Chapter 460. The roar from the middle of the night
The scope of Dragon Palace City is quite large. Although many places are not used by anyone, there is such a room.
For example, the guest rooms at Soryugong Castle are gathering dust. It may have been decades since someone last stayed there.
After being persuaded by the two young men Huang Xing and Kuai Xing, Kazan planned to live in the Dragon Palace City tonight.
But Feng Clay did not intend to stay. He wanted to find Tezzolo and the others to find out what was going on behind the scenes on Fish-Man Island.
During dinner, neither Neptune nor Shark came back, not even the left minister and the right minister. This made Kazan more intuitively feel how serious the situation facing Dragon Palace City is now.
In the entire restaurant, there were only Kazan, the two little princes, and the guards and maids who stood aside and said nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that Huang Xing and Kuai Xing were more active, this meal would have been quite deserted.
Kazan, who is used to eating in a lively and crowded environment with his brothers and sisters in the monster family, will definitely not be able to adapt.
In the past three years, these two boys have eaten alone together countless times.
Kazan glanced at the lively and happy faces of Huang Xing and Kuai Xing, and couldn't tell whether they had always been like this or whether they were like this because there was an extra person to eat with them today.
"Well..."
Kazan, who was sitting at the dinner table, watched a group of guards carrying huge dinner plates pass by and guessed whose food it was.
"That's Bai Xing's dinner. Bai Xing is our sister. She is nine years old this year. She...can't go out due to some circumstances, so we need to deliver the food to her door~"
Huang Xing noticed Kazan's gaze and explained a little to Kazan.
However, at this time, the star suddenly raised his head and glanced at the emperor hesitantly, and then glanced at Kazan. Being young and indecisive, he finally chose to lower his head and continue to work.
What he was thinking just now was whether he could ask Kazan to help their sister and solve the problem that caused Bai Xing to be unable to go out.
But considering that even Jinbei and his father are helpless, then Brother Kazan should also have a headache. After all, this is under the sea.
"That's it."
Kazan nodded, didn't ask or say anything more, and continued to cook in silence.
By the time dinner was finished, the guest room that had not been used all year round had been cleaned. There was no sea water in the room. It seemed that the room was originally built to welcome terrestrial creatures.
The room was huge, and the bed alone was almost twenty meters long. It was hard to imagine why a creature made this bed.
When Kazan came into this room, he felt as if he had shrunk several times, or in other words, the whole world had been enlarged.
"It's...an amazing experience."
Kazan looked at the huge things around him, took off his shoes and jumped onto the huge bed, and then his whole body sank into the equally huge and soft quilt.
Lying on the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling above the room, I fell asleep without even realizing it.
midnight.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"hold head high?"
Kazan, who was awakened by the inexplicable bombardment in the corridor, sat up in a daze and rubbed his messy hair.
"Did you accidentally fall asleep...Tsk, I didn't plan to go to bed so early."
Bang!
In the corridor, the penetrating and terrifying sound sounded again, as if some huge monster was smashing the door with a terrifying hammer.
"You're up so late at night just knocking on doors, right?"
The King of Monsters was not afraid of these little monsters and monsters. He jumped up from the bed and walked towards the door with two knives in hand.
He was in a bad mood after being woken up for no apparent reason.
Open your own door, step over the bubble wrap covering the door of the room, and enter the sea water directly.
The swimming coating applied during the day has now taken effect, and Kazan can't feel the slightest resistance on his body as he walks in the dark and huge corridor filled with sea water.
The two knives are different, they are not coated with swimming coating.
The water pressure on the knife is transmitted to Kazan's hands, so the speed of swinging the knife must be much slower than usual, and the combat power will be reduced.
"Where is it?"
Kazan walked deeper along the corridor, but when he came to an intersection, he became confused and didn't know which way to continue.
Bang!
Fortunately, that damn voice sounded again, pointing Kazan in the direction.
"Here, you're dead."
Following the sound, Kazan chose a path. As he walked, he walked out of the corridor and came to an open area.
"ah?"
Kazan was a little confused when he came here, and now he was confused.
What sound could travel such a long distance to his room?
When you come to this huge area, the first thing you see is a huge shell tower, and what's even more obvious is that on the door of the shell tower, there are countless huge and sharp weapons inlaid on the door.
The entire door is riddled with scars, numerous scratches, and dents, and is almost in pieces.
On the door, there are giant axes, long swords, throwing knives, halberds, spears...
On the ground in front of the door, there are meteor hammers, cannonballs, marbles, broken glass...
You can see everything here whether you have it or not.
It was only at this time that Kazan realized what the loud noises he had just heard were about.
"Is this Shirahoshi's room?"
Walking to the door of the huge shell tower, I looked at the huge door in front of me and the quiet and deserted environment around me.
It is unimaginable how a nine-year-old girl could have been locked up and lived in this environment for three years.
If such weapons would attack one after another in the middle of the night, causing all kinds of dull noises, then when would the children inside be able to sleep peacefully?
Loneliness, fear, isolation, sadness...all kinds of negative emotions are intertwined, and it's no wonder what kind of girl will be cultivated.
Phew.
Although the sound of the sea water being split by an unknown object could be heard in his ears, Kazan did not look back, but calmly raised the arm holding the black knife and flicked it lightly.
Valley/spankeng.
Click.
A saw that was supposed to be cutting into the huge iron door in front of him was cut in half with one knife. The saw was quite big, with a total length of about three meters.
"It's quite powerful."
Kazan glanced down at the saw that had been severed in two. There was no swimming coating on it.
In other words, the opponent can still throw a saw of this size at such a fast speed under such huge water pressure. His strength is definitely not small.
"It seems like he has some kind of devil fruit ability..."
Kazan frowned and imagined for a while, looking through the memories in his mind, he could vaguely recall several characteristics of that person.
