Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1320: Beilian’s Welcome Banquet

The Demon King inheritance ceremony is just a small matter. Lin Lan actually has something else that he is worried about.

That is what the little sword spirit told him when they were in the Suzaku Territory of Nanzhou. The origin of the Zhenzhou Life Monument was the passage to the "Land of the Fallen Gods".

So far, he has only obtained the origins of the two state life steles of Nanzhou and Dongzhou gathered in Bai Qixue's body.

The origin of Beizhou’s life monument is easy to solve.

As the host of the Demon King Inheritance Ceremony, the Xuanwu Clan will definitely bring it to the location of the Demon King Inheritance Ceremony.

But the origin of the life monuments in Xizhou and Zhongzhou is a bit difficult to deal with.

However, Lin Lan changed his mind and decided that since it was so convenient to go to the polar stronghold from the Beilian temporary port, he might as well go to the place where the demon king's inheritance was first.

If the two states' zhizhi tablets are really very important, then it won't be too late for him to find a way to collect them.

While walking and chatting with the Northern Alliance ship girls, I introduced three "old friends" executors on the battlefield to the Soviet Alliance, Kuibyshev and Kursk, and the corridor finally came to an end.

As the automatic glass door opened, Lin Lan suddenly felt the environment in front of him become clear.

They have arrived at the dormitory area for the Northern Alliance ship girls, which is an enclosed greenhouse that looks like a park.

The ceiling above is covered with a holographic projection screen in the early morning, and the various carefully trimmed green plant landscapes seem to have no end in sight.

Lin Lan even saw the stream flowing slowly, wondering where the clear water would flow.

If he hadn't turned around and seen snowflakes floating outside the corridor window, he would never have imagined that the beautiful scenery before him was indoors.

“Is this… a closed ecosystem?”

He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air with the fragrance of moist earth seeping into his lungs, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Haha, to be precise, this is the product of the combination of a closed ecosystem and mirror technology."

The Soviet Union smiled with a hint of pride, and Kuibyshev explained softly for him:

"Didn't Comrade Nakhimov download a navigation map for you yesterday? Commander, you can come and try to find the location of the cafeteria."

Lin Lan also remembered this incident after being reminded by the short-haired light cruiser girl who was the political commissar.

Practice makes perfect. Kuibyshev was giving him this opportunity to find the way himself.

"Let me see……"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile device and opened the navigation software.

As the software started up, he could clearly see the various areas and route maps of the Northern Alliance Ship Girls' dormitory area on the flat map.

As the area where the Northern Alliance ship girls usually rest, the passage exit here is not only connected to the office building they came from, but also to the warehouse and scientific research area.

If you want to conduct an attack exercise, you can go directly to the port through the passage connecting the warehouse.

As for the dormitory area alone, in addition to the cafeteria and grocery store, there are also separate activity venues and sports fields.

The canteen they were going to was only a few minutes' walk along the stream.

Thanks to the Soviet Alliance’s explanation just now, Lin Lan also understood why they couldn’t see the cafeteria even though they were so close to it.

Although the number of Northern Alliance ship girls is small, their mastery of mirror technology is not inferior to that of the four major camps.

So, under his leadership, they passed through the green belt full of birdsong and flowers, and soon arrived at the canteen location marked on the mobile terminal screen along the stream.

He also saw the restaurant sign standing on the lawn, which even had balloons and ribbons hanging on it.

"It's really a banquet style. I'm looking forward to what the cafeteria will look like."

Lin Lan could sense that the mirror space entrance leading to the restaurant was ahead as indicated by the road sign.

"Ahem, Commander, wait a minute for me to get ready."

But seeing that he was about to walk straight into the entrance, Kursk spoke to him somewhat awkwardly.

This lonely heavy cruiser lady with a lone wolf personality obviously guessed what would greet them next, she closed her eyes and began to take deep breaths to calm herself.

Seeing this, Lin Lan was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Kursk, who didn't like the crowds, to calm down.

"Comrade Commander, how about I go in and talk to everyone first?"

Kuibyshev whispered in his ear, but Lin Lan smiled and shook his head:
"Based on my understanding of Fushun and the others, if you go in first you will definitely face the first round of pranks. I'll take it."

"Pfft, I didn't expect that Comrade Commander has been tricked into giving him some experience."

