Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"In the afternoon, the messenger girl expressed her wish to visit the Holy Mountain, and it would be great if she could climb it.

I can't make the decision on this matter, she hopes you can give her a reply as soon as possible."

After saying that, Jian led the two of them into the house.

After a while, under the complicated gazes of the other two, she came out carrying the safe weighing nearly one ton.

"Then let's go first!" Mace said to Enthiotis who was thinking.

Enthyotis nodded and watched them leave the room.

He was thinking about why Suika wanted to go to the Holy Mountain of Kjerag. Could it be that the person behind her wanted to unite with Manjuin?

After all, he knew very well the personalities of the elders in Manzhuyuan.

Those guys are power-hungry and unwilling to change.

If the Duke is really behind Suixiang, then you only need to show a little bit of your intention to help him hold on to the power in his hands, and then you will naturally get his support.

But he couldn't reject Suixiang's idea. After all, the envoys from the other two tribes had also heard what she just said.

If word of his refusal reached the ears of the other two clans, especially the Brontao family, they would definitely spare no effort to facilitate this matter in order to befriend this envoy from the outside world.

Therefore, this matter must be done by myself, and it must be done perfectly so as not to leave any room for the other two companies to complain.

Then the solution is simple.

He agreed to Suika's request, but prevented her from having any contact with Manjuin.

As long as the two parties do not have the opportunity to meet, even if the other party has omnipotent abilities, there is no chance for them to reach an agreement.

At this time, Suika, who was shopping in a store in the town, had no idea about Enchiodis's arrangement. If she knew, she would probably laugh out loud, and then express her gratitude to Master Enchiodis. She was just going to climb the mountain and didn't want to get involved in the power struggle of Doshelag at all.

Chapter 298 Climbers

Of course, it would be great if I could have the chance to rub the little cat Enya.

But if there is no opportunity, it won't make her feel bad.

At dinner in the evening, she didn't see Mace and the other people from the Shivaash family. Suixiang guessed that what she said to Bruntao in the morning should have fermented.

The next morning, when she went out, the person who came to pick her up was no longer Jian, but the messenger boy whom she had met twice yesterday.

"Miss Mace apologizes for being unable to accompany Miss Messenger to visit Kjerag due to recent matters. I will temporarily replace her as your tour guide for the next few days and lead you to see the scenery of Kjerag.

The master has already sent a notice to Manzhuyuan regarding your wish to worship the holy mountain.

I believe you will receive a reply soon.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay.”

Weiss was being very humble. She had thought Suika would be angry about the Black Knight's departure, but she showed an expression that said, "As expected, the clothes are like this."

Thinking of the special instructions given to him by Master Enchiodis this morning, he couldn't help but break out in a layer of sweat on his back.

"Of course, no problem, but today I want to climb a small mountain to warm up and prepare for climbing the Holy Mountain later... I wonder if you have any recommendations."

Suika asked.

Weiss didn't expect that the first day would be so troublesome. You know, it's already winter in Kjerag, and the wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger.

Climbing in this kind of weather is very difficult even if you are well prepared.

What's more, he not only had to ensure his own safety but also had to protect the distinguished guest in front of him, which made him feel bitter in his mouth.

But Master Enchiodis said that as long as the other party's request was not excessive, he would try his best to meet it, so he could only consider the feasibility of climbing the mountain.

"If you're going mountain climbing, I suggest you change your gear first, and then I'll hire two professionals. After all, it's snow season now, and without a professional guide, you might get lost in the mountains."

Suika patted his shoulder

"It's not that troublesome. Just tell us the direction and we can go hiking right away."

……

Weiss was troubled by Suika's willfulness, but he was completely unable to resist the other party's strength.

Like a delicate little deer, she was led out of the town by Suixiang.

By the time he reacted, he had already reached the foot of a mountain.

"Let's go with this one. Yesterday I looked around at the surrounding mountains, and this is the only one nearby whose top can't be seen in the snow. Let's climb this one today."

Weiss felt like crying when she heard what Suika said.

Although the mountain that Suika chose is not among the top ten in terms of height among all the peaks in Kjerag, it is still among the top.

Moreover, this mountain itself is unique among the surrounding mountains for its strangeness and danger.

In the summer, he would often climb this mountain to challenge himself when he had free time.

But this winter...

Before he could refuse, he heard Suika say

"Hey, there are still experts!"

Weiss looked over and saw a series of faint footprints in front of him. The direction of the footprints was facing the mountain in front of him, proving that someone had been there before the two of them.

Weiss checked the footprints and saw that a thin layer of ice had accumulated again.

"We probably didn't walk far. Who would be so brave as to go hiking in this weather? Could it be..."

Looking at the small shoe prints, Weiss thought of someone, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

After following the footprints for a while, the two saw climbers who had arrived here before them at the foot of the mountain.

"Ms. Enxia, it's you!" Weiss looked helpless as he looked at the girl in front of him who was checking her mountaineering equipment.

"Huh!" The climber whose name was called jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end. When he saw Weiss behind him, he showed an awkward smile.

"Hahaha, hahaha! Good morning, Brother Weiss. What a great weather today. Have you eaten yet..."

Cuixiang looked up at the sky. Because of the wind and snow, the sunlight could only pass through the thick clouds and bring some light below.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the good weather.

