Life in a different world begins with hidden strength

Chapter 207 Containment
An international metropolis with a permanent population of 3.7 million. The sewer system of King Oran City is intricate and can be compared to an underground maze.

The rumors were more than just darkness and stench. Even more dangerous are the scavenger-like residents who live there.

Gangs of beggars, wanted thieves, and even some humans and subhuman races with dark blood. Tens of thousands of people are said to depend on the sewer system for survival.

In the eyes of the citizens of the royal capital, the sewer area is a place that cannot be mentioned, almost equivalent to hell. Many homeless people would rather freeze to death on the streets than enter them.

No matter what, the environment of Baihua Nunnery is much better than the sewer.

News of the shelter spread, and countless homeless people came after hearing the news. There is no such thing as humility in life. The strong and strong men were inserted into the ranks without ceremony, driving away the weak.

Some beggar gangs even threatened to ask for quota quotas.

Although the people in the nunnery repeatedly emphasized that only children were admitted, they turned a blind eye.

The knights of the Langton family present would not condone it. Several of the rioters were beaten to death on the spot, and even if the remaining adults were unwilling to do so, they could only turn into birds and scatter.

In the eyes of ordinary people, knights mean absolute violence and order!

The environment was too simple, but she felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. Elaine carefully passed through the aisle with the quilt in her arms and found a seat near the corner. There seemed to be some air leakage, but it was settled cleanly.

The convent provides two meals a day. The recipes basically swap back and forth between brown bread, boiled potatoes, and baked sweet potatoes. Occasionally there are also cuckoo eggs.

Elaine also had many deep and shallow marks on her body, and she felt extremely uneasy. Fortunately, the nun who examined the patient determined that it was a variety of external injuries rather than a skin disease, and agreed to be taken into custody.

Elaine successfully passed the preliminary review.

Compared with the desolate life in the past, it is like paradise now.

Elaine was extremely happy with her decision.

The probability of elimination was more than half, and for a while the streets were full of crying sounds.

The temperature plummeted overnight. There was a heavy snowstorm in the sky, and the ground was covered with a layer of white.

Also, although large-scale cliques are prohibited. But a few two or three people maintain a certain relationship, within the scope of acquiescence.

2. Single applicants are given priority.

The management of the nunnery is relatively strict and does not allow free entry and exit. Only some people are allowed to go out at a time, and they are required to carry a special wooden sign and explain the reason to the doorman.

She received a brand new bedding and a set of warm clothes. Walking into the familiar but unfamiliar door, the long and narrow aisle was full of people sleeping on both sides. The cold concrete floor was only covered with a layer of hay.

Many people freeze to death every winter.

1. Age limit: Under twelve years old.

Several times people from outside tried to sneak in, but they were severely stopped.

The notice board in front of the Baihua Nunnery states the rules of containment.

It is really difficult for the low-level homeless people to be completely healthy.

Elaine lowered his head deeply, knowing that he had too much time to take care of himself and it was difficult for him to feel compassion.

On the third day of our stay, a cold snap suddenly came.

In fact, it's not too strict. It doesn't matter if you are one or two years older occasionally, as long as you look thin enough.

The second step is to check the physical condition and not allow for diseases that may spread on a large scale. Children line up to take a bath. Then, give the nuns a check.

It would be better if it could be warmer...

The cold wind leaking in from the corner of the wall continued to take away body heat.

Elaine sometimes has random thoughts, and the nunnery accommodates their possible plots.

However, apart from the constraints of order, managers have not put forward any requirements. It's like charity from a well-intentioned person. Time passes day by day, the long and boring winter. There is an inevitable need to kill time. Someone brought wizard cards and chess games from the outside world.

The price is not expensive, about twenty or thirty copper pennies.

Elaine has about one silver in savings, so she can afford it if she wants to buy it. Of course she would not spend her life-saving money on entertainment. The biggest relaxation every day is taking turns listening to the radio for two hours.

Before you know it, winter is coming to an end. After a heavy rain, the weather gradually warmed up...

The administrators of the convent decided to guarantee a pass for every child who did not have one.

The fee is one silver dollar, which can be borrowed on credit.

The opportunity she had dreamed of was presented to her, and Elaine chose to apply for it without hesitation.

Once you have a formal identity, you will be able to find a job more easily and enjoy legal protection. Many times, her boss refused to pay her wages because she had no identity.

The price of one silver dollar was not a low figure for a wanderer. However, Elaine did not choose to borrow money. I would rather give up most of my wealth. We are well aware of the dangers of loan sharking, and have encountered too many people who are homeless or even selling themselves because they are unable to repay high-interest loans.

After a whole winter, she finally took a bath.

Cinderella regains her beauty. Slender arms, fair skin with visible blood vessels. Like a lotus growing in the mud, it has a melancholy and noble temperament. Extraordinarily arouse people's protective desire or destructive impulse.

The elderly nun in charge of haircuts kept praising Elaine's appearance.

"What a beautiful child. Asaka-sama will definitely be happy to hire you..."

Elaine did not feel happy, and lowered her head in fear, like a cowardly quail, with the thought of running away in her heart.

If not for the importance of the pass.

The Convent of Flowers established a certain credibility, if not throughout the winter.

The black-haired girl secretly clenched her fists on her knees.

Dawn Church organized people in batches to go to the city hall. At this point, the name has been changed.

Elaine followed the crowd low-key, and her outstanding appearance attracted many attentions. Like a white swan among a flock of ducks. She couldn't hide herself at all, pretending to be calm and accepting the scrutiny of others.

A group of more than 200 people came to the city hall and were greeted by the receptionist.

The process of applying for a pass is not very cumbersome. After taking a photo, use blood to sign a contract.

I originally thought it would take a long time to get the pass. At least three to five days, or a week.

That afternoon, cards were handed out to everyone.

Name: Elaine

Gender: Female
Date of Birth: March 4047, 6

Regular residence/registration: Oran Capital, Dawn Church in the north of the city

No.: 001359
A translucent card made of slime material. Only when the person involved picks it up will the inscription of the oath of contract light up. If lost, you can use your user registration and number to reissue it.

The basic condition for applying for a pass is that someone with a fixed property in the capital must provide a guarantee.

Unless they are members of their own family, it is difficult for ordinary residents to bear possible legal responsibilities for outsiders.

Besides, the places are absolutely limited. Each household only has one or two at most during a fixed period of time.

Only nobles and honorary citizens who paid enough taxes would have more.
