Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Until a year ago, after the branch of the Adventurer's Guild in Xueying Town was closed, the mayor of Xueying Town had not issued any commissioned tasks...

Under the cover of night, a gray-yellow off-road jeep was speeding along the rugged dirt road of Inaba Island.

Sitting in the jeep were two young men and two young women, all of them were from Liaozhou and had a pair of rabbit ears on their heads.

And the clothing styles they wear are also typical Liaozhou adventurer attire.

The two burly men sitting in the back seat and the petite female adventurer sitting in the front passenger seat, who was holding a notebook and reading out the information about Xueying Town, all wore dark blue iron helmets to protect their vital parts.

The tall woman with bunny ears sitting in the driver's seat and driving the car was wearing a leather jacket and jeans similar to Orlan's style.

The fact that her clothes were completely different from those of her companions also showed that her role in the team was not melee combat.

"Tsk, that means...there are actually no adventurers guarding Snow Sakura Island anymore? Tianou Group really deserves to die."

After listening to the latest information about Xueying Town collected by the teammates of the petite girl, Yu Fengchen, the captain sitting in the back row, couldn't help but frown and curse.

"Boss, you are still sitting in the vehicle provided to us by the mission client of Tianou Group. Please be more polite."

The rabbit-eared teammate next to Yu Fengchen sighed helplessly and added:

"I heard that the vehicles of Tianou Group have the function of secretly recording. If the client hears it, aren't you afraid that our trip will be in vain?"

As if to confirm this, even the petite bunny-eared girl sitting in the front row who had just finished talking about the information about Xueying Town

He closed the notebook and said coldly:

"Brother Jiang is right, Captain. The Tianou Group does have this skill called 'eavesdropping device'."

"This is not a skill, it's equipment, and it is very likely that this vehicle is equipped with such equipment."

Although the bunny-eared girl who was driving corrected her companion's incorrect description of the "bug", she also reminded Yu Fengchen not to talk nonsense.

Yu Fengchen sighed at the kind reminder from his three teammates, turned his head and looked out the car window where he could vaguely smell the salty and humid air of the ocean, and the bright starry sky:

"So, this is why I am unwilling to accept the commission from Tianou Group..."

Yu Fengchen remembered that they had just returned to Awazu Castle on Inaba Island from Yanrong Island at midnight yesterday, planning to disperse back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.

But before they could receive the mission reward from the front desk of the Adventurer's Guild, he was personally invited to a private room by the president of the Inabajima Guild, who asked them to take on this urgent mission commissioned by the Tianou Group.

The Adventurer's Guild throughout Liaozhou completely copied the mercenary system of the Teaching Nation for the rating of the registered team's strength certification.

Therefore, whether it is the adventurer team of Liaozhou or the mercenary group of the Teaching Country, the ratings are from low to high according to the following standards:

White porcelain, obsidian, brass, mithril, steel, and rainbow crystal.

However, in Liaozhou, there has only been one highest-level Hongjing-level team in Liaozhou's history, and it is very likely that there will only be one.

That was the team of brave men led by the brave man himself, who had sealed the Demon King and defeated the Demon King's army.

Including him, their team consists of only four people, and their overall strength has just been rated at the Mithril level.

But last night, they were already the only Mithril-level adventurer team on the entire Inaba Island.

As rabbit-eared people, they are naturally given fewer combat skills than other races.

This also means that compared to adventurers from other races, it is difficult for them to achieve great success in combat.

Yesterday was New Year's Day, and several other Mithril-level adventurer teams that were originally stationed on Inaba Island had already left Inaba Island early and returned to their respective main islands to celebrate the New Year.

That was why he was enthusiastically invited by the president of the Inabajima Guild, and was forced to accept this commission, which he thought was very bizarre, under coercion and inducement.

"However, during my investigation yesterday, I heard some rumors about Xueying Town."

Just as the jeep fell into a brief silence, the petite bunny-eared girl sitting in the passenger seat suddenly spoke again, with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

Yu Fengchen withdrew his gaze from the window. It was the first time he heard this cold-blooded teammate who came from the slums speak in such a confused tone.

