The Best Thing About Rhodes Island Is All the Familiar Faces / Engineering Department, Shady Dealers

Swire's first reaction was, "Does Terra have a country like this?"

My second reaction was, "Holy crap, Terra has this country too?"

Since the Great Silence a century ago, Iberia has almost faded from the view of the Terra nations.

Strangely enough, even though they knew the territory there was quite large, none of the surrounding countries took this opportunity to gradually encroach upon it.

They usually stop after returning to their own territory, as if there was something despised about the land of Iberia.

After that, the Iberia rarely traveled on the mainland.

That's why Swire reacted that way when Suika mentioned this country.

"Why are you reading books from this country?" Swire's curiosity, piqued by the Feline, was piqued.

"Our next stop is here."

I've learned a bit about this country before, and it seems they don't really like outsiders. I wonder if I'll be able to get in smoothly?

Suika stroked her chin.

"Are you leaving?" Hoshiguma asked Suika.

"The direction Rhodes Island is heading is towards Leithanien. I plan to disembark halfway there, enter Iberia from Siracusa, and then probably continue west, perhaps to Sargon, or maybe Columbia. I haven't decided on my destination yet."

Suika didn't hide it; she had been planning this all along, because in her memory, the events in Iberia had happened in the last two years, and she intended to go and see for herself.

While I'm at it, I'll catch a few Seaborn and give them to those guys in Gensokyo to study.

Upon hearing Suika's reply, Hoshiguma paused for two seconds before saying, "Then be careful."

"We won't be leaving so soon, it'll be at least another month or so. You're speaking too soon," Suika comforted him in a teasing tone.

Chapter 462 The advantage of Rhodes Island is that there are many acquaintances.

The next morning, by the time Suika woke up naturally, it was almost noon.

She walked into the restaurant, looking sleepy and yawning.

"Hey, Suika!" A cheerful voice came from not far away.

Suika looked up and saw the Penguin Logistics family sitting at a table not far away, eating.

"How much do you love apple pie...?"

Looking at the apple Suika, I couldn't help but complain.

This stuff is so sweet, doesn't it make you feel nauseous if you eat too much of it?

"Of course I hope to eat apple pie for the rest of my life!" Exusiai said matter-of-factly.

Since she wasn't hungry, Suika simply sat down next to Exusiai.

"I didn't see you before, I thought you had gone back!"

"This is the third time!" Croissant, standing to the side, raised her hand and held up three fingers.

"Wow, so much stuff!" Suika in surprise.

"Yes... We didn't expect there to be so many at first. We had no choice but to suspend our business in Lungmen and deliver all the goods here."

However, this is the last trip. After that, I'll only need to run around occasionally for small items, so it won't be as troublesome.

Texas nodded to Suika.

Actually, it's not that many.

However, many of the instruments Rhodes Island ordered from Lungmen this time are high-precision equipment that cannot be pressed or stacked, so a lot of space cannot be used effectively.

That's why they had to make several trips.

"What's next? Since we're here on Rhodes Island, how about we spend a few days here?"

Suika asked as she took the apple pie from Exusiai.

"Yes, I do have that plan..."

Furthermore, Rhodes Island has a batch of equipment and operators going to Lungmen later, and Ms. Amiya invited us to go with them."

Everyone looked at Texas; she was the one in charge after she came out.

When she agreed, Exusiai and the others cheered a few times.

Rhodes Island has operators from all over the world; you might even get a chance to meet someone from your hometown!

They all paid close attention to what Suika said, and Exusiai, wanted to sample local delicacies while they were there.

Croissant's idea was to do some small business here, buy some rare and unusual items that Great Yan didn't have, and sell some of her own little gadgets.

As for Texas... she probably least wants to meet someone from her hometown.

Just then, a fox-shaped carrot passed by outside, Suika pointed at the Light of Rhodes Island and said.

"Texas, that girl with the lily of the Suzuran is from Siracusa."

Texas tensed up upon hearing Suika's words, but relaxed when she saw that it was Vulpo.

"Don't be nervous, Texas. The fact that you're here at Rhodes Island proves that even if you had connections with your family before, that's all in the past..."

After all, Infected...

Suika didn't finish her sentence, but Texas understood what she meant.

The Siracusa family will not take in Infected.

Therefore, even those who were once part of a family can only become isolated wolves after becoming Infected.

