"I've heard a few things, that this spirit doesn't allow people to pollute the sea...... "Barrett, who had knowledge of the subject, continued as Captain Caplin began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Normally, after the 'Jinghai Guardian' has stopped the sailing ship, it will allow the crew to turn around and return to the sea. Even crew members can negotiate if they want to – as long as they make sure to sail carefully and not dump trash into the sea or kill more marine life than they can eat. Then we will be able to get permission from the 'Jinghai Guardians' to let them pass safely.

To put it bluntly, this creature is not very friendly to ships, but he is still reasonable most of the time. Only if the intruder attacks without saying a word will the 'Jinghai Guardians' be furious.

But then Captain Caplin interrupted Barrett's remarks: "The young man knows a lot, but it is not as simple as it is written in the books. Otherwise, the prestige of the 'Jinghai Guardian' would not have been passed down for so many years......"

According to Captain Kaplin, it was not difficult to reach a preliminary agreement with the 'Jinghai Guardian', but the subsequent implementation process was a considerable test. Because if the Guardians of the Sea were suspicious of a crew's commitment to the courteous use of the gifts of the sea, they would keep a watch on the ship for miles - and while many captains have tried to convince the Guardians of the Sea to tell their territory, these shrewd sea dwellers have always kept silent in order to observe and punish those who 'do bad things'.

In fact, the killing of marine life is a good solution, after all, it is often merchant ships rather than fishing boats that penetrate the waters in this era. Most of the fish or two that seafarers occasionally catch are used for tooth sacrifices, and it is unlikely that there will be a problem of waste - although at the end of the voyage, the use of fresh fish to seduce the rubber worms in the bread has become a matter of prohibition. As disgusting as those maggots are, they are much easier to bear than life-threatening.

It's too much of a test to not be allowed to throw out garbage. If nothing else, dealing with the excrement alone is a big problem. If the large and small trumpets have to hold back, it will be a big test for the entire crew - especially when it is difficult to know the exact scope of the territory of the 'Jinghai Guardian', it is a thing that makes everyone scratch their heads.

But even the most difficult part of the voyage is not so unbearable when compared with the expected possible gains. Therefore, if you can reach any agreement with the 'Jinghai Guardian' in front of you, no matter how much trouble you have on the voyage in the future, it will be acceptable.

Of course, this time the work cannot be left to a few seafarers to negotiate, as was the case just now. Mage Murphy, who had already set up a protective spell on the stern, flew towards the huge 'Jinghai Guardian' in the air at this time. Then the two sides began to communicate in the elven language that Barrett had worked hard to listen to—'Jinghai Guardian' was indeed the lingua franca of the mainland, but the lingua franca of the mainland in front of him was the ancient language of the previous period. It's not as convenient to communicate now as it is to use Elfish language.

Elvish has been useless for too long, and it seems that when you have time, you need to review it. After pricking up his ears and only understanding a few scattered fragments, Barrett secretly put the matter on the agenda in his heart.

At the same time, Captain Kaplin also turned and ordered the sailors on the side: "Lower the sails, I don't want anything to cause misunderstanding at this time." ”

In this way, those seafarers used a new type of rope handling equipment to turn the white sail, which had already been full of wind, into a 'deflated ball'. However, they didn't just put the sails away, because doing that would have wasted a lot of time when they re-deployed.

However, in this way, although the frigate will not move at full speed, it will still move with the wind. Fortunately, the helmsman of the 'Iron Curtain Barrier' was highly skilled, and under his control, the 'Iron Curtain Barrier' circled around the 'Jinghai Guardian' for a small half circle, and did not rampage in the opponent's country. The remaining 'Silver Sword Warrior' and Mithril Core did the same, and finally didn't cause trouble to Mage Murphy, who was negotiating with the 'Jinghai Guardian'.

On the other side, two creatures with completely different values and worldviews are arguing about contradictory issues. Although both sides speak quickly, there is much more to communicate and negotiate. So much so that the conversation between Master Murphy and the 'Jinghai Guardian' went on for a long time.

However, none of the middle and high-level people on the deck left. Their attention was all focused on the huge creature in front of them - it would be best if they could reach a consensus, but if the other side refused to pass, the three frigates would have to turn around and open up new trade routes!

As for the battle, none of the people present thought about it. The 'Jinghai Guardian' is a creature that not only has its own combat skills that are not inferior to many high-level kitchen knives, but also can use the spell-like abilities of the '9' ring. Coupled with the fact that its own skin is super thick, it is not so easy to solve at a glance.

What's more, the ocean is the opponent's home turf, and he was born to destroy the structure of the ship, even if it can carry a large oarship of more than 200 people, it has a chance to kill in one hit. Even if Bolim's frigates were bigger and stronger than those oars, they wouldn't be able to fall well if they took a few more hits.

At the same time, the Celestial Whale that obediently stayed by the side of the 'Jinghai Guardian' also looked like its companion. In this case, although the Boreham fleet has the strength to defeat the opponent, it is not easy to kill it.

And as long as the other party accidentally escapes after the war, then don't talk about these three frigates. At that time, all the ships of Bolem will probably not be able to live in peace at sea. If the 'Jinghai Guardians' really want to fight guerrilla warfare with people wholeheartedly, unless they dispatch legendary combat forces and use the prophecy of positioning and fixed-point killing. Otherwise, I really can't come up with any good solutions.

And the high-end combat power of the legend is not something that can be used just by using it. They are the most important balance weight in the Western Continent, and ordinary people may not be able to entrust them even if they pay a big price. Even Boreham Territory, which is legendary in its own right, will not allow it to act freely (go abroad) for political reasons.

As long as you think about the cost performance a little, you can understand that if there is no possibility of winning a single blow, a conflict with the 'Jinghai Guardian' is the worst situation. Therefore, it is better to waste the route of exploration that has been drawn before, and it is necessary to choose a peaceful solution.

