Missions and Questions / Suika the Wild and Lazy

Are you sure you can get in?

Just then, Kal'tsit suddenly spoke up.

"Um, I'm not sure, but I can smuggle myself in!" Suika said matter-of-factly.

Chapter 468 Mission and Questions

Upon hearing Suika's words, the operators all wore strange smiles.

In fact, everyone has done this kind of thing. Moreover, when Catastrophe or man-made calamities occur in various countries, people who live on the border rather than in big cities will also flee to neighboring countries for refuge.

With the core focus on large Mobile City, this has become the accepted norm in most countries.

As long as you're not illegally crossing the border and have no proof of your intention to move to Mobile City, living in the wilderness or in a remote settlement, no officials will bother to investigate you.

So most of the time, as long as you avoid the military of various countries and don't enter large Mobile City, you can wander around the country even without a visa.

However, it's rare for someone like Suika to speak out so openly.

Kal'tsit looked at Suika with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright then, but Iberia is different from other countries. You need to remember that if you are questioned by the judge, you must tell the truth."

After Kal'tsit gave a brief reminder, she stopped talking and looked at Amiya.

Amiya pulled out another stack of task lists, these tasks being much easier than the previous two.

You don't need to stay in one place for a long time, nor do you need to travel far.

They were mostly invited to pick up patients from a certain place, or when Catastrophe occurred in a certain place and the local government invited Rhodes Island to send people to assist in handling matters related to the relief of Infected.

After sitting down, Suika cleared her mind, appearing detached and without desire.

When Amiya said the meeting was over and she was about to leave, she was called back again.

"Um?"

Suika looked at Amiya, Amiya gave her an apologetic look.

She came over after everyone had left, carrying a somewhat old-looking task sheet.

"I have two things I hope you can help me with..."

You don't need to change your plans. I just found this while reviewing the tasks, and it happens to be on your planned route. I think it's perfect for you; you can look for it along the way, but it's okay if you don't find it.

As Amiya spoke, she handed a task sheet to Suika.

[Ghost Church: Someone spotted a dilapidated church that was still moving near the border between Laterano and Iberia, but it quickly disappeared from sight. After the person reported this, Laterano sent people to investigate, but they found nothing.]

"The trouble with this mission is that, according to the clues we have, the church is located in Iberia and was probably built when Laterano and Iberia were cooperating."

Our partners in Laterano would like to help us locate the exact location of this church if the opportunity arises.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find it.

After Amiya finished speaking Suika nodded.

When Suika saw the quest, she knew exactly where the quest was about.

After all, this place is home to Laterano citizens who are even more detestable than the Ursus citizens.

Running around aimlessly and even jumping into traps, these Laterano civilians are arguably the most annoying friendly units the Doctor encounters in the game.

Hortus de Escapismo...

A story whose plot also made Suika dislike it.

After all, she hates tragedies, she hates accidents, and she hates self-righteous sacrifices, and this plot point perfectly embodies all of those.

"No problem, I'll try to find this... church."

Suika recalled that the people of Laterano found this place within Laterano territory, so even if the church was moving, it shouldn't have moved too far, so it should be near the border between Iberia and Laterano.

As for why it can't be found, it's because the people inside are hiding from outsiders.

After all, the church wasn't just inhabited by Laterano, but also... Sarkaz.

Suika here actually admires that bishop quite a bit.

After all, others might not know the hatred between the Sarkaz and the Sankta, but as a bishop, it was impossible for him not to know.

But he was able to accept these Sarkaz mercenaries.

That attitude deserves her praise.

Because I absolutely couldn't do it myself.

Just as Suika was pondering the plot of the Hortus de Escapismo, Amiya took out a letter.

"Isn't your plan to Rim Billiton? I have a private letter here that I hope you can take with me."

"Oh? Wasn't someone going to Rim Billiton? Why don't you go find him?" Suika pointed to the door; the operators had just left.

Amiya's face flushed slightly.

"This is a private letter. Suika, aren't you a messenger? I think it's more appropriate to give it to you."

Suika took the envelope, which was addressed to "Charlotte".

Seeing Suika's gaze, Amiya spoke up.

"Charlotte is an operator from Rhodes Island, codenamed 'Outcast,' and she's currently working for Rim Billiton."

She's an old acquaintance of both me and the Doctor, and according to our plans, the Doctor and I will be going to Rim Billiton later, where we'll need her assistance."

After Amiya said her name, Suika understood; it was the woman who wanted to be the little rabbit's mother.

When Suika first saw this name, her first thought was "Charlotte's Trouble," and her second thought was "Charlotte Sherlock Holmes."

If Amiya hadn't spoken up, Charlotte Linlin would probably have been the third person she thought of.

"I see, then no problem." Suika stuffed the letter into her small handbag.

After exchanging a few more words, the two went outside and discovered that Kal'tsit was still there.

After seeing the two of them come out Kal'tsit looked at Suika.

"Would it be convenient for us to chat?"

