After responding, Xia Bai fastened his seat belt and looked straight at Hu Tengjun's profile with his thoughts in a mess.
This ship girl from the Maritime Administration gave him a very strange feeling. She was inconspicuous when she wore glasses, but after taking off her glasses, she was like the Queen of Thorns on the iceberg.
She speaks calmly and does things coolly and decisively, and her tone is always nonchalant, as if nothing can disturb her heart.
Just now, under the indoor light, he thought Hu Teng's hair color was black, but now under the sunlight, it looks a little dark blue. His nose is tall and handsome, his lips are red and his teeth are white. His yellow eyes are clear and bright, as if they are filled with ice that will never melt.
She is tall and well-proportioned. She is quite small among ship girls, and can be held in one hand. Her black boots tightly wrap around her smooth and white legs.
This is a ship girl full of mystery, like a poison that lures people into the abyss, emitting fatal attraction all the time.
Ulrich von Hutten, Xia Bai had never heard of this name. He could only judge that the other party was a ship from Country G. Since he put himself on the same level as New Jersey and Shinano, he could only conclude that the other party was an aircraft carrier or a battleship.
In short, this is a mysterious ship girl who possesses powerful strength but does not show off and works in the Maritime Administration.
"Have you seen enough?"
As if he noticed Xia Bai's gaze on the passenger seat, Hu Teng raised his eyebrows and continued to hold the steering wheel.
"You give me a very strange feeling. I have never heard of the name Ulrich von Hutten."
"If it were another name, you would know it. It's the battleship H39, a ship that has never been born in history. The name Huten was given by that war criminal, and it is also the name of a famous humanist in Country G."
Well, this does involve Xia Bai's blind spot in knowledge. Even if Hu Teng said that he was the battleship H39, he didn't know what was going on.
In order to prevent St. Louis and Hu Teng from discovering the fact that he was illiterate, Xia Bai nodded indifferently and did not continue to ask questions. He looked out the window with his chin in his hand.
Perhaps it was because the Takors area had been stabilized by the White Eagle. Although also a coastal city, Fulk was not in a state of war readiness and tense like Port Wilhelm.
Judging from the density of pedestrians on the street, this is indeed one of the most prosperous cities in the world. There are all kinds of shopping malls, a dazzling array of goods, children chasing and playing on the streets with laughter, and the video projection on the high-rise buildings also previews a football game tonight.
After temporarily getting rid of the threat of the Sirens, the city became so prosperous, peaceful and harmonious that Xia Bai didn't know whether it was good or bad.
However, this is the scene he wants to see. Even though this peace is only false, Xia Bai also hopes that it can last forever.
St. Louis in the back seat noticed Xia Bai's gaze and looked out the window as well. He then chuckled and said, "Are you curious about the Commander Academy? After all, Xia Bai, you are a wild person. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Their words were full of pride for the Commander Academy. This largest Commander Academy in the world was funded by White Eagle and the Maritime Administration, and many commanders who could guard a region came out of it.
Without discussing the monetary gains and only considering the contribution, this can be regarded as her most successful investment in St. Louis. Until now, she is the honorary president of this institution.
"I am not interested in those who have not experienced war. Most of these people come here to study with pure intentions, and their purpose is just to become a ship girl."
“Only after they have witnessed the cruelty of war will they regret their choice.”
Xia Bai doesn't have a very good impression of the group of commander reserves.
Although those experienced commanders who guard a region are not serious in all kinds of ways on the Internet, and talk to newbies like newts every day, they are real military commanders, and those things on the Internet are just their relaxation of life.
But it would be different if these students in school were like this. They have nothing except the status of reserves. They have no glory, no merit, and some of them don't even have a ship girl. They didn't learn the knowledge in school well, and they just think about how to show off others and be sarcastic every day.
This is not a newbie, this is a real newbie.
Chapter 133: Thump, thump, cardiopulmonary arrest!
"Speaking of which, Xia Bai has only been the commander of the Sakura Empire for a short time, so why is he already looking down on those students?"
From Xia Bai's words, St. Louis felt the other party's disdain. He looked down on the reserve commander very much.
"I don't look down on them, I'm jealous of them because they can play badly without knowing anything, but I can't."
"If there weren't so many troubles, who would want to run around all day? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Sakura Empire and accompany my ship girls?"
Hearing this, St. Louis shook his head slightly: "Not knowing is also a blessing. Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing..."
Although the Tacols area has been stabilized at present, other sea areas are still fighting fiercely with the Sirens. Opening champagne at halftime is not a good thing.
The Faro Sea had been isolated for so long, and there had been no news from Veneto since the capture of the Dark Islands, and there was no news from Richelieu at all.
Whether the army over there was completely wiped out or survived, no one in the Takors area cared about it except them, the White Eagles. Or perhaps they had forgotten about it in the victory of this stabilization operation.
Worried about the situation in Veneto, St. Louis changed the subject and asked eagerly, "So what is it that everyone knows but White Eagle doesn't know?"
"Not knowing is a kind of bliss...Okay, don't look at me like that."
