The time-based admiral of KanColle

Therefore, the Manas Mountains, which was renamed Mount Emei, was completely transformed from a famous mountaineering destination into a sect similar to the Buddhist Shaolin Temple, recruiting many disciples and gradually evolving into a place where people specialize in practicing martial arts and a unique scenic spot.

Just like monks in a temple have salaries, as long as you become a formal disciple in the Donghuang sect, you can receive generous salary and benefits. Although a certain Donghuang ship girl has always emphasized that it is called an internal disciple, due to the good salary and benefits, there are still many people who enthusiastically participate in the audition for disciples and become a member of the Wudang sect.

After all, through the powerful credit endorsement effect of the ship girls, as long as they can be selected as disciples and formally practice martial arts for a few years, they will be able to easily apply for security departments or positions such as volunteer police in the future.

By the way, since we are living in a modern society, many parents send their children here to practice martial arts every summer vacation, and the Donghuang sect in Mount Emei will of course take the opportunity to charge corresponding tuition fees.

In short, although it cannot compare with the capital-integrated monopoly power of the Sardinia Chamber of Commerce, the Donghuang Sect in Mount Emei is also expanding its unique influence in its own way today.

At the same time, in a quiet bamboo forest on the top of Mount Emei.

In the elegant and emerald bamboo forest with no one around, the clear green bamboo leaves are swaying constantly as the mountain breeze blows.

In the center of this peaceful and pleasant bamboo forest stands an antique stone table and several stone chairs. In addition to a black and white Go board, there are also ceramic teapots and teacups on the stone table.

However, beside this stone table in the bamboo forest full of Donghuang charm, a girl in a black dress who seemed out of place in the atmosphere was sitting on a stone pier with a beautiful and elegant figure, looking a little bored, as if she was waiting for someone.

The clear and elegant pink cascade hair was decorated with red and black metal mechanical horns, and the Lolita-style black lace-up skirt was matched with a loose long-sleeved skirt. After waiting for a long time, a delicate and light-hearted iron-blooded girl finally couldn't help but blinking her dark yellow eyes anxiously.

"Hey! How long do you, a woman from the Donghuang ship, want me, the great Prince Ruprecht, to wait?"

Along with the willful and arrogant cry, Prince Ruprecht, who was feeling more and more irritated, finally couldn't help but step out of his cute black lady shoes. He stood up with his hands on his hips with full momentum. At the same time, a hideous and huge iron-blooded mechanical dragon ship suit also emerged from behind him, making a manic sound.

Iron Blood Battlecruiser Project Ship - Prince Rupprecht.

"In short, if you don't come out, I will burn down your entire bamboo forest!"

"Haha, don't be so impatient, Prince Ruprecht."

In response to Prince Ruprecht's dissatisfied and threatening voice, finally, with the breeze blowing in the forest, a golden mechanical long-handled umbrella suddenly came out from the dense bamboo forest and firmly inserted into the soil next to Prince Ruprecht.

Then, as the large bamboo forest swayed, the emerald bamboo leaves began to fall one after another, and a sassy queen with a tight and explosive figure stepped on the bamboo leaves flying around and flew into the air onto the long handle of the mechanical long-handled umbrella that was inserted into the soil.

In an instant, as her black ponytail with golden highlights fell on her wide thick velvet robe, a big sister from the Donghuang Project Ship with a slight smile on her lips came straight in front of Prince Ruprecht.

Donghuang light cruiser project ship - Binjiang.

"That's great, Prince Ruprecht. You look very energetic and have a good physique. Do you want to learn Zixia Magic from me? Combined with the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Technique and Light Footsteps, you will definitely become the strongest cruiser girl~?"

Binjiang raised her proud figure from under her black and gold armpit-exposed uniform, and sat cross-legged on the stone table. After she finished speaking, she patted Ruprecht's soft shoulder and said, "Anyway, don't be polite. Just talk about anything, my iron-blooded good sister."

"Ugh! Who would call me a good sister? Really, you should be a little more cautious!"

Looking at the Donghuang girl in front of him who was as arrogant as always, Ruprecht quickly snorted and flicked her pink hair aside, then angrily emphasized to Binjiang: "Don't forget, those damn Sardinian ship girls are now in the limelight, and the popularity and achievements of the two of us are not even comparable to them!"

"No matter what kind of martial arts tournament you hold or what my mafia has done recently, they are far less popular than the Sardinian ship girl on the Internet."

As he spoke, Ruprecht, full of resentment, couldn't help but raise his flawless white silk calves and angrily kicked the mechanical dragon surrounding him.

