Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"If you're leaving, how about you pack it up for me and I can take it out?"

Suika sensed a panic in the other person and thought she wanted to follow her, so she pointed at her food and spoke.

But she didn't expect that the other party was panicking because she was worried that Suixiang understood what she said and discovered her identity.

"No, my friend has already gone, and it's not our style to let customers leave halfway through their meal."

The woman smiled and sat down in front of Suika.

Soon, Suika finished her food and picked up the tissue beside her to wipe her mouth.

"How do you know I can speak Common Language?" the woman suddenly asked.

"Ah!" Suika was confused, then realized that her conversation with the other party was all in the common language, not Leitanian.

"Accident…

I only know the common language when speaking.

That Beatrix tricked me, saying that if I learned the common language, I could easily travel around Terra.

As a result, I ran into obstacles everywhere when I went out...

When others hear you, they say you don’t understand the local dialect and you must be a spy…

Then people will start to give me trouble..."

Suixiang's complaining look made the other person lose his temper.

Before, she was still wondering which force Suixiang came from, and whether finding her would mean that her office was exposed.

As a result, the other party was completely slow to realize it.

Winnie, feeling a little amused and helpless, cleared the dishes and thought that since no one else was eating, she decided to go see Atla who had fallen ill earlier.

When I walked to the door, I felt a chill on my back because the girl who had eaten there before didn't leave at all.

She was standing at the gate, staring at an inconspicuous sign on the door.

Seeing her gaze, Winnie just said "Oh no".

Because the symbol the other party saw was exactly the organization she belonged to.

As she approached, before she could speak, Suika spoke first.

“Are you from the Tower of Babel?

No, Babel no longer exists... The organization should be called Rhodes Island now, but why are you still using the Babel emblem? "

Winnie was a little shocked when she heard what Suika said.

It has only been half a year since Babel Tower changed its name to Rhodes Island. Many members of the original organization have not yet accepted this change, but a girl who is not familiar with the organization knows about it.

Fortunately, I could tell from her tone that she had no ill will towards the Tower of Babel or Rhodes Island, and she was asking me out of pure curiosity.

"Come with me..." Winnie took Suika's hand and returned to the house.

She looked at Suika again before saying

"Yes, I am indeed from Babel. Although we have changed our name to Rhodes Island, I still like the name Babel. I see that you are not one of us. How did you know this news?"

Suika took out Ibuki Hyo and took a sip of the wine, then said

“I was in Kazdel when Theresa died…”

As soon as she said this, she felt the other person's eyes gradually become dangerous, and she immediately realized that her words could easily be misunderstood.

“Don’t get excited, I wasn’t an eyewitness to the incident, but I was a guest in the valley at the time.

I heard with my own ears the lamentations sung by the banshees for the Demon King.

As for the name change of the Tower of Babel, although it is not a big deal, it is not small either. As long as you are willing to find out, you basically know the news.

The reason for this choice is probably to prevent the Sarkaz from continuing to hunt you down after His Highness leaves..."

Winnie was surprised by Suika's words, but she still couldn't believe it.

"You said you were in the valley, the legendary Banshee Valley?"

“I stumbled in by accident, and those banshees were very kind. They sent me out after realizing that I didn’t mean to intrude.

That’s when it happened…”

Suika didn't lie. Even if she passed the news back to Rhodes Island, Li Gousheng would get the same answer when he asked her mother or sisters.

“Babel Tower is at least related to the Demon King of the Sarkaz. Although not many people know him, there are still quite a few.

I suggest you change the logo.

Otherwise, if you are discovered by someone with ulterior motives, you may be in great danger.

After all, an organization under the Sarkaz Demon Lord and an ordinary medical institution, even if they are the same group of people, will appear very different to others."

After thinking about it, Suixiang reminded her.

After all, she doesn't look like someone who is good at fighting. Instead of keeping this dangerous mark in memory of Theresa, it would be better to change it to a new one. At least it will be much safer for her.

After hearing Suika's advice, Winnie was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was being too prejudiced.

"Thank you for your reminder. I will change it when I get back."

Winnie thought about it and realized that what Suika said was indeed right.

Without Theresa, Rhodes Island looked to the outside world as just an ordinary medical institution for the infected.

Although the infected are also a sensitive topic, it is better than the organization under the former Sarkaz Demon Lord.

"By the way, if you can contact Rhodes Island, ask them to pay attention to Ursus. There's an infected resistance organization called the Reunion Movement there. I think we could collaborate.

Remember it’s the Reunion Movement, not the New Reunion Movement…”

Chapter 98 We Unite

Suika, who was about to leave, thought that Rhodes Island's current situation was in line with the Reunion Movement, so the two sides might as well unite.

As one side is an organization that speaks for infected people and seeks to make their lives better, and the other side is an organization that aims to help and treat infected people, the two sides should be moving in the same direction.

It should have been that the sum of their strength would be greater than theirs, but due to Black Snake's conspiracy, the two families ended up fighting each other to the death.

Now that Black Snake is gone, it will be difficult for the Integration Movement to go back to the old path it remembers, so it is entirely possible for the two sides to unite in advance.

As for the so-called New Integration Movement, although I didn't encounter it on the way south, judging from its nature, it is 99% likely the work of Black Snake.

After all, what He originally needed was just an organization of infected mobs that would obey his orders and contribute to his conspiracy.

As for whether the leader is Tallulah or someone else, it actually makes no difference to Him.

