Reborn As a Pirate

At night, the carriage slowly stopped at Sir Codd's cliff castle.

This castle is very small, only more than ten meters high, with an area of ​​four to five hundred square meters, square and square, with four corner watchtowers.

It stands on a straight cliff stretching out from the island, facing the sea on three sides and only one side, less than 30 meters wide.

Standing on the cliff, the moon seems to be extraordinarily large, the castle seems extraordinarily high, with the stormy waves crashing against the shore under your feet, and the huge rocks pressing down on the top in front of you, it gives people a great sense of deterrence.

Lorraine saw Carmen who had been waiting for a long time outside the drawbridge of the castle. She was wearing a dark purple lace dress, embellished with gold trim and white gauze. At first glance, it was customized according to the style of the pansy merchant flag.

Lorraine nodded slightly, and bent her elbow to invite her.

She lifted the corner of her skirt and curtseyed, pulled it up, and leaned close to Lorraine's ear.

"President, the Desai Chamber of Commerce has temporarily changed its negotiator. The vice-chairman Elis is no longer here, and the first fleet admiral Wei Lun has been replaced. Their surnames are Desai."

"Temporary?" Lorraine asked slightly.

"Yes, temporarily, without informing us in any form, according to etiquette, you can refuse to meet."

"Why do you refuse?"

Carmen bit her lip, stood on tiptoe, and almost stuck to Lorraine's ear: "I heard that... Villen is very arrogant, very arrogant."

"Let an arrogant person come to negotiate..." Lorraine smiled, "Isn't that just right, and we don't really need the ransom of two thousand pounds. Compared to capturing a nobleman, I prefer to stand on the stand of justice . . . to judge a pirate."

Accompanied by Carmen, Lorraine stepped on the wet and cold revolving stone stairs to the large terrace on the second floor of the castle.

This is the meeting place for negotiations. To the west, facing the sea, there are steep cliffs in front and back, and the boundless Strait of Dover to the outside.

In the middle of the terrace was a long table covered with a dark blue flannel tablecloth. There was nothing on the table, except for a stern young man in a tuxedo sitting on the south side. A tall man.

Lorraine smiled even more, and opened a chair for Carmen on the north side of the table, while he sat opposite the young man, with his long umbrella at hand.

He raised his legs comfortably: "Admiral Veron Desai, sitting in the direction of France, but he doesn't wear bird feathers on his dress."

Villen lowered his eyelids: "A full set of costumes is a respect for the noble blood. Facing an English pirate who makes a living by plundering, wearing a dress is enough."

"This is a bit unreasonable. It is your merchant association that hoisted the pirate flag to rob and kill England's merchant ships on public routes, but now it falsely calls me a pirate... Is this the cultivation of a French gentleman?"

Villen raised his head slightly, his light blue eyes did not hide his disdain.

"I investigated you, Lorraine Anason Drake, descendant of the pirate Drake, half-breed, illegitimate son. Half a year ago, he was a black merchant in Elgin, and after half a year, he finally got together a thousand pounds to register the Chamber of Commerce. Just a little guy."

"Miss Carmen's evaluation of you is arrogant." Lorraine leaned back in the chair and licked her lips. "I think she is wrong. You are not arrogant, but stupid."

"Oh?"

"A little man defeated your Third Fleet and captured your cousin? Cousin? Brother? You begged me not to try him as a pirate, and I accepted, which is why I came here. And you don't seem to Know why you are here."

"I always know what I'm about to do, Savage."

Villen stood up, popped out a gold louis with a ding, and landed in front of Lorraine.

"There is no idiot like Acharin in Desai's blood, and Desai's reputation cannot be insulted. This is your travel fare..."

"If you are lucky enough to get out alive tonight, you can hang Yacharin. Next time we meet in Cantabrian, I will settle a hundred pounds for you personally as a reward."

He saluted Lorraine as a gentleman, and walked into the deep castle with a long smile.

