Chapter 631: Unusual Destroyer

Although Musashi's words were full of doubt, they shocked Lin Lan.

You know, as a brave warrior, he would have appeared in the Liaozhou Nine Islands if he was summoned to travel through time.

But how did Amagi know that he would appear in Liaozhou? For this strange and different world, his ship girls should not have known that there was a place called Liaozhou.

It seems that when he sees Amagi later, he will have to ask the top strategist of the Sakura Empire for advice.

At this time, he and Musashi were very close to the mountain shrine, and he also noticed that under the sacred tree in the courtyard of the shrine, there was a dim white luster.

There were many white "Z"-shaped paper strips hanging like willow branches on the branches of the sacred tree, swaying slightly in the cool mountain breeze.

I think this should be the legendary imperial coin.

Lin Lan has seen this kind of Sakura Empire props used for prayer and exorcism in many anime works on Blue Star, but this is the first time he has seen the real thing.

But just as he and Musashi had stepped into the flat area on the mountainside and were about to reach the main gate of the shrine, he suddenly felt a sharp murderous intent locking onto him.

But the murderous intent disappeared in an instant. The next second, a low-pitched, but somewhat trembling voice of a girl sounded in his ears:

"Commander... Commander?"

Following this voice, in front of the main gate of the shrine in front of him and Musashi, which was originally empty under the moonlight, a girl with silver-gray long hair and a black scabbard on her waist suddenly walked out of thin air.

Slender and tall figure, black and white fur ears on both sides of the head, and a pair of lake blue eyes full of disbelief on the cold and delicate face.

Lin Lan recognized the identity of this girl swordsman who was obviously a destroyer ship girl, but her appearance was more mature than most destroyer lolita:

Nagato's personal bodyguard, the third ship of the Kaishirolu class - Jiang Feng.

Come to think of it, since Nagato and the others are now in the shrine, it is normal for Jiang Feng, as Nagato's guard, to guard the door.

"Jiang Feng, it's me, long time no see."

After Lin Lan recognized Jiang Feng, he smiled and greeted the cool silver-haired girl, and strode forward.

After hearing his words, Jiang Feng finally came back to his senses from the shock.

But the always cold silver-gray long-haired girl actually turned her head and covered her face with her white furisode.

The low voice with a hint of crying drifted into Lin Lan's ears in the quiet night:

"It's really the commander... Such a familiar voice, such a familiar voice is not wrong..."

"During the days when you were away, I, I..."

Lin Lan, who walked in front of Jiang Feng, heard these words, and his heart ached, and he gently hugged the destroyer girl into his arms.

"I'm sorry, I made you worry these days, I won't leave without saying goodbye again in the future, don't cry, don't cry."

He stroked the head of the animal-eared girl who was trembling slightly, and said softly to comfort her.

It was also the first time that Musashi saw Jiang Feng show such emotions. She stood aside, quietly watching the scene of the two hugging each other, and was deeply moved.

Jiang Feng, a Bailu-class destroyer, possessed superb combat skills. In terms of swordsmanship alone, as a destroyer, he could rank among the top in the entire Sakura Empire.

But Jiang Feng was very indifferent to most of his companions. As a loyal guard of Nagato, he never played with the children of other destroyers.

Jiang Feng, who was held in Lin Lan's arms, adjusted her emotions in just a few seconds.

Although there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her tone had returned to her usual calmness.

"Commander, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Jiang Feng said this, but she still looked up at Lin Lan, with a happy smile on her lips, and was reluctant to look away.

Lin Lan let go of the girl in her arms and reached out to wipe the wet tears from Jiang Feng's slightly flushed face.

Compared with Musashi, he knows Jiang Feng better.

When he was in Blue Star, he was very curious why Jiang Feng, who was just a destroyer, had such a more mature appearance.

The answer is the cruel war.

The war forced Jiang Feng, who originally had innocent ideals, to experience separation and death again and again until he became numb.

In order to stop being weak, Jiang Feng closed his heart, lost his ideals, actively rejected all other people's feelings, and completely turned into a war machine.

It is for this reason that after becoming a ship girl, this destroyer ship girl is more mature in mind and appearance than other destroyer sisters, and is more lonely and cold.

Perhaps if it were someone else, they would think that Jiang Feng had completely abandoned his ideals and accepted the cruel reality.

But Lin Lan read from Jiang Feng's two lines that this cold destroyer girl has always been immersed in the pain of the past:

"Bombs are weapons, fighting is to destroy the opponent, no matter what beautiful words are said, it cannot cover this up."

"Struggle... never changes."

Although Jiang Feng's two lines are borrowed, it also indirectly shows that Jiang Feng knows that struggle is endless, and that is why she has always longed for the so-called "ideal" of human beings in her heart.

After reading this, Lin Lan vowed to save this destroyer child who lost her ideal from the pain of the past.

So he set Jiang Feng as a secretary ship for a while, spent a long time accompanying the girl, and finally gave her the oath ring and the white wedding dress representing the oath.

When he saw the happy smile on Jiang Feng's face when he made the oath with him, and Jiang Feng would take the initiative to participate in the activities of other companions after the oath, he finally put his mind at ease.

At this moment, the smiling face of the silver-gray haired animal-eared girl in front of him slowly folded with the smile on the screen in his memory, which made Lin Lan feel a little trance.

But he understood that it was not the time for him to reminisce with Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, Nagato and Amagi are all in the Yushenmu barrier, can you take us to see Amagi first?"

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Jiang Feng nodded solemnly and said to him:

"Lord Nagato, the great senior and the great sage are suppressing the deterioration of Lord Amagi's body in the barrier. Fortunately, Lord Musashi brought you back in time. I will take you into the barrier now."

After that, Jiang Feng nodded to Musashi and turned to lead the way.

Lin Lan and Musashi followed Jiang Feng's steps and came to the front gate of the white-gray wall surrounding the courtyard of the shrine.

The sound of insects chirping on the surrounding mountains and the sound of falling water from the waterfall disappeared unconsciously, and the light in the shrine courtyard gradually became brighter.

Lin Lan secretly paid attention to all this and realized that they had finally entered the core barrier of the Imperial God Tree inside the barrier outside the mountain.

Although Musashi had not told him clearly before, he also guessed that such a hinterland that the Sakura Empire attached great importance to must be surrounded by a large barrier outside the mountain.

Sure enough, when Jiang Feng raised his hand and pushed open the closed front gate of the shrine courtyard, Lin Lan who walked in found that the scene inside the shrine was completely different from what he and Musashi had seen outside just now.
