Reborn As a Pirate

Text 0624 Month-old job

At 11:30, the first wharf of Wai Rust.

It was windy.

The wind at sea is grinding the edge of the island like a grinding wheel, and the violent waves are scrambling to beat the coast.

Even for the islanders who have lived on the island for a long time, such bad weather without rain is not common.

"It might as well rain a little!"

Brooklyn, who worked on the dock, chomped on hard bread, raised a wooden cup, drank clean water mixed with bad wine, and slammed the plate out of the cafeteria.

He is going to work.

Different from what most people imagined, because of those chic and strict privacy protection, these dock workers were the busiest group of people during the auction of Shelter Hills.

Their dormitory is at Pier 1 at the easternmost point of the island, and the auction items are stored at Piers 27 and 28 at the westernmost corner.

Four hours before each auction, they have to cross the entire island and carry those precious and fragile items to the main venue one by one. Two hours after the auction ended, the auctioned items had to be sent to the corresponding pier to exchange for a large amount of gold coins.

In the middle of the night, the gold coins had to be shipped and left the island.

In just two days, their work schedules were multiple. On the walls of the dormitory, each person's work schedule was posted for each hour. According to unexpected accidents, they had to accept assignments at any time to support and help.

What's more terrible is that this kind of busyness is sudden. Most of the time the one-year dispatch on the island is very leisurely. There is only less than a week before and after the auction. People can't help but get annoyed.

"You have to be on standby even to sleep, can't slaves do this kind of work!" Brooklyn became more and more bored, put on the shoulder strap specially used for moving auction items, and beat his waist to start the afternoon work.

The wind suddenly sent a strange cry.

"Enemy... attack! Enemy... attack!"

The strong wind made the sound inaudible, but the source could still be heard.

Brooklyn followed the source of the sound and looked up, seeing a fluttering red silk on the observation deck fluttering in the strong wind.

The watch guard was beckoning, behind him, towards the sea, like a forest of sails jumped out of the water.

fire!

Brooklyn saw the flames, and then there was a strange whistling sound in the whistling wind.

Woo...

Brooklyn's eyes widened: "Enemy...enemy attack! Shelling!!!"

boom!

...

As Lorraine expected, the free bidding for box 2 was far more decisive than that of box 16. In just three minutes, 180,000 became 200,000, which was still a 20,000 increase, at least avoiding the one-shot that Lorraine was most worried about. bad state.

No. 7 and No. 16 followed suit without hesitation, and the design drawing of Fury entered the final round with a sky-high price of 203,000 pounds.

The bidding price rose rapidly. It took two minutes to break through 210,000, 220,000 was still two minutes, and 230,000 was still two minutes.

Lorraine's No. 7, his opponents No. 2 and No. 16 were extremely decisive and did not hesitate when making quotations. However, the 15 minutes set by Seager for his subordinates had passed, but Harry and Ryan still did not bring good results. news.

Sig could no longer see the smile on his face: "No. 2 is Russian and No. 16 is Portuguese. Is that your judgment?"

"I said that the worst possibility cannot be ruled out. Old Dukov is on the 16th, and the previous bid was the smoke he asked his nephew to put out."

"Worst case..." Sig swallowed, "How much do you think the Russians brought?"

"More than 350,000 chips, more than 100,000 chips higher than our total, dominant strength."

"Spent 350,000 yuan for a blueprint of a third-tier battleship, are the Russians crazy?"

Lorraine glanced at Sig in a different place: "Is this the time to say such a thing? When the bid exceeds 120,000, the people who participated in the auction have already..."

Boom!

The door of the box was pushed open, Ryan's face was spattered with blood,

Panting desperately: "Three... No. 30! Solomon is in Box No. 30, Pier 9, and it has been confirmed that Alexander Hamilton, the interim Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, is also there. As Chairman Drake said, Solomon is just cover!"

"I'm 2 minutes late, but the information is more complete than I thought." Lorraine stood up with a smile, and took off his top hat and his umbrella sword from the coat rack. "Carmen, you are in charge here."

Carmen smiled and nodded: "What reason are you going to find for such a sudden visit?"

"The reason..." Lorraine put the top hat on her head, raised her head, and stared at Karen with bad intentions, "How about helping Keren as a matchmaker?"

Karen, who was like a mountain, suddenly lost his color.

