Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1585: Tide Royal Court Sea Festival Ceremony
At the end of the southern continent of Saint Lothalon, there is a large coastal depression occupied by the Tidal Court.

To be precise, these depressions are actually located under the surface of the South China Sea almost all year round.

Only once every ten years, when the month-long Tidal Sea Festival arrives and the tide recedes, will this underwater residence belonging exclusively to the Tidal King's Court emerge from the world.

Before this, the Tide Court Clans from all over the continent of Saint Lothal will gather here along the rivers and hand over the secret treasures collected by the clans over the past ten years to the Royal Court.

Of course, these tidal clans will also receive different degrees of protection from the sea god Leviathan granted by the royal court at the Sea Festival according to the quality of the secret treasures.

Unlike humans and other Saint Lothal races, the bloodline power of the Tide Court people comes from these blessings from Leviathan.

If the power of blessing is not obtained after several sea sacrifices, whether it is the Great Naga or the Amphibious Murloc, even if it is at the legendary level, the magic and strength will decline rapidly.

Because of this, every Tidal Sea Festival is not only of vital importance to the Tidal Royal Court, but also highly valued by all forces in the entire Saint Losolon continent.

Especially for the Teaching Nation, the sea festival that only opens once every ten years is a great opportunity to obtain all kinds of magical props and rare materials.

After all, for the Tide Clan who came from afar, many secret treasures and materials might be difficult to gain the favor of the Royal Court and Leviathan.

However, these discarded materials and props can be used to exchange with the Teaching Country and other forces.

It is not uncommon for the materials and props obtained through exchange to be favored by the Royal Court and Leviathan, and to be granted a large amount of protection.

Under this premise, the sea sacrifice ceremony has gradually become a means for the Tide King's Court to demonstrate its strength to the entire Saint Losolon continent.

Especially whenever Leviathan responds to the call and descends from the deep sea to the sea sacrifice ceremony, the scene of countless foreign guests and tourists being shocked and dumbfounded makes every member of the Tidal Court feel proud.

However, Ragna Loko, the legendary great naga and the current sea god of the Tide King's Court, was sitting alone in the reef palace overlooking the sea in the depression late at night with a worried look on her face.

She hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in weeks.

the reason is simple.

The one-month sea sacrifice ceremony has begun, but no matter how she tries to call the sea god, she is unable to contact any Leviathan.

Although the Leviathans do not respond to the call and come to land at every sea festival, there are sufficient protective energy storage magic crystals in the royal court to activate the blood power of the tribesmen.

But the key point is that the Tide Court has not found even a trace of Leviathan in nearly ten years.

All the Leviathans seemed to have evaporated into thin air several years ago.

As the pillar of faith of the Tide Court, the disappearance of Leviathan was like the collapse of the sky for the Tide Court.

If she had not asked the high-ranking officials of the royal court to conceal the news, the entire Tide Royal Court would have been thrown into unimaginable chaos.

There is more to worry about for Ragnarok.

To make matters worse, the pagan ethnic groups in the royal court have not appeared for several years.

Many territories and mazes in rivers, lakes and seas, having no owners, were gradually occupied by other royal courts or human wild wizards.

Ragnarok has learned from other visitors to the royal court that the Knights of the Church and the Tower Mages throughout the southern region of the Human Teaching Kingdom have begun to stir.

If she could no longer summon Leviathan to demonstrate the power of the royal court during this sea sacrifice ceremony, the Church of Holy Light of the Teaching Nation, sensing an opportunity, would definitely begin to expand rapidly.

The Leviathan tribe is a pure legendary magic beast army. This is also the confidence and deterrent force that has enabled the Tide Court to maintain its foothold on land and compete with other royal courts and the Teaching Nation.

Without Leviathan, although the Tidal Court's basic base in the ocean will not be destroyed, it will definitely lose all the resource sources of rivers, lakes and reservoirs on the mainland, and its status will plummet.

"Da da da……"

Just as Ragnarok was rubbing her forehead under her brown curly bangs and sighing again and again, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

Soon, a high-level Naga who used magic to transform herself into the appearance of a young human woman walked in.

It was Logatis with a confident smile on his face.

"It's you, the guardian from Dragon's Breath Lake."

"It's an honor to be remembered by the Lord of the Sea."

Facing this tribesman who came from afar, Ragnarok sighed bitterly.

As early as just now, her magic field had already sensed the identity of the visitor. In the entire Tide King Court, there were hundreds of ordinary lake guardians like him, if not thousands.

However, the reason why she could remember the other party's name clearly was because the secret treasure that Logatis was escorting was looted by the devil. Although he came to this sea sacrifice ceremony empty-handed, he was not worried at all.

"Why did you come to see me so late? I remember that you have been teaching Guo Haidu to travel in the past few days, and you returned yesterday with the Paladin Academy delegation, right?"

Sometimes Ragnarok really envied these guardians sent from outside the royal court.

She was originally one of them, but when she faced the demons in the Soul Melting Plague War, she realized the secrets of water magic and entered the legendary level in one fell swoop.

She made a name for herself in the war by representing the Tide Court, and was therefore elected to become the Sea Lord of the Tide Court of this generation.

"Master Sea Lord, I'm telling you, I finally found the whereabouts of those missing pagans!"

"What did you say?! Where are they now?!"

When hearing Logadis' excited words, Ragnarok, who was sitting haggard on the throne, was suddenly shocked and stood up from the throne.

"My Lord, please don't be anxious. This is a long story..."

Rogatis was startled by Ragnarok's excitement, and he quickly waved his hands and said:

"And I only know roughly where they are, and I'm not sure how long it will take them to come back."

"No matter where they are, I will find them back."

Hearing Ragna Rocco's resolute voice, Logatis asked in an awkward voice:

"What if I say that they were abducted to another world by evil demons from outside the domain?"

"Warp space?"

"It's not the subspace... To be precise, it's a more distant world."

Logatis scratched his head, as if he was troubled by his inability to explain clearly:
"Anyway, they are all safe now. I can't say how long it will take for them to return."

Facing this young guardian of the tribe, Ragnarok didn't know what to say for a moment.

"So where did you get this news? Was it from the tower's prophecy spell?"

"Uh... that's not the case."

Just as Logatis was organizing his words and preparing to explain the source of the information, footsteps were heard outside the palace again.

But this time the footsteps were obviously hurried and the sound was extremely heavy.

Soon, a sea giant with a burly figure, about five or six meters tall, wearing heavy armor and holding an axe and shield strode into the reef hall.

He walked to Logatis, knelt on one knee, and said to Ragnarok in a muffled voice:

"Master Sea Lord, a large and strange flying magic device with no magical fluctuations at all suddenly descended from the South Sea, and is now hovering directly above the altar of the sea sacrifice ceremony."

"How dare it hover above the altar? Didn't you use magic to knock it down? This is a blatant provocation!"

Hearing this, Ragnarok said angrily in disbelief.

But the sea giant hesitated again and again, and finally replied with a buzzing voice:
“Magic bombardments of all attributes seemed to disappear into thin air, and even the magic circle could not stop it.

"Master Sea Lord, I think it would be best if you go to the scene and handle it yourself. There are already quite a few royal courts and tourists watching the scene."

When Ragnarok heard the words of the guards of the Sea Giant King's Court, her eyes almost went dark.

The thing she was most worried about finally happened.

But Logatis, who was standing next to the sea giant, seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

"Master Sea Lord, perhaps things are not as bad as you think. I will go with you to the altar of the sea sacrifice ceremony."

Finally, Logatis mustered up the courage to speak to Ragna Roko.