That's right. After all, compared with the powerful Sardinia Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Guard Knight Fleet known as the Hero Fleet, these scattered ship women really have no advantage in competing with them in fame.

Moreover, after the power of the Sirens declined, they basically had no chance to show their skills. This was simply a desolation and shame for Prince Rupprecht, who wanted to do whatever he wanted and was the only one who was in charge!

Thinking of this, Ruprecht, who wanted to cooperate with Binjiang to fight against the Sardinian ship woman, frowned and asked softly: "So, what are you going to do? Your so-called sect competition is not as popular as Roma and the others."

'Hehe~ It's okay. Anyway, what I teach is real Kung Fu. One day I will surpass their fame.'

"Really? But I've never seen any human being who can emit a strange airflow like you."

Hearing Ruprecht complain about her sect's level, Binjiang was stunned for a moment and then analyzed very straightforwardly: "Well... let me think, after more than two hundred years of hard training, humans may, should, probably be able to cultivate internal strength and release internal energy."

"Wait a minute! After all, humans can't develop your so-called inner strength!"

"Haha, if your internal skills are not good enough, learning external skills first can help you hold on for a while, right~?"

Looking at the arrogant Ruprecht in front of him, Binjiang puffed out his chest and put his hands on his waist and added with great momentum: "In short, if I, Binjiang, were not born, the martial arts world would be as dark as a long night! Those guys who don't understand the way of chivalrous will certainly not understand!"

"Every time I try to invite them over, the royal guys and the Sardinian guys always say no, which is really frustrating."

"Humph~ Since they look down on us like this, why don't we just attack them together!"

Ruprecht complained with Binjiang about the arrogant Sardinian ship girls and the reclusive Royal ship girls. The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but begin to exude a gloomy aura.

After all, only Ruprecht has the right to look down on others, and no one else has the right to look down on her Ruprecht (shocked voice)!

Thinking of this, Ruprecht, who was sulking by himself, immediately swung his loose red and black sleeves, and looked slightly depressed towards Binjiang, who was leaning against a bamboo on the left and casually took out a gourd wine jug to drink.

Because in fact, she really didn't like this big sister from Donghuang who had a gangster vibe. Compared with other Donghuang ship girls who were usually considered to be ladies from noble families, this girl wearing a thick fur coat and a single ponytail with dyed hair was as familiar as a big sister.

But as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Compared to those Sardinian ship girls who use their noses to look at the ship, she would rather endure staying with this guy, and then find an opportunity to trip up that hateful Rome together!

Just as Ruprecht, who had the temper of a spoiled young lady, was secretly planning how to make Roma and the others regret underestimating the iron-blooded ship girl, Binjiang, who was sitting next to her, leaned back her curvy body, held the wine gourd in one hand, sat cross-legged, and joked to Ruprecht.

"By the way, Ruprecht, do you really not want to learn martial arts from me? Judging from your personality, you are very suitable to be a leader of a demon cult or a demon."

"Hmph~ Stop repeating these names that I don't understand. I am the Iron Blood Ship Girl, not the East Glory Ship Girl!"

Looking at Ruprecht who silently expressed his dissatisfaction, Binjiang smiled lightly and then drank the wine gourd in his hand generously.

She is willful and self-centered, firmly believes that she is the strongest and most correct, and wants everyone to submit to her. This is the iron-blooded and proud young lady named Prince Ruprecht.

But no matter how bad a person's personality is, as long as she is a ship girl who lives her own life, Binjiang will be happy to get along with her.

Besides, the personal trainer of the great leader of the righteous sect and the great villain of the evil sect really sounds full of martial arts charm~?

"By the way, how's your mafia doing lately?"

"Don't even mention it. Those cowardly guys don't even dare to rebel. They are not worthy of being my subordinates (drum face)!"

Looking at Ruprecht who was complaining about his subordinates, Binjiang shook the empty wine gourd in his hand, then smiled calmly and said, "If a soldier is incompetent, the general will be incompetent too. The incompetence of the subordinates is also the incompetence of the superior, Ruprecht."

"I can't be wrong! Even if I'm wrong, I'm still right!"

"Hahaha, what a great momentum! But now is a peaceful era. If you do anything out of line, the Romans won't mind using you to gain the support of the people and glory, Ruprecht."

Realizing that Ruprecht seemed to want to raise the flag and stir up unrest, Binjiang, who was particular about revenge, naturally did not say much, but reminded him straightforwardly: "Then you will only be regarded as a sinner, and the imperial ladies will be able to be heroes again."

"What about you? Will you stand on their side when the time comes?"

Listening to Binjiang's advice, Ruprecht, who showed no sign of guilt at all, asked back in a particularly calm manner.

