Elder brother's garrison

"Did she succeed?" A cool voice rang out beside Xiaobai.

Little White looked up and saw Barbarossa standing in front of him, her red eyes quietly watching him.

"Eh? Miss Barbarossa? You are..."

“Frederick sensed from the marks she left that Kamikaze had brought you into her house and might be planning something bad on you, so he sent me here to rescue you,” Barbarossa said calmly, pointing to Little White’s palm.

Xiao Bai opened his palm and saw the golden light spots on it. He nodded in understanding: "Uh... I see... that's how it is."

"Did she succeed?" Barbarossa asked Little White again.

"Huh? No...not yet..." Xiaobai quickly shook her head.

"Hmm." Barbarossa lowered his hand, turned around, and dragged the thick cannon barrel toward the waterway exit. "Then hurry up and leave. I'll protect you as you get out of here."

As Barbarossa turned, the thick, massive cannon barrel scraped and swished along the waterway, dragging itself far away.

"..." Xiaobai patted her chest, glanced at the cannon barrel behind Barbarossa a few times, and then quickly followed in Barbarossa's footsteps. "Well... thank you, Miss Barbarossa..."

"Ah."

"Um... Miss Barbarossa... Miss Kamikaze, what are you going to do with her...?"

"Ok?"

"She must have broken the rules..."

“If she had succeeded, Frederick would have punished her. Since she hasn’t succeeded yet, she won’t be punished.” Barbarossa’s voice was as numb as her expression.

"...This law sounds like it has loopholes..." Xiaobai's expression was complicated.

Chapter 1987 The Discovery of the Will of the Deep Sea

Having just escaped from the jaws of death and almost lost something important, Xiao Bai muttered complaints about the legal system of the deep-sea city.

Barbarossa turned around and gave Little White a cold look.

Xiao Bai quickly shut his mouth, put his hands behind his back, turned his head to the side, and whistled.

"..." Barbarossa turned his head back.

"..." Xiaobai let out a breath and put her hands down.

Xiaobai observed Barbarossa's back for a while.

Barbarossa was probably ordered by Frederick the Great to come here and rescue himself from the clutches of the kamikaze... In a sense, since he was given such a crucial responsibility by Frederick the Great, does that prove that Barbarossa is actually a "good citizen"?

Xiaobai thought for a while.

Seeing that Barbarossa wasn't very enthusiastic, but didn't seem to mind talking to him, Xiaobai decided to try and get some information out of him.

"Miss Barbarossa."

"Ok?"

"Um... has Ms. Kamikaze always been like this in the city?"

"Ah."

"...Besides me, who else has she targeted?"

"Quite a lot of people."

"for example?"

"Savoy."

"...Uh." Xiaobai was slow to react, then suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.

Xiaobai understood. She finally knew why Savoy had been so eager to confront Kamikaze the moment she saw him...

"So Miss Savoy was also tricked by Miss Kamikaze..." Shiro muttered, then looked up and asked, "What happened in the end?"

"Frederick intervened personally, so he failed."

"Hmm... it seems like Frederick is quite familiar with Kamikaze's style." Shiro said, then suddenly remembered the spiritual mark on Kamikaze's chest, and pondered for a moment, "Hmm..."

I always feel...

The mental energy mark on Kamikaze's chest contains a lot of information.

Should we ask?

Thinking of this, Xiaobai asked Barbarossa, "Miss Barbarossa... what is the relationship between Frederick and Kamikaze?"

"normal."

"No, I was asking if those two were..."

"..." Barbarossa coldly glanced back at Little White again.

"It's alright now." Xiaobai closed her mouth and turned her head away.

It seems... Barbarossa doesn't really like making statements that are unfavorable to Frederick the Great.

makes sense.

After all, he's a model citizen... It's definitely not appropriate to speak ill of the mayor in front of a model citizen.

Thinking this through, Xiao Bai gave up on dwelling on the issue, figuring it was just gossip and whether he knew the answer or not wouldn't make much difference.

Since I finally have a chance to get some information out of him, I'd better ask some more important questions myself...

"Miss Barbarossa, is Miss Kamikaze... also an outsider?" Shiro asked Barbarossa.

"Yes."

"...As expected...when did Ms. Kamikaze arrive?"

"Very early."

"Before the Deep Sea Zuikaku and Savoy?"

"Ah."

"Where is Miss Barbarossa?"

“I came with Frederick and Hindenburg,” Barbarossa said.

"..." Xiaobai blinked. "Huh? So, Miss Barbarossa, you're a local?"

"Yes."

"...Don't you have any mental markings left by Frederick?"

"No."

"..." Little White silently watched Barbarossa's back, quietly releasing his mental energy to vaguely scan Barbarossa's body.

After Xiaobai's admiral network appeared, Barbarossa seemed to sense something. She paused and turned to look at Xiaobai.

Before Barbarossa could turn around, Xiaobai immediately withdrew from the Admiral Network and looked at Barbarossa with an innocent expression.

"..." Barbarossa glanced at Little White silently for a moment, then turned his head away.

