Underground Poisson, at the entrance of the Spina di Rosula stronghold.
Ron's brows were tightly furrowed, his left hand gripping his right arm, and he walked with a limp.
It hurt too much!
Just now, when he was climbing down the iron ladder, he accidentally slipped and fell directly from it.
It wasn't high, only three or four meters.
But for Ron, who had not yet obtained a Vision, this was already a very high fall, and his small body simply couldn't take it.
Silver said earnestly, "Mr. Ron, do you need treatment first?"
Ron shook his head, "Let's talk about the commission first... The content of my commission is..."
Before Ron could finish speaking.
Suddenly.
The gate of the Spina di Rosula stronghold opened.
A clear and pleasant Damselette's voice came from beside Ron, "You must be this time's client, just as Silver said, dressed in tacky..."
"Ahem, dressed in strange foreign attire, a foreigner."
The Damselette's features were exquisite, and her skin had a healthy glow.
Above her long, golden curly hair, she wore a large black top hat, and above her prominently rising chest, there was a sparkling sapphire necklace.
Her luxurious attire and elegant demeanor showcased her extraordinary status.
With just one glance.
Ron recognized the person in front of him, none other than the Navia he was so familiar with, the second-generation leader of the Spina di Rosula.
[What a coincidence, I just arrived and already met such an important person!]
[He truly is the leader, boss, Demoiselle of the Spina di Rosula. This outfit, this temperament, is far superior to that girl Mona!]
He was slightly different from the Navia in the game.
In reality, Navia's first impression was even more stunning, with her exquisite pretty face, smooth skin, and beautiful attire.
Even if one didn't know him, one could tell his extraordinary nature at a glance.
Most importantly.
Despite being a noble Demoiselle, he not only lacked any sense of aloofness but instead made people feel somewhat approachable.
If it weren't for his engagement.
Perhaps the moment Ron first saw Navia, he would have fallen for this energetic Damselette.
Navia also looked at Ron, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Huh?????"
What was that sound??
Just as the two of them looked at each other, no one had spoken, yet he heard a strange, blurry sound.
Although he didn't hear it clearly.
But Navia was very sure that the strange sound belonged neither to Melus nor to Silver.
Could it be—
Was he hallucinating from working too hard??
Melus reminded him, "Demoiselle, the client is waiting!"
Navia realized his impropriety and smiled to defuse the awkwardness, "Oh right, you're a foreigner, you probably don't know us on our first meeting, so let's introduce ourselves first."
"This is Melus, and this is Silver."
"And I am the current leader of the famous Spina di Rosula, Navia!"
Silver: "Attendant, Silver!"
Melus: "I am Melus, the butler of the Spina di Rosula!"
No need for introductions.
Ron, of course, knew the members of the Spina di Rosula in front of him.
"My name is Ron, and I am this time's client."
[The famous baking trio, how could I not know them?]
[One Melus, one Silver, both are the most loyal supporters of the Spina di Rosula, Navia's right-hand men, who have diligently assisted Navia all these years and made great contributions!]
[Alas, it's a pity, these two are about to die!]
[Cherish the time they are still here!]
Hmm???
Navia raised an eyebrow, momentarily stunned.
He heard it again.
A strange sound.
And this time, the sound he heard was very clear, the content of every sentence accurately reaching his ears.
Saying he knew Melus and Silver... and also saying Melus and Silver were about to die, and to cherish the time they were still here... Who exactly was secretly talking nonsense?
Navia's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked around with a hint of anger.
Besides Melus, Silver, and the client Ron, there was no one else around him.
Combined with the tone of the voice and the content of the sound.
It wasn't hard to guess that the strange sound he heard likely came from the foreigner Ron in front of him.
Thinking of this.
Navia was a little annoyed.
He came to commission the Spina di Rosula for help, yet he was speaking ill of the Spina di Rosula and cursing Melus and Silver to die.
He had never encountered such a client before.
However—
What puzzled Navia was that Melus and Silver were closer to Ron, yet they showed no reaction to the strange sound.
Could it be!
Only Navia could hear this sound?
Navia's gaze became solemn, "Speak, what is the specific content of your commission? Resolving disputes, providing protection, or solving problems?"
"I'll tell you in advance, don't even think about making the Spina di Rosula do anything illegal!"
Because Ron cursed Melus and Silver to die, Navia's first impression of Ron was not good.
He even regarded Ron as someone who didn't understand rules, liked to talk nonsense and curse others to die, and had an impure heart.
If it was an excessive commission, Navia would rather give up this business.
Seeing Navia's solemn expression.
Melus and Silver, who were beside him, didn't understand what had happened.
Ron was also completely bewildered.
What's going on??
If he remembered correctly, wasn't Navia's personality very good?
Cheerful, optimistic, and warm to people.
He even made macaron for the Traveler on their first meeting.
Why, when it came to Ron, was there no warm reception, but instead an impatient expression?
[Grass, a Sumeru element!]
[Logically speaking, shouldn't the Spina di Rosula's economic situation be very bad right now? Shouldn't Navia be treating clients well? Why is he showing an impatient expression?]
[What kind of look is that? Why does he look at me like I'm a bad guy? Do I look like a bad guy?]
[Something's not right! The character setting is a bit strange!]
[Could it be a pirated allogene?]
Navia: "..."
He was right after all.
The source of the strange sound was the foreigner Ron in front of him.
And—
Despite it being their first meeting, he seemed very familiar with the Spina di Rosula, truly a strange person.
Before Navia could say anything.
Ron had already stated the commission for this time: "The content I want to commission is to help me find the owner of the other half of the gem."
The words had just fallen!
Ron had already taken out the half-gem that proved the engagement and handed it to Navia.
"How about it, can you take on such a commission?"
Although the current Spina di Rosula was not as good as before.
But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse; relying on the Spina di Rosula's intelligence network, finding a person should not be difficult.
Navia raised an eyebrow, "A gem?"
The moment he saw the gem, he immediately froze in place.
A hint of panic and surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was very surprised by the sudden appearance of the half-gem.