Noticing that St. Louis was glaring at him, Xia Bai did not interrupt him and said slowly, "The matter of the supreme series of weapons made by Siren and the possibility that our real enemy is not Siren."
"It's a long story. I'll show you a video when we get back to the cafe... Huteng, stop the car!"
As he said this, Xia Bai caught a glimpse of the frightening long pale hair through the car window. He was horrified and immediately asked Hu Teng to stop the car, then got out and looked for the figure he had just seen.
After Hu Teng unbuckled his seat belt, he and St. Louis came to Xia Bai and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the Commander Academy?"
Trying hard to calm his overflowing emotions, Xia Bai shook his head and muttered to himself: "Am I seeing wrong... That guy shouldn't be here."
"That guy?"
Looking up and around, the streets were the same as usual, the pedestrians were the same as usual, there was nothing unusual. Hu Teng patted Xia Bai on the shoulder.
"It's always been like this before the Commander Academy. Maybe you saw a ship girl studying here who looks a bit like your own ship girl..."
"!"
Before she could finish her words, Hu Teng saw a woman with long pale hair walking into the gate of the Commander Academy. The vague aura of the other person made her pupils begin to shrink.
The next second, a huge dragon-scorpion-like ship appeared behind her. Like a living creature, its iron body twisted restlessly and its scales stood up.
Putting his hand on the muzzle of the gun, Hu Teng ignored the surprised looks of passers-by, stared at the gate of the Commander Academy, and smacked his lips.
"Tsk... Life is full of surprises. I don't know which will come first, the shock or the surprise. I know that it won't be smooth sailing with a man like you."
"But I didn't expect the shock to come so quickly... Tell me, who is that scary girl? She definitely can't be a ship girl."
St. Louis was already puzzled by Hu Teng's sudden deployment of the ship suit, and now what he said made her even more confused.
Who is it? Why can't I see it? Is White Eagle isolated again?
Xia Bai's trembling voice told her the answer, a name that St. Louis had never heard of.
"If I'm not mistaken, she should be Arbiter Empres... I didn't expect that the person Zero specifically reminded me of would actually run into me today."
"Oh~ So should we go in and take a look now, or should we just pretend we didn't see each other?"
Hearing the prefix "Arbitrator", Hu Teng put away his ship suit and shrugged helplessly, as if he left everything to Xia Bai.
Judging from the information currently best known to them, that of Steljunus, any arbitrator could ravage the world with absolute force, and they would be unable to stop the other party from doing anything.
"If it's really Empres, it's too dangerous to leave her here. No matter what, we have to find out her purpose."
"So..." Turning his head and looking into Hu Teng's eyes, Xia Bai asked very seriously, "Hu Teng, how does your strength compare to that of the monarch?"
The reason why she compared him to the monarch was because after Xia Bai became the commander of the Sakura Empire, he had compared himself with her several times at the monarch's request.
All I can say is that the opponent deserves to call himself the strongest in the royal family. Without underestimating the enemy, the Destiny Wolf with a 70% synchronization rate could only barely defeat the Monarch, and there were several times when the Destiny Wolf lost.
If Hu Teng said now that he was not as good as the monarch, Xia Bai would turn around and leave, and would never go in to find trouble with Enpress. That was not the way to seek death.
"The monarch of the royal family? She is indeed very powerful, but she is no match for me."
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a sweet smile like oleander appeared on Hu Teng's face: "In other words, the monarch is just a little bit difficult for me. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Regardless of whether Hu Teng's words were true or false, Xia Bai felt confident after hearing them. He turned around and looked at St. Louis, who had always been suspicious of Jiansheng.
"What about you, Saint Louis, how does your strength compare to Noshiro's?"
After hearing Xia Bai's question, St. Louis came to his senses, lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know much about Noshiro of Sakura Empire, so I can't make a comparison."
"Where's Sirius?"
"Royal Sirius is a well-known battle maniac. I...I am no match for her."
"What about Dido and Belfast? You can't be their match, can you?"
"Dido is Queen Elizabeth's personal guard, and Belfast is the all-powerful head maid. It's really unfair for you to compare me with them."
St. Louis spoke weakly, his head lowered almost to the point of touching his towering "justice", his face filled with shame.
"Then you should be able to beat Sheffield, right?"
Xia Bai just didn't believe that St. Louis in front of him would not be able to beat Sheffield. Love is love, pain is pain, but one thing is one thing. He has a very clear understanding of the maid's fighting ability.
"That's about right. We each have our own strengths in combat."
"hiss--"
Taking a deep breath, Xia Bai really didn't expect that St. Louis, who had such a explosive figure, was on the same level as the poor Sheffield. Could it be that the combat effectiveness of a ship girl really has nothing to do with her body shape?
"So do you have any strengths or amazing abilities, like repairing or stopping time?"
"I...Is my wealth an advantage?"
"..."
Chapter 134 Big World Match, Don’t Play If You Don’t Accept It
In the end, Xia Bai gave up the idea of using St. Louis as a fighting force. There was no difference between an ordinary ship girl and an ant facing the arbitrator, not to mention that the opponent was the strongest arbitrator confirmed by Zero himself.
