Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey
Page 106
This huge gap drives those who are already irrational crazy.
Of course, they didn't expect Miss Suixiang to have such extraordinary abilities, but in the end, you ruined yourself because of your madness. You can only blame yourself for it."
As a true Victorian, Marlon clearly sees these issues more clearly than Suika.
He also didn't think Suika would lie to him about something like this, because there was no need.
If he really wanted to find out what happened in Londinium at that time, it would not be difficult to find out about the affairs of his own family.
【Hate/h ...
“So, there is nothing strange in this world.
Then I came to Caraton, not on purpose, but just on the way.
My goal is to go to Xiosta and attend the Midsummer Music Festival there."
"Oh, Xiosta, that's a nice place.
Well, my family happens to have a sea view villa over there for vacations. If you don't mind, I'll ask the housekeeper to bring you the key in a while, so you don't have to worry about finding a place to stay during your time there.
After all, it’s hard to book a hotel in Xiosta all year round. If you don’t book in advance, you’ll have to pitch a tent outside in the summer.”
"It won't have any impact, right?"
"Of course not. The villa originally belonged to the family, but I only have the key right now. The property prices in Xiosta aren't much cheaper than in Londinium. I can't afford a villa there."
Ma Long stood up with a smile
"Since you have to leave tomorrow, Miss Suixiang, I won't bother you anymore. I'll have the housekeeper bring the key to you later."
"Okay, thank you for your help!" Suixiang yawned, waved her hand and walked back to her guest room.
Chapter 194: Xiosta’s “Crisis”
After returning to the room and lying on the bed, Suixiang fell asleep.
It was already the next morning when she woke up again.
After sitting up in a daze, Suixiang touched her head and felt as if she had missed something.
When she finished washing up and opened the door to go out for breakfast, she saw a middle-aged man in a butler's uniform standing upright at the door, and she was suddenly startled.
"Sorry, sorry, I was so sleepy last night that I forgot about the keys...
You won’t stand here all night…”
When she saw the person, Suixiang remembered that she had forgotten something - last night Marlon said that he would arrange for the housekeeper to deliver the key to her, but she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Well, it seems that I’m too tired these days and need to drink some wine to sober up.
While thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, Suixiang gave an apologetic smile.
“That’s not necessary, dear guest.
When the master arranged for me to come here, he specifically told me not to disturb your rest...
This is the key to Xiosta Villa, please keep it safe.
The Shihuaiya family also has property in Xiosta. If you want to leave, just return this key there before you leave."
Suixiang nodded, took the key and put it in her pocket.
"Okay, thank Brother Ma Long for me. I hope to see you again next time!"
After watching the housekeeper leave, Suixiang went out to check out.
After going out and having breakfast at a random restaurant, she sent a message to Xia Li on her mobile phone to tell her that she was leaving, and then walked out of the door of Caraton without any reluctance.
Although the infrastructure in most parts of Terra is very poor, Godoting County is an exception in Victoria.
Godotin, which is adjacent to the sea, has obviously more abundant production and living materials than other places. Coupled with the warm environment and Godotin's preferential treatment of business, the business atmosphere here is more intense and prosperous than other places.
For the development of commerce, the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, especially roads, is naturally inevitable.
In Suixiang's personal opinion, the roads in Godoting Territory are obviously much better than other places in Victoria, or even the roads outside the city of Londinium.
Looking at the brown-haired Wolper girl sitting on the roof of a carriage not far away and the man driving the carriage, Suika subconsciously thought of an anime she had watched before called "Spice and Wolf".
Especially the clothing with a very European folk style gives people a stronger sense of déjà vu.
In addition to commerce, agriculture is also quite developed in Godoting, especially in late summer, when the sea breeze with a hint of salty smell blows ashore from the south, blowing through the wheat fields and stirring up waves of wheat, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Suixiang couldn't help but take out her camera and took many photos along the way.
"Wow, these photos I took before even getting to Xiosta are already enough for a photo album. They look so beautiful no matter what, I can't bear to throw any of them away!"
Looking at the pile of thick photo albums in her backpack, Suika hesitated for a moment and decided to keep them all and have them sent to Rhodes Island.
As for the photography collection, I can just buy one when I get to Xiosta.
"Boom..." Just as Suika was admiring the beautiful scenery, the vibration and loud roar coming from not far away interrupted her feelings.
"That's the sound of a landship. How did the landship get here?"
After climbing over a small hill not far away, Suixiang saw the huge high-speed battleship behind the hill.
The warship sailed in the waterway like a roaring beast.
Watching the other person walking further and further away, Suixiang couldn't help but frown.
Because the high-speed warship is heading west.
What's west of Godottin?
Sargon?
Minoan?
Or... Xiosta?
Sargon and Minos are two countries after all. Before the issue of Londinium is resolved, the lord of Godotin would not take the initiative to go to war with these two countries even if he is stupid.
