Finding the Sacred Tree

A Fun Steam Shower

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 because to keep 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.

"What's the matter uncle? He said we're going in."

"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.

"It has. Come to my house, actually, he's right behind this house."

We walked next to the house. Beside the house was a small street like an alley. So we went down that road to Uncle Tapoc's house.

Even if it's an alley, there's no trash, or trash cans like the one that's always in every alley in a typical person's place. The alley was very clean, even too clean, like there was someone who always cleared that path.

It turned out that the alley was quite long and it took up to 2-3 minutes to get out of that alley. Once out, there was another big road waiting for us.

There are also a lot of people who are dressed neatly and also luxuriously passing by on the big road. Nobody uses a horse-drawn carriage here, everything is on foot.

We also walked with the people there. That's where I saw a big house. It was 3 times bigger than the house before it. Even in the house there is also a very spacious courtyard with decorated trees and beautiful flowers.

Not only the trees, there are also many gold-colored army statues that adorn the courtyard. In that night also a lot of workers who are tidying the grass, watering plants, and also polishing the gold-colored statue earlier. If counted. There may be 10 people doing different jobs. At first I thought that the house belonged to one of the royal higher ups. But then uncle tapoc spoke like this.

"Here's my house."

I was surprised to hear Uncle Tapoc say. I even couldn't believe his words. But then he walked casually to the house and he was warmly welcomed by the workers there.

"Welcome back, mr. tapoc." The workers greeted their master while bowing their bodies.

There I was still silent as my mouth gaped a little. As if I can't believe what I'm seeing right now.

Seeing me dumbfounded again, uncle Tapoc came up to me again and patted me on the shoulder which made me realize.

"Hey.don't be dumb anymore. Take it easy this is your real uncle's house. Let's go in."

"Umm. Good uncle." I nodded, but I was still amazed by his home.

We walked together to the big front door. While walking I thought. What exactly is uncle tapoc's job. How could he have a house this big. The question kept spinning in my head until it made me not realize we were at his door.

When it was close, the door was bigger than before. Even I was thinking how to open it, it must be a very heavy door. But then uncle tapoc just touched his finger on the door and it opened by itself.

When the door opened, there were already beautiful young ladies in maid clothes. Welcoming our arrival.

"Welcome Mr. Tapoc and Mr. Rakka." The servants bowed their bodies with both hands placed on their stomachs.

"I've been waiting for your arrival Mr. Rakka. Please follow me, sir. I'll change your clothes." One of the blond women came forward and took me to the dressing room.

"Eh..what is this?" I was confused because I was suddenly invited by a beautiful woman.

"Just calm down, he'll just change your clothes. So better follow it."

"It's too late that uncle speaks that."

I followed the blonde woman through the hallway. As we walked, the woman spoke to me

"Greetings to Mr. Rakka, I'm Vivi. I am your personal assistant starting today. So if you need anything just tell me. I will fulfill your request immediately."

I was a bit surprised that I would get a personal assistant, let alone her assistant was a woman as beautiful as her. So at that time I just agreed.

After a few minutes of walking in the hallway, we finally reached a room. Vivi opened the door and I was told to go in first.

I just follow him and I go in first. After entering, how surprised I saw so many fancy clothes neatly arranged in the closet. In the room there are various clothes with different models. There are models in suits like having uncle tapoc, there are also collared clothes that are also very good and of course expensive. Not only that there is also a shirt that is very smooth and soft when I touch. Anyway in the room was full of fancy clothes and also high quality.

"Good sir. Which shirt do you want to wear?"

Because there are too many clothes here I get confused about what to wear so I also told Vivi to choose it.

"Umm. You're the only one who chooses, Vivi."

"Well, then, please wait, sir."

I also waited while watching Vivi pick out clothes for me. It appears there that Vivi chose a suit like that of Uncle Tapoc, but the suit is dark blue.

"What if this is sir?"

Because I don't really care which way I want, so I just agree.

"That's okay too."

"Well shall I take this suit. Then let's go to the master's bathroom?"

"For what?"

Vivi opened the door and let me go first.

"Of course take a shower, sir."

Come to think of it, I haven't had a shower this morning. I was too busy spending time with my parents. In fact, I usually do not shower because I will definitely sweat again because of exercise. Usually I take a shower after training and it can be afternoon or evening.

I smelled my armpits and there was no smell, because I just took a shower last night and after a shower I didn't do anything to make me sweat. At first I did not want to accept her offer to take a bath, but because I was forced, I just went along.

As before, this house turned out to be very large, a lot of hallways after aisle that I passed just to be able to get to the bathroom.

After 3 minutes we finally reached the door. Unlike other rooms, which have only one small door. The bathroom has two doors and is also large. Although not as big as the front door, but this is already half the size of the front door.

