Azur Lane, will there be constant gunfire after peace?

But his keen intuition told Du Lin that if he could make good use of this power, it would be of great benefit to York City and Tiancheng.

Tiancheng, who was gradually calming down, noticed something strange about Dulin. At this moment, the thoughtful Dulin had an expression on his face that she had never seen before.

"Lord?"

Du Lin came back to his senses, took a deep breath and said:

"Tiancheng, take care of yourself. I will... definitely find a way to relieve your symptoms. Tiancheng, you don't need to endure this pain at all."

Volume 216: Chapter The Secret of Du Lin's Body

Durin and Nagato ended their visit, and Amagi was once again the only one left in the room.

She held the cup in both hands, and the tea in the cup was gradually cooling down.

"My lord..."

Tiancheng's mind was occupied by Du Lin's expression before he left. That was the Du Lin she had never seen before.

"Haha, during the time I entered the sacred tree, the master... has changed a lot."

Tiancheng initially wanted to use the word "growth" to describe it, but finally chose the more neutral word "change".

His fingers gently slid along the edge of the cup, and Amajo turned his head to look at the cherry trees outside the corridor.

"...My Lord, I am very curious about what happened to you..."

Tiancheng, who has physical disabilities, prefers to think. To her, Du Lin's subtle changes are very interesting research puzzles.

"Haha~ I won't be bored for a while from now on."

............

After bidding farewell to Amagi, Du Lin and Nagato entered the depths of the shrine and finally came to the foot of the sacred tree.

"This is... the sacred tree that covers the entire Sakura Empire..."

Du Lin looked up, and even if he stretched his neck to the limit, he could barely get a rough idea of this tall and lush sacred tree.

It was so huge, like an umbrella covering most of the territory of the Sakura Empire.

More importantly, this sacred tree is not a complete entity, but somewhere between illusion and reality. The rain of flowers scattered by its swaying branches and leaves will dissipate on its own before landing, making it seem so dreamlike.

This is the forbidden area of the Sakura Empire, and only Nagato can come here on weekdays.

But this time Durin asked Nagato to bring him here.

"Commander, what are your plans?"

Nagato looked at Durin curiously, trying to understand why he did this.

Du Lin suppressed his shock and began to explain his intentions to Nagato.

"...I see. Do you want me to use the power of the sacred tree to examine your body?"

After hearing Durin's words, Nagato was very surprised.

"That's right." Du Lin nodded:

"Chekalov and his team are also preparing more sophisticated equipment, but I also want to borrow your power, Nagato."

During the previous physical examination, Chkalov, Yubari and other technical personnel in the port area discovered something wrong with Du Lin's body, but due to equipment problems they were unable to obtain further detailed information, so they did not come up with a reliable answer.

Of course, the preparation of these equipments is in full swing, and Du Lin originally wanted to wait patiently for the day when the preparations would be completed.

But after seeing the situation in Yorktown and Tiancheng, he wanted to speed up the progress by using more manpower.

He placed high hopes on the sacred tree of the Sakura Empire.

"I understand!"

Nagato nodded heavily, her spirits gradually rising.

If what the commander said is true, then the situation in Amagi can be saved.

"Then Commander, please hold my hand, and then close your eyes. That's right, without my permission, you must not open your eyes, and try to stay relaxed."

"I understand."

Durin handed his hand to Nagato, and the two clasped their fingers together and finally interlocked them, holding each other tightly.

Finally, Du Lin closed his eyes, and he faintly heard Nagato beside him chanting something in a low voice.

It was a tone of voice he had never heard before, and it contained a meaning that was completely incomprehensible.

But soon, a buzzing sound came from Du Lin's mind. At this moment, Du Lin's eyelids twitched wildly, but he finally resisted the urge to open his eyes.

Du Lin's heartbeat quickened. Although he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, he felt like he had come to a strange space.

This was an unfounded guess, but Du Lin firmly believed it.

"Commander..."

Nagato's voice was heard again. Compared with the past, this voice was particularly ethereal, revealing an indescribable majesty and sacredness.

Moreover, no one knew where the voice came from. Du Lin sometimes felt it was vague and far away, and sometimes felt it was right in front of him.

