Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Suika held the two feathered beasts that had strayed into her hands and shook them, then said

"Roast the feather beast?"

"Yeah!" Before the adults could speak, the two children cheered.

"Let me do it... Speaking of roasting the feathered beast, I used to learn it in a bakery." Mrs. Linda smiled and took the feathered beast from Suika and brought the children to the river.

When only Suika and Tony were left by the fire, Tony asked

"Do you know that there will be more Sarkaz attacking us?"

Suika shook her head

“How would I know, but we are only about a week away from our destination.

Let's hurry up, we'll be safe once we get there.

Isn't your partner from the Commerce Union? Then you can just pay a few knights through them to take you back to Leithania. It's safe and stylish."

Tony's eyes lit up when he heard Suika's words.

He had indeed considered that if someone really wanted to harm his family, they would never let him return to Leithania easily.

Then how can he ensure the safety of his family after parting with Suixiang?

Suika gave him some good advice.

Although we can't hire the top competitive knights, ordinary knights are still a problem.

As long as the scene is made big enough, the Sarkaz people will not dare to act rashly.

Once he returns to Leithania, he can contact his military connections and ensure the safety of his family.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Tony, have you never doubted it?"

"Suspicion, suspicion of what?" Tony asked as he stirred the fire.

"For example, were those Sarkaz you met arranged by me specifically to cheat you out of your money?"

"Hahahaha, of course not.

Even though I, Old Tony, am just an ordinary aristocratic businessman now, my vision and experience are still there.

Those Sarkaz genuinely wanted to kill me.

If it weren't for your rescue, my family would probably have all the bodies rotting away by now.

As for money... I've figured it out.

When a person dies, he cannot take any money with him.

If I can really spend money to make my family's life better and pave the way for Anthony and Winnie in the future, then it would be worth it."

Tony turned over some burnt bread and looked at Suika.

“The most important thing for a businessman is to have vision and make accurate investments.

I think Miss Suixiang is a good investment. If I can make friends with you for a small amount of money, it would be a great deal for me. "

After Tony finished speaking, Suika gave him a thumbs up and said without any modesty that Tony had good taste.

"But I heard that people outside of Da Yan don't raise their children until they reach the right age and then let them go out and fight on their own, don't they?"

"How is it possible... Which idiot spread this rumor?

If the efforts of several generations of family are not passed on to future generations, will they be given to outsiders?

How did those families that have been passed down for hundreds of years pass it down?" Tony rolled his eyes.

Even families with poor financial conditions would prepare a generous farewell gift when their children leave them to work outside, let alone a family like theirs.

Just like Anthony, after he graduates, whether he wants to join the army, business or politics, as a father, he will provide corresponding help.

This also comes from the background and relationships of one's own family.

"I don't know. I saw it in a book called "Yi Sen". The book said that the two moons outside Dayan are rounder than Dayan's, but I don't see much difference..." Suixiang looked up at the two moons that were slowly rising in the eastern sky and complained.

Chapter 219: It’s Hard to Meet, But It’s Not Hard to Part

"Hahaha, we all live on the land of Terra, how could the moon be farther away here than over there... Hmm, maybe he went to Kjerag, where the terrain is higher and closer to the moon, so the double moons he sees might be bigger!

But speaking of it, Dayan has always been very mysterious to the outside world.

Even though Leithania is not far from Dayan, not much news about Dayan can be heard from merchants.

I heard that the feudal slave system still exists in Da Yan, and the people below don't have enough food or warm clothes. Is that true?"

Tony laughed for a while, then remembered the legend about the Great Flame he had heard in Letania. He couldn't help but curiously ask about this messenger of disaster who claimed to have come from the Great Flame and was heading to the West to worship... and study Terra.

Suika shrugged

"The degree of falsehood in the content is like the roundness of the moon outside..."

"Really?"

“I’m not sure if you can go inside Dayan, but Longmen should be no problem.

This is Dayan's gateway to the outside world and the only open trading port at present.

The war in Kazdel has subsided, and the trade routes have reopened. If possible, I suggest you visit there next time you travel. I guarantee you'll be amazed."

Tony nodded after Suika finished speaking

"Good idea. I've heard of Longmen. But the Sarkaz civil war has made the road to Longmen too dangerous.

But now that the civil war in Kazdel has stopped, the road is open again.

If I have the chance next time, I will definitely go to Longmen to see it for myself!"

Just as the two were chatting, several people in the distance had already dealt with the feathered beast and walked over.

"Sister Suixiang, why do you like to drink? That stuff is spicy and obviously not tasty at all!" Winnie sat next to Suixiang and looked at her holding a feathered beast leg in one hand and an Ibuki gourd in the other, eating meat and wine happily, looking a little strange.

As a child, she couldn't understand why Suixiang liked to drink something that didn't taste good at all.

Suika looked at her with a smile "Because I'm an alcoholic!"

"Poof~" Tony, who was not far away, couldn't help but almost spit it out.

“It’s just a pun, weird?

It seems that you, Uncle Tony, have no sense of humor...

Look at Anthony, you're not surprised by this. It's obvious that you're out of date."

Suika pointed at Anthony who was standing beside her with a completely unresponsive look on his face.