In response, Bin Jiang, with her beautiful eyes slightly frowned, turned around and responded with a little surprise: "Strange, don't you know that the martial arts world and the government have always not interfered with each other?"

"Wait, what kind of nonsense excuses are these?"

Faced with Binjiang's words that only the Donghuang ship girl could understand, Ruprecht, who was really unable to communicate with Binjiang, could only sigh and change the subject: "Compared to me, you should deal with your own affairs."

"Because of your tournament, there's a lot of human presence outside right now, which is really unpleasant."

"Don't be so cold. How about you come and watch the game with me as the guest of the Glory Elders~?"

"Tsk, what's the point of watching a bunch of humans fighting each other? We are ship girls!"

Seeing that Binjiang seemed to be very concerned about the affairs of his own sect, Ruprecht, unable to understand, raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and confusion.

After all, if we use them, the ship girls, as a reference, the fights between humans would be as boring as children watching ants fight.

"Hehe, the water in the world is very deep, Ruprecht, just have some expectations for the time being."

"You told me the same thing last time, and at the martial arts tournament before that."

After complaining expressionlessly about Binjiang, who had no negative emotions at all, Ruprecht, who had nothing to do, jumped off the stone bench and landed lightly in the bamboo forest. She narrowed her bright pink eyes, put her hands on her hips and said with a smile: "I want the best seat! The environment must be good, the view must be good, and it can't be too noisy around!"

"Yeah, that's a nice vibe. Let's have a few drinks while we're at it!"

"I don't want to drink your spicy white wine. I want to drink real dark beer!"

As the elegant green bamboo forest was filled with laughter and chatter among the ship girls, at the same time, at the foot of the entire mountain, bustling mountaineering tourists were standing in an orderly manner in the waiting area of ​​the cable car, talking and laughing about the surrounding scenery and recent interesting things.

Looking at the water shops at the foot of the surrounding mountains and those fully armed mountaineering tourists, and following the instructions on the signboards, Yaxu came to the front of the mountain trail alone.

At this moment, many staff members in disciple uniforms were organizing the scene in an orderly manner.

Sure enough, is there a basic threshold for participating in the competition?

Seeing many Sanda and fighting enthusiasts gathered in front of the reception desk, the curious Ya Xu soon noticed that on the long mountain stairs not far away, there were many strong men with exposed upper bodies, panting and dragging their feet and hands tied with stone rings, climbing up little by little.

"Within the stipulated three hours, you must strap on weights and hike to the top of the mountain. This is the most basic requirement. There will be people monitoring you along the way, so you'd better not expect to do anything tricky. Of course, there is no registration fee here. If you can't do it, please just give up."

Listening to the explanation of the staff in disciple uniform in front of him, Yaxu, who was tied with a watch and a stone ring, was confused for a moment, and soon stood blankly in front of the mountain stairs that seemed to have no end.

If you think about it carefully, this is a pretty good experience.

With the purpose of getting the bonus and relieving his mood at the same time, Yaxu smiled lightly and finally stepped forward calmly.

Chapter 1453 Losing Yaxu Syndrome (Thick Fog)

Near noon——

The scorching sun shone through the shade of the trees in the mountains and forests. On the endless mountain stairs, Yaxu, slightly out of breath, was dragging heavy stone bracelets and anklets, walking up step by step.

As the timer ticked, Yaxu, who was walking in a regular pace, soon noticed that on a staircase rest platform not far above, a stylishly dressed man in sunglasses was holding up a selfie stick and a mobile phone, and enthusiastically greeted the camera: "Yes, fans, I am now standing on the steps of the famous Xiwu Mountain. I deliberately did not take the cable car to bring you to see the foreign tourists who are preparing to participate in the competition."

"So if you are interested, remember to follow me, because I will be explaining this event in the next few days. You should know that this is a real fight with real fists and flesh, without any fake fighting mixed in."

With an excited tone and the humorous remarks typical of internet celebrities, the energetic man in sunglasses then directed the camera to the sweaty participants going up and down the stairs of the mountain trail.

Of course, because he just came up to take pictures, he didn't wear any weights, but watched for fun.

Until the next second, Yaxu, who was climbing the mountain with simple and fast movements, suddenly appeared in front of him.

In response to this, the outgoing man in sunglasses quickly came over and called out to Yaxu, who was concentrating on climbing the mountain.

"Hey, man, can you tell me why you came to participate in this competition?"

After listening to the sunglasses man's words and being pointed at by the phone on his selfie stick, Yaxu looked at the sunglasses man in front of him with some surprise and asked, "Strange, aren't you here to participate in the competition?"

