Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1173 Natlan Folk Tales
After Fushun finally calmed down and confidently expressed his determination to win the MVP, the explorer showed Lin Lan and the ship girls on the deck the 3D projection of the experimental agency base.

At the same time, the explorer also briefly explained the relevant data of this stronghold to everyone.

"Based on the current speed, we will arrive above Fortress NL-β-74 in 35 hours and 07 minutes.

"The fortress was built at the bottom of the Great Dragon Silent Lake, which the Natlan people called it. One can enter the fortress only through the mirror system entrance arranged on the lake surface.

"Before the omen came, the permanent defense fleet of this base was mainly composed of Executors and Mass-Produced Type II, with three Breaker Type IIs specially strengthened by the Magic Cube Array as flagships."

Lin Lan was not surprised to hear the explorer's intelligence about the Antiks defense fleet in the stronghold.

Don’t think that the Type II Executor and Mass Production Type are just trash to his ship girls.

But even in Orlan, where there are chess piece ship girls, Antiks's Type II fleet can easily crush them.

For the Natlan Extreme Masters who can cultivate extreme power, perhaps only the Yuanying Realm masters can barely escape from the pursuit of the Type II fleet.

For cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, there is only one way to go, death, if they encounter a Type II fleet.

"Um, Commander, I have a question."

Fushun looked around the stereoscopic projection, then asked him seriously:

"If the Sirens now are not enemies, should we try our best not to harm them after entering the Mirror Sea?
"My missiles are too powerful, they might cause accidental injuries!"

Before Lin Lan could answer the guide girl, Miss D, who seemed to have not yet recovered from the effects of losing in the game, said in an unhappy tone:

"Idiot! The host has terminated the Inquisitor Project. A normal Anticus fleet will not attack you!
"If the defense fleet attacks us, it means that the node system there has been compromised by a Category V threat.

"You don't have to do anything. I will also implement the arbitration agency's agreement to carry out a partial cleanup!"

Well, if Miss D hadn't brought up this matter, Lin Lan would have almost forgotten his experience at the Siren Fortress between Oran and Liaozhou, when the Purifiers and Clearers were frightened by the sudden visit of Tova and Lavos.

Although the arbitration agency and the experimental agency do not belong to the same system, the arbitrator can independently decide whether to carry out the purification work after discovering that the experimental agency base has been corrupted by X.

"That's good, this way I don't need to show mercy... Ouch that hurts!"

After hearing Miss D's explanation, Fushun just smiled on his little face when Harbin hit him on the forehead with a finger, causing him to wail in pain.

"You are such a crow's mouth. Can't you just hope that the Siren fleet in that stronghold is not corrupted and there will be less trouble?"

Harbin finished speaking with a smile, and Tashkent, the purple-haired girl from the Northern Alliance, nodded and said:

"That's right. Wouldn't it be nice to get back to the port area earlier? Tashkent has already overdrawn a whole year's worth of exercise during this expedition."

In response to the Northern Union's ice beauty's complaints, Lin Lan smiled dotingly and touched Tashkent's head.

From the North Province to the Central Province, all the way across the South Province, and finally to the East Province.

This was indeed a long attack for Tashkent and the other four Northern Alliance ship girls.

Especially since Tashkent has the same hidden homebody attribute as Evil, Tashkent now just wants to stay in his room and recuperate for a while.

Just when joking about Fushun with Tashkent and the others, Lin Lan noticed that Harbin seemed to be looking at the three-dimensional projection of the stronghold thoughtfully.

"Harbin, what are you thinking about?"

He walked over to Harbin and asked.

"Well, I didn't think much of it. I just wondered why we didn't find these Siren strongholds before."

Harbin smiled brightly at him and explained, “The commander may not know that places like the Great Dragon Silent Abyss are considered to be extremely dangerous areas by the Eastern Province Natlan Extremes.

"In Natlan, there are many exaggerated rumors and legends about these areas. In addition, they are rarely visited by people, so we never associated them with Sirens before."

The rumors and legends that Harbin told not only made Lin Lan curious, but also Fushun and several destroyer girls came over.

"What? I think I heard something interesting!"

Even though he was still covering his red forehead, Fushun seemed to be used to it. He still looked at Harbin with full energy, his eyes gleaming with anticipation:
"Before, Harbin-sister was always worried that I would take risks alone, so she didn't tell me these things. But now that the commander is watching me, Harbin-sister can finally tell me!"

As Fushun spoke, he happily pulled at the corner of Lin Lan's clothes.

"If Anshan knew about this, he would definitely blame me."

Lin Lan smiled helplessly.

But these things can't be taken seriously anyway, just listen to them for fun and to pass the time.

So he nodded to Harbin, indicating that Harbin could say whatever he wanted.

"Oh, they are just unrealistic and exaggerated stories."

Harbin waved his hand carelessly and said with a smile:
"For example, some people saw many strange creatures after entering a dangerous place, and after escaping, they found that they had crossed the entire Nanzhou and Duanzhou River and arrived at Xizhou thousands of miles away;
“Or someone may be trapped in a fantasy world for several days, and when they come out, hundreds of years have passed in the outside world.

"In short, these folk rumors are all unreliable and untrue. Many similar stories can even be found in Donghuang history books. If you ask Hai Tian, ​​she can recite hundreds of them for you. So they have no actual reference value at all."

Although that was the case, Harbin's story still piqued Fushun's interest, and he kept asking Harbin questions like a curious baby.

In order not to spoil the interest of the King of Adventure in the Port Area, Lin Lan quietly walked to Miss D and asked in a low voice:
"Are these things really not caused by you, Antix? Why are the examples Harbin just cited so similar to the Door Network Node?"

"Stupid assistant, it's only been a few years since the experimental institute was discovered and entered this world, how come those stories are hundreds of years old!"

Miss D looked at him as if he was an idiot when he answered. Lin Lan smiled awkwardly.

The main reason was that before this, whenever he and the other ship girls encountered situations that were difficult to explain, they could always rely on Antiks.

These Natlan folk tales, which have been passed down from generation to generation for who knows how many years, are probably not the work of Antix.

However, at this moment, Miss D seemed to have thought of something and whispered to him in a low voice:

"However, when I turned on the Death Bridge switch this morning, I actually found some high-authority encrypted experimental documents in the experimental agency's NL region offline database.

"But the Death Shadow is not my management machine, and its authority is only at the agent level. In addition, I can't contact the host machine now, so I have no way to decipher the confidential experimental data encrypted by the host machine... It really makes me angry!"

Seeing that Miss D was a little angry, Lin Lan smiled and comforted her with a few words. After coaxing Miss D down, he fell into deep thought again.

He knew that it was impossible for the experimental institutions in the Natlan Empire not to conduct some dangerous experiments.

The high-authority information in the experimental agency's database may only be known after he finds the observer, or the Clearers and Purifiers.

"It's time to eat!"

Time gradually came to evening, and the light of dusk fell on the deck.

Following Zhao He's shouting, Lin Lan, who was playing online games with Fushun and the others, stood up.

The first day of their journey back to the Donghuang Temporary Port Area came to an end in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
