Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"I plan to enter Victoria and head northwest, then head east from Casterland to the Rhodes Island ship docked in Windermereland."

Suika looked at the map and drew a straight line

"Wouldn't it be closer to get there from Godottin County through Connor County?"

Whitesmith nodded. "It's true this route is closer, but when I was in Columbia, I received intelligence that the situation in the former Tara area near Connor County has been very complicated recently, and armed conflict is very likely. If you don't absolutely need to cross this area, it's best to stay away from it."

Suika's pupils shrank suddenly when she looked at the spot Whitesmith was pointing at.

The location was clearly written as Xiaoqiu County.

Anyone who has watched the plot of Blade Master knows what happened here.

Six bullets, six sinners and a noble soul fell here at the same time.

Suika had several encounters with the outcast in Rhodes Island.

Although the other person is old, he has a humorous heart.

Moreover, he is very popular in Rhodes Island.

Thinking of this, she fell silent.

Of course, it’s not about whether to save them or not, but the thought of seeing the army attacking civilians again makes Suika feel sick.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Whitesmith noticed that Suika suddenly fell silent and asked worriedly.

"No, but do you need me to give you a ride?"

Suika raised her head and looked at the other person.

Whitesmith shook his head.

“I just contacted Stormeye. He received the distress message earlier, but was stopped in the north.

I told him we would meet at the border in Victoria, and he would send someone to accompany us back to Rhode Island."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to the border." Suixiang replied after hearing this.

"Sister, won't you come with us?" Mark next to her suddenly asked after hearing Suika's words.

Suixiang knew what the other party meant. It was obvious that after seeing her fighting ability, the young man wanted her to be his bodyguard.

But she was not in the mood for that. Her mind was now occupied by Xiaoqiu County and what was about to happen there.

"I will only accompany you to the border. My colleagues will arrange for someone to escort you the rest of the way. I have other things to attend to..."

After saying that, Suika didn't continue to pay attention to Mark, but waved back Shanghai, who had always been arranged by her to be at the end of the team to be responsible for the rear guard work.

"I'm going to rest for a while. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, she jumped onto a big tree nearby, closed her eyes and recalled the things that happened in Xiaoqiu County.

At this point, she still didn't know the exact time of the incident, but it didn't matter. She only needed to reach the office in Godoting's territory, through which she could contact Rhodes Island to inquire about the time and personnel of the operators Rhodes Island would send to Kochi County.

As long as it's an outcast and the time is locked, she just needs to arrive on time.

The six sinners in the Deep Pool were doomed to die, but they were not worth Outcast's burial there.

Seeing that Suika didn't want to talk, Mark could only sit back next to the Rhodes Island operator in disappointment.

A day later, at the border, Stormeye's face turned grim after listening to Whitesmith's story.

After being blocked, he felt something was wrong, but at that time the enemy's legion had completely blocked the road to the south, and he had no way to bring people in, so he could only stay outside.

After discovering that the enemy army had withdrawn, he hurried to Yuexi Village, but found that the road on the map had disappeared.

Just when he was worried about what had happened here, news from Whitesmith arrived, and he quickly led his team to chase after them.

At this time, he looked at Suika

"I'm sorry to bother you this time. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would never see Lao Tie again" (Whitesmith).

"We're colleagues, so we'll help each other if we can. I was lucky this time. My previous plans were canceled, and I was just thinking about my next trip when I encountered this incident."

"So what are your plans next? I heard that this year's Xiosta Music Festival starts at the end of July. It's probably too early to go now."

Stormeye checked the time. It was only late June, and there was still a whole month until Xiosta's music festival.

"Oh, I heard from Whitesmith that there seems to be a lot of chaos in Xiaoqiu County recently. It's not that far away anyway, so I plan to go and check out the situation."

After Suika finished speaking, Whitesmith nodded. This was indeed the information he provided to Suika, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to go there even though he had heard the information from him.

Stormeye heard this and said, "Kou-gun, huh? I heard about him before I came here. It seems our ship has sent someone to investigate. I don't know who it is, but since we've sent someone to act alone, he must be a strong elite operator."

Of course, Suika knew who it was, but she didn't respond.

Several people walked into Victoria while chatting.

After resting for a night in the nearest town, Stormeye led them north.

And Suika went to the city of Karaton in the territory of Godoting.

The reason for choosing this place is that the location of Caraton City is right on the route he must pass.

Not only is there a Rhodes Island office here, but there are also people I know here, which makes it easier for me to move around.

And she happened to go and see how Pink Pig and Thief Cat Food were doing.

Thinking of the people in Karaton, Suixiang felt a little better.

After three days of walking in the wilderness, Suika arrived outside the city of Karaton in early July.

Just as she was queuing up to enter the city, she saw a convoy loaded with various supplies coming from outside.

Seeing the convoy, most people showed envy.

Just as Suika curiously stuck her head out to look at the convoy, the front vehicle stopped in front of her.

"Ms. Suika!"

A voice came from the car, and then the window opened and Ma Long appeared.

"Hello!" Suixiang waved to him. Judging from the uniform on his body, he must have been promoted again.

"Come on, get in the car, I'll take you into the city." Ma Long opened the car door enthusiastically and invited Cuixiang to get in.

