Chapter 267 Royal City
The capital city of Sneklo is a very hot city, from its towering and imposing city walls to the knights responsible for checking passersby and the residents within it.
Shops selling rare treasures and all kinds of enchanting shops can be seen everywhere. There is also the only dwarf workshop located in the city of Snakelo.
This is the heart of the nation's entire center; prosperity and wealth are synonymous with this city.
With Bhutto's guarantee, Cheng Jiu successfully passed the inspection and entered the city.
Upon entering the city, Cheng Jiu's first impression was that it was a perfect place to sell cold drinks and that he could make a lot of money.
Then, it all boils down to two words: prosperity!
Cheng Jiu could even see various flying devices in the sky, which were quite different from the various cities he had encountered before.
Upon entering the capital, the first thing Buto did not lead her team to sell the goods they were carrying, but instead took Cheng Jiu to register his identity.
Having used his money-counting skills, the manager in charge of registration did not carefully examine Cheng Jiu's background and experiences.
Cheng Jiu successfully transformed from a country girl from a remote small country into a full citizen of the Kingdom of Sneklo!
Having an official identity means that as long as you keep that identity hidden when facing questioning, you won't have any problems!
"Thank you, boss!" Cheng Jiu said to Buto with great gratitude, holding his citizenship certificate from the Kingdom of Snakelo.
His willingness to act as a guarantor for Cheng Jiu and help him register his household registration was truly an act of utmost kindness and generosity.
It's important to understand that if her true identity is discovered, Bhutto will inevitably be implicated.
"I thought you were already a member of our team!" Buto said, looking at Cheng Jiu's barely concealed excitement.
"I will always be the boss's unofficial team member!" Cheng Jiu declared confidently.
"Alright, the matter is settled, let's go to my manor to rest!"
"Yay, boss!" The other team members cheered!
It's not that they don't want to sell the goods as soon as possible, but these team members would be very happy to have a day off!
"Boss, let's go to Mude Restaurant for a meal first. I've been wanting to go there for a long time." Yan Ji blinked and pressed her advantage, urging Buto to eat.
"You're treating?" Buto teased Yan Ji, who was egging her on.
Yan Ji shook her head and decisively said, "Forget it, I think the manor is great. I haven't tasted Uncle Wells' cooking in ages!"
Cheng Jiu silently retreated, giving up the battlefield and letting the two clash before returning to the royal city. Uncle Butuo had become much more lively and even started joking around.
"Alright, let's go to the Mude Grand Restaurant, it's on me!" Bhutto waved his hand and said.
"Boss, that's impressive!"
Seeing the cheering team members, Bhutto felt that the meal was well worth it.
Mudd's Restaurant may not be the biggest restaurant in town, but it is definitely the most popular.
From nobles to commoners, everyone is welcome here.
As the most popular restaurant, this place specializes in meat, all kinds of meat. Even if you want to eat ninth-grade savage beast meat, as long as you can afford it and make a reservation, they can provide it here.
It is also one of the few restaurants in the city that can provide meat from ninth-grade savage beasts.
Of course, compared to the upscale restaurants in the city, the prices here are quite reasonable, with generous portions.
However, the prices at restaurants that cater specifically to mercenary caravans and nobles are not much lower.
But at least, three Kasikorn coins are enough to feed the team members well.
To cultivate brute strength, one cannot do without consuming high-energy foods.
Cheng Jiu's fasting was also disrupted during his time with the caravan members.
Bhutto's territory was indeed not far from the capital, and it was incomparable to the manors we had encountered along the way.
It's more like a village than a manor, but the main house is still a castle of moderate size.
The territory was planted with golden wheat, but this wheat was far from enough to supply the operation of the territory; it was merely the most basic food and could not be sold for a high price.
No wonder Yan Ji said that having territory close to the royal city was not a good thing!
Cheng Jiu thought about the expenses during his short stay in the capital. How could anyone live on that? No wonder Buto and his son Bru organized a mercenary caravan.
Even if some nobles consider this behavior despicable, they still have money!
As soon as the mercenary caravan arrived, the farmers in the territory warmly greeted them.
"The Viscount is back! Good day, Master Blue!"
"Good day, Mr. Dyson!" Blue greeted the farmer as well.
"I wonder if the Viscount and the young master's business trip went smoothly this time!"
“It went very smoothly! Thank you for your concern!” Blue replied.
Although the territory was very simple, the castle's decoration revealed the family's wealth and status.
It has a very aristocratic air about it.
There are about twenty servants in total who take care of this castle: ten are in charge of hygiene, two are in charge of hospitality, two are in charge of management, four are in charge of security, and then there are four kitchen staff.
It looks very orderly; even after the owner has been away for so many days, it is still in perfect order when they return home.
Upon seeing Cheng Jiu, the person in charge was not surprised. Instead, they immediately arranged for a new room to be prepared for Cheng Jiu without any instructions from the owner. This was quite considerate.
Blue showed Cheng Jiu the layout of his castle. Despite the lack of guards, the castle was actually very safe, especially since it was located near the royal city.
Knights belonging to the Queen often patrol around the royal city. Even those with bad intentions dare not act recklessly in front of these knights.
After a simple night's rest, Yan Ji was right; Uncle Wells's cooking skills were indeed excellent!
Cheng Jiu also ate to his heart's content.
The next day, Bhutto and her team sold the goods, and the business seemed to be doing very well. They returned each day with smiles on their faces.
Cheng Jiu did not follow them or go out. Instead, she stayed in the castle to cultivate, waiting for them to have some free time to introduce her to Guang Jun.