Like a tapoc uncle who opens the front door by touching it. Vivi also touched her finger at the door and the door opened itself.

When it opened, there was steam coming out from between the doors. The steam was touching my feet and it was warm and also very comfortable. After the door was wide open. There are a lot of women waiting for me. They were dressed like maids, but were a bit different. Her clothes are like being set aside for this bathroom.

"Welcome, Mr. Rakka. Let's.let us clean your body." The waiter bowed politely.

"Eh..why are there servants here?"

"Those in charge of bathing you, sir. You should not doubt. They'll clean up some of the shit you have on your body."

"That's not what I was thinking, but.." I haven't had a chance to talk, Vivi directly pushed me into the crowd of servants.

"Well then. I'll wait outside, sir. Enjoy it." Vivi bowed politely and the door began to close.

I wanted to get out, but the door closed faster than me. The servants swarmed over me and they smiled as if they liked this job.

"Good sir. Take off your clothes, let us clean your body."

At that time I was worried, I did not know that I was currently happy because in the crowd there were many beautiful women, or ashamed that I would be naked with them. But at that time I just let go. I better obey them. Besides, if I refused, they would still insist on bathing me because of orders from Uncle Tapoc.

I was naked and bathed by them. Every inch in my body was cleaned thoroughly and also very well. That part of my back that I usually never clean because I can't reach her. Now it's cleaned by those women.

Every woman cleans 1 of every body. Some cleaned my hands, some cleaned my feet, some even cleaned up. I'm honestly very embarrassed right now. Hopefully no one will comment let alone gossip about my body.

To clean my body takes about 15 minutes. When it was over one of the women gave me a warm towel to cover my cock and then he asked.

"Do you want to try a hot bath, sir."

"Submerging hot water?" I wrapped the ******** with my towel provided.

Honestly, it's very good. Because right now my body is still all sick due to my training last week and may be able to recover from a hot bath.

"Hmm.. Could ya?"

"Of course, sir. Now you will be our young master."

After careful thought, I accepted his offer.

"All right then. I'll try."

"Well then, please wait a minute. We'll get it ready soon."

Initially the place was flat, but then a mound appeared that had a hole in the middle. Then the hole was filled with hot water that made the place filled with steam. I couldn't see because of the steam, and then on the wall in the upper corner there was some kind of air space that made the steam suck there and the steam disappeared.

"The hot water is ready, sir." The female servant was suddenly beside me. I was surprised because of that too.

"I'm just gonna go in here."

"Yes, sir, but you have to take off your towel first."

"That's it." I took off my towel and gave it to the waiter. I then approached the hot tub. At first I tried to touch it with my finger, and it wasn't too hot, but still I reflexively pulled out my finger quickly, like I felt the water was very hot.

"What's up, sir? Is it too hot."

"No no, it's just fine."

"Good then, but if you need anything just say it, sir."

"Yes, I'll call you later, if I need anything. So for now can't leave me alone."

"Okay, sir, then we'll wait outside."

The women left immediately after I ordered. The place was quiet, there was no one there but me. But I prefer this, I can't stand my embarrassment anymore.

After the servants left I tried to soak myself slowly. When my body is submerged. There was a feeling of relaxation in my body that made me feel like I was unwilling to move from that place. My muscles loosened, my heartbeat beat slowly, my eyes closed in half. My body looked so comfortable that it made the pain that haunted me earlier disappear

"Ah..comfortably.unexpectedly soaking in hot water can be as comfortable as this."

Back when I was with my parents, I never once, soaked in hot water. I didn't even know that hot water could make a bath.

When I thought about my parents, I realized my father's words that the elite people were bathing in hot steam. I used to think that what you meant was a real steam bath, but now I know what you really meant.

"Did you ever shower here? How could he possibly know that elite people bathed in steam without ever trying it. So it's possible that you were also bathed by beautiful women earlier."

The question of how do you know that elite people bathe with steam constantly spinning in their heads. But because of the comfort of this hot water, I did not continue and chose to ask uncle tapoc later.

After a few 10 minutes of soaking there was a waiter who approached me. I didn't call, but he came to me himself and it confused me.

"Hmm?" I looked puzzledly at one of the servants who approached me.

"Sorry to bother you, sir. But Mr. Tapoc called you."

"What did uncle call me."

"I don't know for sure, but he said it was important."

Because he said it was important, I got up.

"All right then I'll see him soon."

The waiter wanted to leave but I called him again.

"Oh yes. Please bring me my clothes that Vivi brought with me, too."

"Good sir." The waiter bowed politely and then left.

I also came out of the tub and shortly after it appeared the servants who bathed me earlier while bringing the suit that Vivi chose earlier.

