Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

However, to Dao Yerong's surprise, after hearing her words, Jiang Jianmu calmed down.

This old man, who had served as the general agent of Tianou Group in the United States of Oran for many years and had experienced countless storms, instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Jiang Jianmu had already felt that there was something fishy about Director Lu Feng's order to the four island general agents to arrest the children of Liaozhou.

At this moment, he was stimulated by Daoye Rong's angry words and calmed down, and began to think about the problem.

For a moment, the two highest authorities in Inabajima, who had just been at loggerheads with each other, fell into silence again.

Finally, it was Inaba Rong who broke the silent atmosphere first.

"General Agent, to use the words of the Tianou Group, which puts profit above all else, I won't get any benefit from secretly joining the Nine Islands Alliance."

"Inabajima and our Inaba family have been fully cooperating with you for more than ten years. You probably know better than me what betraying the Tianou Group means to us."

"The Great Master Hui'an cannot lead me and the islanders to a better life, and the benefits that the Tianou Group can bring to the Inaba family are definitely not something that the Nine Islands Alliance can give."

"Even if there is a soul contract in my body that could take my life at any time, there won't be any problem as long as I guarantee my absolute loyalty."

Daoye Rong straightened her messy white hair, narrowed her eyes and made a summary:

"So, I have no reason to seek refuge with Hui'an Dasi and Jiudao.

alliance. "

After listening to the calm analysis of the rabbit-eared young woman, the island owner, although Jiang Jianmu's old face remained unchanged, his originally frowned brows had relaxed a lot.

Jiang Jianmu knew very well that this rabbit-eared Liaozhou island master had learned a lot of social experience from him over the years.

The previous owner of Inaba Island suddenly passed away due to a serious illness more than ten years ago, and the young Inaba Rong took over the position of island owner at that time.

It can be said that as the island owner, Inoba Rong spends 90% of her time dealing with their Tianou Group.

He had even heard from the spectator that the death of Inaba Rong's father was most likely caused by the murderous hand of the Nine Islands' co-lord, Hui'an Daishi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jianmu's voice became much softer than before:

"It seems that the Nine Islands Alliance sent a small group of elite troops to secretly land on Inaba Island and go to Xueying Town to carry out some purpose."

"After achieving their goal, they destroyed the mecha troop when they left, in order to sow discord between you and me."

Jiang Jianmu made his judgment very rationally, which reminded Dao Yerong of something that had concerned her before. She analyzed and said:

"The situation in Xueying Town is indeed a bit strange. According to the annual report provided by the Adventurer's Association, Xueying Town has been attacked by monsters only a few times in the past six months."

"The residents there have not hired a team of adventurers, and given the remote location, you have not arranged for mecha troops to be permanently stationed."

When Inaba Rong was thinking, the white rabbit ears on her head swayed slightly, indicating that her mind was also working fast at this moment.

After hearing her words, Jiang Jianmu took out another black tablet from his arms, opened the screen and began to read silently.

In less than half a minute, Jiang Jianmu turned off the screen and put the tablet back into his pocket.

However, this time, Jiang Jianmu let out a long sigh, and his previous strong aura also dissipated.

It was not until then that Inaba Rong suddenly realized that the general agent standing in front of her was already an old man.

Unlike the Liao Europeans, these humans from the United States of Oran did not have any animal characteristics and were generally much younger than them.

Even for a Rabbit-eared person like her, who is considered short-lived in Liaozhou, if she maintains a healthy lifestyle, she can live to over a hundred years old without any accidents.

As far as she knew, the average age of humans was only around 70 or 80 years old.

In the more than ten years that she has been the island owner, Daoye Rong has never, in her memory, seen even a trace of such old age and loneliness in Jiang Jianmu.

She also suddenly remembered that she had never heard that Jiang Jianmu had any family or children.

This general agent of Tianou Group, who holds a high position and still acts decisively despite his old age, has always been like a working machine, alone.

Before Dao Yerong could think about it, Jiang Jianmu spoke slowly in a calm tone:

"There is something wrong with the sales of monster materials of the business in Xueying Town in the past six months."

