Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

After taking a bite, I saw the bear man punching the sky

"Shuang, that's the taste.

More than ten years ago, a group of smugglers smuggled several boxes of wine from Dayan, and those wines were sold at a considerable price in Ursus.

I didn't have the chance to drink a cup of it, but I was fortunate enough to hear its name - Shaodaozi.

Today I had a drink and realized that it really lives up to its reputation."

After drinking, Xiong Ren spoke.

Seeing this, other people in the bar also tried to ask for a drink.

But the boss said that he didn't have any more special signature wines.

And what was Suika doing at this moment? She was curiously tasting the glass of gin in her hand.

That's right, gin is also called golden liquor or gin.

This wine tastes very refreshing when drunk neat.

In the West, this kind of wine is not only drunk neat but also used as a base wine, so the boss also gave Cuixiang a small glass of several suitable wines so that she can mix them freely.

Just as the bar was noisy, the door was pushed open and a blonde girl walked in.

"Uncle Koval, you agreed to help me with my armor this afternoon, why are you drinking again..."

The girl's clear voice caught Suika's attention.

After looking over, the blonde hair made Suixiang feel a little familiar for a moment.

“Oh, little Maria, don’t worry.

It's just a glass of wine. Don't you know my level as your uncle Koval?

This little bit of wine just makes my mind more active."

When the bear man saw the girl, he looked at her lovingly and patted her on the shoulder.

The girl greeted everyone around her one by one, and it was obvious that she was also a "regular" here.

After greeting her, she saw Suika in the crowd.

The girl couldn't help but frown

"Uncle, how can you sell alcohol to a child?"

Hearing her rebuke, the bald boss, who looked ferocious, touched his nose.

“I don’t sell alcohol…”

"Then what's with the wine glass in front of her!" The girl obviously didn't believe the boss's excuse.

Suika looked at the girl

"Sister, please stop scolding the boss. He really didn't sell me any alcohol.

We are a reasonable exchange.”

"Yes, yes, this little sister brought some rare liquor and wanted to share it with us." The boss hurriedly continued what Suika said.

The girl stared at the boss with an expression of "Do you believe me or not?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, try it. I guarantee you won't find another wine like this in all of Cavalerillas."

The reason why Cuixiang was so confident was that there was almost no communication channel between Dayan and this side, and the wine and water could not be transported here at all.

Chapter 235 Maria and Margaret

After all, the two ways to get to Da Yan are through Ursus and through Letania and Victoria across Kazdel.

The relationship between the former and Dayan is already tense, and caravans are rarely seen. Moreover, is there any chance that this kind of wine will be able to get out of Ursus?

As for the latter...even if Leithania and Victoria paid enough tariffs to allow them to pass, not everyone could leave Kazdel in the past few years.

Therefore, it is possible that a small amount of Shaodaozi flowed out before the civil war in Kazdel, but after the civil war, the trade routes were basically cut off, so naturally this specialty of Dayan could no longer be seen here.

"I?

I don’t drink…”

Hearing Suika's words, the girl waved her hands repeatedly.

"That's a pity..." Seeing that the other party didn't want to drink, Suixiang didn't continue to persuade him. Instead, she put away the wine gourd and put it on her waist under the gaze of everyone.

After she put away the wine gourd, a clear sigh was heard in the bar.

"My name is Maria, Maria Lingguang, nice to meet you!" The girl introduced herself.

"Lin Guang, which Lin Guang?" Suixiang said deliberately.

"Well, little girl, if you have heard of Casimir's Linguang family, little Maria is from that Linguang." A knight who looked somewhat old said with a smile.

"Grandpa Fogwald~" the girl said sweetly.

"Okay, okay, you tell me yourself," the old knight smiled and sat back down, but his attention shifted when Suixiang mentioned Rinkou.

"Maria Rinkou...Looking at it now, you do look a lot like Margaret." After taking a look at her, Suixiang spoke and the atmosphere in the bar suddenly quieted down.

"Have you seen my sister? Where is she?" Maria grabbed Suika's hand and asked anxiously after hearing Suika's words.

“Don’t worry, and don’t be anxious.

The strength of the Radiant Knight is top-tier even in Terra, and the dangers of the wilderness are nothing compared to her.

And now she's doing well...

Wait a minute."

Suixiang took out her cell phone. She had met the three apostles before in Rhodes Island and had given them gifts.

The thank you gift was a personal photo with each of them.

Cui Xiangjiang took out the photo of herself and Margaret and handed it to Maria

"This is a photo I took with Knight Yao himself, just two months ago."

Looking at her sister in the photo, Maria's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

Although she looked like she was having fun all day, God knew how much pressure she was under.

Before, her sister was holding the responsibility, but Margaret was expelled from the country because of her identity as an infected person, and the Supervisory Commission continued to suppress the Lin Guang family. Most of the things that could be sold in the house have been sold.

When she didn't know what to do, Suixiang brought news about her sister, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

"It's really Margaret! Where is she now?" The old knight walked behind Maria and wanted to comfort her, but after seeing the person in the photo, he looked at Suika in surprise.

