Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Of course, I won't forget!"

Upon hearing this, Yuudachi gave his assurance.

Avira's porridge and side dishes were delicious, even textbook examples of her cooking.

Therefore, it can be inferred that this was not Aivira's first time cooking, but rather that she was not very familiar with the dishes of Donghuang, which is why she looked at a cookbook.

After all, the dietary habits of the Eastern Empire and the Sakura Empire are very different.

After finishing their meal, Yuudachi said goodbye to Shigure and ran out the door, while Avira also paused briefly before heading out.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Black Dragon escorted Avira to the door. Looking at the familiar street, she was still a little worried.

If someone of similar skill level were to approach Avira, it would be quite dangerous.

"Don't worry, it's still very safe here. Go and get back to your work."

Ivy stretched out her hand and gently stroked the black dragon's cheek, revealing a gentle smile.

"okay."

Black Dragon took a step back and broke free from Avira's hands, because passersby were casting subtle glances at it.

It makes sense; Black Dragon is the first to keep an 'ordinary' woman in a port full of ship girls.

The black dragon suddenly escaping her attack range made Ivy puff out her cheeks, but she quickly regained her composure, withdrew her hand, and turned to move towards the dock.

move.

If we continue this way, we can be pretty sure we're heading to Akashi's armory.

Of course, it's also possible that he might seek out Prince Eugen, who was attending the Ironblood Morning Meeting.

After watching Avira leave, Black Dragon went inside and took care of the housework. Then, he stepped through space and arrived at the command room of the branch port.

The current time is 8:10. Black Dragon, who has arrived at the command room, immediately saw the Prince of Wales sitting behind the desk signing contracts. The supernatural being with a big, fluffy tail was whispering with the brown fox Amagi, who had even more tails, next to him.

Today, Amagi has returned to its usual decor, with a light purple kimono furisode over a red coat, giving her a very composed appearance.

The conversation between the two was conducted by the supernatural being speaking, while Amagi listened.

Good morning, everyone.

Black Flying Dragon greeted the three of them with a smile, like a boss who occasionally came to check on them.

"It's already so early. Instead of saying hello, why don't you take a look at the reports here?"

The Prince of Wales glanced up at the black dragon, then pulled out a document from the file next to him and placed it at the front.

"Let me see."

Black Flying Dragon didn't feel embarrassed at all. He stepped forward, picked up the report, and glanced at it.

This is a report submitted by the ship girls who went out on a mission. The first half was normal. It said that when they were resting on a certain island, a huge, illusory port suddenly appeared on the distant sea. It was made entirely of steel and its technological level was definitely beyond that of most countries.

The most outrageous thing was that they also saw a large number of ship girls living and chatting, as if their city were somewhere in the world.

However, the phantom disappeared in less than ten minutes, and they were unable to touch or log in.

"The steel metropolis where ship girls live?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned slightly; why did this description seem so familiar to her?

"Yes, take a look at the others."

The Prince of Wales stopped signing the bill and took a sip of the hot coffee next to him.

Black Flying Dragon looked through the other reports and found that these people had also seen the same phantom, but the time and place were different.

In other words, the phantom of this steel behemoth is being projected in multiple locations.

Did it cause a riot?

Black Flying Dragon closed the file and put it down, then looked at the supernatural power beside him.

"The technology and prosperity that this giant city presents on the surface are extremely attractive to some ship girls, and also to humans. There has been no obvious disturbance yet, but there must be someone secretly investigating."

Shentong quickly gave an answer, which was probably one he had already thought of.

"Hmm, Amagi, what kind of changes do you think this will bring?"

Black Flying Dragon propped himself up on the table with one hand and asked Amagi, who remained silent.

"That depends on whether this port area actually exists and whether it will be discovered by humans and other ship girls... If it is not discovered, at most the Sirens will only divert our attention in the short term. If it is confirmed to be real, it is very likely that many countries will re-examine the existence of our ship girls."

The last sentence sounded complicated, but Amagi's expression remained calm, as if he was certain that this port area would not be discovered.

"After being quiet for so long, the Sirens have finally started causing trouble again. Since they've started attracting our attention, they'll definitely take action next. We need to warn all ship girls going to sea to be careful and to contact us immediately if they notice anything unusual."

Black Dragon nodded. This city was probably the port base of the 'Wanderers' that she had seen in the depths of the Pacific Ocean before. However, it was thousands of nautical miles away from the human defense line, so it should not be discovered in the short term.

"clear."

The supernatural power granted the order.

Black Dragon reached out and tapped the table, and an invisible wave enveloped the room.

"Since there are no outsiders here, I'll be frank. This port area does exist. Last year, when I participated in an expedition, I got separated from my team and mistakenly entered this port area. However, it is inhabited by Siren wanderers, not our ship girls."

After isolating the command room, Black Flying Dragon revealed what he had seen.

"The Wanderer? I haven't heard that name in a long time. Your combat strength seems to have improved by leaps and bounds after the expedition. Did you get help from there?"

The Prince of Wales clasped his hands together as he looked at the black dragon.

