The study is very dark.

Although the spring is bright outside the house, light cannot penetrate into the house because of the curtains being drawn. Naturally, the candles on the chandelier are not enough to replace the sky light. All that can be done is to make the house "visible".

Count Galvez sat on the sofa in the middle of the house with a dignified manner, with his back to Lorraine, and behind him stood the bloodless Knight Erot with his arms dangling, smiling at Lorraine.

Thanks to Daniel's superb medical skills, two of the six guards who were injured that day successfully avoided postoperative infection, and Eero was one of them.

According to Daniel, his wound healed very quickly, and the fixation could be removed within two months at most, without leaving any future troubles.

On the other side, the sailors who had been treated harshly by Lorraine also carried over with their fate, and only one of them had a slight infection, which made Lorraine feel the miracle of life.

That is a digression.

Daniel's treatment drew Eero out of the ghost gate. The loyal knight took heart in his heart and regarded Lorraine and his group as friends, especially with the rigorous Karen, and the friendship progressed rapidly.

Seeing Lorraine entering the door, he smiled and hinted Lorraine to sit opposite the earl with his eyes.

This kind of gentle attitude further confirmed Lorraine's guess that the earl told him to do business, not because of Catalina, to ask Lorraine Xingshi.

Lorraine became more calm, tidying up the dress on his body, leaning in front of the earl and bowing: "My lord earl, I haven't seen you in two days."

"The tea that Bethfannie makes is delicious, do you like it?"

Lorraine shook his head helplessly: "I heard that it is the latest Kenya, but unfortunately, I never taste the quality of tea."

"Mr. Kenway, who doesn't know how to drink tea..." The earl played with the emerald on his thumb. "From the morning you got up until now, you changed three sets of dresses. Last night, you refused Bethfannie's arrangement to wait for you to sleep. Maid. May I ask, which noble family do you come from?"

"People need packaging." Lorraine smiled and sat on the sofa upright, hugging Erlang's legs, "Kenya black tea is bright in color and tastes sweet. I like to drink it with a spoonful of sugar and two spoons of milk. This will not destroy the aroma of the tea itself, and can effectively synthesize the astringency of the tea."

He spread his hands together and put on a face: "Look, if I need to, I can understand black tea very well. It's just that the tea is in my mouth, whether I like it or not, will not affect my respect for you and your wife. No need for it."

The earl was determined to watch Lorraine for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "You make sense."

"Thank you for your approval."

The earl waved his hand: "I heard that you have a beautiful first mate whose name is... Donna Linka, Spanish?"

"Yes."

"Why should a woman be given such an important position?"

"Because she is suitable." Lorraine didn't want to answer. "She has a wealth of sailing experience, is familiar with the Caribbean, and has a good ship. She is willing to treat me as the captain and keep herself safe."

"Keep yourself safe?" The count was surprised for a moment. "This is the most unique adjective I have ever heard and used for pirates."

The atmosphere condensed suddenly.

Lorraine looked at the earl's eyes calmly, and the earl looked back without evasiveness, all silent.

The earl took the initiative to break the silence: "What? Can't think of a sophistry?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to make it so straightforward."

"Because I don't like roundabouts." The count stood up triumphantly and walked to the bar. "What would you like to drink?"

"Whiskey with ice, thank you."

The sound of ice cubes colliding with the glass came from behind, and Lorraine sat on the sofa peacefully, and Ero kept winking at him, probably to make him confess more liberally.

But Lorraine didn't know what he could confess.

There are many secrets in his heart. The earl who can tell the earl should know it, and Lorraine does not intend to tell him what the earl doesn't know.

Having nothing to do, he began to guess why the earl had arranged the room so dark.

He may not like sunshine.

The possibility of this guess is unlikely, because human beings are born with the attribute of light. What's more, the windows of the study are in perfect position, which not only guarantees enough light, but also does not have the angle of direct sunlight.

Then he is avoiding something.

The shot 150 meters away from Pierce made the assassin gang add one or even a few hunters. The count has captured assassins and old taverns in his hands, which means he should understand now, Pierce’s shot. It wasn't the shot missed, but it was intentional to startle the horse, which was extremely accurate.

Lorraine did not know exactly when the concept of snipers began to appear, but from the current world, the French and Americans have already raised the threat of hunting soldiers to an infinitely high level.

The Americans even have a dedicated Kentucky hunting squad. On the battlefield in Saratoga, the ace shooter Timothy Murphy of this squad shot and killed the British general Simon Fraser 300 meters away. , Completely established the victory of this crucial battle.

So most likely, Earl Galves was afraid of the hunters who might be hiding in the woods. In order to prevent these ghostly death gods from catching his figure, he pulled up the curtains and hid himself in secret.

Fear tormented him.

In this game, he can't hold on for long.

After a while, the earl returned to the sofa with two glasses of wine and put one in front of Lorraine: "Tell me, Mr. Kenway, what made you decide to leave the land and float to the sea?"

"There is no special reason. I just want to eat clean food, buy a house that can shelter from wind and rain, and live a decent life."

"So you left everything and went to Port of Spain, and you were lucky enough to get the ship and meet a group of brave crew members?"

"Father said, don't call his name directly." Lorraine abruptly led out a paragraph of the Bible, "Father protects my destiny, rushes for my needs, and fulfills my wish."

"All glory goes to the top?"

"Otherwise, I can't explain my good luck. After all, I haven't been out to sea for a long time." Lorraine spread his hands, "I firmly believe that I have a goddess."

"God..." The earl held the wine glass and muttered this word solemnly, "Perhaps the so-called truth is so simple. We have the omnipotent Lord, and he is the embodiment of all miracles."

The earl's faith is very pious, this is the information Lorraine had received before.

Looking at it now, he has just taken advantage of this. It is easier for mad believers to communicate with mad believers. Lorraine's words of pretending to be a fool can only be of reference value in the eyes of mad believers.

The atmosphere of the meeting began to become relaxed and pleasant.

The earl relaxed his posture, shaking his glass and looking at Lorraine: "Mr. Kenway, what do you think of me in your heart?"

Lorraine pondered for a while before spitting out two words gently: "Jan of Arc."

"Master Saint?"

"The saint dedicated everything she has to France~lightnovelpub.net~ but she didn't get the reward she deserved. Her experience is very similar to yours. From the moment I receive the news, I firmly believe that someone needs to come forward. Revolt against the Duke of Badvoort, instead of letting such a person send you and France into the abyss of defeat."

"Why didn't you notify me before the incident?"

"I can't see you."

Lorraine took out a small piece of wooden plaque from his pocket. It was taken during the planning process. It read [281]. That is, on the earl’s appointment schedule, there were 280 smuggling merchants in front of Lorraine.

The earl looked at the wooden sign blankly and took a deep breath: "If I hire you and your crew as my temporary guard, if... what do you want?"

"Charleville rifle." Lorraine cut the line firmly, "I want my people to go all out for you, I need a suitable reason."
