Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1165: The Current Situation of the Different World after the Omen Begins

"Commander, the Purifiers, Constructors, Testers, and Eliminators are still in the port area. Yunxian will confirm this with them tomorrow."

Yun Xian pondered for a moment and said to Lin Lan:
“Since you were taken to Natlan by the Watchers, they have established a new Antix base around the port area.

"But if the commander can get in touch with the observer, perhaps he can learn more about Natlan."

Hearing Yunxian suddenly mention the observer, Lin Lan remembered that the person with the highest authority in the experimental agency seemed to have entered the space-time turbulence with him at that time.

The intelligence he consulted from the explorers all came from offline databases.

Moreover, with the explorer's authority, there is a lot of information that cannot be accessed. After all, this is Antiks's style.

What's more, given the observers' personalities, it is very likely that a lot of important information will not be told to the testers.

As long as he can find the observer, he can obtain intelligence from Natlan or any other country.

"I understand. When I get to the Donghuang temporary port, I will try my best to find observers."

Lin Lan picked up the scented tea that Shinano had re-poured, took a sip, and nodded.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the principle of the God-killing curse that devoured the lives of the Natlan royal siblings.

As a Class V threat pollution source that is a precursor to the advent of X, it has a myriad of ways to use high-dimensional power.

Among them are invisible superior predators that can devour other pollution sources like invisible breath, and also types that are like ominous omens and specialize in mental erosion of meta-ship girls.

"Could it be that the ability of the Type V threat suppressed by the Natlan royal bloodline is causal... No."

Thinking of this, Lin Lan suddenly recalled the rumors he had heard from Ji Rong and Ji Ju.

The ancestors of the Natlan royal family took the initiative to plead with the Natlan goddess to suppress the foreign evil demons in their bloodline.

Combined with what the little sword spirit said, the power of the Goddess Natlan is cause and effect.

It is likely that the Natlan royal family had their family's transformation into X-avatars reversed by the Natlan goddess, in order to seal the Type V threat.

In other words, the reason why the Arbitration Authority and Yunxian were unable to save the siblings was not because this Type V threat was too strong.

The reason for this is that the ancestors of the Natlan royal family had already sacrificed the fruit of their clan's future.

Even if this Category V threat disappears, it cannot change this inevitable outcome.

Only if the goddess Natlan or he can eliminate the fifth type of threat and unlock the law of cause and effect, can the inevitable death of the Natlan royal family be changed.

After Lin Lan analyzed all of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

If he had not personally performed the secret art of cause and effect, he would not have been able to see through the truth of the God-killing Curse.

Willing to sacrifice the future of his clan to fight against the invasion of higher dimensions, with such awareness, the ancestor of the Natlan royal family is truly the well-deserved human emperor of Natlan.

After telling Yunxian his analysis and the things about the inheritance of the demon king, and asking her to arrange for Ariel to inform Jian Qianou to bury the siblings, Yunxian thought for a moment and showed him an expression of admiration:
"If this is true as the commander speculated, it would explain why there were no signs of corrosion on the siblings before the God-killing Curse broke out.

"Yun Xian already knows about this matter, Commander, you can rest assured."

After confirming the truth about the God-killing Curse, Lin Lan asked Yunxian and Shinano some questions that he was more concerned about.

Although Lu Li's soul was sent back by the good man Richard, she is still in a dormant state.

In the words of the tester, Lu Li's soul was transformed into a beacon by Dibel. Even if it was reshaped by the omen, it would still take some time to adapt to the physical body.

As for this "certain period of time", I don't know how long it is.

To Lin Lan’s surprise, there was no news about other meta ship girls.

Shinano explained to him that this might be because the space-time turbulence at that time was mainly connected in Natlan, which was why most of the meta ship girls came to the Natlan area after crossing the world wall.

But when Lin Lan asked how long it would take for the port fleet to arrive in Natlan, Yunxian and Shinano both looked hesitant.

"That's right, Commander."

Yun Xian looked at him with reluctance and explained to him patiently:
"As the omen of bad luck came, Anticus detected several Class V threat pollution sources sneaking into this world together." These pollution sources, with the help of the Nightmare Fleet, most of them are lurking in Anticus's strongholds in the ocean, seriously interfering with the safety of the routes.

"Especially the sea area from the port area to the Natlan Empire and the Teaching Country is almost filled with a large number of nightmare fleets... So, Commander, please wait for a while. We will be able to pick you up at the beginning of next year at the latest."

Although Lin Lan felt a little regretful, she still nodded in understanding.

If it was just the Nightmare Fleet and the Category V threat, with the ship girls of the four major camps in his port area, plus the experimental agency and three arbitrators, it would only be a matter of time before the route from the port area to Natlan was opened.

No matter how difficult a Category V threat is, it can be eliminated as long as we can break through the encirclement of the Nightmare Fleet and attack it directly.

With three powerful arbitrators as the main force to clear the way, he doesn't even have to worry about his ship girls getting hurt.

This is also a good opportunity to test the actual combat effectiveness of the floating fleet and enhance the experience of his ship girls in fighting against X.

As time passed in the dream, Shinano seemed to realize something and sighed softly.

The fox lady looked at Lin Lan with reluctant eyes and said:
"Commander, you will wake up soon. Next time, I will try to connect the dreams of other companions with you."

"Is it still possible? Wouldn't it be very convenient?"

When Lin Lan heard Shinano say this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

If I could see ship girls from other camps in my dreams, it would be equivalent to making a video call even if the means of communication were ineffective nowadays.

But Xin Nong waved his fox tail behind him and said to him regretfully:
"Commander, due to the influence of Category V threats, I cannot guarantee that I can successfully establish contact with your dreams every night.

"So the companions from other factions that will appear with me in your dream are also completely random."

Lin Lan smiled and waved his hand and said:
"It's okay. Just try to take turns with each camp, and don't force it."

As he finished speaking, the two Sakura Empire ship girls in front of him and everything in his dream began to gradually become blurry.

Lin Lan also stood up and hugged him with the two Sakura Empire ship girls and said goodbye softly.

But at this moment, Yun Xian suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered in his ear:

“Commander, Yunxian suddenly remembered that the tester said that the observer would most likely go to the Antix main base in the Natlan area.

"That base is located in the icy mirror sea that the Purifier told us about, which separates Natlan and the Doctrine Kingdom.

"Shinano has informed Bishop Richelieu of this matter through a dream. Please pay more attention to the Northern Province..."

Although Yun Xian's words disappeared completely before she finished speaking, Lin Lan still extracted all the key points from them.

"The Ice Forest, Antix's Stronghold, the Iris Church..."

Thinking that he had originally planned to go to Beizhou to reunite with the Beilian shipgirl this year, Lin Lan felt it necessary to wait until he arrived at the Beilian temporary port area and go there in person to take a look.

If Richelieu sent the Iris Fleet to the Cliff Ice Forest, he might be able to see the Iris Fleet girls on the frozen ground.

As he made arrangements for his next trip in his mind, Lin Lan slowly opened his eyes.

The sound of birds singing could be heard outside the window and the sky was already bright.

However, when he sat up from the bed, he found that there was no one around him.

At the same time, he could faintly smell the aroma of some steamed pasta coming from the window.

"It seems that the girls on the Donghuang ship don't have the habit of staying in bed. I can't always sleep in, otherwise I will definitely be disliked."

Lin Lan sighed with a self-deprecating smile. Just as he was about to get dressed and go out to wash up, he froze on the spot after glancing around the room.

Because he discovered...

There wasn't a single change of clothes in the entire bedroom.

Even the bath towel from last night was taken away by Harbin and the others.
