Elder brother's garrison

"What? You noticed it from the beginning? Then why didn't you say so until now...?"

"I thought you would find out too, but I didn't expect you to be even more clueless than I imagined." With that, the Will of the Deep Sea walked back to the sofa, sat down slowly, snapped his fingers, and produced a cup of hot milk tea from the table, which he then picked up and drank.

The aroma of milk tea wafted towards Xiaobai.

Ok.

It's the flavor that Xiaobai likes to drink.

"Aren't you afraid that the Deep Sea Will might have revealed some important information in my conversation with Super Yamato...?"

“You don’t need to worry about that. That piece of cloth has been in your ship equipment space the whole time, so it can’t eavesdrop on or monitor your surroundings,” Deep Sea Will said while drinking milk tea. “And if you really have a tendency to leak information, I will interrupt you with emergency measures just like I did before.”

"...So reliable..."

"You're just too careless. You let your guard down so easily just because Frederick praised you a little." The Will of the Deep Sea said coldly, his face darkening.

"Uh... I, I'll reflect on my actions... I'm sorry..." Xiaobai lowered her head in shame, then quickly got up from the floor and sat down next to the Deep Sea Will. She rubbed her hands together and tried to get closer to the Deep Sea Will, saying, "But... Deep Sea Will, if I'm kept under Frederick's surveillance like this, what am I supposed to do in the future? Won't I be unable to tamper with those Deep Sea frigates, and will I really have to be their sparring partner...?"

"It's good for you to exercise occasionally." The Will of the Deep Sea glanced at Little White.

"……"noob.

"Anyway, you definitely can't do what you just did." The Deep Sea Will watched as Xiaobai's expression gradually became distressed. She put down her milk tea cup, crossed her legs, and slowly said to Xiaobai, "Because of its complex structure, the mental energy marker with surveillance capabilities has a very short duration. I guess it will only last for two or three days at most. You can wait until Frederick's mental energy terminal fails before you do it."

"It'll take... two or three days..." Xiaobai said dejectedly.

"..." The Will of the Deep Sea silently watched Xiaobai's distressed profile, its gaze slightly turning to one side, "...If you're in a hurry, there are other ways."

"Deep Sea Will, do you have a way to block this advanced mental energy mark?" Little White looked up at lightning speed, leaning towards Deep Sea Will with an expectant expression.

The Deep Sea Will grabbed Little White's chin with one hand and pushed Little White, who was almost glued to it, away from its face: "I can easily remove or destroy mental energy marks, but blocking them is not so simple."

"Can't you just cut off the signal...?"

“What’s the difference between that and destroying the mark?” The Deep Sea Will leaned back on the sofa and said to Little White, “For example, Frederick is now like a pervert who installed a camera in the women’s restroom, and you are the only person in the women’s restroom who discovered the camera. You can easily take the camera out, throw it in the trash can, or crush it, or even cut the camera’s network cable, but no matter what you do, you can’t avoid one outcome, which is that Frederick, who is watching you, will realize that you have discovered her spying.”

"What should we do then..."

"Just hold it in, at worst I won't go to the toilet."

"..." Xiaobai looked embarrassed. "Deep Sea Will, your example is too weird... Can you give me one that's not so embarrassing..."

“…” The Will of the Deep Sea tapped his chin with his fingers. “In short, you can’t do anything that would harm those deep-sea frigates, not even a little bit, and you can’t react in any way that you’re aware that Frederick is spying on you.”

"I...I'm confused..." Xiaobai covered her head, "Deep Sea Will, didn't you just say you had a way...?"

"?" The Will of the Deep Sea turned to look at Little White and said to her, "Of course I have a solution, but before that, I think you have a very serious misconception."

"Misconceptions?"

"I never said that the only way to hinder those deep-sea frigates is by harming them," the Deep Sea Will said to Little White.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xiaobai nodded earnestly, looking as if she were humbly seeking knowledge. "I'd like to hear more details!"

"Those deep-sea frigates... although their current state is very abnormal, they were originally just ordinary deep-sea creatures. The reason they have become like this is simply because their bodies are mixed with the auras of multiple Deep-Sea Deans, causing them to lose their minds." The Deep-Sea Will spoke to Little White, making a stirring gesture in mid-air. "Now, those four Deep-Sea Dean auras occupy their bodies, rotating like this."

"Oh... and then what?"

"You are now a member of this city, and you have been given the official position of training them. As a responsible deep-sea training officer, isn't it only natural for you to infuse your own aura into these deep-sea frigates to make them stronger?" the Deep Sea Will said to Xiaobai.