The reason for choosing Tallulah is simply because she was chosen. Moreover, it is more satisfying to drag a person with a strong and noble heart into the quagmire than to easily pollute an ordinary person.

Suixiang is certain that there will be a battle between the Integration Movement and the New Integration Movement in the next two years.

This is a battle of beliefs, and there is absolutely no way to avoid it.

Therefore, if the Reunion Movement could establish contact with Rhodes Island and have Rhodes Island send more experts to help before the war, the chances of success would undoubtedly be greatly increased.

After all, as far as she knew, Ursus was not a monolithic entity.

At least the problems between the young emperor and the old nobles were very acute.

As long as the Integration Movement can demonstrate sufficient strength and help the young emperor to divert the energy of some of the old nobles, then perhaps under the thinking that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the Integration Movement can still gain the support of the young emperor.

Winnie carefully wrote down Suika's words

"I will report this to our ship. Could you please tell me your name?"

"Of course, my name is Ibuki Suika, and I come from Dayan Longmen. My current purpose is to deliver two letters to Victoria." When saying this, Suika showed the letter in her pocket.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'll be leaving now. See you later!" After standing up, Suika waved to Winnie, and then left the house as she watched him leave.

A week later, Suika's news was delivered to the Rhodes Island main ship.

Because it involves Banshee Valley, Kal'tsit rarely takes it seriously.

"Logos, what do you think about this?"

"It shouldn't be fake. Although the Banshee Valley is very hidden from the outside world, it is not without traces and there is no entrance. The possibility of accidental entry is not small.

The only question is, if she really appeared there at that time as she said, why did it take more than half a year for her to reach the location of Shanjin Town?

Even if we were to walk this distance, a month would be more than enough." Logos expressed his opinion cautiously.

"Could it be related to the Ursus Integration Movement mentioned above?

If she did not go west after leaving Banshee Valley but went north into Ursus and stayed there until spring, then it would not be surprising for her to appear in Goldshire at this time."

Outcast pointed at the territory of Ursus on the map and said.

After listening to her introduction, others nodded in agreement.

"Well, we need someone to contact this Ursus Integration Movement and the new Integration Movement she mentioned. Is there anyone willing to..." Kal'tsit looked at Ursus. Although she did not want to participate in the infected resistance plan in other countries, Rhodes Island was undoubtedly vulnerable at the moment.

If there were like-minded people working together at this time, it would undoubtedly be a boost to Rhodes Island.

"I'll go!" Logos said.

Kel'tsit looked at Logos's cold face. The heir of the Banshee Court showed a rare hint of interest in her eyes. She didn't intend to refuse.

"Then it's Logos. However, the internal relationships in Ursus are complicated, so you must be careful."

"I understand. I'll go prepare it then!" After saying that, Logos turned around and left the conference room.

"Tell Victoria's people to pay attention to this female courier, who is between twelve and fourteen years old and is suspected to be Caprini." Kal'tsit looked up at Outcast.

"You think there's something wrong with her?" Outcast asked

“Ibuki Suika is from the East Country, but she calls herself a person from Da Yan.

He claimed to have appeared in Banshee Valley when His Highness was in trouble, then went to Ursus, and then appeared in Leitania, with the goal of going to Victoria...

Don't you think this piece of information touches on too many areas?" Kelsey said calmly.

"Indeed, what you said is very interesting. A female messenger who looks to be in her teens, walking alone in the dangerous wilderness, involving several countries.

Do you suspect she's a spy?

But if she's a spy, her identity is too complicated and would raise suspicions!"

Outcast thought about it for a while before expressing his opinion.

"No matter what their intentions are towards us, there's no harm in checking it out," Kal'tsit replied.

"That's right, after all, Victoria...that Tracy...

I'll make the arrangements." Outcast said and walked out of the meeting room.

On the other side, Suika didn't know about her own situation and her first contact with Rhodes Island aroused Kal'tsit's suspicion.

After leaving Goldshire, she continued westward.

With the guidance of the map, she easily avoided those small villages and large mobile cities, and only occasionally entered various towns for supplies.

The reason for avoiding the first two is that small villages are like the ones we encountered before, with only the same people coming and going. If a stranger goes in, it will arouse vigilance and suspicion.

There are inspections at the entrances to large cities. As an illegal resident with no proof of identity, it is extremely difficult to enter a large city through formal channels.

Even if you turn into mist and sneak into the city, it is still very troublesome to buy things in large cities because you have to go to many places.

It is better to go to small and medium-sized towns, where there is no inspection when entering and leaving, and although small, they have everything you need and you can buy whatever you want easily.

A few days later, she arrived at the border between Leithania and Victoria.

Although there seemed to be nothing blocking the border, Suixiang discovered that there were several witchcraft detection devices on both sides of this seemingly flat ground.

Chapter 99: Londinium, the Industrial City

If you just walk over there carelessly, you will definitely be detected by the magical devices on both sides.

Suixiang looked at the map in her hand. The area opposite Leithania and Victoria's side belonged to the territory of the Duke of Windermere.

This is actually normal. A large part of the border between Victoria and Letania is within Windermere's sphere of influence.

The Duke of Windermere, as the Grand Duke of Victoria, is also the one who has the most friction with Leithnia.

Suixiang is not worried at all about these magical devices that can easily detect people crossing the border around her.

Because the detection range of these devices is near the ground.