Seeing this, Suixiang didn't hesitate and got into the car amid the envious and surprised gazes of the people around her.

"Thank you for your help!"

After getting in the car, Suixiang glanced at the driver and felt that he looked familiar, but she didn't know him, so she said politely.

Chapter 557: Green Sparks Meets Old Friends

"Ms. Suixiang, how long will you stay in Karaton this time? Do you need me to make any arrangements?"

Malone said humbly.

"Brother Ma Long, we are old acquaintances. There is no need to be so polite." Suixiang answered with a smile and looked out the window.

"By the way, brother, how did you get back from outside? And this caravan, could it be the caravan of Shi Huaiya's family?"

Malone gave a thumbs up

"Suixiang, you're right. This year, with the help of my family, I've successfully become a councilor and city defense commander in Karaton.

Well, I just happened to know through some channels that Karaton was recently short of something, and someone in the family happened to be in this business…"

Having said this, he smiled and said it all.

Suika had nothing to criticize about this.

After all, to a certain extent, she is also a vested interest. She enjoys the benefits brought by power while pretending to be pure and innocent. Cuixiang really doesn't have that ability.

Moreover, Ma Long was just taking advantage of the information gap caused by his power in the local area, and he did not commit any crime. There is really nothing to say about this matter.

At this time, Suika also recognized the person driving the car. He was someone close to Alyssa. Although she didn't know his name, Alyssa often brought him with her before, so he was considered one of her confidants.

"Then I'll book a hotel for you, give you some fresh air to wash off the dust... and help you maintain your appearance?"

Marlon pointed at Suika's large, somewhat rough horns.

Hearing his words, the two of them smiled knowingly.

We first met because of Suika's beauty corner.

“Forget about eating, but I can do some maintenance.

I've been out there for three or four months, either in the desert or the rainforest, so it's been a while since I've done any maintenance."

The two chatted and laughed as they drove to the door of an expensive-looking store with the words "Beauty Hospital" written on it.

The people coming in and out of here are obviously dressed like the local upper class aristocrats.

Malone said that this is the best place for beauty care in the city of Caraton. Local women and girls who are a little bit richer will choose to come here to care for their skin and hair.

After a moment of hesitation, Suika asked

"I'm allergic to hospitals, how about forgetting it?"

Seeing Suika's expression, Marlon said, "How about this? There's a private courtyard at the end of the street. It's my wife's property. I can arrange for someone to come there and provide you with individual care?"

"That's not good..." Suixiang touched her chin, and some movies from a certain island country came to her mind.

"Don't worry, all the staff here are women, so you won't feel embarrassed."

After hearing what Ma Long said, Suixiang felt relieved.

Shortly after he brought Suixiang to the villa, two Fengti women wearing white coats and carrying boxes, who looked very professional at first glance, walked in.

The two plump-hoofed women's eyes lit up when they saw Suika's large horns.

"Sister, come and sit here, let me take a good look at your beautiful horns...

Tsk tsk tsk, what a perfect horn, but sister, you really don’t know how to take care of it…”

Listening to the babble of the plump-hoofed woman, Suika couldn't help feeling dizzy, and without noticing, she bought a whole set of horn care repair fluid and polish from her, enough for her to use for a year.

"Sister, your horns are so beautiful. You are lucky. In the whole of Victoria, no one is better than us two at maintaining such large horns.

You know, we won the gold medal in the large horn protection competition in Minos before."

After Suixiang bought a large number of various skin care products, the two of them treated Suixiang better.

Three hours later, Suixiang's maintenance was finally over, and she rubbed her stiff neck.

At this time, her horns had completely changed their appearance, from being dark and gloomy at the beginning to being sparkling now. In the end, the more the two people looked at Suika's horns, the more they liked them, and they hung several beautiful decorations on them.

Although it seems very disadvantageous in combat, the light reflected by the pair of large horns on the battlefield can blind the opposing scouts.

But it must be said that these two plump-hoofed women from Minoa did not live up to their boasts in the care of their horns.

After watching the two of them leave, Suixiang called Marlon, told him that he was going to the infected district, and then walked over.

At the door of Green Sparks, I opened it and heard the bustling sounds coming from inside.

More than a dozen middle-aged men in work clothes were bragging and chatting with each other at the table, and in front of the bar, Fenfenmao was walking towards the crowd with a jug full of wine.

Xia Li was leaning on the bar with one hand and yawning.

When she saw Suika coming in, her eyes lit up.

"Suika!"

Suika waved to her

"Good afternoon, Xia Li, good afternoon, Susie. Where are Kugen and Yeyan? Why can't I see them?"

Suika asked with a smile after sitting down at the bar.

“Ye Yan is off today and not working.

Kugen has gone out for an inspection. If you come tomorrow, Susie and Yeyan will be the only ones left here, and I will go over to help."

After Xia Li finished speaking, he handed Cuixiang a glass of wine.

Raise the glass and drink it all

"Ah, comfortable."

After nodding with satisfaction, she looked at Xia Li and asked in a low voice:

"Is there any way to contact Rhodes Island here?"

"Contact Rhodes Island? There is indeed a machine, but it has restrictions. Only elite operators have permission to use it."

After hearing what Cuixiang said, Xia Li looked around and spoke only when he found that no one was paying attention to this side.