Although I was still completely naked at the time, but somehow I wasn't ashamed anymore, or maybe it was because I didn't care anymore. They all saw it clearly, after all.

"Sir, please go to the small room there first, let us dress you first."

I obeyed him and then went into the restroom in the right corner of the bathroom. I didn't go in alone there were two women coming with me and one of them brought me my suit and a towel.

When inside, there is a mirror of 2 meters and also a shelf that contains a lot of tubular containers that I do not know what the contents are.

Me and the 2 women were already in that small room. One of the servants dried my body first with a towel that he had brought before. Not only my body, my hair is also dried with a towel.

After my body was a little dry, the other waiter took one of the containers and opened it. Inside the container there was a white gel and the gel was very fragrant.

"That's what?" I asked because I was wondering what it was.

"It's lotion, sir. This is useful for moisturizing and also scenting your body."

"Lotions? What's it made of?"

"Qualified natural ingredients, sir. Like, olive oil, aloe vera, and shea butter."

[Note: Shea butter is the fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree. If you need more information just search on google, because I also search there hehehe]

Well you could say it's a very quality material. Because I've never heard of any of those plants. I have studied the various plants in the world by reading the book my mother gave me as a child. Even though I have read many books. The plant that the waiter mentioned earlier I've never heard of before.

The waiter put the lotion on my body.

"Umm...if you can know what plant it is? I never heard."

"Yes.it's only natural that you don't know the plant, sir. Because the plant has just been cultivated by master tapoc 3 months this."

"Hah.paman tapoc make new plants and also this lotion."

"Yes sir. Actually this lotion has been sold to the nobles 1 month ago and the lotion received positive reviews from the nobles who make very high demand at this time. Reportedly, the tapoc master will also sell this lotion to ordinary residents at a cheaper price and it may be able to make a big change in this kingdom, it can't be all over the world."

"Hum..he's great, too, uncle tapoc."

"Indeed. In addition to making changes in technology, she also wanted to make changes in terms of cosmetics."

"Change in technology?"

"Yes sir, don't you know."

"Know what?"

"You really don't know, sir." The servants were surprised by my statement and it made me even more confused, who exactly is this uncle Tapoc.

"Don't know, why the hell?"

"That tapoc master is famous everywhere, sir."

"Really, I don't know."

"Have you never read the paper, sir. For years, mr. tapoc has always appeared in the papers because of his prowess."

I love to read books, but I don't like to read newspapers because it's boring. I once tried to read a newspaper as a child, but because it was only political and political. I stayed away because I didn't like dealing with politics.

"Never, who is Uncle Tapoc? Was he so famous that he kept appearing in newspapers for years?"

"He was a genius who managed to make master magic tools. He's famous everywhere for it."

"wait.the uncle who made the magic tool? He's the one who made all those amazing magic tools."

"Yes sir, how do you not know. If not wrong you are the son of a friend of the master tapoc right. Didn't he tell you?"

"I was told that Tapoc's uncle was a gun dealer and I still think he's a gun dealer ever since."

"That was 6 years ago, sir. And he used to not only sell, but also make weapons in his shop."

"Oh yeah, but how...." My words stopped because the waiter had finished dressing me.

"It's over, sir. If you want to ask further, better just ask directly to mr. tapoc, sir."

I who was too focused on talking with the waiter finally saw the mirror and it turned out that the suit was very suitable for my body. The deep blue color of the suit which was like the night sky made my appearance mysterious and also charming.

My skin was initially dry and dull. It is soft as baby skin. My hair also feels soft and smooth like silk thread, but my hair is still curly like before.

"Wow...does this suit suit me? I don't know why, I feel like this shirt is too expensive for me."

"Of course it suits my master. Because of your ideal posture, make the suit fit on your body."

"That's really so."

"True to my master."

"That's yeah. Thank you umm...."

"Call me Sani, sir"

"And me, Rani, sir"

"Hum...Thank you Sani, Rani. Then I'll go. I'm sure Uncle Tapoc has been waiting for me too long."

"Okay, sir, we'll take you out." I went out with the two servants.

Actually I wanted to ask if they were twins or not, but because uncle tapoc told me to come to him. I stopped my intention and quickly left the bathroom.

When I was outside, there was Vivi waiting for me. He bowed to me when I came out and then said.

"You fit that suit perfectly, sir. You're like the prince of a fairy tale."

To be honest I kind of blushed embarrassed by her words, but I held her back, while pura coughed.

"Uhuk.tadi uncle tapoc told me to come to his right. You know where it is."

Vivi stood straight back up, but her hands were still on her stomach.

"Yes, sir, I told you the place."

"Good, then please deliver me."

"Good sir. Then follow me." Vivi nodded her head and then left. I was behind him, following him.
