Elder brother's garrison

"probably."

A group of admirals huddled together for warmth, murmuring amongst themselves.

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, one of the admirals exclaimed as if he had just realized something, "Do you guys remember Lu Yun?"

Upon hearing this voice, all the admirals present shuddered as if recalling a terrible nightmare: "That damned European?!"

"Yes, he's dead."

"He's been dead for a long time, I was about to forget him, why do you have to remind me of him..." A commander who seemed to have been hurt complained to the people around him, but then stopped midway through his sentence, "Uh... you mean?"

"Damn it, I remember Lu Yun is not only a dead seal, but also a girl-showing maniac."

"Damn it..." A group of admirals trembled as if they had discovered some truth of the world.

In that instant, the lazy admirals finally recalled the despair of being ruled and harmed by the world's number one seal.

Reality has already slapped them hard in the face.

"Could it be..."

"As expected..." A look of utter grief immediately appeared on the faces of the admirals. "That Seal Garrison... is coming back again?"

"No! I want to live for another two years!"

"Where are my nitroglycerin pills? Where are my nitroglycerin pills?!"

In an instant, throughout the hall, the admiral spoke of the man's return, his voices mingling with howls.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The little white dog on the second floor twitched its ears and looked at the floor with some curiosity.

"What's wrong with Xiaobai?" Lexington asked curiously, standing next to Xiaobai.

"Lexington...it seems a bit noisy downstairs," Xiaobai said. "What's going on downstairs?"

"Ah..." Lexington just smiled mysteriously. "It's nothing."

The ship girls' exceptional hearing makes it much easier for them to hear this kind of sound than for a novice. It's estimated that most of the ship girls present could hear most of the noise from downstairs.

But strangely enough, all the ship girls present also had rather peculiar smiles on their faces.

"What exactly happened?" Xiaobai asked, even more puzzled.

Just as she was about to ask more questions, a familiar voice called out to her, bringing her back to reality.

"Lu Lin." It was a soft yet spirited female voice.

Xiao Bai paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

In the distance, Ringo, dressed in a gorgeous red dress, stood quietly watching him, as if the shout he had just heard had not come from her.

"Oh, Ringo-neechan?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then Mu Yu's eager and friendly smile bloomed on Xiaobai's face.

Xiaobai walked up to Ringo and grabbed at Ringo's fair wrist, which was resting near her hip.

As always, Ringo kept her wrists apart, only letting Shiro grab her sleeve.

Xiaobai naturally took this as Ringo's shyness and didn't pay any attention to it. He just nodded and then glanced at Ringo's stunningly beautiful face several times.

It's rare to see someone this beautiful. Even if Ringo doesn't say anything, just standing here, she's the center of attention on the entire second floor.

I reckon even if she went to make a movie, she wouldn't need to care about acting skills or plot at all. She could just stand there and strike a few poses, and I'm sure there would be plenty of people who admire her beauty clutching their money and rushing into the movie theater.

"Ringo-neechan, you're here too?" Xiaobai felt that she must be one of the people who were clutching their money and rushing into the movie theater. She happily tugged at Ringo's sleeve and asked her.

"Hmm." A hint of gentleness appeared in Ringo's eyes, and she nodded. "Just arrived."

"Oh, that's great! Did Ringo help me with the task?" Xiaobai asked.

Ringo was silent for a moment, then looked at the hopeful look in Shiro's eyes and nodded: "Mm."

Xiaobai happily hugged Ringo's waist.

Compared to Mu Yu, Xiao Bai thinks Lin Qin is a million times better.

Ringo blushed imperceptibly, then gently pushed Shiro away before leading Shiro and a long line of ship girls into the interior of the second floor.

Just after Xiaobai and the ship girl had left, another black-haired girl slowly emerged from the second-floor staircase.

Luo Lian clung to the stairs, squinting through the gaps to look at Lin Qing, who was walking with Xiao Bai.

"Who... is that woman?" Luo Lian murmured, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Admiral... is that your good friend?" The warspite, who was being ridden on Luo Lian's shoulders, was extremely ashamed.

Luo Lian and Yan Zhan rushed from the hotel to the Admiral's Guild the moment the alarm rang and registered. However, Luo Lian, fearing an encounter with Xiao Bai, didn't go upstairs after registering, waiting for Xiao Bai to appear.

