    "Shake, shake! Shake, shake! Shake!" Barrett, who was lying in the hammock, was humming a song he didn't know where he heard.  For a while, I really couldn't find anything else to do.  Life on the sea is always boring.  Although there were two or three practice battles with Knight Morpheus every day, it was impossible for both sides to devote all their energy to such things.  Knight Morpheus still has his own duties to perform. Although most of the time he is just pretending during non-combat periods, he still needs to let the crew see his attitude.  And Barrett, who joined temporarily, is now an idle high-level thug.  Apart from daily sparring, there really wasn't any work that required Barrett's participation in these quiet days.  And because he had no experience as a sailor, even if Barrett wanted to take the initiative to help, the officers would immediately politely decline.  These naval officers believed in Barrett's combat effectiveness and believed that his presence could provide considerable guarantee for the safety of the ship in the coming battle.  But they did not believe in Barrett's professionalism in the ship business. In their view, not all warriors who wielded swords could easily learn how to steer and sail.  Fortunately, Barrett is in good shape and quite accepting of this kind of life.  At this time, he was glad that the earl did not agree to come with his companion.  Otherwise, he would definitely be nagging at his head by those female compatriots who were too busy with their work.  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The wooden door of the cabin was knocked, and the sailor who knocked immediately did not push the door in. Instead, he said through the door panel: "Mr. Bolum, Knight Morpheus invites you to go."  Participate in a combat meeting together. "A combat meeting? At this time?" Barrett also had this question in his mind as he got out of bed.  But since it was Knight Morpheus who was summoned, he naturally opened the curtain and rushed to the cabin door without saying a word.  Following the sailor in front of him, Barrett walked back and forth through the corridor in the cabin.  Drilling through door holes one after another, climbing up the stairs to two decks.  Immediately afterwards, the sailor stood outside a hatch with carved patterns. He knocked on the door and said: "Sir, Mr. Boreham has arrived." "Let him in!" Then the door opened.  The voice that came next was actually Captain Caplin's voice. It seemed that this time the other party was the host of the combat meeting.  But considering the current situation, it is quite normal.  The first thing Barrett saw when he pushed the door in was the solid wood square table with a brick-shaped notebook and a scroll.  The chairs next to the dining table are also embedded with calfskin cushions wrapped in cotton mattresses.  Even the deck beneath the feet seemed to be paved with black and white floor tiles, and the entire decoration was completely different from the cabin below.  But upon closer inspection, Barrett discovered that the so-called floor tiles in front of him were canvases painted with square patterns.  As a result, although the decoration level has dropped sharply, it has also dissipated a lot of the original strong hedonistic atmosphere.  Barrett opened the door and entered the cabin and found that in front of him, in addition to Knight Morpheus and Captain Caplin, there were also Master Murphy and Steward Brierley, who rarely left the cabin after boarding the ship.  These people are all responsible for several major aspects of this operation, but his own identity does not match these people.  So when he walked into it and closed the hatch, he immediately said: "Barrett Bolum came to report." Then he walked directly behind Knight Morpheus to act as a background because Barrett knew that this  The qualification to be a spectator this time is a benefit that Knight Morpheus won for himself.  Although his identity helped somewhat, if Knight Morpheus didn't take the initiative to speak, there would still be no chance.  Participating in such conferences is not only a way to gain knowledge from the perspective of Aboriginal people, but it is also a good resume.  So since Knight Morpheus offered help out of good intentions, Barrett would naturally accept his kindness.  "At the beginning of the meeting, we will summarize the information we have obtained previously." Captain Caplin then turned his attention to Master Murphy, "You should have gotten some information related to the upcoming trip from the Jinghai guard!  "Mr. I don't think there is anything inappropriate in using this word to describe it." Master Murphy paused when he said this. "That gentleman did reveal some information during the conversation."  According to the intelligence, our next trip is not optimistic. " "Does it mean that fighting is difficult to avoid? Can't those who block the road be resolved through negotiation like the Jinghai Guards? "As the captain and this operation at sea?  Caplin, who is in charge, is the one who least wants a fight.  Although Bolum had already made the worst plan when he dispatched this fleet, the number of combat reserves was staggering.  But as a leader, Captain Caplin is also unwilling to encounter a challenge.?.  Because that often means losses for the older sailors on the ship.  For the Bolum fleet, the less the better.  Master Murphy said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid it's impossible. After about three days of travel, we will enter an intersection area of ????ocean currents. There used to be a Triton Triton tribe there, but now it is occupied by a group of  Occupied by Nagas who make a living by raiding. ""Were those triton fish defeated by Nagas?" Captain Caplin's expression turned ugly. "If they are still there, we can not only negotiate passage.  It is even possible to trade with them along the way. "Among the many fish-men groups, the triton fish people are relatively easy to communicate with.  These have silver skin, and the color of their lower bodies gradually darkens, eventually turning into silver-blue scales.  He is withdrawn by nature and tends to avoid fighting, making him a rare pacifist in the ocean.  Although these triton fish people often ride dolphins outside their nests, they often become very brave when defending their homes.  But does this have anything to do with the Boreham fleet?  So what if all those triton fish were good at long and short weapons? These three frigates had no intention of going to war with them.  When the time comes, it will just be a courtesy visit and some greeting gifts.  Then further communication issues can be negotiated.  