Reborn As a Pirate

　　Yangchun in April, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

　　 Lorraine was standing in the Yinyin Meadow in front of the manor with a sword in his hand.

　　 He was wearing a white shirt made of cardboard, with a black waistcoat on the outside, and breeches underneath. The breeches were covered with pure white riding boots and he wore gold-rimmed gloves on his hands.

　　He stood upright and looked serious. The left hand is back on the waist, and the right hand is forward holding the stabbing sword high.

　　 The thin and long sword body coincides with the center axis of the body, and the tip of the sword just covers the center of the eyebrows.

　　 Bright handguards arc facing the opponent, and the fist clenching the hilt is closed in front of the chest, so that the fingertips that are slightly whitish due to the force can be hidden.

　　 This is a fencing lesson.

　　His teacher and opponent were the middle-aged gentleman with a beautiful moustache on the opposite side, and his father in this life, Baron Elijah Drake.

　　 Lorraine nodded slightly to Eliya.

　　 Eliya raised his sword in return, saying: "Don't keep your hands, I am different from the mediocrities of the sea school."

　　 "Yes, father."

　　 answered softly, Lorraine suddenly took out his sword.

　　 He stepped heavily on the ground, stabbing his opponent's throat with his stabbing sword with his head up like a poisonous snake.

　　 Eliya lightly put away the sword, stepped on the side to spin around to Lorraine, and flicked his hand.

　　 The target of this sword was Lorraine's arm, and Lorraine had to turn around and retract the sword, block it, and counterattack.

　　 Eliya took a step back immediately.

When 　　 retreated and entered, not only did he avoid Lorraine's second sword, but it also rose suddenly like a spring, and the tip of the sword pierced Lorraine's eyebrows.

So fast!

　　 Lorraine was surprised.

　　 At the moment of crisis, he opened his neck sideways, letting the gale brush his cheeks, and at the same time raised his elbow to prop up Elia's arm.

　　 This is not a fencing action at all.

　　 Unprepared Elia's middle door opened wide, and Lorraine took advantage of the situation to bully him, and sweeping the floor was a side kick.

　　嘭!

　　 The shin bones of the two slammed into each other, and they broke apart at the touch of a touch.

　　 Lorraine hopped to the ground, and immediately recoiled. Just before the sword was about to be taken out, Elia suddenly said, "That's it."

　　 Lorraine was so risky that he didn't stop the car...

　　 He stopped in embarrassment and took a few breaths. Then he stood up straight, raised his sword, and nodded to Elia as he did at the beginning.

　　 The servants came up, offered towels, and took their swords.

　　 Elijah wiped the thin beads of sweat on her forehead, and said dissatisfied: "Lorraine, you are absent-minded."

　　 "I'm thinking about Mr. Henry's declaration."

　　 "Mr. Henry? That self-righteous hillbilly in the New World?"

　　 "I will not be free or die, the hillbilly can't say such a thing." Lorraine smiled wryly, "North America is ready to bleed, but you can listen to you, but England has no similar awareness."

　　 "Because they are not worthy of being an opponent."

　　 Elijah gave a disdainful smile, and pointed to the umbrella not far away: "Go, Helena is waiting for you."

　　 Lorraine followed Elia's arm to look and saw a lady in a blue dress standing under the umbrella.

　　 She has the same black curly hair and brown eyes as Lorraine, and she has a gentle look, beckoning to Lorraine gently.

　　 Her name is Helena, Helena Annason, the biological mother of Lorraine's life, a Viking, and a pagan who believes in ancestors.

She is a descendant of the Icelandic conqueror Inge Arnaxon. She was originally a fisherman in Iceland. Later, she met and fell in love with Eliya at sea. She moved bravely to England and became the [most unpopular barbaric] in the aristocracy. people】.

　　 England’s nobles are very unkind to Helena, who is unwilling to give up their ancestral beliefs. Even if she has been loyal to Eliya for seventeen years, no one is willing to preside over their wedding.

　　 So legally speaking, Lorraine is still an illegitimate child, a peculiar illegitimate child who is loved by his family and has never been wronged because of his identity.

　　 Lorraine admired Helena's courage to pursue love, and also admired Eliya's generosity to her lover.