Kuibyshev laughed softly at his amusement, and Kursk finally opened his eyes and said with a straight face:
"I'm ready, Commander, let's go to the feast."

"You have attended so many banquets in the home port. This time, we are all family. Don't be nervous." Kirov smiled heartily and patted Kursk on the shoulder to comfort him, which eased Kursk's fearful expression a little.

Seeing that several Northern Alliance ship girls were ready, Lin Lan simply straightened her collar, took the hand of her Soviet ally, and walked into the mirror space entrance of the cafeteria side by side.

"Bang! Boom!"

The next second when he stood firm, the muffled sound of a hand-pulled firework tube rang in his ears.

"Comrade Commander, welcome to the Northern Union!"

The girls cheered in unison, and Lin Lan found herself standing in the lobby of a restaurant building with brown classical decoration style, which looked like a tavern.

The colorful ribbons and balloons falling from the sky, as well as the destroyer girls such as Fushun and Firepower coming towards him with bright smiles, made the first thought in his mind be that this naughty kid didn't mess with him today.

But he changed his mind and quickly understood the reason.

The Soviet allies around him were known in all camps for their stern and serious image.

Even though the Soviet ally seemed very approachable and caring like an older sister when he was with her.

But in most occasions when it appears in public, the Northern Alliance flagship has an "icy aura" that keeps strangers away.

If there was a list of people in Hong Kong who "must not play pranks on" the naughty kids, Lin Lan had no doubt that the Soviet Alliance would be in the top three.

With a quick glance, he saw Harbin, Miss D, Good Richard, Lang Yuexi and Bai Qixue, all standing by the dining table filled with steaming breakfast with Gangut, Voroshilov, Aurora and the others, looking at him with smiles.

Mercury Memorial meta and Princeton meta were also standing in the corner, perhaps worried that their meta aura would affect others, so they took the initiative to distance themselves.

"I knew that the commander and my sister would definitely arrive early. Fortunately, we set up the cafeteria overnight."

Just when he was busy dealing with the cute little destroyers of Donghuang and Beilian who swarmed up to him and acted coquettishly, Soviet Belarus also came up to him with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The Soviet Alliance smiled faintly at his sister, then looked around at everyone in the cafeteria, cleared his throat and said loudly:

“I am the flagship of the Soviet Union, the Northern Union.

“Welcome to the North State, comrades from Donghuang, good man Richard, Antix, and two new comrades from Natlan.

"Mercury Memorial, Agile, Tashkent, Fierce, I am also very pleased that you can return safely."

As the supreme leader of the Northern Union, the Soviet Alliance must personally host the banquet on such occasions.

Lin Lan, holding Huoli in one hand and Changchun in the other, suppressed her smile and glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye.

He knew that the Soviet alliance was laying the groundwork for the next surprise.

"Commander, you look like that... Tell me what surprise you and your sister allies have prepared?"

Fu Shun keenly read his inner thoughts from the expression on his face, and asked curiously in a low voice, pulling on his clothes.

"Don't worry, just watch it."

Lin Lan had just finished speaking to the naughty guide, and the Soviet Alliance did not keep him in suspense. He slightly turned aside and spoke loudly again:
"But there is another comrade of ours who will also join the welcoming banquet today."

As the Soviet Alliance finished speaking, Kirov, Kuibyshev, Kursk, the three executors and the controlled machines appeared in the cafeteria.

"Kirov (comrade)!"

When they saw Kirov appear with a bright smile on his face and waving to everyone, all the ship girls in the cafeteria covered their mouths in surprise and joy.

“Once again, I would like to thank Comrade Commander for coming and bringing the lost comrades back to the Northern United Family.

"Let's get this party started!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had been aroused, the Soviet Alliance raised the corners of its mouth slightly, raised the ice crystal scepter in its hand high and announced.

Lin Lan, who was standing next to the Northern Alliance flagship, noticed that when the Soviet Alliance made the announcement, there seemed to be tears of happiness and relief in the corners of its eyes.

The Soviet Union was never a ruthless and dictatorial leader, but really cared about the feelings of every companion.

This passionate speech at the banquet was also to confirm to all the Northern Alliance partners who had been worried about her during this period that she had recovered.

"Okay, everyone take your seats, the party is about to begin!"

So amid the girls' cheers and celebrations, Lin Lan also smiled and called on everyone to start eating.

The Beilian Banquet held in the morning officially began.
