Elder brother's garrison

Loki said expressionlessly.

"Huh? You saved me? When?"

"This afternoon," Loki said quietly, raising his hand to draw a circle in front of Whitebeard, "you, the guest, were the one who pierced through the Deep Sea Dean's ship rigging with a single shot just before his cannon fire was about to hit me."

"..." Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with panic for a second before she glanced to the side.

"So... will the guest take me with him?" Loki didn't care about Whitey's condition, but asked a further question.

"……"noob.

wow-

The waves were pushed onto the beach for the third time by the sea breeze, then rolled up the fine sand on the beach and pulled it into the sea.

Based on the principle that "a hero needs three helpers" and "a radish needs three stakes," and the adage "many hands make light work," Little White finally agreed to Loki's request and took Loki along.

—After all, as Loki said, Loki is, after all, the Dean of the Deep Sea, and her combat power is no less than that of the ship girls. When operating on the high seas, she will not attract the attention of the Deep Sea ships. Taking her with you when infiltrating the Deep Sea base will indeed be of some help.

The three were already close to the sea surface. After reaching a consensus, Xiaobai, Yamato, and Loki stepped onto the sea and headed towards the other side of the ocean.

Leaving the city, the city behind them slowly shrank under Xiaobai's gaze, eventually transforming into a tiny, shimmering town under the moonlight, disappearing into the horizon.

—This marks the official start of the journey.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head away.

Beside Little White, Loki had been keeping his head down ever since they set sail, silently watching Little White's feet.

Xiaobai never told Loki that she possessed ship equipment, but she also never deliberately hid her status from Loki. Therefore, with Loki's insight, she had already guessed that Xiaobai was also someone who possessed ship equipment when she told her about her sea voyage plan.

Humans equipped with ship gear...

Or maybe the ship girls just became the world's number one admiral...

Regardless of which path it is, the ripples this event will cause in human society will be no less significant than the Deep Sea Dean becoming a human maid.

Loki, deeply moved, lifted his gaze from Little White's feet, only to find Little White watching him with a smile.

"Miss Loki." Little White smiled and waved to Loki.

"I'm here."

"Speaking of which, Miss Loki, aren't you the head maid of the Ella family? How did you manage to sneak out to sea with us without the Ella family's knowledge?" Little White asked curiously.

Loki remained silent.

"Miss Loki?" Little White was taken aback, and instantly had a bad feeling.

“I… just came out.” Loki paused for a moment, then said softly, “without telling anyone.”

"……what?"

"But please rest assured, the me underground should know my condition. She will take care of what happens after I leave."

"……"noob.

Xiaobai initially thought Loki was a very calm and composed maid.

Xiao Bai never expected this.

When it comes to acting impulsively and secretly plotting, Loki really does have that same reckless, impulsive spirit as the Deep Sea Dean…

Little White is already regretting taking Loki out to sea.

But now that things have come to this, Little White really can't bring himself to let Loki go back alone.

Loki looked up and gazed innocently at Little White.

"guest?"

"I'm fine..." Xiaobai covered her head and sighed, "I...I'm fine."

Little White's gaze drifted over Loki.

Then Xiaobai noticed the ring on Loki's hand.

"Speaking of which... Miss Loki," Little White pointed to the ring on Loki's hand, "how does this ring feel to wear? Is it alright?"

“…” Loki nodded silently, raised his hand and looked at the ring on his hand, “…The effect is very good. Although I can feel that if I release the ship equipment, the aura of the deep sea on my body will still be exposed, but at least if I only use the ability to swim, it can still help me hide my identity.”

"Wasn't the previous bracelet acceptable?"

“That won’t work. Forget about using your swimming ability; even getting a little emotionally agitated would reveal your deep-sea aura,” Loki said calmly.

“…Wow…Miss Loki, your life must have been very troublesome before.” Little White exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s alright.” Loki shook his head. “After a while, once you learn to control your emotions, you get used to it.”

"……"noob.

So Loki's emotionless and apathetic nature was cultivated after birth...

Xiao Bai felt relieved after thinking about it.

It seems that the deep-sea aura shielding device Loki originally wore on his wrist was not only poorly made, but also completely outclassed by the newbie naval base version...

Ok.

I'm completely relieved.

Our newbie naval base still stands at the pinnacle of deep-sea aura shielding technology.

Xiao Bai unconsciously puffed out his chest.

Chapter 1564 The Reasons for Invading the Land (4000 words)

Habits are something that are always cultivated gradually.

Although Loki no longer has to worry about the deep-sea aura leaking out, he has maintained his three-no attribute for more than ten years. Such a long-standing habit has long become second nature, so he can't change it in a short time.

In the sea breeze.

Xiao Bai and the other two Deans of the Deep Sea gradually moved away from the city and entered the depths of the sea under the moonlight.

As we approached the deeper parts of the sea, the sea breeze unexpectedly subsided considerably.

The sea was smooth as a mirror under the sea breeze at night. The wreckage of the deep-sea ship was gone, but the strong smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air.

The smell of gunpowder in the air is a trace of the battle between the deep-sea fleet and the ship girls during the day.