Not only Yu Fengchen, but Jiang Dian beside him also looked at the rabbit-eared girl named Yin Lu with curiosity and asked for him:

"Oh? Xiao Yin's intelligence has always been very accurate. It's rare that you are so uncertain. Tell us what rumors you have heard."

"...Xueying Town seems to be blessed by the gods."

Yin Lu's voice was not loud, but Jiang Dian burst out laughing after hearing it:

"Hahaha, what did I think it was? This is ridiculous. Xiao Yin, did you hear it from near the church?

Those believers made it up, didn't they? "

However, when Jiang Dian was halfway through laughing, he discovered that the captain Yu Fengchen, who usually laughed with him, was now pale and seemed to be dazed.

Yu Fengchen actually concealed the truth about the commissioned mission from his three teammates.

He and his teammates said that this commissioned mission was to investigate why Xueying Town had not been attacked by monsters in the past six months.

But the real words that the president had entrusted him with were to ask them to investigate whether there were any signs of encroachment by the Demon King's army around Xueying Town.

When he heard the commission, he could hardly believe his ears.

The Demon King's Army? Isn't that something that has been sealed away forever by the heroes and exists only in legends?

But facing the president's serious expression, Yu Fengchen realized that he was probably not joking with him.

In the eyes of the people of Liaozhou, the terror of the Demon King's army is so exaggerated that it can make a three-year-old child stop crying.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, in order to protect his hometown, Inaba Island, Yu Fengchen could not refuse even if he had doubts about the authenticity of the commission.

At this moment, the rumor provided by Yin Lu made him instinctively feel deeply uneasy in his heart.

Why is it that in a remote town like Yukinoshima, rumors of a town being blessed by gods are spreading?

"Boss, hello? Boss! You don't really believe those believers' nonsense, do you?"

However, Yu Fengchen's thoughts were quickly interrupted by Jiang Dian waving in front of him.

Only then did he realize that the pale look he had just displayed when he was distracted had attracted the attention of his teammates with whom he had fought side by side for several years.

Not only was Jiang Dian staring at him, Yin Lu in the front seat also turned her head to look at him. Even the deputy captain Inoue Yun, who was driving and had not spoken a word, was looking at him through the rearview mirror.

"Ha, hahaha, how could that be? This is probably some oracle made up by those priests in the churches who always talk about God. Don't take it seriously."

Yu Fengchen laughed, but at this time he had already aroused the suspicion of his teammates.

"you are lying."

A very confident voice came from the tall, bunny-eared girl driver who was driving.

Yu Fengchen sighed. He knew that he had no way of lying under the influence of the magical talents and skills of this vice-captain who came from the Inaba family.

Inaba Yun is the heir of the former island owner who inherited the innate bloodline skills of the island owner of Inaba Island and possesses the skill of peeking into the truth.

This is also the reason why Inaba Yun would drive the Tianou Group's vehicle.

The Inaba family has close ties with the Tianou Group and is considered the first family of island owners among the nine islands of Liaozhou to come into contact with the Oran culture.

When he met Inaba Yun, she was still a girl who ran away from home. After so many years, he believed that even if she did not use this skill, he would not be able to keep it a secret any longer.

"I can't hide it from you after all. So I'll tell you the truth. This time, the commission..."

Just when Yu Fengchen was about to tell his teammates the true content of this commission.

Suddenly, the strong forward tilt and the harsh sound of tire friction caused him and Jiang Dian beside him to fall forward violently.

Fortunately, before he got on the bus, Inoba Yun repeatedly reminded him to fasten his seat belt, so he didn't

His head hit the front seat and was bleeding.

"What's wrong?! Yun, why did you stop suddenly..."

Yu Fengchen frowned and covered his chest, then raised his head in surprise.

But he saw Inaba Yun and Yin Lu, who were sitting in the front row, both looked out the window to the right with shock on their faces.

And when he looked out the right window, his pupils shrank suddenly as he was shocked by the extremely strange and terrifying scene in front of him.

They were now less than half an hour away from Xueying Town.

Just now, they had followed the road to the hills overlooking the sea, where they could look down at the ocean.

