Elder brother's garrison

Page 900

Although my ship equipment has always exhibited the attribute of freezing...

But flames and stuff.

I think I have that too, right?

Xiao Bai's eyes flickered, and she turned her head to look at the other end of the courtyard.

Akashi, whose nose was covered in blood from Luo Lian, was being forcibly stripped of her clothes by the ship girls, lifted into the air, and then sent into the bathtub amidst a series of meows.

Xiaobai approached Akashi's furnace with some hesitation, staring at the blazing flames inside, and cautiously glancing at the few stubborn fragments of ship equipment inside.

"...In short...it seems like there's no problem...why don't we give it a try?" Xiaobai thought to himself and held up one of his fingers.

As time has passed since acquiring ship equipment, Xiaobai's control over it is now far beyond what he used to be, when he even needed to use hentai anime art style and storyline to link a single Sukufu.

With Xiaobai's efforts, the Admiral Network started operating slightly, and with a few fluctuations of mental energy, a cluster of blue flames appeared on Xiaobai's fingertips with a whoosh.

Xiao Bai swallowed hard, brought his finger, which was glowing with blue flames, close to the stove, and gently traced the blue flames along the outer edge of the stove's flames.

The blue flames, like spilled ink, immediately stained the orange-red flames upon contact. Then, the azure color rapidly spread from the tip of the flame that Xiaobai had touched, and in the blink of an eye, the furnace, which had been burning with raging flames, was given a blue special effect.

The burning heat gradually disappeared, transforming into an icy chill that made Xiaobai shiver involuntarily.

"Ugh... It's so cold..." Little White shivered instinctively. She blew out the flame on her finger and hugged her shoulders. "Why is the flame so cold..."

Xiao Bai squinted and glanced into the stove.

This look.

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up with joy.

really!

Right before Xiaobai's eyes, the few pieces of ship equipment that had remained unmoved in Akashi's furnace, like the world's strongest holdouts, were now melting at a visible speed under the scorching blue flames, just like ice and snow meeting the sun.

Xiao Bai happily put his hands together in prayer.

It's getting better!

"Wow————"

The bathhouse was filled with white mist.

Akashi lifted the basin of water and washed the blood off his body with a splash.

Warm water flowed down Akashi's flat body, carrying away some of the smell of blood.

"What an unlucky day, meow..." Akashi sighed, picked up the bottled shampoo that was lying to the side, and gently squeezed it into her palm. "I was planning to go out and sell boxes to earn some extra money after the admiral left today, meow... Did the admiral see through my plan... that's why she stayed..."

Akashi sighed.

Apply slight pressure with your hand.

A creaking sound.

Akashi was taken aback, and she lowered her head.

Before she knew it, she had crumpled the large bottle of shampoo into a clump of white liquid splattered on it.

"Huh? What's this—"

Akashi was startled and quickly shook off the plastic ball in her hand.

The flung plastic ball seemed to have been given some kind of acceleration device. With a sharp whooshing sound, it drew a straight blue line in mid-air and hurtled towards the bathtub not far away.

The plastic ball crashed into the bathtub, creating a high wave of water that splashed in all directions, drenching Akashi before he could react.

Wow

Akashi wiped the bathwater off his face, stared blankly at the bathtub water that he had splashed down to about half full.

Finally, Akashi turned her head and glanced at the full-length mirror by the bathtub.

In the mirror.

It was a green-haired file with blue flames on its head.

Chapter 1178 Add Special Effects

"Meow!!"

Just as Xiaobai was carefully observing the ship equipment fragments gradually melting into water in the furnace in front of the blacksmith's shop, Akashi's incredibly loud and high-pitched panicked cry suddenly burst out from the bathhouse at the other end of the courtyard.

Xiao Bai was taken aback and turned around.

Akashi, who had just been put into the bath by the ship girls, now had a blazing blue flame on her head. Her face was pale with fright as she darted out of the bath and staggered toward Shiro.

"Admiral, something terrible has happened!!! Akashi, Akashi, I'm on fire!!! What do we do!!!" With astonishing speed, before the ship girls at the bathhouse entrance could react, Akashi transformed into a small blue rocket, rushing towards Shiro with a whooshing force, and crashed into Shiro's arms with a thud, clinging to him.

"Huh? Akashi, you... Waaaa!"

At this moment, Akashi's strength was astonishing. Before Shiro could react, the burning Akashi slammed into his arms. Instantly, after catching Akashi, Shiro staggered back several steps as if hit by a small truck, and spun around several times before finally managing to dissipate the force.

"Admiral! Admiral! Admiral! Admiral! Admiral! Something terrible has happened! Akashi was just taking a bath, but for some reason, a blue fire suddenly broke out on his head just now, and no matter how much water he washes it off, he can't put it out. Akashi's body is also acting strangely; he feels like he can't control his strength. Akashi, what should he do?!" Akashi, clinging to Shiro, kicked his legs like a beetle stuck to a tree trunk, refusing to get down, and shouted in a slightly incoherent voice.

