Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Whenever she had this doubt, she would look down at the crystal clear ring on her left ring finger.

This ring is the only proof that man ever existed.

More than once during this year, Bismarck woke up in tears at night.

She dreamed that the man who personally put the ring on her finger disappeared in the wind, and the ring was just a beautiful dream of hers.

Bismarck never told anyone about this conjecture, including Frederick the Great.

Because she is the pride of the Iron Blood, the leader of the Iron Blood, she will never let anyone see her cowardly side.

If even she doesn't have the confidence to find the commander, how desperate will so many iron-blooded ship girls be?

But...what if?

What if the commander really doesn't belong to the same world as them, and he just returned to his own world and will never come back?

After all, those embers also came from other worlds. Commander, could it be the same for you?

Bismarck never told anyone about this deepest fear in his heart.

Until this moment, seeing Lin Lan walking towards him with a guilty smile on his face, all of Bismarck's worries disappeared.

"Commander, it's been a long time since we last met. You... look a lot younger."

Although he had countless words to say in his heart, so much longing and concern, Bismarck found that he could only say this sentence.

Like Tirpitz, neither sister is able to clearly convey their personal feelings.

However, the shifted gaze in her blue eyes betrayed her guilty feeling for having those illusions about Lin Lan.

When the little girls on the Z-drive and U-boat saw that Bismarck had already greeted Lin Lan, they were very sensible and made way for the two.

Lin Lan looked at the Iron Blood Camp leader in front of him, who looked so heroic but didn't dare to look him in the eye.

For some reason, he recalled the most impressive plot in a previous event.

Iron, blood, notes and oaths.

That for the iron blood

The Iron-Blooded flagship Bismarck sailed freely on the ocean, willing to sacrifice his own life so that the Iron-Blooded could escape the fate of his destiny.

At this moment, she was standing right in front of him.

He suddenly remembered that when the game was first launched, the Iron Blood faction only had a few ships, and the threshold for obtaining them was extremely high.

Even when the first phase of scientific research was launched, many people could not meet the collection rate requirement for the illustrations of the development of the first scientific research ship, Roen. At one point, many newbies were stuck and screamed in pain.

With the launch of subsequent activities and the addition of new Iron Blood research ships, the number of ships in the Iron Blood camp in the port area is increasing.

A powerful iron-blooded fleet with a complete system that never had to bow down to other camps was built bit by bit by Lin Lan over a few years.

Looking at Bismarck in front of him who didn't dare to look him in the eye, like a shy Persian cat, Lin Lan's original concerns were dispelled, and he walked up to Bismarck with a smile.

"I don't know how I got younger, but you, my Bismarck, you seem to have become more haggard after not seeing you for so long."

Lin Lan admitted that he gradually became bolder after knowing that the ship girl in this port area was his own ship girl in his game.

Before today, he would have simply stayed away from a majestic soldier like Bismarck.

Instead of being like this, like returning home and reuniting with close family members whom you haven't seen for a long time, and then going up to them and teasing them as if it were a joke.

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Bismarck closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to hold back the tears that were about to accumulate at the corners of his eyes.

But the next second, Lin Lan hugged her in his arms.

Really, how could Lin Lan not know the personality of her own ship girl?

This iron-blooded workaholic must have been overwhelmed by the burden a long time ago.

After all, Bismarck was such a person, a natural leader and an iron-blooded spiritual pillar. Since her birth, she had to bear much more than other people.

Lin Lan knew very well that if he was not more straightforward, Bismarck would probably swallow all the bitterness quietly.

After all, Lin Lan himself had shouldered a very heavy burden, and he couldn’t hide the look in Bismarck’s eyes from him.

When Lin Lan was working overtime and staying up late to slack off, she would occasionally read the plot and character settings of Bismarck's activities, and she already knew how much blood and tears this girl had silently paid for the rise of Iron Blood.

No one wanted the Iron and Blood to be strong and prosperous more than Bismarck.

"Bismarck, look around you."

Holding Bismarck's stiff body, Lin Lan whispered softly beside his ear hidden by his golden hair.

"I once promised you that I would give you a majestic and iron-blooded navy that could roam the oceans. Now it has been fulfilled."

"So, you also promise me that you won't make yourself so tired again in the future, okay?"

He had actually wanted to say these words to Bismarck a long time ago.

Now that he can actually meet his own ship girls, he will naturally not let them work so hard anymore.

The little girls from the Z-drive team and the U-boat team all watched this scene silently, with smiles on their faces but no one made a noise.

Tirpitz and August also remained silent. They knew that the stage was reserved for the two people in front of them.

Bismarck's stiff body under the black military uniform slowly relaxed. Lin Lan just felt that his shoulders seemed to be wet, and was about to say something else when he heard Bismarck hum softly.

"Commander, don't think I'm a little girl who can be easily coaxed."

"After you come back, Ironblood has a lot of work for you to do. Please don't think you can get away with it just by saying this."

Lin Lan chuckled and let go of Bismarck. The originally cold and serious beautiful face in front of her seemed to have a layer of blush under the reflection of the night lights of the fortress.

"It seems like you're not going to let me go easily."

He rubbed the back of his head and said jokingly.

"..."

Bismarck looked at his face very seriously through his long bangs pressed down by the military cap, causing Lin Lan's smile to freeze on his face in awkwardness.

