Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1241 He is quite nice
Harbin's Honglan Order means that Lin Lan and the Donghuang ship girls don't have to worry about the invasion of monsters and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ocean with peace of mind.

Compared with the oceans of the Blue Star, the oceans of Natlan have never been polluted by industrial waste and are full of pristine vitality.

At Changchun's suggestion, Lin Lan also took a group photo with the girls near the railing.

According to Harbin, it takes about two hours to get to Dragon Palace.

They passed through a dense forest of dark green seaweed and encountered a group of lively dolphin monsters who could speak human language.

"Wow, is he the commander you finally found? Welcome to Natlan!"

"The great demons of the Suzaku clan have told us about your deeds, the great hero who saved the people of Nanzhou!"

These dolphin monsters seemed to be extremely familiar with Fushun and Harbin. They happily swam with them and transmitted messages through the power of their limits.

Lin Lan also smiled and waved to greet the group of dolphin monsters, but he really didn't expect this new identity of a great hero that was circulated among the monsters.

After Harbin and the Dolphin Demons exchanged pleasantries for a while, they explained to him:

"Commander, they are the subordinate demon tribe of the Azure Dragon Clan who fought with us last time. They are also scouts of the Dragon Palace."

After the words fell, Fushun also introduced him with a smile:
"They can also transform. You'll be able to see them when you get to Dragon Palace!"

However, after hearing Fushun's words, a dolphin demon with several scars on its body spoke in a deep voice like a queen:

"We are very sorry to all the benefactors of Donghuang, but we are currently on a mission and cannot accompany you to the Dragon Palace."

"Eh? Mission?"

Seeing Fushun's puzzled expression, he did not hide anything and told Lin Lan and the ship girls the content of the mission assigned to them by the Qinglong Clan:

"The Dragon Gate Festival, which is held every five years, has arrived. However, you may not know that this festival, which is regarded as a celebration by the people of Dongzhou, is the day when the seal of the ancient forbidden land, Guiming Sea Cave, is loosened.

“Hundreds of years ago, we, the Sirens, had to collect living sacrifices from the coastal humans and use their souls and spirit power to strengthen the seal to prevent the suppressed demons in the Guiming Sea Cave from escaping.

“But when the Evil Lord came to Dongzhou, he didn’t know how to completely stabilize the seal and release all the human souls within it.

"From now on, we, the sea monsters, only need to deliver the collected Dinghai Stones to the Guiming Sea Cave on the day of the Dragon Gate Festival. We no longer need to collect living sacrifices from the human race."

After listening to what the dolphin demon said, Lin Lan frowned slightly.

Long time ago, the Longmen Festival did have a ritual of offering living sacrifices, but it was abolished later.

He and the Donghuang ship girls all knew about this.

Ancient forbidden areas are not uncommon in Natlan. The Yunze Wetland in Nanzhou is also officially classified as an ancient forbidden area in Natlan.

But the problem is, isn’t the Evil King being possessed and controlled by a Type V threat?

Why did he abolish the Longmen Festival's ritual of living sacrifice and release the innocent human souls in the ancient forbidden land?
"Eh? Now that you mention it, then, the Evil Lord is a pretty good person."

"Foolish Fushun, the reason why the Evil King is called the Evil King is that he must be a super villain!"

Just as he was thinking, Fushun's words while scratching his head and Lord Feiyun's correction made him laugh and cry.

The evil king's abolition of the ritual of human sacrifice did indeed prevent tragedy for countless innocent people in Dongzhou, but he always felt that the evil king's purpose must be more than that.

Combining the projection of the mural provided by the explorer, the evil king was wearing a black dragon robe tattooed on his body. He couldn't help but whisper to the explorer beside him:
"Are the locations of Guiming Sea Cave and the base of the experimental institute very close to each other?"

"To be precise, the NL-β-02 experimental defense base is built in the mirror-like sea area directly above the Guiming Sea Cave."

But the next second, the explorer's bland answer made Lin Lan raise his eyebrows.

it is as expected.

The experimental agency must have conducted some secret experimental projects in this base.

The torso of the Invisible Breath...is very likely the subject of research by the experimental agency.

After realizing this, Lin Lan discussed with Harbin and Anshan for a while and quickly made a plan.

They first went to the outskirts of Guiming Cave with this group of dolphin monsters, and tried to investigate the situation in the mirror sea before going to Dragon Palace.

