Reborn As a Pirate

Chapter 78: King's chair legs

   Cambridge University, Trinity College.

   The luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of this great university that cultivated great figures such as Newton and Bacon.

   Lorraine and Hierro got out of the car in their most solemn dresses, stopped together, raised their elbows, and welcomed their female companions from the car.

  Hiero’s female companion is his unmarried niece Freia, a standard, lively, and somewhat broken-mouthed English lady.

   Lorraine’s female partner is Carmen.

Today she has her long hair curled up, wearing a cream-colored tunic dress, a silk scarf around her neck, and lace gloves. Even the broad-brimmed top hat on her head is also decorated with elegant lace and ribbons, and she is not decorated with gold or silver. The only precious thing is the **** brooch made of pearls on the chest.

   is conservative, pure, but cleverly smiling, still beautiful and moving.

   Lorraine had never thought of seeing this kind of temperament in Carmen, and couldn't help but praise: "Today you will make all the ladies jealous. I saw that Miss Mindel has already pouted her mouth."

   Carmen nodded, helped Lorraine's arm to jump out of the carriage, and took advantage of the situation to pull up.

   "Miss Yesra told me that seafarers are the private property of the captain. If you don't get your advice, I won't be ostentatious. She said this is the rules of pirate ships."

   "How can you tell me like an old-fashioned..."

   "It's respect."

   "Is there a difference?"

   Seeing Lorraine's depressed look, Carmen covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

Eight days after the    Chamber of Commerce was reorganized, the large-scale repair of the Butterfly Flower came to an end, and rare ancient gold wares successively landed on auction houses in various places.

   This batch of gold ware caused an uproar in the collection market. More than 30,000 pounds of cash flowed into Lorraine's pocket, which was converted into a sailor's bonus, Viscount Alfonso's share capital and Clover's brand-new ship outfit.

   These three things cost Lorraine a full 20,000 pounds.

  After all the things were done, the General Chamber of Commerce still had a balance of 14,000 pounds on the books, and the branch of the Chamber of Commerce still had a balance of 4,000 pounds, with sufficient funds.

   Ramos was also introduced by Carmen and had a good first meeting with the prestigious Count of Pidia in the Basque Country.

  If there is no accident in the future, the Bidia family will make up for the loss of reputation caused by the retiring of the Alfonso family and become the new partner of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Spain and the Basque Country.

   Thousands of threads have progressed, and the Pansy is still some time before launching.

   Lorraine took out his free time and led Pierce to visit the president of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce Hierro in a high-profile manner.

   Until then, Hierro always thought Lorraine died at sea...

   In the more than 20 days since Lorraine lost contact, the situation in Cantabrian has become more and more deteriorating.

   The Reindeer is unbeatable, and the first fleet of the Desai family swept across the fields under the blessing of this powerful warship and made huge profits.

   Driven by huge interests, the Kalmar Chamber of Commerce in France, the Yodel Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands and the Herrera Chamber of Commerce in Spain have sent their strongest fleets to the hunting grounds.

   The entire route is dotted with elite privateers, and English merchants have become difficult to move.

   Hierro was stunned. On the one hand, he lamented the early death of the young man he was optimistic about, and on the other hand, it was also because of the loss of the Chamber of Commerce.

   Under the current situation, he had to cut off the profitable Spanish route, causing the Chamber of Commerce's revenue to fall into a cliff.

   At this moment, Lorraine returned to the world like an angel.

   Single-handedly, with a small broad, bravely fighting against giant whales, return safely...

   Lorraine, who stood in front of Hierro again, became a young man full of potential, and became the hope of victory in the eyes of Hierro for breaking the battle.

   With the greatest enthusiasm, he restarted the admission of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and within a few days he got everything he needed.

   The Drake Chamber of Commerce formally joined the Offshore Guild, and this grand afternoon tea party held at Trinity College was the official welcome party prepared by the Guild for Lorraine.

   Lorraine and Carmen chuckled quietly beside the carriage, Hierro took his niece over and took the initiative to act as the host.

   "Brave little Drake, have you been to Trinity College before?"

   Lorraine smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The closest I was to Cambridge was the day I was expelled by my family. At that time, there was a law school acceptance letter in front of me. As long as I accept it, I can become a Cambridge student."

  Yerohaha laughed: "Trinity College is Trinity College, and Cambridge University is Cambridge University. You have to be careful not to confuse the two."

He pointed to the corner of the door, behind a row of big trees, the apple tree planted alone under the window said: "That is the gravitational tree. It discovered gravitation together with Isaac Newton. Now Mr. Newton is in the Hall of Fame. It is outside the gate and enjoys the quietness of this courtyard."

   "Mr. Mindel seems to be familiar with Trinity College."

"My brother and I are both graduates of Trinity College. In fact, the three chambers of commerce initiated by the Offshore Guild are all related to Trinity College. Planned."

   "Trinity College actually supports students in doing business?" Lorraine was surprised.

   "Freedom, challenge, humor, we are different."

   Hiero laughed proudly, and led Lorraine towards the majestic Gothic courtyard gate.

"In 1546, His Majesty Henry VIII merged the King’s School and Michael’s School into Trinity College. In order to let us remember his grace, he summoned outstanding sculptors from all over Britain at that time and selected them from thousands of proposals. For the most majestic one, erected his own statue on the gate of the college."

   Following Hierro's guidance, Lorraine saw the sculpture above the huge round arched porch of the courtyard gate.

   Henry VIII stood on the porch with a serious expression, holding the golden holy ball cross in his left hand, and holding a strange stick in his right hand.

   "His hand..."

   "A chair leg is still lame."

   "Chair legs?"

   The color of contentment on Hiero's face grew stronger.

"When the statue was completed, His Majesty Henry VIII was holding a golden scepter that symbolized the throne and majesty. He is aloof. UU reading www.uukanshu.com wants every Trinity student to start from the day of enrollment. Bow to his majesty."

   "This caused the dissatisfaction of the old seniors. Less than a month after the statue was completed, a senior named Tony Clayton sneaked up on the statue, drew his scepter, and threw it into the stinking ditch."

   Lorraine and Carmen were dumbfounded: "Did the scepter into the stinking ditch?"

"It's really a smelly ditch." Hierro shrugged, "This incident caused an uproar in the UK that year. His Majesty ordered the college to investigate, but the teachers and students of the college firmly kept the secrets of Clayton's senior, even in the face of God. , Also remained silent. The college's investigation was fruitless, and in desperation, he could only redo a scepter and put it back into the hands of the statue."

   Lorraine couldn't laugh or cry: "That Mr. Clayton threw it into the ditch again?"

   "There is no evidence that Senior Clayton is directly related to the two thefts of the scepter."

   "The last two times? Hell, this scepter was stolen three times?"

   Hiero pointed to the broken chair leg in the right hand of the scepter and said, "On the third time, the person who stole the scepter stuffed the broken chair leg in."

"Then what?"

"The senior management of the college thought it was very good. They put an end to the incident with a public statement. The original text of the statement is: Although the students' behavior is naughty, but cute, they also expressed the college's independent spirit of rebelling against authority. The college considers this to be a suitable change, and also believes that this should be the last change in the statue incident."

   "1546..." Lorraine was amazed, "In other words, His Majesty Henry VIII has been standing in front of the academy with the leg of a chair for more than two hundred years?"

   "He will stand on forever, because the world will end and the Trinity will last forever. He wants to destroy her unless God is tired of mankind."