"Ahem... Madam, am I really old?" Tony tried to get affirmation from his wife unconvinced.

“You don’t even look at people in your teens anymore.

If I remember correctly, your military service was twenty years ago. Look at your belly, and you still have the nerve to tell others every day that you were almost selected as a Golden Law Guard.

Mrs. Linda rolled her eyes at her husband, and her words choked him so much that he sat there dejectedly, silently venting his anger at the wings of the feathered beast in front of him.

"I heard that it is very dangerous in the wilderness at night. How do we plan to keep watch at night?" Anthony asked excitedly after dinner.

As a young man, he was particularly excited to sleep in the wilderness for the first time.

“No, Shanghai will be responsible for the night guard.

Everyone, eat and drink. If you feel tired, go to sleep in the tent. If there is any danger, Shanghai and I will take care of it."

Suixiang said, pointing to Shanghai who was standing on the top of a nearby tent.

"Where are you staying tonight? I see you haven't set up your tent yet!

How about letting Anthony sleep outside tonight, and you and Winnie sleep in the same room?"

Mrs. Linda on the side looked at Suika gently.

Suika shook her head and pointed to the tree.

"I'll sleep there. The view is wide enough and it's convenient for me to take action if there's any trouble."

"But Sister Suixiang, what if she wants to turn over while sleeping in the tree?" Winnie asked worriedly.

"As long as you anchor yourself to the tree, you won't fall over...

Don’t worry, my special feature is that I can sleep on the floor anywhere.

I tell you, there is a female warrior in Dayan who can sleep peacefully while hanging on a rope. My skills are far inferior to hers."

"Wow, so amazing!" Winnie said with sparkling eyes and a look of admiration.

"Is this possible? Even an awake person needs to concentrate and maintain balance if they want to lie on a rope. When sleeping, people are unconscious, so how can she maintain balance?"

Anthony was completely incredulous.

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's why your parents brought you out to see the world."

Suika looked calm, which made Anthony wonder if he was overthinking it.

At night, after everyone fell asleep, Suixiang leaned against a tree branch, sipped her wine, and admired the sky of Terra.

"Are you wondering why I want to go with them?" The Shanghai doll flew in front of Suika and waved its hands, gesturing something.

Shanghai nodded after hearing what Suika said.

"It's simple. Walking alone in the wilderness is too boring. Oh, don't pull my hair. I didn't say you're not human. It's just that you can't speak... If I keep talking to myself in front of you, others will think I'm a fool.

Isn’t it nice to travel like this, meet different people along the way, and have someone to chat with?

Besides, this family is a rare family of kind people. It’s hard to be kind these days, so I’ll help as many as I can.”

Suika reached out to push away the Shanghai doll that was pulling her hair, then lay back on her back and sighed.

Over the next few days, it was unknown why Suika and her group missed the town, causing the other people trying to ambush them to go in the wrong direction.

Until the carriage arrived at the border city, they did not encounter the enemy again.

After entering the city, Tony found the people from Casimir who came to pick him up.

He looked at Suika "Are you coming with us?"

"Forget it, I have something else to do, so let's say goodbye here. If we're lucky, maybe we'll meet again in Casimir."

Suixiang shook her head. After sending these people to a safe place, she prepared to do her own thing.

"Is that so...Okay then..." Seeing that Suixiang didn't continue to go to Casimir with them, everyone looked at them with regret.

It’s just that Tony and his wife feel that Suika is very capable and their safety will be more guaranteed with her around.

Anthony and Winnie felt that it was a rare opportunity to meet a friend as humorous and knowledgeable as Suika, and they felt uncomfortable when they had to say goodbye suddenly.

"By the way, this is the payment we agreed to give to Suixiang for your hard work during the journey."

When Suika was about to leave, Tony put a bank card into Suika's hand.

"I know that compared to you, my money is just a pittance. But this is all I can offer you right now. I hope you don't mind.

When you are free to come to Leithania one day, I will treat you to a meal to repay you for saving my life."

Chapter 220: Which is better looking, a suit or a school uniform?

After receiving the bank card, Suixiang said goodbye to the four people.

She found a place to rest for a while and ate something before she called Alyssa.

Alisa was surprised and delighted when she received Suika's call.

The two agreed that Suixiang would first stay at the Shi Huaiya family's hotel here, and Alyssa would come to see her in the evening.

Following Alisa's guidance, Suika arrived at the hotel. When she looked up, she found it was quite grand.

The key point is that we had been here before with Tony's family and Casimir's people, but the lobby manager said that the hotel was full, so we had to change to another one.

Now I think that some of the space was reserved for Shi Huaiya's own family members. If I had taken out the bank card from Shi Huaiya at that time, I would probably have moved in.

But... with the Chamber of Commerce present and Tony having received a sum of money from them, he simply couldn't bring himself to continue spending his own money.

After entering, the lobby manager came over quickly. He recognized the girl in front of him at a glance. He had seen her not long ago, but because she asked for two luxury suites and there were no extra ones, she left with regret.

"Beautiful lady, how can I help you?"

Suika took out her bank card and handed it to him. "Alyssa asked me to come live here."

Seeing the logo on the bank card in his hand, the lobby manager's pupils shrank and he immediately put on a smile.
