Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai's field of vision instantly broadened and became a little clearer.

"Phew...finally, we've reached the depths of the sea..." Little White stepped on the water, thinking she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but when she looked up ahead, she was stunned by what she saw, her expression one of astonishment. "Huh?! Eh??? This, where is this..."

"What interesting expressions." Savoy stood to the side, hands behind his back, watching the astonished expressions on Little White and Super Big's faces, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. "So? Seeing this scene before you... are you satisfied?"

"This..." Xiaobai was speechless for a moment and could only stare blankly at the scene in front of her.

Kazuya stood there, mouth agape, stunned.

Xiaobai was genuinely shocked.

The scene that appeared before Xiaobai at this moment was completely unexpected.

Xiao Bai was even certain that whether he saw this scene himself, or the Hao Ding Admiral on the shore, or the Mu family, the reaction would be the same.

That was shock.

The kind of shock that shatters one's worldview.

—This was something Xiaobai never expected.

—Unexpectedly, the area inside this black mist wall... is not the sea.

Instead, it was a dark, dilapidated, and vast ruin of a floating city.

Savoy lifted the hem of her birdcage dress with both hands, walked to the front, turned her back to the urban ruins behind her, lowered her head slightly to the astonished Xiaobai and Chaoda, gave a graceful and obedient bow, and spoke softly.

"Welcome to our kingdom."

"...outsiders."

Steamed Egg Custard

Chapter 1955 The Touching Little White

The floating city that appeared behind the wall of black mist was of an unusually large size.

At a glance.

Before Xiaobai's eyes, all that stretched to the horizon, were dilapidated and towering city buildings.

The dilapidated buildings were piled up densely together, but dozens of wide waterways were clearly visible in the field of vision. The waterways converged from all directions to the city center, where towering overpasses stood. Most of the dilapidated overpasses had broken in the middle, with peeling cement and protruding steel bars. The broken and dry bridge surfaces supported each other in mid-air, intentionally or unintentionally surrounding a tall black spire in the distance.

"This is... a city?" Xiaobai stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, stammering for a long time before finally managing to utter the words.

"Hehehe... What an interesting expression." Savoy smiled contentedly, bowed to Shiro and Yamato, and rose gracefully. "That's right, outsiders, beyond this wall of black mist lies our kingdom... This is ruins, this is a city, this is the land of eternity... How does it feel?"

"This...this is truly astonishing..." Little White looked at Savoy and replied honestly.

Looking at the city before me.

Xiao Bai's thoughts drifted a little far away.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but recall a rather interesting proposition he had seen in his textbook when he was still in elementary school.

That is, since the end of the era, modern humans and deep-sea amphibians are both races with a history of five hundred years. Why is it that human society has been able to make continuous progress in these five hundred years, slowly developing prosperous cities and technology, and reviving the prosperity of ancient humans, while the deep-sea amphibians have remained in the depths of the sea, and their social structure has not made any progress from five hundred years ago to the present?

That's how Xiaobai answered in his textbook at the time.

Unlike modern humans who have inherited their heritage, the Deepsea Abominations are almost indistinguishable from beasts—their most distinctive feature is that they have no technology points and no enlightenment value.

To put it nicely, people call it venerating strength and adhering to primitive principles. But to put it bluntly, it's a lack of spirituality and an inability to accept education.

This race has no future.

Even if a deep-sea species can produce a highly intelligent and wise deep-sea dean every few years, the deep-sea species cannot accomplish anything significant with such a small number of deep-sea deans. At most, they can only occupy small areas in the vast ocean, corrupt the waters into deep-sea territories, and then stir up trouble around the waters.

That's it.

……

My thoughts drifted back.

Is that all...?

Xiao Bai couldn't help but give a wry smile.

After stepping out of the black mist wall and seeing this dilapidated city, Xiao Bai finally understood completely why the Deep Sea Zuikaku had solemnly told him that it knew nothing about Chapter Eight when it sought his help…

Xiaobai really knew nothing.

After all... who could have predicted that your deep-sea amphibious ships in Chapter 8 would be so capable, able to directly break through racial limitations and establish cities on the sea?

Xiao Bai was truly impressed.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bai's expression gradually returned to normal.

"...I thought your shocked expression would last longer." Savoy, who had been observing Xiaobai's expression from the side, said with a teasing smile.

