"Shake, shake! Shake, shake! Shake to ......" Barrett was lying in a hammock, except for humming the song he heard from nowhere. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info really couldn't find anything else to do for a while.

Life on the sea is always boring. Although there were two or three practice fights a day against the Morpheus Knights, it was impossible for either side to devote all their energy to this kind of thing. The Morpheus Knight also has his own duties to fulfill - although most of the time (not during combat) it is probably just for show, but still to show the crew their attitude.

And Barrett, who joined temporarily, is now a senior fighter who has been idle. Aside from the day-to-day sparring routine, there really wasn't much to be done on this quiet day that Barrett needed to be involved in. And because he had no experience as a seafarer, even if Barrett was going to offer to help, the officers would immediately decline politely.

These naval officers believed in Barrett's fighting power and believed that his presence would provide a significant guarantee for the safety of the ships in the ensuing battle. But they did not believe in Barrett's professionalism in the ship business, and in their opinion not all warriors who wield swords and swords could easily learn how to steer and steer the sails.

Fortunately, Barrett is in good shape, and he is quite acceptable to this kind of life. At this time he was glad that the Earl had not agreed to his companions. Otherwise, he will definitely be made verbose by those idle and panicked female compatriots.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a knock on the wooden door of the cabin, and then the sailor who knocked on the door pushed the door in, and instead said through the door: "Mr. Boreham, the Murphys Knights invite you to join us in the battle meeting." ”

"Combat meeting? At a time like this? As Barrett rolled over and got out of bed, this question was born in his heart. However, since it was the recruitment of the Morpheus Knight, he naturally opened the curtain and hurried to the hatch without saying a word.

Following the sailor in front of him, Barrett walked back and forth through the corridors in the cabin. Drill through one doorway after another, and climb up two decks in a row along the stairs. Then the sailor stood outside a carved hatch, knocked on it, and said, "My lords, Mr. Boram has arrived." ”

"Let him in!" Immediately after that, Captain Kaplin's voice came from behind the door, and it seemed that this time the other party was the host of the combat meeting. But as it stands, it's quite normal.

The first thing Barrett saw when he pushed the door in was the solid wood square table with the brick-shaped back book and scrolls. The chairs next to the dining table were also embedded with calfskin cushions wrapped in cotton mattresses. Even the deck beneath your feet looks like it's covered with black and white tiles, and the whole décor is completely different from the cabin below.

However, a closer look at Barrett reveals that the so-called 'floor tiles' in front of him are canvas with a square pattern. In this way, although the decoration grade has dropped sharply, it has also dissipated a lot of the original rich hedonistic atmosphere.

Barrett, who pushed the door into the cabin, found that in addition to the Morpheus Knight and Captain Caplin, there was also Master Murphy and Brierley, who rarely left the cabin after boarding the ship. These are the people in charge of several major aspects of this operation, but his own identity does not match these people.

So when he walked in and closed the hatch, he said, "Barrett Bolum is here to report." ”

Then he walked straight behind the Morpheus Knight as a background - because Barrett knew that the qualification to audit this time was a benefit that the Morpheus Knight had earned for himself. Although his own character identity has helped to some extent, if the Morpheus Knight does not take the initiative to speak, it is still no fun.

In the Indigenous perspective, participating in such meetings is not only a way to gain knowledge, but also a pretty good resume. So since the Morpheus knight offered help with good intentions, Barrett naturally wanted to accept his affection.

"At the beginning of the meeting, we will summarize the information we have obtained before." Captain Caplin then turned his gaze to Mage Murphy, "You should have gotten some information from that 'Jinghai Guardian' about the rest of your trip!" ”

"That gentleman, I don't think there's anything wrong with that word to describe it." Mage Murphy paused as he said this, "That gentleman did reveal something in the conversation. Judging from the information we know, our next trip is not very optimistic. ”

"So it's hard to avoid fighting, right? Those guys who stand in the way, can't they be solved through negotiation like the 'Jinghai Guardians'? "Kaplin, as the captain of the ship and the head of the sea for this operation, was the last thing he wanted to be fought.

Although when Boreham led the fleet, he had already prepared for the worst - the number of combat reserves was amazing. But Captain Kaplin, as the leader, was just as reluctant to get into battle. Because that often means that there will be losses for the old sailors on board. For the Boreham fleet, the less the better.

Mage Murphy said with a blank face, "I'm afraid it's unlikely. After about three days, we'll be in an area where ocean currents meet. There used to be a tribe of pike people, but now it is overrun by a group of Naga who make a living from raiding. ”

"Those pike people were defeated by the Naga?" Captain Kaplin's face turned ugly, "If they're still around, we're not just going to be able to negotiate the right of way. You might even be able to trade with them along the way. ”

Among the many fish-man populations, the pista-man is a relatively easy group to communicate with. These creatures have silvery skin, and the lower half of their bodies gradually darkens until they become creatures with silver-blue scales. Withdrawn by nature and inclined to avoid fighting, he is a rare pacifist in the ocean.

Although these pike people, who often ride dolphins outside their nests, tend to be very brave when it comes to defending their homes. But does this have anything to do with the Boreham fleet? Even if all those barracuda people were good at weapons near and far, these three frigates had no intention of going to war with them.

When the time comes, as long as you pay a courtesy visit, give some greeting gifts. Further communication issues can then be negotiated. It's a pity that everything came to naught.

"O Naga! That creature is very difficult to deal with! At this time, even the Morpheus Knight frowned.

