Elder brother's garrison

Page 737

"Thank you, how do I get there?"

"Come in with me, I'll give you a map." Bai Ying turned around and walked into the fortress, waving her hand at Odin.

“Hmm…I also…have something for you.” Odin smiled and said to Bai Ying.

What are you giving me?

"Something that makes that wall useful."

Odin followed Bai Ying through the gates of the fortress.

As she stepped through the door, the surroundings returned to endless darkness once more.

Xiaobai thought the map was loading, so she waited there for a while before the surrounding darkness began to gradually fade.

Upon seeing his surroundings again, Xiaobai realized that Odin was no longer in the fortress, but on a beach.

It was late, and the sea shimmered with light.

Xiao Bai first heard the sound of ocean waves, and then saw a small figure holding a fishing rod, squatting on a dilapidated boat not far away on the sea.

The small wooden boat was dilapidated and barely moored to the shore. The figure held a fishing rod, cast a long, thin line into the sea, and hummed a song while gazing at the sea with satisfaction.

“Hehe~Hehe~”

Odin stopped a short distance behind the figure, silently watching the short, seemingly powerless figure.

Odin leaned closer to the short figure.

The waves crashed against the shore at night, and the sound of the flowing water seemed exceptionally quiet under the moonlight.

The short figure remained engrossed in his fishing rod, unaware that someone was approaching from behind.

“…” Odin.

Although Odin did not make any sound or move, Xiaobai could still sense Odin's disappointment towards this person he was meeting for the first time.

Finally, Odin stood behind the short girl, silently raised his hand, and gently chopped down on her head.

It wasn't until this distance that Xiaobai realized the person carrying the fishing rod was Sukhbaatar.

With a sharp "snap," Odin delivered a light but firm chop to Sukhbaatar's head.

"Ouch!" Sukhbaatar cried out in pain after being struck by Odin's chop, clutching his head as his fishing rod fell to the bow of the boat.

"Whose child is this at night?!" Sukhbaatar turned around with a resentful look and looked at Odin behind him.

"My name is Odin."

"Hmm? Odin?"

"what's your name?"

"...Hmph. Since you've asked so sincerely, then I, in my greatness, will mercifully tell you... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!" Sukhbaatar was about to utter a dashing line when Odin's hand, slashing at his head, interrupted him again. Sukhbaatar quickly raised his small hand to protect his head. "My name is Sukhbaatar. Where did you come from, you little rascal? What do you want with me?"

“…” Odin frowned, tilted his head to look at Sukhbaatar, and sighed silently, “It’s alright now.”

Xiaobai could sense that Odin seemed quite disappointed in Sukhbaatar.

It seems that Odin prefers the calm and mysterious President Bai Ying to the slow-witted Sukhbaatar.

Odin lowered his hand, adjusted the backpack on his back, and stepped off the ship.

"Goodbye." Odin turned around and said to Sukhbaatar, who looked completely bewildered. "Next time, be careful behind you, or you might not be able to dodge someone's attack again."

"Huh? Dodge? Why should we dodge?" Sukhbaatar, clutching his head, looked at Odin curiously.

“…” Odin looked at Sukhbaatar with a puzzled expression.

“Those few moves just now, there wasn’t a hint of murderous intent in them,” Sukhbaatar said matter-of-factly.

“…” Odin stared blankly at Sukhbaatar.

"Your name is Odin, right?" Sukhbaatar looked at Odin thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and then stood up from the ship.

"Ah."

"Hmph, I'm currently short of a follower. Tonight I see you have extraordinary potential. How about you apply?"

"Me...to be your follower?"

"What's wrong? I'm very strong, you know, super strong. If you follow me, you'll live a life of luxury." Sukhbaatar lowered his hand and proudly raised his chin at Odin.

Odin said nothing, but silently looked at the small wooden boat at Sukhbaatar's feet.

“They’re so poor,” Odin said.

"Ugh!" Sukhbaatar clutched his chest.

"She's flat-chested."

“Oh!” Sukhbaatar lowered his head.

"He has a smug look on his face."

“Ah…” Sukhbaatar knelt on the wooden boat, “You newcomer… you really don’t respect your seniors when you speak…”

“…” Odin sighed, summoned his ship equipment, and set up a cannon in front of Sukhbaatar, who was kneeling on the wooden platform. “Let me show you the difference in strength.”

Little White was enjoying a bag of popcorn when the surroundings suddenly went dark again.

Little White, with popcorn in his mouth, chewed while gazing at the endless darkness around him, awaiting the next scene.

Darkness fades away.

The next scene takes place on a bright, sunny day.

In the vast ocean, hundreds of deep-sea amphibious ships rolled their eyes back.

The beach was covered in charred remains from artillery fire.

Trees lay sprawled haphazardly on the ground, while dust billowed in the air.

