The churning waves are like the children of the sea, and they are churning and smiling and hitting the side of the boat with the support of their mother. Then they converged into a small whirlpool at the stern of the boat. The two sailboats, swaying under the waves, were now struggling to move south. The white sail was lying on the mast at this time, and the listless appearance was clear at a glance.

Barrett, sitting on a barrel at the bow, swayed freely with the undulations of the deck. As a combatant, Barrett's days on the ship could be described as idle. In the past, he could pass the time with a fishing rod in his hand, but this part of the sea was far away from the fishing grounds, and Barrett didn't want to catch some rotten garbage.

Claudia, who was also basking in the sun on the deck, was not satisfied with the speed at which the ship was moving forward now: "What happened these two days? It's a little too unusual! ”

"The sea is unpredictable, even in the monsoon zone, it's normal to have a few days without wind every once in a while. It's just that the wind is a little light, what's so strange about that. Barrett, who heard the voice coming from behind him, replied without looking back.

Claudia then moved another barrel and sat down: "But if this continues, when will we be able to return to Boreham!" ”

"It's much faster than by land. Now instead of worrying about this, let's care more about the safety of our next trip! Speaking of this, Barrett sighed softly, "In weather like this, the advantages of those rowing sailboats will be strengthened to a certain extent. I don't know if those enemies who are cruising there will take advantage of this opportunity to attack! ”

"Didn't Captain Ramon worry about beating those pirates too hard last time. So much so that when it came time to return home. Is it possible to be too boring? Claudia, who had regained her feet, stepped forward and pressed Barrett's shoulder. How. Barrett: Do you have a different opinion? ”

"Captain Lamond, they've been in a position to be. However, this can only deter some potential attackers. Barrett's forehead crept into wrinkles as he spoke, "And in the last battle between the Silver Sword Brave and the Lady of Passion all the way north, they didn't wipe out all the enemy forces every time. In this way, their information was more or less leaked by the enemy who had repelled them. Therefore, if there is another attack on the southward this time, then the enemy that needs to be faced will never be the same as before. ”

"But with the strength of the Silver Sword Brave and the Lady of Passion, do those pirates really have the ability to pose a threat to them?" Claudia clearly didn't think anything could be done by the pirates who were messing around. On the one hand, the loot that the 'Silver Sword Brave' and the 'Passionate Lady' swaggered and dragged before is already very capable and telling. On the other hand, getting along with those seafarers when she was on the ship also made Claudia understand the strength of these two ships.

As a professional warship. The 'Silver Sword Brave' is the weakest of the seamen, and it is also equivalent to a level 2 warrior. The stormtroopers dedicated to combat are all elite soldiers around level 3-4, and there is also a stormtrooper leader of the hematite rank who is in charge of leading. And because the 'Lady of Passion' is only an armed merchant ship, its overall strength will be relatively weak. But it will never be comparable to the average Chamber of Commerce transport ship.

In addition, both ships are staffed with professional mages and magic users. This allows them to take advantage of pirate raids. Although a decisive force on the battlefield, most of the time it is a hand-to-hand combat professional. However, in a narrow situation where the two sides put in a total of 100 people, the presence of a mage may affect the battle situation.

Therefore, the Navy is a more suitable branch of the army for spellcasters. Since most ship battles are not on a large scale, one or two casters can make a difference in the balance of victory and defeat on such a small battlefield. If it is changed to land, it is really difficult to affect the battle situation without a complete mage regiment. At the same time, the mages are too conspicuous and there is a risk of being targeted by the knights. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

These two days alone are enough for the vast majority of pirates to drink a pot. What's more, the leaders on the Silver Sword Brave and the Lady of Passion are also quite strong. For example, Captain Jody Lamond, who is relatively familiar to players, is a bard who can step into the Black Lead rank (level 11) with just one foot in the door. And Captain Danny Evans as a regular soldier. It is even more certain that he must have stepped into the black lead rank.

It is precisely because of such a strong strength of their own that the 'Silver Sword Brave' and the 'Passionate Lady' were able to overcome obstacles all the way to the north before. And not to mention the North Sea pirates whose strength has been seriously damaged, even those in the south who come to find trouble are just delivering food. That's why Claudia felt that Barrett's worries were a little inexplicable.

"Real pirates are really not a threat. But the enemy under the banner of pirates, I think I'm afraid they are quietly waiting for their chance! After Barrett said this, he subconsciously reached out and touched the ring on his hand. It is precisely because of this one-button costume change that Barrett can sit on the deck in casual clothes and bask in the sun like he is now. It's not like worrying about a surprise attack, and it's too late to put on armor.

