Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1303 The Blue Cult and Herophant's Mission
"Aurora, you said that the Soviet Alliance sent you to the frozen land to join the Iris Knights?"

Upon learning the purpose of Aurora and her friends' expedition to the frozen land, Lin Lan put down his chopsticks in surprise.

Not only him, but also Mercury JIAN and several Donghuang girls sitting at the dining table looked at Aurora with surprise as she took off her winter coat and wore only a vest, revealing her perfect figure.

"Yes, Comrade Commander, according to Clemenceau's letter, the Iris Knights have been sent to the frozen land in the direction of the Teaching State by Richelieu."

Aurora said this calmly. Gangut, who had just finished drinking the Water of Life, exhaled and said angrily:

"If it weren't for the Siren Defense Line of the Builder and Juebi Bingsen, we would definitely be able to reunite with the Iris Fleet. The Siren have the home advantage and we have no way to start!"

Lin Lan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Since the Builder appeared in the cliff ice forest stronghold above the frozen ground, the Observer and Laplace's Demon are most likely located there.

Based on his understanding of the strength of his Iris Ships, they would definitely not encounter any danger in the frozen land in the direction of the Church.

Even the Northern Alliance ship girls can easily destroy the aliens of the Teaching Nation who have been transformed by the experimental agency, and the Iris ship girls can do the same.

As for why the Observer and the Builder did not allow Iris to reunite with the Northern Alliance ship girls, he could vaguely guess the reason.

After all, there is still the ancient Class V threat pollution source in Natlan that was suppressed by the godslaying curse and has already affected the entire territory of Natlan.

In addition, there is another host of the bad omen on the side of the Doctrine, Helophont, so in order to completely isolate the area, it is understandable that the experimental agency blocked the Doctrine of Natlan and Saint Losolon.

I'm afraid that the Spark Column messenger who helped Clemenceau deliver the letter from the Teaching Country was also allowed to go only after repeated observation by the experimental agency.

Lin Lan immediately asked Aurora why they were going to look for the Iris Knights to come to Beizhou.

But the answer he got made him and all the girls present gasp.

“Commander and everyone in the East Province should have known that a mysterious organization called the Blue God Cult appeared in the Western Province of Natlan, and the geography and climate of the Western Province also changed dramatically overnight.

"Although we are currently on good terms with the Blue Divine Cult and have jointly dealt with the war caused by the famine in Western Province, but..."

Aurora took a deep breath and said to him in a serious tone:

"According to the research of Dr. Chkalov and Princeton Meta, all the Natlan people who joined the Azure God Cult have more or less X energy fluctuations."

As if to make a distinction, the cat-eared aircraft carrier girl Nakhimov added after Aurora finished speaking:

"It's not an evil cultivator who has been corrupted by a Category V threat pollution source. It's a real, X energy fluctuation."

After a brief pause, Miss D shouted with an ugly expression:

"Are you sure?! No, wait, if that's the case, no wonder there's an attachment area projection in the experimental institute base!"

The Mercury Memorial Meta, who was eating steak as if no one was around, froze in his tracks, with horror written all over his face.

Lin Lan instantly understood why there was an X-shaped attachment area projection around the singularity in the mirror system in Dongzhou.

The real X had somehow evaded Antiks's surveillance and sneaked into this strange world!

But after his shock, he was filled with doubt and confusion.

The coming of X often announces the end of a world.

Although both them and the Category V threat pollution sources can be generally classified as the mysterious enemy X.

But he already knew the difference between the two.

Why this time, they did not destroy this alien world as swiftly as they did in the original world, but instead chose to use a "gentle" invasion method of erosion like the Type V threat?

Even the Blue God Natlan people who were corrupted by X still retained their self-awareness and were willing to make friends with the Spark Column?
"How strange...X is actually doing charity work."

The sighs expressed by Changchun and Fushun were also what he was thinking at this moment.

"But comrade commander, although the Blue Cult is related to X, they are still very cooperative with us at present." Gangut saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, so he smiled at Lin Lan in a relaxed tone:

“According to the investigation, although they built statues with mimicry, there was nothing unusual other than that.

“Even the leader of the Blue God Cult attends classes seriously every day and accepts guidance from the comrades of the Spark Column we sent.

"When the leader learned that we were looking for Kirov and Mercury to commemorate them, he took the initiative to call on the people of Xizhou to help."

As soon as Gangut finished speaking, Lin Lan heard Miss D pouting and mumbling softly:
"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. What is going on in the NL-γ area? Has the experimental agency reported such an important matter to the host?"

Listening to Miss D's mumbling, Lin Lan suddenly had an idea that even he couldn't believe.

"Miss D, do you still remember the mission that Osta gave Helophon when she was born?"

"Of course I remember."

Miss D didn't understand why he suddenly brought this up with Herophant, but she answered without hesitation:
"As the first arbitration body [Pope] to be born, Helophon was given extra communication and affinity when the Inquisitor was first designed. It took on the responsibility of being a business card to the outside world, eliminating the stereotypes of the public about the Antix system and obtaining more political and public opinion resources.

"The enhanced communication system allows Helophont to not only communicate fluently with humans, but also understand and imitate various non-human languages ​​after continuous iteration and upgrading."

His conversation with Miss D attracted the attention of the other girls at the table.

Even the Mercury Memorial Meta was curious to hear about the past secrets of this original arbitrator.

After getting the same answer as what Riosta said in the game plot, Lin Lan took a deep breath and asked Miss D his second question:

"So you still remember what Anjie wanted Herophant to do?"

"Dr. Angie wants Helophont...Assistant, is that what you're talking about?!"

A hint of confusion flashed across Miss D's eyes at first, but she realized something in an instant, and her golden pupils were filled with horror.

Lin Lan was not in the habit of playing dumb. He directly told his ship girls and the two Natlan girls the full picture of the original world memory he saw in the plot of the game event:

“During the crisis of the Kingdom of God on land, I lost my mind while leading you to the decisive battle with Helophon at the Sardinia Expo, and returned to the original world with Helophon.

"Dr. Anjie had envisioned using Helophon's communication abilities to help the Primordial World build a channel of communication with X."

During the event, he clearly remembered that Anjie and Osta had asked him about his opinion on the matter and gave two different options.

Osta believes that X is uncommunicative, and Angie's actions will lead to the destruction of the original world.

Anjie hopes to use Herophant's ability to communicate with the higher-dimensional X and have a second choice besides fighting.

As a player at that time, he chose to click on the screen to support Dr. Angel.

After making this choice, Anjie suddenly asked Herophant, who originally wanted to use the ship-mounted weapons to directly behead him, how she got along with him.

Angel's question made Helophon immediately give up his attack on him and disappeared without a trace.

The crisis of the kingdom of gods on land caused by Marco Polo was thus resolved without any danger.

"Speaking of the Kingdom of God on Land... Commander, Clemenceau also mentioned Marco Polo in his letter to us."

But while Lin Lan was still thinking about whether Helophon had gotten rid of the bad omen at that moment, and whether the real X could communicate, Aurora told him another piece of heavy news:
"Marco Polo and several companions from the Sardinian Empire disappeared in the Tutorial State. Marco Polo also mentioned to Clemenceau the ritual of summoning the descent of the 'God'."

"What did you say?!"

This time, Lin Lan's originally calm heart finally became chaotic.

You know, Herophant, who is now used as the host by the source of evil, is still in the teaching country!
Could it be that Marco Polo's mind was affected by the bad omen again?
