Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 647 The “big surprise” after the New Year Festival

Yes, compared to worries about Yun Xian and Musashi, this is the most critical issue Lin Lan is currently facing.

As a Donghuang native, he had never participated in a similar ceremony. How could he know how to deal with this bowl of well water?
Especially since Nagato had said just now that this bowl of well water still represented the best wishes from Sakurakan girls, he was holding it carefully, not daring to spill a drop.

Hearing his question, even Nagato, who made a dignified expression, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and almost laughed uncontrollably.

On the way here, she really forgot to explain to Lin Lan how to deal with this bowl of well water.

However, the well water that represents the blessing was originally offered to their gods. It is naturally up to the gods to deal with it after receiving the blessing.

The commander is the god in their minds, no, even far beyond the god.

However, in order to get Lin Lan out of the embarrassing predicament as soon as possible, Nagato smiled and shook his fox ears, and whispered to Lin Lan:
"You can just drink it."

After hearing Nagato's words, Lin Lan was relieved and drank the bowl of well water in one gulp under the eyes of the girls on the Chongsakura Ship.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that the cool well water tasted very sweet and delicious, which was completely different from the bitter taste of well water he had heard about when he was in Blue Star.

Well, maybe this small bowl of well water really entrusts the blessings of all the girls in the Chongsakura Ship.

Lin Lan thought to himself, while Jiang Feng stepped forward and took the empty bowl from his hand.

After walking down the steps with Nagato and Mutsu to a suitable distance below, the Kagura dance performance officially began.

Accompanied by the elegant accompaniment played by the Manju Band, which is extremely characteristic of Sakura, the miko shipgirls holding Kagura bells took light steps and elegant dances, and formed a formation extremely skillfully.

The Kagura dance performance officially began.

Although the styles and colors of their miko uniforms were different, their graceful movements were all uniform, and they all looked at Lin Lan with smiles on their faces.

Compared with the live performances he had seen at Baiying, the movements of Kagura Dance were not very difficult.

To the sound of slow-paced music, the miko ship girls followed the beat and gently shook the kagura bells in their hands, complementing the accompaniment of the music.

But such a simple dance, full of classical elegance, seemed to have a magical power that caressed his soul.

He could see that for this dance, whether it was the dragon god shrine maiden Shimanto, the little shrine maiden Haruyuki, or the sisters Chitose and Chiyoda who were wearing light and gauzy shrine maiden clothes with burgundy hair, they were all secretly dancing. I have practiced it countless times.

And when the dance of the miko Kanji came to an end along with the music, Nagato beside him whispered to him:
"All you have to do is smile back to them for their efforts."

Well, if Nagato hadn't warned him in advance like this, Lin Lan would have been ready to applaud.

Led by Fuso and Yamashiro, the shrine maidens and shipgirls in front of the hall bowed to Lin Lan together after completing the final cymbal movements.

And Lin Lan also smiled from the bottom of his heart to the several Sakura ship girls as the best response to this pleasing Kagura dance.

After all the miko and ship girls came to the stage one by one, Lin Lan, led by Nagato, climbed the steps together and arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

"I declare that the New Year Festival is over. Senior Mikasa, Shinano, and Hakuryuu, please follow us into the temple to discuss important matters."

"Everyone, please move freely first. The commander will come to accompany you later."

After Nagato announced the end of the festival, as expected by Lin Lan, he called on these three powerful Shige Sakura shipgirls.

It seems that something unexpected happened to the Demon King in the Shenmu Barrier.

"Commander, follow me."

Although many of the Chongsakura girls looked confused, they more or less guessed that there might be some unexpected situation in the Yushenmu barrier, and they needed the commander's help to solve it.When Akagi saw this scene, he smacked his lips in displeasure and wanted to step forward to ask, but Amagi held him back and stopped him.

"Sister Amagi, Commander and the others..."

Regarding Amagi's obstruction, Akagi turned around anxiously.

But Amagi just smiled at her and shook his head gently:

"Akagi, how did I teach you before, believe in the Lord, they will come back soon."

After saying that, Amagi let go of Akagi and reached out to touch Akagi's head.

"Then... let's wait here for the commander."

Akagi, who has always had a somewhat morbid personality, was like a good baby in front of Amagi. Although his heart was full of worries about Lin Lan and his tail kept wagging behind him, he finally listened to Amagi's words.

Kaga, who was standing with Tosa, saw Akagi in this state and signaled Tosa to go hang out at the stall outside the shrine, where she waited for Lin Lan with Akagi and Amagi.

Also choosing to stay were many Chongsakura shipgirls including Dafeng.

After Lin Lan waved apologetically to the Chongsakura ship girls, she quickly followed Nagato and Mutsu into the interior of the main hall.

Compared to the spacious and clean platform outside, there are many cushions and various priestly equipment inside the shrine.

But Lin Lan had no intention of looking at these carefully. He looked at Nagato's back and asked eagerly:
"Is there some emergency with Yun Xian and Musashi?"

After Nagato heard what he said, he turned around and shook his head at him:
"Commander, I would like to convey to the Great Sage, Musashi and Akashi their apologies for not being able to participate in the New Year Festival."

"The situation there is somewhat special, and you may need to solve it yourself."

While Nagato answered, Mikasa also led Shinano and Hakuryuu into the hall and came to Lin Lan's side.

Although Mikasa and Hakuryuu were both wearing kimonos, they both held the sheaths of their sabers tightly in their hands.

The white fox Shinano looked sleepy. She looked at Nagato and said in a lazy tone:

"Since I woke up in the morning, I have sensed energy fluctuations in the Godly Tree. Lord Shenzi, what exactly happened in the barrier of the Godly Tree?"

At this time, Mutsu seemed to be preparing some kind of cherry blossom technique. An elliptical illusory pale golden vortex was twisting and expanding in the space in front of Mutsu.

When Nagato saw the four people, including Lin Lan, with doubts in their eyes, he no longer pretended, and explained:

"Shortly before the New Year's Day Festival, the Great Sage sent a message from within the Yushenmu Barrier, asking me to take the commander into the Yushenmu Barrier after the New Year's Day Festival."

"Akashi Chenshi brought a 'Demon King' girl obtained from the Siren stronghold into the Godly Tree, and the breath of her body awakened the will of disaster remaining on the branches of the Godly Tree."

Hearing Nagato's flat explanation, Lin Lan's eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out in shock:

"What? The will of disaster...the invisible breath has been awakened?!"

He originally thought that although there was an accident in the Yushenmu barrier, it was not something particularly dangerous.

But what he never expected was that Nagato would tell him such a big "surprise".

The Invisible Breath is a terrifying existence closely related to the mysterious enemy X, and even has the ability to destroy the world!
Nagato actually told him such an important thing in a leisurely manner until now?