"What are you planning to do on such a snowy day?"

The girl in front of him, Weiss, was naturally very familiar to him. He had seen her figure ten times every time he came here to climb the mountain in the summer.

But he didn't expect that the other party was so brave that he dared to come here in winter to challenge him.

"I just came to see if the climbing equipment was broken..."

"Are you here to climb the mountain too?"

Suika and Enshia spoke at the same time.

"What, mountain climbing?" Enxia looked suspicious when he heard Suika's words.

"Yes, I'm going up the mountain to take a look. I saw your footprints when I came here before, and I thought you had someone with you..."

"Of course, of course... You are the distinguished guest my brother mentioned!

Are you going up the mountain?

I'm telling you, I'm definitely the most professional climber in our family...

Besides, I know every stone and every hole on this mountain very well, I guarantee it won’t happen…”

Enshia's eyes lit up when she heard Suika's words.

"Ahem..." Facing the dancing Enshia, Weiss coughed lightly twice to interrupt her self-introduction.

"That's great. Since you're familiar with this place, didn't Brother Weiss mention that he wanted to invite professional climbers who are familiar with the route to join us? How about we go together?"

Suika seemed not to have heard Enshia and Weiss's interaction or the other's inadvertent revelation of their identities.

"Is it possible?" Enxia was a little incredulous.

"Don't you know how to climb mountains?"

"Of course I will climb mountains whenever I get the chance!"

"Aren't you familiar with this mountain?"

"How is that possible? In the summer, I can climb from the foot of the mountain to the top with my eyes closed!"

"That's fine, he's good at mountaineering and familiar with the route, so he's the perfect guide!

Am I right, Brother Weiss..."

Suika and Enshia looked at Weiss at the same time, making Weiss feel overwhelmed.

I couldn't stop wailing in my heart - I shouldn't have met this messenger lady yesterday. If I hadn't met her, I wouldn't have been arranged to receive her today. If I hadn't received her, I wouldn't have been dragged to the foot of the snow-capped mountains. If I hadn't come to the foot of the snow-capped mountains, I wouldn't have to face such an uncomfortable situation.

"Okay, but we have to agree that climbing in the snow is very dangerous, so you must follow my instructions along the way."

Although he spoke with great vigor, the other party's drooping ears showed that he was not in such a good mood.

"Okay, I promise to be obedient!" Enxia saluted Weiss playfully, and then the three of them packed up each other's climbing equipment and walked towards the mountain.

"Suixiang Suixiang, how come there are no footprints when you walk on the road!"

After walking for a while, Enxia turned around and saw that there were only his and Weiss's footprints on the road, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Chapter 299 Wind Control Beads

After Enshia finished speaking, Weiss subconsciously turned around and looked back the way she came.

Two obvious footprints spread up from the foot of the mountain, but whose footprint is the missing one?

For a moment, in this world of ice and snow, Weiss felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, and the legend about the mountain snow ghost that his grandmother told him when he was a child suddenly reappeared in his mind.

"Wow, you finally found it!" Suika's cold voice sounded beside them. The two of them were like the white cuckoo in the game that was poked by the hand. They all tensed up at once.

"Hey, this spell of mine from Dayan called Treading on Snow Without Leaking is pretty cool, isn't it?"

Just when the two of them were daydreaming and thinking that Suika was going to do them this way and then that way, Suika's look of putting her hands on her hips almost sprained their waists.

"You're not a ghost?" Enxia asked carefully.

"Ah, you actually think I'm a ghost?" Suika said in surprise.

"I told you, Miss Suika is obviously..." Weiss patted his chest, but before he could finish his happy words, Suika interrupted him with her next words.

"How did you find out I'm a ghost? People outside thought I was Etafia." Suika said with an expression that showed she had good eyesight.

……

"So you really are a ghost?" Enxia tried to change her mind.

"It's the real deal. The Oeyama Demon King Ibuki Suika is me." Suika proudly said.

……

There was silence

"Wait, you don't think ghosts are going to eat people, do you?" Suika realized that the two people's faces looked strange.

"Don't ghosts feed on humans?" Enxia asked carefully.

“Prejudice, you are definitely prejudiced.

I am a ghost, the king of the ghost clan, and one of the four kings of the ghost clan. My hobbies are drinking, fighting, making trouble and having fun.

There is no option of cannibalism.

Besides, what good things do people have? There are so many delicious foods in the world, why would they eat this stuff instead? "

Suika floated in front of the two of them, her hands on her hips to show her displeasure.

"Wow...she, she, she's floating..."

Facing the floating Suika, Enshia hid behind Weiss at lightning speed.

Weiss said that she also wanted to hide, but it was impossible for her to sell the young lady out, so she could only suppress her fear and look at Suika.

"Didn't I say I don't eat people? What are you afraid of? Slow down, don't fall down." Suika looked at the two trembling people in silence.

"Can ghosts lie?" Enxia poked out her little head and then retracted it.

“Wrong, wrong, wrong, absolutely wrong.

Only weak ghosts would lie. Strong ghosts, like me, would never bother to lie... Of course, if it's just for fun, that doesn't count."

Suika floated to Enshia's side, picked her up, and stood in the middle of the road.
