Even their own identity was assumed to be that of the Dean of the Deep Sea Institute.
Ok.
Knowing this information, I should be able to do a little bit of it myself...
Thinking about this, Xiaobai felt more confident.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Savoy turned to Little White and asked.
"Well... actually, there aren't any more, but... if Miss Savoy doesn't mind, could you tell me the names and physical characteristics of the other Deep Sea Deans? After all, it would make communication easier."
“Of course…” Savoy nodded to Little White, “Listen carefully, besides me and Deep Sea Zuikaku, the other four Deep Sea Deans in this city are…”
Savoy explained things to Xiaobai while leading Xiaobai and Chaoda towards the black spire in the very center of the city.
The dozens of waterways in the ruined city must have been specially cleared by these deep-sea deans. The roads were wide and straight, with no debris blocking the way. Xiaobai and Chaoda smoothly crossed the waterways and arrived at the base of the black spire.
The closer Xiaobai got to the black spire, the more he could sense a faint deep-sea aura emanating from it. This increasingly intense deep-sea aura did not originate from the Dean of the Deep Sea, but rather from another kind of deep-sea aura as ferocious as a wolf-toothed beast.
Another walk.
Little White was gradually able to take in the view of the base of the black spire.
In the waters surrounding the black spire, hundreds of deep-sea frigates lay prostrate on the surface, silently spewing water amidst subtle whispers. Each of these frigates was as enormous as the one Xiaobai had seen under the command of the Deep-Sea Zuikaku, and their numbers were vast. As Xiaobai and Savoy approached, these frigates glared at them with their crimson eyes, looking as if they were about to pounce and tear the three apart at the slightest provocation.
"Ignore them." Savoy didn't even glance at the deep-sea frigates. She reminded Xiaobai, "Those things are deep-sea frigates that the deep-sea deans in the city have raised together. They are different from ordinary deep-sea frigates. They are not afraid of the aura of the deep-sea deans. But don't worry, as long as you don't attack them, they won't come up to you or do anything to you."
"Oh..." Xiaobai looked thoughtfully at the deep-sea frigates crouching beneath the black spires. "There are... quite a lot of them."
A typical deep-sea frigate commander typically has seven or eight ships, and at most, no more than ten at a time. However, the deep-sea frigates appearing beneath the black spire at this moment easily number over a hundred. If all of these deep-sea frigates were to surface at once, the Haoding Garrison would probably not be able to hold out for even an hour…
This is really a big problem...
Uh.
wrong.
Compared to these hundred-plus deep-sea frigates, the deep-sea deans who nurture them are clearly in greater danger...
Xiaobai was lost in thought. She shook her head and then looked at Savoy.
"Miss Savoy, were you also involved in the upbringing of these deep-sea frigates?"
"Me? I didn't."
"Eh? Why…"
“Because it’s so boring.” Savoy chuckled. “And let me tell you a little secret: Abyssal Zuikaku has not been involved in the breeding of these deep-sea frigates.”
"Oh ho... no wonder..." Xiaobai nodded, somewhat understanding.
No wonder the Abyssal Fleet, the Zuikaku, didn't seem to care at all when sending them away... turns out they weren't even trained by them...
Chapter 1957 Divine Wind
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of deep-sea frigates, Xiaobai and his two companions approached the black spire.
The black spire in the city center is the only building in this ruined metropolis that is still in relatively good condition. Although the dark tower is covered with jagged cracks and the doors and windows are just empty holes, giving it the feeling of a dangerous building that is extremely dilapidated, it still stands properly on the sea and has not collapsed like other buildings in the city.
The "gate" is right in front of us.
Through the spire's "gate," now just a frame, Xiaobai stood outside the tower and peered inside.
The black spire occupies a large area, but the interior is unusually simple. Apart from the snow-white floors and stairs, there are no decorations or furniture inside.
Xiao Bai didn't know whether there were originally no objects inside the black spire, or whether the objects inside the tower had slowly broken and decayed over a long period of time, and were eventually discarded as unwanted garbage by the deep-sea deans who lived inside.
Xiao Bai was thinking.
suddenly.
Just then, Xiaobai sensed a massive surge of spiritual energy flowing down from the upper level of the black spire. In the blink of an eye, this spiritual energy rapidly swept over the three people on their side, hovered around the spire's entrance for a while, and finally slowly returned to the upper level of the spire before disappearing.
"Huh? Miss Savoy, who was that just now...?" Xiaobai turned her head curiously to look at Savoy.
"That was the mental power of one of the Deep Sea Deans here," Savoy explained briefly to Xiaobai, glancing at him mysteriously before smiling slightly. "That was just her using her mental power to observe you... As I mentioned before, outsiders are very welcome here."