“…Phew.” Xiaobai relaxed.

It seems that Barbarossa's mental strength is stronger than Kamikaze's; she can even vaguely sense the existence of her Admiral Network... She'll have to be more careful next time.

Xiao Bai pursed her lips, thinking to herself.

However, despite the summary, when Xiaobai was adventuring to observe Barbarossa, the Admiral's Network provided him with sufficient information: Barbarossa did not have any mental energy mark left by Frederick the Great. It seems that the information that Barbarossa was a "local" who appeared in this city with Frederick is probably true.

The little stories about the city that Kamikaze told him must have come from Barbarossa and Frederick the Great.

Barbarossa might... know more secrets about this city.

Xiao Bai nodded, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the ruins not far away.

“...Oh, right, Miss Barbarossa.”

"Ok?"

"Speaking of which, do you know that area of ​​ruins, over there... do you know what's there?" Little White pointed to the direction where he had sensed the black light earlier and asked Barbarossa.

"..." Barbarossa suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Barbarossa turned his head and looked at Little White with a blank expression.

It didn't seem like a very kind expression.

"Uh... I, I heard from Miss Kamikaze that it's just a boring wasteland with nothing there, so I was just a little curious..." Shiro quickly raised his hand and explained to Barbarossa.

Whether it was Xiaobai's imagination or not, after hearing his explanation, although Barbarossa still had a blank expression, the unfriendly traces in his expression had dissipated considerably.

Barbarossa turned his head back.

"...It's not...an interesting place," Barbarossa said softly. "Go see it if you want."

"Huh? It's not a restricted area?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Bai felt that Barbarossa probably knew something, but she didn't seem willing to tell him. Strangely, however, she didn't seem to stop him from going to the ruins...

Isn't this just teasing people?

Seeing that Barbarossa had completely stopped reacting, Xiaobai took two steps forward out of curiosity.

“Miss Barbarossa, I…”

"Boom!"

Barbarossa slammed the thick cannon barrel in his hand to the side, making a loud noise.

Xiao Bai quickly closed his mouth.

"...I've already left the territory of the Divine Wind." Barbarossa turned around and spoke to Shiro with a blank expression, "I'm leaving."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback, and then she realized that she and Barbarossa had arrived at a crossroads on a waterway.

After completing her mission, Barbarossa ignored Little White's calls and put away the black cannon barrel, heading away from the city center.

Little White stood there, staring blankly at Barbarossa as he walked away.

Xiao Bai scratched his head.

"What exactly is it..." Xiaobai murmured softly, her gaze thoughtfully drifting towards the ruins in another direction. "...Hmm...they didn't even explain themselves clearly..."

Humph.

As the saying goes, curiosity is the driving force behind human progress.

Since you're not stopping me.

Of course I'll go see it.

Thinking about this, Xiaobai was eventually swayed by her curiosity and headed straight towards the ruins.

In Chapter 1988, the Deans of the Deep Sea did not stop Xiaobai. Xiaobai had the mark left by Frederick the Great on her body, and her whereabouts were completely exposed to Frederick the Great. But even so, when Xiaobai was heading straight towards the ruins area that obviously had some secret, neither Barbarossa nor Frederick the Great appeared to stop her.

Xiaobai arrived at the ruins area smoothly.

Standing at the entrance to the ruins, Xiaobai looked ahead and, just as Shenfeng had described, there was an endless expanse of broken walls and ruins. The collapsed building debris was piled up on both sides of the waterway, forming a structure as tall as Shenfeng's small building.

Xiao Bai followed the waterway into the ruins area.

Aside from being exceptionally dilapidated, the ruined area felt similar to other areas of the ruined city to Xiaobai. Xiaobai walked through the ruined city for a good ten minutes, and even when he was quite deep inside, he didn't feel anything special.

Xiao Bai had deliberately searched for devices that could emit black light or buildings that reflected a distinct black texture, but all the buildings here had collapsed completely, to the point that Xiao Bai suspected someone had carefully dismantled the buildings piece by piece. Clearly, there were no conditions that could emit black light.

Xiao Bai stepped into a nearby ruin and tried to move some of the building debris, hoping to find hidden treasure underneath.

"Hmm... this is a generator? Oh... that makes sense, this used to be the city's factory area." Xiaobai muttered as he searched through the ruins. Beneath the rubble were mostly bricks, tiles, and machine parts. Xiaobai hadn't yet chosen between arts and sciences in high school, so he clearly wasn't at the level to deal with these factory machines. He couldn't understand most of the mechanical debris, only recognizing one or two based on his previous life experience. "Oh... this is a workbench... used for fine carving..."

Xiaobai searched for a while but still couldn't find anything interesting.

She straightened up, braced herself, looked around at the endless ruins, and sighed.

If we were to search through them one by one, it would probably take several years.

No wonder Kamikaze said she only stayed for a short while before leaving this seemingly worthless ruin... If Shiro hadn't seen the black light before, she probably would have left after a while too.

"What exactly is that black light...?" Xiaobai murmured to himself.
