Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"The person who just came was indeed you, but it wasn't you!" Reimu said like a famous detective, with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Suika.

"Huh?" Ibuki Suika looked at her own Ibuki Hyō, wondering how the other person could be drunk even though he didn't drink any alcohol.

"Don't forget, there's another Suika on the other side!" Reimu whispered to her.

When Ibuki Suika heard Reimu's words, her eyes widened and she was almost completely sober.

"Hiss, you mean she's been here? How dare you!"

"I don't know, but I think someone can confirm it. Wait a minute!" Reimu walked out the door, and the Royal Coin appeared in her hand at some point.

She just tapped the air lightly with the imperial coin.

A few seconds later, a crack opened up, and a certain old man in pajamas and with a sleepy face...a certain girl who was always seventeen years old walked out of the crack.

"Why are you calling me so late at night? I'll be angry if it's not something serious."

Suixiang calmly threw the gold coin to the other party

"Remember, yesterday the money came out of the prize box again? According to past patterns, this should be enough for three draws.

However, we have not found anything unusual in Gensokyo from yesterday to this afternoon.

And just now, Suika and I seemed to have brushed past something unusual."

Yakumo Yukari reached out to take the gold coin and immediately noticed something strange.

She looked around and looked at Reimu.

"You mean she was here?"

Reimu nodded "She left just before we got here."

Yakumo Yukari glanced around, then looked towards the door curtain, stretched out her hand and tapped it lightly, and the calm air was filled with traces like ripples.

"There are indeed traces of space magic, but why did she come to Gensokyo?"

Reimu shook her head. "I don't know. The owner inside said she ate a few skewers of hagfish, drank a bottle of quercetin and took another bottle away."

"Interesting, you went through so much trouble to come to Gensokyo just to eat something?" Yakumo Yukari didn't believe that the other party came here for such a simple reason.

However, until she saw the Ibuki Suika from another world somewhere else, she had no way of knowing what the other person was thinking.

“Okay, I know about this.

I will reinforce the space around Gensokyo later..."

After saying that, Yakumo Yukari turned around and walked into the crack.

"Oh, my gold coins!" Reimu Hakurei beat her chest and stamped her feet after discovering that the gold coins had been taken away. She had originally planned to take this opportunity to steal the gold coins to ease the financial pressure on the shrine, but she didn't expect that they would be taken away by Yakumo Yukari so shamelessly.

"Hehe, you saw it too. I didn't take the gold coins. Every wrong has its perpetrator. If you want the money, go ask that guy yourself!" After saying that, Reimu pulled the reluctant Ibuki Suika away and fled from the Beast Path and returned to the shrine.

Chapter 282: Kjerag, the Land of Snow Mountains

On the other side, Suika, who had returned to Terra, sat on a rock and stretched.

She was still very satisfied with this trip to Gensokyo.

Moreover, when drinking this wine, there is a faint energy rolling in the body, and it feels like it is not an ordinary wine.

But considering that Gensokyo is full of monsters and demons, it is not surprising that the energy contained therein is higher than that in the normal world.

After taking another sip, she lay down on the stone and fell asleep.

The next morning, after being woken up by the sun, Suika yawned and got up and continued walking towards Kjerag.

A few days later, Victoria and Kjerag's entrance.

"Ma'am, Kjerag has entered winter. If you want to travel to the Kjerag Mountains, I suggest you come back in early May next year."

When the visa officer learned that Suika wanted to enter Kjerag, he told her.

"Huh? Isn't it already autumn?"

Suixiang finally understood why so many people who came in line with high hopes ended up leaving disappointed.

The relationship was rejected just when it reached the door.

“Yes, it is indeed autumn now.

However, Kjerag is located on a plateau, so the temperature drops much earlier than in the surrounding areas. Now it has entered the season of full-scale cooling. The mountains will be closed to snow within a week at most, and almost all roads will be buried by the wind and snow.

By then, even the locals of Kjerag would have little intention of going out.

