Chapter 113: 'Fame'

Five days were fast approaching, and Barrett, who had arrived at the docks, was immediately led to a frigate by the garrison soldiers who had been notified after showing his identification. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info stepped on the pedal for a few steps before jumping onto the deck Barrett, and suddenly spotted a figure that he was barely familiar with: "Morpheus Knight!" ”

"Barrett! I didn't expect you to participate in this operation? Hearing this, the Morpheus Knight turned his head, and he looked at Barrett with a little playfulness: "It stands to reason that the original travel list has already been drawn up. This kind of sudden addition is rare. ”

"That's not what I thought, the family side has a reason to let me come anyway." Barrett's expression was a little ugly as he said this.

"Why do you have to come?" The Morpheus Knight looked at Barrett with his hands on his chest, and then he seemed to have discovered something: "It turns out that he is about to advance to Black Lead." I'm not a knight, but I'm commendable at your age. Have you chosen your path? ”

Barrett was silent for a moment, then touched the bridge of his nose and said, "I chose the 'Blade of Order', so this operation had to be involved. ”

"I see, those old men above are not easy to deal with! You're going to be busy in the future. The smile on the face of the Morpheus Knight as he said this, how Barrett looked at it and felt really gloating.

Hearing this, you know that the Morpheus Knight in front of you is more or less aware of the doorways behind the 'Blade of Order' route. It can be seen that the direction of the family's precautions in this regard seems to be just a group of ordinary people who listen to the wind and rain. For their own people who really have a heritage, they don't hide too much.

'Fortunately, it's half of my body, so I'm afraid it will be as Morpheus Knight said.' Of course, this kind of thing is a secret that cannot be said, just keep it in your heart and enjoy it. It shows that Upper Barrett still said with a little helplessness: "This is the price to pay for gaining power." It's all worth it, though. ’

"It's best if you can think like that." As he spoke, the Morpheus knight took a step forward, and came to Barrett as if he was shrinking to the ground and grabbed his shoulders: "You kid has been out for almost a year this time!" The days at sea are so long, just let me see how much progress you have made. ”

"Morpheus Knight, are you looking for someone to relieve your boredom?" Barrett, who was immobilized by the opponent's iron arm, showed a grinning expression.

And the Morpheus knight immediately reached out and rubbed the head of the big man who was taller than himself: "You kid is obedient." Don't forget that I was more or less your mentor in the first place. ”

"Understood, I'll cooperate." Now that the other party has taken out that identity, Barrett naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Morpheus Knight! The ship is about to leave the port, so please go to the cabin at once. At this moment, such a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. Turning his head, he saw a well-dressed man, shouting from the stern deck down here.

"That's it! Captain Kaplin. Knight Morpheus let go of the iron arm that held Barrett's shoulders in place, and then turned to greet the frigate's supreme commander.

Although in terms of the status of the local government system of the two sides in Boreham, the Murphys Knight is definitely superior to Captain Caplin. But when it comes to operations and navigation at sea, the other side is the real expert. Listen to the opinions of experts in professional matters, rather than relying on their position to ask for privileges. This is the performance of a person who is truly responsible.

Before Barrett and Knight Morpheus could enter the aisle of the cabin, two pre-arranged sailors came to show them the way. However, at the first corner of the corridor, the Morpheus Knight was led away from Barrett. Barrett, on the other hand, followed the sailor all the way down to the middle deck.

Then he stopped in front of a wooden door: "This gentleman, this is the shared cabin you will share with those superiors in the future." ”

"Thank you." Barrett nodded and was about to push the door in, and then the sailor said, "If you don't remember the way next time, just ask any sailor and tell you to go to the lieutenant's cabin." ”

"Okay, I see!" Barrett reached out and patted the other man on the shoulder before pushing the door in. Barrett was greeted by the wide, long table in the backbone of the cabin, and the chairs half-fixed to the deck.

But what really caught Barrett's attention at this time was the dark iron guys behind the folded curtains. The so-called official cabin turned out to be arranged on the artillery deck on the middle level. The special hammock hanging between the cannons is your private space. At the same time, the small hall in the center is only isolated by curtains, and it seems that there is no privacy at all.

Sure enough, the standard of living on a warship cannot be compared with that on a passenger ship. Of course, compared to a cargo ship, the smell is better. Seeing this, Barrett immediately made his own judgment.

After all, this is already a cabin owned by middle- and high-ranking officers with better salaries. In contrast, ordinary sailors can only find their own place to lay canvas hammocks in those ownerless cabins.

Perhaps because the ship went to sea, there were only a few people in the official cabin in front of him. After seeing Barrett's face, one of them, the big man with dark fluff on his arms, suddenly said in a rough voice: "There's another new here, and it seems that everyone's life will be very difficult this time." ”

"Just say a few words! The adults above sent people over just to prevent accidents. There may not be any danger. At this time, another officer beside him immediately punched this guy in the back: "This guy is the original storm trooper, just like his position, he often speaks without going through his brain. ”

"Not necessarily! Originally, the Morpheus Knight was here to suppress the formation, but in fact, he may not really need to do it. But now, even the holders of 'Broken Peak', who are quite famous in the territory, have suddenly joined. I'm afraid Captain Ibrahimovic will be close to the truth. It was then that a voice suddenly came from between the cannons.

