Chapter 48

At night, the carriage stopped slowly at Sir cod's Cliff castle.

The castle is very small, with a total height of more than 10 meters, an area of four or five hundred square meters, square and square, and four corner blockhouses.

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

On the cliff, the moon seems to be very big, the castle seems to be very high, the waves beat the shore at the foot, and the boulders press the top in front of you, giving people a great sense of deterrence.

Outside the suspension bridge of the castle, Lorraine saw Carmen, a dark purple lace dress decorated with Phnom Penh and white yarn, which was customized according to the style of Pansy commercial flag.

Lorraine nodded slightly, bent her elbow and made an invitation to her.

She bent her knees with the corner of her skirt, pulled it up, and leaned close to Lorraine's ear.

"President, the Desai chamber of Commerce has temporarily changed the negotiator. The vice president elisby is not coming. They have changed the first fleet commander Velen. Their surnames are Desai."

"Temporary?" Lorraine was slightly surprised.

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

"Why refuse?"

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

"Let an arrogant man negotiate..." Lorraine smiled. "That's not right. We don't lack the 2000 pound ransom. I prefer to stand in the position of justice... To try a pirate than to capture an aristocrat."

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

This is the venue for negotiations. Facing the sea to the west, there are steep cliffs in front of and behind, and the endless Dover Strait to the outside.

There was a long table in the middle of the terrace, covered with a dark blue flannel tablecloth. There was nothing above the table. Only in the South sat a cold young man in a tuxedo, standing with two big men with long swords on his waist and high chest on his back.

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

He crossed his legs comfortably: "Velen Desai, sitting in the direction of France, does not wear bird feathers on his dress."

Villen drooped his eyelids: "a full dress is respect for noble blood. In the face of an English pirate who makes a living by looting, wearing a dress is enough."

"That's a little unreasonable. Your Chamber of Commerce robbed and killed English merchant ships on public routes with pirate flags, but now they falsely call me a pirate... Is this the cultivation of French gentlemen?"

Villen raised his head slightly, and his light blue eyes made no secret of his disdain.

"I investigated you, Lorraine Jonathan Drake, the descendant of pirate Drake, mixed race, illegitimate son. Six months ago, he was a black merchant in Elgin, and six months later, he finally collected a thousand pounds to register the chamber of Commerce, just a little man."

"Miss Carmen thinks you're arrogant." Lorraine leaned back and licked her lips. "I think she's wrong. You're not arrogant, you're just stupid."

"Oh?"

"A little man defeated your third fleet and captured your cousin? Cousin? Or brother? You begged me not to try him for piracy. I accepted, and then I came here. And you don't seem to know why you came here."

"I always know what I'm going to do, barbarian."

Villen stood up and popped up a golden Louis, which was falling in front of Lorraine.

"There is no fool like acharin in Desai's blood, and Desai's reputation can't be insulted. This is your travel fee..."

"If you're lucky enough to get out tonight, you can hang acharin. I'll settle a hundred pounds for you next time I meet in Cantabrian."

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

Carmen stared at villen leaving, stared at the two remaining strong men grinning and pulling the knife, and stared at Lorraine standing up with no expression and lifting the long umbrella leaning against one side.

"The last fight in a dress was in belmayo. Fortunately, I remember ordering an umbrella sword from Mr. martini."

Qiang!

Umbrella sword out of scabbard

A moment later, Lorraine walked out of the castle with blood on her face and a frightened Carmen smile.

To his surprise, villen, a savage in Savage skin, remembered to drive away the carriage he hired and replaced it with a dirty guide dressed up by more than a dozen sailors.

Lorraine could do nothing, sighed, untied his tuxedo and solemnly handed it over to Carmen.

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

The sailors jumped up with shouts.

……

Set up a bureau, plot assassination, block killing

Cliff castle is more than ten kilometers away from the West Bank wharf. There are inaccessible forests and cliffs all the way. From time to time, killers will emerge from the shadow and attack Lorraine.

These only strong sailors were not a qualified threat in Lorraine's eyes, but he was burning with heart disease, carrying an umbrella sword, and couldn't help walking faster and faster with Carmen.

Carmen can't keep up

"President, wait..."

With a cry of surprise, Lorraine picked her up and began to run.

He only held her in his left hand and carried a sword in his right hand. With his height difference and strong arms, he made her half sit and half lean on her and run wildly.

Carmen felt as if he had been kidnapped by a fine horse. The shadows of the trees on both sides were retreating rapidly, and his body fluctuated with Lorraine's steps

In order not to fall, she could only try her best to hold Lorraine's neck, and the whole person almost fell soft on Lorraine.

Her face flushed and her voice was like a mosquito: "president, I can do it myself..."

"You're too slow." Lorraine was a little impolite, stretched his arm and hugged Carmen more tightly. "Villen is a madman. I'm worried about the butterfly..."

"How dare he attack English merchant ships in ports sheltered by the Royal British navy?"

"Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of..."

Just as he was saying this, a sailor jumped down from the fork of a tree beside him, holding up his knife and slashing Carmen in Lorraine's arms.

Lorraine didn't have time to dodge. He turned sideways and took the knife with his back!

Poof! The sharp blade tore open his vest and shirt, leaving a long wound on his back. The bright red blood came out in an instant, and half of his clothes had been dyed through his breath.

Lorraine frowned, took a half step forward and stabbed back.

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

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

"Shouting is not helpful to stop bleeding and relieve pain!" Lorraine gnashed his teeth and continued to move forward, "if you are afraid, close your eyes."

Go all the way, kill all the way.

Just ten kilometers away, Lorraine killed more than 20 people with Carmen in her arms. She accidentally got a knife on her back and drove for more than two hours. Finally, outside the port, she saw the first fleet moored quietly on the wharf.

Everybody... Safe.

Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. The fatigue and pain on his back after killing all night almost made him fall to the ground.

The hand holding Carmen was loose.

Carmen landed and hurriedly held him. It took nine cattle and two tigers to face the stunned eyes of the whole ship and carry the bloody Lorraine back to the butterfly flower.

The deck became chaotic.

Haina flew to catch Lorraine, and her emerald eyes were full of killing intention.

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

"Veron... Veron Desai is a madman. He arranged many people to rob and kill us on the road... The president in order to protect me..."

"Haina..." Lorraine suddenly said, "issue an order and immediately let Ramos take over the command..."

He leaned weakly on Haina and shook his head weakly to wake himself up.

"Tell Ramos that the fleet doesn't leave the port from the shore, and there should be people at the lookout all night... Be careful of the reindeer of villen... Stay through tonight and wait for dawn..."