"Is it a very warm welcome..." Little White muttered Savoy's words, rubbed her chest, and remained silent for a while.
Just as Savoy said, the spiritual energy that came down from the top of the tower simply observed himself and Super Yamato without showing any malice. However, in Xiaobai's perception, the scale of that spiritual energy was several levels stronger than that of an ordinary Deep Sea Dean.
...At least none of the Deep Sea Deans in the newbie naval base could display such a scale of spiritual power.
"I have a feeling it's a very powerful Deep Sea Dean..." Xiaobai muttered to himself, then looked at Savoy, "Miss Savoy, who was the owner of that spiritual power just now?"
“He’s the first person I just mentioned,” Savoy replied, stepping into the tower.
"Oh...it's her..." Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked up at Savoy and asked, "So, between her and Miss Savoy, who is more powerful?"
“Hehehe... I’ve never fought her,” Savoy replied with a light laugh.
"Never fought one?"
"Yes."
"I thought Miss Savoy was the type who would get itchy to try her hand at anyone she saw."
"Hehehe... I really am."
"Then why haven't you fought with her?"
“Because she’s not an interesting person,” Savoy said with a smile, then slowly shifted his gaze to Little White. “I’m not interested in her.”
"……"noob.
The three entered the spire.
Led by Savoy, the three of them climbed the central staircase of the spire, floor by floor. The spire was quiet all the way up. As Xiaobai climbed the floors, she observed the scene inside each floor. She found that although the floors she passed were spacious, with open views and nice environments, they were all empty. There was no sign that anyone had ever lived or used them.
"Isn't this where the Deans of the Deep Sea reside?" Little White asked Savoy.
“Obviously not,” Savoy replied. “The Deep Sea Deans live in various corners of this city and rarely interact with each other. They only gather here like this when something big happens, such as punishing the Deep Sea Zuikaku.”
"Uh..." Xiaobai said awkwardly.
Just at this time.
A mature female voice suddenly came from above Xiaobai and the other two, interrupting Xiaobai and Savoy's conversation.
"Savoy, you seem to have a lot of free time today? Are you explaining the local customs and culture to the newlyweds?"
"Hmm?" Xiaobai subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the top of the stairs.
In Xiaobai's view, on the upper floor of the stairs, a white-haired woman with voluptuous breasts and a large bottom was bending over and leaning on the handrail, looking down at Xiaobai and his two companions who were climbing the stairs. She was wearing a tight black dress, and her black boots tapped rhythmically against each other. Her bright blue eyes were full of mocking laughter.
"Blue eyes... an arrogant expression..." Xiao Bai silently recited the characteristics Savoy had described to him, staring intently at the white-haired woman leaning against the railing, and blinked.
Ok.
The alluring older sister in front of him must be Kamikaze, the last of the four Deep Sea Deans whom Savoy had casually mentioned when introducing him.
"Idle time? Hehehe... I don't have the idle time to waste on boring people." Savoy listened to Kamikaze's teasing, but she didn't look up. She just chuckled softly and continued to walk steadily up the stairs. Her gaze never fell on Kamikaze once. She just stared straight ahead. "Like you."
"What a heartless girl~" Although she was rejected by Savoy, Kamikaze smiled without caring. She was still leaning on the stair railing, staring at Shiro and Yamato behind Savoy with her bright blue eyes. "Oh... these two are the newcomers... so fresh and tender."
“…Hello.” Xiaobai walked to the bottom of the stairs, smiled awkwardly at Shenfeng who was staring straight at him, and greeted him.
"Hello, lovely newcomer, my name is Kamikaze." Kamikaze stared at Shiro with a hint of satisfaction in her blue eyes. She gently parted her crimson lips and extended the back of her hand to Shiro.
“…Hello, hello…” Xiaobai swallowed hard, subconsciously reached out and grasped Shenfeng’s hand, shook it symbolically up and down, and was about to let go.
However, just as Xiaobai was about to let go, Shenfeng's hand flipped swiftly and grabbed Xiaobai's hand tightly. His snow-white thumb pressed firmly against the back of Xiaobai's hand, gently playing with and rubbing it.
"Snapped!"
Savoy reacted with lightning speed; before even Xiaobai could react to the scene, Savoy had already taken the lead, stepping forward and delivering a light pat. A flash of white light dislodged Kamikaze's hand from Xiaobai's grasp.
"Don't touch her." Savoy stared intently at Kamikaze. "If she accidentally catches your boring cells... all my efforts for the whole day will be wasted."
"...Oh? Is that so?" Kamikaze smiled as she rubbed her slightly reddened hand, a faint light gradually appearing in her blue eyes, and the deep-sea aura surrounding her began to stir. "I just wanted to give the newcomer a proper greeting..."
