Under the blue sky, above the waves, the white sails dance and the green blades cut the waves. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info rode the southbound air current, the Boreham fleet departed from the port of Morbihan. Day and night in the blue waves, uncover the fog of the unknown on the chart.

The fleet of three frigates, the Silver Sword Brave, the Mithril Core, and the Iron Curtain, was lined up. While paddling the waves one after another, he also swayed left and right under the influence of the waves. Fortunately, there are no big storms at the moment, and the design and manufacture of the frigate itself is even more exquisite.

Therefore, even children with weak constitutions are not prone to physical discomfort due to the rocking of the boat. What's more, this time it was the elite of Boreham who participated in the operation. These sturdy men are either of great strength or have a long period of experience at sea. Even relatively weak mages have their own set of coping methods. So this time the voyage was not like the previous ones, and the cabin did not start with a vomit-like smell.

The barrel thrown from the side of the ship fell directly into the sea, and then a pair of shiny black arms swung back and forth, and a full bucket of seawater was lifted up by the muscular and tight arms. With a 'bang', the sea water was splashed directly on the deck, and immediately the nearby sailors waved the grinding stones in their hands to clean the wood that had no stains.

If a boatload of sturdy men does not find them something to do, something will happen sooner or later during this long journey. The work of washing the deck not only drains their energy, but also develops their discipline and obedience. It can be regarded as a cost-effective choice.

Of course, in addition to this almost useless job, Captain Badham was directing another group of sailors to carry out a relatively meaningful job. At this time, they were using the grinding stones in their hands to rub out the sound of "bang-la-la-la" on the round cast-iron cannonballs. The occasional flash of spark had just left his hand and vanished into thin air—leaving no trace at all.

These rudimentary cast-iron shells rust very quickly in the salt-filled moisture. Moreover, the corroded parts of steel are not like the protective film of aluminum, and they will further accelerate the rust of the remaining intact parts. If left unchecked, it won't be long before there is not much of the ship's ordinary ammunition left.

But it's not enough to just wipe the rust clean. If the iron ball with friction patterns is directly exposed to the air, the environment on the sea will return to its old appearance in a few days. So the shells that had been derusted by one person were handed to the other end of the cabin, where experienced sailors covered the cleaned iron balls with tung lacquer to coat them with a protective coat.

In short, even middle and lower-level officers need to be responsible for supervising and directing the work of the seafarers under their command. Except for those who lay on the hammock in turn, only the high-ranking naval officers had their own time at this time. Of course, a guest like Barrett naturally does not need to be involved in that kind of manual labor. But he doesn't have anything to spare right now.

With the oncoming wind blowing across his cheeks, Barrett, who had launched a charge, pierced his blade and tore at the air currents around him. But then a black light flashed, and he only felt an irresistible force coming from his arm, and then the whole person was distracted by the huge force.

Then he slid down nearly 20 feet, and only then did he manage to stabilize his body by the effect of gravity - the battle in the sky was no better than on land, and in such a place Barrett's feet hung in the air, and there was no force at all. And in a situation like the one just now, there is no suitable buffer target. If he was on the surface, he was fully capable of standing on the ground, but now he was thrown out like a shuttlecock.

Sure enough, there are still too many things to pay attention to in air combat, and even with the help of 'flying' and 'freedom', there are still big problems with my current experience. Barrett, who was back in the air, looked at the Morpheus Knight on the top right of him. After taking a deep breath, he charged again.

The sound of metal colliding from the top of the head still attracted the attention of many people on the deck. But in a matter of moments, the officers waved the nine-tailed whip in their hands, which did not strike the seamen, but the mere mere sound made them obediently withdraw their attention and get back to their work.

Controlling the course while engaging - keeping a relative parallel to the advancing ships. This may not be a difficult task for the Morpheus Knight on the horse, but for Barrett, it is a physical and mental test. After all, the speed of the sail battleship is still not slow, and this kind of chase alone consumes a lot of Barrett's physical strength.

In just a quarter of an hour or so, Barrett raised his hand in surrender because of the physical strength that had already entered the cordon. Then he descended back to the deck in the sea breeze, and the gentle sound of landing immediately attracted the attention of many sailors. But then the "crackling" whip sounded again, but they obediently turned back to rub the deck.

With Barrett gone, the Morpheus Knight, who was left alone in mid-air, was bored and pulled the reins back to the deck on his mount. Turning over and dismounting, he patted the horse's head, and the clever little fellow immediately flapped his wings and flew towards the stern deck. There will be someone to take care of the expensive mount.

It was also common for animals to be kept on large ships like this - although the average seafarer could live on bread, cheese, beans, bacon and rum. But the officers still had a demand for fresh ingredients - on the lowest deck below the medical cabin there was a specially opened cattle room, where cattle and sheep were kept. Pigs were excluded from the Boreham Navy due to their susceptibility to zoonotic diseases, although they are said to still be kept in other fleets.

In fact, in addition to the specially opened livestock rooms, some of the ships have meat sheep that can even roam freely on the forebuildings and upper decks. However, the active geese and hens can only be kept in lifeboats or cages on deck. Compared to the big white geese that don't know when they will be used to hold banquets, those hens that provide eggs have more security in life.

Of course, the completely different food standards of different classes may be difficult for many people in the real society to accept. However, Barrett, who also enjoys this privilege, can't do the kind of thing of 'picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl and scolding the mother'. At this time, he was panting and waiting for the comment of the Morpheus Knight.

