Enciodes's Little Schemes / Three Consecutive Reward Draws

"That's right? How come you know someone there?" Suika asked casually.

"I don't know anyone there, but since you're going, I happen to have something to ask you, which happens to be related to your profession," Elisa said with a smile.

"My profession... you need me to deliver messages?" Suika was taken aback at first, then remembered that she was Catastrophe Messenger.

Elisa clapped.

"Yes, I do have a few letters here that I need you to deliver to Kjerag..."

Elisa then explained the reason.

It turns out that the college recruited a new batch of students from nearby regions and countries in order to attract fresh blood.

Because the school is located near the Royal Academy of Sciences, it is very attractive to many remote and technologically underdeveloped areas.

Like Kjerag, after hearing about the recruitment information, he contacted the authorities hoping to secure a number of places.

At the same time, Karlan Trade in Kjerag also sent a letter hoping to invest in several school buildings to purchase a few student places.

This troubled her somewhat.

The main reason is that, according to Victoria law and the agreement with the Duke Kestrel, each country, except for Victoria, cannot admit more than ten students individually each year.

Logically, since the Kjerag government requested these spots, most of them should have been allocated to the government.

However, the school is currently facing a shortage of funds, and the "sponsorship" from Karlan Trade is something the school urgently needs.

After careful consideration, they decided to allocate six places to the Kjerag government and four to the Karlan Trade, for a total of ten places.

This time, Suika brought along the two letters destined for the Karlan Trade and the official Kjerag government, along with a set of exam questions that the school had hastily put together for admissions.

Elisa also said that she would act as a proctor, not only for the good of the school but also for the good of the students.

After all, if she couldn't even pass this test, which she considered to be the most basic one, then coming to school wouldn't be of any use.

Because their foundation is not solid, and universities basically don't teach the basics, they won't be able to keep up with the studies even if they come, which is just a waste of money and places.

As a pragmatist Elisa hoped that the first batch of students she would welcome after becoming the principal would not be those who were just there to get a degree, so she kept the matter to herself until Suika returned, knowing that she was going to Kjerag.

Only then did they entrust her to go.

"You really know how to cause me trouble!" After listening to Elisa's account, Suika leaned back on the sofa with a smile.

After hearing what SilverAsh had done, Suika was a bit confused. Elisa didn't know, but he did.

Currently, the external affairs of Kjerag are basically handled entirely by the SilverAsh.

It's likely that he orchestrated this plan, which involved receiving information from both the official channels and the Karlan Trade simultaneously.

As for why this happened, it's likely that the other party wasn't sure what the principal of this newly opened school backed by the Royal Academy of Sciences was like, and was worried that she might withhold some places. So they tried to get students through both sides.

Chapter 272 Enciodes's Little Thoughts

Moreover, this approach perfectly matches the Silverash style.

Despite being a staunch reformer in Kjerag, he was adept at being thorough and meticulous in his work, always leaving himself many backup plans.

Suika felt there was no problem with delivering the letter; she felt something would be missing if she didn't visit Silverash's family in Kjerag.

I didn't see Cliffheart when I was on Rhodes Island, and I don't know if she has become Infected.

If she hadn't become Infected, should I have reminded her?... That's obvious, of course I should have reminded her.

Although she is the link between Rhodes Island and Silverash's Ash, it is because of her that Rhodes Island has the opportunity to get involved in Kjerag's affairs.

However, if it were to ensure the smooth progress of the plot and watch someone become Infected right in front of her, even if the current Rhodes Island antidote is very effective, it would only make Cliffheart's problem simpler, but that is not something Suika would allow in her heart.

Suika never believed in anything unchanging. She came into this world to make it a better place and to allow those who shouldn't have died to escape the misfortune of the plot and live a good life.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have joined the Reunion Movement. As for Sasha and Eno, she could have saved them, but she didn't simply because she didn't like Eno.

Even though he was indeed pitiful, and the song "LULLABYE" did break her heart, she still felt that the conflict between Rhodes Island and the Reunion Movement was entirely caused by him.

If it had been FrostNova instead, none of this would have happened, and Rhodes Island wouldn't have lost so many operators trying to save the Doctor.

After all, she could only save Tony's family, who were complete strangers; saving Eno would have been even simpler.

With this in mind, Suika accepted Elisa's request.

However, Suika couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw the letter.

"Pfft~ Hahaha"

Suika sat on the sofa, holding the two letters, laughing so hard she almost cried.

The reason is simple: one of the letters was addressed to Ensiodis Shivaish, the head of the Sheraghivaish family.

The other letter was addressed to Mr. Silverash of Kjerag Trade.

Elisa didn't know him, so she didn't know that the two letters were referring to the same person, but Suika did, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the two letters.

Elisa looked at Suika was suddenly laughing like a madwoman, with a helpless expression.

What's wrong with you now?

After thinking about it, Suika decided to tell her about it. Although it was indeed interesting to see her completely clueless, she wasn't Masked Fools under Everjoy Heavenly Lord's command and didn't have a penchant for watching her friend being kept in the dark.

"Did you know that Silverash is one of the few families in Kjerag that seeks to be open? After the previous head of the family was assassinated, the new head of the family took over the position and, with the help of Duke Kestrel, created a foreign trade company called Kjerag Trade, using the economy as a link. This company provides the outside world with various specialties from Kjerag while bringing fresh products from outside to Kjerag."

The leader's name is Enciodes Silverash.

When he was Kjerag Trade, he used the codename "Silverash"...

At this point, Suika stopped talking.

Elisa, being a university president and a genuine scholar and expert, was certainly not stupid; she immediately understood why Suika was smiling.

"So, the head of Silverash is the boss of the Kjerag Trade, right?"