"It is only natural... but if we do this, won't the deep-sea frigates become even stronger? What's the point of doing this?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

"Idiot." The Will of the Deep Sea poked Little White's forehead. "Have you forgotten? Although you are not a true Deep Sea Dean, you are still one with me. Everything about you has an overwhelming sense of nobility compared to other deep-sea creatures. When your aura enters the body of the Deep Sea Frigate, the auras of the other Deep Sea Deans within the frigate will be completely suppressed by you. So your aura can devour them whenever you want."

"Ah! So that means... what if only my presence remains inside the deep-sea frigate..."

"They will then become your subordinates."

"Brilliant!" Little White looked at the Will of the Deep Sea in surprise, then suddenly realized and looked at it with admiration. "Turning enemies into friends, this method is really good!"

"If it's good, then use it. I only temporarily pulled you into the spiritual world this time. You're still standing there like an idiot in the real world. You should go back soon so Frederick doesn't get suspicious." The Will of the Deep Sea sighed, looked towards the empty side of the villa, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

"Okay, I'll go back now..." Xiaobai sat up from the sofa with confidence, just about to return to her body in the real world, when she suddenly stopped as if she remembered something and looked at the will of the deep sea again.

"...What's wrong?" the Deep Sea Will asked, its eyes closed.

"Deep Sea Will... Speaking of which, is your connection to Kamikaze's sudden inability to disobey my orders?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"...She only got what she deserved." The Will of the Deep Sea replied softly, "She clearly wasn't strong in terms of mental power, yet she casually sent her mental power into other people's bodies, trying to seduce those with stronger mental power than herself... The small backlash she suffered in the end was her lesson."

"It really is the Will of the Deep Sea..." Xiaobai smiled reassuringly at the Will of the Deep Sea. "Hmm... then I can rest easy. Thank you this time too!"

Xiao Bai's voice faded away.

"..." The will of the deep sea opened one eye and looked in the direction of Little White.

The spot where Xiaobai was standing was now empty.

Deep Sea Will opened its eyes, picked up the milk tea on the coffee table, and took a small sip.

"Gudu."

"Humph……"

"Hmph hmph hmph... Hmph hmph..."

In the quiet villa, Deep Sea Will held a teacup and hummed a song softly to himself.

There will be another chapter in about an hour.

Chapter 2037 Frederick the Great's Promise

When Xiaobai returned to her body in the real world, she felt a strong shaking.

"Admiral! Admiral! What's wrong... Admiral, please wake up..." A loud, worried, and panicked voice echoed in Xiaobai's ears.

Xiaobai groggily opened her eyes and saw a giant, sculpted face pressed against hers, its mature, narrow eyes glistening with tears.

"Super Yamato?" Xiaobai exclaimed.

"Admiral, you're finally awake, that's great..." Chao Yamato was relieved to see Shiro open his eyes and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Just now I……"

"Admiral, as soon as you touched the deep-sea frigate, you suddenly stopped moving. I called you Admiral, but you didn't respond. I thought something had happened to you..." Chao Da looked at Xiao Bai nervously.

"Ah...sorry, sorry..." Xiaobai snapped out of her daze, then apologized to Chaoda with a wry smile, "I'm sorry...I was just spacing out for a bit, but I'm fine now."

Little White stepped out of the giant's arms and looked around.

The surrounding deep-sea frigates floated on the water, slowly moving their massive bodies, and occasionally staring at Little White with their blood-red eyes.

"Admiral, we..."

"Shh." Xiaobai quickly gestured for Chaoda to be quiet before speaking, then looked down at the three tokens in her hand.

Frederick is now observing him through this thing, and he'd better think twice before having a conversation with the Super Yamato...

"Keep your voice down, don't scare the deep-sea frigates." Xiaobai smiled at Chaodahe, then walked to the nearest deep-sea frigate while holding the token in her hand.

Holding the token, the deep-sea frigate showed some agitation at Xiaobai's approach, but ultimately did not resist and let Xiaobai walk to the edge of its body.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hand and gently pressed it on the hull of the deep-sea frigate.

After being reminded by the will of the deep sea, Xiaobai will not damage the body of the deep sea frigate this time. On the contrary, she will not only not cause damage, but will even inject her aura into the body of the deep sea frigate.

Xiaobai is not a Dean of the Deep Sea in the strict sense, so she does not have the aura of a Dean of the Deep Sea. However, the Deep Sea Will had previously absorbed some free-floating high-quality Deep Sea aura and sealed it in Xiaobai's spiritual world. Now that so much time has passed, it has also been tainted with some of Xiaobai's essence.

A warm current surged from Xiaobai's body, flowing down his palm and into the body of the deep-sea frigate in front of him.

"Wow————"

"Snapped----"

The moment Xiaobai's aura entered the body of the deep-sea frigate, the frigate was struck as if by lightning. It slammed its massive tail, creating ripples on the water's surface, drawing the attention of the other deep-sea frigates around it.

