Elder brother's garrison

laugh--

The heavy doors of the Spire Conference Room were pushed open, and as Xiaobai entered the room, he looked up and saw Frederick the Great's figure on the wall at the far end of the room.

Frederick the Great was indeed here.

At this moment, Frederick the Great was standing motionless in the conference room with his back to the door.

Although Xiaobai did not make a sound when he entered the conference room, the door was extremely heavy and the sound of pushing it open was not small. Even though the sound of pushing the door could be clearly heard by Frederick the Great and even stirred up a slight air wave behind him, Frederick the Great remained motionless and quiet, standing like a statue.

Instead of greeting Frederick the Great immediately, Xiao Bai stared intently at Frederick the Great's back through the lens of the combat power tester.

This is a great opportunity!

When using these combat glasses, because you have to keep your eyes on the target, it is easy for the target with a keen sense of five senses to detect you. At this moment, Frederick the Great is facing away from me, so wouldn't this be a free opportunity for me to observe him?

Xiao Bai used the appraisal on Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great's clothes were tattered and thin; his tattered military uniform and bandages clung to his skin, accentuating his beautiful, voluptuous figure. Xiaobai stared intently at Frederick the Great, and the image in her glasses quickly began to shimmer with a snow-like quality as her gaze focused. After only a few seconds, the snowflakes faded amidst Xiaobai's anxious anticipation, finally transforming into glittering data points that floated beside Frederick the Great.

Authentication successful!

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the attributes floating next to Frederick the Great.

Target ship type: Deep-sea battleship

Ship equipment grade: 6

Lv: 125

Firepower: 380

Armor value: 150

Airborne: 200

......"

The data floating around Frederick the Great were all perfectly obedient, and only after Xiaobaizi carefully read all the data and shifted his gaze elsewhere did these data surrounding his vision slowly disappear.

at last……

Finally, we see Frederick the Great's attributes...

Xiao Bai felt a weight lifted from his heart, but instead of feeling any joy, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

That's it?

In Xiaobai's mind, Frederick the Great, as the only ultimate deep-sea dean who had overwhelmed the prototype combat power tester, and also the one who was praised by the other deep-sea deans in the deep-sea city, should have had top-notch attributes, even if her paper data was not as good as his. However, judging from the combat power tester, Frederick the Great's attribute data was quite disappointing.

Hmm... Well, Frederick the Great's stats... If you say she's weak, she's definitely not weak. After all, with those stats, she can truly dominate the entire deep-sea city and hold her own against super-powerful monsters with exceptionally high stats.

disappointment.

In short, I'm very disappointed.

At this moment, Xiaobai had a strange feeling that he had been outsmarting thin air all along.

Are the Deep Sea Cranes lying to me?

It should be impossible.

I'm in the same boat as Akami Zuikaku and the others, how could they deceive me in such an important place?

So, even the Deep Sea Zuikaku and the others were deceived?

Less likely.

Whether it was the Deep Sea Zuikaku, the Kamikaze, or even Savoy, they had all witnessed Frederick the Great's actions firsthand. If Frederick the Great truly couldn't muster enough combat power to reliably suppress them, how could they possibly have stayed obediently in the Deep Sea City?

Ok……

It's very strange.

Xiaobai thought for a while but couldn't figure it out. However, the situation clearly didn't allow her to think any further, so she could only walk towards Frederick the Great.

Xiaobai didn't try to suppress the sound of her footsteps. When she walked towards Frederick the Great, the sound of her sneakers squeaking on the smooth floor echoed in the quiet conference room. But Frederick the Great still didn't react, as if she was lost in thought and completely unaware of what was behind her.

Finally, Xiaobai stopped a step or two behind Frederick the Great.

Xiao Bai stared at Frederick the Great, who was now inches away. At this extremely close distance, Frederick the Great's figure was incredibly clear. Xiao Bai could even see every single strand of Frederick the Great's snow-white hair and the slight rise and fall of her shoulders as she breathed. At this moment, even any Deep Sea Dean seemed capable of launching a swift attack on Frederick the Great with their ship's equipment, instantly and severely injuring her when she was completely unprepared...

