Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey
Page 167
The reason why Perlochi got involved in this situation was simply to make things difficult for Enthiodis.
After all, the competition for the quota this time is not big, but it is not small either.
Especially after learning about the price Enchiodis paid for this spot, he had to fight for it.
Originally, according to him, he just wanted to send out two unimportant characters to take up the position.
It was just to disgust Enthyodis on purpose and tell him that the place he cherished was thrown away by him.
But he didn't expect that Suika would prioritize achieving results, which disrupted his original plan.
After all, with age requirements, anyone randomly selected may not even meet the passing requirements.
The three companies did make an agreement during the meeting. Each company had a certain number of spots. For example, in Shiva and Ash, only the top four from their own team would be selected. The rest would choose to forfeit and give up their spots even if they passed and had higher scores than those from other companies.
But the minimum requirement is to pass. After all, the messenger said that if you fail, she will not recognize it even if you get a place.
So he had to make a choice, either give up the place or send out a smart enough child in his territory.
Neither of these two conditions is easy for the Perlochi family to accept.
That's why he invited Suika here, just to get some information from her.
"Ms. Suika, honestly, Kjerag has its own direction of development.
I've always felt that copying others' paths might not be suitable for us, Kjerag.
After all, the outside world is not like here, with snow-capped mountains everywhere, and it is also protected by Yelagund."
In the carriage, Actor looked at Suika and spoke.
"Of course, Kjerag's development is ultimately carried out by the Kjerag people. I've never considered interfering with its development."
Suika raised an eyebrow.
"Then why did Miss Messenger come..."
"First of all, I didn't come here on my own accord. It was because of the application that the head of Shivaash made to the school. I happened to be there at the time, and I happened to have a good relationship with the dean. I also happened to be a messenger, so I accepted her request and came to Kjerag.
Secondly, I can hear what Mr. Actor means. You don't want Kjerag to be too involved with the outside world, nor do you want Kjerag to be influenced by the outside world.
But with all due respect, why do you think Kjerag stands tall on this earth?
I heard that the Perlochi family is the family in charge of Kjerag's armed forces and is responsible for protecting Kjerag's safety.
But with all due respect, judging from the weapons and equipment I've seen of yours... Victoria doesn't even need a single division to completely annihilate you.
Of course, you can also say that with Yelagund's protection, outsiders cannot get in.
But there are only a few ways out of the mountains for Kjerag, and the most important import and export routes are all in Victoria.
As long as the enemy blocks all traffic routes, Kjerag will be trapped.
Victoria doesn't even need to initiate an offensive. Simply by blocking Kjerag's connection to the outside world, at the current rate of development outside, in just a hundred or ten years, Kjerag will completely and utterly lag behind the Terran nations."
Chapter 305: Friends are coming and there is good wine
“And Yelagund?
The most she could do was protect the Kjerag people, allowing them to survive even if they had to eat raw meat and drink blood, living as savages. But by then, Kjerag would become a zoo for the Terran nations.
Your descendants will become monkeys in an exhibition hall called Kjerag, for people from other countries to admire.
When the Kjerag fall too far behind the rest of the world, people outside will no longer consider the Kjerag people human, but simply animals that resemble humans and need to be protected."
Suika's words made Aatrox's eyes widen in anger.
But before he could open his mouth, a terrifying force fixed him firmly in place, but there was no movement outside, as if no one was aware of what was happening inside.
He was surprised as to why this happened, and Suika shook her head. The other party didn't even notice that there was a layer of faint mist in the carriage at this moment.
The fog surrounding him was the culprit that kept him in place.
"Angry, what are you angry about me?
If that's the case, then isn't it your own fault?"
Suika looked at him coldly, and only snapped her fingers lightly after Aatrox gradually calmed down from his flushed body. The next second, Aatrox felt his body was back under his control, and he couldn't help but look at Suika in fear.
At this moment, he remembered what Latatos said yesterday. She said that no matter whether what the messenger said was true or false, and who was standing behind her, she would not be a weak person if she was arranged to come here alone.
When they met today, he had been too arrogant because she was too young. Now thinking about the times when he was about to speak but was stopped by Latatos, he couldn't help but feel grateful to the one from the Brontao family. If it weren't for her, he didn't completely fall out with this person, I'm afraid this matter would have been really troublesome.
Seeing the drooping face in front of her, Suika stretched lazily.
"Now you know you're scared, is that interesting?
To be honest, I don't care about any of this shit you Kjerag have, and I don't want to get involved.
It's just this small piece of land, and only people like you are curious about it.
Do you know why Victoria didn't call up?
The wind and snow are one factor, and the second factor is that the land is too barren. Not only will you not get much benefit from conquering it, but you will have to pay a lot of money to subsidize it.
Others are not fools. This thankless task must have been evaluated many times.
Otherwise, do you really think that you warriors with axes can stand up to Victoria's elite troops?"
Suika snorted coldly. If Terra was to pick a country that was the smallest to fight against, it would definitely be Kjerag.
Even when Agor informed all the countries on the continent, Kjerag was not among them.
It can be seen that the Terran nations did not really regard Shelag as a proper sovereign state. At most, it was an independent autonomous region like Xiosta.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Just as Suika sprayed Atatos's head with blood, someone knocked on the carriage door.