"People like you are better off staying quietly in the dark ditch and not coming out to harm other people."
"Little do we know whose mind is more sinister and twisted, Qi Sijia's or Qi Ershui's..."
"Hehehe..."
"Hum hum……"
Savoy and Kamikaze stared at each other, neither giving an inch. The surrounding deep-sea energy began to pulsate and surge wildly, and the atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.
"Admiral, their relationship seems to be strained." Chao Yamato stepped forward and whispered in Shiro's ear.
"Uh... um, I think I figured it out too..." Xiaobai looked at the two Deep Sea Deans in front of him, swallowed hard, then stepped forward and awkwardly said to them, "Um... Miss Savoy, Miss Kamikaze... don't fight... don't fight because of me..."
bump!
Just at this time.
A loud bang as the door was pushed open came from all around them.
Everyone turned to look.
A white-haired woman with two horns on her head and a pair of elf ears calmly pushed open the door and walked out. She held the door with one hand and stared at the four people who were locked in a stalemate outside the door with her emotionless crimson eyes.
"She said, if we're going to fight, we'll fight outside." The expressionless, red-eyed Deep Sea stared at Savoy and Kamikaze, speaking slowly, word by word.
"...Hehehe...It's true, this won't be interesting enough if things continue like this..."
"...It seems today isn't a good day."
Savoy and Kamikaze smiled slightly, then turned away, each combing their long, snow-white hair in their own way, and said softly.
The turbulent deep-sea atmosphere in the surrounding environment gradually calmed down.
The stalemate between the two deep-sea deans was inexplicably eased after the appearance of the red-eyed ship girl.
Xiao Bai subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
As Xiaobai exhaled halfway, he suddenly had a subtle feeling that he was being watched.
Xiao Bai followed his instincts and looked over there.
The red-eyed ship girl who had just opened the door didn't go back. She stood there, silently watching herself. When she saw Xiaobai looking over, she lowered her arm from the door and walked step by step to Xiaobai. Her gaze lingered on Xiaobai for a while before she spoke softly.
“Barbarossa,” the red-eyed ship girl said.
"Uh... Oh, it's Miss Barbarossa. Nice to meet you..." Xiaobai was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that she was introducing herself, and quickly replied.
"...Hmm..." Barbarossa made a weak "hmm" sound, then slowly turned around and walked back to the room she had just been in.
Chapter 1958 Lord of the Ruins
After Barbarossa's figure disappeared through the door, Kamikaze, while picking at a strand of white hair at his temple with his index finger, walked past Savoy and said to everyone with his back to them, "...Since we still have things to do today, I won't hold it against you... Heh heh heh... Newcomers, please... take good care of me in the future."
When Kamikaze finished speaking, he glanced back at Shiro, gave him a teasing look, licked his lips with his pink tongue, and then walked into Barbarossa's open room.
When Shenfeng glanced at Xiaobai, Xiaobai couldn't help but hug his arms and shiver.
"Pervert..." Savoy added disdainfully in the direction where Kamikaze had disappeared after Kamikaze vanished, flicked his long hair behind him, and looked at Xiaobai, "From now on, you should stay far away from that woman."
"Miss Kamikaze...?"
"Ah."
"Uh... why?"
“Hehehe…” Savoy chuckled. “If you don’t want to wake up naked in her arms tomorrow morning, you’d better listen to me.”
"..." Xiaobai, "...I understand."
"Good to know." Savoy called out to Little White as he stepped forward, "Come with me."
"Oh...where to?"
“Go to Barbarossa’s place,” Savoy said to Little White, pointing to the door Barbarossa had just opened.
Xiao Bai nodded and quickly pulled Chao Da and others to follow Savoy's footsteps.
The three of them walked into the room one after the other.
It was called a room—but in terms of size, it was more like a large conference room with all the tables and chairs removed. After Xiaobai followed Savoy into the room, he looked ahead and saw four figures shrouded in a strong aura of the deep sea sitting in different places in the room.
Kamikaze crossed her arms and leaned against the corner of the room, a faint smile on her lips as she watched Shiro walk in. When Shiro's gaze fell on her, she smiled back and blew him a flirtatious kiss.
Near the door, the quiet Barbarossa sat on a somewhat tattered cloak, holding several brown cards in her hand. Her soft white hair fell to her shoulders, mostly obscuring her elfin ears, and her red eyes silently stared at the front of the cards, seemingly playing some game on her own.
"Hahahaha! Newcomer, newcomer!" Just as Xiaobai was observing Barbarossa, a loud voice rang out beside him.
