Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

The emperor refused to give in and held Suika who was sitting up.

"You really don't have any ideas at all?"

"Absolutely not…"

"That's a shame..." The emperor saw that Suika was determined and lay down on the chair

"You know, singing on stage is a lucrative endeavor, and Xiosta's sponsor is very generous..."

Listening to the emperor tempting herself intentionally or unintentionally, Cuixiang reached out and patted his forehead very rudely, then proudly took out the bank card given by Shi Huaiya.

"Don't try to seduce me. I'm not the same person I used to be!"

The emperor had good eyesight and recognized at a glance that the bank card in Suika's hand was a high-end VIP card issued by the Victoria Banking Association. He couldn't help but kick his legs in frustration.

"Oh, damn. Forgot you got this good thing from that little kitty at the police station."

Suixiang didn't take it seriously. As for language talent, she thought she had some.

But musical talent, if I can’t say it’s negative, is almost completely replaced by language talent.

It can't be said that it is tone-deaf, it can only be said that it is at the level of a normal person's singing.

The key is that she basically doesn't know any of Terra's songs, and she doesn't have the ability to compose music to sing songs from her previous life.

So I decided not to go on stage and make a fool of myself.

"Let's get together tonight?" the emperor continued to ask.

"Tonight? Not tonight... I received an invitation to a party." She should have agreed to the invitation, but she guessed that the inviter was Mayor Hermann. She felt it would be bad to let down the top leader while she was just visiting here. Besides, she also wanted to meet this mayor who was very suspicious but even more capable.

"Well, is it not possible? Can you bring people to this party? How about taking me with you?" The emperor said that it was rare for him to meet an acquaintance and he wanted to chat more.

"It seems possible. Let's go together tonight!" Suixiang took out the invitation and looked at it. It said that you can bring no more than two companions. It just so happened that there were only two people, the Emperor and Is.

Inside the mayor's office on the other side.

Hermann felt relieved after listening to Kroening's story.

Kronin was very sure that the other party was a very professional and knowledgeable messenger of natural disasters, so she would not be a spy.

After all, such a young Scourge Messenger is a treasure no matter where he is. It would be too late to train him well, so how could we bear to use him as a spy?

Soon, the news that Suixiang met the emperor at the performance square reached his ears, further dispelling his concerns.

"Kronin, do you think we have a chance to keep that Miss Scourge Messenger in Xiosta?"

Since he was sure that the other party was not here to cause trouble, Hermann naturally set his sights on her.

Although I don't know why this little girl named Ibuki Suika came to Xiosta, it is impossible to be completely indifferent when seeing such a young messenger of disaster in front of me.

In the afternoon, the emperor went on stage again and sang for more than half an hour before walking off the stage amid cheers.

He and Suika were walking around the streets of Xiosta in a very arrogant manner, wearing sunglasses.

"You said you joined an organization called Rhodes Island?" The emperor was a little confused after listening to Suika's story. Since she joined the organization, why was she still wandering around outside so casually?

"That's right, but Rhodes Island's main business is a pharmaceutical company that develops inhibitors for mineralogy.

When I joined they didn't ask me to stay in the company, it was just a name.

When you're away from home, you can use the company's resources in various locations, but if a company operator asks for help, I'll lend a hand if I can."

Suika talks about her identity in Rhodes Island.

"So that's how it is. These kinds of medical companies usually have offices in various places, so if you run into problems you can indeed seek help from local people.

It's a good idea to rely on friends when you're out and about.

But who is the leader of this medical company? I want to see if I know him..."

The emperor took the juice-mixed drink handed to him by Suixiang, drank it with satisfaction, and then patted his chest and said.

"The leader of Rhodes Island... To be precise, Rhodes Island has only been established for about a year..."

Suika calculated the time. Theresa died in the summer of last year, and it would take some time to move from the Tower of Babel to Rhodes Island. Considering that it was the end of summer now, a year should be about the same.

