Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1683: Pirates Have a Common Language
The entire ocean and space were instantly covered by a light blue curtain of light, and Lin Lan was closely protected by the girls beside him. He closed his eyes and felt the distortion of space during the transmission process.

After yesterday's experience, he was already familiar with the transmission process of the door network nodes.

Just a few seconds passed, and when he opened his eyes again, the island where the Iris temporary port was located had appeared on the screen in the navigation room.

The dawn light has just risen above the distant sea level.

But what moved Lin Lan was that Richelieu had actually led all the Iris ship girls in the temporary port area to wait at the island port.

He even seriously doubted that the girls from Iris had been waiting here since last night.

"Don't just stand there, Commander. We should go meet everyone at Iris."

Lin Lan came back to his senses from the brief shock after being gently reminded by Veneto.

"Well, let's go."

With the help of the observer using the fleet transmission device, he and the ship girls around him arrived at the port of the Iris temporary port area from the navigation room in an instant.

The sea breeze in the early morning still brings a hint of coolness.

But when Lin Lan saw Richelieu, Jean Bart and Clemenceau smiling as they walked towards them in the solemn formation of the Iris Knights, he felt only warmth and joy in his heart.

"Commander, you are coming back much earlier than I thought."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the first ray of dawn light fell on the Iris ship girls in front of him.

Bathed in the dawn light, the golden-haired lady Richie, the flagship of Iris, slowly walked up to him and stopped, like an archbishop of the Vatican draped in a golden sacred veil.

Yes, his Richelieu was originally the Bishop of the See of Iris.

"Didn't we make an appointment yesterday? I won't keep you waiting for long."

All the ship girls were waiting for his response. Lin Lan cleared his throat and finished speaking with a smile, his eyes scanning the Iris ship girls in front of him one by one.

He had clearly been here yesterday, but returning to the Iris Ship Girls at this romantic dawn that seemed like fate still made his heart surge.

"I am back."

Hearing his declaration, Richelieu's eyes welled up and he walked forward and hugged him tightly.

For the ship girls, they knew very well that although the commander only said these four simple words, they carried such great weight.

When the two embraced each other, the salutes that had been arranged at the port rang out, and colorful ribbons and iris petals instantly floated around.

The hymn was played triumphantly, and the gorgeous iris magic flowed across the sky like the aurora.

Alfredo and several Sardinian young reporters used their cameras to record this beautiful moment.

When Richelieu reluctantly separated from his arms, he politely welcomed Veneto, Rume, and Royal Fortune one by one, and rewarded Algeria and Iris' companions who had just returned today.

On such a day worth celebrating, there is no need to save the magic scrolls of teleportation.

Lin Lan asked the observers to leave the executor fleet and the floating battleships at the port, and then he and the girls used teleportation magic to come to the Iris temporary port area in the island basin.

Compared to yesterday, after a night of careful decoration by the Iris Fleet Girls and Manju, the Iris Temporary Port, which was originally like a flawless holy land, was now full of a festive atmosphere. The several Sail Fleet Girls and Iron Blood Fleet Girls who arrived for the first time were all amazed at the sacred architectural style of the Iris camp.

In response to this, Richelieu thoughtfully arranged for the foil and epee to introduce these iris buildings and the layout of the temporary port area to the new companions.

As for the camp supplies carried by the Sardinian ship girls in the floating battleship, Richelieu originally planned to arrange for the Iris Knights to help unload them later.

But after hearing Lin Lan talk about the plan they had just discussed, the Iris Knights who were on standby no longer had to worry.

Because they had already had breakfast on the way here, Lin Lan and Sister Li discussed and decided to set the welcoming banquet at noon.

During this period, the Iris Knights will lead the new companions and Sardinian companions to visit and familiarize themselves with the temporary port area and arrange the dormitories. The Iris ship girls who return from the trip can also go back to their dormitories to rest for a morning and prepare for the banquet.

He led Veneto, Carl, Black Sea Mama and Royal Wealth, and followed the three Richelieu sisters to the Tribunal again to discuss the itinerary back to their home port.

Dunkirk and Strasbourg would also accompany them as escorts.

Originally, Jinlu and Gang Yishawa were both worried about whether Royal Fortune could represent the Hurricane Fleet in the discussion, but Royal Fortune was quite confident about this:
"I am the great captain of the Royal Fortune. Besides, with the commander and Jean Bart here, they will never let us suffer any loss."

The confidence in Royal Wealth, coupled with the fact that Lin Lan and Leng Bingbing made Bal promise to Golden Deer that they would never bully Royal Wealth, made several sailing ship girls follow the Iris Knights to the Iris dormitory first.

However, Lin Lan also realized that Jean Bal did have a good relationship with the sailing ship girls.

Come to think of it, the name Jean Bart originally came from a "patriotic" pirate named Iris from Blue Star.

Isn't it reasonable that pirates can have common topics?
Especially on the way to the Tribunal, Royal Wealth proudly showed off to Jean Bart the thrilling experiences along the way and the spoils brought back from Natransi State and the city-state world.

Although he seemed not to care, both Lin Lan and the several ship girls around him could see that Jeanbal was very fascinated by the story told by the lively sailing girl.

Especially when Royal Fortune said that they, together with Drake and Royal Ark, caused chaos in the home port, the Royal Camp, Iris's "enemy", blew up the silly white meeting hall and looted the commander, Bal couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hehe, Jeanbal always has trouble chatting with Iris's companions.

"Even as his sister, I just found out that Jean Bart actually made these like-minded pirate friends in the port area."

Richelieu looked at Jean Bart, who was listening attentively to the story of the royal wealth, with a face full of satisfaction, and smiled and whispered to him in a low voice.

Clemenceau also raised his lips and whispered to him softly:

“Jean Barr, this honest and foolish sister, used to blame herself for the iris splitting.

"The more we told her not to take it personally, the harder it was for her to forgive herself.

"If it weren't for the commander's careful company and the guidance of her companions in the port area, I'm afraid she would not have gotten over that shadow until now."

Seeing the smile on Jean Bart's face, Lin Lan was also in a good mood.

Isn't the purpose of the port area to allow every ship girl to break free from the influence of the past and have a happy future?

He chatted with the girls on various topics along the way, and complained about and exposed the exaggerated bragging of the royal wealth. When it was completely light, he came to the Iris Court again.
