Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1446: Speculations about the City-State World
Although it was surprising, at least the words of Elizabeth meta and Miss D proved one thing.

That is, the experimental institutions within the city-state world are indeed deeply connected with the original world.

Lin Lan even vaguely felt that the city-state world might be the first experimental field established by Antiks since the destruction of the original world.

After all, the experimental fleet models and weapons here are so old, plus the mental samples of the testers, are enough to prove this.

He asked Helophon whether he could find relevant information in the arbitration authority's database.

The answer they got was that there was no relevant information in the databases of the three arbitrators.

"It seems that we can only collect more information when we meet the experimental agency fleet."

Lin Lan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the slightly cooled royal black tea, and looked at the ship girls sitting in the conference room:

"Since Ling allowed you to come to this world, I think it is very likely that the research project of the experimental agency here is about the world wall.

“This is a completely closed experimental world, and the speed of time flow is completely different from the world we have lived in before.

"Combined with the fact that the tester Testa has already appeared, the Builders and Purifiers are likely to be there as well. We have to search for their offline host towers as soon as possible."

His analysis made all the ship girls and the three arbitrators present show expressions of approval.

Lin Lan paused and looked at Miss D:

"I've decided to go look for the Hurricane Fleet tomorrow... Miss D, did they all return to the city-state world after the battle on the ice field?"

The hooded lolita Miss D nodded to him and said:

"That's right! I don't know what technology they used. They said they were looking for an assistant, but they disappeared directly on the Natlan Icefield. Even I couldn't track their signal!"

"That's right. It seems that what Hemu said about the Hurricane Fleet becoming active again recently was not a lie."

After all, Hemu and Portsmouth had only met him for less than a day, and their impression of him was only friendly at best.

Of course, he couldn't completely believe the information revealed by the cunning red-haired sailing girl, so he had to confirm it with Miss D.

However, since it was confirmed that Royal Wealth and the others had returned to the city-state world, Lin Lan thought about it for a while and made arrangements for the next itinerary:

"Silly Black, you, the Royal Ark meta, and Lavos stay around the singularity to prevent the experimental agency from invading the singularity.

"Memphis meta, Vesta meta, Miss D, and Herophant, you will set out with me tomorrow to reunite with the Hurricane Fleet."

With two meta battleships and the powerful Lavos guarding the singularity, he could set out with confidence to reunite with the Hurricane Fleet and investigate the City-World Experimental Agency.

However, when Elizabeth heard his decision, she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

"Memphis meta, our communication with the Queen's Light has not been restored yet?"

Elizabeth meta suddenly turned her head to look at Memphis meta and asked in a serious tone.

"Ah... Although we can barely connect with York City meta and all normal signals, the communication channel is always under strong interference."

Memphis meta also realized something, raised his hand to draw an illusory screen, and continued with a frown:
"This strong unknown communication interference does not seem to be a technology mastered by the experimental agency. Could it be the law that comes with the city-state world? Or has the experimental agency already established a world root system?"

"Well, servant, this is the situation anyway."

After Shahei finished his report on the Memphis meta, he gave Lin Lan a worried look:
“It can interfere with the meta communication channel controlled by the arbitration agency and this king. There are still many doubts in the city-state world.

“I will investigate the cause of the interference in the long-distance communication channel. If you meet up with Royal Fortune and the others, it would be best if you could come back first.

“Remember not to take it too lightly.”

Lin Lan nodded to the lolita meta queen who instructed him, and also promised seriously:

"I will be careful, don't worry." The meeting officially ended here.

After finally returning to the city-state world, Lin Lan naturally warmly invited all the meta ship girls and arbitrators to join him in the banquet.

If he remembered correctly, the seafood in the city-state world that had never been contaminated was a must-see.

Especially when he just deployed the floating island base, he heard Marco Polo and Andrea say that Southwest Wind and other destroyers had begun preparing for the fishing competition.

After so much time has passed, they must have gained a lot.

Faced with his invitation, the girls in the conference room of course readily agreed.

So after Lavos left the Agent Fleet behind to monitor and build the defense system, the group used the teleportation device again to return to the Iris Cruiser he had come on.

"I say, Servant, you are leaving tomorrow. Do you have to pay homage to the king tonight... hmmm?"

But when everyone left the singularity mirror sea, Elizabeth meta secretly dragged him to the side of the deck and whispered to him in an expectant tone.

Looking at the petite and cute white-haired, red-eyed meta queen in front of him with a faint blush on her face, looking at him affectionately, Lin Lan felt his heartbeat quicken a bit.

"Of course. How could I let you guys who are left behind be lonely?"

He reached out and gently smoothed Elizabeth's white hair that was a little messy due to the sea breeze, and agreed on the spot and said jokingly:
"If only Silly Bai could be as straightforward as you. She probably wouldn't be able to say something like this."

Hearing him talk about another Elizabeth, the petite meta queen blushed and sighed, and said in a doting and nostalgic tone:

"I hope she can stay like this forever, Servant, thank you for taking such good care of her."

At this point, Elizabeth Meta's red eyes were covered with mist:
"I have always known that I was supposed to be wiped out by X along with the original world. It was you who changed the fate of my death.

"Because of the cognitive distortion brought about by the bad omen, I actually forgot about you for a while, but that feeling of emptiness is constantly eroding my mind.

"It is a miracle that I can meet you again. How can I not express my love for you?"

Perhaps because she had finally said everything that was in her mind, crystal clear tears slid down the face of the white-haired, red-eyed meta-battleship loli.

This made Lin Lan not think much, he just half squatted down and hugged Elizabeth meta in front of him tightly in his arms.

"Hmm? Commander, Her Majesty the Queen is..."

But just as he felt the soft body in his arms trembling slightly because of crying, the voice of the Royal Ark meta suddenly sounded from beside them at an inopportune time.

"Stupid, stupid Royal Ark! Who asked you to come here?!"

Almost in the next second, Elizabeth, who was hugged by him, was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She blushed and yelled at the heavy lolita control aircraft carrier.

"Your Majesty, I, I am not concerned about..."

"Who asked you to care about me at this time? I'm sorry that the king still cares about you, idiot! Big idiot!"

Lin Lan listened to Elizabeth meta's arrogant tone, which was almost exactly the same as Sha Bai's, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.

Perhaps the meta ship girls are all so deep in despair that their minds are worn out.

But he believes that as long as he is by their side, one day he will be able to heal the mental trauma of the meta ship girls.

Even though the day would be long, time was no longer a problem for him.

Who says he is the commander?
