On a bright April morning, an eight-wheeled carriage pulling two train carriages entered Rainbow Oriole City.
The people in the carriage in front of me were playing a folk rhapsody on an instrument. It was a piece that the locals had long since grown tired of. Although they played it well, they were always interrupted halfway through by the people in the carriage behind them. It seemed that they were not satisfied with the piece they had just played, or that someone was asking them to play it again.
A well-dressed man suddenly asked the car to stop, and the music was interrupted again.
He was very tall, with short hair, bright and lively eyes, and a neatly trimmed light beard on his prominent chin. A long gold chain was fastened to the buttonhole of his tuxedo, and his gray trousers were embroidered with elegant patterns in gold thread. He gracefully twirled a gleaming gold cane, its carved gold handle perfectly suited to his attire.
After getting off the train, he seemed surprised by what he saw, because he had been sitting inside the carriage and hadn't had time to look outside.
"The biggest and most beautiful city in the Hobrick region! It would be a real shame to waste time traveling there!"
The man opened the car door, and two women got out.
She was petite and lovely, wearing semi-transparent white gloves. She had lively and charming shoulders and neck, and her waist creaked as she breathed. However, she was currently wearing a black veil, so others could not see what she looked like.
The other woman was a rosy-cheeked woman, much more voluptuous than the one next to her. Her haughty face shone with a cold, intelligent light. She boldly exposed the parts of her body that could be shown through her long skirt and tight-fitting clothes, as if she had stepped out of a dream and into reality. She was so incredibly feminine.
Even the tow truck driver was reluctant to leave. The passengers must have thought the man was very rich, and that he must have his pockets full of money! Otherwise, how would he seduce women?
The man gracefully bent down and extended a hand to support the voluptuous woman's hand.
As the instruments played, the daring passengers still leaned out of the windows; the carriage had already gone far away, but the passengers' eyes were unwilling to leave.
Billis led Lisa by the hand, keeping Aisha at a slight distance while keeping her close by.
“They should know to change the music, not the instruments, and the country musician with the shaved beard should switch places with the musician with the shaved head,” Lisa said.
Billis doesn't understand music; he's content as long as the musician can make the violin creak and groan.
He knew better than music how to please women.
"Oh! What an incredibly boring journey! Only you guys can surprise me and amaze the whole city."
"We just came out to take a family photo, why are we dressed like this?"
"A beautiful woman can make the whole city fly!"
"Darling, you have such a sweet tongue."
Lisa gave him a gentle kiss, and Billy leaned in like a child. Everything around them—the houses, trees, carriages, and streets—spun around as if on a pivot.
Just then, a guy who was over three meters tall and had a square face crashed into them.
If Lisa hadn't stopped him, Billy's new clothes would probably have become one with the mud.
“Hey, have you been drinking?” Billis pointed his most prominent golden cane at the big guy’s neck. “You better watch where you’re going.”
Suddenly, a small creature covered in thick hair appeared behind the big guy. The little guy puffed out his cheeks and apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry, my child accidentally bumped into you. He just learned to walk yesterday."
"Your child?"
"It's a newborn child I just adopted."
Billis looked at the little giant who was over three meters tall again; his face was indeed very childish!
"Oh, I'm the one who should apologize. I got too excited just now."
The little guy made the big guys apologize. The big guys stared at the kind face, looking left and right, and suddenly lifted him up and licked him until he was covered in saliva.
This is how the giants show friendliness.
Lisa and Elsa hid to the side and laughed secretly.
Billis's image was severely damaged, but he still pulled a tool resembling a bull's horn knife from the end of his staff and gave it to the little giant as a gift.
The street signs in Rainbow City generally point in four directions, and the registration office is located on the main road of Hat District.
The houses here are the talk of the town among Hobrick residents. They are surrounded by many wealthy vineyards and have a long history, nestled against the mountains and by the water.
The buildings near the main road all have colonnades, with the main entrance on the long side and side chambers on the short side. They use strip arches as roofs, and their building materials are colorful marbles. The walls are painted with murals and mosaic patterns, and the floors are made of colored stones in geometric patterns. They are all public buildings, suitable for public gatherings and ceremonial activities.