Barrett then cast his gaze on the corner, only to find a good-looking man leaning his back against the cannon. I think the voice just now must have been made by him.

Barrett, who couldn't find this one in his memory, asked, "May I ask this gentleman, have we met before?" ”

"I've seen you, but you haven't seen me. As one of the best of the younger generation of the Earl's family, I think Mr. Boram is still known to many people for your appearance. The handsome man stood up, and Barrett realized that the ratio of the other man's arms to his body seemed to be slightly longer than the average person.

'Huh! The person in front of me seems to be very suitable for some special tactics! Like a bayonet or a ......' Seeing that unique figure, Barrett's mind immediately wandered away. However, with years of experience, he managed to retract the messy idea.

Then he scratched the back of his head: "Am I so famous again?" I can't remember doing anything that would have made so many people know! ”

"You're standing from a different angle, and maybe you don't think there's anything big about it. But for most of us, it's actually a long for that experience. The long-armed young man who said this turned his head to look at the two beside him: "They may not know you, but they have heard of your deeds. ”

"Mr. Boram, I heard about your adventures in the tavern." The big man with a lot of body hair didn't look good, "I'd be glad I met you somewhere else." But at such times, it really makes people laugh. ”

Even the man who had just reprimanded the stormtrooper captain had a smile that stiffened a little at the moment: "Anyway, since the Earl has even discharged this gentleman. This proves that this operation is very serious. That being the case, we should be well prepared for most situations. ”

Looking at the emotional changes of the three in front of him, Barrett's heart felt as if he had been trampled by a hundred alpacas. He really didn't expect that his sudden addition would have such a big impact on the other party. What's more, he couldn't figure it out, since there was a Morpheus knight pressing the formation, it didn't really make much sense for him to come here or not!

In fact, Barrett became much more famous than he had previously thought - and of course it was due to the publicity of the bards associated with the Boreham family. Such propaganda is indispensable for any regime - society is complex, people are blind, and sometimes setting an example is not trivial.

But sometimes good things can turn bad. Just like the scene in front of them, although they didn't know that the Morpheus Knight was far stronger than Barrett, they were still instinctively worried after the sudden addition of high-level combat power. Of course, this fear is not unreasonable - the more strong men, the more likely the task will be completed, but this is often a sign that the battle will become more intense.

The Morpheus knights may be able to keep the whole operation running smoothly, and Barrett will be able to strengthen the safety of the ship to some extent. But for individual officers, they may feel that their safety is becoming more and more insecure. Of course, since they have chosen this job, they have naturally been mentally prepared. But when it comes to the end, there will still be some worries - this is also human nature.

"Don't worry! I'm involved for a special reason, not because I need to add any combat power to the fleet. You don't have to worry so much. Barrett smiled at this, "And you all know my name." But apart from Captain Ibrahimovic, neither of them introduced themselves? ”

"I'm Captain Badham on the ship. That's why it's time to stay in the cabin and be lazy. The middle-aged man who had just organized the Ibrahimovic Stormtrooper to 'talk nonsense' said.

Ships departing and entering ports are often the busiest times for seafarers. However, the lieutenant, who was in charge of the management of artillery fire, was not burdened at such times. In fact, except in battles or storms, this full-time artillery expert can always find plenty of time to rest.

Immediately afterwards, the long-armed young man also said, "I was originally a guard in the Boreham trading house. This time he came to the ship with the chief steward. ”

Although the young man's introduction was so simple, Barrett didn't dare to see the other party as an ordinary guard. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to live in the officer's cabin - you must know that the rank above the ship is very distinct, and even the captain must keep a certain distance from the mid-level officers to maintain his majesty. Even sometimes being uninhibited is a must.

Fortunately, as several people made further contact, Barrett knew that the guard in front of him, Yitzhak, was a wandering swordsman with good strength. In the case of the members of the 'Bloodstained Grey' team, not everyone has a chance to win him. Of course, more important than strength is that he is proficient in a variety of etiquette. is a bodyguard who can bring into high society gatherings. That's why he participated in this operation and had a place in the cabin.

As the copper plate wrapped around the teak pushed away the white waves, the frigate Barrett was on finally set out on its own journey. With the salty sea breeze, Barrett, who stayed in the cabin, looked bored at the ceiling that had been coated with upper layers of slurry. Fortunately, when the boat was smooth, he was finally able to walk freely.

However, there are still a number of areas on the frigate that Barrett is off-limits to enter. It's not that you don't believe him, but because there are some critical devices in some areas. If you accidentally bump into it, it may cause unnecessary trouble when you use it in the future. In order to minimize the risk, no one is allowed to enter unless they are professionals.

Meanwhile, Barrett soon met Morpheus Knight again on the upper deck. From the other side's mouth, Barrett learned that he was placed in a separate cabin in the stern. It's small, but it's much better lit and ventilated than Barrett's mid-deck officer's cabin. Of course, considering the strength and status of the Morpheus Knight, it is understandable to obtain such a wait.

In fact, in addition to him, a powerful military mage in this operation also had the treatment of a separate cabin. Instead, the three priests were also crammed into a cabin specially allocated for them. However, this is mainly due to the fact that the bronze-ranked mage is much stronger than the remaining priests. It is not occupational discrimination. (To be continued.) )