That is, it has many legs, its appearance is somewhat similar to the legendary centaur, and it possesses a devil fruit ability.
This guy is definitely not a human being, but if it is a fish-man... a fish-man who has eaten a devil fruit must be a bit like that.
Kazan turned around and glanced at the direction the weapon was flying from, frowning, with obvious impatience in his two red eyes.
He hates people who attack children, especially a little girl.
However, this guy is probably located somewhere outside Dragon Palace City. His mobility alone is limited, so he probably won't be able to catch that guy.
It's impossible that Jinbei and Neptune didn't know about this situation. If even they couldn't stop it, then this person must have either a very superb concealment method or a very strong ability to escape.
"I need help from the little guys."
Kazan pinched his chin and couldn't think of any good way for a while. If he wanted to catch this guy, his younger brothers and sisters would probably need to go out.
If it comes to fighting, there's no problem in leaving it to him, but if you want to catch someone... There are specialties in the art, so you still have to leave it to the professionals.
Kazan looked at the door in front of him, hesitated for a moment and then gently pushed the heavy door open.
The large iron gate that usually required several Dragon Palace City guards to open was pushed open gently by Kazan with one hand without even making a sound.
Stepping over the bubble that covered the door, he closed the door gently with his backhand, and Kazan returned to the arid environment.
There was no sea water inside the shell tower. Kazan guessed wrong. He thought it would be sea water inside.
"Hmph..嘤嘤.."
As soon as Kazan entered the door, he heard a tiny and super cute voice sobbing softly.
With such a cute voice, her owner will definitely cry for a long time after being punched.
The room was dark, and Kazan could only see a huge bulge on the tall bed in front of him, which should be the little white star.
"Xiaxia..."
The voice of an unknown creature suddenly sounded. Kazan turned his head subconsciously and saw the creature beside the floating boat.
The creature seemed to remind Bai Xing that someone had come in. It raised its big head against Bai Xing and shouted anxiously.
"Huh? Who?"
Just when the creature made a noise, Bai Xing also stopped crying, sat up with his upper body, reached out and turned on the bedside light, making a trembling and soft sound.
The soft white light turned on, and all three creatures were exposed to the light in an instant.
Kazan first glanced at the creature that spotted him, it was a large shark wearing a small T-shirt.
Although this shark seems to be still young, it is already more than thirty meters long, almost catching up with Neptune's whale mount Hoai.
Originally, this big shark was standing in front of Bai Xing with a hostile face, but after taking a closer look at Kazan's appearance, his eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked, and the hostility on his face disappeared.
And Kazan also saw Bai Xing's appearance at this moment.
At a glance, Kazan concluded that when she became an adult, Shirahoshi would definitely be taller and stronger than the current King of Fish-Man Island, her father, the Great Knight of the Sea, Neptune.
I remember Huang Xing once said before that Bai Xing is only nine years old now.
However, the nine-year-old Bai Xing is already roughly nine and a half meters tall in Kazan's estimation, and will probably be more than twelve meters taller than her father when she becomes an adult.
The 'little fish-man' in front of her has curly cherry-pink hair, big watery sea-blue eyes, a childish little face with a little baby fat, and two spots of bright red on her cheeks, on her two ears.
There are also shell-shaped earrings on the top, and the lower body is a pink fishtail of alternate shades.
Because every sister in the family grew up under Kazan’s watch, and when they grow up, every girl is a stunning beauty in the world.
Therefore, Kazan could see the huge potential in Bai Xing just by meeting him for the first time. Just like in the original work, she would be a stunning beauty in the future.
"Mekaro, who is it?"
A soft voice sounded from behind the big shark named Mekaro, and the little girl carefully stretched out her big head and looked at Kazan.
"Hello duck~Princess Shirahoshi."
Kazan knew that he looked scary, and any child he saw for the first time would be frightened to tears, let alone a timid little girl like Bai Xing, so he tried his best to appear amiable and approachable.
"Ka...Lord Kazan! This...is this true?!"
When Bai Xing saw Kazan's true face, not only did he not feel any fear, but he showed an expression of surprise and shyness. He wanted to get closer, but he just hugged the quilt and snuggled next to Mekaro.
"Oh~ you know me, did Huang Xing and Qi Xing tell you?"
Kazan was relieved to see that the little girl was not afraid. He had already started thinking about how to comfort Bai Xing who was frightened and crying.
"Eh... did the two brothers know that Master Kazan was coming but didn't tell Bai Xing... Is Bai Xing disliked..."
Bai Xing suddenly became lost after hearing Kazan's words, and his two big eyes that were already moist were filled with water drops almost in an instant.
"No, no! I just came to Dragon Palace City today. I have been discussing important matters with your father and three brothers. It's normal that they don't have time to tell you. Don't cry!"
Kazan originally wanted to get closer and have a chat, but when he saw Bai Xing looking like he was about to burst into tears because of his casual words, he was immediately frightened.
He had never met such a difficult girl to deal with, and her level of crying had surpassed that of Kerla, the 'little crybaby' on the ship.
Kazan suddenly regretted coming in. He originally planned to come in and ask about the status of the things outside Little White Star, but now he didn't even dare to mention it.
"Is this like this... That's great, Bai Xing is not disliked by the two elder brothers."
Although Bai Xing loves to cry, he is also simple and easy to coax. He stopped crying immediately, which made Kazan relieved.
"Um...then what, Shirahoshi, where did you hear about me?"
Kazan hesitated for a moment and decided to let Little White Star get familiar with him first and then talk about business, so as not to accidentally make others cry again.
"Many people are saying that when I was a child, Shirahoshi would occasionally hear my mother-in-law and Jinbei tell me about Kazan-sama. After my mother-in-law left, my father and three brothers would come occasionally.
