Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

As the mayor, his public invitation can be said to be a great honor. After that, the young lady will definitely be able to easily gain a foothold in the mayor's office.

The emperor frowned after hearing Hermann's words. He thought to himself that if Suika could have stayed, she would never have come here.

But in this situation where everyone is paying attention, can Suika really refuse the other party's invitation?

Thinking of Hermann roasting Suika over the fire, the emperor's expression became a little unfriendly.

Chapter 208 The End of the Banquet

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Suixiang shook her head firmly.

"I'm so sorry, Mayor Hermann.

The moment I stepped out of the Dragon Gate, I made a vow to myself to measure the land of Terra with my feet and to witness the scenery of various countries with my eyes.

Xiosta is indeed a beautiful place, but merely staying in beauty and prosperity is not the way for us Scourge Messengers.

We chase natural disasters, observe natural disasters, predict natural disasters and ultimately lead people to avoid natural disasters so that more people can live better lives.

As for me, I hope that after traveling all over Terra, I can write a book introducing Terra and the Scourge from my perspective as a Scourge Messenger.

Therefore, I cannot stop and stay in this beautiful and prosperous Xiosta at the moment. "

After hearing Suika decisively reject Hermann's invitation, everyone was afraid to speak for a moment.

At this moment, two loud applause sounds were very harsh.

I looked over and saw that it was the Emperor and Mayor Hermann.

It was not surprising that the emperor would applaud. After all, he was brought by Suixiang, and he must have a good relationship with Suixiang.

In this situation, as a member of Suixiang's side and an independent force, he would naturally choose to help Suixiang.

Mayor Herman's applause made others unsure whether to applaud or remain silent.

At this time, Herman looked at Suika with admiration.

"Great ambition, you remind me of my daughter.

I apologize to you here for being too presumptuous and abrupt.

Just like Kronin said, you are a messenger of disaster with great ideals.

I admire your talent and want you to stay in Xiosta, but if Terra loses a great book because of this, then wouldn't I be a sinner, hahahaha.

I have seen your will and heard your appeal. In order to make up for my recklessness, starting today, I will provide you with a sum of money every year in my personal name until your work is completed.

Of course, if you intend to stop later, I believe Xiosta will be your best choice."

After hearing Hermann's words, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief and applauded.

"Then I would like to thank Mayor Hermann for his support. If that day ever comes, I will carefully consider your suggestions."

After saying this, Suika said goodbye to Hermann and was then pulled by the emperor to the dining table nearby.

Cuixiang picked up a piece of grilled sausage, chewed it, then picked up two slices of bread from the side, sprinkled cheese and sesame seeds on them, put the sausage in between, and rolled a hot dog out with her hands under the emperor's contemptuous gaze.

"You are a talent if you can make a thousand-yuan meal look like ten-yuan food."

Seeing how Cuixiang ate, the emperor felt that the food in her hand was not worth it.

“Even if it’s worth thousands of dollars, it’s still worthless after being chewed up.

I have always felt that Western food values are problematic.

Rare ingredients are always good and expensive, but tumor beasts, which can be raised in every household, are disliked because they are too common.

Don’t you think that Turdus meat is much more delicious than those things? The most important thing is that it is very filling.”

Cuixiang picked up a plate of cut tumor beast meat that had just been taken out of the oven and started to eat it with hearty mouthfuls.

The emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He glanced around and found that it was just as Cuixiang said. Obviously, the meat of the tumor beast tasted good, but very few of the elites attending the banquet came here to get the food. It seemed that everyone disliked the "common" food such as the tumor beast.

He couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"You little guy can see clearly.

But what you said is not entirely correct. Turdus also come in different types. As far as I know, the flavors of the Turdus from Kjerag and Minos are completely different, and the meat of Turdus from these two places is more than twice as expensive as that from Victoria and Columbia.

This means that the meat used for this banquet is ordinary tumor beasts. If the meat was from those two places, I don't think these elites would mind eating some."

Since Suixiang and the Emperor didn't know anyone here, and she just rejected Hermann.

Even though Herman took the initiative to explain the matter, these elites still tried their best to avoid any interaction with Suika.

This also allowed Suixiang and the emperor to relax.

The two of them strolled along the dining table, eating various delicacies and tasting the local wines, without feeling awkward at all.

After tasting everything they were interested in at the table, the emperor pointed to the door. Suika nodded, and the two of them walked to Hermann to tell him that the emperor was going back to prepare for the performance. Then they took Is, who had been missing since entering the banquet, and walked out the door together.

"What do you think of this banquet?" the emperor asked after walking out.

"There's a lot of delicious food here, and the drinks are pretty good too. I think it would be better if there weren't people chattering around and I could eat in peace."

Suixiang's words stunned the emperor for a moment, and he finally shook his head to indicate that as long as he is happy.

"I won't be going to the concert. Here are the keys. Just remember to come back tonight."

The emperor nodded, then looked at Suika

"I have something I'm not sure if I should ask."

"What?"

"Why do you have a doll hanging on your head..."

The emperor finally couldn't help but complain about the doll that appeared on Suixiang's head at some point and had been hanging on her horn.

"Ah!" Suixiang reached out and grabbed the Shanghai doll, which began to struggle violently.

"I should have punished you at my waist today, but why did you climb onto my head again!" Looking at the puppet that had grown a fist and hit her arm, Suixiang let it go helplessly. After the Shanghai puppet flew up, it straightened its clothes that were wrinkled by Suixiang and jumped onto her head again.

