domain and said. "In addition to controlling the three major organizations in the entire Grantham, there are countless small organizations here. They belong to forces outside the three major organizations. All the wizards who settled in the ring domain can contact and trade with them."