"Of course!" Suika nodded.

Amiya said goodbye to the two and left first.

"Did you inspire her to come to me?"

"That's right, these members of the Sui Family are holed up in Great Yan, racking their brains to figure out how to break free from the past and become independent."

I think if she can't do it herself, she should ask someone. Dr. Kal'tsit, you're very knowledgeable, maybe you can help her."

Suika readily admitted it.

"Why are you interested in Iberia again?" Kal'tsit asked her second question.

"Have you read 'The Golden Country,' the 'Golden Fleet' trilogy, and 'A Brief History of Terra' in the library?"

Suika countered with a question.

"Certainly!"

"These books show that Iberia was once an incredibly powerful country, with military strength far surpassing that of other countries on the continent."

Their power and prosperity are unmatched by any country today.

But this very country suddenly lost its voice in Terra.

It is illogical for a country to suddenly decline from its peak without a large-scale war.

What's most strange is that the surrounding countries don't seem to covet it much; even Columbia and Victoria are keeping quiet about it.

This is very strange.

Such a large country, with so much territory, why has it almost disappeared from the sight of the Terra?

Although I'm not Feline, I'm still just as curious...

Chapter 469 Arrogant, Lazy Little Suika

After listening to Suika's words, Kal'tsit fell into thought.

She considered moving all the books related to Iberia to the Elite Operator area.

Rhodes Island has many operators, Suika is neither the most curious nor the most reckless.

Fortunately, she was quite skilled; even without using her brain, she could fight her way out with her fists.

But others don't have her advantages.

Just like her, he became curious about these books and went to Iberia.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the area is a no-go zone.

However, outsiders are not welcome there, and people with a strong sense of curiosity are even less welcome.

If discovered by the judge, the lucky ones will be deported; the unlucky ones, if they become involved with certain forces out of curiosity, will find that the judge's prison is no cleaner than the Sarkaz's torture chamber.

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit grabbed Suika.

"I won't stop you from going to Iberia, but please remember one thing."

Do not get involved with any organization called the Church of the Deep in any way.

Suika waved her hand.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in becoming Seaborn, nor do I want to join the Great Swarm."

"You know about those things?" Kal'tsit stared at Suika.

"What do you want to ask, Seaborn?"

I don't know why there are such things in the sea, but since Aegir caused all this, they have to solve it themselves. Don't try to dump this mess on the land people.

As for Iberia, I am indeed quite curious, but what I'm curious about is how the country is now after all these years. As for the rest, I can't control it, and I don't want to."

Suika stared at Kal'tsit, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Kal'tsit, considering the other person's identity, assumed he was just one of some old guys, so she didn't ask any further questions.

After all, the Seaborn has never been a secret. It's just that information spreads slowly in Terra, and various countries haven't taken this creature seriously, which is why things have turned out this way.

If anyone is interested in learning more, I won't say more; surely some of the Sui Family sisters already know about this, including Great Yan.

Knowing someone is one thing, but regarding them as an enemy or opponent is another.

Even when the Seaborn destroyed the world, the countries initially fought almost independently, never intervening unless the enemy directly confronted them.

By the time they realized that this thing was even more terrifying than they had imagined, and that they couldn't defeat it without going all out, it was already too late.

After taking a few deep breaths Kal'tsit spoke.

"The terror of Seaborn is more terrifying than you can imagine, especially its evolutionary capabilities."

Over the years, I don't know how far they've evolved, but one thing is certain: once Aegir is completely wiped out by the Seaborn, the next target for those sea creatures will definitely be the land."

"It's no use telling me. I don't have the ability to fight a thousand men single-handedly, let alone completely wipe out Seaborn."

However, since you have the leisure to play games as a parent on Rhodes Island, you must have a corresponding plan.

Don't worry, I'm just going for a stroll. I might take a few photos at most, and as long as no one pokes my face, I have no interest in punching anyone.

Suika spread her hands to indicate her attitude.

"Okay, I hope you keep your word."

One of the purposes of Kal'tsit's words was to make Suika take the concept of the Seaborn seriously.

Other ordinary people are easier to deal with; being assimilated by Seaborn isn't difficult. But someone like her, being assimilated by Seaborn...

Kal'tsit didn't want the land dwellers to face a newly born "god-level Seaborn" before they were even prepared.

After leaving, Suika checked the time and it was almost nine o'clock, so she sent Hoshiguma a text message to let her know that she wouldn't be going to the library, and then went back to her room.

Upon entering the room, Suika surprised to see that Shanghai was actually there.

"Hmm, didn't I ask you to protect Hoshiguma for me?" Suika looked at the little guy in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Shanghai took out a piece of paper; the smell of the ink on it indicated that Hoshiguma had written it not long ago.

Suika glanced at it and understood that Hoshiguma's general idea was that she was safe in both Rhodes Island and Lungmen, and with the newly crafted weapon and the rejuvenated Hannya, she didn't need Shanghai's help.