Madam, if you are traveling to Kjerag now, you will be unable to leave for half a year, so I suggest you come in the spring or summer."

The staff member spoke very sincerely and realistically.

Many passengers who heard his words chose to change their itineraries and go to other places.

"I see. I understand. Please give me a visa!" Suika nodded, and then said that she still wanted to go to Kjerag.

"Hmm? Little girl, didn't you hear me clearly..." The man was about to repeat himself.

Suika shook her head. "I know, but I still have to go because I'm not just traveling, I also have work!"

Having said this, Suixiang handed another document that she had not intended to take out to the other party.

"Messenger of Natural Disaster!" After seeing the certificate, the man exclaimed, and the people around him subconsciously took a step away from Suixiang.

Suika wasn't surprised at all by this.

Natural disasters can be said to be the nightmare of all living beings on Terra.

In order to avoid natural disasters, the entire Terra technology tree has forcibly pointed out the completely abnormal black technology of mobile cities.

In the eyes of most ignorant people at the bottom of society, the messengers of natural disasters who chase and predict natural disasters are just death birds.

It seems that wherever they go, there will be natural disasters.

However, they never considered that if it were not for the warning from the messenger of natural disaster, which gave them the opportunity to escape in advance, they would have probably died in the natural disaster long ago.

"Ahem, don't be afraid, everyone.

Our Kjerag is a sacred place protected by Yelagund. Despite the heavy snow and high mountains, it has never experienced a natural disaster in all these years.”

The man looked at Suika unkindly.

"Why are you so excited? Doesn't Kjerag have a rule against Scourge Messengers entering?"

Suika rolled her eyes.

"Not really, but can I ask what job you are talking about?" asked the staff.

"Of course it's a letter! It's addressed to Enthyodis Shivaash. Do you want to open it?"

After hearing the name Suika said, the man's face changed.

“Lord Enchiodis is the head of the Shivaash family. How can ordinary people like us have the right to touch his letters?

Madam, this is your entry permit..."

After Suika left, the man asked someone else to take his place, then went to the nearby pigeon house and stuffed a secret letter into the straps on the pigeon's legs.

After entering Kjerag, Suika did not go up the mountain directly, but stopped in a small town at the foot of the mountain.

After all, we are heading into the snowy mountains. Although we are not afraid of the dangers of the snowy mountains with our own abilities, what if we get lost?

Cuixiang couldn't guarantee whether the ghost would suffer from snow blindness, so some necessary preparations were still needed.

The first thing is a pair of windproof sunglasses, which can effectively prevent people from being affected by snow blindness in the snow.

Then there was Kjerag's map and a compass.

However, as a tourist, the only thing Suika could buy was the tourist map that Kjerag had customized specifically for tourists.

Apart from some residential areas and tourist attractions, large areas are blank.

With this map, an ordinary person would probably just have to follow the route honestly, because in these mountains, the air pressure is low, the temperature is low, and there are mountains everywhere. Once you get lost, death will come as expected.

But for Suika, this kind of map is enough.

Her target this time is the Kalan Trading Headquarters within the territory of the Shivaash family.

She believed that with SilverAsh's personality and style, if he was trapped in a certain area in winter, he would definitely choose the headquarters of Kalan Trading. In this way, even if he was trapped, it would not affect his work.

And from what Suika sees, Kjerag's tourism industry is basically limited to Shivaash Territory. There are only a few small routes to other places, or there are none at all.

But luckily, the Shivaash Territory was not far from the entrance. To be more precise, the first place you would encounter after entering Kjerag from the outside was the Shivaash Territory. This was also the reason why the people of Shivaash were the most open-minded of Kjerag's family.

After estimating the schedule, Suixiang did not set off directly, but found a tavern to warm herself by the fire and drink some wine.

And this just happened to miss a group of people who came to intercept her.

The team waited until the next morning on the only way to enter the Kjerag Mountains but did not find any trace of Suika. They thought that Suika might have entered Kjerag and quickly sneaked into the territory of Shivaash.