"Such a young pharmaceutical company... are you sure there's no problem?" When the emperor heard that the company had only been established for a year, he instantly felt that it was a little unreliable.

“Although the company was only established a year ago, its predecessor was very famous. However, the previous big boss passed away, and many people outside were watching it, so they had no choice but to change the name and start over.

But the family assets are still there, so I think it won’t be a problem to start a new life.”

The emperor nodded after Suika finished speaking, but he felt that Suika was a little too vague...it always felt like she was hiding something.

"Oh! The boss of a company that died last year... I don't remember that. Is, can you think of any large pharmaceutical companies that suddenly went bankrupt last year?"

The emperor looked at Yis who was following behind him. Yis shook his head, indicating that he had no impression either.

"Okay, I won't tell you riddles anymore.

Rhodes Island's previous life was called the Tower of Babel, and the boss was naturally Theresa..."

Before Suika could finish her words, the emperor spit out a mouthful of soda.

"what?"

"What's there to be excited about... I went to Kazdel when I set out last year.

I originally wanted to meet the Sarkaz Demon King who has always been pursuing a soft policy.

However, before I found her, I heard the news of her death. I felt quite disappointed at the time, and I didn't know what the character of the next demon king would be.

So I didn't continue wandering around Kazdel and turned back to Ursus...

It's fate that we meet after thousands of years.

I thought it had nothing to do with the Tower of Babel.

As a result, when Victoria was helping to send a group of children to a company in Rhodes Island for treatment, I found that there were many Sarkaz there.

We drank and chatted together, and learned from them that they were the survivors of the Tower of Babel.

After Theresa's death, the Tower of Babel was reorganized into Rhodes Island, and the Demon King's crown is still on Rhodes Island... However, the crown bearer is not chosen by the crown holder himself as before, but by a successor personally chosen by Theresa.

After hearing what Cuixiang said, the emperor felt that the world was changing too fast and too strangely.

If he hadn't heard this news from Suika, he couldn't have imagined that the losing side in the power war could have a chance to "escape unscathed" with only the loss of their leader. The key point was that both sides were the most warlike Sarkaz.

Chapter 207: Interactions at the Banquet

"So you are now joining the defeated exiled government?" The emperor said after thinking for a while.

"Your words are too harsh... What do you mean by a defeated government in exile...

No one in Rhodes Island was even thinking about Kazdel's leadership.

Although there are quite a few Sarkaz in Rhodes Island, most of them are poor people who don't agree with Tracy's radical views, but can't return to Kazdel...

Based on their previous actions, if Kazdel returned to the present, he would either be treated as a consumable or have his head chopped off one day.

However, without the pressure of fighting for power, I am actually quite satisfied with the current Rhodes Island.

There are experts who can run around everywhere, and they can call for help from time to time in various places.

And I think I get paid... who wouldn't want to do this kind of work where they only get paid and do nothing?!"

After Cuixiang finished speaking, the emperor seemed to be moved.

"Ahem, what do you think about me going to Rhodes Island and getting a salary?"

"Are you short of money?" Suixiang rolled her eyes at the emperor.

“No shortage”

"Then why are you still doing such a wicked thing?"

"Who would complain about having too much money?" The emperor said righteously and confidently!

"That makes sense... but I'm afraid you won't be able to get past the HR department with this idea..." Suixiang touched her chin.

"No big deal. I'm the Emperor, so I'm applying to join a medical... medical organization. At most, I can be a spokesperson for a while. Will Rhodes Island refuse?"

The Emperor said that his name was known to everyone on Terra, from the ninety-nine to the young. He thought that helping Rhodes Island to earn endorsement fees and getting a long-term free salary was a loss no matter how he looked at it.

"Um, are you sure you can fool the Heartbeater?" Suixiang asked doubtfully.

"There is a Whiplash in Rhodes Island!" The emperor widened his eyes.

