Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1496: Too Smooth a Voyage

"Hey, Commander, are you awake so early?"

Early the next morning, before dawn, Lin Lan, full of energy, came to the floating battleship restaurant which was still on the way.

To his surprise, there were already four Iris and Sardinia ship girls sitting here for dinner.

Alsace, Louis IX, and two Sardinian heavy cruisers, Zara and Gorizia.

It was Louis IX who greeted him with surprise.

Perhaps because they were back on a modern floating battleship, the four graceful ship girls had changed back into their regular uniforms.

Hearing the call of the knight with black silk and silver-gray hair in a blue and white knight skirt, the other three ship girls also noticed that he came alone.

"Eh?! Point, point at the Commander, you, you... Good morning!"

Compared to Pola who showed a playful smile and Gorizia who pouted proudly, Arthas had not put on the black metal crown yet because he got up early.

This made the blue-haired battleship girl look directly at him, her face instantly flushed and she became at a loss.

"Good morning... No, King Louis IX, please put the crown on Alsace!"

Seeing that Arthas was about to enter overheating mode, Lin Lan hurriedly reminded him.

Louis IX quickly picked up the crown from the table and put it on Alsace's face to cover her eyes. This calmed down the blue-haired girl whose skin was almost steaming.

"I actually didn't sleep at all. The sailing ship girls were too enthusiastic. I just took a shower and came here."

After seeing that Arthas was fine, Lin Lan explained with a smile to the four ship girls who had gotten up early.

Just at this moment, Manju from the restaurant also brought freshly baked breakfast to the counter.

So he went to order some Western breakfast, and after the four ship girls made way for him, he sat down at a table.

"Commander, even if you have the blessing of the little sword spirit, you still need to take care of your health."

Knowing that he had stayed up all night last night, Louis IX poured him a cup of hot milk and gave him gentle instructions.

"Well, I know what's going on."

After smiling and accepting the offer from the Grand Patrol Knight of the Holy See, he also asked curiously:

"How about you guys, how are you resting in the dormitory of the floating battleship?"

"Hehehe~ The dormitory here is very clean and spacious. We all had a good rest last night."

The red-haired elder sister Zara, who was sitting opposite him, smiled gracefully and then sighed:

“I never thought that the port area could already mass-produce such advanced mass-produced airships.

"As expected, only with the commander by our side can everyone in the port area unite together."

In response to Pola's sigh, Lin Lan smiled and put the fried egg on the plate into his mouth.

The flashback of yesterday's dream made him tell Boza what was in his heart:
"It's not because of me. It's because you always trust and love me that we can build this big family of Minato together."

Hearing what he said, the four ship girls sitting next to him all smiled happily.

"Okay, I won't say these sentimental words to you anymore. The commander has become much more slick than before~
"You should eat more breakfast to replenish your body. If it's not enough, I'll go to the kitchen and make some for you."

After Boza ended the topic with a chuckle, Lin Lan had breakfast with the four ship girls.

Miss D, the navigation AI, learned from the battleship's surveillance that he had woken up when they were halfway through their meal, and rushed to the restaurant.

"Assistant, assistant! Didn't you have any abnormal situation last night?" The black-haired arbitrator loli rushed towards him as soon as she entered the room and asked him with concern.

"If there is anything unusual, I will definitely find you first."

Lin Lan put down the knife and fork in his hand, comforted Miss D, and asked again:
"Where are we now? How long will it take to reach the coordinates of the Sea of ​​Sleep?"

"It is estimated that in another 5 hours and 22 minutes, we will arrive at the coordinates of the Sleeping Sea!"

After Miss D quickly reported the current progress of the voyage, she frowned and said to him and the four ship girls:
"But there is one thing that is very strange! We have not encountered any sampan skeletons or remnant fleets along the way! The sea conditions and weather are also very good for our journey!"

"What's so strange about this? Didn't we already find that those monsters and experimental fleets related to X were actively avoiding us?"

Lin Lan looked at Miss D in confusion, and Miss D shook her head frantically and said to him seriously:

"No! Assistant, this is weird!
"After exchanging intelligence with Helophon, I discovered that our journey was too smooth!"

Seeing that he was still confused, Pozza's sister Gorizia realized something and reminded him:
"Commander, have you forgotten where this place is?"

After hearing what Gorizia said, Lin Lan finally realized that something was wrong.

Yes, this is the city-state world where the sailing ship girls were born!
The reason why several sailing ship girls use "Hurricane" as the name of their large fleet and camp is precisely because of the raging sea storms that can be seen everywhere in the waters of the city-state world!

If storms at sea were so rare, the sailing ship girls would not almost all settle on the island with the statue of the goddess.

But since they entered the city-state world...

It seems that he has never seen even a storm at sea.

"So, Miss D, what do you and Helophont have to speculate on this situation?"

Lin Lan drank the hot milk that Louis IX had just poured for him, looked at Miss D and asked seriously.

“Under normal circumstances, the experimental agency can achieve this using the weather controller in the mirror sea area!
"But I didn't sense any energy fluctuations from the Rubik's Cube at all! The mirror sea area can't possibly cover such a large area!

“That’s why I said it was weird!”

After listening to what Miss D said, Lin Lan for some reason remembered the mysterious weak voice that came into his mind at the end of his memory fragment last night.

“Let the fleet switch to deployment mode in the surrounding waters before reaching the Sea of ​​Sleep.

"Even if someone is really behind this, at least from what we have seen so far, they have not shown any hostility towards us.

"This situation is most likely related to the City-State World Experimental Organization. Perhaps they have developed a technology that has not been reported to the Antix network."

Soon, he thought of a countermeasure and reasoned with Miss D.

"That's right! If the local experimental facility is not shut down, and the system here is different from the host network..."

As if agreeing with the conclusion he had drawn, Miss D excitedly muttered a bunch of professional terms that he could hardly understand.

"Okay, who among us understands what you're saying? Have you had breakfast?"

Lin Lan decided to take a walk around the deck of the floating battleship later.

Seeing that Miss D had just arrived at the restaurant, he took the initiative to invite her and asked.

But at this moment, Miss D suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted excitedly to him and the four ship girls:
"Assistant! Assistant! The fleet's radar system has detected the remains of an experimental facility in the sea ahead of us!"

However, before Lin Lan could ask about the situation because of this unexpected discovery, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he once again saw the white mist emerging around him, beginning to cover and change everything around him.