Carmen stared dumbfounded at Wei Lun leaving, dumbfounded at the two remaining strong men grinning and drawing their knives, and dumbfounded at Lorraine standing up, expressionlessly lifting the long-handled umbrella that was leaning aside.

"The last time I fought in a dress was in Bermeo. Fortunately, I remembered to order an umbrella sword from Mr. Martini."

Clang!

Umbrella sword unsheathed...

A moment later, with blood on his face, Lorraine walked out of the castle with a smile on his arm while Carmen was still in shock.

What surprised him was that Villen, a barbarian in wild man's skin, remembered to drive away the carriage he had hired and replaced it with a dozen dirty guides dressed as sailors.

Lorraine had no choice but to sigh, took off his tuxedo, and solemnly handed it to Carmen.

"Carmen, stand a little farther away, I don't like dirty blood on my clothes..."

The sailors yelled and rushed forward.

...

Set up a bureau, plot an assassination, block the killing...

The Cliff Castle is more than ten kilometers away from the West Bank Wharf. There are dense forests and cliffs that are inaccessible along the way. From time to time, killers will emerge from the shadows and attack Lorraine.

In Lorraine's eyes, these sailors who are only strong and holdable are not qualified threats, but he was heartbroken, holding an umbrella sword, and couldn't help but lead Carmen away faster and faster.

Carmen can't keep up...

"President, wait... ah!"

With an exclamation, Lorraine actually picked her up and started running.

He only held her with his left hand, and held the sword in his right hand. Taking advantage of the height difference and his strong and powerful arms, he let her half sit and half lean on his body, and run wildly.

Carmen felt as if she had been kidnapped by a steed. The tree shadows on both sides were retreating rapidly, and her body was undulating with Lorraine's steps.

In order not to fall, she could only hug Lorraine's neck with all her strength, and her whole body almost collapsed on Lorraine.

Her pretty face was flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito: "President, I can..."

"You're too slow." Lorraine was not polite at all, stretched his arms, and hugged Carmen tighter, "Villon is a lunatic, I'm worried about the Butterfly..."

"Dare he attack English merchant ships in a port sheltered by the British Royal Navy?"

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of..."

Just as he was talking, a sailor jumped down from the tree fork next to him, raised his knife and slashed at Carmen in Lorraine's arms.

Lorraine didn't have time to dodge, so he turned sideways and took the knife with his back!

puff! The sharp blade tore open the vest and the shirt, leaving a long wound on his back, the bright red blood was instantly stained, half of the clothes were already stained in the breath.

Lorraine frowned, took half a step forward, and turned back to stab.

The slender umbrella sword pierced the sailor's throat, and almost cut off his head with a horizontal swing.

Carmen panicked: "President, your injury..."

"Yelling won't help stop the bleeding and pain!" Lorraine gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, "If you are afraid, just close your eyes."

Go all the way, kill all the way.

During the short ten-kilometer journey, Lorraine held Carmen and killed more than 20 people, and accidentally got stabbed in the back. After driving for more than two hours, he finally saw the carmen parked quietly on the pier outside the port. First Fleet.

Everyone... is safe and sound.

Lorraine let out a long sigh of relief. The exhaustion from killing all night and the pain on his back came together, causing him to almost fall to the ground.

The hand holding Carmen loosened.

Carmen hurriedly supported him when he landed, and it took a lot of effort to meet the stunned eyes of the whole crew and carry Lorraine back to the Butterfly.

The deck suddenly became chaotic.

Hana flew to catch Lorraine, her emerald eyes were full of murderous intent.

She stared at Carmen: "What's going on?"

"Veren...Veren Desai is a lunatic. He arranged for many people to rob us on the road...The president wants to protect me..."

"Hina..." Lorraine suddenly said, "Issue an order to immediately let Ramos take over the command..."

He leaned against Henna weakly and shook his head weakly to wake himself up.

"Tell Ramos that the fleet will never leave the port, and that the watchtower must be manned all night...beware of Villen's Reindeer...stay through the night and wait for the dawn..."
