Barbarossa silently stepped forward and stopped in front of Frederick the Great.
“Frederick, I’ve brought her here,” Barbarossa said to Frederick the Great.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Frederick the Great nodded to Barbarossa. "Go down and rest. I'll start once everyone is here."
"Oh." Barbarossa turned around, walked to the floor not far from Little White, and sat down cross-legged.
Little White tilted his head as he watched Frederick the Great's figure.
Frederick the Great looks like he's about to announce something big...
suddenly.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Little White, who was observing Frederick the Great, felt that Frederick the Great seemed to have slightly turned his head, which was covered in white bandages, as if he was also observing him.
"..." Little White shrank back.
Unfortunately, Frederick the Great's face was covered in bandages, so Xiaobai couldn't see her eyes at all. Therefore, Xiaobai wasn't sure if Frederick the Great's eyes under the bandages were staring at her.
The silence in the meeting room lasted for a while.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening rang out.
Xiao Bai turned around and looked towards the conference room door.
Shen Hai Ruihe calmly pushed open the door and walked into the conference room.
Shenhai Zuikaku first glanced into the conference room, her gaze sweeping over everyone. After seeing Xiaobai, she looked away without lingering, and just as she had said before, she played the role of a stranger to Xiaobai, and quietly sat down in a corner.
"Hindenburg of the Deep Sea is unable to attend the meeting due to his injuries. Let's begin," Barbarossa reminded Frederick the Great after Zuikaku of the Deep Sea entered.
"Alright." Frederick the Great nodded and looked at the crowd.
"And what about Miss Savoy?" Xiaobai seized the opportunity to ask.
"Savoy rests during the day, she won't come..." Shenfeng suddenly spoke up from the corner, muttering lightly.
"Ah...that's true..." Xiaobai scratched his head.
"Then let's begin," Frederick the Great said after a pause, addressing the crowd. "I called you all here today..."
"Crack!"
Just at this time.
The meeting room door was pushed open again.
"Hehehe... It's rare for me to come to a meeting, and none of you are waiting for me? I'm so sad~" A snow-white figure slipped into the conference room from outside, chuckling as she walked lightly across the floor. Halfway there, she stopped and called out with a smile towards Xiaobai, "Hi~ baby~ I'm here~"
brush brush...
The words had not yet faded away.
Several pairs of eyes in the conference room were drawn to Xiaobai.
Chapter 2028 Vacancies
"Miss Savoy?!" Xiaobai looked at the person who walked into the conference room in surprise.
"It's me, it's me." Savoy chuckled as he walked over to Little White, placing his arm affectionately on Little White's shoulder. "How about it? You look very surprised?"
"Yes...yes." Xiaobai nodded haltingly, then asked in confusion, "Miss Savoy, aren't you only out at night? Why are you here during the day too..."
"Hehehe... Of course, it's my intuition that tells me I'll see something interesting if I make an exception and come here, so I came." Savoy chuckled softly, turning his gaze to the other Deep Sea Deans in the conference room. "After all... you've never disappointed me when it comes to bringing me fun, have you?"
"...But even during the day..."
"Yes, I came here feeling incredibly sleepy, and I could easily have fallen asleep right there." Savoy leaned half her weight on Xiaobai's shoulder, whispered in her ear, and breathed a cool breeze. "So... if anything happens, you have to take responsibility and make sure I get home safely, understand?"
"……"noob.
"Quiet down." Just as Xiaobai and Savoy were flirting in front of everyone, Frederick the Great spoke up, interrupting their conversation. She looked at Savoy with her bandaged eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Savoy, it's rare to see you at a meeting, and I'm glad. But now it's everyone's time. I hope you can find a quiet place to sit down. We need to prepare to begin the meeting."
“Okay.” Savoy shrugged, a faint smile on his face, and walked over to the Deep Sea Zuikaku, leaning against the wall beside her.
Savoy looked at the Deep Sea Zuikaku with a half-smile, but didn't say a word.
The deep-sea crane kept its eyes fixed ahead, showing no emotional reaction to Savoy's approach.
"...What are you doing here?" Frederick the Great, his expression unchanged, spoke calmly to Savoy beside him.
“Let’s watch the show,” Savoy said, gesturing with his chin to the Deep Sea Zuikaku.
"What you're looking for isn't here."
"Hehehe...that's hard to say." Savoy chuckled. "That person is never short of interesting things, is he?"
"..." The Deep Sea Zuikaku ignored Savoy. She silently got up, took a few steps in a more distant direction, and took the initiative to leave Savoy's side.
Seeing that the Deep Sea Crane wasn't going to engage with him, Savoy could only shrug and spread his hands before closing his mouth and quietly focusing all his interest on Little White.
Snapped.
