Azur Lane: I took the graduation port area through time

From a distance, the Lipton family's manor is much larger than Mander's mansion.

As a noble in Shimmer City hundreds of years ago, the Lipton family's background is not comparable to the wealth of a slave trader.

However, at this time, there are almost no people in the block where the Lipton family is located, which seems inexplicably gloomy.

"It's the stand barrier. This manor is covered by protective magic."

Logatis removed the invisibility magic on everyone, looked at the deserted Lipton family mansion and said:

"Such a large coverage area should be the work of a seventh-level protection mage."

In response, Lin Lan said calmly:

"It may also be the barrier released by the magic scroll. Shimmer City does not have so many high-level professions."

While talking, they also came to the front door of the Lipton family's manor.

"We have all come to this distance, and the other party has not noticed our arrival. I am afraid that the situation of the Lipton family is worse than I thought."

After he said thoughtfully, he stretched out his right hand and aimed at the edge of the barrier.

Although he no longer had the skill bar for the brave, his comprehension of the elements of the other world had already far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Under his command, the gray chaos elements specially used to destroy barrier-like creatures slowly gathered in his palm.

But just as he was about to break the barrier, the magic barrier that they could not see with their naked eyes suddenly opened a gap.

And the manor door that was originally closed was slowly unlocked as if it was automatically sensed.

"It seems that the other party has finally noticed it. Let's go."

Seeing this, Lin Lan dispersed the chaos elements in his hand and strode into the barrier field with the three ship girls and Logatis beside him.

And when he walked into the main gate of the manor, the surrounding scenery changed drastically in an instant.

There was a faint bloody smell in the air, and the originally clear and bright sky outside was also covered by dark red clouds.

Compared with the extremely vigilant Logatis, Lin Lan, Marco Polo, Mogador. The dragon cavalry were all calm and composed.

This scale of scenery change is completely different from the mirror sea of ​​Antix.

Under his leadership, the group walked directly to the door of the castle-like building in this eerie manor.

Lin Lan played a game called "Castlevania" when he was on Blue Star, and the style of the towering mansion in the center of the manor, combined with the eerie environment, really gave him a sense of déjà vu.

On both sides of the heavy gate, there stood two stone statues several meters high, with folded wings and ferocious faces like bats.

When they approached, the two demon-like stone statues moved slightly, suddenly opened their eyes and looked directly at them.

"Gargoyle, interesting."

There was no need for Lin Lan to take action, as Mogador beside him had already taken the initiative.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

As the long spear and chain axe in the hands of the iris purple-haired girl turned into afterimages, the two gargoyles were smashed into pieces before they even had time to spread their wings and take off.

Lin Lan had long known that the subspace demons from another world were no different from trash to his ship girls.

He gave Mogador a look of approval, ignored the numb Logatis, looked up at the closed door of the mansion and said:

"Okay, there's no need to show us this little trick. You should have seen that we are not here to fight you."

"When did the people of the Inquisition become so easy to talk to... cough cough cough..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a weak voice of an old man sounded behind the door.

And after a violent cough, the huge door finally rose slowly.

In front of Lin Lan and the accompanying ship girls was a white-haired old man supported by a woman with a pair of black horns on her head, wearing revealing and sexy clothes, and with a delicate face full of heartache.

In the hall behind the two, a large number of unconscious children of the Lipton family and guards of various professions were crawling in noble brocade clothes.

Many small demons with strange looks were holding potions or medical equipment in the hall, taking care of the unconscious members of the Lipton family.

"Succubus?!"

Logatis behind him saw the two people appear, pointed the tip of the trident in his hand at the goat-horned woman, and asked in a trembling voice.

This was also the first time that Lin Lan really saw a succubus.     As a native demon race in the subspace, succubus are only female, and they are keen on feeding on the male spirits of various races.

"Paganism can summon demons and sign contracts with demons. Isn't it normal for succubus to appear here?

"Am I right, Lipton family patriarch, Count Janrella Lipton?

"Or should I change the name, Plague Lord-Roman Robert?"

Lin Lan glared at Logatis, then looked at the old man supported by the succubus, and told the other party's true identity.

After he said this name through the invisible breath's mind reading technique, Marco Polo and Mogador frowned:

"This name... Commander, this guy was not simple before."

Marco Polo recalled and whispered in his ear:

"The soul-melting plague that broke out in the south of the Teaching Country more than ten years ago was led by this guy to spread the paganism, causing tens of thousands of people to have their souls devoured by the plague."

Mogador also whispered coldly with a serious face:

"After that, the Holy Light Church's Inquisition has been looking for him. I didn't expect that he would hide in such a place with his family and subordinates."

Listening to his two shipmates talking about each other's "feats" in the past, Lin Lan finally understood why the other party's eyes were full of sadness, and why the pagan believers of the so-called "Lipton" family had a mental breakdown.

The so-called soul-melting plague is actually the corrosive force of Category V threatening pollution sources.

After being contaminated and distorted by Category V threats, this group of pagan believers were used as puppets to spread corruption and pollution, causing a huge disaster in the teaching country.

Judging from the timing of the end of the plague, it should be after the Siren came to this other world and contained the Category V threatening pollution incident.

"It seems that your investigation is very clear...

"I am Roman, the 'Plague Lord' who has committed heavy crimes."

It was only then that Roman, who was supported by the succubus, finally spoke in a tired voice.

He pushed away the succubus who wanted to say more, knelt down in front of them, and said hoarsely as if he was confessing his sins:

"Although you judges may not believe it, the gods we believe in are the same creator gods as the Goddess of Holy Light.

"But that god... was corrupted by evil spirits from the outside world thousands of years ago, and the souls of all his followers were also distorted.

"Thousands of years, thousands of years, generations of followers have become the executioners of evil spirits from outside the territory, constantly harvesting the souls and lives of their compatriots for the evil spirits, and creating good opportunities for the evil spirits to penetrate the plane and invade again and again.

"And the demons, the creations of the gods that we believe in, are not supposed to kill like that. The demons that have descended for thousands of years have long been controlled and corrupted by the demons and become their minions...

"It wasn't until yesterday that we finally woke up and understood what kind of tragedy we had caused..."

When Roman said this with a confessional voice, the succubus beside him also covered his mouth, with tears rolling down his face.

"We are willing to accept all judgments. Since the evil spirits no longer control us, it means that the gods we believe in have died and we have no meaning in our existence."

At the end of Roman's words, the demons in the hall also knelt down to them, showing that they would not resist.

The entire hall was filled with an aura of death.

As Roman said, as believers in gods, the corrupt gods believed in by pagans disintegrated yesterday. Under the double blow of the sins they have committed for generations and the loss of spiritual support, they have no desire to live.

As for the demons, as a divine species created by the god before being corrupted, they can no longer perceive their creator after getting rid of cognitive erosion.

"Commander, the god worshiped by pagans and the creator of demons... must be the corrupted goddess of subspace. Could it be possible that she was given to you by you yesterday?"

Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, Marco Polo asked softly in his ear.

Thinking that all the Category V threats mentioned by the commander yesterday had been eliminated, Marco Polo felt dazed.

Although she trusted her commander from beginning to end, she still felt a little unbelievable when this shocking fact was before her eyes.

Lin Lan nodded to Marco Polo, then looked at Roman who was kneeling and said softly:

"Actually, your gods are not dead."

"?!"

His words were not loud, but they were like thunder, causing Roman and the demons in the hall to suddenly raise their heads and look at him blankly.