"Director Lu told me a few days ago that the threat from the ancient Liaozhou has begun to arrive, and we must pay great attention to any abnormal situation we find."

Hearing Jiang Jianmu's words, Dao Yerong trembled all over.

Come

A threat from ancient times?

Could it be that it was described in the ancient books of the Inaba family...

The Demon King's Army?!

"Tomorrow, no, tonight, you need to immediately assemble an elite force and be ready to attack at any time."

"I will contact the Adventurer's Association, recruit the strongest team of adventurers, and set off to Xueying Town to investigate the anomaly overnight."

Jiang Jianmu ignored Dao Yerong and spoke about his next arrangements as if he was minding his own business.

But Dao Yerong keenly caught a word from what Jiang Jianmu said:

Mr. Lu.

"General Agent, please forgive me for being frank, but I want to know... is it true that your Director Lu has some secret deal with the Great Master Hui'an?"

Daoye Rong hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question she was most worried about:

"The power and technology of the ancient Liaozhou mastered by that old poisonous snake are no less than those of the spectator. If this is true, it is undoubtedly courting disaster."

After hearing Dao Yerong's words, Jiang Jianmu did not respond at all, and his expression did not change at all.

The white-haired old man just stood there silently, leaning on his cane, walking step by step towards the outside of the old house.

When he reached the door of the room, Jiang Jianmu stopped, without looking back, and said in a calm tone as if talking to himself:

"My daughter, now, should be as old as you, considering her age."

"Is she married? Does she have children?"

"After so many years, she... is she still waiting for me to promise to bring her the Liaozhou toys?"

Hearing these words spoken in a calm tone from Jiang Jianmu's mouth, Dao Yerong felt a strong sense of sadness coming from the back of the hunchbacked old man in front of her.

"Did you know that Mr. Lu had just married his beloved before coming to Liaozhou?"

"I attended their wedding, and I know that Mr. Lu is the one who most wants to return to Oran among all the people in Tianou Group."

"If there is really a choice, even though it would violate the orders of the Lord of the Stalkers, I can lead everyone to defeat the Siren and return to Oran..."

Jiang Jianmu didn't finish his words.

Having said that, the general agent Inabajima took another step without looking back, leaning on his crutches, and disappeared from Inaba Rong's sight.

Chapter 674: The Most Popular Course in the Hong Kong Academy

After taking a comfortable bath, Lin Lan returned to Nagato's residence accompanied by Atago and Kaohsiung. It was already late at night.

While in the bathhouse, he also learned from Atago who helped Akashi make the wooden membership signs of the bathhouse.

It was Atago, the izakaya proprietress who sewed clothes for him overnight, and the original Sakura aircraft carrier ship girl, Hou Xiang.

Before the New Year's Day ceremony this morning, he had already thanked the gentle purple-haired sister. He didn't expect that Feng Xiang was actually the proprietress of Xueyingjima Izakaya.

Although Fengxiang didn't say it, he would have to go to the izakaya more often to take care of Fengxiang's business.

At the same time, Lin Lan also learned that there were indeed courses on how to seduce him in the classroom of the Sakura Empire camp.

As expected, the lecturer was Atago.

This course, which has nothing to do with combat, was once offered at the Tactical Academy in the port area, and the class was once overcrowded with ship girls who took the initiative to attend.

Through this course, almost every ship girl who later joined the port was more or less affected to some extent.

Akashi is Atago's close collaborator.

After learning about this interesting thing, Lin Lan compared the portraits of the ship girls added in the later stage of the game with the costume changes released later, and found that it really seemed to be the case.

After all, who doesn’t like a ship girl who wears little and comes to stick to you?

If you don't like it, you should treat it the same as Nan Tong.

After waving goodbye to the four reluctant heavy cruiser girls, Lin Lan entered the mansion.

When passing by Tiancheng and Nagato's room, Lin Lan found that the lights in the house were off.

In order to avoid disturbing their rest, Lin Lan returned to his room as quietly as possible.

Jiang Feng, who was originally lying on his bed, had left.