"Huh? Akashi...on fire?" Shiro was a little dazed after being hit by Akashi's small truck. She swayed in place, rubbed her forehead, and looked down at Akashi, who was crying in her arms.

Oh wow.

It really did catch fire.

Akashi's once smooth, long green hair now seemed to have transformed into a gas stove, burning with a faint, bluish flame. Each strand of green hair seemed to be coated with a magical glow, making Xiaobai think that Akashi had gone to the hair salon for a high-end hair dyeing service.

Xiao Bai was somewhat surprised.

But the next second, Xiaobai had some doubts.

Blue flames?

Does it look familiar?

Xiao Bai stared at the blue flames atop the Ming Stone for a while, and soon sensed a faint connection between the flames and himself.

Xiaobai paused for a moment, then wrapped her arms around Akashi's waist and reached out her other hand to pat Akashi's head.

The somewhat ornate flames burning on Akashi's head did not harm Shiro's hands at all. When Shiro touched Akashi's fluffy head, he did not feel any burning discomfort, but rather a cool and comfortable sensation.

Shiro rubbed Akashi's head and glanced at the bright blue furnace burning at the entrance of the blacksmith shop.

—Some furnaces, on the surface, are furnaces, but in reality, they are the ship equipment of a ship girl.

For example, the stove at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop.

It's something that appeared from Akashi's ship equipment.

The Will of the Deep Sea once said that, because of the existence of the Will of the Deep Sea, Xiao Bai's current level of life has been elevated to a high level where even the dust rubbed off his body is a panacea for ordinary deep-sea amphibious ships.

Similarly, this act of transferring the advanced flames from one's own ship equipment into another's ship equipment... is probably equivalent to transferring power.

It seems quite logical that Akashi would receive some of Shiro's power in return.

"Hmm... I feel like... I understand a little bit."

After sorting out the sequence of events, Shiro muttered something awkwardly, then looked back at Akashi, who was still crying in her arms because she was too frightened.

Compared to the calm Shiro, Akashi, whose head was blazing (physically), was not so calm. She grabbed Shiro by the nose and jumped up and down, shouting for the admiral to save her while meowing and howling, her face full of panic.

Xiaobai patted Akashi's lower back apologetically and said in as gentle a voice as possible, "Akashi, Akashi, calm down. Um, excuse me... did those flames on your head just burn you?"

"Meow—meow…uh…" Akashi, who was frantically clutching Shiro and thrashing about on its body, paused. She blinked, then belatedly stared at Shiro, who was right in front of her, for a moment. "Uh…um…eh?"

Akashi was startled by Shiro's words. She paused for a moment, and her body, which had been wriggling around on Shiro, quieted down. Then, with some doubt, Akashi released Shiro's neck and fell back to the ground.

Akashi lowered her head, brushed aside the hair burning with blue flames by her ear, and gently ran her fingers through it.

The blue flames on Akashi's hair, upon touching Akashi's skin, flowed between Akashi's fingers like gentle cotton candy, without burning her skin.

"Meow?!" Akashi exclaimed in surprise, her large amber eyes filled with astonishment and delight. "What kind of flame is this? Akashi doesn't feel any pain when she's burned, meow!!"

"Ah... I knew it." Seeing that Akashi was indeed unharmed by the flames, Shiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Akashi looking as if he had discovered a new world, constantly rubbing and tugging at his hair with a look of surprise on his face, Xiaobai slowly explained to Akashi, "Akashi, listen to me, these flames won't hurt you. If I'm not mistaken, they should have been transmitted from my side."

At this point, to prove his point, Xiaobai also held out his palm to Mingshi, and with a whoosh, a ball of blue flame rose from his palm.

Compared to the faint blue flame above Akashi's head, which resembled a gas stove that hadn't been turned off properly, the flame in Xiaobai's palm was much more vigorous and layered, full of spiritual energy, dancing in the wind. It was obvious at a glance which was stronger.

"This, this is the ability of the Admiral's ship equipment?!" Akashi's eyes lit up when she saw the flame in Shiro's palm. "No wonder Akashi felt so much stronger just now!"

"Ah... well, how should I put it... this was a bit of an accident..." Xiaobai said awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this... I guess I'll have to be more careful in the future..."

The Deep Sea Will had previously reflected on its failure to clearly recognize its status as a "humanoid ginseng fruit," and how it had inadvertently fed a rampaging Deep Sea Dean that wreaked havoc on a sea area. Little White never expected that such a bizarre thing would happen to him so quickly.

Fortunately, this time it was fed to one of our own, so it won't cause too much trouble. But if we're not careful again, next time we might accidentally feed out a berserk Deep Sea Dean like the Deep Sea Will did, and ruin Chapter Six. If that happens, I'll really feel bad.

I need to be more careful in the future...

Xiao Bai thought to herself with mixed feelings.