After the ship girls swept through the wreckage of the deep-sea fleet, it has now sunk to the bottom of the sea. In just a short while, it will be broken down into pure energy by the seawater and returned to the depths of the ocean without leaving a trace or pollution.

However, the gunpowder scattered in the sky was clearly not within the scope of natural disintegration, and it seemed that it would take several days for the sea breeze to bring it back to normal.

"The sea is a little chilly at night. Would you like to get a new coat?"

As the three were traveling, Loki, who was at the very back, quietly watched Little White's back and suddenly asked him a question.

"Oh? Oh... It's alright, I'm not cold, thank you, Miss Loki."

Little White turned around and smiled at Loki behind him.

"...If you let the damp, cold wind invade your body, although young and strong people may feel that it is harmless because of their vigorous blood and energy, it will cause many diseases as they get older."

Loki said expressionlessly,

"For example, the head of the family, when he went to sea in his early years, did not take care of his health. As the years went by, the cause he planted in his youth has come to fruition. He has developed a very serious rheumatic bone disease. Whenever he encounters damp and cold windy weather, he will feel pain all over his body. Now it is very difficult for him to come up and feel the sea breeze again."

Loki finished speaking.

She lowered her head, took out a small brown cloak from her ship equipment space, and then held the collar of the cloak with both hands, staring calmly at Xiaobai.

Although Loki didn't say anything.

But in those calm eyes, a look of something Xiaobai couldn't refuse inexplicably welled up.

Xiaobai felt itchy all over after watching it.

That gaze.

I don't know why, but I always feel that it's a bit like a wise old cat looking up and waiting to be fed, devout and calm.

In the end, Little White couldn't resist Loki's gaze.

"...Uh...then...please give me a coat to wear...thank you, Miss Loki." Little White finally gave in.

Loki silently quickened his pace and caught up with Little White.

Loki gently draped the cloak over Little White's body, then pressed it against him and skillfully tied a neat knot in front of Little White's collar with his slender fingers, securing the cloak.

"Alright." Loki lowered his hand.

Xiao Bai subconsciously stretched his limbs.

This cloak is a fairly large type; when draped over the body, it can cover Xiaobai's upper body and thighs together.

It fits perfectly.

Xiao Bai silently examined the cloak she was wearing.

The cloak appears to be made of fur; when worn, it feels soft and fluffy inside, and is surprisingly warm.

Xiaobai is a human with ship equipment. Unlike the typical "strong and healthy young people" who rely on their passion to resist the cold and dampness, Xiaobai is truly literally unafraid of the cold and dampness. But even so, Xiaobai can still feel the difference between comfort and discomfort.

Little White, quite surprised, tugged at his well-fitting cloak and nodded to Loki.

"Thank you, Miss Loki. This cloak is very comfortable to wear."

"Ah."

"...But why do you have a cloak that fits my figure so perfectly, Miss Loki...?"

“This cloak is the one Miss used,” Loki replied matter-of-factly. “Miss grew up here, and to protect her body, she wore this kind of clothing that keeps her dry and warm at the beach from childhood to adulthood. All the clothes she used are kept here with me.”

"Uh... Miss... are you referring to Ella?"

"Yes."

"So it was used by Ella..."

Xiao Bai smiled gently.

"Don't the guests like things that others have used?"

Loki asked.

"No. I personally don't really mind this kind of thing..." Xiaobai picked up a corner of the cloak, brought it to her nose and sniffed it lightly. "In fact, if it's the warm cloak that Ella used... it must be a very precious and high-end item. I would feel more at ease wearing it."

Loki has been Ella's maid for over ten years, working diligently through thick and thin. If Xiaobai isn't mistaken, Loki probably even watched Ella grow up. As the head maid of Ella's household, taking care of the young lady is his primary task, so it's not surprising that Loki has a few of Ella's used clothes.

Ok……

Watching them grow up...

Come to think of it, Ella is only a few years older than me...

Xiao Bai held the cloak and pondered for a while.

"Wait a minute, I remember Ella is much taller than me, right? Then this cloak is probably...?"

"In response to the guest, this cloak was a birthday gift from the head of the family to the young lady a few years ago when she turned fourteen."

"Huh? A birthday present? That's not really appropriate for me to wear..."

"Please rest assured, sir. Due to puberty, the young lady's body has grown significantly compared to before, so this cloak no longer fits her. However, given your relationship with the young lady, you can use it without worry."

"..." Xiaobai remained silent.

do not know why.

After hearing Loki's words...

Wrapped in this cloak, Xiaobai suddenly felt that the sea breeze was very cold and chilly.

The little white boy was disheartened.

After draping the cloak over Whitebeard, Loki quietly retreated to the back of the group.

Yamato, who was standing next to Xiaobai, watched Loki and Xiaobai interact. After Loki retreated, it finally found an opening and came to Xiaobai's side.

"Shiro—" Yamato Shinkai greeted Shiro furtively.

"Yamato-neechan?"

"Shh." Yamato quickly approached Whitey, secretly glancing at Loki behind him, and whispered to Whitey, "Whitey—hey, why is that Loki guy behind you suddenly being so enthusiastic towards you?"

"Oh? Are you very enthusiastic?"
