Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Enthyotis looked at Weiss, who was feeling a little uneasy not far away, and began to arrange the next task.

Weiss was overwhelmed when she heard that she had to accompany Suika.

Unfortunately, he had no right to refuse and could only nod and agree.

The next day, when Suixiang got up and went downstairs, she saw Weiss chatting with the shopkeeper downstairs with a smile on his face.

He was shocked when he saw Suika coming down, then he apologized and walked over.

"Good morning, Ms. Suika!"

"Good morning, Brother Weiss... You're here to pick me up to meet Enthyodice, right?

It’s still early, why don’t we eat something first.”

Suika glanced around and found several strangers in the room. Their breath became noticeably heavier after seeing her.

I'm afraid it's a spy from another family.

So she deliberately said that she wanted to eat breakfast first, just to leave them enough time.

And what happened next was just as she expected. After seeing Suika sit down and prepare to eat, some of the spies left the house, apparently to call someone or report.

Suixiang noticed that after those people left, Weiss looked at the door and then at the people in the house. Obviously, he also discovered these spies.

But why didn't he do anything?

Suika was a little curious.

But Weiss actually has his own difficulties.

He was just a messenger, and was assigned to keep an eye on Suika thanks to Master Enchiodis's attention.

But he had no manpower at all, and his status was not high enough to call for warriors. Fortunately, Enchiodis knew that he could not control Suika, so he only asked him to follow Suika and record her itinerary.

"Let's go, it's time for us to meet your master!" After eating and drinking, Suixiang stood up and walked towards the door.

Chapter 303: Bright Current Surges

Led by Weiss, the two headed towards the Kalan Trade Headquarters.

But before he took two steps, he saw an acquaintance blocking the middle of the road.

"Miss Messenger, how are you?"

Latatos smiled and nodded to Suika.

"Isn't this the head of the Brontao family? How come you have time to come here today?"

Suixiang waved to the other party openly.

"I came here to look for Enthyodis, and I just happened to run into you.

By the way, let me introduce you to this person.

The head of the Perlochi family, Atatos."

Latatos pointed at a tall and strong bear man who was walking towards them from behind.

Turning around and looking at the sturdy and powerful head of the Perlochi family, who looked like his brain was covered with muscles, Suixiang tilted her head calmly.

"Ursus?"

"That's right, I am from Ursus, but I am just Ursus and have nothing to do with the country of Ursus!" The man's voice was so loud that it hurt Suika's ears.

"Are you sure you have nothing to do with Ursus?"

Suika thought of someone, and her tone sounded a little strange.

Hearing Suika's question, Atatos seemed to recall something, but he quickly and decisively said

"The Perlochi family has lived in Kjerag for countless years. Even though their ancestors may have come from Ursus, they no longer have any connection with Ursus.

Perlochi is now just a Kjerag."

His tone sounded very resolute, but Suika could hear a hint of hesitation in it.

"That's good. When I first left home and walked on this land, I went to Ursus once, but some unpleasant things happened at that time.

So seeing Ursus people will be a little bit...don't mind, don't mind..."

Suika said with a grin.

"I see. I've heard that Ursus is a very formidable country. Fortunately, we have other countries to the north to defend us, so we don't have to border them."

Latatos covered her mouth and continued to transform with a smile.

"Terrible, this word is not wrong to describe Ursus.

After all, the countries on Terra are tending to be stable.

However, Ursus still retains the basic system of military merit.

So those at the bottom have to fight to climb up, and those at the top need to fight even more to consolidate their positions. It's a country full of bellicosity from top to bottom, and naturally it gives people a very terrifying feeling."

Suika's words made the two of them look surprised.

Because of someone's help, Atatos also knew about Ursus and knew that what Suika said was not wrong. Ursus was quite strong both internally and externally. The root of this strength lay in the warlike sentiment among the entire population.

"It seems that Miss Messenger knows a lot about Ursus?

What about Victoria? What does the Courier think of Victoria, and what does Kjerag think of us?"

At this time, Weiss's face turned pale as he listened to the people chatting and laughing. Although the two family heads did not target him, the situation in front of him was obviously not something he could handle.

Fortunately, Suika attracted everyone's attention, otherwise he would have almost lost track of which foot to walk with.

"Victoria?

If I have to give an evaluation, I think "a centipede dies but remains stiff even after being cut into pieces" is the most appropriate.

After all, they had lost the emperor for so many years, and there had been no news of the Steam Knights for a long time. The several grand dukes were wary of each other, and they all wanted to sit in the position above everyone else.

But even so, Victoria is still an unquestionable military power. Even the warlike Ursus cannot gain any benefit from Victoria under such circumstances. This shows how strong its foundation is.

As for Kjerag, I've only been here a few days, haven't been to many places, and haven't met many people, so it's a little early to give an evaluation."

Suika first commented on Victoria, but immediately stopped when she saw Shelagh.

Firstly, as she said herself, she had only been in Kjerag for a short time and didn't know much about the place.

Secondly, it was somewhat impolite to evaluate someone in front of others. Moreover, if she really had to give Kjerag an evaluation, it wouldn't sound very good under the current circumstances. She didn't want to lie about such a thing, so simply not saying anything was the best option.

"Then I hope the messenger will spend more time in Kjerag."

