Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1663 Iris Tribunal

While going deep into the basin with Richelieu and Jean Bart to the Iris temporary port, Lin Lan also received a communication from Helena meta.

They have met up with the Gascony team that Richelieu had just sent over, and have begun stabilizing the node beacon around the warehouse.

The Empire followed Bayard to the Inquisition.

After learning from Hei Hai Ma that node reinforcement would take about two hours, Lin Lan asked Helena meta to come to the Tribunal to find him later.

The Iris Tribunal is not far from the Dome Cathedral.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he saw the courtroom in front of him, which was significantly different from the other buildings on the street.

This is a three-story exquisite iris-style building with a dark gold square spire. From a distance, it looks like a small palace.

In front of the courtroom, two tall Iris ship girls had already been waiting there, staring at him with smiles on their faces.

Leading the group was a pink-blond woman wearing a black hollow fishtail skirt and a shoulder-length maroon cloak.

He holds a long black staff in his hand, and his exquisite and beautiful face reveals a restrained and graceful temperament, appearing very low-key.

But Lin Lan knows very well that this seemingly gentle and low-key queen, who seems like a big boss hidden behind the scenes, actually has fighting power and brains that are completely different from her low-key temperament.

"Welcome back, Commander... Hehe, the two sisters are accompanying the Commander on both sides, so there is no room for me."

Facing Richelieu and Jean Bart who were hugging his hands tightly, he not only did not salute the silver-haired girl behind him like a knight, but instead narrowed his eyes, greeted him softly, and joked with the two of them.

The tall lady in black who could speak to Richelieu and Jean Bart in such a casual tone was none other than the leader of the Inquisition, Clemenceau, the third Richelieu-class battleship.

The tall female knight with long silver-white hair behind Clemenceau is the number one dessert chef in the port area whom Lin Lan has always been thinking about, the battlecruiser Dunkirk.

Unlike his cold appearance, after Dunkirk performed the chivalric salute to them, his pair of scarlet eyes looked at him gently, with a deep love that seemed to be tangible.

After being teased by Clemenceau, Richelieu and Jean Bart seemed to realize that they had been sticking close to the commander all the way, and they let go of his hands.

At the same time, Jean Bal snorted and said unhappily to his sister:
"We are trying to prevent you from borrowing the commander without anyone noticing. After all, this has happened before."

"Hehehe~ The commander will not officially return until tomorrow. I won't be so anxious today and delay important matters."

Clemenceau looked at him with a playful look. Lin Lan knew that what Jeanbart and Clemenceau were talking about were Clemenceau's personal stories in the previous games.

After spending the day with him, Richelieu and Jean Bart in the port area and playing with Command Cat, Clemenceau kidnapped him for a tryst at night without telling anyone.

Recalling the funny things that happened in the past, Lin Lan smiled even more and was about to say hello to Clemenceau and Dunkirk.

But Clemenceau seemed to have predicted that he was about to speak, and suddenly took a step forward and put his right index finger to his lips.

The Iris Battleship lady in front of him had a mysterious smile on her delicate face and spoke softly:
"Commander, if you have anything to say, please wait until you have tasted the desserts that Dunkirk has carefully prepared.

"In our hearts, you have never left us, so forget the polite words."

Lin Lan smiled and nodded when he saw the expectation in the eyes of the silver-haired battle cruiser behind Clemenceau.

Just like Clemenceau said, he never gave up on his girls from beginning to end, and his girls all firmly believed that he would come back.

It was precisely because of this bond that there was no need for polite words when they met. So after Richelieu and Clemenceau exchanged a few simple pleasantries, they were invited by Clemenceau and Dunkirk to enter the courtroom.

Unlike the eerie and scary scene that Lin Lan had imagined, the decoration and layout of the lobby on the first floor of the courtroom was just like an ordinary government affairs hall.

Several chirps were sitting behind the counter, busy processing documents. When they saw him coming, they happily waved their little wings at him and chirped.

Coming to the second floor, it looks more like a reception room carefully decorated by the Iris camp.

There are all kinds of luxurious iris-style furniture and reliefs, and even several potted plants planted by the iris ship girls are placed on the balcony.

The appetizing aroma of desserts wafting from the kitchen makes the place full of warmth.

After everyone sat on the soft sofa next to the coffee table, Dunkirk poured each of them a cup of fragrant black tea, then smiled at him and went into the kitchen to continue preparing desserts.

Looking at Dunkirk's back, Lin Lan's stomach started to growl uncontrollably.

He hadn't had lunch yet, and the aroma of the desserts baked by Dunkirk immediately whetted his appetite.

"Haha, looking at the Commander's expression, do you feel that this place is different from the court you imagined?"

Clemenceau, who had been keeping his eyes on his face, took a sip of the tea elegantly and then asked him with a smile.

Lin Lan did not need to be restrained about his own ship girls, and said with a smile:

"Um... the courtroom I imagined would be dominated by black and red tones, with many torture instruments placed on the wall for torturing heretics."

Hearing his answer, Clemenceau, Richelieu and Jean Bart all laughed out loud at the same time.

"There are no heretics in the Commander's port area, so the Iris Inquisition will naturally focus on performing clerical work.

"Sometimes, mysterious incidents that occur in the port area are collected and summarized by the Inquisitors and investigated secretly."

Richelieu chuckled softly and said, while Clemenceau raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling above him:
"As for the torture instruments the commander mentioned, they are still there in the confinement room upstairs.

“However, those torture instruments are only used to scare disobedient children in the port area. For example, Fushun and Abercrombie are often sent here by Miss Zhenhai and Miss Guanghui.

"Oh, sometimes White Eagle will come to the Court of Inquisition's confinement room to shoot movies."

After Richelieu and Clemenceau’s popular science, Lin Lan also realized that the Iris Tribunal was not as scary as he thought.

After all, the Iris girls will not interfere too much with the beliefs of other camps in the port area, and can even fight side by side with the materialistic Northern Alliance.

Therefore, there is naturally no such thing as torturing heretics. At most, stereotypes are used to scare the mischievous children in Hong Kong.

"Excuse me, how do you usually scare them?"

Thinking that the fearless adventure king Lao Shun and the naughty ghost Ju Paopao had actually been sent to the courtroom's solitary confinement room, Lin Lan's curiosity was aroused.

"Well... generally speaking, in order to make the naughty kids realize their mistakes, we in the court will teach them according to their aptitude."

Clemenceau, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have guessed that he would ask this question. He flipped his white palm, took out a thick photo album from the ship's storage space, opened it and placed it on his lap.
