Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

The spies' first reaction was that they had been deceived, so they turned back and studied the traces again and again, but there was indeed only this one path and it disappeared halfway.

They had no choice but to fly forward, hoping to find fresh footprints.

However, after exploring for several kilometers, we didn't find any traces at all, so we had no choice but to return in disappointment.

After traveling dozens of kilometers, Cuixiang finally arrived at a small mountain village.

Originally, she had not planned to enter a place with people before arriving in Victoria, but she found that the box of seasoning in her bag had fallen somewhere.

If there is no food, you can hunt in the wild, but you can drink Ibuki Hyoro's wine.

But without seasoning…she couldn't imagine how to eat it.

So she could only go into the village to buy some.

As an ordinary person with no signs of infection on her body, she thought she should be able to buy things, but when the villagers found out that she couldn't speak Leithanian, they showed a wary expression and rejected her request to buy spices.

Suika was also helpless about this.

After all, the time from her appearance in Longmen to her expulsion was too short, so learning the writing systems of various countries, as well as the common language and the spoken Victorian and Colombian languages was already considered a natural talent.

Combined with the Ursus language she learned from Alina in Ursus, she can be considered a little genius who is proficient in languages.

But even though people on the common language side could understand me, my inability to speak Leithian still aroused vigilance and rejection.

After searching several houses without success and sensing the atmosphere becoming tense, Suika had no choice but to leave the village and look elsewhere.

Not far from the village, a white-haired Caprini boy stopped her with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to buy spices?" the boy asked Suika in Common Language.

Suika looked at him. He was dressed in rags, but his clothes were clean.

Suika nodded and replied in Common, "That's right, but I didn't expect the villagers to refuse me just because I don't understand Leitanian."

"This is normal, because foreign spies have come to our country before and caused several serious riots, so when we meet foreigners who don't speak the same language, everyone will be more cautious.

So please don’t blame anyone for this.”

The boy told Suika why he was rejected.

Suika nodded. "I understand. After all, if I ended up helping a spy because of my own faults, I would be scared and sad too."

Chapter 94: Flower of Evil

"What about you? Aren't you worried that I'm a foreign spy?"

Suika recognized the boy in front of her, although he looked more childish than she remembered.

But considering that the person in her memory was at least five years older than he is now, it was normal that she didn't recognize him at first sight.

"I don't have anything here that you can cheat, and I don't think you are a bad person." The boy smiled so brightly that Suika felt that the shadows were a little lighter under the spring sunshine.

Suika looked at him deliberately and said

“Indeed, I just wanted to buy some seasoning, but the people here are so stingy.

It would be great if you could sell me some.”

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment

"Is it okay if I only have salt?"

Suika had already expected his answer. After all, this man had always lived in poverty, and having salt was already very good.

"Can you buy seasonings on the street?" Suika thought for a moment and asked.

"Buy it... It seems possible, but I don't have money." After hearing what Suika said, the boy realized that there was such an option as buying.

"Yes, I have them. Here are these ducats for you. Please buy some seasonings for me. I'll wait for you here." Suixiang took out a handful of ducats from her arms. These were specially exchanged for her by Shi Huaiya when she left Longmen. Although it wasn't much, it was enough if she just wanted to buy seasonings.

"So much!" The boy was a little surprised when he saw the Ducat stuffed into his arms. He didn't expect that the girl was so rich.

"How about using half of this money to buy seasoning for me and the remaining half as your travel expenses?" Suika asked with a smile.

"No, it's too much." The boy shook his head. He really wanted to get some money from the girl in front of him to buy a pair of shoes for his grandfather, but the girl gave him too much money and scared him instead.

“It might seem like a lot of money to you.

But for me, if there is no seasoning, I can’t eat. If I can’t eat, I will be hungry. If I am hungry, I will have no strength. If I have no strength, I may die somewhere in the wilderness due to an accident.

So the seasoning can save lives, and it's worth the money I spent on buying my life."

Suixiang's logical output made the boy's eyes circle.

"Hurry up, it's almost noon, and I'm still waiting for the seasoning to eat!"

Suika patted the other person's shoulder, then pointed to the big tree next to her and said, "I'll wait for you here!"

The boy took two steps and then looked back.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?"

"I believe in my judgment. Someone with a smile as bright as the sun can't have such a dark heart." Suixiang pointed to her eyes.

Hearing her words, the boy's face turned red. It was the first time he was praised like this by a member of the opposite sex. He felt a little embarrassed and ashamed of himself for trying to take advantage of the other person to get money.

"I'll be back soon!" said the boy and ran into the village without looking back.

After standing on the tree and watching the other party enter the village, Suika touched her chin and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

"He's an infected person, and he's carrying so much money... Tsk, I feel like I meant well but ended up doing something bad."

Thinking of this, she jumped off the big tree, then leaped lightly, and floated over like a ghost.

When she arrived at the village, she saw the boy walking into a shop with the money.

"Damn infected person, who let you in?"

Standing far outside, Suixiang could hear the angry curses coming from inside.

"I, I just want to buy some salt... I'll pay..."

The boy's somewhat weak voice came.

"Money, where did you, an infected person, get the money? Did you steal it?

Everyone, check to see if you have lost any money!"

The rude male voice came again.

"Oh, my money seems to be gone. Damn infected person, it turns out you stole my money..." At this time, a sarcastic female voice came over.