"Ha ha!"

Whether he wanted to or not, after a while, Karen and Lorraine were standing in front of the door of box 30.

Lorraine took off her gloves and knocked on the door lightly. After a while, the door was opened from the inside.

It was Solomon's butler Roddy who opened the door. The old man had doubts on his face when he opened the door. When he saw Lorraine and Karen, his doubts turned into horror.

He subconsciously blocked the door: "Mr....Mr. Drake, Mr. Scott?"

"Mr. Luo Di, your voice is too loud." Lorraine gently stretched out the umbrella sword, pressed the butler's waist, and pushed it aside bit by bit.

The old gentleman blushed: "Mr.... Drake, my loud voice has always been my characteristic..."

"I don't really understand why you're here."

With a little effort, Lorraine easily slapped the butler against the wall. The butler struggled desperately, but found that he couldn't move at all.

Lorraine's voice is like a knife.

"As you can see, of course I'm here because I know who's in there. I think we need to meet, and if you try to stop me for them, I'll probably kill you and nothing will change."

"Alexander, do you want blood to bleed here?"

"Yeah, Ken..." Hamilton came out with a strange tone, glanced at the old butler, and immediately changed his tune, "Lorraine, it's not often that you look extremely angry."

"Because I'm short on time." Lorraine strode into the box, just in time to hear the sound of quotations on the stage.

"242,000 pounds! No. 2, No. 7, No. 16! Amazing price, amazing competition! No. 2, No. 7, No. 16, will you continue to insist?"

"245,000 pounds! . . . "

Amid the exclamation, Lorraine walked past Hamilton expressionlessly, took off his top hat, and hung up his umbrella sword.

Karen followed embarrassingly, walked into the room, and waved cautiously to Miss Solomon who was also at a loss.

Behind them were the old butler Roddy and Edley, who kept their responsibilities as servants and subordinates, leaning against the wall on the left and right in silence.

Instead, Hamilton was at the end, pacing in casually, and sat down opposite Lorraine.

"I won't ask how you found me, anyway, there will definitely be no touching stories." He said, "Lorraine, why did you come?"

Lorraine tilted her head and raised her chin, thinking for a while: "Karen admires Miss Solomon. Although both parties are well aware of this matter, the Nordic reserve makes Karen do stupid things."

"As his friend, I feel that I need to support his relationship. It happens that love is something regardless of the occasion, and you can do it when you think of it. That's why I accompanied Karen."

"It's because of love?" Hamilton's tone made Keren and Miss Solomon blush.

It's like being in a trial surrounded by people, and someone is mercilessly playing with the scars on their bodies. The pain is secondary, and the more important thing is the sense of shame, which makes people want to find a crack in the ground and drill down.

Sadly, both Lorraine and Hamilton were adept at dismissing humanity in the face of absolute goals.

There was a mocking smile on Hamilton's face: "So Lorraine, my best friend, what are you going to do for their love?"

"Nothing is going to be done," Lorraine said. "Love is a personal thing, and once it gets to the implementation stage, there's no point in helping."

"Since love is a personal matter..." Hamilton clapped his hands, "it seems we'd better avoid it."

"no."

"No? Reason."

"One is a designer who is afraid of socializing and lacks self-confidence, and the other is a young lady who is trapped by her family and believes that she is not liked. Their conversations cannot go well. As friends, we have an obligation to warm up the scene before they open their hearts. .”

"How to warm up?"

"chat."

"What to talk about?"

"How much authorization do you have?"

The two parties were completely ignored, but miraculously, because of the ignore, they just want to thank God.

Hamilton changed to a comfortable sitting position: "150,000."

"Lend it to me." Lorraine cut to the chase.

"Impossible, this will ruin my political career." Hamilton was also straightforward.

"You will have two options. One, when you disembark in Boston, I will return you all the principal and 30% of the bridge interest. It's up to you. We don't decide on any paperwork."

"Secondly, you will be in charge of the next U.S. naval procurement. If Drake is selected, I will give you a 10% discount on the final transaction price. A memorandum can be signed on this point."

"I want a formal contract. The presiding party should be changed to the temporary finance department or any subsequent department. The discount will be adjusted to 15% off. 10% off is too little."

Lorraine thought for a while, then raised her head: "Adrey, notify Carmen immediately, she now has 400,000."

"yes!"