"Actually, I'm still quite surprised..." Xiaobai shook her head and looked at Savoy with emotion, "I never expected that behind this wall of black mist would be a floating city."

"Your seas aren't like this, are they?" Savoy asked Little White, his hands behind his back.

“Hmm…” Xiaobai nodded, “Compared to this, the deep sea outside is just an ordinary sea surface. Even if there are some differences between deep-sea territories, it’s just a difference in the intensity of the deep-sea aura.”

"Heh... So many years have passed, and it's still the same as before." Savoy chuckled and murmured.

"Hmm?" Xiaobai sensed the information in Savoy's words and looked over curiously. "From what Miss Savoy said, it seems you've been to the outer seas before?"

However, Savoy didn't seem prepared to answer Xiaobai's question.

After Xiaobai asked the question, Savoy acted as if she hadn't heard anything and walked into the sea city as if nothing had happened. As she walked, she raised her fair arm to Xiaobai and gently called out, "Come on, I'll take you to find the Deep Sea Zuikaku."

"Oh oh oh..." Little White quickly summoned Super Yamato and followed Savoy's steps.

The sea city behind the black fog wall is enormous, but judging from the extent of damage to the buildings, it appears to be a city that has been in ruins for a very long time.

After the passage of time, many of the high-rise buildings in the city have collapsed or fallen. Looking around, the buildings in the high-rise area are leaning to one side or the other. Very few buildings can stand upright on the water, and even if they do, most of them have become dilapidated.

Xiaobai walked along the empty waterway, looking around at the ruins of the high-rise buildings. She quickly noticed that the architectural style of these collapsed buildings was quite unique, clearly different from that of modern human society. The building materials were mainly various metals, with very little use of cement, bricks, tiles, glass, or other building materials.

"It's so futuristic..." Xiaobai murmured softly, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings. "What were these buildings originally used for?"

“Who knows? It was already like this when I came here,” Savoy replied crisply after hearing Little White’s murmur.

"Eh? Miss Savoy isn't a local?"

"Hehehe, I never said I was born here..."

"Oh... you're from out of town~"

"Hehehe... I didn't stay here because I wanted to..."

"...Oh? Miss Savoy, do you have something you can't say about?" Xiaobai looked at Savoy curiously.

"...I won't tell you yet, because you'll find out sooner or later." Savoy said, then turned to look at Little White, suddenly revealing a mysterious smile. "You're new here, so you must have a lot to ask, right? Instead of asking me all sorts of questions, don't you think you should ask some more worthwhile ones?"

“Oh, oh…that makes sense.” Xiaobai nodded quickly. She looked around the ruined city and then asked curiously, “Miss Savoy, although this city is very large…it seems a bit deserted to me.”

“It’s quiet here, that’s for the best.” Savoy paused slightly before speaking to Little White, “Because here…only the Deep Sea Dean and the Deep Sea Frigate are here.”

"Oh... um?" Xiaobai nodded, but soon she felt that Savoy's words were strange. "Only Dean Shenhai... what does that mean? Aren't you two here, Miss Savoy and Miss Shenhai Zuikaku? Uh... could it be..."

Little White opened his mouth wide and looked at Savoy.

“There are far more than just two Deep Sea Deans here,” Savoy said to himself with amusement as he stopped.

"Huh? Huh?? Really? Really!" Xiaobai's eyes widened in astonishment.

“Hehehe…” Savoy chuckled to himself, but unusually, he didn’t turn around to observe Little White’s surprised expression. “In our kingdom, there are a total of six Deep Sea Deans.”

"Six...six people..." Xiaobai's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Good guy.

I realized I had underestimated Chapter 8.

There are a whopping six Deans of the Deep Sea in this eighth chapter...

This is so awesome!

“Miss Savoy, are you... are you telling the truth?” Xiaobai asked Savoy to confirm.

"I'm going to take you to see them now, and you can check for yourself whether it's true or not," Savoy said to Little White without turning around.

"Huh? So suddenly? I, I haven't prepared a gift yet..." Xiaobai was immediately flustered.

"Hehehe... No need for gifts or anything like that." Savoy chuckled, turned around, and looked at Xiaobai with a peculiar smile. "You should think carefully about the reasons you'll give them later."

"Huh? Reason? What reason?"

