Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Tiancheng didn't pay much attention to their little tricks, after all, the two had been causing trouble for quite some time.

It might sound a little naughty, but she actually quite enjoyed the way the two of them bickered and teased each other, and it helped to keep Akagi's arrogance in check.

"Yes, but before I go, I'd like to ask, are you continuing to live here, or over there?"

Black Flying Dragon responded with a question.

"No problem, but it would be best if it were convenient to travel back and forth."

Tiancheng understood what Heifeilong meant, stood up, walked to the side, and opened the hidden door to the basement.

"I see."

Black Flying Dragon followed Tiancheng to the separate study in the basement. After looking around for a while, he walked to the wall behind the bookshelf on the right and reached out to press his hand on it.

boom!

Dark red flames burned fiercely on the wall.

"you…!"

Akagi's pupils contracted slightly. The bookshelf was less than half a meter away from the flames. He stepped forward to stop the Black Dragon, but was stopped by Amagi.

The flames appeared and disappeared in just five seconds, and a dark red sliding door that looked like it was made of wood or metal appeared in front of them.

Black Flying Dragon reached out and pushed open the door, which led to a room with bookshelves on the left and right and a desk in the middle. A blonde ship girl was signing reports on various matters in the port. Noticing something was wrong, she looked up and saw Black Flying Dragon.

"You're here so early to inspect?"

The Prince of Wales put down his pen, a smile playing on his lips.

"Of course, I'm just checking to see if you're working diligently."

Black Flying Dragon raised an eyebrow and smiled, then strode into the office, revealing the bookshelf that she had been hiding.

"That must have been really tough."

Wales glanced at it and roughly understood the reason.

Black Flying Dragon stepped forward and looked at the reports piled on the desk. Many of them were records of requests from ship girls, followed by permits for routine maintenance of equipment and price lists for goods entering and leaving the office.

A blue light flashed in his eyes. Black Dragon reached into a pile of reports and pulled out the North Carolina application for development permits and funding for the adjacent vacant land. He took out a pen, crossed out the reserved funds, doubled them, and finally signed his name.

"As expected of you, but where did all this money come from?"

The Prince of Wales' eyelids twitched as he read it. What kind of approval was this? Did the Prince think he had too much money?

"Report it directly to your superiors, no problem."

Black Flying Dragon put away his pen, looking very confident.

"Fine, you decide."

The Prince of Wales picked up the form signed by Black Dragon and put it aside. After all, she was just managing it temporarily, and the people above would only complain to Black Dragon.

During the brief conversation between the two, Amagi and Akagi crossed the threshold and came over.

"Is this your office? It doesn't look very good."

Akagi walked to the bookshelf, picked up a stack of reports, flipped through them a few times, and put them back, saying casually.

"It's just a temporary room, but it's still better than some people who seem to have a high status but actually have to mooch off other people's houses."

Black Flying Dragon said with a faint smile.

"!?"

Akagi paused, realizing that Black Flying Dragon's words were practically a direct attack, but she really couldn't refute them. She could only grit her teeth, turn her head, and pretend she hadn't heard.

Black Dragon felt a little smug. Before, she couldn't find a good angle to argue with Akagi in the Sakura Empire. Now that she was in the Eastern Empire's own port, it was practically fighting on home soil. It would be unreasonable if she didn't suppress Akagi.

Amagi ignored the two and walked aside to look at the records of commissioned missions from the establishment of this port area to the present. The records not only included the content of the missions and the participating ship girls, but also the relevant information of the commissioners.

Most of these people came from military-related backgrounds, followed by some high-ranking officials from maritime businesses and other sectors. Since they were commissioned by the port area, they must have a need for something from the ocean.

In other words, these people are all potential connections, and as long as you get along with them properly, obtaining some information is a very simple matter.

Wales saw Sky City's actions and quietly patted Black Dragon's arm.

"These reports will be sent to the Navy Commander for backup."

Black Dragon glanced at the Prince of Wales, then stepped forward to Sky City and whispered something.

"Ah."

Amagi responded with a sound, but did not react further.

This

In Donghuang, she had no need to associate with people of the 'official' class, but she did need some people from the 'business' and other sectors.

Since they're willing to entrust their mission to the port under the command of the ship girl Black Dragon, who resembles a member of the Sakura Empire, these people naturally won't discriminate against or dislike Sakura Empire ship girls, so there's still a possibility of cooperation.

Kaga leisurely made his way to the basement of the Sakura Empire mansion and saw the strange door. As he walked over, the door on this side was also pushed open, and Jintsu walked in. The two doors overlapped, and the two entered the room side by side.

"what?"

Jintsu was startled by Kaga's sudden appearance and quickly moved a few steps to the side.

"Excuse me, this door is a bit strange."

Kaga apologized to Jintsugu and pointed to the two overlapping doors. From the inside, one could see the study in the basement next door, but from the outside, one could only see the people in the office.

"Lord Kaga, you flatter me. Lord Black Dragon, could you please not open the portal in such a frightening location?"