The mansions were scattered around the four main squares in the east, west, south, and north. According to local custom, the more open the view of a house a person built, the more powerful they were. Doors and windows represented property, the number of servants could not exceed the number of doorposts, and the area of lawns and flower beds represented the building's history. Some wealthy merchants even liked to carve their unique family crests on the high eaves for people to admire.
Since the reincarnated person brought Earth's culture to another world, even the cities have become more like the Renaissance.
In Hobrick's largest city, there was a plot of land reserved for nobles whose mansions were veritable fortresses of art, not only "beautiful as flowers" but also "refined inside and out."
The largest mansion is said to be built on a hill overlooking the majestic land, nestled between the rose grove and Lake Bayin. Inside the mansion is a 50-meter-long art gallery, which houses ancient paintings from another world. The patterns related to the species and era were all re-carved by the most professional craftsmen.
As Billy admired the murals along the street, he said to his wife, "Darling, how about we buy a few paintings to take home? To add some beauty to our love nest?"
"I think the saliva paintings on your body are more like art."
Oh! It's not dry yet?
Amidst playful laughter and teasing, the secret agents and their family finally arrived at the registration office located in the Hat District.
The registration office is also a large garden. To the left is a museum for people to enjoy, and to the right is a wide and clean walkway. Five slightly chubby little witches wearing short tops and witch hats are greeting people who need to do their business.
In the center of the hall stood a clumsy mech that announced numbers. The Billies had drawn number twenty-two, which was a very early number.
"Number 13! Is Number 13 there?"
"I've been waiting since this morning, and it's still not my turn?"
I want to file a complaint!
"Number fourteen! Number fourteen!"
"You piece of junk! Did you forget to call number twelve just now?"
The scene was chaotic. Some people couldn't fit on one stool, so they brought three stools to sit on together. Others had to stand because there were no seats available. Two and a half people were maintaining order, but no one in the crowd was willing to give way because there were too many forms to fill out, the waiting time was too long, and there were too few staff members.
The arguments continued, with the taller ones either smashing things or stepping on other people's feet, and the one who could fly sitting on the windowsill, blocking the light and slowing down people's form-filling process.
It's unclear who knocked off the battery of the calling mech, but by the time the staff found out the cause, four people with later numbers had already cut in line to the front.
Billy suspects that one of the four guys did it.
How can we improve the efficiency of staff while ensuring that the public maintains civilized order?
Lisa came up with a solution. She discussed it with the backstage staff and decided to move the witch who greeted guests at the entrance to the service counter, and the strong centaur to the entrance.
When the crowd saw that these carefree young women were serving him, they actually voluntarily exchanged their numbers for later ones.
Who wouldn't want to take a second look?
This skipped many numbers, and soon it was the Billies' turn.
The agent family, dressed neatly, were taken to the verification hall in the annex after filling out the commitment form. It turned out that there was a hidden procedure here, which required verifying whether the non-reincarnated person had learned Earth's language, civilized norms and body language, as well as their proficiency with electronic products.
Only those who pass two or more tests can have their names signed and stamped.
After escorting Aisha into the verification hall, the Billies waited anxiously at the door.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side room.
"It failed again? This is the third time!"
A creature that looked like a rat scurried out, carrying a large package on its back, and weaved through the queue like a thief.
"Wait! Where are you going to steal my luggage? I've been feeding and feeding you, and I was even thinking of taking you on as my apprentice!"
The rat-like creature threw the package in the courtyard, scurried into the sewer, and disappeared.
Books were scattered all over the floor; they were all related to history, geography, and cultural relics.
Billis offered to help pick up the books, and at the same time, the voice came from behind again.
"Put the book 'Griselda and the Sufferers' trilogy on top, I'll need it later. Put 'Paul of Germany' at the bottom, who wants to read a newly printed book of entertainment literature catering to the petty bourgeoisie?"
"Tom Scholar?" Billis quickly packed his bag.
Upon seeing the attentive agent, Tom was extremely excited, and his damaged leg seemed to break down again, twitching outwards three times.
"Good heavens! I just lost a disciple, and now I run into you here! Could you get me a cup of coffee?"
