Chapter 36

Facing the rising sun, the Artemis beauty returned to the port slowly. Noah, who had not slept all night, stood on the side of the ship with a sad face.

Lorraine went over and stopped with her back to her. Noah leaned her head against Lorraine's arm.

She is very petite, even the figure is not Roma. Her height of more than one meter and five can't even reach Lorraine's shoulder, so she can only lean on her arm.

Lorraine reached out and held her so that she could lean more comfortably.

"Regret?"

"They are my people. Uncle Sam secretly hid cheese for me when I was a child, and grandma PIDA always gave me pastries. And little Ellen, he always said he wanted to be my exclusive musician, but I didn't dare to dance in crowded places, so that he hasn't played guitar in the square so far..."

Noah whispered and tried to hide her head. Her voice became loud and clear, but her joy and anger disappeared.

"They are going to wander..." she said, "Roma like wandering and are afraid of wandering. When we go to a new place, people will always treat us as wizards, thieves and robbers, and we will die..."

Lorraine was speechless and knew that Noah didn't need him to speak.

Noah continued: "Captain, don't lie to Lord Alfonso... My cousins want to kill me, but Uncle Sam, grandma PIDA and little Ellen never want to hurt me... I can escape. It's the letter from little Ellen, which Uncle Sam told him..."

"We would not have deceived the viscount. Honesty is the foundation of business. Once there is deception, the business will not last long."

"Really?" Noah's eyes lit up.

Lorraine rubbed her head with a smile, and white ears came in and asked Lorraine to rub its little head together.

Lorraine teased white ear's round chin and whispered, "Noah, you can't question your captain in the future. Integrity is the foundation of navigation. Once there is deception, the sea ship will be rejected by Noah."

"Is Norton?"

"It's the grave of all ships and the paradise of all sailors." Lorraine pointed to his heart, "but she's not in the sky. She's here and where all pansies are in full bloom."

……

The great plan to establish friendship with Alfonso zijue was launched.

Noah returned to the romsala department and waited for the Viscount's call as a witch.

This is only temporary.

After divination, she will return to the ship, because she can't expel her three cousins. She can expel only herself.

Lorraine could not allow her crew to be in danger. In addition to making hainasin work harder to protect her, she also forced her three cousins to swear poison to the crystal ball of fate.

Funny and useful tricks.

Roma can believe in all gods, but in their bones they are atheists. The only belief in the world is fate, and they listen through crystal balls and tarot cards.

This is very similar to Lorraine.

As a man of two generations, he is also an atheist in his bones. He believes in niold. One is the habit given to him by little Lorraine, and the other is the memory of Helena.

Fortunately, the root of the ancestor's belief is basically remembering, otherwise Lorraine doesn't even know whether he is a whaler or not, let alone whether he can inspire the power in his blood.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Three days later, Noah heard that Viscount Alfonso had returned. They will meet the viscount and the Viscount at ten o'clock tomorrow to agree on the final details for the divination the day after tomorrow.

Lorraine, who got the news, smiled and asked pierce to prepare his dress and invincible cloisonne. He wrote his sailing diary early, turned off the lights and slept peacefully.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Lorraine and pierce in full dress came to the door of viscount Alfonso's house early. They opened the road with cloisonne. They waited only half an hour and were received by the viscount.

The Viscount sat under a parasol on the grass, wearing only a vest and shirt, neither a tuxedo nor a wig.

When he saw Lorraine, his first sentence was: "exquisite Oriental porcelain has bought you 15 minutes. Gentlemen, before the time is over, you can speak freely."

Lorraine wasted fifteen minutes of three hundred pounds without hesitation.

He could not have persuaded Viscount Alfonso.

A black businessman, an abandoned son of a family and an Englishman, Lorraine perfectly meets all the conditions that Spanish gentlemen can run errands and not help.

These conditions helped Lorraine all the time, so that after he said for 15 minutes, viscount Alfonso's eyes did not leave the cloisonne cup in his hand for even a second.

When Lorraine finished pinching the dots, Prince Alfonso put down his tea cup and smiled.

"Eloquent Mr. England, I admit, you almost convinced me." he closed the lid and played absently with his ring. "The 30% profit of belmayo port... Is very attractive. In the future, with your growth, you can upgrade to the 30% profit of the greater Basque region, even considering the future."

"What a pity..." he shook his head regretfully. "I am an aristocrat. Before considering the interests of the family, the first thing to consider is the interests of the Duke of Victoria and his majesty, the respectable king of Madrid."

"You should see that belmayo is an official port for black businessmen. We operate in the mode of black port to create a comfortable environment for black businessmen, but we are not a black port, and I am not a local rich man who relies on illegal profits to maintain a decent life. So..."

At this point, the housekeeper came up and whispered to Prince Alfonso.

Basque dialect is obscure and difficult to understand, but Lorraine can guess the content. It's almost Noah.

Sure enough, when the housekeeper finished speaking, the Viscount stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to Lorraine.

"Exquisite Oriental porcelain and Mr. England who is good at listening. You gave me a beautiful morning afternoon and I hope you can have a happy day. However, no matter how happy the meeting is, it will end... Now it is."

Lorraine also stood up, smiled, shook hands with Alfonso zijue, said goodbye, and watched him walk to the mansion, but he didn't mean to leave.

The Viscount walked for a moment and looked back discontentedly: "Mr. England, are you going to destroy this valuable first sight?"

"No, sir." Lorraine leaned under his umbrella. "I still have a farewell. After that, I'll leave naturally."

"Oh?"

"Carmen Xavier."

"What!"

"Miss Carmen Xavier." Lorraine nodded to Lord Alfonso, "I don't know if I called the beautiful lady's name wrong. You know, the pronunciation of Spanish is a little difficult for English people. If I accidentally caused trouble to you, I can apologize."

Prince Alfonso narrowed his eyes and said, "surprise Mr. England, it seems that you are well prepared."

"As a fledgling young businessman, only by being diligent can he make up for his shortcomings."

They both laughed at the same time.

After waiting for a while, the housekeeper found that Mr. Alfonso had sex again and leaned over in embarrassment: "Sir, madam's guests..."

Lord Alfonso suddenly changed his face. His face was ferocious and looked like a cannibal: "let those humble and dirty flamencos wait! Don't you see I'm entertaining guests? Get out!"
