Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1458: The Mughal Empire's Sailboat Girl
"Dear visitors from afar, welcome to the neutral city-state of Omirogha Island."

When the three tall sailing ship girls saw them coming towards them, the blonde girl in the lead took the initiative to step forward and spoke to them with a polite smile.

"It seems that you are not surprised by our arrival?"

Lin Lan observed the three sailing ship girls, took off his hat politely and asked.

In fact, a few minutes ago, he had also learned through Memphis meta's radar that three sailing ship girls were waiting for them here.

Perhaps because he had bumped headfirst into the force field of the goddess statue before, the sailing ship girl of the Goddess Church learned of their visit.

And that's exactly what happened.

Seeing him take off his hat to greet them, the three blonde sailing girls couldn't help but look at his forehead.

"Pfft, you just bumped into the energy wall of the goddess's protection. It's a relief that you didn't get hurt."

A playful sailing girl with a lively personality covered her mouth and chuckled as she joked, but when she noticed Miss D's angry expression, she put away the smile on her face.

Lin Lan touched his nose and forehead awkwardly, but he was not angry. He smiled and said:

"We have no ill intentions. The power that was just resisted by the Goddess's Sanctuary is only a part of the power I control. I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

"We know, otherwise we wouldn't be waiting here for you and everyone else."

The blond sailing ship girl from the Goddess Church smiled at him and said, turning sideways to make an invitation gesture to them:

"Then, Commander of the Hurricane Fleet and all the guests, please join us for a chat. We will do our best to answer your questions."

Lin Lan nodded to the girls beside her, followed the three sailing ship girls from the Goddess Church up the stairs, and walked into the cathedral together.

"Wow, this is my first time actually walking into the interior of the Goddess Church. It is indeed more magnificent inside than outside!"

As he approached the church, Portsmouth Adventure was immediately attracted by the clean, dignified and luxurious architectural style around it, and he kept exclaiming.

Especially the various porcelain artworks and exhibits placed on both sides of the road made Portsmouth adventurers' eyes shine.

"Haha, Miss Treasure Hunter, the props inside the church were all purchased from the guild with legal funds. You are not allowed to secretly pack them up."

"Ah, I, I just touched it, hehe."

Hearing the reminder from the blonde ship girl in the lead, Portsmouth, who was about to touch the exhibit, risked retracting his hand and smiled awkwardly.

Compared to the unsophisticated Portsmouth adventure, Lin Lan, the two arbitrators, and the meta ship girl were quite indifferent to the scenery here.

If he had just traveled through time, he would definitely have paid full attention to the decoration style of the Goddess Church.

But after going through so much, this place was just some strange and novel buildings to him.

His attention was more focused on the attitudes of the three goddess church ship girls towards him.

When he learned that the other party was waiting for his arrival, he had prepared a lot of speeches.

After all, he was the one who used the power of invisible breath first, but was blocked by the force field of the goddess statue. The other party would most likely regard him as a disaster.

However, to his surprise, after seeing him, the three sailing ship girls of the Goddess Church did not even ask too many questions, but invited them directly into the church in a friendly manner.

Even if the other party knew that he was the commander of the Hurricane Fleet, they should not be so unguarded.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the appearance of Portsmouth's adventure that the Goddess Church is a holy place that is extremely difficult to enter in the minds of all sailing ship girls.

Fortunately, he didn't have to think too long, as they arrived at a church reception room where a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared.

What surprised him was that a considerable number of the dishes on the table were Indian-style cuisine.

Unlike the stereotypical impression of Blue Star being dirty and messy, these curry-based Indian dishes are delicious and appetizing just by looking at their appearance.

"Commander and guests, if you have anything to say, let's talk while we eat."

Hearing the gentle invitation from the blonde sailing ship girl, Lin Lan was not polite and took a seat with the girls beside her. If the food here is poisonous, the female kitchen goddess meta and the two arbitrators can scan it out immediately.

So instead of making excuses, it’s better to just go with the flow and eat some of the fruits and dishes on the table while asking for information.

As for why not eat to your heart’s content?
He had promised Marco Polo and the others that he would have dinner with his own ship girls tonight.

"Are these all for us to eat? Then I won't be polite!"

However, what Lin Lan did not expect was that as soon as Portsmouth Adventure sat down, he started to show off by picking up food crazily and without any courtesy.

This made Lin Lan and the three ship girls of the Goddess Church's sailing ships stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled.

Portsmouth's risky behavior inadvertently brought the two sides closer together and reduced their sense of trust.

"Oh, come on, I forgot to introduce myself."

The blonde sailing ship girl raised her glass to him and said with a smile:

"I am Fatah, a priest appointed by the Goddess Church to this neutral city-state. It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency, the commander of the Hurricane Fleet."

"Fateh... Nice to meet you too."

Lin Lan raised the golden wine glass filled with wine, toasted the girl on the sailing ship, drank it, and answered with a smile.

I have to admit that Omirogia Island is worthy of being the wine-making holy land of the Goddess Church.

The wine here tasted excellent, even better than many of the fine wines he had tasted in Natlan.

But after hearing the other party introduce himself, Memphis meta who was sitting next to him seemed to realize something and whispered to him:

"Commander, the name Fatah... seems to have been recorded in the history of the original world. She seems to be a sailing frigate from the Mughal Empire."

Lin Lan had already guessed the background of this sailing ship girl as soon as she saw the Indian food on the table.

What Memphis meta said also confirms this.

The Mughal Empire actually existed not only in the original world, but also on Blue Star.

This was a powerful empire that stood in Asia during the Age of Discovery and once dominated the Indian Ocean. It was also the last feudal dynasty in India.

Unfortunately, with the continuous aggression of the royal and iris colonists, the royal camp finally won, and the Mughal Empire completely became a royal colony and eventually perished.

Fortunately, similar situations will definitely not occur again in this city-state world.

Fatah, the sailing frigate of the Mughal Empire, also gained a new identity after becoming a ship girl.

"Okay, Miss Fateh, let's talk it out."

After Lin Lan briefly recalled the history of the Mughal Empire, he asked the sailing ship girl who was looking at him with a smile:

"Why did you take the initiative to invite us into the Goddess Church?

"Logically speaking, I triggered the goddess statue's defensive energy wall. Shouldn't you treat me as a disaster and an enemy?"

After hearing his statement, all the girls at the table looked at Fatah.

The blonde girl on the sailing ship gracefully picked up a grape from the plate with her fingertips, as if she was thinking about how to answer his question.

"Hmm... How should I put it? Actually, I don't know why, but when I saw you, the Commander, I felt that you were trustworthy, so I invited you and everyone else to be my guests."

Just when Lin Lan and the girls around him thought that Fath would give some valuable answers, the sailing girl thought for a long time, tilted her head and gave an answer that made them all stunned.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table fell into an eerie silence.

Only Portsmouth took the risk and still devoured the curry and steak.