"Nonsense, the Whiplash is also a member of the Sarkaz after all. Although there are not many of them left, Rhodes Island is Theresa's legacy, so having one shouldn't be a problem!" Suika looked at the emperor with an expression as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Then I won't go... What if my brain is eaten..." The emperor put his hands on his hips and changed his mind.

"If the Heart-beating Demon hears you say this, he will really dig out your brain to see what it is like..." Suixiang complained.

The two of them walked together until the evening

"You don't have to sing tonight?" Suixiang suddenly asked the emperor who was following her to the banquet.

"It's just a party, how long can it last? It's not too late to sing after we finish... Anyway, the closing time is midnight."

The emperor said that he had seen many banquets, which usually lasted only an hour or so and would not delay the evening performance at all.

After arriving at the villa area, the emperor patted Cuixiang's shoulder

"Good boy, you live so well? I wanted to rent a villa here before, but people said they were all taken and not for rent!"

Suika pointed inside

"I live in the villa that Shi Huaiya's family owns here."

"Are there extra spaces?"

"Yes, do you want to stay?"

"Nonsense! The hotel we booked here has a nice view, but it's nothing compared to this place!"

"I'll give Is a key later, and you can do it yourself after you're done at night!" Suixiang didn't mind the Emperor. After all, there was no pressure in "living together" with a penguin.

"OK! I knew you were my lucky star, Suika. Finally, I don't have to stay in that hotel anymore!"

The emperor patted his belly happily.

After the emperor and Is walked into the venue with the invitation letter, many people looked over. After seeing the emperor, several people's eyes lit up and they came up to ask for a photo.

Suixiang took a quick look and saw that almost everyone present was dressed in suits and ties, including the top elites of Xiosta.

The Emperor is quite influential among these people, which is consistent with his saying that he is so famous that he meets fans wherever he goes.

She didn't quite believe it when she was at Longmen before. After all, the emperor squatting at the door slurping noodles had never seen anyone ask him for an autograph.

Now seeing that these Xiosta elites actively asked for photos with the emperor after meeting him, I realized that this penguin actually has a good reputation outside.

"Ms. Suixiang, and Mr. Dadi, we are very pleased to have you here." A pink-haired uncle walked over.

When the people around saw him, they stood up straight and called him mayor.

Suika looked at the bearded man in front of her. She never thought that he could have a daughter as beautiful as Ceylon... To be precise, apart from the pink hair, it seemed that Ceylon did not inherit any of his looks.

"Hello, Mayor Hermann!" Suika replied politely.

"Oh, you know me?"

"A mayor who is so respected in Xiosta can't be from Dosoles!" Suixiang replied with a smile.

Hearing her words, the people around her laughed.

“Mr. Dadi, I am a loyal fan of yours. I have collected all your records from your debut to the one released in March this year.

I invited you before, but unfortunately I missed the opportunity to come due to time constraints. I would like to thank Miss Suixiang for the opportunity to meet you this time."

Hermann's words made everyone look at Suika. The emperor's fame was unquestionable, but his personality was as unpredictable as his music.

The emperor, whom even Mayor Hermann couldn't invite, was brought to this banquet by a little girl who looked like a teenager. This shows that this girl at least has a special place in the emperor's heart.

"You don't need to praise me so much, Your Excellency the Mayor. I'm just a lucky person that the Emperor knows. By comparison, everyone here is an elite who can call the shots in their own fields."

Suixiang's answer made everyone around her smile with satisfaction. After all, no one doesn't like compliments.

"You are not an ordinary person. Let me introduce you to you. This lady, Ibuki Suika, is an experienced messenger of natural disasters.

I think I was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Xiosta when I passed by, so we met today.

I invited you here this time because I hope you can stay in Xiosta and become a part of Xiosta.

Xiosta's beauty is definitely worthy of your stay."

Hearing Hermann's invitation, everyone around looked at him with envy.
