Reborn As a Pirate

Lorraine never thought before that there would be a day when melodious orchestral music and cruel whipping would complement each other.

But in Kent Manor, he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, seeing and hearing, cruelty and elegance, civilization and savagery, truth and hypocrisy...

"Mr. Kenway? Mr. Kenway?"

The philosophizing emotions were pulled back by a strange and soft female voice, and Lorraine slowly returned to reality.

The five senses unfolded. He first heard the mellow solo of the Euphonium, and the twisted rhythm merged into a tune in his mind. It was Johann Sebastian Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto" No. 5 D Tune.

This is a gem-level piece of music. In Lorraine's impression, Bach's original piece should be played by flute, violin and harpsichord.

But maybe Mrs. Kent’s orchestra doesn’t have any good harpsichord players, or maybe her euphonium player is exceptional, and the original light concerto has been boldly reinterpreted by the musicians.

The mid-bass range of the Euphonium is much wider than the original instrumental music, resulting in a drastic change in the style of the whole tune, with less elf-like cheerfulness, replaced by a rich fragrance full of maturity and charm, just like the one in front of Lorraine. Beautiful manor owner.

The intoxicating solo soon came to an end, the lively flute broke into the register, followed by the violin, trumpet and various magnificent auxiliary music, accompanied by the muffled sound of the whip whipping the body and the uncontrollable screams of the tortured .

With an extreme sense of incompatibility, but with a steady beat, the screaming drum beats blended with the music, Lorraine's blank eyes gradually focused, and he saw clearly.

The manor is bright in spring, and there are nine long poles erected on the pasture.

The longest one was at the corner, with a rope hanging from the top, hanging from the black slave who abandoned his master at the critical moment.

Regardless of whether his behavior at that time was a subconscious reflex or a deliberate conspiracy, now, he has become a mass of dead flesh swaying in the wind, without a sound.

The other eight long poles were lined up in front of Lorraine. The long rope at the top hoisted the guards who gave up the rescue at that time in a [Y] shape. They were flogged at the end of the long rope, and there was only execution behind them Even the prison sentence and counting were subconsciously omitted.

This means that the standard for this caning is [beat until satisfactory].

The lynching had lasted for two days, and the hanged groom also hung on the pasture for two days.

Yet it shouldn't have lasted that long.

In the first round of flogging, two guards accidentally admitted to taking bribes and asked to collect evidence that the earl monopolized the smuggling trade and distributed the supply of goods privately.

As a result, things got out of hand, and two people had already been beaten to death, and the number of betrayers who had two hearts to the earl rose from two to seven.

Not at all what Lorraine expected.

Because of this sudden episode, Lorraine and his party also stayed in the manor for two whole days with nothing to do.

Today is the third day. On the pretext of fine weather, Mrs. Kent, the owner of the manor, officially invited Lorraine to drink tea for the first time.

"Mr. Kenway? Mr. Kenway?" Mrs. Kent held the teapot with a strange and puzzled look on her face.

Lorraine smiled faintly to cover up her previous absence.

"Madam." He gently pushed the empty cup in front of Madam's direction, "I'm thinking about the battle in the suburbs."

"With the Earl here, the Brits can't threaten the peace of New Orleans." Madam shook the pot at Lorraine, "This year's Kenya. Although the Brits have always lacked the elegance and romance of France, it must be admitted that they love tea. Knowing Tianxia Wushuang, only the good tea they think is really good tea."

The amber tea liquid was poured into the cup, emitting a dense aroma. Lorraine picked it up and took a sip. Suddenly remembered something, and frowned falsely.

"A farmer like me really can't taste good or bad tea. In my opinion, it is neither as spicy as spirits, nor as strong as coffee."

"Really..." Madam smiled playfully, and put down the teapot reservedly, "The count told me that you are an excellent smuggler, with a big ship that rides the wind and waves, and a crew that prohibits you. I thought you would like to drink tea."

"In five years, maybe, not now."

"Because you're young?"

Lorraine smiled sassyly: "Youth means rebellion. I really can't calm down and appreciate things that the world thinks are good."

Madam nodded in agreement: "I have to admit that I envy your lifestyle. This is the privilege of those who have left the old class and have not yet joined the new class. It is called freedom."

"Isn't it called a nouveau riche or a country bumpkin?"