Jintsu shook his head at Kaga, then looked at the innocent-looking Black Dragon.

"Haha, compared to this, are there any reports?"

Black Flying Dragon chuckled awkwardly. She just wanted to put on an act in front of Akagi. If she really wanted to open a permanent teleportation portal, she would definitely open it in the mansion that Akagi had chosen.

"Yes, please take a look."

Shentong stepped forward and handed the report in his arms to Black Flying Dragon.

Black Flying Dragon took it and glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

Amagi turned his head and glanced at it, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This is not a matter related to Hong Kong, but a notification.

The announcement was about an entry application submitted by the reckless pirate island faction from Australia to Donghuang, which mentioned Shinano's name.

"This is?"

Black Flying Dragon asked Amagi that Shinano had impersonated her to support Pirate Island. Strictly speaking, the support request sent to her by the island meant that someone had gone there, but this matter had nothing to do with her, and she had no clue what to do with it.

"Perhaps they've discovered some useful talents over there. Go and see if it's Shinano herself. If it is, help let these people stay in Donghuang for a while. Once things return to normal in Sakura Empire, I... I'll have Shinano take them over."

Amagi pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

She couldn't figure out what Shinano was thinking, and Shinano often did some incomprehensible things, but in the end, they all brought them effective benefits, so she didn't interfere much with Shinano's decisions.

"Okay, Shentong, you take Tiancheng around, I'll be right back."

Black Flying Dragon nodded, gave Shen Tong a word of advice, then removed the teleportation portal at the door and stepped downstairs.

Shentong glanced at Tiancheng, then at the departing Black Flying Dragon, and finally returned his gaze to Tiancheng.

"This concerns the safety of the border region of Donghuang."

Amagi handed the notice back to Jintsu and gave an explanation with a light laugh.

Shen Tong suddenly realized that if Tiancheng could mobilize the Black Flying Dragon at will, then things would be very strange.

"Let's go for a walk."

Amagi put the commissioned documents back on the bookshelf and walked out of the command room. Seeing this, Shintsu placed the notice on the Welsh table and chased after him.

Akagi and Kaga exchanged a glance and followed him out.

"..."

The Prince of Wales reached out and picked up the report, glancing at it. For the first time, he truly understood the feeling of being a lonely old man.

She knew about the pirate island forces' request for help, but she didn't expect that Black Dragon himself didn't go, but instead sent Shinano of Sakura Empire to go instead. This was beyond her expectations.

There was one thing that she found strange: if Pirate Island really needed help, it should have first sought assistance from the Navy Headquarters, and then held a meeting to vote on whether to provide support. If the higher-ups agreed, they would generally not refuse.

However, it's quite strange that Pirate Island didn't ask for help from the other side, but instead sent a letter to the Free Port District requesting assistance, specifically asking Black Dragon to come to the rescue.

However, now that the person has been rescued, there's no need to dwell on this matter anymore.

The Prince of Wales thought for a moment and put the report in the 'read' pile of documents.

Chapter 100 The Variable Future

The experience of time travel made Black Dragon realize that traversing spatial rifts was a far cry from the ideal method. Distorting and replacing space would increase the efficiency and safety of travel countless times.

As Black Flying Dragon stepped out of the command room, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The blue sky and white clouds were still there, but the water beneath her feet had been replaced.

Previously, teleportation could cause two life forms to overlap at a single point in space. Now, by directly connecting the two locations, anything at the opening will block anyone attempting to use the portal, greatly improving safety.

The distance traveled was also extended, allowing Black Flying Dragon to travel from the coastal land to Gouyu Island. In the distance, ship girls guarding the port area of ​​Gouyu Island were patrolling. Someone noticed the appearance of Black Flying Dragon, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared, as if they had seen an illusion.

The second time it traveled, the Black Flying Dragon appeared in the sea area under the jurisdiction of Donghuang, directly south of Okinawa Island, which was the location given in the entry letter from Shinano.

Stepping out of the teleportation point, Black Flying Dragon immediately spotted the ship girl squads patrolling the area. Within a mere ten nautical miles, fifteen ship girl squads could easily patrol, with the Sakura Empire's Hyuga squad consistently leading the way.

The flagship's squad was heading towards the Black Dragon and eventually stopped in front of her.

"Hello, are those people still there?"

Black Flying Dragon nodded to the group and turned to look south.

"Still waiting for an announcement from above."

Hinata glanced south and gave a calm reply.

Black Dragon has now become an iconic figure; almost everyone who spends their days on the sea has heard of her. Seeing Black Dragon suddenly appear and stand on the sea without even deploying her ship equipment, she knew what she was up to.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go and check if it's real or fake."

Black Flying Dragon nodded, and using her reconnaissance ability, she instantly spotted a fleet stationed more than twenty nautical miles away. The fleet consisted mainly of ship girls, protecting the central ship, while Shinano, with her strong energy response, stood at the very front of the formation.