"Puppet?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"I guess so! A friend gave it to me. Apart from its small temper, it's actually quite interesting." Suixiang reached out and tried to poke the doll's body, but the doll blocked her action with its hands in front of it.

The emperor had seen many similar puppets in Leithania. Although the puppet in front of him looked more "human", it was just a puppet after all, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"Then I'll go first!" The emperor waved his hand and took Is away from the villa area.

And Suixiang turned around and went back to where she lived.

After entering the room, she dragged a chair to the balcony, looking at the sea in front of her and the twin moons above her head. Suika leaned there, picked up the Ibuki scoop and hummed softly, "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my wine glass and ask the blue sky..."

Behind her, the Shanghai puppet that heard her singing raised its head and swayed its body gently along with her humming...

Chapter 209 Meeting on the Volcano

The next morning, the emperor said he was going to go mountain climbing and asked Suixiang if she wanted to go with him.

Suixiang pointed to the high mountains not far away, and then pointed to the huge sun above her head.

"Are you sure you want to run up there in the scorching sun?"

"what happened?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting tanned like a penguin?" Suixiang reached out and poked the emperor's belly.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah, the wind blows away all the innocent words of children...you are the one who got tanned like a penguin!"

The emperor was not only touched in a sensitive part but also angered by Suika's words. He jumped three feet high after Suika poked him.

"What are you so excited about~"

Suika pulled her hand back and tried to escape but was caught by the emperor.

"Would you mind walking with me and giving me some face?"

"What?" Seeing that the emperor was so sincere, Suixiang didn't want to tease him anymore.

"There's a shameless old man on the mountain. His kid stole my record. I can't do anything to him, so you help me get the record back!"

The emperor's fins were slightly bent, making the shape of a fist, and he waved it in front of him.

"Um... As the Emperor, do you still need to consider other people's opinions when doing things in your life?" After hearing what he said, Suixiang understood that he was going to meet the fire goat.

"It's not that I have to rely on that guy's attitude, but he has so many people under him that I really can't do anything to him if he wants to run away."

"Okay! When do we go up the mountain?"

"You agreed?"

"Of course, given our relationship, how could I just watch you being bullied and not help you?"

"Let's go! Now!"

After saying that, the emperor put on a suit, sunglasses and a big gold chain, and walked up the mountain with Cuixiang with the arrogance of a dragon king.

After walking out of the villa, the two went straight up the mountain.

“Hey, don’t tell me, I went up the mountain from other places before, and someone charged me for admission.

There's a special road here, and you don't need to pay for an entrance fee. It's really great to have privileges!" As the emperor walked, he complained to Cuixiang about the entrance fee he had to pay when he went up the mountain.

"Isn't that normal? After all, if you can afford a house here, the price of the house is enough to keep people going up and down for dozens or even hundreds of years.

Besides, as aristocrats, what matters most is face.

Although moving up here won't save them much money, this kind of money is only available in the villa area. Doesn't it instantly elevate their status? It's all about face, isn't it? "

When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Suika suddenly turned around and found that Is had not followed.

"What about Is, not coming together?"

"He still has some things to do and will meet again in the evening." The emperor waved his hand and continued walking up the mountain.

Suika took out a parasol and handed it to the Shanghai doll above her head, then chased after it.

"Damn, you even brought an umbrella!" After catching up with the emperor, looking at the doll holding an umbrella above Cuixiang's head to block the sun, the emperor speechlessly stretched out his hand and made a contemptuous gesture.

Then when Suika took out a lady's umbrella and handed it to him, he refused again, saying that as a man, there was no way he could use such a feminine umbrella.

Amidst the silent mockery of Shanghai, the Emperor's flapping short legs were two points faster.

At noon, the two of them arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

"Have you been fooled? There's no one here!"

After coming up, Suixiang looked around. In this weather, there was no shade on the top of the volcano. So except for the two of them, no other shrews were willing to come here at this time.

"Wait!" The emperor took out a pistol from somewhere and fired several shots into the crater.

Then Suixiang saw a furry pink ball appear out of thin air in front of the emperor.

"Oh my, isn't this an old friend?

Why did you think of me here?"

"Stop talking nonsense, your kid stole my record.

I'll give you a chance. Give me back the record and let me beat that guy up, and we'll be even. Otherwise...

My brother can shatter a mountain with one punch, but do you believe she destroyed your nest? "

The emperor pushed Suika forward halfway through his speech, and then continued speaking in a heroic and confident tone.

“…” Dolly looked at the emperor helplessly, not knowing how to complain about his behavior.

"Fighting is not a good thing. How about we have a drink? Then you return the emperor's things to him, and we'll call it a day."

Suika suggested after rubbing her head.

"Well, why don't you wait a minute, I'll go find it for you!" Seeing that the emperor was so aggressive, and Dolly could also feel that the girl next to him had a powerful energy in her body, which was not inferior to himself and the emperor, so he decisively admitted defeat.

After all, he remembered that this penguin knew the wolf cubs in Syracuse. What if he lured them here...

Another half hour passed like this.

Cuixiang looked at the big sun above her head, then picked up the wine flask and drank a sip to quench her thirst, then walked to the crater and asked

"That sheep won't stand us up, will it?"

“I don’t think so… Although the old man is a little heartless, he also knows what is important and what is not.

After all, if I could find it, the news could reach the wolf cub at any time, depending on my mood."

The emperor touched his chin uncertainly, but finally felt that Dolly would not lie to him.
