It would be great if I could get Saxi out of slavery.

"You still know how to read?"

"Except for higher-ranking nobles, it's rare to see a child as old as you know how to read."

"I know a little bit. Because it's not suitable for practicing swordsmanship, I learned to read and write. And I like books very much."

"Although it's useless to read characters. You little brat, aren't you amazing?"

After applying for documents, Cook and Sashi left the union with the guard uncles.

"Come on, you ambitious little nobleman."

"I look forward to your success."

Say goodbye to the guard uncles at the gate of the union.Cook and Suzy continued on their journey.

The identity card has been processed.The big thing left is to find a place to live.

Originally, this was the most troublesome thing for Cook.

Anyone who has traveled knows how important it is to find a suitable place to stay in an unfamiliar place.

The quality of the residence will affect the future work and life.Without a place to live, even if you work part-time, you can't settle down, let alone sit down and think about how to make a name for yourself.

Considering the limited funds.Finding cheap and comfortable accommodation is a serious problem.

But thanks to the guidance of the guards, Cook's most troublesome problem was solved.

"For accommodation, go to the cheap hotel next to the blacksmith's shop. People who come from the countryside and want to make a difference in the city live there. Although it is a bit noisy next to the blacksmith's shop, the price is cheap. And I heard from the residents , the stay is quite comfortable.”

"Thank you guard uncles."

I really met a nobleman.

Cook's trip went more smoothly than he imagined.

"What about Saxi? Both the papers and the house have been found."

"Master is amazing."

Saxi was also tired, and Cook wanted to let Saxi rest as soon as possible.

According to the tips of the guard uncles, Cook quickly found the hotel.

From the outside, the hotel is quite big.But not grand enough.It was far from the hotel that Cook had imagined for upper-class nobles.

Without entering the house, just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that it is for poor people.

The uncle guards probably didn't lie to Cook, this is a hotel for outsiders.

Sashi was a little resistant to the unfamiliar environment and did not dare to enter the hotel.Cook took Sha Xi's little hand and walked in front.

After entering the hotel, I saw a fat aunt at the front desk.

Auntie looked curiously at Loli and Zhengtai who entered the hotel alone.

"Are you separated from your parents?"

I knew I would be asked this again.

Cook explained the purpose of his visit, and the aunt, like everyone before, was skeptical at first. After seeing Cook's ID card, she believed him.

"For 2 people, 10 copper coins per day. Our price here is already the lowest in the city, and we won't make it cheaper for you two just because you two are children. If you think it's okay, then it's a deal."

"Okay. That's fine. I'm booking 10 days' rent."

Cook took out a silver coin and put the money on the counter on tiptoe, and the aunt led the two to see the house.

The house is a big one, almost 60 square meters.

The room has wooden floors and no other furniture.

There are already several occupants in the house.Everyone threw a piece of cloth on the ground seemingly casually, and divided their territories.Then rest in that small space.

With so many people living together, to be honest, Cook, who originally shared a room with his brothers in his own house, was a little repulsed.Saxi even more obviously showed resistance.

But considering the cheap price that 10 copper coins can let two people live for 1 day.Can't choose anything.

Cook's money must be spent carefully and in important places.The residence had to be like this.

"Ha. Is the guest this time a child? Is that a maid? I like it."

As soon as Cook walked in with his luggage on his back, a relatively frivolous young man among the tenants came to tease Cook.

Saxi was so frightened that she hid behind Cook.

Before Cook could speak, the landlady yelled at him loudly.

"Hey, be honest with me. Don't bully them just because they are children. You also know that the laws here are very strict. If you make trouble, be careful with your heads."

After being scolded by his aunt, the young man was speechless and continued to lie down and sleep.

Several other people also glanced at Cook, and went on with their own business.

"Come here. You two sleep here."

Auntie reserved the corner of the room for Cook and Suzy.This seemed to be the quietest place in the room.

After taking the person to the place, the aunt left again.

On the surface, he seems unreasonable, but in fact, he unexpectedly takes care of Cook and Sasi.Cook has really met many noble people in this industry.

Chapter 9: Working in a big city

Cook and Sashi walked to the corner of the room under the watchful eyes of everyone.Sure enough, the image of himself and Sha Xi was still too eye-catching.Even though Auntie had already vaccinated everyone in advance, she still couldn't quell everyone's curiosity.

Saxi was a little scared to be watched with interest like watching a wild animal in a zoo.

Cook also frowned because he didn't like this look.

During the short journey to the corner, Cook took the opportunity to look at everyone.