There was no one else around.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

But Xiaobai did not make a move.

It's not that Xiaobai is soft-hearted.

The answer is that Xiaobai's laser cannon needs to be charged, so it can't fire that fast.

"Frederick?" Little White cleared his throat and called out to Frederick the Great in front of him.

Frederick the Great, who had been frozen like a statue, finally responded to Xiaobai's gentle call. He turned slightly to the side, his bandaged head looking towards Xiaobai.

"You've come." Frederick the Great's voice was as flat as water, and her straightforward tone made it impossible to discern her emotions.

"Um... I'm here. Um... I called you earlier but you didn't respond, so I came over." Xiaobai nodded and then explained to Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great's eyes, completely hidden behind bandages, silently assessed the distance between himself and Xiaobai—Xiaobai felt this because she sensed a distinct gaze from under the bandages on Frederick the Great's head—Frederick the Great turned slightly, presenting his front to Xiaobai.

"Understood," Frederick the Great replied.

When Frederick the Great turned around, Xiaobai noticed that she was holding a brick about one square meter in size in her arms, and there seemed to be some kind of pattern engraved on the brick.

The bricks appeared to be made of clay, and the material was somewhat rough, which seemed out of place in this deep-sea city full of high-tech steel building materials.

"Frederick, Barbarossa said you wanted to see me alone before today's meeting?" Little White asked, glancing curiously at the brick in Frederick the Great's hand. "What do you want to see me about?"

“Barbarossa said you can understand this,” Frederick the Great said bluntly, holding up the bricks on his arms and showing the patterned side to Xiaobai.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was taken aback, then looked at the brick. After she saw the pattern on the brick clearly, Xiaobai's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The bricks that Frederick the Great showed to Xiaobai indeed had some familiar characters engraved on them.

It is a runic font.

“Miss Barbarossa…she told you about it…” Little White grinned, swallowed hard, and then said to Frederick the Great.

"It seems you didn't ask her to keep it a secret either," Frederick the Great said, sensing the hesitation in Xiaobai's words.

"Hmm...cough cough." Xiaobai coughed softly twice.

makes sense.

No matter what, Barbarossa's position was that of a "police officer" in the deep-sea city, and she had a direct superior-subordinate relationship with Frederick the Great. It was perfectly normal for her to routinely report on what was happening in the city to Frederick the Great.

Moreover, Barbarossa herself had told him before that Frederick the Great actually supported other Deepsea Deans learning runic script. Since she had already discovered it, then so be it. It's easier to talk things out once the truth is out.

"That's right, I do know a little bit about it." After thinking it through, Xiaobai felt much better and nodded generously.

"..." Frederick the Great silently watched Xiaobai. She lowered her head, held the brick, and took a step towards Xiaobai until the patterns on the brick were fully displayed in front of Xiaobai. Then, Frederick the Great stretched out a slender finger and pointed to a rune on the brick, "Tell me, what does this character mean?"

Chapter 2121 Exposed

Oh wow.

It's a test.

Looking at the stone tablet in Frederick the Great's hand, Xiao Bai immediately understood the situation.

At first glance, Frederick the Great's bricks contain a large number of runic characters, but upon closer inspection, they do not form a valid string; they are merely a collection of unrelated runic words.

Xiao Bai could indeed pretend to only have a smattering of knowledge about runic script, but given the current situation, it seemed that answering Frederick the Great's question correctly would be more beneficial in building a closer relationship with him.

"Do you say this word?" Xiaobai thought of this and had an idea in mind, so she asked in return.

"Hmm." Frederick the Great nodded, his voice flat.

"The meaning of this rune is 'advance'," Xiaobai answered straightforwardly.

"..." Frederick the Great did not speak, but nodded slightly, and then continued to point to the other runes on the brick, "Let me talk about this one."

"Oh, this word means nothingness."

"Look at this one too."

"This is 'ten thousand,' representing a quantity, like the 'ten thousand' in 'ten thousand.'"

"..."

"This, this is the sun."