Latatos smiled noncommittally, then talked to Suika about Shelag's various specialties.

Soon they arrived at the gate of Kalan Trading.

Enthyodis stood at the gate like a statue.

"Isn't this the head of Shivaash? It's an honor for you to come and pick us up in person!" Latatos looked at Enchiodis with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"The heads of the Brontao and Perlochi families came to my little place together. It would be rude of me to sit in my office and wait for them to arrive.

Mr. Messenger, long time no see!"

Enthyotis seemed not to have noticed Latatos's teasing, but spoke with a serious face. After he finished speaking, he looked at Suika, and his words were full of business.

"It's only been a day or two, it can't be that long.

But you called me here for something, so was my application approved?"

Suixiang couldn't stand Yinhui's pretentious look, so she spoke rudely.

Although I understand, I just don’t like it.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Latatos' eyes behind them flashed with a hint of peculiar light.

She had thought that Suixiang would have a good relationship with Yinhui, and the spy also said that he saw her and the second lady of the Yinhui family coming back together from outside yesterday.

But the feeling they had when they chatted didn't seem to be the case.

She could clearly feel that Suika was not very satisfied with Enchiodis, which gave her a new idea.

For example, invite this messenger to your place.

From our previous communication, I can tell that Suixiang has quite good insights and vision.

Although she was skeptical about Kjerag's openness, she was not averse to using Kjerag's specialties to make money from outsiders. Otherwise, she would not have entered into business cooperation with the Shivaash family.

Now that she has the opportunity to learn about the outside world through other channels and open up new trade routes, she naturally would not choose to miss it.

“That’s right, Miss Messenger.

Yesterday afternoon, news came from Manzhuyuan that the Great Elder approved your request to climb the mountain.

However, the Holy Mountain of Kalan is where the spirits of our Kjerag reside, so if you want to go up the mountain you must abide by the rules of the holy mountain. You cannot use external forces during the climb, and you can only go up the mountain through the prescribed routes.

I asked you to come here to tell you this. If you are willing to follow the instructions and continue climbing, I will give you the climbing route and you can study it in advance..."

Chapter 304: Warning from Suika

"So troublesome? But the Kalan Snow Mountain is so huge, how do you know if I am following the designated route?"

Suika snatched the route map from Enchiodis's hand with disgust. He didn't even have time to react before his pupils shrank.

"Of course, for your safety, the Saint will be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. She will be your guide for this tour. When you set foot on the snowy mountain, she will lead the way for you throughout the journey."

Enthyotis didn't say anything, but Latatos behind him spoke instead.

Suixiang turned to look at the two people behind her and then looked at Enthyotis. Their expressions were very calm, and it seemed that they had already communicated with each other.

"Wait, Saint, isn't that the Saint I'm thinking of?

I am just an ordinary tourist. Would it be too much for me to ask that person to receive me personally?

And aren't you worried, what if I want to harm her?"

Although Cuixiang said no, she smiled in her heart. She didn't expect that the last cat she came to the snow mountain to see would show up on its own initiative.

She originally thought it would take some effort, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

“The Saint was personally selected by the gods. She has the gods’ protection on the holy mountain, and she also planned the route up the mountain herself.

Without her guidance, no one could go up the mountain safely in this weather.

As for you, a little girl, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to harm the Saint on the Holy Mountain."

Aatrox's words dispelled some of Suika's doubts.

It seems that this matter was not really decided by Enthiotis, but judging from the fact that the other two families were not opposed to this plan, the mutual hostility between Enthiotis and Enya was really deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At least the two families did not think that Enya would favor Shiva Ash in such matters.

"Okay then, but what about the time? Which day should we set it on?" Seeing that all three families said so, Suixiang thought that it was also agreed by Manjuyuan.

"Tomorrow, the Saint will wait for you at the foot of the snow-capped mountains." Enthyotis then answered Suika's question.

Suika nodded

"Does this mean I can move freely today?"

Enchiodis didn't say anything but looked at the other two families.

Latatos didn't speak, but Aatrox beside her spoke up.

"I heard that the messenger lady has already had private conversations with both families. I wonder if my family, the Perlochi family, would have the honor of having a private conversation with them?"

Suika nodded and glanced at Enchiodis, who had a blank expression on his face, as if he were just an NPC. She couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Of course, no problem. I heard the Perlochi family has a lot of good wine, and you're from Ursus. My only regret coming to Kjerag this time is that I didn't drink enough. I hope Brother Atatos can fulfill this little wish of mine."

"Hahaha, of course. The Perlochi family will never give up easily in anything, even drinking!"

Atatos looked heroic.

As for Suixiang, I just want to complain about her. You and your uncle together can't even drink more than your daughter, and you never admit defeat easily. It's so funny.

After leaving Kalan Trade, Suixiang boarded a carriage heading to Perlochi.

In the car, she could feel that compared to Enchiodis's hidden prejudice and Brontao's interests, the man in front of her gave her an even stranger feeling.

It is the respect in the bones and the rejection that is not concealed on the surface.

Suika didn't know the reason for the respect, but the reason for the rejection was very clear. As the core of the conservative party, it would be really strange if he showed curiosity and yearning for the outside world.

As an outsider, Cuixiang came here to take the locals away so that they can learn advanced knowledge from the outside world.