After a long exchange, Barrett could even see the relieved expression on Master Murphy's face. Then he turned back with a smile on his face.

The elder, who already had visible wrinkles on his face, re-stepped onto the deck and said, "This time he allowed the passage of three of our ships, provided that we followed their usual rules. As for the merchant ships after the demarcation of the shipping lane, it depends on our performance this time and the follow-up agreement. ”

"Thank you very much Master Murphy for your efforts, this time we were able to pass through here, all thanks to you." Captain Caplin bowed his head and took Murphy's hands.

As if he couldn't stand Captain Caplin's enthusiasm, Mage Murphy reluctantly pulled out his palm: "In fact, the most suitable person to communicate with the 'Jinghai Guardian' is the druid, especially the aquatic druid. ”

"If it's going to be before we go home, I'm afraid it's too late." Captain Kaplin immediately frowned when he heard this, "I don't think it will be possible to recruit a trustworthy druid within the Tutkel Business Republic. Not to mention an aquatic druid. ”

And Mage Murphy turned to look at the huge 'Jinghai Guardian': "If you can convince him that certain actions are harmless to the sea, the next route construction will be much easier." ”

"If you want to convince a 'Jinghai Guardian', the average druid may not have this ability. At the very least, you need to find a Grand Druid above the Black Lead rank. The Morpheus Knight spoke at this time. And Barrett, who was on the side, had no way to interject at such a critical moment because of his identity, so he could only stare dryly on the side.

When he was chatting before, he still had some room to speak. But on this key issue related to the success or failure of the next operation, Barrett, a hairless guy. He was naturally excluded from the discussants - although he was not deprived of the right to observe, but he was destined to lose the right to speak.

Master Murphy nodded: "At least that's the case, it would be better if I could find a Bronze-rank Druid Elder." However, the news of this is still transmitted back to the territory, let the Earl judge it! ”

"That's right! It's been so long before we're back in the realm, and the Earl will be able to arrange it. Captain Kaplin chimed in - the two of them worked together to get rid of the pot.

But even so, the Morpheus Knight didn't feel anything wrong. Because in this matter, apart from leaving it up to the Earl to figure it out himself, the personnel of this fleet really couldn't find a way out - of course, one of the very important reasons for this is that the relationship between the Boreham family and the elves and the druids has always been good.

Having lifted the first crisis since sailing into the ocean, the Silver Sword Brave, Mithril Core, and Iron Curtain Barrier, which had been temporarily granted the right of way, continued southward. However, in order to prevent any unlucky person from becoming the target of punishment by the 'Jinghai Guardians', for most of the next half day, all the personnel on the three frigates became cautious - even some physical needs were forced.

But when the sun reflected the glittering golden scales on the sea level, the original blue dome seemed to be covered with makeup, and even the clouds in the sky were reflected in orange and red. The three frigates, which had advanced a full 40 to 50 nautical miles, finally lifted the alarm -- according to the records, the 'Jinghai Guardian', which had the largest territorial scope in the past, did not have such a scale in its jurisdiction.

Barrett, who had completed his training as usual, returned to the cabin, and Captain Bardham, who had returned here earlier than him, immediately greeted Barrett: "It's really dangerous today!" If we really fight that big guy, we don't know how many people will die on this ship! Ibuko, in particular, is too dangerous. ”

"Badham, don't talk about it again." As the leader of the stormtrooper, Ibu didn't have much energy at this time: "I'll tell you the truth!" If we really fight with that 'Jinghai Guardian', we marines won't have anything to do at all. ”

"Nothing to do with your Marines? It's impossible for me to command people to bombard with artillery! Lieutenant Badham asked in disbelief: "Although that guy is very large, he may not have a high hit rate if he dodges in the water." ”

In fact, let alone diving underwater, even if you want to attack the 'Jinghai Guardian' with your upper body exposed by long-range means after the war, it is not an easy task. That kind of spirit can use spells like cloud mist, hidden mist, acid mist, etc. At that time, it will be covered by a continuous dense fog, and even if it is covered by artillery, it may not be able to hit the people (fine).

"Let Mr. Boram answer you! He should know the plan for that kind of big guy! Seeing that his friend didn't believe his claim, Ibrahimovic immediately pulled Barrett in.

Barrett, who looked at the two pairs of eyes, knew that he couldn't dodge: "Generally speaking, if you want to deal with that kind of powerful creature, you will organize elite personnel to go and strangle them." Ordinary soldiers are mostly useless. Sometimes it can be a burden. ”

"In other words, Ibrahimovic was just admitting that he didn't belong to the elite." Lieutenant Badham, who grasped the key message in Barrett's words, immediately made fun of his friend.

"If you say no, it's not! Anyway, this kind of evaluation of the elite depends on who it compares with. Ibrahimovic himself didn't mind that.

It really made Captain Badham feel like he had punched the cotton. He had to shift his goal: "So Mr. Boram, if there was a conflict with the 'Jinghai Guardians' just now, would you be involved?" ”

"I don't know about that. Personally, I think I'm quite suitable for water warfare, but whether I participate or not depends on the opinion of the Morpheus Knight. Barrett, who was afraid that he would offend people with something to say, immediately kicked the ball.

Lieutenant Bardem nodded: "That's right, with that big man here, don't you have to listen to him!" ”

"Anyway, why didn't you see the people of Yitzhak! Didn't he stay in the cabin at this time? Barrett, who was worried that the others would continue to focus on him, immediately tried to change the subject.

Hearing this, Ibu was the first to speak: "That kid Yitzhak is now going to take care of his employer." It seems that today's 'Jinghai Guardian' has put a lot of pressure on that person. (To be continued.) )