After a long time, Bismarck seemed to react and burst out laughing.

"I'm just mesmerized, Commander. This is the first time I feel I can see you so clearly."

Bismarck's words not only made Tirpitz and August agree with him as if they had suddenly realized something, but even the little loli on the Z-drive and the U-boat couldn't help but nod their heads.

Chapter 12: Inside the Fortress

Bismarck was absolutely right.

Before this, Lin Lan's presence in their memories became increasingly vague, even a little unreal.

Obviously, he should be the object of their vows and the most important person in their lives, but they all feel that Lin Lan's company was like a dream.

Lin Lan's heart trembled when she heard Bismarck's words.

He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. After all, before he traveled through time, he really thought it was just a game.

However, he also knew very well in his heart that the pure feelings he had always invested in them were real and there was nothing to feel guilty about.

Looking at the iron-blooded ship girls who were lost in thought, Lin Lan laughed and said:

"I say, it's so late, why don't you just stand there in a daze? I'm really looking forward to seeing what your fortress looks like, why don't you take me for a tour?"

Lin Lan's words brought Bismarck and the others back to their senses.

"That's true. Everyone must have worked hard coming back from the attack."

Bismarck nodded, realizing what had just happened, and then said to Tirpitz:

"Sister, you and August take these children to the bathhouse first. I will be responsible for taking the commander around the fortress. We will meet in the cafeteria later."

After dividing the work, Tirpitz and August led a group of little lolis who were still reluctant to leave and looked back every few steps and walked into the fortress first.

Bismarck and Lin Lan were the only ones left at the dock.

"Commander, then follow me. I will show you around our fortress."

Bismarck's expression was very unnatural. When she and the commander were alone, she was actually feeling a little uneasy.

We have been through so much before, known each other for many years, and have made vows to each other. What is there to be shy about?

Lin Lan looked at Bismarck with some confusion. In his impression, Bismarck should be a man of swift and decisive character, but at this time he was actually procrastinating.

"Would you like to hold my hand? I'm afraid you'll... again..."

Bismarck turned his head slightly, looked at the ground, and spoke intermittently, his voice getting lower and lower.

Bismarck, who was always serious towards others, actually had such a shy side. Lin Lan took a breath.

If you don't take the initiative at this time, are you still a man?

Reaching out and holding Bismarck's right hand, which had already taken off its glove, Lin Lan said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm not made of glass that will break at the slightest touch. Let's go, let's go, I can't wait to see what the inside of your fortress looks like."

The moment she grabbed Bismarck's hand, Lin Lan could feel her little hand tremble slightly. This shy Bismarck was so adorable.

The two of them walked along the road of the fortress port and into the fortress.

The refreshing sea breeze at night blew on the two of them, bringing a sense of comfort.

Feeling the warmth transmitted from the palm, as if it carried a reassuring power, Lin Lan also felt a different feeling in his heart.

It seems like I haven't been so relaxed for a long time.

Bismarck's golden hair fluttered gently in the sea breeze, and her black iron-blooded uniform could not hide her perfect figure.

With such a beautiful woman accompanying him walking on the beach, Lin Lan felt

Ben's tired soul was relieved at this moment.

"Bismarck, this should be the Mirror Sea."

Lin Lan took Bismarck's hand and broke the silence between the two.

Bismarck nodded and said, "Yes, this is the mirror sea area we created. No enemy can enter here at will."

"Where do you get the energy to maintain such a large mirror sea and such a large fortress?"

Lin Lan asked curiously.

"With the help of Siren's technology, the fortress and the mirror sea can directly extract inexhaustible energy from the ocean. Frederick and I have already thoroughly studied these technologies."

As the two walked slowly forward, Bismarck gradually adapted to Lin Lan's arrival.

When she talked about these professional aspects, her natural confidence returned to her tone.

"As expected of you, Iron Blood Technology is indeed the best in the world."

When in doubt, turn to Siren Technology.

Lin Lan smiled. He didn’t understand these either, so he could only express that he felt impressed.

"If you want to visit the core of the fortress, I'll take you there in a moment."

Bismarck said.

Shaking his head, Lin Lan said that he was just asking casually and there would be plenty of time to visit various areas of the fortress in the future.

"Are you still in contact with other factions in the port area?"

He didn't want Iron Blood to be isolated by other factions like in the previous game plots, so he asked with concern.

Bismarck chuckled and said, "Of course there is a connection. I believe that once the news of finding the commander is sent out, they will all be so excited that they can't wait to come to you."

The two of them walked to the main gate of the fortress, talking to each other.

As the red verification laser swept over Bismarck, the heavy black gate of the fortress with an Iron Cross printed on it slowly opened.

As you step into the fortress, you will see a crimson carpet on the ground. The luxurious chandeliers overhead emit a fluorescent yellow light, and on the surrounding walls are oil paintings that hang like works of art.

"At this point, most of the girls should be asleep, and some girls have gone out to do commissions and haven't returned yet."

"This is the main entrance hall. Usually we hold the ceremony before going out for battle here."

"There is a floating ladder in front that can reach each floor. The fortress has five floors in total, and each floor has a different function."

Bismarck took Lin Lan's hand and explained to him the internal structure of the floating island fortress one by one.

"Besides the main entrance, there are three side entrances on the first floor. My sister and her friends went to the bathhouse through one of the side entrances just now."