Meanwhile, Suixiang, yawning, walked towards the road leading to Kjerag with her small backpack on her back.

As one of the few high-altitude snow-capped mountain areas in Terra, the mountains of Kjerag covered in ice and snow give people a feeling of being so sacred and beautiful.

Suika held the camera all the way without stopping.

Just like a real tourist, I took photos as I walked.

"Ding-ling-ling..." Accompanied by the sound of camel bells, Cuixiang saw an old man sitting on a majestic camel, and behind him were several camels with various objects hanging all over their bodies.

"Little girl, why are you going up the mountain alone at this time? Didn't the people in the town below tell you that it's very dangerous at this time of year?"

The old man sounded a little angry after seeing Suixiang.

"Grandpa, I'm a messenger. I went up the mountain because I had a letter to deliver!"

Although the other person looked very angry, Suika did not feel any malice from him, and his eyes were full of kindness, which reminded her of her grandfather in another world.

Chapter 283: Rest on the way

"Wow, you're such a young kid and already a messenger? That's amazing!"

The old man drove the camel to Cuixiang's side and spoke loudly in an exaggerated tone.

"Hahaha, I think so too!" Suixiang made a smug expression, making the old man laugh so hard that he bent forward and backward.

"But it's going to snow heavily soon. Wherever you want to go, let me give you a ride!" The old man pointed to the camel behind him.

"Thank you very much, sir. I'm going to the Kalan Trade Headquarters in Shivaash Territory. Do you know the location, old man?"

Suika asked with a narrowed eye and a smile on her face.

"Karan trade... that's true. Kjerag people rarely travel outside, and aside from the Shivaash family, few have much contact with the outside world."

The old man's expression changed slightly, and then he sighed.

"Well, Grandpa, you don't seem very happy?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Suika was a little worried that he was conservative.

"Not really. If it weren't for Master Enchiodis, I wouldn't be able to get so many camels and form a camel team.

However, many people do not understand the master's ideas. They believe that too much contact with the outside world will cause the Kjerag people to lose their purity and become as mercenary and treacherous as outsiders.

But without contact with the outside world, how far can Kjerag go…"

When the old man spoke, Suixiang was startled.

I didn't expect that he was actually a reformist.

But it makes sense. Among the three major families in Kjerag and the Manzhu Court, the Perlochi family is an absolute conservative, the Bruntao family is more concerned about its own interests than conservatism or innovation, and the Manzhu Court is even more so. Religion has never been associated with the word openness. They don't think that the Shivaash family is a heretic. They joined forces with other families to directly destroy the Shivaash. This is already the kindness of these religious people.

Only the Shivaash, the family closest to the outside world and who had witnessed the powerful families of the outside world, would spare no effort to pull Shelagh out of his comfort zone that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

After witnessing the mobile city and the mobile battleship, Enthiotis knew that facing the powerful Victoria, Kjerag, who was still using cold weapons to fight, would be like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others, once he lost the protection of Yelagund.

He must have communicated with other families, but when people's vision is always limited to the small piece of land in front of them, unless a powerful external force appears that is strong enough to break their cognition, most people would rather be the frog in the well.

"I think the direction chosen by Master Enthiotis is a good one. Kjerag offers beautiful scenery that cannot be seen outside.

These snow-capped mountains may seem ordinary to you, but for people outside, this is an unprecedented experience, a world wrapped in ice and snow.

I believe that if it is developed, there will be a lot of tourists coming to Kjerag.”

Suixiang pointed at the snow-capped mountains around her with an expression of curiosity and admiration.

Accompanied by the sound of camel bells and cameras taking pictures along the way, the camel team walked slowly forward. Just when it was about to get dark, they arrived at the entrance of a cave.

"Little girl, are you afraid of staying in the cave tonight?" After skillfully driving the camel to the cave entrance and lying down, the old man walked into the cave.

After Suixiang followed him in, she found that there were many different props in the cave, and she even saw a bed at the deepest part.
