Lorraine had never thought that the melodious orchestral music and the cruel whipping would complement each other.

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

"Mr. Kenway? Mr. Kenway?"

The philosophical fluttering emotion was pulled back by an unfamiliar and soft female voice, and Lorraine slowly returned to reality.

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

This is a precious piece of music. In Lorraine's impression, Bach's original piece should be the leading role of flute, violin and harpsichord.

But perhaps it is because there is no outstanding harpsichord in the orchestra maintained by Mrs. Kent, or perhaps her baritone is exceptional, and the original light concertos were boldly re-interpreted by the musicians.

The mid-bass area of ​​the Euphonium is much wider than the original instrumental music, resulting in a major change in the style of the entire tune, less elvish cheerfulness, instead, it is full of mature and charming fragrant fragrance, just like the one in front of Lorraine Beautiful manor owner.

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

The extreme sense of incompatibility, but also with a steady beat, the screaming drum beats and the music merged with the music, Lorraine's blank eyes gradually focused, and he saw clearly in front of him.

The manor is beautiful in spring, with nine long poles standing up and down on the pasture.

The longest one is on the corners, with a rope hanging from the top, dangling the black slave who abandoned his master at a critical moment.

Regardless of whether his behavior was a subconscious reflection or a deliberate conspiracy, he has now become a mass of dead flesh swaying in the wind, with no sound.

The other eight long poles were lined up in front of Lorraine. The top long rope hung up the guards who had given up rescue at the time. They were hung into a [Y] shape. For the people, even the imprisonment and counting have been subconsciously omitted.

This means that the standard for this caning is [satisfied].

The lynching had been going on for two days, and the hanged groom also hung up on the grass field for two days.

However, it shouldn't last that long.

In the first round of flogging, two guards accidentally admitted to taking bribes and demanded to collect evidence that the earl had monopolized the smuggling trade and distributed the source of goods without authorization.

As a result, things became out of control. Two people had already been killed, and the number of betrayers who had two hearts with the earl rose from two to seven.

It was totally out of Lorraine's expectations.

Because of this sudden episode, Lorraine and his party also affirmed that the manor had been idle for two days.

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

"Mr. Kenway? Mr. Kenway?" Mrs. Kent was holding the teapot with a strange and suspicious expression on her face.

Lorraine smiled faintly, covering up his previous absence.

"Madam." He gently pushed the empty cup in front of him in the direction of his wife, "I'm thinking about the war in the suburbs."

"With the earl, the Brits can't threaten the peace of New Orleans." The lady shook the pot at Lorraine. "This year's Kenya. Although the Brits have always lacked the elegance and romance of France, they must admit that they have a love for tea. Knowing the world is unparalleled, only the good tea they think is the real good tea."

The amber tea was poured into the cup, braving the scent of lingering aroma, Lorraine took a sip, suddenly remembered something, and frowned pretendingly.

"A farmer like me can't really taste the quality of tea. In my eyes, it is neither as spicy as spirits, nor as strong as coffee."

"Really..." The lady chuckled and put down the teapot with restraint. "The earl told me that you are an excellent smuggler, with a big ship that rides the wind and waves, and a crew member who is forbidden. I thought you would like to drink tea."

"In another five years, maybe, not yet."

"Because you are young?"

Lorraine smiled swiftly: "Young means rebellion. The world thinks good things. I really can't calm down and savor it."

The wife nodded in agreement: "I have to admit that I envy your way of life. This is the privilege of people who have escaped from the old class and have not yet joined the new class. It is called freedom."

"Isn't it called a nouveau riche or a hillbilly?"

"It's praise, not irony."

The two of them talked about unhealthy gossip one after another until the butler came over and whispered a few times in Mrs. Kent's ear, and then the lady put down the cup with a smile.

"The earl is back," she said.

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

"Your observation is very detailed."

Lorraine was shocked, and immediately calmed down.

"Saving people and assassination are only the front line. I have done everything that the killer has done. I believe that neither you nor the earl would think that I happened to pass there and I happened to help the earl out of danger, right?"

"Frank young man, frank and keen." The lady stood up, "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 had long been allowed to act freely within the short distance from the meadow to the study.

Halfway through, Karen approached him and took the opportunity of changing clothes to convey the latest news from the outside world to him.

Catalina sent information. Last night, the badly injured Eero Cavaliers led a team to seal up the old tavern, and all members of Bach and below were arrested.

Catalina judged that there was enough time for the earl to ask all the ins and outs of the assassination, including Catalina's identity and her role in the event.

This part of the development has always been in Lorraine's plan, including the costumes and roles of Acharin and Daniel, as well as the exposure of Catalina's identity.

Lorraine's goal is to establish a relatively long-term life and death support with the Earl. In order to achieve this goal, he must turn himself into the person most suitable for the Earl to entrust his safety.

Offering rewards and assassinations will make the count unable to trust strange smugglers and mercenaries, and the French nobles disguised by Acharin will bury the suspicion of the Baton Rouge Legion and other French sergeants in the count.

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

The registered owner of the Jackdaw is Donna Linka, and with the ability of the earl, it is only a matter of time to string this unnecessarily false identity with the Caribbean red-haired Caterina Debo.

Instead of deliberately concealing the risk of being detected in the process of cooperation, and giving up Catalina's social and contacts in New Orleans in order to conceal it, it is better to open up all these things generously from the beginning.

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

For Lorraine, this matter was innocent enough.

The identity of the wanted criminal is only valid for the Spanish authorities. The count’s enemy against the world is just a gift from the Spanish, and the possibility of a dog taking a mouse is close to zero.

The identity of the former pirate doesn't matter much.

Plowshare for swords!

In order to lure the plethora of pirates in the Caribbean into correcting evil, colonies of various countries have adopted this recruitment policy as a standard since the 1840s.

Every pirate who takes the initiative to wash his hands in the golden basin can be unconditionally pardoned and 35 acres of private land.

As a well-known big pirate, Catalina's situation must be special. But once this particularity is made public, it will only exchange her for a larger plowshare, not a gallows.

The handle in the earl's hand is nothingness, which 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 repeated the situation over and over again.

The earl seized the old tavern, which showed that he had sorted out the assassination chain from the assassin~lightnovelpub.net~ and successfully received all the information Lorraine wanted to give him, and took hold of the nominal handle.

The only surprise was that there were real people in the guard who had been bought out. This was beyond Lorraine's expectation. Fortunately, the plan would only be a positive push.

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

In this way, Lorraine who had refused the invitation of the old tavern, saved the life of the Earl, demonstrated combat effectiveness, and had the handle in the hands of the Earl was undoubtedly the most suitable guard candidate.

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

This means that if you take ninety-nine steps in a hundred steps, there is only one step left, and you will be successful!

Thinking of this, Lorraine clenched his fist secretly.

The first step of the project to retake Joan is about to succeed. This meeting will determine the future rewards!