　　 As a devout Puritan, he not only accepted Helena's ancestors, but also allowed Lorraine to follow Helena's faith. He was not baptized or religious, and even the middle name was inherited from his mother's surname, and he was dignified as a pagan.

　　 If this is not love, is there still love in the world?

　　 Lorraine walked up to meet him quickly and took Helena's arm.

"Mother."

　　 "I saw you fouled just now." Helena nodded Lorraine's forehead, "What a slippery head."

　　 "It's a pity that it's not thorough enough." Lorraine shrugged, "If he can only take his father's arm and swipe that foot out, he will surely be swept down."

　　 "Even if a real gentleman breaks his leg, he won't let himself fall in front of a beautiful lady."

　　 Elia walked up with her mouth in, took Helena from Lorraine, and asked with concern: "How did you come out? Don't forget that you are coughing. It is not suitable for blowing hair now."

　　 "My husband and son are going to sea." Helena coughed slightly, "It's just a little cough, it's not worth wasting my time with them."

　　 For a while, the servants arranged tea under the umbrella.

　　 The three of them sat leaning on the round table. Helena took off her gloves and asked softly, "What were you talking about?"

　　 "Lorraine felt that the hillbillies of the New World would start a war, and worried that I was not prepared enough."

　　 "War?" Helena frowned. "At this time?"

"Don't worry about me, Helena." Elijah patted Helena's hand. "Baltimore has only fishing boats, but the Lion is the latest Tier 3 ship. Facing seventy-four large-caliber cannons, all those who resist The ending is destined."

　　 "But they have a long coastline, but you can't leave your defense zone, or even open fire at will." Lorraine absently added milk to his black tea, "Father, I want to quit school."

　　 "Drop out of school?"

　　 Lorraine’s sudden attack made Elia and Helena a little unprepared.

　　 Elia frowned deeply: "I know you want to serve on the Lion earlier. But if you quit school now, you have to start as a sailor, and spend three years for one year..."

"I can be the captain directly." Lorraine interrupted Elijah without looking at the surprise on his face. "I hope you can give me Francis' private copy and lend me another three thousand...no, one Thousand pounds. At most three years, I will take the fleet to the New World, which can make up for your shortcomings and make a profit for the family."

　　 "You want to be a businessman?" Elijah was incredulous, his face flushed with anger, "Drake's descendants actually want to be a businessman?"

　　 "Uncle Fran and Uncle Mitia are businessmen in the family, and even Francis Drake was a privateer when he was young..."

　　 "Francis was not a nobleman when he was a privateer, and Fran and Mithia...they were abandoned sons!"

　　 "Nominal abandoned son." Lorraine put down the milk jug, UU read www.uukānshu.com sat upright, "Father, you and your brother need an excellent privateer fleet as a tactical supplement. After the New World war..."

　　 "This is not something you should consider!" Elijah stood up fiercely, and said every word, "You should consider how to become an excellent navy, not a profit-seeking businessman!"

"Father…"

　　 "I think your vacation is too long. From tomorrow onwards, you will be off board, let Sir Layton take care of you."

"…Yes."

　　 Looking at Elijah's angry back, Lorraine raised eyebrows with embarrassment, feeling helpless.

　　 He found himself ignoring the national conditions of Britain.

　　 After experiencing the glorious revolution, a constitutional monarchy that governs without rule was basically established in Britain.

　　 But the power of the country is still in the hands of the conservative new nobility, and the Drake family is their representative and backbone.

　　 In the eyes of these nobles, the only way for the family’s children to be political and military is the right way. But they can never become businessmen and lawyers.

　　 These two industries lack a standpoint, pursue profit and enjoy themselves, and their style is incompatible with the traditional aristocracy's character and cleanliness.

　　 Although the family cannot lack them, the people who are actually responsible for the occupation in the family are often the illegitimate children who have been expelled from the house in name.

　　 Lorraine felt very depressed.

　　 How appropriate, am I just an illegitimate child of Miao Honggenzheng...

　　 He thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Helena.

　　 He just couldn't think that the first obstacle to chasing his dream would be the unselfish care of his family.

　　 This is really...

　　 Helena coughed slightly: "You...too reckless..."
