Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

She usually does whatever she thinks of, without considering other people's ideas at all. But at the same time, she will control everything within a certain range when doing things, and will never affect the environment without authorization.

Just like when the two of them passed by a flea nest in the morning, the fleas didn't attack them because they were probably full at the time, so Suixiang didn't bother with the flea nest at all.

But in the afternoon, the two were attacked by needle fleas that chased them from behind. She rushed back to eradicate the problem completely and killed all the needle fleas.

Afterwards, she confidently stated that her principle was that I would not offend others unless they offended me, but if anyone offended me, my entire family would be killed.

Because those needle fleas in the morning didn't provoke her, she could reluctantly spare their lives considering that all life has the right to live.

But in the afternoon, they turned against her and attacked her, which touched Suika's bottom line.

So her behavior can only be regarded as self-defense counterattack.

When she said this, she shamelessly patted Carmen's shoulder.

"Old man, look, we've killed such a large nest of fleas, which is considered a contribution to Iberia. Don't you think we should give you a small reward?"

As she said this, she rubbed her fingers in a very mercenary manner.

Carmen said nothing, as if she hadn't heard her at all.

Chapter 528 On the Road

"Old man, the salt scales are almost here, so be careful. Don't sprain your waist. I won't carry you on my back to find someone to treat you."

Feeling that the ground beneath her feet was about to break, Suixiang looked at Carmen beside her with a smile on her face.

Carmen drew her sword from her waist and tapped the ground lightly.

"Then I have to be serious, so as not to trouble Suika..."

The moment the words fell, the two of them jumped up at the same time.

The next second, the ground broke open.

A huge mouth opened from the ground.

"Oh my god, this is the huge mouth of the abyss!" Relying on her ability to fly, Cuixiang came to the side in an instant, looking at the salt scales breaking out of the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

The salt scale in front of him was nearly five meters long, and its open mouth could easily swallow an adult.

What’s even more terrifying is that this kind of life has a hard exoskeleton, and it is extremely rugged.

If you get hit by this thing, you will at least suffer a minor injury.

These salt scales living in the salt wind zone eat everything, including humans, so if an unfamiliar person walks into their hunting range, he or she is likely to become their meal.

Unfortunately, this saltscale chose the wrong opponent.

The two people in front of it were not good food.

They can also be said to be the two people with the strongest individual combat capabilities in Iberia.

Just as Suixiang was still marveling at the size of the salt scales.

Carmen's sword had passed through the gap and pierced Saltscale's brain directly.

The salt scales that fell to the ground were still twitching because of their instant brain death.

Suika and Carmen watched from a distance as Saltscale finally calmed down.

"Old man, your swordsmanship is truly exquisite.

The front of this bighead fish is almost entirely bone, and you can find a gap in the bones and pierce its head through it in an instant."

As a member of the violent fighting team, Suika, who believes that great strength can create miracles, says that she really cannot learn this kind of sophisticated technique.

"I'm old now, and my skills are definitely not what they used to be. Twenty years ago, I could have easily smashed its brain into paste with that sword strike.

Although it may not seem like a big difference, it can help the salt scales quiet down faster."

Although Carmen was modest, she was still very satisfied with Zi's skills.

After confirming that Yanlin was completely dead, Suixiang waved her hand and Yanlin disappeared in front of her.

Carmen was not surprised by this.

He'd seen Suika do this several times in the past few days.

You will be surprised once or twice at first.

But after that, I became numb.

The two of them quickly left this troubled place where salt scales were rampant.

After passing through the salt wind zone, we finally saw a town.

"Ah, I finally see someone... I hope the same thing as in the last town won't happen again this time."

Seeing the small town in front of me, I felt a little sad.

After all, during the time I've been in Iberia, it seems like nothing good has happened to me whenever I've entered the city.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor incident."

On the way, Carmen heard Suika complain more than once about what happened after she came to Iberia (she concealed the content related to the monastery).

After hearing what she said, Carmen felt a little unsure. Is the security in Iberia really that chaotic?

But he had never encountered such messy things when he was touring around.

Soon the old man and the young man arrived at the entrance of the town.

Like the previous town, the entrance of this town is still guarded by people from the Inquisition.

These guards dressed in Inquisition uniforms are considered the lowest level personnel of the Inquisition, and above them are the Inquisition under the command of the Inquisitors.

But even the most humble people at least recognized Carmen's outfit.