"Master, we're here!"
After opening the door, Suika jumped down first. After Suika left, Atatos finally relaxed and looked like he was about to be broken.
After not seeing Atatos for a while, the man looked out and saw Atatos's embarrassed look and could not help but quickly jumped onto the carriage.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Is it that guy..."
As he said this, he picked up the scimitar at his waist and was about to rush out.
Seeing his action, Atatos was so frightened that he suddenly came to his senses. He jumped up, put his arms around the other's shoulders, and stretched out his hand to grab his collar tightly.
"Guluo, calm down, I'm fine..."
"What are you two doing in there? Huh..."
Suika peeked in and saw two big men hugging each other. She looked disgusted and then retracted her head.
A few seconds later, Atatos came out with the help of Guro.
"It's too hot inside. I'm wearing too many clothes. I have heat stroke..."
His words made everyone around him frown.
As long as you can make up a better reason, the people below will force themselves to believe it even if they don't want to.
But look at the wind, the snow, and the temperature outside now.
And then you told me you got heatstroke from sitting in the carriage?
Is this true?
Is this a human being?
Atatos' face turned red when he realized that he had made a mistake.
"Ahem, didn't we agree to invite the messenger to drink?
What are you all doing standing at the door?
Gu Luo, take everyone to the wine cellar to move the wine. We won’t return until we’re drunk today!”
Fortunately, Atatos thought of a clever idea in a hurry. When everyone heard about drinking, they forgot about his slip of the tongue and ran happily to get the wine.
Soon, drinks were continuously brought into the living room.
Atatos looked at Suika
"Miss Messenger, although our place is small, the wine here is no worse than that of Shiva Ash's. Moreover, compared to their soft and fluffy Spring, our wine is stronger and more powerful.
How do you think we should drink it?"
Suika opened a barrel and smelled it. It was indeed strong liquor, and it was a standard Ursus-style strong liquor.
"Not bad, not bad. Since it's good wine, I won't bully you. You can drink as much as I drink. Do you dare to follow me?"
Hearing what Suika said, the people below started to make a noise.
After all, they definitely couldn't tolerate a little girl being so arrogant.
"Okay, then the messenger lady will drink as much as we all drink, come on!
Oh, Guro, tell the kitchen to serve the food quickly, so that the messenger can at least have a bite before she gets drunk..."
After hearing this, Gu Luo nodded, ignored the bustling crowd, and turned to walk towards the kitchen at the back.
Ten minutes later, when he came to the living room with the kitchen staff and a lot of food, he saw a scene that stunned him.
The crowd that was shouting before fell to the ground unconscious. Suixiang was standing on the table, holding Atatos' collar with one hand and pouring wine into his mouth with a wine gourd in the other hand.
"Damn it, we agreed that you'd drink as much as I drink, you're just feeding the fish... Open your mouth wider!"
Hearing Suika's curse words, Guluo felt dizzy.
After he rescued Atatos from Suika, he saw the head of the family rolling his eyes and couldn't help but shout
"Doctor, call the doctor quickly!"
Just after shouting two words, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned around and saw Suika walking towards him with a half-full wine gourd in her hand.
"Your master can't drink half of this wine anymore. As a subordinate, shouldn't you share his worries?
Come on, open your mouth..."
When the people outside called the doctor and opened the door, they saw Suika sitting alone at the table, drinking with a spoonful of wine.
The scattered "corpses" on the ground were her achievements in this banquet.
Chapter 306: Cheating After Losing
It was already night when Atatos woke up.
The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask where the messenger was.
The doctor beside her told her that the messenger had left and left a letter for him.
Atatos took the envelope, which was addressed to Atatos, the head of the Perlochi family.
When Atatos smelled the alcohol on the letter, his face changed several times, and he vaguely remembered that Suika had pinched his nose and poured alcohol into his mouth.
The smell of alcohol at this moment made him feel uncomfortable all over.
After taking several deep breaths to calm himself down, he tremblingly opened the envelope.
[Mr. Atatos: It is very important to know your own strength when you go out.
As for you, you can only drink about five pounds of alcohol. You should be careful at future drinking parties and drink within your means...]
After reading the entire letter, Atatos's face turned redder than before and when he was drunk, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
Not only could he, a seven-foot-tall man, not only could he not drink more than a little girl, but he was also clearly criticized for his drinking capacity.
He turned to look at the doctor
"How much did the messenger lady drink before she got drunk?"
The doctor shook his head
"You don't know?" Atatos frowned.
"No, I mean she wasn't drunk. She got everyone standing drunk that afternoon and was taken back to town by the groom. She should be here by now..."
The doctor standing by also saw clearly what was written on the letter and understood what Atatos meant by asking this question. He intended to get back at her later, but accepting it might disappoint him. She remained quite sober until the messenger left.
"Impossible..." Atatos was stunned.
After all, Suika drank first and he drank later. Before he was completely drunk and unconscious, he could confirm that the other party had definitely drunk more than him.
But she was able to return to town at night when I was drunk. Could it be that I was not only inferior to her in fighting ability, but I couldn't even win in drinking?
