Reborn As a Pirate

　　As a building type born for religion, Gothic architecture is actually very unsuitable as a private house.

　　 Lorraine, holding an umbrella, walked alone on the long red carpet, with bright candles swaying on both sides, and a pointed vault above his head.

　　 These elements are all amplifying the human senses.

　　 Obviously there is only a short passage of more than 30 meters, but Lorraine feels that he has crossed a hundred meters or even hundreds of meters quickly.

　　 At the end of the aisle, he walked around a carved shadow wall and stepped into the castle hall covered with blue carpets. Behind him is a five-meter-diameter rose bed, and in front of them are three rows of upper, middle and lower rows, neatly arranged side by side, thin and narrow arched windows with willow leaves.

　　 Between the two windows is today’s negotiation field.

　　 A long table, two lonely chairs at the head, a slim lady wearing a plain gown and black gauze sitting in the main seat in the north, the guest seat in the south is vacant in front of Lorraine, obviously reserved for him.

　　 He didn't rush to take his seat, and walked towards the lady with a smile.

Ms. 　　 got up and left the seat, took two steps, and stretched out her long, gloved fingers toward Lorraine.

　　 Lorraine nodded to greet the lady, raised a hand to hook her fingertips, leaned to her lips, gave a false kiss, and said softly: "The beautiful Baroness Yordel, Lorraine Drake greets you."

　　 The baroness held the skirt to return the courtesy, and responded with a slightly lower voice: "You are younger, stronger, and more savage than I thought."

　　 "You shouldn't expect a pirate's offspring to have a gentle temperament."

　　 "Francis contributed to the rise of the Netherlands and is a friend of the Dutch. Although we were not sure, we eventually gave it all back to the English."

　　 "This is by fate, ma'am."

　　 The baroness gave a noncommittal smile: "Take a seat, I heard that you have brought a beautiful female companion. I'm afraid I don't want to chat with this old woman for too long."

　　 Lorraine nodded again, neither explaining nor agreeing.

　　 Both sides are seated, looking at each other through the long table more than ten meters away.

　　 Lorraine slowly leaned the long umbrella beside him, took off his top hat, and crossed his fingers: "Madam, how are you going to compensate the English businessman for the loss of this unwarranted disaster?"

　　 "Are young people so impatient? I heard that English gentlemen like to use the weather as an opening."

　　 "That's why England is often accompanied by rainy days. Because it is always said inexplicably, its mood has never been better."

　　The baroness laughed blankly: "It?"

"it."

　　 The baroness's voice cooled down, and through the black gauze, Lorraine could still feel the alienation that was completely different from the previous one.

　　 She slowly took off the glove previously touched by Lorraine and threw it to the ground.

　　 "The Yordel Chamber of Commerce did not authorize the First Fleet to privately looting outside the Dutch waters, and everything has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce, and it has nothing to do with me."

　　 "Then there is no more to talk about?" Lorraine shrugged, "I am curious, since there is no need to talk, why do you condescend to come and see me, a little sea merchant in person?"

　　 "I want Freedom Tulip."

　　 "Just a boat?"

　　 "As long as the boat."

　　 Lorraine was a little surprised, because the negotiation ended abruptly.

　　 Next, no matter what conditions he makes, the baroness will agree, because she took the initiative to reveal her trump card and is no longer willing to make false claims.

　　 She actually gave the choice to her opponent.

　　 Lorraine groaned, staring aimlessly at the colorful bay window behind the baroness, and suddenly understood her deep meaning in choosing this castle as the place for negotiation...

　　 He smiled bitterly: "You are a qualified nobleman, madam."

　　 "Let's talk about the conditions."

　　 "The Yordel Chamber of Commerce withdrew from the Cantabrian Hunting League and paid ship damage and personnel compensation to the three chambers of commerce for a total of 3,762 pounds, 18 shillings and 4 pence."

　　 "18 shillings...4 pence?" The baroness stared at Lorraine in surprise.

"In the battle against the Yordel Chamber of Commerce, the three chambers of commerce paid a total of 762 pounds, 18 shillings and 4 pence, but you cannot compensate for the original price. The Hunting Alliance hurt my relationship with the two allies. You need to pay every One thousand pounds in compensation from a chamber of commerce."

　　The baroness then suddenly said: "Reasonable price, wise choice, it seems that you are also a qualified nobleman, even if... you don't believe in a merciful God."

　　 "I'm waiting for your messenger in Southampton." Lorraine stood up, put on his top hat, and raised his long umbrella. "It's a pleasure to meet you, madam, and I wish you youth forever."

　　 "I also wish you prosperity and peace."

　　 The two nodded and said goodbye, Lorraine left the seat and exited. At the moment when he was about to abduct the shadow wall, he suddenly heard a faint sigh behind him.

　　 "Vacuum... Obviously, he only needs to be handsome and considerate, but he wants more. The free tulip entrusts the life of the deceased husband's dream, and the people who cannot protect her... are not worth living in this world."