However, Xia Bai still expressed his high appreciation for St. Louis' advantage of being rich. It is impressive, but as it stands, it is of no use.
Fortunately, Hu Teng received a call from a homeless rabbit lady who did not want to reveal her name, which gave Xia Bai confidence. Now they are waiting for each other at the gate of the Commander Academy.
After a while, Miss Rabbit got out of the taxi. When she saw Hu Teng and Xia Bai, she waved her hands and shouted, "Here, here, come and pay the fare, or the driver won't let me go."
Such a payment task was naturally given to St. Louis. The rich lady White Eagle walked over quickly, took out a few banknotes from her handbag and redeemed Miss Rabbit.
Looking at the embarrassed New Jersey, Hu Teng crossed his arms and said calmly, "How come you are doing so badly that you even need us to reimburse your travel expenses?"
“Well… hehehe,” New Jersey said with a silly smile, scratching his head sheepishly, “I don’t have a fixed income, and traveling frequently is very expensive.”
"What about the merits? After traveling for so long, I guess I can't have accumulated nothing. Today, Xia Bai exchanged more than 20,000 red tips from me."
With his eyes shining, New Jersey looked at the expressionless Xia Bai, grabbed his hand and said, "Xia Bai, lend me some money, I have no money for food, wuwuwu."
"Forget about borrowing it. You won't pay it back anyway... I'll just give it to you directly."
Shaking his head helplessly at New Jersey, Xia Bai took out 500 red coins from the ship's equipment space and gave them to her, which immediately moved the penniless Miss Rabbit.
"Don't wipe your tears on the clothes. This dress is from St. Louis and costs 13 US dollars...By the way, why are you in the Takors area?"
After wiping away the tears of emotion on Xia Bai's clothes, New Jersey regained his usual confident smile and said cheerfully, "I'm here to borrow supplies from Hu Teng. I'm using all my supplies to repair the ship's equipment."
As the ceiling among ship girls, New Jersey is very powerful, but correspondingly, she is also a gold-eating monster. The cost of attacking is high, and the cost of repairing ship equipment is astronomical. Ordinary naval bases really cannot afford to support her.
"Repair the ship's equipment? Will a person like you ever have the need to repair the ship's equipment? Did you come across something strange?"
Hearing this, New Jersey's smiling face became very solemn. She raised a finger and slowly said, "I did run into a very dangerous guy in the sea. Although I don't want to admit it, I did lose to him."
"Even the decoration on my head was taken away by the other party in that battle... and she claimed to be the arbitrator, so when I talked to Hu Teng and learned that you were here, Xia Bai, I rushed here immediately."
After hearing what New Jersey said, Hu Teng and Xia Bai looked at each other, and then one of them held up one of New Jersey's hands.
"You've come just in time. There's an arbitrator in the Commander Academy, and we're worried about not being able to find help."
"Arbitrator Empres... I think you must be eager to fight with him. You're welcome. Let's go in together. The invincible New Jersey will play as the forward, and Xia Bai and I will help you to scout the enemy lines."
Just like that, New Jersey, who was flattered by Xia Bai and Hu Teng and had not yet figured out the situation, was carried by the two of them into the Commander Academy, while St. Louis followed after hesitating for a moment.
She knew very well that the person who could make New Jersey, Hu Teng and Xia Bai, three brutal guys, join forces to deal with him must be very terrifying, but if she retreated here, she would not be worthy of being a ship girl.
Arbitrator Empres, humph! Let me, St. Louis, see what you have.
---------Rich woman dividing line-----------
Empres was in a good mood, which could be seen from the pace of her walk.
In order to retrieve the 'Ember' beacon left in this world, she was sent down by the head judge of the arbitration agency.
In the beginning, Empress was quite resentful about having to do such a small thing as the strongest arbitrator, and the recent evolution of Steliancus had put a lot of pressure on her.
But when he came to this world, Enpress was attracted by many interesting opponents.
First, he fought with a ship girl in a black skirt with red horns, and beat her half-paralyzed. Then he fought with a ship girl with rabbit decorations, and took her rabbit ears as a trophy.
If time had allowed, she would have really wanted to run and fight with the Son of Prometheus mentioned by Observer Zero.
Defeating the strong men from every world is what Empres likes to do most. In her mind, there is no more pleasing scene than watching the unwilling look of a ship girl who thinks she is extraordinary after being defeated.
Just thinking about it made her tremble all over.
It was precisely because she had fought several battles that made her feel refreshed both physically and mentally that she was so happy. She even smiled friendly at humans who approached her.
Enpress didn't use any other means to sneak into the Commander Academy. He just walked in with his appearance.
Before the news of the Siren of Wisdom spread, who would have thought that she was a Siren? These students only thought that Empress was a powerful and beautiful ship girl.
Especially her queenly temperament, which made them all fall for her.
"It's the Lion-class battleship, right? It's great that the big sister has the aura of a queen."
