"Is there?" asked the Deep Sea Zuikaku.

"Who would play four twos with two aces?" Kamikaze said with a dark expression.

"Wouldn't that make it come out faster?" Deep Sea Zuikaku asked again.

"Hey you..."

“It’s better to separate them,” Barbarossa explained, looking up.

“Oh…” Akagi lowered her head, pinched her chin and thought seriously. After a while, she nodded, “Indeed.”

"Hey! Why do you argue with me when I say you made a mistake, but when Barbarossa says you made a mistake, you reflect on it?" Kamikaze huffed.

"Of course she's more authoritative."

"Because I am more authoritative."

Barbarossa and Zuikaku spoke to Kamikaze at the same time.

"You...I...you!" Kamikaze felt his blood pressure was about to explode from anger at these two.

Xiaobai and Chaoda watched the three people from a distance, sighing inwardly.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but it seems that after Barbarossa was stripped of her position by Frederick the Great, the other Deep Sea Deans became much more relaxed when they played with her, and their relationships progressed by leaps and bounds.

Knew it.

A position like Barbarossa's is like a tattletale classmate set up by the homeroom teacher in elementary school; it's difficult for someone in that position to integrate into the group.

so good.

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly again.

"Admiral! You're back!" came the voice of Deep Sea Hindenburg from beside Xiaobai. Xiaobai turned around and saw Deep Sea Hindenburg, covered in bandages, running towards him with a silly grin on his face like a mummy.

"Huh? Deep-sea Hindenburg? What's with all those bandages on you...?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

“It was Savoy who helped me get entangled!” Hindenburg pointed to a spot not far away.

Following Hindenburg's finger, Xiaobai saw Savoy whistling in the corner of the hall, his nimble fingers twirling a thick roll of bandage.

Sensing Xiaobai's gaze, Savoy turned his head and curled the corners of his mouth at Xiaobai.

"You're back? Chief Patrolman?" Savoy walked towards Little White step by step, his hands behind his back.

"Savoy, you..."

"Hehehe, it's because she's so energetic that I was worried her wounds would reopen, so I specially wrapped them with several layers."

"This kind of activity is inconvenient..."

"That's good too, let her get some rest."

"Hey."

Looking at Savoy's wicked grin, at Hindenburg's noisy, swift movements despite his thick bandages, and at the clattering of playing cards, Xiaobai felt a bit confused.

This deep-sea city...

When did it become so lively?

Chapter 2140 Stealing the Metal Plate

the next day.

Just as the sky above the deep-sea city began to brighten, Xiaobai, lying in the tent, sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from Frederick the Great's crystal ball in the hall.

"Phew, just as I thought..." Little White muttered to himself as he sat up in the tent, having not slept all night.

Xiao Bai first turned his head to look at his side. Savoy was curled up on the other side of the tent like a kitten, fast asleep.

Xiaobai lifted the tent flap and climbed out of the tent.

The hall was quiet.

After last night's wild fun, most of the other Deep Sea Deans were resting, except for Barbarossa, who stood beside the crystal ball, staring at it silently with his head down.

The crystal ball in front of Barbarossa gleamed faintly.

"Miss Barbarossa...you're up so early." Little White walked over and greeted Barbarossa.

“It’s a habit.” Barbarossa shook his head and pointed to the crystal ball placed in front of the two of them. “I woke up when I felt this react.”

"Ah...that's true." Xiaobai nodded, her gaze fixed on the crystal ball. "So what did Frederick say?"

“I didn’t look at it.” Barbarossa continued to shake his head, his gaze calm. “I’m no longer qualified to have any contact with this. You come and see.”

"Oh, you don't need to be so hard on yourself..."

"Place your hand on the crystal ball and channel some mental energy into it, and you'll see the thoughts Frederick is conveying," Barbarossa said, pointing to the crystal ball.

"Ok."

Seeing that Barbarossa seemed genuinely unwilling to touch the crystal ball, Xiaobai stepped forward and, under Barbarossa's gaze, reached out and touched the crystal ball.

The instant my fingertips touched the crystal ball.

A surge of spiritual energy rapidly entered Xiaobai's mind and spread out in the blink of an eye.

at the same time.

"Come here." Frederick the Great's voice rang in Little White's ear.

There was only one word.

But it felt incredibly real, as if Frederick the Great himself was speaking right next to Little White.

Xiao Bai withdrew his hand, shrank his neck, and looked to his side.

“What a realistic message…” Little White muttered, looking at Barbarossa, “It’s like it was being whispered in my ear.”

Frederick the Great's use of the crystal ball to transmit messages utilizes mental power, which is essentially similar to the working principle of the Admiral Network.

How awesome.

Frederick the Great.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Frederick the Great was probably the most brilliant person she had ever seen among the Deep Sea Academy deans in terms of mastering mental power.

“Frederick called me over,” Little White said to Barbarossa.

“Then go ahead,” Barbarossa nodded. “Come back soon.”

"Hmm." Little White stretched and nodded with a smile at Barbarossa.

Under Barbarossa's watchful gaze, Little White walked out of the hall and headed towards the black spire.

As Xiaobai walked, she looked at the road in front of her and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

really.

Frederick the Great contacted him so quickly.