"Everyone, our commander is very interested in the Guiming Sea Cave. Can we go with you?"

"Of course, the Dragon Palace Patriarch and the Young Patriarch are not here now, so we can feel more at ease with all of you benefactors accompanying us."

Facing Harbin's application, the dolphin demon clan agreed without any hesitation, and even had a bit of happiness in his calm tone. So after Lin Lan told the Donghuang ship girls about his judgment, the flying... no, the submersible spirit weapon also turned around and headed for the deep sea area with more than a dozen dolphin demon clans.

From the talkative dolphin monsters, Lin Lan also learned that the big dolphin monster with several scars on its body was the leader of the dolphin monster tribe, Shu Yuechao.

The leader of the Qinglong clan, like the Suzaku clan, led the clan's great monsters to the frozen land of Beizhou in order to inherit the legacy of the Monster King.

Under the mediation of Donghuang and Beilian ship girls, the young clan leader Ao Jiuxiao resolved the misunderstanding of the feud between the two clans caused by the Wu family with the Qianjiao clan living in the Duanzhou River. A few days ago, he led his people to the intersection of the Duanzhou River in Zhongzhou and Dongzhou.

Because of this, the two siblings Ji Rong and Ji Ju from the Suzaku clan who just arrived two days ago have the highest cultivation levels in the Dragon Palace right now.

In addition, there is the ninth-rank demon who stayed behind to guard the Dragon Palace, the patriarch of the Kunpeng clan.

As the diving depth becomes deeper and deeper, gradually, the sunlight can no longer shine around.

So Harbin turned on the searchlights, illuminating the surrounding deep-sea areas.

"It's true, the quality of the Natlan spiritual weapon modified by the barbarians is really good. It can even withstand this water pressure."

Lin Lan watched the surrounding environment become dark and gloomy, with only the occasional small glowing torpedoes and jellyfish appearing. So he joked with Haitian and Haiqi, who were sitting in the pavilion on the deck after getting tired of standing.

"Hehe~ Aren't the mass-produced submarines in the port area also made with the help of the barbarians?"

Haiqi had already finished putting together the wooden toys he had started to assemble in the morning.

The light patrol girl from Donghuang cut the thin leather into a white uniform style and pasted it on the limbs that looked like a wooden puppet.

"Haiqi, are you acting as a shadow puppet?"

Lin Lan looked at the handicrafts made by Haiqi with curiosity and recognized what Haiqi was doing.

"Hehe~ How about it, Commander, can you tell whose shadow I am playing?"

The brown-haired cruiser girl raised her head and smiled sweetly at him.

Lin Lan pointed at himself and replied with a smile:
"You still haven't cut out a navy cap."

"Ah, I almost forgot. Luckily the commander has sharp eyes."

Haiqi was stunned at first, then he found that he had not cut out the commander's uniform cap as Lin Lan said, so he hurriedly picked up the scissors and began to modify it.

"Hehehe~ Commander, do you know that Haiqi has always wanted to make more handmade products for you."

Haitian gently handed him a cup of freshly brewed green tea and said with a smile:
"She was worried that the handmade product would not match the Commander's current appearance, so she didn't dare to start until she met you again."

After hearing Haitian's explanation, Lin Lan smiled, took a sip of tea, and caressed Haiqi's head lovingly.

But it’s different from the warm atmosphere here.

The four guiding girls, who are enjoying a rare vacation together, are playing an online game with Feiyun, Longwu, Huben and Harbin.

"Wow, Sister Anshan, please enlarge it! Why don't you enlarge it!"

"I, I forgot the button combo for the ultimate move..."

"Sister Anshan, if you don't enlarge me, I will be killed by Feiyun Lian! Ah, I died again~~~"

Attracted by Fushun's wailing, Lin Lan noticed that Fushun's little face had been pasted with several small punishment notes not long ago.

"S-Sorry, I haven't played games in a while."

Anshan looked at Fushun and saw Feiyun sticking another note on his face with a wicked smile, and said with a blush.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as Sister Anshan and the Commander are here, I'm willing to kneel down!"

But Fushun, with notes all over his face, made a happy face to Anshan, which rekindled the fighting spirit in Anshan's eyes.

"Since my sister believes in me so much, then we, the Four Great Vajras of Donghuang, will definitely win the next round!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Lan, Haitian and Haiqi all burst out laughing.

Although this honeymoon trip has some twists and turns, and there may be many crises ahead, the most important thing is to enjoy the present moment.