At the same time, Captain Jody Lamond's voice suddenly came from behind the two players: "That's right! Those guys who hide their heads and tails are our biggest trouble now. Judging by the way our opponents are doing it, they can do this kind of thing. ”

"Here you are, Mr. Lamond." Barrett immediately left the barrel and rose to greet the captain, lest he think he was being too rude.

Captain Jody Lamond clasped his hands on his chest and said, "I have left all the chores on the ship to the first mate for the time being, and there is nothing to do at the moment. Think of it as recuperating for the next possible attack. ”

"It's a rare leisure time!" Barrett said half-jokingly, and then he turned his head to Claudia: "Now that even Mr. Lamond supports my point of view, you better not be tough." ”

Hearing this, Claudia fell into a brief silence, then she got up and turned to leave: "I'd better go and help Claymatis take care of those children." Small talk on deck is a waste of time. ”

Just like Barrett had feared before. The rocking hull of the ship. Turbid air in the cabin. There is already a single variety of stored food - for young children. Such a journey is truly torture. Even if the experienced Lady Passion provided the children with a liquid diet infused with herbs, it was impossible to avoid the children falling ill on board.

Captain Jody Lamond is clearly used to situations like this. In his many years of sailing, he doesn't know how many child corpses he has seen thrown into the sea. All this has long been unable to cause too many waves in his emotions. Just as Barrett had previously thought, Captain Jody Lamond had arranged a routine response.

But when this was not enough to deal with it completely, he did not make any further moves—it was not cold-blooded, but his duty was to tell himself that this was the best option. And the parents of those children did not make trouble at this time. On the one hand, it is because they have already been mentally prepared for this before the trip. On the other hand, I also understand that the result of making trouble on the ship will only be my own loss.

In other words, if it weren't for the presence of Klematis this time, there might only be 3-4 of the 5 children who set off and finally arrived in Boreham. This is already a good result for a long trip in the game - unless a special passenger boat is used, the child mortality rate will only be higher for such a long sea journey.

But this time, the little guys aboard the Lady Passion were really in luck. Seeing those little hairy children lying in hammocks uncomfortable, Kleimatis was really a little unbearable. So she took the initiative to take on the job of treating and caring for them. Even the most basic prayers can alleviate their symptoms and strengthen their physical resistance. Combined with Klaymatis's good medical care skills, the chances of survival for those children have been greatly improved.

Of course, for Klematis, this is not without its rewards. Although not much experience and prestige have been gained. But find yourself something to do on the sea of idleness that can pass the time and make a profit. That's pretty good for her - as for the full-time therapist on the Lady Passion. With the need to take care of the entire ship, it is impossible for them to put too much energy into these few travelers. After all, this is an armed merchant ship, not a passenger ship whose main business is to transport people.

However, Barrett is still a little worried about Clematis's actions. Because when everything is over, how to get paid for her current job will become a big problem - if the income is high, it will be considered by people to take advantage of the fire, and if the income is low, it will conflict with the faith.

If it were a person, Barrett would certainly like to believe that Kleimatis would not want to be paid. But Clematis is, after all, the pastor of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce! Unpaid labor is absolutely taboo in the church. And if the gain is not proportional to the input, it will also be considered a sign of incompetence. None of these things need to be recorded by the faithful, and the Goddess is always watching her shepherd. So between gaming and personal wishes, Klaimatis is likely to be in a dilemma.

'Forget it! It's also better to be more empathetic than to be cold-blooded. The things on the church side, and I'm trying to make up for it later......' Barrett, who looked at Claudia's back in the distance, thought in his heart. Then he quickly withdrew his gaze and turned the subject to the previous question: "Mr. Lamond, we should be cautious about the threats we may encounter in the future, but we should not worry too much. It will not be easy for those two families to mobilize a sea force sufficient to destroy us. ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy, you kid. Although the sea power of those two families is not as good as that of the Seven Cities Alliance, it is not too difficult to solve us. Captain Jody Lamond was not as optimistic as Barrett.

But just when he was about to popularize the relevant knowledge to Barrett, Barrett spoke again: "If there is strength in this area, I believe it, but do those two families have enough time to mobilize them?" I think that now that their sea forces are being run over by the Seven Cities Alliance Navy, it should not be an overnight thing to reorganize such an offensive! So I think the threat exists, but the likelihood of it actually appearing doesn't seem to be too great. ”

"You kid still has a little knowledge! But there are some things that you laymen don't know much about. Be careful, if you can't dodge it, you'll need to borrow your power! Captain Jody Lamond didn't mean to go any further. After all, in terms of industry news alone, Barrett may not understand. And the other party is inconvenient to disclose.