But at this moment, a thick black fog appeared in the distance on the endless flat sea that was supposed to be illuminated by the moonlight and stars.

"what is that?"

Jiang Dian muttered blankly, but no one responded to his words.

As an adventurer who had entered the outskirts of the ancient island core ruins several times, Yu Fengchen believed that he and his team members were accustomed to various dangerous scenes.

But all this was far less shocking than the oppressive feeling from the depths of their souls emanating from the thick black fog that seemed to be rolling and wriggling on the sea in front of them.

Just by looking at it from afar, they felt that the air around them had frozen. Even Jiang Dian, who was usually cheerful and talkative, had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"The Demon King's Army..."

Yu Fengchen almost gritted his teeth and trembled as he spoke the word.

The three teammates in the car all looked at him in shock, as if they didn't understand why he knew the origin of the horrifying black fog.

"No time to explain! Yun, turn around and return to Awazu Castle immediately! Our commission has been completed!"

At this time, Yu Fengchen's clothes under the leather armor on his back were soaked with cold sweat without him noticing, and he almost roared as he gave the order.

After his roar, the three people in the car seemed to come back to their senses and gasped for breath.

Their bodies were already soaked with sweat.

Almost without hesitation, after adjusting her breathing rhythm, Inaba Yun immediately controlled the steering wheel and tried to turn around.

At this point, no matter what commission the captain accepted, it didn't matter. As the former heir of the Inaba family, she naturally knew a lot of history recorded in the family since she was a child.

She was very aware of the invasion of the Demon King's army, and the most important thing at the moment was to report this news to her sister, Inaba Rong, the lord of Inaba Island.

But at this moment, Yu Fengchen's voice, almost gritting his teeth, came again:

"Wait! Don't turn around, keep going to Xueying Town!"

"?"

Such contradictory orders made Inoba Yun extremely shocked and she turned her head to look at Yu Fengchen.

Not only Inoye Yun, Jiang Dian and Yin Lu also didn't understand why Yu Fengchen suddenly chose to continue to go to Xueying Town.

Their captain had just said that their commissioned mission had been completed.

No matter what the Demon King's army is, it is obvious that this creepy black fog that looks terrifying even from a distance is not an enemy that the four of them can face.

The wisest thing to do now is to return to the guild to ask for help and bring the information to Awazu Castle.

But soon, Yu Fengchen gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and gave them the answer:

"Look, the black fog is moving..."

Facing the puzzled looks of his three teammates, Yu Fengchen, despite sweat dripping down his face, still raised his hand and pointed at the sea outside the car window:

"The direction this black fog is moving is Xueying Town."

"If we leave, all the residents in the town who don't know the Demon King's army is coming will be doomed!"

"I can't just watch the residents of that town being slaughtered by the Demon King's army!"

Chapter 698 The Demon King’s Army is coming to your door?

"Master... Master, the children outside the sanctuary barrier sent a message that the Demon King's army was discovered on the surrounding sea."

Lin Lan was awakened by Tiancheng's voice while she was in a daze.

He was exhausted last night and still felt a little sore.

There was no other way, as he met Azuma and Kitakaze in the bathhouse, and after returning to Nagato's residence, he slept in the same bed with Amagi for the rest of the night.

But when he heard clearly what Tiancheng said, he almost jumped up from the bed immediately.

"What? The Demon King's Army?!"

He looked in shock at the giant fox girl sitting next to him, her perfect body covered only by a light pink tulle. His previous sleepiness had completely disappeared.

"It was the carrier-based aircraft of Feilong and Canglong that first discovered the black fog. They were very sure that the black fog was emitting the breath of X-energy."

Tiancheng explained to him in a very confident tone and told him the current situation:

"Senior Mikasa has already gone to the entrance of the sanctuary barrier with the children who are responsible for tonight's guard. Lady Miko and Mutsu are in the living room, waiting for your next instructions."

Lin Lan took a deep breath, and after listening to what Tiancheng said, he grabbed the clothes beside him and changed them quickly.

During this period, he was also thinking quickly about what attracted the Demon King's army to come.