The so-called naga are serpentine bodies with elongated, shimmering scales and somewhat similar human faces. Most of them are between 10 and 20 feet long and weigh between 200 and 500 pounds. The eyes of this intelligent creature are bright and insightful, as if burning with a spiritual light that can almost hypnotize people. (This creature is very different from the one in World of Warcraft)

While these creatures are often physically only able to bite with their mouths or whip with their tails, the toxins in their fangs are not necessarily much of a threat. But in terms of supernatural abilities, it is very different, because the vast majority of adult nagas have a high level of warlock, but because of the different types of spell casting ability, there is a high and a bottom.

But even the worst Naga spellcasters often have the ability to use the 3-ring arcane. So if you go to war with that Naga tribe, the picture will be very beautiful. Even the Morpheus Knight was reluctant to deal with such a group of creatures.

At this time, Captain Kaplin was still a little unwilling: "Is there really nothing to talk about with those Nagas?" ”

"Ugh! Although there are some naga who have a friendlier attitude. But there are some obvious not. Mage Murphy shook his head, "According to the 'Guardian of the Sea', those Nagas were very cruel when they attacked the Barracuda before......"

Judging from the information provided by a tall elf, the exterminated pike people migrated to that location a year ago when the ocean current was diverted. The confluence of the two currents brings abundant nutrients to the surrounding waters, nourishing the marine life in this area. And the pike people who migrated there did have a pretty good and comfortable life.

However, occupying such a feng shui treasure land, and not having enough strength on its own, is tantamount to a child holding gold in the downtown area. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of Naga to come to the door. Although the barracuda people fought bravely, in the face of absolute strength, they eventually became the food of those Naga.

As for whether the 'Jinghai Guardians' have clashed with those Nagas, Master Murphy personally believes that there is. Otherwise, the 'Jinghai Guardian' would not have told the fleet about this.

"Is it possible that the 'Jinghai Guardian' is deliberately provoking? I remember that if image issues were ruled out, most of the water naga were more friendly. "Captain Caplin is still unwilling to give up the last chance of peace.

And at this time, the Morpheus Knight also spoke: "I don't think the other party needs to lie about things like this. Even if we were deliberately misled, it would be impossible for us to attack the underwater Naga. It's not time to be on guard. ”

"If you really want to avoid it, go around it before you reach that area!" Mage Murphy looked at Captain Caplin's expression and made this suggestion.

Captain Kaplin looked down and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm afraid not!" Although the 'Jinghai Guardians' are powerful, they are one fact after all. Konanaga is a whole tribe, and who knows how big their hunting range is. Our frigates are safer, but if the merchant ships operate in the future, it will be difficult to deal with any problems. ”

"Looks like you have to fight?" Knight Morpheus frowned, "Since it's a tribe, I hope there are no Naga lords in there!" Otherwise, it would be better for us to run away decisively. ”

Lord Naga is a huge and powerful leader of the Naga who are often worshipped as gods by their Nagas. These creatures resemble the appearance of regular naga, though they can grow up to 100 feet or larger, and possess massive size and strength. Naga lords do not have a fixed color, like chameleons, they change the color and shade of the color on their scales to suit their surroundings, and their heads are usually the heads of beautiful women and handsome men.

In the archives created by the mages, Lord Naga is the standard legendary creature. Although there are quite a few parallel imports in the so-called legendary creature archives. But even so, the Morpheus Knight didn't think he could handle it.

"It shouldn't be, otherwise the previous 'Jinghai Guardian' wouldn't be so stable. And the Naga lords like to build their lairs on the ruins of ancient cities. This is especially true in the heart of such places, such as temples, the ruler's rooms. It's hard to see in the sea. Again, Mage Murphy offered a little help with his own.

Knight Morpheus let out a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, there will be some fighting." Then the next step is to notify the two sister ships behind and let everyone be vigilant? ”

"I hope we can go well in this battle!" Captain Caplin prayed.

After the meeting, Barrett was ushered back to his room by the Morpheus Knight. In the small single room, which consisted only of a desk and a hammock, Morpheus Knight stared at Barrett and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about the meeting just now?" ”

"It's really not too easy to say." Barrett scratched his head slightly in embarrassment.

Knight Morpheus tapped the table: "What are you afraid of, if you have something to say, just say it." Otherwise, I'll let you come here for nothing. ”

"I don't care if I offend people! I've always thought Captain Kaplin was acting a little weird just now. Barrett frowned and said what was on his mind.

"Hey! The pressure on him from this operation was too great. Knight Morpheus sighed lightly, "Originally, this kind of operation should have sent a higher-ranking realm leader to suppress the formation. However, the situation on the mainland makes it necessary to keep everything simple. Let's hope he can turn the pressure into motivation! What else? ”

"I don't think the fight with Naga should find a way to protect the hull. It is said that there are many warlocks who can 'make strong acid arrows' among these creatures. Barrett, who was purely making soy sauce just now, could only say a little bit of his own opinion at this time.

Knight Morpheus nodded: "You don't have to worry about this. Corvettes have long had a whole set of countermeasures. But you have to be careful in the next few days. While you may be asked to enter the water to fight, remember not to go too far from the ship. ”

"Then I'm going to give me a spell to breathe underwater, I can swim like a fish, but I can't breathe like a fish." Listening to this, Barrett immediately said witty things. It seems that he intends to use this to wash away the heavy topic.

Knight Morpheus slapped Barrett on the shoulder, "Don't be a poor mouthful. Remember, you have to survive! Otherwise, my trip will be boring again. (To be continued.) )