After hearing the old knight's words, many people who knew Margaret came over curiously. After seeing the neatly dressed Margaret in the photo, they all sighed that her temperament was still there and she was still the shining knight.

"Excuse me, where did you meet Margaret?" The old knight put one hand on Margaret's shoulder to gently comfort the girl, while looking at Suika.

Maria came back to her senses from her initial excitement and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"We haven't heard from our sister for a long time. Could you please tell me what you know about her?"

"I've only met Knight Yao once, so we're not very familiar with each other. Logically, I shouldn't reveal her whereabouts.

But since you are her family, of course I can tell you about her."

Suika took out two epaulettes and pinned them on her clothes

“Please introduce yourself first.

My name is Ibuki Suika, and I'm from Dayan Longmen.

A messenger of natural disasters."

Having said this, Suika pointed to one of the shoulder badges. Those who had seen the logo of the Messenger of Disaster nodded to Maria and the others, indicating that Suika was right.

"Of course, I currently have another identity, that of an operator of Rhodes Island... This is the logo of Rhodes Island." Suika said, pointing to the triangle and tower logo below the Scourge Messenger logo.

"And the place where I met Margaret before was Rhodes Island."

"Rhode Island? A technology company in Columbia?" The old knight frowned. In his opinion, this kind of company with a strange name was something that technology companies in Columbia liked to use.

"No, no, no, Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company established less than a year ago, specializing in the research and development of pharmaceuticals to treat and control mineralogy.

Margaret is also a member of this company like me..."

Maria's eyes sparkled when she heard Suika's words.

Others also fell silent.

It was not surprising to them that Margaret would join a company of this type.

After all, it's oripathy. Just look at how hard those infected people have been fighting in the arena to get money to treat their diseases since the Chamber of Commerce allowed infected knights to enter the competition, even though Margaret is a knight of glory.

But in the face of mineralogy, a lot of money is still needed.

For someone like her who has sufficient ability, joining such a company is actually the best choice.

After all, Margaret is very famous and will not be used as a test subject by unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies.

Instead, they will give her serious treatment. After all, as long as her condition is controlled and then spread, the reputation of the Knight of Glory will bring huge profits to this company called Rhodes Island.

"Can I keep a photo of this?" Maria looked at Suika reluctantly.

"Let me take a picture for you!" Suixiang had previously discovered that her Fengshen Polaroid camera could be connected to a mobile phone and then print the photos on it. Although she didn't know how it was done, she had to say that this made her quite satisfied with the products of Kappa Heavy Industries.

"May I?"

“I guarantee it!”

As Suika spoke, she connected the two with a data cable, and soon a brand new photo appeared in Maria's hands.

"Thank you...Grandpa Koval...for today..." After getting the photo, Maria now just wants to go home and tell her aunt and sister the good news.

The bear craftsman waved his hand and said, "Your mind is not on engineering right now. I don't dare to teach you even if you want to learn. Go back and tell Zofia the good news..."

"You just said that many of the people here are retired knights. I guess they are very familiar with the knight competition." After Maria left, Suixiang asked the old knights who stayed here.

Chapter 236 Behind the Business

"Well, little girl, listen to my advice.

Just watch the knight competition, and don't participate in the gambling.

Every year, countless people come to Kavaleraki, spend a lot of money in the casino, and end up losing everything.

Although the knight competition in Kazdel may appear glamorous on the surface, the depths are unfathomable..."

Hearing what Suika said, the old knight looked at her seriously and said.

They had a natural liking for the girl who brought news about Margaret.

"Aha, betting? I don't bet, but I'm a little curious."

Suika replied.

"What are you curious about?"

“Forget about others, you should be able to see the difference in strength between the two contestants.

Apart from the occasional uncertain victory of the weak over the strong, it should be no problem to make a small profit in most games.

but…"

Suika said after pointing at everyone's clothes.

“It’s easy to say, but in reality the participants for each match are not announced until right before the match begins.

Not to mention us, even the contestants don’t know who their opponents are. For example, the guests for tomorrow’s exhibition match will not be announced until the game, and those who enter the competition have no idea who they will face before they step onto the field.

As those bastards from the Trade Union Federation say, 'The unknown is where the game begins', ugh!"

A middle-aged knight who was also lame was cursing at the side.

"Huh? Isn't the exhibition match between Candle Knight and Frost Knight tomorrow?"

Suika took out a letter in confusion. The letter was delivered to the door by the waiter in the morning. Inside the letter was a ticket for tomorrow's exhibition match. It was clearly written on the letter that the two teams in the exhibition match were Candle Knight and a man called Frost Knight.

"How is it possible... Where did you get this letter? Let me see...

Damn, the ticket is genuine, but didn’t the Chamber of Commerce say that they randomly drew the tickets for the Cavaliers game that morning?

Fuck, I shouldn't have believed a word those bastards said."

After taking the letter and ticket from Suika and looking through them carefully, the old knight cursed with a dark look on his face.
