Green Sparks Reunite Old Friends

"I plan to enter Victoria and head northwest, then travel east from the Kestrel Territory to the Rhodes Island flagship anchored in the Windermere Territory."

After looking at the map, Suika drew a straight line.

"Wouldn't it be closer to get there from Gaodoting Territory, through Connor County?"

Whitesmith nodded. "Indeed, this route is shorter, but I received intelligence while I was in Columbia that the situation in the Former Tara Region near Connor County has become very complicated recently, and armed conflict is very likely to occur. If it is not absolutely necessary to cross this area, then it is best to stay away from here."

Suika's pupils suddenly contracted as she looked at the location Whitesmith was pointing to.

The location clearly reads "Little Hill County".

Any Doctor who has read the storyline knows what happened here.

Six bullets, six sinners, and one noble soul perished here simultaneously.

Suika had several encounters with that outcast while on Rhodes Island.

Although the other person is elderly, they have a humorous side.

Furthermore, he is extremely popular within Rhodes Island.

Thinking of this, she fell silent.

It wasn't a question of whether or not to save them, but rather that the thought of encountering the military attacking civilians again made Suika feel nauseous.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Whitesmith asked worriedly when he noticed that Suika had suddenly fallen silent.

"No, but do you need me to give you a ride?"

Suika looked up at the other person.

Whitesmith shook his head.

"I just contacted Stormeye. He had received the distress message earlier, but was stopped in the north."

I told him we'd meet at the border in Victoria, and then he'd send someone to accompany us back to Rhodes Island."

"Alright, I'll accompany you to the border," Suika replied.

"Sister, aren't you coming with us?" Mark suddenly asked, hearing Suika's words.

Suika understood what the other person meant; it was obvious that after witnessing her fighting prowess, this young man wanted her to be his bodyguard.

But she wasn't in the mood for that; her mind was completely occupied with Little Hill County and what was about to happen there.

"I will only accompany them to the border. My colleagues will arrange for someone to escort them for the rest of the journey. I have other matters to attend to..."

After speaking, Suika ignored Mark and instead beckoned back Shanghai, whom she had always assigned to the rear guard.

"I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, she jumped onto a big tree nearby, closed her eyes, and recalled the events of Little Hill County from her memory.

At this point, she didn't know when the event would occur, but it didn't matter. As long as she reached the office in the Gaodoting Territory, she could contact Rhodes Island through the office to inquire about the timing and personnel status of the operators Rhodes Island had dispatched to Little Hill County.

As long as it's an outcast and the time is locked, she just needs to arrive on time.

The six sinners in the Deep Pool are doomed, but they are not worth Outcast losing his life there.

Seeing that Suika didn't want to talk, Mark could only sit back down next to the Rhodes Island operator, feeling rather dejected.

A day later, on the border, Stormeye's expression also turned grim after listening to Whitesmith's account.

He sensed something was wrong after being blocked, but the enemy's army had completely blocked the road to the south, so he had no way to bring his men in and could only stay outside.

After discovering that the enemy army had withdrawn, he hurried to Moon Creek Village, only to find that the road that was originally marked on the map had disappeared.

Just as he was worrying about what had happened here, news came from Whitesmith, and he quickly led his team to catch up.

At this moment, he looked at Suika.

"Thank you for your help this time. If it weren't for your assistance, I'm afraid I would never have seen Old Iron again." (Whitesmith: blacksmith)

"We're colleagues, so we'll naturally help each other out when we encounter trouble. I was just lucky this time; my previous plans had been disrupted, and I was considering my next travel plans when this happened."

"So what are your plans for the future? I heard that the Siesta Music Festival starts at the end of July this year, so it's a bit early to go now."

Stormeye checked the time; it was only late June, a whole month away from the Siesta Music Festival.

"Oh, I heard from Whitesmith that things seem to be in a bit of a mess in Little Hill County lately. Anyway, it's not that far, I'm thinking of going to check it out."

After Suika finished speaking, Whitesmith nodded. It was indeed the information he had provided to Suika, but he hadn't expected that she would still go there on her own initiative, even though she had clearly heard about the information from him.

Upon hearing this, Stormeye said, "Little Hill County? I heard about it before I came. It seems that our ship also sent someone to investigate the situation. Although I don't know who it was, since our ship assigned someone to act alone, they should probably be a fairly capable Elite Operator."

Suika knew who it was, of course, but she didn't respond.

The group chatted as they walked into Victoria.

After resting for a night in the nearest town, Stormeye led them north away from this area.

Meanwhile, Suika went to Karaton, located in the Gaodoting Territory.

The reason for choosing this location is that Karaton is situated right on my route.

Not only does this place have Rhodes Island's office, but it also has people I know, which makes my actions easier.

And she also wanted to check on how Pink Piggy and Thief Cat Food were doing.

Thinking of the others from Karaton, Suika's mood improved somewhat.

After walking in the wilderness for three days, Suika arrived outside Karaton in early July.

Just as she was queuing to enter the city, she saw a convoy loaded with various supplies coming from outside.

Upon seeing the convoy, most people showed expressions of envy.

Just as Suika curiously peeked out at the convoy, the lead vehicle stopped in front of her.

"Suika!"

A voice came from inside the car, and then the car window opened to reveal Marlon's figure.

"Hello!" Suika waved to him. Judging from his uniform, he had probably been promoted again.

