    Listening to Lieutenant Badham's narration, Barrett had a general impression of Master Michelang, whom he had never met before. He was a research-type technical geek who was not good at communicating with others.  However, it can be heard from the tone of Lieutenant Badham, who is also an alchemist, that he has great respect for the master alchemist.  Obviously, Master Michelang who refused to accept guests behind closed doors had little reputation in the ears of outsiders, but he was well-known in the industry. Similar situations are also common in the academic field in the real world.  So Barrett wasn't particularly surprised after learning about the situation.  "According to you, since that master has such a profound foundation, what are you still doing during this period of time?" Barrett touched his chin and said angrily, "Is there such a chance?  Don¡¯t you know how to ask for advice? Maybe with just a little bit of advice, the bottleneck that has been bothering you for a long time will be broken. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that Master doesn¡¯t like people to disturb you?¡± Lieutenant Badham looked coy now.  , like a big girl.  Looking at Lieutenant Badham's performance, Barrett shuddered for no reason.  While trembling, he still couldn't help but say: "There are many reasons why you don't like people to disturb you! Maybe the master just doesn't like irrelevant people to influence his research? How will you know if you don't give it a try?  "Will it succeed?" "Is this really the case? If it fails, I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression on the master. Then even if there is a real chance, he will not be able to get help."  The ground moved up and down in front of Barrett.  Hearing this, Barrett finally understood what he was worried about.  Soldiers in the Bolum Territory not only receive military pay, trophies and awards.  At the same time, military merit can also be exchanged for targeted guidance in related professions.  However, this kind of guidance sometimes just gives the applicant an opportunity, and it doesn't matter whether the guidance is done carefully or not.  ¡°The reason why Lieutenant Badham is struggling now is precisely because he is worried about leaving a bad impression on Master Michelang if he visits later.  If you are not successful in asking for advice now, it will also affect future guidance.  That would really be a waste of money.  This is also the main reason why Master Michelang has been on the ship for so long, but he has never dared to take any action.  ¡®This guy¡¯s indecisive style is quite similar to yours!  ¡¯ At this moment, a voice suddenly popped up in Barrett¡¯s head.  You don't have to think twice to know that it's 'Georgie' who's teasing.  Barrett feels the same way, but in the face of the unscrupulous half-body, he may be able to show weakness: "That was forced by the original environment. I have improved a lot in the game now" "Yes!"  yes!  It has improved a lot' Although the content was like this, the emotional fluctuations obviously made Barrett grind his teeth.  Then he immediately turned his attention back to Lieutenant Badham to avoid being pissed off by his own half.  "Badham, don't hang around in front of people all the time." After saying this, Barrett stretched out his hand and held the other person's shoulder. "You can think about it quietly whether you want to go or not! By the way, I have some news for you.  The master's apprentice was killed on the deck just by Naga's fireball technique." Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Badham's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stuttered slightly: "You, you mean Michelangelo.  The master is short of manpower now? " "No! I didn't say that, but he should be a little uncomfortable after the death of a familiar apprentice!" Barrett didn't think that the master of alchemy would be affected by the death of an apprentice.  And affect mood.  Judging from the situation at that time, the apprentice with little strength went on the deck to throw potions, which was somewhat like a death squad.  However, judging from the overall situation in the Western Continent, such examples are the norm. Every year, countless apprentices die in various experiments conducted by their mentors.  They are students, assistants, servants and guinea pigs for verification.  However, even if you have no feelings for the kind of apprentice who can be abandoned at any time, the sudden death of a long-term servant will cause inconvenience. The space on the frigate is limited, and even as Master Michelang, it is impossible to bring too many  Many people are accompanying them.  So this naturally gave an alchemist who was in a bottleneck period an opportunity to take advantage of.  Of course, opportunities are just opportunities. Whether Lieutenant Badham can seize it is another matter.  After continuing to struggle for a while.  Lieutenant Badham's eyes finally became sharper: "Then I'll give it a try. Anyway, there are not many opportunities like this, so it's worth taking a risk." In the next few days, Lieutenant Badham would try again.  There was no leisure as before, and the number one boaster and spanker in the official cabin had just left everyone's sight as if he had disappeared.  Ibrahimovic, who still has a bandage on his hand, is very worried about this situation.??Adaptation: "What happened to Badham these days? Did he accidentally fall into the sea when it was convenient?" "Can't you just say a nice word?" A cable sailer was playing cards on the long table.  Shi immediately turned his head and said something back to Ibrahimovic.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of the long time at sea that a large number of sailors have become quite superstitious.  Although Ibrahimovic, this careless guy, was talking about Lieutenant Badham, he seemed to have violated the taboo of the man in front of him.  Ibrahimovic replied indifferently: "Isn't it just a joke? Even though Badham guy has not been seen these days!" "He has his own things to be busy with now! He can be busy in a short time  I don¡¯t have time to brag with you anymore.