Unexpectedly, this wait led Luo Lian to see something she cared about quite a bit.

"Yes."

"That's... amazing." Warspite thought for a long time before finally managing to utter these words.

War-weary initially thought Luo Lian's words were just impressive in the conventional sense, but the scale of the battle was far beyond what a few words could describe.

"Really?" Luo Lian didn't react much; her mind was completely occupied by the woman in red walking with Xiao Bai.

Luo Lian instinctively felt that this woman was far more dangerous in every sense than anyone she had ever met.

Chapter 434 War Weariness, You Must Not Understand

Luo Lian gripped the stairs tighter, her ten beautiful nails scratching and scraping as if she could tear through the sense of crisis in her heart with a single stroke.

"That woman is indeed very beautiful. Luo Lian has never seen anyone so beautiful in her life. It's as if she jumped out of a CG, and there's not a single flaw in her appearance."

However, Luo Lian is not the kind of person who would be easily captivated by someone's appearance.

Luo Lian would carefully consider any creature that came close to Xiao Bai, even if it was just a dog.

"Hmm..." Luo Lian pondered carefully, trying to figure out where that woman came from.

"Oh my, isn't this little sister Luo Lian?" Just as Luo Lian was still lost in thought, a man's lewd voice rang out from behind her.

Luo Lian and Zhan Yan beneath her turned around and looked towards the staircase leading to the first floor.

Mu Yu, dressed in a white military uniform and carrying a briefcase, looked towards Luo Lian with surprise in her eyes: "Long time no see! Have you graduated already?"

"Mm," Luo Lian replied calmly.

"Eh? Admiral, you know the Governor-General?" Warspite listened to Luo Lian's reaction with surprise.

Warspite is a ship girl created by Luo Lian during her graduation construction. She knows nothing about Luo Lian's past. She only knows that her admiral can be used to make soup... cough, no, she only knows that her admiral has such a wild imagination that he might be able to save the world. She also just found out that her admiral actually knows a super admiral who is so great that he can go to heaven. As a result, one surprise after another, Luo Lian actually has some connection with the governor.

A subtle, strange feeling of waking up as a rich second-generation heir instantly swept over the war-weary heart.

“He helped me enroll in the Naval Academy,” Luo Lian said, nodding to Mu Yu. “Greetings, Governor.”

"Hello." Mu Yu looked at the two ladies standing one above the other, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Whether anyone poses a hidden threat to Xiaobai and to prevent my presence from being exposed..."

"We're spying." Warspite, clinging to the admiral's leg as he rode on her shoulders, told the truth with a hint of helplessness.

Luo Lian remained silent, seemingly acknowledging the fact.

"Hahahaha..." Mu Yu nodded as he walked up the stairs. "Little White Sister is here too. Oh dear, I went to the bar next door to chat with a pretty lady for a while, and I didn't expect it to sound the alarm like this, hahaha. Speaking of which, I should give Little White Sister a mission."

“…Xiao Bai has already left with someone else.” Luo Lian patted the war-weary beneath her and rolled off her steadily.

"Huh?!" Mu Yu's expression froze instantly. "Who did he go with?!"

When registering, the governor had already determined the admiral he would be in charge of. Afterwards, the governor would be responsible for everything that the admiral did and all the tasks that he was assigned in the temporary sea area.

Which colleague stole my job?

“A beautiful woman in a red dress,” Luo Lian said.

Luo Lian's description of the characteristics was quite simple, yet exceptionally direct.

Mu Yu's aura vanished instantly, and he clutched his forehead, stammering, "Uh... so it was him..."

Mu Yu felt that she might lose out because of her looks.

"do you know her?"

"Yes, the governor of the Inland Governor's Office is named Ringo." Mu Yu sighed. "If it's Ringo, then there's nothing I can do. I guess it was Little White who asked for it herself."

As Mu Yu spoke, she carried her briefcase and went up to the second floor.

"Is he a good man?"

"He's a good person in some ways."

"Some kind of meaning?" Luo Lian's words to Mu Yu sounded a bit strange.

"..." Mu Yu shook her head, "He's a good person."

"Oh." Luo Lian finally felt a little relieved.