Under the watchful eyes of the other deep-sea frigates, the one that had absorbed Xiaobai's aura began to tremble. It raised its head and let out a series of roars, its massive body swaying from side to side. Crackling sounds echoed incessantly on its sturdy steel armor, and as the armor shattered inch by inch, the deep-sea frigate's howls grew increasingly shrill.

"Huh?" Xiaobai withdrew her hand and looked at the deep-sea frigate in front of her in surprise.

The deep-sea frigate's reaction... is different from what I expected?

After absorbing my scent, it acted as if it had been stabbed, as if it was in pain...

"Ow—"

"Ow—"

"Awooooooo————"

The deep-sea frigate thrashed about with a howl, and soon its massive body was covered in thick, black blood. Its pitiful appearance and condition drew the attention of the other deep-sea frigates around it, and their gazes toward Little White gradually turned ferocious.

Xiaobai possesses tokens from three Deep Sea Deans, so the Deep Sea Frigates generally won't attack Xiaobai unless provoked. However, if they believe Xiaobai has done something to harm them, then the result is: "To hell with the tokens! Whoever dares to hit me, I'll charge at them!"

Seeing that the deep-sea frigates seemed to be heading towards Xiaobai, Chaoda quickly stood in front of Xiaobai and shielded the somewhat bewildered Xiaobai behind her.

"Admiral, be careful..." Chao Da said nervously, his eyes constantly moving between the surrounding deep-sea frigates.

However, at this time...

Suddenly.

The deep-sea frigate, which had absorbed Xiaobai's aura and was lying on the water's surface howling pitifully, seemed to have a strange tone in its cries. After its initial painful screams, the deep-sea frigate's movements on the surface lessened considerably. A burst of icy blue light emanated from the cracks in its shattered black steel armor, and then the rate of bleeding slowed significantly. The deep-sea frigate raised its fish head and called out loudly to the sky.

"Ow—"

"Ow~~~"

"Awoooooo~~~Awooooo!"

This time, the sound was much less shrill and painful, replaced by a strange, bittersweet sense of ease.

Hearing the strange shout from the deep-sea frigate, the other deep-sea frigates that were slowly approaching Xiaobai stopped and turned their empty and puzzled gazes to that particular deep-sea frigate.

"Admiral, what's going on?" Chao Dahe looked at the situation in confusion and asked Xiaobai in bewilderment.

"Uh... I don't know either..." Xiaobai scratched his head, looking puzzled. "I just..."

Xiaobai was about to explain to Chaoda.

In an instant.

A strange feeling welled up in Xiaobai's heart.

Xiao Bai subconsciously closed his mouth and looked towards the waterway behind him.

At the end of the waterway behind them, near the Black Tower, a figure slowly emerged from the tower's main gate and strolled towards them.

“Frederick…” Xiaobai recognized the person who walked out of the Black Tower and calmed down slightly.

Frederick the Great walked quietly toward Little White. As she passed by the deep-sea frigates, all the frigates that approached her lowered their heads and lay obediently on the surface of the water, not daring to utter a sound.

Frederick the Great finally stopped in front of Little White.

Frederick the Great's face was wrapped in white gauze, making it impossible for Xiaobai and Chaoda to see her expression.

Having the experience of facing Frederick the Great before, Super Da instinctively turned around and stood in front of Xiao Bai once again, cautiously staring at the silent Frederick the Great.

"Frederick, hello there, what brings you here..." Little White greeted Frederick the Great.

"Let me see," Frederick the Great said calmly. She looked up and rushed towards the blood-soaked deep-sea frigate in the distance, observing it for a moment before looking down at Little White again. "What were you doing just now?"

really.

Just as the Will of the Deep Sea said, Frederick the Great had been observing the situation on Xiaobai's side. As soon as he noticed what Xiaobai was secretly doing to the Deep Sea frigate, Frederick the Great rushed over immediately.

Xiao Bai immediately felt a sense of relief.

"Ah...it's like this, um...I just injected my deep-sea aura into the hull of that deep-sea frigate..."

"is it?"

"Yeah... I was thinking I might be able to strengthen it... but for some reason, after receiving my aura, it suddenly became very painful... Um... did I do something wrong in the process?" Little White honestly told Frederick the Great his thoughts, and even gave him a very innocent look.

—This doesn't need to be acted out.

After all, Xiaobai is telling the truth now.

Frederick the Great silently watched Little White for a while, then took a step towards Little White.

Super Big and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

However, Frederick the Great did not seem to have any intention of fighting. She silently walked past Xiaobai and went to the deep-sea frigate behind Xiaobai.

The howling of this deep-sea frigate had almost stopped. Now, whether it was exhausted or for some other reason, it was lying on the surface of the water, groaning and muttering in a low voice, looking rather pitiful.

Frederick the Great raised his hand and, ignoring the deep-sea frigate covered in blood, pressed it against its body, seemingly to confirm whether what Xiaobai had just said was true.
