Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1169: Animals in Natlan Can Become Spirits
Lin Lan planned to discuss the specific matters and management of the Nanzhou Xinghuo interim government with Yixian after arriving at the temporary port area.

After boarding the flying spiritual vessel prepared by Harbin, Lin Lan formally said goodbye to all the people from Natlan South State and flew towards the land of Dongzhou.

Traveling with them were the great Suzaku monsters, who revealed their true forms and flapped their wings to guard the surrounding air.

"Comrade Commander, the Suzaku clan plans to escort us to the Donghuang temporary port area in Linhai City, and then go to the Qinglong clan's territory to rest for a while."

Kirov explained to him in the corridor inside the spiritual device.

Lin Lan nodded. He knew that the Suzaku Clan was waiting for him to fulfill his promise and reshape the Lihuo Sacred Tree.

Originally, he was planning to help the Suzaku clan reshape the Lihuo sacred tree in Dongzhou.

But since Nanzhou will be rebuilt in the future, he changed his mind and planned to cultivate the saplings of the Lihuo sacred tree first, and then let the Suzaku clan take them back to the Yunze Wetland to plant them.

All the big demon clans have transactions in assets trade with the Hidden Sect. During this period of time, the Suzaku clan can recuperate in the Qinglong clan's territory.

"Commander, you looked very handsome when you threw the state king's seal just now."

As soon as Lin Lan introduced the good man Richard to Huajia and Dingan, Harbin smiled and patted him on the shoulder as a joke.

"I thought that there must be no king in Dongzhou. This is a rare opportunity, so I can abolish the king system in Nanzhou.

“After that, we have to ask the local officials of Dongzhou to cooperate with the official system of Nanzhou to carry out the reconstruction, but that is a story for another time.”

Lin Lan smiled and responded to Harbin's joke.

Since Yan Tiansi did not lend a helping hand to the people of Nanzhou and Dongzhou, don't blame them for carrying out reforms in the two states.

Just thinking about this, Lin Lan couldn't help but think about the current emperor of Natlan.

Including the Northern State, where the Soviet Union was first established in the Natlan Empire, the Eastern and Southern States are now under the management of the Donghuang camp.

Three of the five states have already slipped out of control, and it is impossible for the imperial rulers in the Zhongzhou Imperial City not to take countermeasures.

As expected, Yan Tiansi would come to cause trouble after he realized what was happening.

Nanzhou is basically uninhabited. It depends on whether Yantiansi will find Beizhou or Dongzhou first.

If he came to Dongzhou, he would have a lot of old accounts to settle with Yan Tiansi.

But if Yan Tiansi first causes trouble for the Beizhou Beilian ship girls, he will also have to consider whether the Soviet Alliance will launch a steel torrent to attack the imperial city.

He didn't mind if the Northern Alliance ship girls completely overthrew the Natlan Empire, but he was afraid that the only remaining royal bloodline of Natlan would be killed by a single cannon, which would be a lot of fun.

When they arrived at the deck of the flying spirit weapon after takeoff, Fushun brought Tashkent, Lingmin and Xiongmeng into his arms.

"Comrade Commander! You looked so handsome just now!"

The young mechanic from the Northern Union had shining eyes and gave him a happy smile.

"You must be joking. The commander is the protagonist who punishes evil and eliminates evil. It is impossible for the commander to become a dragon after all!"

Fushun was holding a handheld game console in his hand while speaking, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Lan couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two female old ghosts also came to him with smiles along with Ying Ruizhao and his sisters.

It was now late spring, and the bright sunshine was already somewhat warm, so several Donghuang and Beilian ship girls had already arranged pavilions and lounge chairs on the deck.

Lin Lan even noticed the small refrigerator and the unfinished drinks on the wooden table in the pavilion.

But what surprised Lin Lan was that he did not see Miss D and the Explorer.

Lang Yuexi and Xiao Baihu were not on the deck either. After greeting the ship girls one by one, Lin Lan was led by Fushun and sat down next to the pavilion with the girls.

"Commander, you must have not had a drink for a long time! Sister Ying Rui, it would be better for you to get a bottle of iced cola for the Commander!"

Seeing Ying Rui picking up the teapot and preparing to pour tea for Lin Lan, Fushun hurriedly stopped him and gave Lin Lan a cute smile that said "Look how well I understand you".

"Ahaha, that's true. Please get me a bottle of Coke. I haven't had a modern drink in a while. I need to savor it a little."

Lin Lan touched Fushun's little head lovingly and said to Ying Rui who also smiled.

As Ying Rui brought Zhao He to get two large bottles of iced cola, poured them into glasses with ice cubes and inserted straws for him and other companions, Lin Lan finally tasted the fat otaku's happy water after many days.

However, after taking a sip of Coke, the good man Richard frowned as he looked at the Coke in the glass:
"Hmm, I feel like this Coke tastes different from the Coke I remember."

Not only the good man Richard thought so, Mercury Memorial also said in confusion:
"I feel that compared with the cola in Minato, this cola has too little carbonation and is sweeter... although I think it's great."

"Really? I think this is the taste of Coke that I remember... ah, I see."

Lin Lan recalled the flavor of the cola he drank in the White Eagle camp, and quickly realized the reason, and said with a smile:

"The recipe for Donghuang Cola is this, good man Richard. The cola you remember should be the pure White Eagle flavor. Now just adapt to the local customs and experience the new drink."

"Commander, you're right. These colas were produced in the temporary port area after we arrived in Dongzhou. The formula was improved according to the preferences of our Donghuang companions."

Ding'an finished speaking with a smile, cut the lemon handed to him by Zhaohe into slices, and put them into everyone's cups with a bamboo stick:
"If Miss Richard is not used to it, I will go to the kitchen to mix the White Eagle Cola later~"

"Ah, thank you Sister Ding'an, no need to trouble you."

In response to Ding'an's enthusiastic inquiry, the good man Richard was flattered and waved his hand quickly.

Looking at the happy scenes of the girls around her, Lin Lan finally felt like letting go of all her burdens and fully enjoying the relaxing feeling of traveling and vacationing.

To be honest, being a king is not as free and easy as being a commander.

He doesn't even care about his identity as the President of Oran.

After playing with the little destroyers for a while, Lin Lan looked at Kirov and Harbin and asked about his confusion:
"Where did Miss D and the explorer go? Are Lang Yuexi and Little White Tiger still in seclusion and not leaving with us?"

The one who answered his question was Harbin, who was discussing with Huajia whether to choose peanuts or cold cakes for afternoon snack.

"Look at my memory. I forgot to tell you about those Natlan people making such a big fuss just now."

The black-haired leader of Donghuang smiled apologetically and replied:
"Ms. D and the explorers are trying to synchronize with the base in Dongzhou. They want to rely on... the Bridge of Death. Yes, in short, they want to rely on the Bridge of Death to rebuild the communication network.

"Lang Yuexi continued to retreat after arriving on this spiritual vessel. Commander, you also know that in immortal cultivation novels, the higher the level of the cultivator, the longer the retreat time. I asked Miss D, and she said there is no need to worry."

"As for the pet you caught...it seems like she became a spirit last night."

Originally, Lin Lan was still thinking about whether Miss D’s Bridge of Death could establish a stable communication channel with the Beilian Ship Girl Temporary Port in Beizhou.

But Harbin's last sudden change in tone immediately disrupted his thoughts.

"It has become a spirit?"

He repeated the word stupidly, but couldn't figure out what Harbin meant.

Seeing his expression frozen, Harbin realized that he had not made himself clear, and changed his words with a smile:
"Oh yes, the animals in Natlan can become spirits. To be more precise, she transformed into a human."