"That girl..." Texas frowned. Although she didn't recognize her, she felt that the girl's face was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

Suika had no idea about Texas's inner thoughts; if she did, she would only say, "If I had actually seen it, it would probably be on some wanted poster."

"Lisa, Rhodes Island's codename is Suzuran. She herself said that she became an Infected by accident and was then sent to Rhodes Island by her mother for treatment."

She was first in her class academically, had excellent interpersonal skills, and was also very good-looking; she was known as the "Light of Rhodes Island."

Suika answered with a smile.

Texas didn't glean anything of interest from Suika's words, and after nodding slightly, her attention was drawn to Exusiai's voice.

"Wow, this omelet is delicious! Texas, come try it..."

Suika also took a piece of the baked omelet, took a bite, and felt a familiar taste.

"Hmm, this smell... cheese fondue?"

Suika looked up at the front desk.

A familiar and reassuring man was standing at the front desk.

There were quite a few children standing in front of his counter.

Compared to adults, the sweet and savory flavors are more popular with the elderly and children.

Suika glanced at Exusiai and, noticing she was also somewhat interested, pointed to the one she said...

"Shall we join the queue? Otherwise, if it gets too crowded, we might not get a turn."

Exusiai nodded, and the two quickly ran behind the children.

Before long, the two arrived in front of the Matterhorn.

"Hey big guy, can I have a cheese fondue?"

Suika leaned against the front desk and said in a strange tone.

Upon hearing Suika's voice, Matterhorn looked up with a delighted expression.

"Miss Suika."

"You know them?" Exusiai behind him belatedly asked.

"Friends I met while playing in Kjerag."

You've been here with Enya for about half a year now...

Suika recalled that she had introduced Rhodes Island to them in late autumn, and now it was spring, just after a winter.

"It didn't take that long... By the time we arrived at Rhodes Island, we were almost across Leithanien."

However, your name has been renowned throughout Rhodes Island.

Matterhorn said with a simple, honest smile.

Meanwhile, his hands didn't stop moving, and soon a fragrant cheese fondue was served.

How is Enya now?

Suika asked before serving.

"The young lady is doing very well. Her infection is not serious, and the doctor said it is completely under control."

"As long as you take your medication on time, you can live a peaceful and healthy life like any other person."

Mentioning the Enya Matterhorn made him even happier, his eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

"That's good. Please give her my blessings for me."

Knowing that Enya's condition was under control, Suika nodded, then walked back with Exusiai, carrying the cheese fondue.

After finishing a fragrant cheese fondue, Suika walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied burp.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Chen Yihang walking towards me.

Before Suika could escape, Swire grabbed her face.

"Fine, we're having a meeting upstairs, and you're not only sleeping in, but also sneaking food."

"I didn't steal it, I ate it openly and honestly..." Suika retorted.

"So you don't deny sleeping in late?" Swire astutely seized on the loophole in Suika's words.

"Officer Chen, help!"

Seeing that Swire and Hoshiguma looked unhappy, Suika turned her gaze to Chen.

Just call me Hui Jie.

Beatrix, stop teasing her.

When we arrived, we met Miss Nian. She told us to let you know if we saw you, as she needs to speak with you.

Seeing the group playfully bickering, Chen finally managed a smile.

"Year?" Suika tilted her head as she escaped from the tiger's clutches.

However, it seems they are unaware of Nian's intentions, so it looks like we'll have to find out the reason ourselves.

Chapter 463 Engineering Department, Unscrupulous Merchant

"OK!

By the way, what will you do after that, Jiu?

Should we go back to Lungmen with them or stay on Rhodes Island?

Suika looked at Kyuu, who had been standing quietly behind the group.

Hearing what Suika said, everyone turned their attention to her.

Jiu shook his head

"Having only been here for such a short time, I don't know enough about Rhodes Island yet, so I can't make any judgments."

Anyway, according to the agreement, the members of this exchange group will stay in Rhodes Island for a maximum of three years, which is enough time for me to personally verify whether Rhodes Island is the place I'm looking for.

After Jiu finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement. Anyway, there was still plenty of time, and there was no need to rush to a conclusion. Otherwise, it would be awkward for everyone if they regretted it later.

After chatting for a few minutes, Suika said goodbye to the others and prepared to go find Nian.

As for where to find the Year within Rhodes Island, it's actually not difficult.

Compared to others, Nian's actions were more purposeful; having just boarded the ship, she only went to a few specific places.

One of her purposes is to find Kal'tsit.