Elisa looked at Suika with a hint of helplessness, then at the two letters.

"What do you think he's after?"

"It's probably because he doesn't understand you, the leader who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

He doesn't dare gamble on whether you'll withhold a spot and then resell it to someone else, so he can only use this method to test the waters.

Since they're all Kjerag slots anyway, selling them to Kjerag Trade or to the government makes no difference to him.

What he needs to ensure is that all ten spots remain in Kjerag.

Suika stroked her chin and said.

Since quotas can be sold, the nationality of those on the quota can naturally be flexible.

For example, someone who is a registered citizen during their school years, but has lived abroad since childhood.

It's perfectly normal to acquire the nationality of the place where you've been living for a long time after graduation.

In that case, the spot will be taken away.

But neither Kjerag nor Silverash would stand idly by and watch such a thing happen.

After all, the SilverAsh had truly witnessed Kjerag's backwardness.

He wanted to change Kjerag, but he couldn't do it alone. So, to build up his talent pool, he wouldn't give up sending students to Victoria's prestigious schools.

Especially Elisa, the new branch campus backed by the Victoria Academy of Sciences.

It's worth noting that a few years later, Kjerag even began producing its own High-Speed Battleship.

Without enough talented people under their command, they simply cannot accomplish these things.

As for hiring outside help, it will likely be very difficult, since no one can guarantee that the outside helper won't leak the information beforehand.

One of the reasons why Kjerag was able to survive under Victoria's nose was his lack of military strength. The neighboring Caster felt that he could send an army to take down Kjerag at any time, which gave Kjerag a chance to live.

Therefore, it's best to entrust these tasks to your own people.

"So, this Lord Enciodes is a progressive person after all?" Elisa's lips curled up after hearing Suika's words.

"Of course, after all, if you leave your hometown and find that compared to other places that are constantly progressing and changing rapidly, your hometown is so poor, backward and unambitious."

You're someone who loves your hometown, wouldn't you want to change all of this?

And this Enciodes just happens to be that kind of person.

Having witnessed the splendor of Victoria, how could he possibly tolerate his own home in such a state upon returning to his hometown?

"Why do you seem to know Kjerag and that Enciodes so well?" Elisa suddenly asked, puzzled.

"Well, perhaps I, like him, deeply understand that falling behind means being vulnerable to attack..."

Suika suddenly became somewhat melancholy.

Noticing Suika's change in mood, Elisa reached out and took Suika's hand.

"Let's go, there's no rush to deliver the message."

Let's go eat first, then go to the sauna to relax.

"You'll have to get me some good wine!"

"No problem!"

Upon hearing that there was good wine, Suika was no longer depressed, but instead followed Elisa out of the office with great interest.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the two sat in the sauna and continued chatting.

Elisa told Suika some good news.

With the end of the Sarkaz Civil War, the Victoria - Leithanien - Lungmen route has reopened.

Elisa has already sent someone to Lungmen with a letter. According to past practice, as long as there is no major war, this route will remain unobstructed for at least ten or even a hundred years.

Chapter 273 The Triple Reward Draw

"This is indeed a good thing." Suika nodded. With more communication between Lungmen and the outside world, it would be easier for her to send things there in the future.

Although his whereabouts were uncertain and Hoshiguma couldn't find him, he couldn't escape Lungmen.

So afterwards, he kept writing letters to Lungmen to harass Hoshiguma.

After the sauna, Suika stayed in a room arranged by Elisa.

This trip to Kazimierz was indeed much more exciting than she had anticipated.

Although I didn't see any high-ranking members of Kazimierz on the surface, the presence of the Armorless Union and the Commercial Union was felt wherever I went. I even met two Lazurite Saints. Although I didn't encounter Platinum, the trip was still worthwhile.

As for Reki, a knight under the Armorless Union, it's normal that she doesn't see her. It would be strange if Suika actually saw her.

After all, what's in front of me now is a real world. Rhodes Island's few hundred operators are just a drop in the ocean compared to the vastness of Terra. Meeting even one of them is a special kind of fate.

"I think I should treat myself!" Suika said, glancing at a box not far from her.

That box contained money she had asked Elisa to retrieve for her; converted to Lungmen Dollars, it was exactly 300,000.

Her reward for herself was to give each unit a single draw.

After all, these abilities from Gensokyo are what give her the confidence to survive here.

Although my current skills are enough to survive, it's never a bad thing to have too many skills.

Give us more good stuff, even if we can't use it ourselves, we can give it to our friends, just like the Shanghai Legion.

First, she threw a shot at the talent stat.

With 100,000 coins, she was sure to get good stuff, and given her luck in not having drawn cards for so long, she felt she should get something good.

A few seconds later, Suika looked at the talent's Offering Box with a bit of annoyance.

The ability she gained is called the ability to communicate with a target over extremely long distances by stating the target's name and current address three times in a row.

The extremely long introduction leads to the claim of a free global phone call, but it's the kind where you can only make the calls yourself.

To say it's a huge loss isn't really a loss. Having this ability allows you to contact the person you want to contact anytime, anywhere, provided you provide their address. This doesn't need to be down to the neighborhood, but at the very least, it has to be the city and there doesn't have to be anyone with the same name in that city.

However, in terms of earning more, there wasn't much more, as there were still considerable restrictions.

However, she had just thought of harassing Hoshiguma with letters, but now that she has this ability, she doesn't need to send letters anymore; she can directly make a remote call to the other party.

I just don't know if the other person can accept this sudden change in how we chat.

Suika did some quick calculations and realized that what was late at night on her end should be morning in Lungmen.

Calling her shortly after would be just in time for her to wake up, which would be perfect timing.

The first single pull was a disaster, so Suika turned her attention to skills.