"It's a compliment, not a sarcasm."

The two chatted nonsensically, until the housekeeper came over and whispered a few words in Mrs. Kent's ear, and the lady put down the glass with a smile.

"The count is back," she said.

Lorraine looked at his pocket watch from a different place: "Ten o'clock? The Earl seems to be back early..."

"Your observation is very meticulous."

Lorraine was startled, but calmed down immediately.

"There is only a fine line between saving people and assassinating people. I have done everything assassins have done. I believe that neither you nor the count will think that I just happened to pass by there, and I happened to help the count out of danger, right?"

"A frank young man, frank and sensitive." Madam stood up gracefully, "The Earl is waiting for you in the study. Besides, the last sentence is not a compliment."

"Thank you for your hospitality..."

...

After all, after living in the manor for two days, Lorraine has already obtained permission to move freely in the short distance from the pasture to the study.

On the way, Karen came to his side and took the opportunity of changing clothes to convey the latest news from the outside world.

Katerina sent information. Last night, the Knights of Arrow, who had not recovered from serious injuries, led a team to seal the old tavern, and all the staff below Bach were arrested.

Katerina judged that one night was enough time for the Earl to ask the whole story of the assassination, including Katerina's identity and her role in this incident.

The development of this part has always been in Lorraine's plan, including the cross-dressing and roles of Yacharin and Daniel, as well as the exposure of Katerina's identity.

Lorraine's purpose is to establish a relatively long-term life-and-death relationship with the earl. In order to achieve this goal, he must make himself the most suitable person for the earl to entrust to him for safety.

Offering rewards and assassinations will make the earl unable to trust unfamiliar smugglers and mercenaries, and Acharin's disguised French nobles will plant doubts in the earl's heart about the Baton Rouge Legion and other French sergeants.

As for Katerina's dual identity as a pirate and a wanted criminal...

The registered owner of the Jackdaw is Donna Linka. With the earl's ability, it is only a matter of time before this fake identity is linked with the Caribbean red-haired Katerina Dibo.

Rather than deliberately concealing it at the risk of being discovered during the cooperation process, and giving up Katerina's social and personal connections in New Orleans in order to conceal it, it is better to make these all clear from the beginning.

Katerina's identity will become a suitable handle, and this handle will be handed over to the earl, which can effectively enhance his sense of security and make up for the lack of trust and acquaintance between Lorraine and him.

As far as Lorraine is concerned, this matter is harmless enough.

The identity of the wanted criminal is only valid for the Spanish authorities. The Earl's enmity against the world is just thanks to the Spaniards, and the possibility of a dog picking up a mouse is close to zero.

The status of the ex-pirates is even less important.

Plowshares for swords!

In order to lure the Caribbean's plethora of pirates to convert, the colonies of various countries began to regard this recruitment strategy as a standard since the 1740s.

Every pirate who takes the initiative to wash his hands can get an unconditional pardon and get 35 acres of private land.

As a well-known great pirate, Katerina's situation must be special. But once this particularity is made public, it will only get her a bigger plowshare, and it is impossible to change it to a gallows.

The handle in the earl's hands is nothingness, it can give the earl psychological comfort, but it is not enough to pose a real threat to Lorraine.

For Lorraine who intends to cooperate, this is the most suitable "gift".

On the way to the study, Lorraine reviewed the current situation over and over again.

The earl sealed off the old tavern, which means that he has sorted out the assassination chain from the assassin, and also successfully received all the information that Lorraine wanted to give him, and grasped the nominal handle.

The only surprise is that there are really bribed figures in the guard, which is beyond Lorraine's expectations. Fortunately, it will only have a positive impetus to the plan.

Under the multiple influences, the current earl should have become a frightened bird. While worrying about the next assassination, he is also wary of the whole world.

In this way, Lorraine, who had rejected the invitation of the old tavern, saved the earl's life, demonstrated combat effectiveness, and had the handle on the earl, was undoubtedly the most suitable guard.

The current meeting that is not on the regular schedule is likely to be an invitation to Lorraine.

That is to say, if you take ninety-nine out of a hundred steps, you only need to take one step, and you will achieve great success!

Thinking of this, Lorraine clenched his fists secretly.

The first step of the plan to regain Joan of Arc is about to succeed. This meeting will determine the future rewards!
