549. Rome is not built in one day, nor in twenty years.

When Xing Ke stepped out of the rainbow door with one foot, the first thing he felt was the touch of marble on the ground... This is nonsense.

Then what came into view was a vast, bright and gorgeous hall. No, it was not that gorgeous, right? On the contrary, it was much simpler than the original Gothic and Baroque buildings, and incorporated some pragmatic styles.

The hemispherical ceiling is not a mural with unique cultural significance, but a starry sky projection with familiar stars...

All in all, this is a room that is not that big, but is gorgeous but not cumbersome, and looks very spacious because of the high lighting rate and not many people... a high-end adventurers guild?

Sorry, I couldn't help but complain in the end. At least it's better than the two analogies of the old British banks and churches, right?

Mashiro, who was looking around, pushed Kazuyo's stroller, and Hoshikusa stood completely still in the hall, then looked around.

"I see, it's a cylindrical building. A circle around the central pillar is the portal. The four directions directly are the gates, and the four directions diagonally are the service desks? That's right... Mashiro, what are you looking at?"

"There."

Hoshikaku looked in the direction Mashiro pointed. There was a decorative indoor sculpture with a fountain next to it.

Xing Ke just took a general glance at it without taking a closer look. And he usually doesn't care who the decorative sculptures in the public hall are. They are usually either dead people or gods somewhere, right?

But, this time is different——

【Gesforgo Kletese Jean Fran Untiny Salamanda Lin Cavendish】

[Head of the Original Ten, a transcendent magician, and one of the founders of the Rainbow Bridge]

[Died at the age of sixteen]

………

"...It doesn't matter. It's a small thing. I'm used to it. I've seen my own grave countless times."

Yes, walking under the sculpture that was one and a half times the size of the original, Xing Ke judged based on the details of the statue and his full name in his previous life on the nameplate under the statue that this was a sculpture to commemorate him.

With a cloak and a long staff, a typical magician's attire, no wonder Xingke himself saw something wrong, if it wasn't for his really good eyesight...

"Well, my carving skills are very good."

"So that's what you're paying attention to!"

Ahem, let’s ignore this for now. The main thing is who is making such a joke? Do you have any grudge against me?

However, generally sculptures like this will not restore the appearance of the original statue too much. It can be regarded as a form of artistic expression. Since you can't see the appearance clearly, it won't be too embarrassing, and you still feel a little bit admired by others.

Darkly refreshing.

So, I'm sure...

"Sorry to bother you, gentlemen and madam."

Just when Hoshike and Mashiro were attracted by the sculpture, a cool magnetic male voice came from behind them:

"I would like to ask, is this your first time here?"

He has long dark hair tied back, black slim-fitting clothes, and a long sword at his waist. He is a young and handsome man... Xingji turned around and identified him at a glance. He did not recognize this person.

"Well...we are not two people, we are three people."

Xingke pointed to a leaf in the stroller and smiled.

"Well, this is really presumptuous. I didn't notice that there is a lovely young lady here." With a dumb smile, the man bowed slightly and apologized. He really didn't expect Xingke to answer like this, so he could only treat it as a different place.

, different customs.

"So what? Since this is the first time for the three of you to come here, and today I have taken over the [daily security maintenance tasks] around the Rainbow Bridge, do you need an introduction from my tour guide?"

The man was not polite, he took out his badge directly, showed an approved [Task Interface], and got to the point.

"Well, we need it, we need it very much. In fact, we are worried that our guide is a laissez-faire and introduces too few things!"

Xingke stepped forward with a smile, took out his badge, conducted [two-way verification], and got a positive answer, and then said with some surprise:

"As you can see, we are poor people who came here with our families. We came to such a strange place, and we are worried about not seeing a suitable tour guide."

Two-way verification is a system set up to prevent someone from falsifying the contract. As long as the badges of both parties have not been tampered with, the contract will have Hongjie Ark as the middleman to authenticate and guarantee it.

The man just showed his mission interface because he wanted Xingke to verify its authenticity.

"Then if sir can accept the prerequisite of adding [allowing the employee to comply with the security mission first in emergencies] in the contract, then please release the mission.

This is also a prerequisite for the security mission contract to allow the mission person to complete other tasks during the mission."

"Huh? It turns out that little brother, you didn't come here to talk to me because you wanted to take on a private mission?" Xingke tilted his head, a little strange.

"No, sir, you are overthinking it. There is no such thing."

It seemed that this was not the first time that Xing Ke asked such a question, and the man was not moved at all.

"Then, as for the reward..."

"As for this, since you are new here, you may not know much about prices, so this is a kind of welfare for newcomers in this place. Sir, you can freely set the remuneration, and I, the employee, will judge whether it is appropriate. And for this mission

The fees for entrusted certification procedures can also be borne by me.

In other words, as long as it’s not too outrageous, even if it’s something with uncertain value and the price is not right in the end, it doesn’t matter.”

To be honest, if this handsome guy is smiling at this time, it will definitely make people feel good, right?

But unfortunately, except for being made laugh by [not two but three] just now, this handsome guy has never laughed.

But these are all small things...

"Well, okay, then I would like to thank this enthusiastic little brother and thank you for this magical place."

Xing Ke quickly drew up a contract, took out two magic gems as reward, and showed the contract to the guard brother——

【Tour Guide Task】

[Principal: Someone (non-certified real name)]

[Request content: We need a tour guide who can answer questions (silence is allowed) and guide the route (silence is allowed) within the Garden of Death.

The first condition is that you cannot lie; the second condition is that you cannot accept other similar tasks between the time you accept the task and the end of the task (the ongoing task is no longer within the scope).

Note: The employee is allowed to give priority to complying with security tasks in an emergency. While this note is in effect, the employment contract will enter the suspended contract state by default.]

[Task time: The timing starts after the task starts, and the task progresses for two standard times]

[Reward: Two pieces of rubies with a certain amount of magic power that can be used as a power source (pay one piece first as a deposit, and pay the balance after the task is completed)]

[Attachment: The certification procedure fee for this task entrustment shall be borne by the entrusted party. 】

………

"It seems that Mr. So-and-so, you should come from a world with a fairly complete civilization system, and you are also quite familiar with the spirit of contract advocated in the Garden of Death... Let us cooperate happily."

After looking at the star-carved contract, a flash of understanding flashed in the guard boy's eyes, and he nodded. Then he took out his badge and accepted the mission.

[Task status: in progress]