"..."

"This is energy. Oh, right, there's a problem with the font on this rune. The horizontal line here shouldn't extend beyond the vertical line. That's a very basic mistake. Where did you copy it from? And as I was just about to say, the font on this brick isn't very neat."

"..."

"this is……"

Xiao Bai has memorized an entire dictionary of runes. Asking Xiao Bai to write down complex strings with the same ease as Luo Lian is something Xiao Bai says he can't do. But if it's just about deciphering the characters, Xiao Bai feels he can manage.

Frederick the Great quickly finished asking Xiaobai all the questions about the runes on the bricks, and Xiaobai answered them all very readily.

The answering is over.

Frederick the Great lowered his head, silently looking at the brick in his hand through the bandage on his head, and remained silent for a long time.

"Frederick?" Little White noticed that Frederick hadn't spoken for a long time and couldn't help but remind him, "Was my answer correct?"

Frederick the Great slowly regained his senses.

"I don't know." Frederick the Great raised his head, his gaze beneath the bandages once again landing on Xiaobai's face. His voice remained very calm, but within that calm tone, there seemed to be an emotion that Xiaobai couldn't quite fathom.

"It's fine if I don't know... Didn't you ask me this question, Frederick? You're the one who set the question." Xiaobai was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh. "So where did you get this brick from?"

“I did it myself,” Frederick the Great answered calmly. She lightly ran her clean fingernail across the brick, as if demonstrating to Xiaobai, and wrote a rune font that she had asked Xiaobai about before. “...Did I write it correctly this time?”

"Uh..." Xiaobai froze, then murmured unconsciously, "Ah... I thought you'd taken it from somewhere..."

“There are no such clay sculptures here. I made the mudstone slabs myself, so they would be convenient for writing and drawing,” Frederick the Great replied calmly.

"...I'm...sorry."

"Apologize for what?"

"Uh... I, I just said your rune font is ugly..." Xiaobai said awkwardly.

"..." Frederick the Great silently looked at Xiaobai, his gaze sweeping over Xiaobai's embarrassed face, and then handed the brick to Xiaobai, "Write one for me to see."

Before Xiaobai could agree, the brick was already handed to him. Frederick the Great let go, and Xiaobai instinctively raised his hand to catch it.

"Sigh, this..." Xiao Bai held the heavy bricks and looked up to see Frederick the Great's head wrapped in bandages. It seemed as if a pair of eyes were staring intently at him from beneath the sunken eyes. At this point, Xiao Bai couldn't say anything. He could only swallow hard and grit his teeth to poke his finger into the stone slab.

Frederick the Great's slab of mudstone is hard; it cannot be written on with human finger strength. Only the strength of a ship girl can leave marks on it.

Xiao Bai wrote a big "正" on the stone slab.

"What kind of rune script is this?" Frederick the Great asked, having been watching Xiaobai's movements.

“This… is a rune font representing the domain of belonging…” Xiaobai replied.

There are two reasons for writing this rune font. One is that it is a rune font that Xiaobai has written thousands of times, so he is already very familiar with it. The other is that the strokes of this rune do not require any bends; they can be written by drawing straight lines. For Xiaobai at present, it is the rune font with the least pressure.

"It is indeed better written than mine." Frederick the Great examined the mudstone slab carefully for a while, and replied calmly, "You are very capable."

"So-so, so-so..." Xiaobai felt a little relieved.

Where did you learn this?

"Uh... the sea outside... the sea outside..." Xiaobai said in a low voice.

"..." Frederick the Great remained silent for a long time.

Once again, a long silence fell between Little White and Frederick the Great.

Another moment passed.

Frederick the Great spoke first.

"Let's get back to business," said Frederick the Great.

"Huh? Were we just chatting casually?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

“Not exactly, but I do have something else to say.” Frederick the Great nodded slightly. She took the stone brick from Xiaobai’s hand, turned around, bent down and casually placed it on the steps beside her. Her voice remained steady as she spoke, “Regarding you and your subordinate, the Super Yamato… you must have left the sea area without permission yesterday, right?”