The dozens of runic scripts I gave Frederick the Great yesterday should be almost memorized by now. She's probably eager for me to teach her the next batch of runic scripts. It's no wonder she's so impatient to learn them. After all, Frederick the Great thinks that once she learns the runic scripts, she might be able to understand the contents of the metal plate at the top of the tower and gain an even more powerful buff.

pity.

Frederick the Great ultimately could not achieve his wish.

Now that Xiaobai knows the effect of this metal plate, even for the sake of the ship girls on the shore in Chapter 8, Xiaobai can no longer let Frederick the Great monopolize the power of that metal plate. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity when Frederick the Great summoned her to the Black Spire, she is determined to steal that metal plate!

It's a really simple yet incredibly useful plan.

Xiao Bai inwardly praised his flawless plan.

When you have a goal in mind, you'll walk faster.

Soon, Xiaobai arrived in front of the black spire. As soon as the deep-sea frigates in front of the tower saw Xiaobai, they all looked up and shouted in a panic, wishing they could hide behind the tower, afraid of being looked at by Xiaobai.

"Good morning, everyone." Xiaobai greeted the deep-sea frigates with a friendly smile. "I have something to do this time, so I won't be playing with you. Be good, okay?"

"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..."

As the deep-sea frigates watched Little White approach, they let out low growls, lying prone on the water's surface like a pack of wolves that had been completely tamed.

Little White walks into the black spire.

When Xiaobai reached the floor where the conference room was located, he found Frederick the Great standing at the bottom of the stairs to greet him, a rare sight for him.

"Good morning, Frederick." Little White greeted Frederick the Great.

"Good morning," Frederick the Great said.

"Did you call me here so early so that I could report on yesterday's events?" Xiaobai asked Frederick the Great with a smile.

“…You can tell me about it,” Frederick the Great said after a moment of silence.

"Shall we talk in the conference room?" Xiaobai looked towards the open conference room door.

"Yes," Frederick the Great nodded.

Xiao Bai and Frederick the Great entered the conference room one after the other.

"Nothing happened in the Deepsea City yesterday. All the Deepsea Deans were at my house, and no one was fighting," Xiaobai said to Frederick the Great.

"I understand." Frederick the Great nodded. She paused for a moment, opened her mouth towards Little White, then stopped halfway through and closed it.

Although Frederick the Great still exuded his usual dignified and aloof aura, his actions just now revealed how impatient he was for Xiaobai's next move.

Frederick the Great wanted Little White to continue teaching her runic script.

"Ah, speaking of which, I don't think I've taught you the rune font yet," Xiaobai said.

"Yes." Frederick the Great nodded.

“Then let me go take a look at the top of the tower…” Little White had just opened his mouth when Frederick the Great reached out and handed him a mudstone slab with twenty or thirty brand-new runic characters written on it. “Huh?”

“I want you to teach me these things today,” Frederick the Great said calmly.

"what……"

Is there anything you don't know how to do?

"No, not really... I recognize them all." Xiaobai nodded, then took the stone slab and looked at the crooked runes on it. "This... did you just make it?"

"Ah."

"Alright..." Xiaobai sighed, "Then let's hurry up..."

The job Xiaobai did for Frederick the Great was essentially a literacy teacher. She didn't need to have a deep understanding of runic languages; she just needed to tell Frederick the Great the meanings of the runic characters she knew. And for the reasons mentioned before, Xiaobai didn't need to fake it when teaching people to read. Even if she taught Frederick the Great all the meanings of the runic characters, she still wouldn't be able to understand the metal plate because she lacked knowledge of runic strings.

Xiaobai simply explained the meaning of the runes on the mudstone to Frederick the Great and then returned the mudstone to her.

Frederick the Great lowered his head, holding the stone slab, and earnestly reviewed the characters that Xiaobai had just taught him.

"Frederick," Little White said while Frederick the Great was studying, "I want to go to the top of the tower."

"Hmm." Frederick the Great nodded, then put down the stone slab and prepared to take Little White upstairs.

"Hey, you don't need to follow me!" Xiaobai quickly raised his hand.

"?" Frederick the Great stopped.

"Didn't I just teach you so many rune scripts? Now focus on memorizing them." Little White smiled at Frederick the Great. "I know the way up, and there's no lock on it. I can go by myself."

“…Hmm.” Frederick the Great was silent for a moment, then nodded, seemingly agreeing with what Xiaobai said. “Go ahead.”

Xiao Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm not going to the top of the tower for any good reason this time; I absolutely cannot let Frederick the Great come up with me.

While Frederick the Great was reviewing the runic language, Little White went upstairs alone and followed the path he had taken to the top of the spire.

The familiar black iron walls, the familiar windowless walls, and the familiar metal plate placed in the center of the room, emitting a faint glow.

This precious metal plate is just sitting here!

It's easy for beginners!

"Phew... Keep calm, keep calm." Xiaobai patted his chest and walked to the metal plate.

Perhaps Frederick the Great had too high hopes for Xiaobai, or perhaps the other Deep Sea Deans in Shenhai City had no interest in the metal plate whatsoever, so Frederick the Great never considered the possibility that the metal plate might be lost, which is why Xiaobai came to this room so simply and alone.

seriously.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiaobai and Frederick the Great were the two leaders of opposing factions, Xiaobai's conscience would be troubled by his betrayal of Frederick the Great's trust in him.

But while we may condemn it, we must still do what needs to be done.