On the ravaged beach, Odin opened his eyes with some difficulty.

A sharp pain, like being bombarded, shot through my entire body.

In my field of vision, the unharmed Sukhbaatar was squatting by a campfire, leaning against a few fish with great interest.

"Hey, you're awake." Sukhbaatar saw Odin open his eyes, grinned at him, and then tossed him a grilled fish.

"..."

"I have won. From now on, you will be my follower."

“…” Odin nodded slightly.

"Hehehehehe—" Sukhbaatar sat down triumphantly on the beach, grabbed a fish, opened his mouth, and took a bite out of its belly.

Odin looked at Sukhbaatar with a complicated expression, staring at her unharmed body for a while before looking down at his own.

Odin was covered in tattered clothes, his skin filthy with mud and covered in scratches from cannon fire.

Odin was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a big bite of the grilled fish in his hand.

"...Is it delicious?" Sukhbaatar asked Odin.

"Ah."

"From now on, you'll be following me, and this kind of thing happens every day."

"……Um."

"Hehehehe..." Sukhbaatar revealed a silly grin that was completely out of character for her overwhelming strength.

"...Where did you come from?" Odin asked Sukhbaatar.

"I have no idea."

"?"

"Hmm... I'd forgotten all about it!" Sukhbaatar laughed and scratched his head. "I just feel like I inexplicably found myself living here."

"...Don't you have any friends?"

"Friends? I don't need that kind of thing..." Sukhbaatar said, puffing out her chest, then suddenly stopped, looking puzzled. She stared at the campfire for a moment, then... "Uh..."

"..."

"I have a feeling... that I've had friends before."

Chapter 975 Crunchy, Flavor of Rice Crust

With a crisp "crack," the quick-repair device split in two above Odin's head.

Odin opened his eyes with a snap, like a startled kitten.

She stared blankly at the sky, her mind a chaotic storm of thoughts.

During the time he was unconscious, Odin felt as if he had experienced several segments of his life again, like a revolving lantern.

In my memory, there are many places that are so distant that I have almost forgotten them, and there are also many places that I am too ashamed to recall.

What a strange dream!

As Odin was thinking, a cool little hand touched his forehead, rubbing smoothly against his head.

This was a hand so comfortable that Odin couldn't muster much resistance.

"Miss Odin, are you awake?"

With a crisp greeting, a strand of white hair fell onto Odin's face, brushing against the tip of his nose like a weeping willow.

Then a soft sensation, which I had been used to for a long time, came from the back of my head.

Odin reached out and touched his ear, where he felt a soft and comfortable thigh.

“…” Odin’s gaze shifted slightly.

Then she saw Xiaobai looking down at her.

Odin was resting his head on Little White's lap at that moment.

With a whoosh, Odin sprang up from Little White's lap.

The surrounding environment was no longer the sea far from the city, but the beach where Xiaobai and Odin had first met. The sand beneath them was cold, and the chill felt like hundreds of tiny needles pricking their clothes and seeping into Odin's buttocks.

"You!" Odin remembered how she had been instantly killed by Xiaobai's counterattack. She stared at Xiaobai warily, retreating continuously. "Who exactly are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Odin, who was retreating, felt as if he had bumped into something behind him.

She turned around and saw a mountain of used rapid repair devices piled up behind her.

“Uh…” Odin stared blankly at the small hill.

"I'm not a bad person," Xiaobai introduced herself to Odin. "My name is Lu Lin."

“…” Odin looked at Little White, who pointed to the pile of used rapid repair devices behind her, “…Was this for me to use?”

"Hahaha... I really didn't expect that repairing Miss Odin's ship equipment would require so many rapid repair devices."

"Idiot, the conventional quick repair device is very inefficient at repairing my ship equipment. Anyway, I have automatic repair, so it will be back to normal after a while." Odin muttered to himself as he walked back to Little White's side. "...Thank you."

It seems that although there are still some misunderstandings, Odin's emotions have become less extreme after witnessing Xiaobai's strength and seeing Xiaobai's willingness to use so many rapid repair devices for him.

"Are Miss Odin and Lord Su good friends?" Xiaobai asked Odin.

"Ah."

"Ah... I see." Xiaobai smiled at Odin, and roughly understood why Odin had treated him so badly before.

"Which ship girl are you from?" Odin asked Shiro.

"I'm not a ship girl."

"Then you are the deep sea?"

"I'm the admiral."

“???” Odin showed the expression that Xiaobai had expected.

“Hahaha… This is indeed a bit complicated to explain… Miss Odin, it’s getting late and a bit cold. How about we find a warmer place?” Xiaobai said to Odin. “Actually, I came here to ask Miss Odin some questions about your background, not for Lord Su.”

"……real?"

"Yeah, really."

“…Oh, alright then.” Odin gave Xiaobai some face, considering the effort Xiaobai had put in.
