Finding the Sacred Tree

New House part 1

After that we rented a horse carriage because uncle tapoc's house was in the center of the city and it was the place of the elites, the place of the rich. This place is a place of smart and dignified people.

In this kingdom, his people are divided into 3. These are elite people, ordinary people and also slums. Of course their places are distinguished as well. Usually the elite people live in the center of the kingdom and there are a lot of large and luxurious houses. Not only that, there are more facilities and also sophisticated. My father used to say that in the place of the elites there are many sophisticated magic tools, such as they do not bathe with water, but by using steam. To be honest I still do not believe the words of the father at that time, because where maybe the steam can clean the dirt on the body. Then most of the people there were royal officials and also people from trade unions.

Next is ordinary people. They live around the main front gate and also on the edge of the center of the kingdom.ordinary people yes. Everyone in this place usually works as a farmer or trader. If monster hunters usually also live in this place, but sometimes there are also monster hunters who live in the center of the kingdom, and usually that monster hunter is a professional monster hunter who can already hunt strong monsters. I also live in this place. Actually my father could have stayed in the center of the kingdom, but he chose in an ordinary place because it was more comfortable and peaceful.

Next the slums. They were married on the outskirts of the kingdom and also at the back gate. In the past, the back gate had the same function as the front gate, which was as a place to enter and exit the merchants, or also the nobles of other kingdoms. But because of past events that caused the gate was badly damaged to make the door can not be repaired anymore which makes the gate was no longer used and only so the gate to the slums are out of the kingdom. Most of the people there are scavengers, beggars and unemployed. In addition, there are thieves hiding in the slums.

Actually everyone already knows that many thieves hide in the slums, but everyone does not want to go to that place because it is too dirty and also disgusting. Many people in that place never bathe or clean their place and that makes the slums the dirtiest and disgusting place in the kingdom. In the slums there is also a market and the price of the goods is very cheap, but do not expect too high with the quality of the goods. In the market it usually sells used goods that still look good, or vegetables that are almost rotten.

To be honest, I feel a bit sorry for the people who live in the slums, they rarely eat there and if they eat, they have to scavenge the leftovers in the trash. Which of course is not hygienic and maybe it can make them fall ill. And if they are sick, they cannot see a doctor because of the expensive medical costs.

After 15 minutes we rode on the horse-drawn carriage, we finally reached the outskirts of the royal center. We stopped here because the horse-drawn carriage was forbidden to enter the center of the kingdom and it was to maintain the cleanliness of the city. From there we walked to Uncle Tapoc's house. I thought it was a long trip, but just a few minutes we reached Uncle Tapoc's house.

At first I was surprised to see Uncle Tapoc's big house, but I expected it. So I'm not too surprised.

"Well, big uncle's house, too."

"Hehehe. It's just ordinary. There's still a bigger house than this."

"But still, it's still bigger than my house."

"Already have. Don't keep praising me, we better get home."

I nodded without speaking and then I immediately walked into the house while looking at its splendor. I saw it several times, and from all sides. That house is really nice. Judging from its height, the house may have 2 floors. I can guess that the window and the door are made of quality wood and also expensive. It could be seen from how delicate and lamentable the wood was. The motif of the wood carving on the door looks complicated, but also very charming. Like there's artwork on that door.

I was at the door and wanted to open it. I held the door leaf that was round in shape. When I touched it I knew it was not iron, but pure gold. On the door leaf there is also an intricate carving, but charming. To be honest when I held it, my body immediately goosebumps. Whether it was because the door leaf was cold or because the door leaf was made of very expensive gold. I don't know, but obviously my body gets goosebumps when I hold it.

When I opened that door. There was no squeaking sound like the sound of a pinch rat coming out of that door hinge. I also opened the door very easily like I turned a piece of paper. When the door was fully opened, someone suddenly called me and it was Uncle Tapoc.

"Rakka!"

I turned around, but the door was still wide open.

"That's not my house."

"Huh?"

"That's.not.my house!"

After hearing that I put on a flat face, blinking my eyes many times. I faced the front again and inside the house was a group of families relaxing.

There his mother was holding a vegetable spoon, her father just came down. He looks neat and wants to go to work, and there are also 2 children who used to play chases, now silent looking at me. Everyone in the house looked at me with a confused look. I was also confused and embarrassed. To cover up my shame, I did something.

"Hello father mother. Do you want to subscribe to clean water from the mountains. The water is fresh."

Yes, I'm a water seller. So that I don't shy away from entering people's homes.

"Ah.sorry we do not need anymore, because we have subscribed to Merula company."

"Oh that's it. Too bad, even though our water is fresher."

"I'm sorry, but we don't need any more."

"Well. yasudah. I'll just find someone else. Then excuse me." I closed the door and quickly walked over to Uncle Tapoc.

"Why uncle didn't tell you from the beginning." I scolded Uncle Tapoc

"I've been yelling from earlier, but you're dumb and even cheering on."

Yes it's not wrong, I've been dumbfounded to see the beauty of the house and it makes me unable to reply to the words of uncle tapoc.

"Now, don't get angry. It's common for people to enter the house here, so don't be shy, let alone have to pretend as a water seller." Uncle tapoc laughed a little.

I was irritated when I laughed at Uncle Tapoc, but I couldn't do anything about it because it was my own fault. And honestly I also don't know why I had to be a water seller earlier and after I thought about it again it turned out to be quite embarrassing.