"Me? Haha, I'm just a streamer who came to join in the fun. After all, there are many fitness influencers and self-defense coaches who come to participate in this kind of competition to win the game. The activities hosted by KanColle have always been extremely popular and have a lot of traffic."

Looking at the innocent Yaxu in front of him, the talkative man in sunglasses told his purpose very straightforwardly.

After all, these days, traffic means income. Even if the Donghuang ship girl’s intention of holding the sect competition is not to make money, it does not affect others from making profits from it.

At this point, the man in sunglasses habitually handed a cigarette to Yaxu in front of him, and said to Yaxu in front of the camera: "I heard that if you perform well, you will be invited by the ship girl to join the mountain gate here and be selected as a disciple."

"Although it sounds a bit childish, the treatment of disciples here is indeed very good. Many people sign up every year. Unfortunately, the threshold seems to be a bit harsh. Anyway, buddy, do you want to use the martial arts competition to get in?"

After saying that, the man in sunglasses handed the lighter to Yaxu, but the next second Yaxu pushed it back along with the cigarette.

"No, I just came here for the bonus, and I also came here to relax."

After realizing that the man in sunglasses was treating him as a target for the show, Yaxu, who did not reject it, smiled calmly and said, "Because this is indeed a good experience, isn't it? It's also good to treat it as a challenge."

"Oh, so you're treating this like the Go Fighting game? You're really open-minded, buddy. Let's take a photo together as a souvenir. I wish you a good performance!"

Having said that, the man in sunglasses enthusiastically invited Yaxu to take a photo with him.

In response to this, Yaxu lowered his head subtly.

After all, he suddenly came to participate in this competition on a whim, not so much for the prize money as for escaping reality.

Because of the appearance of that group of strange ship girls and Miss Kaidie's warning, the increasing sense of disharmony and confusion has made him no longer clear about what kind of existence he is.

So instead of staying in the hotel and letting Brest and the others worry about him, he might as well come out and calm down and think about himself.

Besides, he really wanted to meet the Donghuang Ship Girl mentioned by Roma. You know, Da Vinci and the others had specifically expressed their admiration, saying that his fighting moves were very much in the style of the Donghuang Ship Girl.

So maybe... that Donghuang ship girl would know his origins, just like Vanguard and the others.

at the same time--

Just when Yaxu was participating in the competition, after a day and night of non-stop travel, Xiafei and the others, who had specially returned to the church on the isolated island to pack up all the gifts, finally returned to Yaxu's hotel.

As the soft holy light sprinkled on the lawn in the courtyard, as soon as the elegant Brest stepped into the hotel, the petite and handsome Unyielding quickly stepped out his white silk legs with great interest, stepped on metal short boots, and jumped directly into the hotel from the viewing corridor.

"The proud knight of the Holy See brought you a gift. It's a cross pendant that has been blessed by the Holy Light. It's just the right gift for the doll. So you don't have to thank Buqu specially. Of course, it's okay to praise him a little more."

The childish voice carried the noble bearing unique to a little knight of the Vatican. After searching everywhere in the inn, the unyielding man, dressed in black and white knight clothes, couldn't help but blink his blue eyes in confusion.

"Strange, isn't he home, human?"

Just when Buqu was feeling a little lost, the gentle and delicate Brest also walked in gracefully from the main entrance of the hotel, and smiled and comforted Buqu: "Maybe Mr. Yaxu went out to buy something, let's go to the guest room and wait for him."

"But as for the ingredients, it seems that Rome sent a special car to deliver them, so there is no need for him to purchase them for humans."

Using her dark wings to shake off the remaining moisture from the night's speeding on the sea, the cool and straightforward Xiafei then analyzed directly behind Brest: "Come to think of it, during the time we stayed in the hotel, the human didn't go out much, but stayed in the study. Did you go there to look for him?"

"Okay, I'll go check it out now!"

After carefully nodding her rosy cheeks, Buqiu was about to turn around and run upstairs with full momentum, but Brest, with his beautiful eyes slightly frowned, reached out from behind and pulled him back.

"Okay, Unyielding, this impolite behavior is not in line with Iris's teachings."

Brest placed his delicate hands on the chest of the pure white dress, smiled and added: "Although I understand that you want to find the cross pendant and give it to Mr. Yaxu, it is too polite to barge into his room when the owner is not at home."

"Indeed, we still need to maintain a good sense of distance."

In response to Brest's reminder, Xiafei, who had been silent for a moment, began to teach the silly Buqu a lesson with a stern face the next second, as if it was not her words that asked Buqu to go upstairs to find Yaxu just now.