These people will be tenants living together in the future.It can also be said to be roommates.

It seems very difficult to have a good relationship with these people who seem to have different looks and temperaments.

Cook and Sashi came to the corner and followed the example of the others and threw the blankets on the ground.Just put down the backpack.

Carrying the backpack all the time, Cook felt back pain.

Compared with Cook, who directly showed the pain on his face, Saxi, who has been helping with various tasks at home, looks more relaxed.Cook felt so weak.Physical strength is not as good as a girl.

Just putting down the big backpack, Cook and Suzy had no time to catch their breath.The roommates who hadn't spoken just now all came over.

Everyone talked in a hurry, throwing out curious things all at once.

"Is it just the two of you? Where are the parents?"

"With a little maid. The kid is extravagant."

"If you bring a maid, you are a noble. Why do nobles live in this ghost place?"

"Are you eloping?"

Everyone said something to each other, which shocked Cook.Needless to say, Sashi had already been hiding behind Cook like a puppy for some time.

Cook knew that people in this world had little entertainment.

So if something new happens, people will immediately add a handful of fuel to the fire and ignite a mass of excited nonsense.

It was the same when I was at home, even if so-and-so's cow gave birth to a calf, everyone could chat with interest for half the time.

It is also because of the same reason that my father and mother are obsessed with 'human body refining'.

Speaking of this issue, Cook misses his computer, mobile phone, light novels, games and small O tablets.

Anyway, there is nothing to hide, so Cook told everyone about his situation.

As Cook spoke, the tenants made various noises.

Question, sigh, admire, despise...

Everyone reacted differently.

"It's true. The third child of a low-level noble family is in the same situation as me? But I don't dare to run away at the age of 11."

A young man aged 18-19 said so.

"I also came out to work hard. I want to save money and redeem myself from my master. As long as I am no longer a slave, my children can no longer be slaves."

The middle-aged uncle with a strong body said so.

"I ran out because I was too bored at home."

Said the frivolous-looking young man.

"I was kicked out of my family."

Said the decadent middle-aged man.

"I want to make a name for myself. I don't have land at home. I came here because I heard that it is easy to find a job in the city."

The muscular young man raised his arms and said.

Everyone talked about their own things, and the house was very lively.

"That's right. You guys come out and work hard. What can you do?"

I don’t know who said this. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Cook.

"Generally speaking, if you run out at such a young age, you must have something extraordinary. For example, superb sword skills."

"That's right. Or a gifted strength. It looks weak on the surface, but seriously, it can kill a bear with a single punch. Did you kill a monster when you were 3 years old?"

"There is also talk about special abilities. For example, it looks like a child, but it is a superb magician or something. If someone underestimates it, it will be slapped in the face."

"Grandpa is a sage or something?"

"Although he is a villager, his attributes are super high."

"Can open the legendary skill list."

"A friend with a bone adventurer or a slime?"

Everyone's words made Cook want to laugh inexplicably.

What the hell are these guys thinking?How could such a thing happen.These things are so unreal.Even in modern novels, this kind of complex will not appear.

Moreover, everyone is talking about the martial arts faction.Are the people in this country really all about strength?

Cook suppressed his laughter and responded to everyone.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any fighting talent. I've never beat Shaxi in arm wrestling, let alone my brother and father. Let alone magic. Our family can't even afford food. How can I have the money to send me there?" Learn magic. I can only read and write a little."

Cook's words calmed down the people who were still in high spirits just now.

"Reading and writing. What's the use of that?"

"Isn't that what nobles let their children learn in order to show off?"

"Although it is said that reading and writing are necessary for upper-level jobs. Prime Ministers and financial officials need to master the skills. But those jobs are hereditary from the upper-level nobles. So it is useless for others to learn to write."

"The three men of the lower nobles can't squeeze in at all. It's useless to learn."

"In other words, it's a waste of money and energy. If you have that time, it's better to swing the wooden sword more."

"You can only read and write... You won't be able to find a job here."

Everyone immediately sang against Cook overwhelmingly.

The atmosphere in the room also became sharp.

Everyone's reaction was not unexpected, but Cook said that he was not uncomfortable at all, which was a lie.

Even Cook, who has always been good-natured, was a little angry.

Why should you look down on yourself just because you are a child?

Especially being ridiculed in front of Shaxi.Cook is rarely a little on fire.

Some people began to laugh at Cook, some directly predicted that Cook would fail, and some bet that Cook could live in Dahal for a few days.

"I said a week."