Snapped.
The sound of soft clapping filled the conference room lobby.
The eyes of the deep-sea deans, each with their own thoughts, were all drawn to the center of the conference room hall.
"Alright." In the middle of the conference room, Frederick the Great lowered his hands and said calmly to everyone, "Of the eight Deepsea Deans in the city, except for Hindenburg, who is absent from this meeting due to personal reasons, all the others are present. So, according to the rules, let's begin the meeting. Any objections?"
"What happened to Hindenburg of the Deep Sea?" Zuikaku of the Deep Sea raised his hand and asked Frederick the Great from a distance.
"She was injured and is currently recuperating," Frederick the Great nodded and explained to the deep-sea heron.
"Injuried?"
"Yes."
“The deep-sea frigate shouldn’t be a match for her.” Abyssal Zuikaku frowned.
"It was the Super Yamato that injured her," Frederick the Great said calmly.
"..." Fukami Zuikaku's gaze froze for a moment. She slowly looked at Super Yamato, and then her gaze fell on Shiro's face. Her calm expression was now tinged with surprise.
Zuikaku is well aware of Shiro's plan, and she is also well aware of Shiro's relationship with Super Yamato. Super Yamato is Shiro's most loyal servant, and all her actions are at Shiro's behest. If Super Yamato really injures Hindenburg to the point of being unable to move, then it is most likely at Shiro's behest.
"...I'm sorry...it was our mistake." Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares. She couldn't help but scratch her head and apologize to the others, paying particular attention to Frederick the Great's reaction.
Frederick the Great did not show any anger, nor did she seem to intend to blame Shiro and Super Yamato. She simply nodded calmly, her tone remaining gentle.
"I've looked into the details. The reason Deepsea Hindenburg was injured was because she proactively requested to spar with our new residents, not because of their fault," Deepsea Hindenburg said gently. "Furthermore, after being injured, Deepsea Hindenburg herself didn't have any intention of asking me to punish the new residents. She even mentioned several times that she gets along very well with these two new residents. I hope everyone won't have a bad impression of them because of this."
With Frederick the Great's explanation, the Deep Sea Deans present—mainly Deep Sea Zuikaku, Savoy, and Kamikaze—all nodded and displayed their respective expressions.
The deep-sea crane breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Kamikaze remained absentmindedly focused on his own thoughts, his head bowed.
Savoy smiled slightly and gave Little White a look that said, "You really didn't disappoint me."
"Frederick, is this meeting one of those that is held every so often?" Xiaobai raised his hand and asked Frederick the Great.
"Yes."
How often is it opened?
"I hold this meeting whenever I feel I need to explain something to you. It usually happens every six months to a year, but there have been periods when the city is relatively peaceful and there's nothing to report, such as when I haven't held one for almost ten years," Frederick the Great patiently explained to Xiaobai.
"Oh wow... then I guess I'm quite lucky..." Xiaobai nodded to himself.
"If there are no objections, then I will continue." After explaining to Xiaobai, Frederick the Great waited quietly for a while for the other Deep Sea Deans. Seeing that no one in the conference room spoke, she continued, "Actually, this matter is also related to the absence of Deep Sea Hindenburg, which we just mentioned. As we all know, although our city's Deep Sea Frigates were trained by us, most of us only provided a wisp of Deep Sea Dean's aura. The one who truly devoted the most time to training the Deep Sea Frigates was Deep Sea Hindenburg. Now, Deep Sea Hindenburg needs to recuperate for a period of time due to injuries. During this period, the training content of the Deep Sea Frigates cannot be guaranteed, and a replacement is needed."
"Deep-sea frigates? Let those crazy little fish play by themselves." Kamikaze, who had been lost in thought, finally spoke up when she heard Frederick the Great's words.
"Because the deep-sea frigates are mixed with the deep-sea aura of most of us, their mental state is not stable enough. If they cannot release their energy from time to time, they may start destroying the city indiscriminately, causing trouble for our lives."
"Sigh...what a troublesome creature." Kamikaze sighed and leaned against the wall without saying a word.
"...Therefore, we need a successor to help replace Hindenburg in the Deep Sea, and in the meantime, train the Deep Sea frigates and channel their excess energy," Frederick the Great said calmly. "If anyone wants to take the initiative to assume responsibility, they can raise their hand now. If no one steps forward, I have a nomination here for everyone's consideration."
After Frederick the Great finished speaking, he waited quietly for the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy to enthusiastically sign up.
And sure enough.
No one in the entire conference room raised their hand.