"No, no, this is not yours...ah!" The boy mustered up the courage to deny it, and then was kicked out.

Looking at the boy who rolled on the ground several times before stopping, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, Suixiang rubbed her eyebrows.

It's really like the good ones don't work but the bad ones do...

At this time, the people in the house also came out. She recognized that one of them was the boss who had refused to sell her things before, and behind him, a woman as heavy as a pig-like beast popped out like a meatball.

She pointed at the boy who was trying to hold on to the pain and get up to catch the falling dukats. "Damn thief! Don't give up!"

Hearing her words, the boss hit the boy on the head with a long stick. If he hit him hard, the boy would probably die.

"Ding-ling-ling..." At this moment, the crisp sound of iron chains was heard, and the sudden chain separated the long sticks.

"who!"

The boss looked around in confusion, but no one answered. However, his roar alarmed the other villagers, and they all turned their heads to look over.

Seeing the villagers coming around, he regained his courage, turned back into the house, took out a long knife and chopped at the boy.

"Damn infected people, they actually used evil witchcraft, die!"

Facing the opponent's attack, Suixiang could no longer control the anger in her eyes.

"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you crash into it!"

The next second, she appeared in the direction of the long sword, and her delicate hands grabbed the blade of the long sword that was chopped down.

She thought she was used to the evil in people's hearts, but the faces and attitudes of the two people in front of her still made her furious.

"I will only teach you once next time, watch carefully!" Cuixiang shook her hand, and the iron chain on her wrist flew out like a snake, whipping towards the other man's knife-holding hand. The man was so scared that he quickly gave up the long sword and retracted it.

The long knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but no one paid attention to it.

Because the three chains on Suixiang's body were like three conscious long snakes surrounding the two people opposite.

"Magic... Warlock..." Anyone who is not a fool can see that this chain is extraordinary.

The people of Leithnia, who grew up listening to the mysterious legends of the Tower Warlock, were terrified and at a loss as to what to do.

As Suika pulled her hand back, the chain entangled the two of them and pulled them towards Suika's direction.

Suika turned to look at the boy

"Take the money and get out of here.

What happens next is not something a child like you can witness!"

Frightened by Suika's gaze, the boy stumbled out of the village with the money in his pocket.

After he left, Suixiang looked around. There were quite a few people watching the show, wanting to see how the boss would kill an infected person, but after she appeared, these people ran away without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

Chapter 95: Let’s just eat a sheep’s head

At this moment, Suika felt as if she had empathized with Tallulah just before she turned evil.

If the world is like this, it would be better to burn it all down.

She looked up at the two people who were chained together, their faces turned the color of pig liver, and they were frightened to the point of shitting and pissing, and they kept begging for mercy.

"What did you do earlier?

Just for this little money, you actually want to kill an innocent person, then you better be prepared to be killed."

After saying that, Suixiang hooked her hand, and the two people tied with chains came to a distance in front of her.

She took the Ibuki gourd from her waist, took a sip of wine, and then bent down to pick up the long knife that the grocery store owner had just used.

Seeing her actions, their expressions became even more horrified.

But he was entangled in the chains and couldn't move at all.

Cuixiang blew a breath of wine lightly, and the wine turned into flames in the air and wrapped around the long sword.

Then she raised her knife and slashed, and the two heads fell off.

Glancing around, she could feel many eyes in the nearby houses staring at her, but they were too intimidated by her power to dare come out.

"A bunch of bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong!"

With a cold snort, Suixiang then walked into the grocery store.

Looking at the dazzling array of items, she opened her backpack and started happily shopping for free.

After filling her backpack with various seasonings, Suixiang turned around and walked out of the village. After more than half an hour, after confirming that the murderous demon had gone far away, the villagers dared to come out one by one.

Looking at the two bodies on the ground and the blood all over the square, these people patted their chests with lingering fear and said that it was a good thing that they were far away.

As for the sheriff who came to see the situation and heard that the person who attacked was a suspected sorcerer, he did not dare to deal with it lightly and could only report it.

When the local lord received the news, he said that they were just two civilians and that if they died, they died. Since he knew that the other party might be a sorcerer, should he go and cause trouble for a sorcerer for two insignificant and inferior people?

Because of the lord's decision, the matter was left unresolved without even causing any ripples.

In this regard, the families of the dead dared not speak out. After all, the lord had made the decision and they could only obey it. Otherwise, if they angered the lord, they would probably be thrown into the black mine to do hard labor.

The boy on the other side returned home in a daze and fell into a coma.

When his grandfather came back and saw the seriously injured boy and the money in his arms, he was surprised, because he knew the boy's character and knew that he would never cheat or defraud the money.

But his injuries made him feel troubled.

He put the money away, then carried the boy on his back for a long distance to a gathering place for infected people and found a doctor. After paying the money, the boy's injuries were finally cured.

The boy was very depressed when he learned that his grandfather had spent all the money to treat him.

Grandpa also learned from him the origin of the money and couldn't help but sigh

"Bai Ke, you know you're infected, so how dare you go to the village alone? You know they won't take any responsibility even if they beat you to death.

Remember not to do this kind of thing in the future."

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I just wanted to help that sister and earn some money to buy you a new pair of shoes...

I promise I won’t do that again.”