However, before leaving, the guard girl packed his bedding for him and folded his clothes and put them in the closet.

On the desk in his room, there was a bowl of fish porridge covered with a wooden lid and still warm.

"This Jiang Feng..."

Lin Lan smiled, closed the paper door, and sat at the table.

As he opened the wooden lid at night and sniffed the fragrant aroma of porridge, he felt grateful for Jiang Feng's thoughtfulness.

Speaking of which, he remembered that Jiang Feng once mentioned in the game that he had a special hobby, which was fishing.

This was a coincidence. When he was on Blue Star, he also loved fishing and could be considered an amateur fisherman.

After all, most of the construction sites where he works are located in the wilderness, and it may be difficult to get to the city.

Apart from playing games in the project dormitory, his only entertainment was to call a few fishing friends to drive together to find puddles and ponds near the construction site for wild fishing.

Of course, they have little time to relax in their busy schedule, so they are not so particular about fishing gear, the main purpose is just for entertainment and leisure.

However, every time a project was completed, he would be separated from several new fishing friends and colleagues, so he became too lazy to go fishing anymore.

Thinking of this, Lin Lan, who was tasting the delicious fish porridge, smiled and said to herself:

"It's decided. From now on, we have to invite Jiang Feng and other Sakura Empire shipgirls who love fishing to go fishing together."

He remembered this incident.

After thinking about it, he picked up his phone and continued to check the information about Liaozhou Tianou Group that Jian Qianou had sent him before.

Before, he just took a rough look at the whole thing. Now, since he knew that Snow Sakura Island was very close to Inaba Island, he naturally focused on the things related to Inaba Island.

After all, Yuki has gone to Inaba Island alone and has not returned yet.

If the Tianou Group on Inaba Island really captured Liaozhou children, it would be troublesome to take Yuki to Zhuren Island as well.

"Jiang Jianmu...this man is actually this old?"

When Lin Lan was reading the introduction about Inabajima on her phone, she noticed that Inabajima's general agent ten years ago was already over sixty years old.

Now, ten years have passed and he is over 70 years old.

Lin Lan expressed great doubt as to whether Jiang Jianmu was still serving as Inabajima's general agent.

As he continued to read the detailed information about Inaba Island, he also noticed that Jian Qianou had also prepared all the information about the owners of these main islands.

The families that own the nine islands in Liaozhou basically use the names of the islands as their surnames.

The owner of Inaba Island, Inaba Rong, is a Liaozhou person from the Rabbit Ear Tribe. Ten years ago, she had only been the island owner for less than three years.

Jian Qianou explained Dao Yerong's life experience in detail.

Inaba Rong's father, the previous lord of Inabajima, was strongly opposed to the dictatorial rule of the nine islands' co-lord, Hui'an Daishi.

Jian Qianou once met Hui'an Dasi, who told her personally that Daoye Rong's father was murdered by him.

Even when Hui'an Dasi was asked by Jian Qian'ou to cede an island to build a base, he immediately suggested that Jian Qian'ou could support Inaba Rong as a puppet and donate Inaba Island to Tianou Group.

In other words, Inabajima had long been abandoned by the Nine Islands Alliance.

After all, although Inaba Island is the main island that is most suitable for growing crops and produces the most abundant grain among the nine islands of Liaozhou, it has no other special features.

All the major islands of Liaozhou are fully capable of being self-sufficient in food.

In addition to this, there is another point, that is, the ancient island core ruins inside Inaba Island have long been completely occupied and blocked by the Tianou Group.

The ancient ruins of the island core are unique dangerous areas on each of the nine main islands of Liaozhou.

Lin Lan had learned from the information before that these ancient island core ruins were extremely wide, covering almost the central area of ​​every main island.

The ancient ruins of the island core are not only filled with various dangerous traps, but also with many elemental monsters that are completely different from demons and attack anyone indiscriminately.

Today, Liaozhou's cities and towns are basically located on the outskirts of the coastal islands, precisely because of these ancient relics.

So far, neither the Nine Islands Alliance nor the Tianou Group has completely cracked the secrets of these ancient island core ruins.