¡± Barrett was lying on the hammock as the ship swayed.  Ibrahimovic scratched his head: "Is there something I need to be busy with? There shouldn't be any work on the ship that requires him to be responsible for now, right? Those construction tasks are still very early in the cycle." "He has something to do and he didn't say it was official business. He is busy improving himself now.  !" After saying this, Barrett finally raised his head, "Also, Ibrahimovic, your arm is already healed. Why are you still wearing a bandage? " "You said?  This?" Ibrahimovic raised his left hand, "I think it feels very comfortable to wear this, and it's not easy to slip when holding the knife" "I didn't expect that a thick guy like you would have that kind of habit.  . I really misjudged you." As he spoke, Barrett covered his eyes and lay back in the hammock.  As soon as the words were finished, there was a sound of seats colliding. The officers who were playing cards on the long table just now abandoned the entertainment at hand, and all crowded to the other end of the table to distance themselves from Ibrahimovic.  .  "You guys don't believe it" Ibrahimovic, who was clenching his fists, seemed to want to rush forward to give Barrett a good look, but considering the strength gap between the two sides, he had no choice but to start to remove the bandages on his hands.  The overall conditions of the three frigates "Silver Sword Hero", "Mithril Core" and "Iron Curtain Barrier" are not much different. They all had damage that needed to be repaired in the previous conflict with Naga.  After communicating with several people on board, they anchored and rested while negotiating with Naga.  It has been a while since I left Boreham. The long time at sea and the successive incidents are enough to make most sailors nervous.  Finding an opportunity to loosen their strings at this time can still play a big role.  The negotiation took place on the sea not far from the fleet. Every morning and evening, Steward Brierley, who was blessed with the art of glib, would communicate with Naga representatives there. These Naga leaders seemed unwilling to themselves.  I don't know if I am afraid of being attacked or embarrassed when I come forward.  But even though we had achieved considerable advantages in the previous battles, this negotiation was not easy either.  Because Bolum Territory is so far away from this sea area, these marine creatures have never heard of its majesty.  With the situation beyond reach, it is impossible to completely surrender these Nagas.  Even if they cannot be defeated, if these Nagas really decide to disperse and move, there will still be a considerable number of Morpheus Knights who can escape the disaster. They have completely seized the window period before the opponent can react, otherwise the effect will never be so good.  .  Although the dispersion and transfer is definitely a heavy blow to a Naga tribe.  But as long as those naga are still alive, there is always hope for the tribe to rebuild.  Therefore, if Brierley's management requirements are too harsh, those Nagas may not give up this rich sea area and choose to escape. In that case, all the original plans will come to nothing.  Fortunately, Manager Brierley also knew the tasks he shouldered, and after the high-pressure negotiations at the beginning, he chose Huairou.  The two parties are going through every clause of the cooperation agreement one by one.  Even though it was still winter and the wind on the sea was chilling people, Steward Brierley was still sweating profusely when he came back every day.  Obviously, the communication with those Nagas consumed a lot of his brain cells.  But after all, the fleet occupies a huge advantage in strength.  After losing everything on the battlefield, those Nagas couldn't get anything decent back from the negotiation table.  In the end, the Nagas and the merchant ships of the Bolum Territory passed through their control and provided shouting to a certain extent.  But in contrast, each merchant ship had to drop 500 pounds of bacon as toll each time.  And conduct sea-6 trade at least once a year.  Such a price adjustment is acceptable to both parties.  For Boreham Territory, a stable channel is needed.  With the protection of these Nagas, unless there is an attack by legendary monsters in this sea area, there will generally be no problems.  As for 5oo pounds of bacon?  Compared with the profits brought by the ocean trade route, this loss is not worth mentioning at all.    For Naga, the ultimate goal of ensuring her independence has been achieved.  Each of the remaining merchant ships' 500 pounds of bacon each time and the annual sea trade are just tacks. And with such tacks, unilateral coercion becomes an unequal transaction.  It is easy for the main war faction among the ethnic groups to die down.  As the negotiations reached a consensus, a spell agreement was signed between the two parties.  Then the Bolum fleet, which had originally stopped for rest, unmoored its anchor and set sail again. As the big winch on the bow slowly rotated under the push of wavers, the heavy rope hanging the huge anchor was pulled out of the water one foot at a time.  The sails that had been lowered were re-unfolded and became bulging under the influence of the sea breeze.  The fleet heading south again said goodbye to Naga, whom they had never met before, and continued to explore the fog and shadows on the sea map.  The logbook on Captain Caplin's desk is getting longer and longer, and the plotting officer and navigator have new discoveries and tasks every day.  However, I don¡¯t know if it was due to luck accumulated from previous encounters, but there were no accidents during the miserable voyage that followed.  "However, Barrett heard his own explanation from Master Murphy. There are not many nutrients in this sea area and there are few fish. It is simply unable to support a colony of large or medium-sized creatures.  Since there aren't even anyone looking for trouble, it's just a smooth journey.  We will make up for it later.