She truly couldn't fathom the Black Dragon's background. It seemed to be created by the Sirens, yet it was hostile to them, and it was also connected to a human commander with exceptionally high technical skills and a mysterious past.

"You could say that the Black Azure Dragon that guards the Royal Palace now came from there. Although it is a Siren, it will not take the initiative to be our enemy."

Black Flying Dragon didn't hide anything and told the truth directly.

"Um…"

The Prince of Wales had mixed feelings; the information Black Dragon had obtained last year was only being shared with her this year.

However, she could understand. After all, Black Dragon's combat power had already exceeded that of ordinary ship girls, and she had not established a strong foothold in the Eastern Empire. If she had been accused of having an affair with the Sirens at that time, she would have been either wiped out on the spot or expelled from the country.

Thinking of this, the Prince of Wales turned to look at Amagi and found that the fox was not surprised at all, which meant that she must have known about this information earlier than she did.

"In that case, we won't pry into this matter any further. If you have any other information about the Sirens, just tell me all at once so I can make the necessary arrangements."

Will

Prince Shi reached out and tapped his forehead, then looked at Black Flying Dragon and said.

"The Sirens are divided into the war faction and the symbiotic faction. The war faction consists of the Sirens who have been fighting against me. I was born from the hands of the creator of the symbiotic faction, as were the Wanderer, the Black Dragon, and the Little Fox. This creator is named Mio, and there is a high probability that he is currently hiding in the territory of Donghuang... I don't know much about the war faction, I only know that their main base is located in Antarctica."

Black Flying Dragon took a breath, spread his hands, and said everything he could.

"Mio... huh, that Miss Avira?"

Upon hearing a somewhat familiar name, the Prince of Wales hesitated for a moment before saying "Avira".

“Avira is not a Siren; she is a human who helped me immensely when I faced crises in the past, a debt of gratitude akin to being reborn.”

Black Dragon directly refuted Welsh's conjecture, while simultaneously elevating Ivyra's status.

"Oh~"

The Prince of Wales breathed a sigh of relief; she was beginning to understand everything.

"Even the Sirens have disagreements between the pro-war and symbiotic factions. However, now that we know the pro-war faction's stronghold is in Antarctica, the situation in Australia is more important to us."

The Prince of Wales addressed the three people present.

Black Flying Dragon and Sky City were actually more aware of these things happening abroad, so she directly pointed out the problem.

As for the intelligence she obtains here, she will transmit it to the Free Port area as soon as possible, and then report it to the lord of Donghuang through beautification.

"Australia is not an option for now. We need to stabilize the situation in Sakura Empire first, strengthen our defenses, and then learn about Australia's situation from within."

Black Flying Dragon said without even thinking.

She still considered Sakura Empire a very important gateway. If Sakura Empire were lost, the Eastern Empire would have to face the Sirens in the Pacific Ocean directly. If war broke out again, the Eastern Empire would definitely suffer losses.

"Ok."

The Prince of Wales was somewhat disappointed, but since Black Dragon had already said so, there was no need for her to insist any further.

After all, it's the Black Dragon that has to go head-to-head with the Sirens; as the one behind the scenes, she can only provide information and assistance.

Amagi listened to their conversation without saying a word.

She was new to Donghuang and hadn't fully grasped the situation yet. She could discuss the direction of major decisions with Hei Feilong in private, but putting it out there like this meant she had no say. It would be pointless for her to speak, and she would also be sending out the information she knew.

Black Flying Dragon established itself in Donghuang by relying on its own strong combat power and cohesion. Since she did not have the same power as Black Flying Dragon, she could only start by devising strategies.

Although Black Dragon will most likely adopt her suggestion, any problems that arise will affect the future development of both her and Black Dragon.

So for now, she should just listen more and talk less.

Chapter 108 The Port Manager Who Slacked Off

The affairs of the port area come from many aspects. For example, the free port area managed by Black Dragon is backed by the mainland and is open to accepting maritime commissions, so there are all kinds of things to deal with every day.

If the port area were located on an island, things would be much easier, but the mobilization of resources and manpower would be relatively slow.

"Is that the water park that North Carolina applied for?"

Black Flying Dragon strode to the large window behind the Prince of Wales and immediately saw a huge clearing on the side of the port, several miles away. Her eyesight was excellent, and she could even see the Barbarians conducting geological surveys on the ground.

"Yes, an inspection team came to observe the site immediately after the application was submitted, and the construction team arrived today."

The Prince of Wales did not turn back and continued with the review and signing of contracts.

"Your work efficiency is quite high, but does it really cost money to hire Manju to build structures?"

Black Dragon reached out and wiped the glass, his gaze settling on Manjuu, who was talking to North Carolina and wearing a foreman's hat.

She felt that the Manju must be one of the unsolved mysteries of this world, because she had seen and learned about everyone from the Sirens, the creators, to ordinary people, but she had never received any specific information about the Manju, or rather, no one knew anything about them.

"Who knows? It seems that the Manju were born into this world at the same time as us. Every country has a large group of Manju as construction teams, so there should be a corresponding consumption mechanism."
