Chapter 648: "Big Surprise" After the New Year's Day

That's right. Compared with the concerns about Yunxian and Musashi, this is the most critical problem Lin Lan is facing now.

As a Donghuang person, he has never participated in similar festivals. How could he know how to deal with this bowl of well water?

Especially since Nagato just said that this bowl of well water still represents the good wishes of the Sakura warship girls, he was even more careful and didn't dare to spill a drop.

Hearing his question, even Nagato, who made a dignified expression, raised his mouth slightly and almost couldn't help laughing.

On the way here, she really forgot to explain to Lin Lan how to deal with this bowl of well water.

However, this well water representing blessings was originally offered to their gods. After the gods accepted the blessings, how to deal with it was naturally left to the gods to deal with.

And the commander is the god in their minds, no, even far beyond the existence of gods.

However, in order to help Lin Lan get rid of the embarrassing situation as soon as possible, Nagato smiled and shook his fox ears, and whispered to Lin Lan:

"Just drink it directly."

After hearing Nagato's words, Lin Lan was relieved and drank the bowl of well water directly under the eyes of the Sakura Empire's ship girls.

I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the taste of this cool well water was very sweet and delicious, which was completely different from the bitter taste of well water he had heard about when he was on Blue Star.

Well, maybe this small bowl of well water really carries the blessings of all the Sakura Empire's ship girls.

Lin Lan thought to himself, and Jiang Feng also stepped forward to take the empty bowl in his hand.

After walking down the steps with Nagato and Mutsu to the appropriate distance below, the Kagura dance performance officially began.

With the extremely elegant accompaniment of the Sakura Empire played by the Manju Orchestra, the shrine maidens holding Kagura bells took light steps and elegant dance postures, and deployed the formation very skillfully.

The Kagura dance performance officially began.

Although the styles and colors of their shrine maiden costumes were different, their graceful movements were all in unison, and they all looked at Lin Lan with a smile on their faces.

The movements of the Kagura dance were not as difficult as the live ones he had seen in White Eagle.

Under the slow-paced music, the shrine maidens and ship girls followed the beat and gently shook the Kagura bells in their hands, complementing the accompanying music.

But such a simple dance full of classical elegance seemed to have a magical power that gently caressed his heart.

He could see that for this dance, whether it was the Dragon God Shrine Maiden Shimanto, the little shrine maiden Harutsuki, or the Chitose and Chiyoda sisters who wore shrine maiden costumes as light as gauze and had wine-red hair, they had practiced countless times in private.

When the dance of the shrine maidens and ship girls was about to end with the music, Nagato beside him whispered to him:

"You just need to smile back at them for their efforts later."

Well, if Nagato hadn't reminded him in advance like this, Lin Lan would have been ready to applaud.

Led by Fuso and Yamashiro, the shrine maidens and shipgirls in front of the hall bowed to Lin Lan together after finishing the last bell cymbal action.

And Lin Lan also smiled from the bottom of his heart to several Sakura Empire shipgirls as the best response to this pleasing Kagura dance.

After the shrine maidens and shipgirls came to the stage one by one, Lin Lan, led by Nagato, climbed the steps together and came to the entrance of the main hall.

"I declare the New Year's Day Festival over. Senior Mikasa, Shinano, and Haku, please follow us into the hall to discuss important matters."

"Everyone, please move freely first, the commander will come to accompany you later."

After Nagato announced the end of the festival, as expected by Lin Lan, he called these three powerful Sakura Empire shipgirls.

It seems that there is really something unexpected about the demon king of the sacred tree barrier.

"Commander, follow me."

Although many Sakura Empire shipgirls were confused, they also more or less guessed that there might be something unexpected in the sacred tree barrier, and the commander needed to help solve it.

Akagi was upset when she saw this scene and wanted to ask further questions, but was pulled back by Amagi.

"Sister Amagi, the commander and the others..."

Akagi turned her head anxiously to see Amagi's obstruction.

But Amagi just smiled at her and shook her head gently:

"Akagi, what did I teach you before? Believe in the master, they will be back soon."

After that, Amagi let go of Akagi and touched Akagi's head.

"Then... let's wait for the commander here."

Akagi, who has always had a somewhat morbid personality, is like a good baby in front of Amagi. Although she is full of worries about Lin Lan and her tail is constantly wagging behind her, she finally listens to Amagi's words obediently.

Kaga, who was standing with Tosa, saw Akagi in this state and signaled Tosa to go to the stalls outside the shrine first. She would wait for Lin Lan with Akagi and Amagi here.

Many Sakura warship girls, including Taiho, also chose to stay.

After Lin Lan waved his hand apologetically to the Sakura Empire shipgirls, he quickly followed Nagato and Mutsu into the main hall.

Compared to the spacious and clean platform outside, the hall of this shrine has many cushions and various priestly utensils.

But Lin Lan didn't have the heart to look at these carefully. He looked at Nagato's back and asked anxiously:

"Is there an emergency with Yunxian and Musashi?"

After hearing his words, Nagato turned around and shook his head at him:

"Commander, I have to convey the apologies of the Great Sage, Musashi and Akashi for not being able to attend the New Year's Festival."

"The situation there is a bit special, and you may need to come and solve it yourself."

At the same time as Nagato answered, Mikasa also brought Shinano and Haku into the hall and came to Lin Lan's side.

Although Mikasa and Haku were both wearing kimonos, they were holding the scabbards of their swords in their hands.

And the white fox Shinano looked sleepy. She looked at Nagato and said lazily:

"Since I woke up in the morning, I have sensed the energy fluctuations in the sacred tree. Lord Shenzi, what happened in the sacred tree barrier?"

At this time, Mutsu seemed to be preparing some kind of heavy Sakura ritual, and an elliptical illusory light golden vortex was constantly twisting and expanding in the space in front of Mutsu.

Seeing that the four people, including Lin Lan, had doubts in their eyes, Nagato stopped keeping them in suspense and explained:

"Shortly before the New Year's Day Festival, the Great Sage sent a call from the Imperial God Tree barrier, asking me to take the commander into the Imperial God Tree barrier after the New Year's Day Festival."

"Akashi Chenshi brought a 'demon king' girl obtained from the Siren stronghold into the Imperial God Tree, and her aura awakened the will of disaster remaining on the branches of the Imperial God Tree."

Hearing Nagato's calm explanation, Lin Lan's eyes widened and blurted out in shock:

"What? The will of disaster... the invisible breath was awakened?!"

He originally thought that although there was an accident in the Imperial God Tree barrier, it should not be something particularly dangerous.

But what he never expected was that Nagato actually told him such a big "surprise".

The invisible breath is a terrifying existence closely related to the mysterious enemy X, and even has the ability to destroy the world!

Nagato actually told him such an important thing slowly until now?