Although the Deepsea Commanders spent the entire day idly in their respective territories, it didn't mean they were so idle that they wanted to find something to do. Barbarossa was currently engrossed in playing cards and taking care of the Deepsea Hindenburg, so she couldn't possibly find the time to train a group of Deepsea frigates suffering from mania. Frederick the Great was said to only step out of the Black Spire when there was a major event, so she didn't have the opportunity to spend time with the Deepsea frigates. As for Savoy... she was in a weak state for half the day, so it was even more impossible for her to fight with the Deepsea frigates who were prone to getting angry at the slightest provocation.
If we really have to pick a possible candidate... it would probably be either Abyssal Zuikaku or Kamikaze. Although neither of them seems particularly willing to spend time with the Abyssal destroyers, at least their reasons are more compelling than those of the others.
Shiro silently watched Zuikaku and Kamikaze leaning against the wall, lost in thought.
—Of course, Xiaobai actually wanted to raise his hand just now.
After all, the three-digit number of deep-sea frigates near the Black Tower are the most troublesome combat force in the entire ruined city. If Xiaobai can get a legitimate opportunity to get close to them, he might be able to secretly trip them up and prevent them from exerting their combat power at crucial moments.
However, Xiaobai thought about it again and still didn't raise his hand. After all, he had only been in this city for a short time and had already caused quite a bit of trouble. If he were to go and serve a bunch of deep-sea frigates now, it would be too suspicious no matter how you looked at it... Besides, compared to Kamikaze and Deep-Sea Zuikaku, it was better for someone like him, a "Dean of the Deep Sea" who had just joined the ruined city, to stay away from the core combat force of the city, such as deep-sea frigates, and avoid suspicion.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai clenched his hands.
Ok.
As expected of me.
Reasonable and well-founded.
Convincing.
Then I'll touch it too.
"Since no one is willing to step forward, I will name someone," Frederick the Great said, soliciting opinions from the people in the conference room.
The deans of the deep-sea institute nodded, thinking that their chances of being selected were slim anyway.
then.
Frederick the Great nodded slowly, then raised his hand and extended his slender fingers.
It pointed to Xiaobai.
Chapter 2029 The Informant
“Patchina is a new resident of the city, and I propose that she take over from Hindenburg of the Deep Sea to be in charge of the daily training of the Deep Sea frigates,” Frederick the Great said slowly, pointing at Little White.
Frederick the Great finished speaking.
There was a few seconds of silence in the meeting room.
All the directors of the Deep Sea Academy immediately turned their attention to Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai pointed to himself, looking surprised.
"Huh? Me?" Little White was completely taken aback that Emperor Frederick the Great hadn't named Suzukaku Fukami and Kamikaze, but instead named her. She was momentarily confused and blinked dryly. "Uh... wait, Frederick, didn't you name Miss Suzukaku Fukami and Miss Kamikaze? Why did you name me...?"
"You do not want it?"
"Uh... it's not a matter of whether I want to or not... I'm just curious... after all, I've only just arrived in this city, so I probably don't have your trust yet, right?"
“As for reasons, I have them.” Frederick the Great nodded, lowered her hand, and slowly said, “Although you have only been in the city for a short time, your attitude since joining has been very sincere. And from what I understand, in a short period of time, you have also had many interactions with other members of the city and established good relationships—something that other members of the city have been unable to achieve even after decades, or even a hundred years.”
"Ah this..."
"Hindenburg of the Deep Sea has shown you great favor. As for Zuikaku of the Deep Sea, she told us about her profound relationship with you when you first came here," Frederick the Great explained to the others, raising his hand to his chest. "Kamikaze has also privately invited Miss Patina to stay at her residence, and Savoy even allowed Patina to enter her territory during the day..."
"Huh? Wait, I didn't know about the last one..." Upon hearing Frederick the Great's words, Xiao Bai's eyes widened in surprise. "When did that happen?"
"The day before yesterday."
"The day before yesterday?" Xiaobai frowned in confusion.
The day before yesterday was the day Xiaobai accidentally entered Savoy's territory and had a close conversation with her, but the other Deep Sea Deans probably don't know about that... Where did Frederick the Great get this information?
“It was Barbarossa who told me,” Frederick the Great explained to Little White. “That day, near sunset, Barbarossa was patrolling the city when she sensed heavy fire in Savoy’s territory. Concerned that you might have taken the wrong path and stumbled into Savoy’s territory, she went in to check the situation. She ran into Savoy and learned from her that you had just received a warm welcome from her and established a friendly relationship. Then she left unharmed.”
"Uh... I see." Little White nodded to himself, then tilted his head. "Wait a minute, didn't Barbarossa also walk into Savoy's territory unharmed?"
She is not unharmed.
"what?"
"Savoy and Barbarossa fought a long and fierce battle."
"..." Xiaobai was speechless, and she looked at Savoy's position.
Not far away, Savoy stuck out her pink tongue at Little White.