After all, wars between countries cannot be ended in a short time, and from what Suika saw, everyone in the Gaoduoting territory was relaxed from top to bottom, and they did not seem to be preparing for a war.
Moreover, in the battle between the two countries, even if the main force was not destroyed, it was just dragged here.
If something happens to Londinium and he can't send people to go, he will lose the right to sit at the table and share the cake.
The contemporary Lord of Godoting is no fool, and he will certainly not do such a completely unprofitable deal.
Then the purpose of the high-speed battleship is obvious - Xiosta.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the Grand Duke of Godotin wants to fire at Xiosta and capture Xiosta.
Instead, they use the threat of "force" to force the other party to join them.
This was a common development method used by Victoria.
However, the lord of Xiosta is not a pushover either, and he knows how to please both sides.
Not to mention now, even a few years later, when Xiosta was relocated due to the volcano and its economy fell into a slump, the lord did not choose to side with either Victoria or Colombia.
Lord Godotin knew the timing very well. He did not choose to take action at the most lively moment, because taking away someone's money is like killing their parents.
Instead, they only force it when it is almost the end.
Even if he couldn't get it, it would make Xiosta's midsummer ending less wonderful.
For Godoting, this was just a test and an attempt, but Suika didn't seem so happy.
After all, I have gone through so much trouble to reach Xiosta, and I am ready to experience the taste of summer.
What fun is there in this?
Thinking of this, Suixiang felt that she should do something.
On the Warrior, Baron Glamorgan looked towards Xiosta and asked the staff beside him:
"How are you preparing?"
"Report to the Baron, the news that the Warrior has arrived at the border has spread, and the news that Victoria hopes Xiosta can join has also spread throughout Xiosta."
"What about that old guy? Is he still unwilling to give up the leadership of Xiosta?" Baron Glamorgan asked gritting his teeth.
"Hermann rejected our conditions and expelled our delegation." The staff officer replied calmly.
"Damn old thing, does he really think we dare not attack Xiosta! Come on, set up the cannons for me!" Baron Glamorgan said with a red face after hearing that the delegation was expelled.
"My Lord, I do not recommend this.
The above requirement is to completely capture Xiosta.
The value of Xiosta lies in its tourism and commerce. Once the war breaks out, the broken Xiosta will not bring any value.
And Colombia will not stand by and watch us take Xiosta by force."
The staff officer acted as if he didn't notice the Baron's mood and replied calmly.
"Damn it, damn it, are we just going to let that old dog be so arrogant!
Oh, and arrange for someone to go to Xiosta and kill that old man!" Baron Glamorgan slapped his forehead, ready to punish Herman.
Chapter 195: Death of the Righteous
Just as Baron Glamorgan angrily wanted to kill Hermann, Suika followed behind the landship.
She was not worried that anything might happen to the one from Xiosta. After all, he would still appear in the plot several years later, and most importantly, he was in good health.
He was just worried that the arrival of this high-speed warship would ruin his summer trip to Xiosta.
Because of the high-speed battleship, Suixiang quickened her pace and arrived outside the city of Xiosta on the second night.
Standing on a tree, looking at the city not far away, seeing the bright lights inside, Suixiang breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the arrival of the landship has not completely affected Xiosta's holiday.
I was originally planning to go directly into Xiosta, but before I moved, I noticed a rustling sound not far away.
"Well, who would be here this late at night?"
It’s no wonder that Suixiang was confused, the route she took was not a normal one at all.
If she couldn't fly, she wouldn't have walked here, because this is a fairly large forest.
The direction she was looking was the only relatively hidden path in the woods.
When Suika saw this road in the air before, she judged that this was probably the path leading to Xiosta.
"Whoosh!"
Before Suixiang could see clearly who was walking on the street at night.
Two cold arrows had already hit his face.
Accompanied by a muffled groan, Suika fell from the tree.
Ten seconds later, footsteps came under the tree
"What about people?"
They looked under the tree and did not see the person they shot down with the arrow, but they were certain that the person in the tree would not be able to escape with that arrow.
"Are you looking for me?"
A crisp voice came from behind the group.
The next second, those people picked up their weapons without hesitation and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from, but they missed again.
One of them swallowed
"How is that possible? I clearly saw her standing right here..."
At this time, Suixiang was standing on a big tree above her head, looking at the figures below and counting that there were eight people in total.
These guys are definitely not ordinary people.
From their positions and reactions, it can be seen that they are all veterans of many battles, and are most likely from an elite force.
They were heading towards Victoria, and although the weapons they used had no obvious markings, their quality was not something that ordinary people could buy.
Suixiang weighed the arrow in her hand and almost guessed the identities of these people.
They should be the elite soldiers on that landship.
As for why they are here...
He walked towards Xiosta from a small road fully armed in the middle of the night, and tried to kill all the living people he met on the way. This behavior did not seem like that of a good person.