It was a very strange experience, even though he was still holding hands with Nagato.

Gradually, Du Lin discovered that Nagato's voice did not come from the outside world, but seemed to come directly from his mind.

This...what kind of power is this!

Du Lin was surprised, but he still kept his eyes closed and did not open them.

Nagato's voice still echoed in Du Lin's mind, but Du Lin's consciousness gradually became blurred.

It's so strange. I can clearly hear Nagato's voice, but I can't understand what he means.

Finally, Du Lin's consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

"Huh... The commander's consciousness has finally fallen asleep temporarily."

Nagato breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Nagato's body was still intertwined with Durin's fingers, but their souls had already been connected.

And it was Nagato who was in charge.

"Is this... what is deep inside the Commander?"

Nagato looked around, and many fragments of Durin's memories flashed before his eyes.

These images appeared and disappeared so suddenly, like meteors streaking across the sky, and Nagato only had time to see a few of them.

But just these few scenes were enough to make Nagato notice the extraordinary content.

"This...this is..."

The surrounding space shook violently, as if cracks appeared on a smooth mirror.

This was the effect of the violent fluctuations in Nagato's heart as the leader.

Nagato quickly calmed himself down and tried his best to keep his emotions stable.

"Wow wow wow... The commander actually had sex with so many women... Wow, when I was protecting the sacred tree, he... he actually did these things..."

If it were in reality, Nagato's cheeks would definitely be burning with heat, but here she didn't feel it.

"Miss Frederick... Miss Yixian... and Miss Belfast, ah, even Miss Hutten... Woohoo, Akagi and Kaga are also cheating on me..."

Those few flashing images had a huge impact on Nagato.

"No!" Nagato resisted the urge to peek further:

"The commander has given himself to me completely. This is a sign of trust in me. I cannot... continue to spy on him!"

This responsibility and awareness made Nagato shift his attention to Durin himself.

In the soul state, Nagato's perception has increased countless times, and he can clearly see things that he cannot see in normal times.

"Inside the commander's body... the original Rubik's Cube is indeed here..."

Nagato's mood gradually became solemn, and she saw the dazzling blue square clearly.

It is neither an illusion nor a complete entity. It is located within Durin's body and has almost become one with him.

As the soul approached the Rubik's Cube, Nagato felt the tremendous vitality from it.

The life force surging out from the original Rubik's Cube was like a vast galaxy, which was impossible to fathom.

"This...this is..."

For the first time, Nagato showed a look of surprise.

Volume 217: Chapter Loyal Guard

The Mind Cube can give birth to life, and the ship girls in the port area were born from it through Durin's resonance.

This mysterious object, which was supposed to be hidden in the deepest part of the port laboratory, has now merged with Du Lin.

"Such a strong vitality..."

The original Rubik's Cube merged with Durin's body... No, it should be said that Durin's body was utilizing the power of the original Rubik's Cube.

Nagato observed carefully. The vigorous breath of life gushing out of the magic cube sublimated her soul. The deep fatigue accumulated from maintaining the sacred tree was washed away by the powerful vitality of the magic cube.

“Ugh…ah…”

Nagato felt indescribably comfortable, and after the shock she felt happy.

"Commander is right. If it is this kind of power... maybe it can be..."

Nagato wanted to get closer, but the endless torrent of energy blocked her. Being in it, even with the blessing of the sacred tree, Nagato still felt like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any time.

"Woo!"

Nagato gritted his teeth and tried to charge several times, but to no avail.

There was no way out, so she could only give up the idea of getting closer to observe.

But this is enough. After all, Nagato’s original purpose was to confirm Durin’s true physical condition.

With a hint of regret, Nagato began to disconnect his soul from Durin.

In reality, the sleeping Du Lin's eyelids twitched slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

He had a dream in which he was overlooking the ocean and islands from the air.

"I just was..."

Du Lin's eyes were a little confused, but he soon found that he seemed to be lying on the girl's thighs.

"Commander, are you awake?"

The lovely face filled Durin's field of vision, Nagato's eyes full of concern.

"Nagato...ah, I just..."