"The performance is not bad, and the grasp of the rhythm of the battle is becoming more and more sophisticated." But after performing a few words just now, the Morpheus knight suddenly changed his voice: "But compared to a year ago, your combat skills have improved very limitedly. Is it that for more than a year, all the energy has been spent on other aspects? ”

Faced with Morpheus Knight's point-to-point comment, Barrett scratched his head embarrassedly: "Although I spent more experience on other aspects, I didn't give up on combat skills." ”

"No giving up is no giving up! However, the amount of effort invested is greatly reduced. Knight Morpheus, who did not know much about Barrett's deeds, was easily misled by his words. It's not because Morpheus Knight is really that easy to deceive, but because his thoughts at this time are in line with the norm of this world. After all, a situation like Barrett's is actually very difficult to come by.

"But no matter how much effort is expended, the progress in that area is still very insignificant." Speaking of this, Barrett also deliberately retorted, "On the contrary, it is the improvement of other abilities that can make my combat effectiveness grow greatly." And haven't I improved a little bit in terms of skills? It's not a fall! ”

"I understand you young people, after all, you were young in the first place. When one of the directions hits a bottleneck, it is inevitable that it will become irritable. Some will also turn in other directions to find a way like you. Speaking of this, the Morpheus Knight paused, "Although it can't be considered a mistake in a sense, don't forget Barrett, you are now only one final step away from being a true weapon master." This leap is not trivial, as long as you enter that step, your strength and status will be greatly improved. ”

Barrett, who heard this, shook his head: "I know what you said. However, I have been training outside for the past year, and that kind of environment does not allow me to bet on the bottleneck of not knowing when I will be able to break through. Only the power to get it quickly is the real security guarantee. ”

Of course, on the other hand, Barrett, who 'exposed' his identity as a god descending container, is now definitely higher in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Boreham Lords than the 'weapon master' in the general sense. But this kind of reason can't be made public - after all, no one but a fool would expose his secret weapon to the sun. So Barrett couldn't just say that right now, even if he was a Morpheus Knight.

"Tsk! It seems that what you need most now is not risk-taking, but long hours of practice and self-examination. The corners of Morpheus Knight's mouth rose sharply as he said this, "So during this time at sea, I will teach you well." ”

Barrett, who heard this, pursed his lips: "Teach me!" But Morpheus Knight, your own martial arts are not masters either. It's just that he is using the peculiarity of the way of knighthood to suppress me. ”

"The master of martial arts himself is good at the kind of means of defeating the strong with the weak, when will you be able to use your current strength to support my attack 15 times. It should be said that it is already a breakthrough in that regard. Murphy Knight paid no attention to Barrett's sarcasm. After all, the route he chose was completely different from that of a martial arts master, and he only needed to be good enough in terms of this kind of technique.

'Martial arts masters are the means by which the weak defeat the strong. Only the knight speaks! Who makes you always on the strong side most of the time......' Barrett, who complained in his heart, had another attitude on his lips: "I can't support it 5 times at all now!" If you're unlucky, you'll be knocked off in one confrontation, what kind of thing does it take to be able to do what you said? ”

"It's hard to say." Morpheus Knight was immediately asked. Who made him not very in-depth in this area!

However, after a brief silence, he spoke: "The most important thing is your grasp of the rhythm of others, as well as your own fighting style. Of course, this is just the experience of previous people, and I don't have much research myself. And different people walk into that step in different ways, and the specifics can only be felt by yourself. ”

"Thank you very much for your teaching." Although in terms of knowledge, Barrett, who lived through that time, actually knew it. But since the Morpheus Knight was willing to explain, he must also be grateful. After all, knowledge is a very valuable asset in this world, and the experience of predecessors cannot be passed on casually.

Don't look at Barrett and Morpheus Knight, just talking casually on deck. But the information of experience just now, except for Barrett himself, the rest of the seafarers could not hear it - the Murphys knight has a unique skill to be able to do such a public occasion without passing on the law.

This kind of skill is quite common among knights, as long as it is an official knight who has been passed down for three generations, it is basically available to everyone. As for other professionals, it depends on the background of the power in which they are located. Many techniques are not so rare, but once they are not made public, people who have no way out will not be able to find them.

"Alright! It's been a morning, and I think you're tired now, too. Speaking of this, the Morpheus knight patted Barrett on the shoulder: "Have a good rest, continue in the afternoon." ”

In this way, Barrett endured the drills of the Morpheus Knight every day for the rest of his life. And the crisp 'sonorous' sound over the 'Iron Curtain Barrier' has become a kind of spice for the seafarers on the way to see other scenes.

I don't know if it was the order of the Morpheus knight or the captain's arrangement. Since the start of training, Barrett has been able to eat a freshly boiled egg every day. You must know that although there are a large number of hens raised on this ship, even if it is a special breed of chickens raised with high technology in reality, it is not guaranteed to lay eggs every day.

Even if the druids had a unique way of breeding, it was the ordinary seamen who took care of the chickens on the frigate. It's simply not possible to get the most out of those birds. Coupled with the fact that there are quite a few officers on the frigate, it is difficult to do it with one manpower. So Barrett's present situation is a special case among the mid-level officers—and of course no one will complain in this matter, because the strength he has shown has convinced everyone.