　　 This negotiation, together with Lorraine's entry and exit time, was only a dozen minutes short. The moment he walked out of the door, Henna's face was full of doubts.

　　 "Is there no one in the house?"

　　 "Someone."

　　 Henna glanced at Lorraine’s umbrella: "You did not encounter an attack."

　　 "There is only the baroness in there, our negotiation is over."

"ended?"

　　 "Yes, she retrieved the free tulip, and I dissolved the possibility of a large-scale intervention by the Prussian and Dutch Chamber of Commerce in this war. Everyone is happy to get together and get together."

　　 Lorraine put his elbow on Henna, did not even leave a goodbye word, and walked away.

　　 "Do you know? Wange thinks he is a delicate flower. As everyone knows, he is just a handful of flower mud around the social flower, not even the grass..."

　　……

　　 On December 1, 1778, the Southampton Parade Court officially convicted the Dutchman Dan Wang for piracy.

　　 He was hanged on an unnamed reef along the coast of Southampton. His face was no longer handsome, and his body swayed with the sea breeze.

　　 On the 3rd, the Dutch Yodel Chamber of Commerce formally announced its withdrawal from the Three Kingdom Hunting Alliance.

　　 On the 5th, the Spanish Herrera Chamber of Commerce announced its withdrawal from the alliance and publicly supported the freedom of navigation in Cantabrian.

　　 Within a few days, the business war in northwestern Europe was surging. England obviously lost a crucial war, but with the efforts of the Three Chambers of Commerce Alliance, it has won an incredible victory from the diplomatic field.

　　The Cantabrian link has thus become a duel between the British and French offshore chambers of commerce.

　　The French are powerful. The Admiral Veron of the Desai Chamber of Commerce and his Reindeer are unmatched in this sea.

　　The English are powerful, and the Three Chambers of Commerce Alliance has truly become the leader of the offshore business circle. Under pressure from its peers, the Roy Chamber of Commerce can only condescend to find Hiero and begin to discuss the formation of a joint fleet to completely open up the possibility of the Cantabrian blockade.

　　 Again, the Mindel Chamber of Commerce became the initiator of the England Joint Broken Fleet, and Lorraine was awarded the admiral of the fleet.

He took the oath of office at Trinity College, which had left him with a bad experience, and proposed to set up three deputy admirals, namely Lonza Roy of the Roy Chamber of Commerce, Levin Shaugner and Shah of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce. Yashin Shaklin of the Klin Chamber of Commerce.

　　The ships from all sides gathered in Southampton. The total number was 1 Karak, 14 Brigentin, 9 Hunfan Skuner, and 6 Kirk.

　　The original mixed fleet is integrated into the fleet as a whole, occupying half of the Brigentin type.

　　 This fleet that has won key victories ensures that Lorraine continues to maintain absolute authority in the huge new group.

　　 Large ships with flags of various chambers of commerce gathered along the tortuous coastline of England to various ports in Southampton. For a time, the Port of Wester was turbulent, and the docks and docks were endless day and night.

　　 Dark clouds gathered over England. The final battle of Cantabrian is about to begin...

　　 Lorraine found Yacharin on the training ground of the Musketeers.

"Acharin, my dear friend ~www.wuxiamtl.com~Lorraine smiled and looked at him, "In Hebasi, you are brave and fearless; on the battlefield, you are outstanding; in this grassy field, you behave diligently. Diligent and hardworking. You have won my approval with your performance. I think the original self-foreclosure contract is...obviously unfair to you. "

　　 Yacharin was so scared by Lorraine that his hairs stiff, and even his voice squashed.

"Boat... Captain, climbing onto Miss Freia Mindel's bed between training sessions is indeed an unauthorized behavior. This... But I haven't missed the training of the Musketeer for a moment! They can already do it. With 3 rapid fires per minute and 70% firing rate, this data is excellent. Even if it is placed in the French Marines, it is enough to be listed in the midstream!"

　　 "Of course I know you trained the Musketeers very well..." subconsciously responded, Lorraine suddenly widened his eyes, "Damn, you actually put Miss Freya to sleep?"

　　 "Don't you know?"

　　 "I don't even know Hiero!"

　　 Yacharin blinked his eyes: "Uh...so what you said just now is true?"

　　 Lorraine squeezed his temper and took two deep breaths, trying to bring the topic back to the original track.

　　 "True true, true true. We will calculate your behavior that undermines the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and allies... Now, the self-foreclosure contract is over and you are free."

　　 "Am I really free?"

　　 "You are free. In accordance with the additional terms of the self-foreclosure contract, I formally invite you on behalf of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and I am willing to provide you with a five-year, official flagship seaman contract."

　　 Lorraine slowed down, for fear that Acharin could not hear her clearly.

　　 "The choice is now in your hands, my chief gunner. Are you going to choose Drake or Desai?"