"Admiral, can these flames on Akashi's body be taken back?" Akashi asked, pointing to the blue flames covering her head.

Although Akashi is a blacksmith and is used to being with flames every day, it is precisely because she knows the power of flames that she is so afraid when her head is on fire. Although Shiro reminded her that the flames did not trigger teammate damage and belonged to her own people, long-standing habits are hard to break. Akashi is still not used to the feeling of having fire on her head all the time.

"It should be fine, just a little practice will do." Xiaobai thought for a moment, "Hmm... how about I close my eyes and get used to it for a bit?"

“Oh…” Akashi tugged at her hair with some interest. “I’ve heard from the ship girls at the naval base that the admiral has many amazing abilities, such as helping the Empire maintain its mental strength and repairing the physical defects of constellations. I never thought I would witness these things myself.”

"Ah... I've already done so many things?"

"Yes, I heard that Miss Yixian's strength only began to become somewhat profound after she returned from an expedition with you, Admiral."

"..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.

"Speaking of which, Admiral, how did you manage to transfer these flames to Akashi? Wasn't Akashi just in the bath?" Akashi asked curiously. "Why did you suddenly think of giving the flames to Akashi, Admiral?"

"Ah... speaking of which." Shiro smiled at Akashi, "It's like this, because this morning you told me you were having a hard time dealing with those pieces of Lord Su's ship equipment..."

"Yes, I've mentioned it before, meow."

"So when you weren't here just now, Akashi, I was thinking about whether I could do something for you... and then I remembered that since Akashi asked me for help to shred Lord Su's ship equipment fragments so they could be melted... why not try using the flames in my ship equipment to heat them up... maybe that would save Akashi even more effort," Xiaobai said.

"Hmm? What the admiral means is..."

"Then, when you left, Akashi, I... used my flame to light your furnace a little..." Shiro took a step to the side, showing Akashi the large furnace that was already engulfed in blazing blue flames.

"Meow?!" When Akashi saw that her ship's furnace was completely covered by raging blue flames, she thought that her furnace was going to be roasted alive. She was startled by the sight, but she quickly realized that the blue flames would not harm her body or ship equipment. She quickly raised her hand and ran over, waved her small hand on the blue flames of the furnace, pushed open the furnace's loading port, and glanced at the raw materials being roasted in the furnace.

The blue flame on Akashi's forehead suddenly flared up.

"Admiral! Admiral is amazing, meow!! Lady Sukhbaatar... she... she really has melted away, meow!!!"

Chapter 1179 Little White HP-1

"Achoo!!!"

While eating breakfast, Sukhbaatar squeezed the fried dough stick in his hand, felt a lump in his throat, and sneezed loudly at Odin sitting opposite him.

The bowl of soy milk, licked clean, trembled in Sukhbaatar's hand, tracing a graceful arc in the air before landing with a sharp, steady slap on Odin's cheek.

"Wow...that feels so good." Sukhbaatar rubbed his nose and took a deep breath of the morning air. "My nose was stuffy all morning—wait, was someone calling for me just now?"

"..." Veins bulged on Odin's smooth forehead, forming a vivid tic-tac-toe shape.

Little White, squatting at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, watched Akashi bustling around the large blue furnace. With Akashi adding charcoal and coal from time to time, the flames in the blue furnace roared like a large alchemy furnace. After a while, Akashi carefully took out a set of molds from her ship equipment space and nervously aimed them at the furnace opening.

Under the watchful eyes of Shiro and Akashi, a few drops of bright red molten iron, enveloped in blue flames, slowly flowed from the furnace outlet and finally dripped into the mold, gradually solidifying into droplets.

"It worked, meow!!"

Akashi excitedly raised the mold in her hand.

"Congratulations, congratulations—" Xiaobai, who was squatting at the entrance of the blacksmith shop, clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Akashi is truly amazing!"

"The Admiral is so amazing, meow! With this kind of flame, even if the Admiral doesn't help process the raw materials, Akashi can already quickly refine the raw materials to ultra-high purity, meow!!" Akashi held the few drops of metal droplets in the mold, which looked like works of art, with great delight, "Akashi never dreamed that she could do something like this!"

"Ah...that's a good thing..." Xiaobai smiled as she looked at the blue flames still burning atop Akashi. "Akashi, at this rate, how long will it take to process all the materials?"

"At this rate, it will only take a few hours!" Akashi confidently held up the mold. "If all goes well, we can officially start production this afternoon, and the ship-mounted bracelet should be finished by tonight!"

"Wow...that's truly an epic speedup," Xiaobai exclaimed with some emotion.

"The craftsmanship required for the ship equipment bracelet itself isn't complicated, meow. Miss Luo Lian has already given me the design blueprint, meow. So the biggest problem in rushing to finish this is just the purification and acquisition of the raw materials, meow." Akashi placed the mold beside her, then took out a design blueprint from her ship equipment space and handed it to Xiaobai, "Admiral, take a look."

Shiro accepted the design drawings handed to her by Akashi.