"Come on in, get in the car, I'll take you into town." Marlon warmly opened the car door and invited Suika to get in.

Seeing this, Suika didn't stand on ceremony and climbed into the car amidst the envious and surprised gazes of those around her.

"Thank you for your help!"

After getting in the car, Suika glanced at the driver and thought he looked familiar, but she didn't recognize him, so she politely greeted him.

"Miss Suika, how long will you be staying in Karaton this time? Do you need me to make any arrangements?"

Marlon said humbly.

"Brother Marlon, we're old acquaintances, there's no need to be so polite," Suika replied with a smile, then looked out the window.

"By the way, brother, how did you get back from outside? And this caravan, could it be the Swire Family Caravan?"

Marlon gave a thumbs up.

"Suika, you are very perceptive. With the help of the family this year, I have successfully become a councilor and city defense commander in Karaton."

Well, I just happened to find out through some channels that Karaton is currently short of some items, and someone in the family happens to be in that business...

He smiled as he finished speaking, everything understood without a word.

Suika has nothing to criticize about this.

After all, she was a beneficiary to some extent, enjoying the benefits of power while maintaining a facade of purity and innocence. Suika really didn't have that ability.

Moreover, Marlon was merely using the information asymmetry that came with his local power; he didn't commit any crimes, so there's really nothing to say about it.

At this moment Suika also recognized the person driving the car. It was someone from Elisa's side. Although she didn't know the name, Elisa had often taken this person with her, so he was considered one of her confidants.

"Then I'll book you a hotel first, treat you to a welcome-back dinner... and maybe even give you some pampering while I'm at it?"

Marlon pointed to the somewhat rough horns of the Suika.

Upon hearing his words, the two smiled knowingly.

I got to know them because of the Suika skincare corner.

"I'll skip the meal, but I'd like to get some skincare done."

"I've been out there for three or four months, mostly in deserts and rainforests, and it's definitely been a long time since I've done any maintenance."

The two chatted and laughed as they drove to the entrance of a shop that looked expensive and had a sign that read "Beauty Hospital".

The people coming and going here are dressed in clothes that clearly belong to the local upper class.

Marlon said this is the best beauty and grooming place in Karaton, and local women and ladies with a little money choose to come here for skin and hair treatments.

After hesitating for a moment, Suika asked

"I'm allergic to hospitals, should we just skip this?"

Seeing Suika's appearance, Marlon said, "How about this? There's a separate house at the end of the street, which belongs to my wife. I'll arrange for someone to come there and provide you with private care."

"That's not a good idea..." Suika touched her chin, her mind drifting to some adult films from a certain Japanese island nation.

"Don't worry, all the staff here are women, so you won't feel uncomfortable."

Suika was relieved after hearing what Marlon said.

Shortly after he led Suika to the villa, two women with Forte hooves, carrying suitcases and wearing white coats, walked in. They looked very professional.

The two Forte women's eyes lit up when they saw Suika's pair of large horns.

"Little sister, come sit down, let me take a good look at your beautiful horns..."

Tsk tsk tsk, what a perfect horn! But little sister, you really don't know how to take care of it..."

Listening to the woman with the Forte hooves' rapid-fire chatter, Suika felt dizzy and, without realizing it, bought a whole set of horn care repair liquid and polish that would last her a year.

"Sister, those horns are really beautiful. You're lucky. In all of Victoria, no one is better at maintaining such large horns than the two of us."

You know, we previously won a gold medal in a large horned beetle maintenance competition in Minos."

After Suika bought a large quantity of various skincare products, the two men treated Suika even better.

Three hours later, Suika's treatment finally ended, and she rubbed her somewhat stiff neck.

At this moment, her horns had completely changed, from being dark and gloomy at the beginning to now shimmering with light. In the end, the two people liked Suika's horns more and more, and hung several beautiful decorations on them.

Although it seems to be a huge disadvantage in combat, the light reflected from those two large horns on the battlefield can now blind the enemy scouts.

However, it must be said that these two women from Minos with Forte certainly lived up to their boasts in terms of maintaining their horns.

After watching the two leave, Suika called Marlon, told him that he was going to the Infected neighborhood, and then went over there.

Upon opening the door to Verdant Spark, one can hear lively sounds coming from inside.

More than a dozen middle-aged men in work uniforms were chatting and joking around at the table, while Mianmao, a man with a thick lipstick, was carrying a jug full of liquor toward the group at the bar.

Xia Li was leaning against the bar, yawning.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Suika enter.

"Suika!"

Suika waved to her.

"Good afternoon, Xia Li, good afternoon, Susie. Where are Kugen and Ye Yan? I don't see them."

After sitting down at the bar Suika asked with a smile.

"Ye Yan is off work today."

Kugen has gone out to conduct research. If you come tomorrow, only Susie and Ye Yan will be here, and I'll go help them out."

After Xia Li finished speaking, he handed Suika a glass of wine.

Raise your glass Suika it all in one gulp.

"Ah, that feels good."

After nodding in satisfaction, she looked at Xia Li and asked in a low voice.

"Is there any way to contact Rhodes Island here?"

"Contact Rhodes Island? There is indeed a machine for that, but it has limitations; only Elite Operator have the authority to use it."

Hearing Suika's words, Xia Li glanced around and spoke only after confirming that no one was paying attention.