In Iberia, a person carrying a sword is not necessarily an Inquisitor, and a person holding a gun is not necessarily an Inquisitor either. But if a person is carrying a lantern, then he is undoubtedly an Inquisitor.

At least in this country, no one has dared to impersonate the judge yet.

So, after seeing Carmen's decorations, the guards didn't even ask basic questions like where the two came from or where they were going, and simply chose to let them pass.

As the two walked into the town, a woman named Liberi, dressed in Vatican clothing, walked up to them.

"Hello..." Just after she finished the first sentence, her pupils suddenly dilated after she saw Carmen's appearance clearly, her whole body shuddered, her face gradually turned red, and she couldn't say anything.

"I didn't strangle her, old man. Looks like you met a fan?"

At this moment, Suika's words made her barely wake up.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty, I am Avina, a novice monk under the command of the local Inquisitor Irene.

Welcome to the small town of Angus."

The woman stood up straight and bowed respectfully to Carmen.

Carmen nodded.

"We are just passing by and taking a day off here, there is no need to be so nervous.

Just tell Irene, if you have anything to do, you don’t have to come to see me.”

After listening to Carmen, Avina nodded and watched Carmen and Suika walk into the town, then quickly ran towards the church in the town.

"Avina, aren't you in charge of the gate today? What happened?"

An old woman in her sixties looked at the woman who hurried in from outside.

"Mom... I just saw Her Majesty Carmen at the door..." Avina said breathlessly.

"Your Majesty!" Irene stood up after hearing Avina's words.

"That shouldn't be the case. According to previous schedules, he should be patrolling along the coast. Why would he come inland?

Are you sure it's Her Majesty Carmen?"

Irene looked at Avina and asked seriously.

Avina pointed to Carmen's photo on the wall and said

"That His Majesty looks almost exactly like the one in the photo. There's no way I could be mistaken."

"He's the only one?"

"No, there is another little girl, but she doesn't look like a local," Avina replied.

Irene became even more confused after hearing this.

But she stood up and walked to the door

"Did His Majesty say anything else?"

"Oh, he said they were just passing through and were taking a day off. If you don't have time, you don't have to go see him."

Avina replied.

"Child, when His Majesty comes to our place, no matter whether you are free or not, you must make time to come over." She pointed outside and said, "Lead the way."

The two of them quickly chased in the direction of Suika and Carmen.

At this time, Suika was complaining to Carmen

"Is this what you meant by no trouble?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Carmen pressed the brim of her hat.

"Hey, you're not kidding.

In Iberia, who would dare to mess with the Inquisitor?

Even if others don't know you, they can guess your identity by looking at your outfit.

If you have any brains, you won't mess with us."

Suika said, pointing to the lantern on his waist.

"You didn't say you wanted to hide your identity." Carmen seemed very happy as it was a rare opportunity for her to defeat Suixiang.

Chapter 529: Relaxing Lunch Time

“It’s boring…

What you just said was shameless.

You are a saint from Iberia, and you suddenly came here.

Whether it's true or not, the local judge will have to take a look."

Thinking about how Carmen had just deliberately mentioned that the judge here didn't need to come, Suixiang wanted to give him a middle finger elegantly.

"Haha, after all, I'm a high-ranking official in the Inquisition, so I have to give an explanation for my sudden disappearance for such a long time.

Wouldn't it be better to ask the people here to help pass the message back?

What if the court thinks something has happened to me and sends a group of people over?

Do we still want the coastline?"

Carmen explained the reason why she did this in a very open and honest manner.

And he was right.

After a long time without any news of the Saint, the Inquisition was indeed preparing to summon the Inquisitors to search for him.

Fortunately, Carmen predicted the movement over there in advance, and the Inquisition terminated the action only after the news here was passed back.

Even though many people still have doubts about him traveling with the murderer, Carmen being alive is better than anything else for Iberia.

The two of them came to an ordinary-looking restaurant while complaining to each other.

"One of our signature salt scale soup, with breadcrumbs for two, please."

After Carmen ordered the meal, Suika showed a disgusted expression.

"Old man, are you sick? We've been eating salt scales for several days. I feel like my breath smells like salt scales. Why are you still ordering this stuff?"

Hearing Suika's words, Carmen shrugged and pointed at the shop's menu.

“No way, this is the cheapest.

I didn't bring much money with me, and I'll have to borrow some money from Ms. Irene for this meal."

……

Carmen's words left Suika speechless.