"The reason why I let you see the auspicious cranes of the deep sea."

“Miss Deep Sea Zuikaku…? What happened to her?” Xiaobai felt that she had suddenly gleaned some information from Savoy’s words, and couldn’t help but ask.

“Zuikaku from the deep sea…she is being punished now.”

"be punished?"

"Yes, they're being punished."

What punishment will you receive?

“Shenhai Ruihe is the Deep Sea Dean in charge of security in the outer seas. Some time ago, she left without a word with a group of Deep Sea frigates, and then returned alone. When the other Deep Sea Deans asked about the whereabouts of the Deep Sea frigates, she pretended to be silent and refused to explain the details to them.” Savoy glanced at Xiaobai and smiled slightly. “Since she herself is unwilling to explain for some reason, then she can only obediently accept her punishment… Hehehe… Deep Sea frigates are, after all, a valuable force in this city, our common property. Now they’ve just disappeared so casually. Even if she is the Deep Sea Dean, she still has to give an explanation. So now she is being held in solitary confinement under the supervision of the other Deep Sea Deans.”

"Uh..." Xiaobai's forehead broke out in a sweat after being stared at by Savoy, and he immediately lowered his head and stiffly swallowed.

Xiao Bai understood.

No wonder the Deep Sea Zuikaku said it had something to take care of...

No wonder the deep-sea cranes haven't appeared these past few days...

No wonder……

So, the deep-sea heron was cleaning up its own mess...

Xiao Bai had previously suspected that Shenhai Ruihe was going to renege on its debt, but after Savoy's explanation, Xiao Bai felt both embarrassed and warm inside.

This is Miss Deep Sea Crane.

What a reliable person...

Chapter 1956: Hundreds of Enemies

Within seconds, Xiaobai was moved by Shenhai Zuikaku's actions and became a fan of Shenhai Zuikaku.

"The whereabouts of those deep-sea frigates must be related to you, right?" Savoy looked at Xiaobai, a slight smile playing on her lips, and suddenly asked Xiaobai.

"Ah? This...this..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell them." Savoy seemed to have figured out the answer she wanted from Xiaobai's behavior. She turned around with a smile and continued leading the way, saying, "When Shenhai Zuikaku came back that day, he looked all mysterious. Today you told me you were looking for Shenhai Zuikaku, so I guessed you were involved in that matter... Hehehe... How interesting, how interesting..."

Savoy said "interesting" twice and then fell silent.

“…Then thank you, Miss Savoy.” Xiaobai looked at Savoy’s retreating figure, thought for a moment, and thanked her.

“If you really want to thank me… then make me happy,” Savoy said with a light laugh. “Of course, I only helped you keep this a secret so I could see something more interesting. I don’t need your thanks… but if you really want to do something, then please me with your next actions, satisfy me, make me happy…”

“…Miss Savoy, why does that sound so lewd?”

"?"

"Ahem, ahem." Xiaobai coughed quickly, then looked earnestly at Savoy, "In short, I will do my best not to disappoint you, Miss Savoy."

“…I’ll look forward to it,” Savoy said lightly.

“Um… however, Miss Savoy, I have a small question about the city, because it might be related to my performance later on, so I wonder if you could answer it for me a little…” Xiaobai thought for a moment and continued to ask Savoy.

“Go on,” Savoy nodded.

“Miss Savoy, you just said that Miss Zuikaku is in charge of the outer sea area, right... Does that mean that only Miss Zuikaku knows what happened in the outer sea area?” Shiro asked Savoy.

“That’s true.” Savoy nodded. “The vast majority of the Deep Sea Deans stay in this city and won’t leave.”

"Huh... so you're a shut-in?"

"..."

"I understand." Xiaobai nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What are their tempers like? They won't suddenly hit me, will they?"

"Hehehe...that depends on your performance. Under normal circumstances, they are very welcoming to outsiders..." Savoy said to Xiaobai with a light laugh, especially when he mentioned the words "outsider," he intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the words.

"……"noob.

It seems that among all the Deepsea Deans responsible for the outer seas, only Deepsea Zuikaku knows about the matters concerning the exploration of the eighth chapter's sea area by the Newbie Town Guard and Haoding Town Guard... As for the others, according to Isavoy, they seem to be reclusive Deepsea Deans living in this ruined city, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world...