It's a pity that everything came to nothing.  "Naga! That kind of creature is hard to deal with!" Even Knight Morpheus frowned at this time.  The so-called naga is a creature with a slender, snake-like body covered in shimmering scales and a face that is more or less similar to a human.  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 seem to burn with an almost hypnotic spiritual light.  This kind of creature is completely different from that in World of Warcraft. Although these creatures can often only bite with their mouths or whip with their tails physically, the toxins in their fangs may not pose much of a threat.  But it is very different in terms of supernatural abilities, because most adult Nagas have a high level of warlocks, but their spellcasting abilities vary depending on the type.  But even the worst Naga spellcasters often have the ability to use 3rd level arcane spells.  So if we start a war with that Naga tribe, the scene will definitely be very wonderful.  Even Knight Morpheus was unwilling to face such a group of creatures.  At this time, Captain Caplin was still a little unwilling: "Is there really nothing to talk about with those Nagas?" "Uh! Although some Nagas have a more friendly attitude, but the ones in front of me are obviously not." Mo.  Master Fei shook his head: "According to the Jinghai guard, those Nagas were very cruel when they attacked the triton fish people before." Judging from the information provided by a tall fey, those who were eliminated  The Tritonians migrated to that location a year ago when the ocean currents changed course.  The intersection of the two ocean currents brings rich nutrients to the surrounding seawater, nourishing the marine life in this area.  And the triton fish people who migrated there did have a pretty comfortable life.  But occupying such a geomantic treasure land without sufficient strength is like a child holding gold in the busy city.  Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of Nagas to come to the door.  Although the triton fish fought bravely, in the face of absolute strength, they eventually became food for those Nagas.  As for whether the Jinghai guards had conflicts with those Nagas, Master Murphy personally believes that they did.  Otherwise, the Jinghai guard would not have told the fleet this.  "Is it possible that the Jinghai guard was deliberately provoking it? I remember excluding image issues, most water naga are quite friendly." Captain Caplin was still unwilling to give up the last chance of peace.  At this time, Knight Morpheus also said: "I don't think the other party needs to lie about things like this. Even if we are deliberately misled, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack the Naga who lives underwater. Then we will still  It's not about being careful. " "If you really want to avoid it, go around it before reaching that area!" Master Murphy looked at Captain Caplin's expression and made this suggestion.  Captain Caplin lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I'm afraid not! Although the Jinghai Guards are powerful, the truth is the same after all. But Naga is an entire tribe, and who knows how big their hunting range is. Those of us  The frigate is safer, but if there is a problem with the merchant ship in the future, it will be difficult to deal with it. ""It seems that it must be beaten?" Knight Morpheus frowned, "Since it is a tribe, I hope it is there.  There is no Naga Lord! Otherwise it would be better for us to run away decisively. "The Naga Lord is a huge and powerful one.The leader of the Nagas is often worshiped as a god by his Nagas.  The creatures resemble regular naga, although they can grow to 100 feet or more in size and strength.  The Naga Lord has no fixed color. Like a chameleon, it will change the color and shade of the colors on its scales to adapt to the surrounding environment. The head shape is usually that of beautiful women and handsome men.  In the files created by the mages, the Naga Lord is a standard legendary creature.  Although there are quite a few parallel imports among the so-called legendary creature files.  But even so, Knight Morpheus didn't think he could deal with that thing.  "Probably not, otherwise the Jinghai guard before would not be so stable. And the Naga lords like to build their lairs on the ruins of ancient cities. Especially in the center of such places, such as temples, where the ruler's  Beautiful room. It's hard to see in the sea." Master Murphy once again provided some help with his own words.  Knight Morpheus breathed a sigh of relief: "If this is the case, there will still be a fight. Then what is the next step to notify the two sister ships behind so that everyone can be more vigilant?" "I hope that in this battle, we can  Good luck!" Captain Caplin prayed.  After the meeting, Barrett was taken back to his room by Knight Morpheus.  In this small single room with only a desk and a hammock, Knight Morpheus stared at Barrett and asked: "What do you think of the meeting just now?" "This is really not easy to say." Barrett  He scratched his head slightly embarrassed.  Knight Morpheus tapped the table: "What are you afraid of? If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, I will let you come here in vain." "I don't care if I offend anyone! I always feel that Captain Caplin  His performance just now was a little weird." Barrett frowned and expressed what he was thinking.  "Hey! This operation has put too much pressure on him." Knight Morpheus sighed, "Originally, this kind of operation should have sent a more prestigious territorial high-ranking officer to suppress the formation. But the situation on the mainland has made this  I have to keep everything simple. I hope he can turn pressure into motivation! " "I think there are many warlocks who can use acid arrows in the battle with Naga."  Barrett, who was just making soy sauce, could only express some of his own opinions at this time.  Knight Morpheus nodded: "You don't have to worry about this. The frigate has already had a complete set of response plans. But you have to be careful in the next few days. Although you may have to enter the water to fight, remember to go there and don't leave.  The boat is too far." "Then you need to give me the spell of underwater breathing. Although I can swim like a fish, I can't breathe like a fish." Barrett immediately started making wisecracks.  It seems that he intends to use this to break up the heavy topic.  Knight Morpheus patted Barrett heavily on the shoulder: "Stop being such a mouthful. Remember, you must survive! Otherwise, my trip will be boring again." To be continued.