Mu Yu seemed quite disappointed at losing custody of Xiao Bai. He looked at Luo Lian and then remembered her: "How long have you been at the Naval University?"

"It's been a few months, hasn't it?"

"Graduation already?" Mu Yu was shocked.

"Mm." Luo Lian nodded.

"Impressive." Mu Yu chuckled. "You came here to receive a mission, right?"

"Ah."

“You ordinary admirals have to go to the middle area to grab missions on the second floor.” Mu Yu pointed to the middle area on the second floor, where there was a huge blackboard covered with all sorts of missions. “But little sister Luo Lian, I happen to be free right now. How about I help you get a mission? Our governor will assign missions based on the strength of your admiral's naval base, with the most generous rewards and the most suitable difficulty. You won’t have to compete with those admirals.”

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, the eyes of the war-weary person behind Luo Lian lit up immediately.

This is an incredible benefit! To earn above-average pay without putting in much effort is a dream come true.

The missions for ordinary admirals are posted on the large blackboard in the center of the second floor. Anyone who wants to take one can simply take it down. Each person can only take one mission at a time, so competing with others in full view of everyone to grab the most cost-effective mission is quite an achievement.

Warspite finally experienced the thrill of the back door, nodding as she looked at her admiral.

"No need, thank you." However, Luo Lian's next sentence completely stunned Yan Zhan. Without much thought, Luo Lian rejected Mu Yu's suggestion and bowed to Mu Yu, "I can go over there."

"Oh, is that so? Good luck then." Mu Yu didn't react much to being rejected and maintained her smile.

Luo Lian nodded, then bowed to Mu Yu, bid him farewell, and walked into the central area of ​​the second floor with a bewildered Zhan Yan.

At this moment, the central area on the second floor was full of people. A small portion of them were admirals who were already on the second floor, gathered in front of the blackboard, pondering their missions. The majority of the rest were the ship girls that Shiro had brought up.

All sorts of ship girls were gathered in twos and threes, sticking together excitedly chatting. The girls' voices filled the entire floor like cotton candy.

Xiao Bai was standing on the edge of the second floor with the woman in red from before. The woman in red was sitting at a table and a chair, her back straight, her serene and beautiful appearance captivating.

"Looking at it this way, her chest is actually quite small." Luo Lian finally found Lin Qing's weakness because of her actions.

At this moment, Ringo and Shiro were chatting about something, seemingly discussing the task to be given to Shiro. This should be the privilege of the top ten garrison that Mu Yu mentioned earlier.

War-weary looked at Xiaobai with envy, her mind filled with incomprehension as to why Luo Lian wouldn't accept Mu Yu's help.

Luo Lian huddled in the corner, quietly watching Xiao Bai and Lin Qing talk.

Because of Xiaobai's flamboyant appearance, there are quite a few people staring at her on the second floor, and Luo Lian is no exception. Luo Lian felt that even if one of Xiaobai's ship girls saw her, she would just ignore her as a passerby, so she didn't hide her figure too much.

After all, when there are so many people, trying too hard to hide yourself will only make you more conspicuous.

—Then Luo Lian found herself being targeted by a ship girl with long, intelligent-looking blue hair.

Standing next to Xiaobai, Quincy opened his beautiful big eyes and, as if unlocked, instantly aimed at Luo Lian in the crowd.

She stared at Luo Lian for a moment, then tilted her head slightly, looking a little strange.

Luo Lian's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't care too much. Anyway, there were dozens of people on the second floor staring at Xiao Bai like her. So what if she was seen? She figured the ship girls wouldn't care.

Then Luo Lian made another mistake.

The blue-haired ship girl stared at Luo Lian for a while, then slowly reached out and touched Xiao Bai's body, seemingly wanting to shake her admiral and say something like, "Admiral, look, there's someone watching you."

—After all, the intuition and thoughts of a fool are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Luo Lian watched in alarm as Quincy's white hand reached out to touch Xiao Bai's body.

Then, Lexington gently stopped Quincy's small hand and shook her head at Quincy: "The Admiral is talking to the Governor-General, don't disturb him."

Quincy thought for a while, then nodded, seemingly realizing that Luo Lian might just be a random passerby, and then stopped looking at Luo Lian.

Lexington also turned his gaze to Luo Lian, and then smiled at her.
