Meet your old friends in a foreign land!

Long time no see!

Fate to meet thousands of miles away!

The man Jacques saw was none other than Mr. James, a former teacher at Eve College in Port Mousse.

Although the two sides have communicated many times, it is a pity that they have not met before, and this time Jacques happened to see James sitting at the table.

Lily knew that James had cut the rope during the third-year training and wanted the enraged walrus to crush Jacques and the others into meatloaf, but after finding out that Jacques had disappeared for no reason, she ran away and disappeared.

Jacques took a closer look, and James also had an acquaintance by his side, Rupert who had escaped from the City Guard!

Despite his beard, his face was still recognizable.

The two of them were still biting their ears to exchange something, and they looked very familiar.

Now Jacques wondered, how could they be together?

In order to avoid being discovered, Jacques simply pulled Lily away from the other direction, hiding in the corner and observing the two men.

Lily had also met Rupert, and when she learned that the bearded man was Rupert, she was very confused that the two could get together.

Jacques couldn't figure out why James had come to a desperate situation, which had bothered him for a long time, and finally had to be resolved.

But this time I saw him with Rupert, and I had a conjecture, could he also be a member of the Mithril Society?

However, he didn't reveal his identity at all, and he didn't know that he was the son of Paul Blackflame, so it was impossible for the people of the Mithril Society to carry out such an anticlimactic assassination.

Jacques believed that the Mithril Society would not connect him, a boy from Port Mousse, with the son of Paul Blackfire, at least until he arrived in Yorktown.

There's another reason over there!

If it weren't for someone from the Mithril Society, Jacques thought of Rupert's other identity, Stuart's spy!

If James is linked to the Stuart spy, there may be a glimmer of possibility, maybe his target at the time was not himself, it could be Fabian or Alixia.

Anyway, Jacques would love to figure it out, how?

Scout Fat Orange!

So Jacques and Lily dragged Marianne, who was trying to turn the book away, said goodbye to Mark, who planned to stay overnight, and left in Mark's steam car, but in the cubicle of the casino toilet, Jacques beckoned Fat Orange and stayed behind to quietly follow Rupert and James.

Fat Orange was squatting outside the casino window, looking at the two gamblers through the glass, feeling very bored.

......

James and Rupert didn't really care about the situation at the table, they just threw a few chips at random, and didn't care if they won or lost. They're actually waiting for a notification, waiting for the next move.

Ever since Rupert lost his ship and the family money he had accumulated over the years, the two of them had nowhere to go like lost dogs.

In the end, Rupert had no choice but to defect to Storm, hoping that with his support he could carry on his mission.

Storm was very happy to meet these two fallen fellows, and this was the perfect opportunity to poach an enforcer from the Great Elder.

So he asked Eliza to play Rupert's old friend, and paid for Rupert to arrange for Rupert to return to Stuart.

But the two were stopped again before boarding the boat, and it turned out that James's old superiors were about to come to York City and needed their cooperation in the follow-up!

Since the two of them could not go, they needed to find a safe place to hide, and the Moulin Rouge became their first choice, and Eliza was happy to accept them, so she went down the donkey to see what the Stuart spies wanted to do.

The contact person finally arrived a few days ago, and they were asked to prepare manpower and sea vessels to cooperate with the follow-up operation.

Where do they become more effective?

I had to ask the old man to do it again, borrowed a sum of money to get a ship, and got a few seafaring experienced anchors from the Moulin Rouge. As long as the two of them can perform well in front of the old leaders, they may be able to go further in the MI, which is an investment!

With the ships and men ready, the two of them have been waiting for the next announcement.

The wait was boring, the two stayed up boredly at the table, while Fat Orange squatted out the window in boredom.

Towards midnight, when the boredom was over, one of them hurried up to James, whispered a few words, and the two followed the man away, not even the chips on the table.

So Fat Orange followed the three of them all the way to a small dock, and followed them to a medium-sized merchant ship.

It didn't take long for all the crew to get off the ship, and soon more than a dozen people came, inspected all the boats, and set sail.

Fat Tangerine was bored again, just a trip to sea, there was no cargo on board, and there were not many supplies prepared, so he could only last for about a week.

Waking up Jacques, who was sleeping with Lily in his arms, Fat Orange asks to return and end the boring tracking.

Jacques thought about it for a moment and said, "Fat orange, you go to the chart room and see their sailing routes, and if there is nothing special, come back." ”

There was no one in the chart room, and Fat Orange sneaked in quietly and lay on the chart to study it carefully.

Jacques and Fat Orange looked at it for a while, and found that they were going to some sea fifty miles east of Yorktown, and then they were gone.

After calculating that he could still bring Fat Orange back for fifty miles, Jacques persuaded Fat Orange to see what they were going to do.

......

Fifty miles by sea, the three-masted medium-sized merchant ship traveled for the night.

At dawn, the fat orange who was squatting on the mast saw a forest of masts in the sky, and the sun jumped out of the sea and picked up the top of the mast.

Giant battleships!

Eight ships!

All tall three-masted sails, multi-deck, and dense wooden doors on the sides of the ship.

Although it was the first time he had seen such a ship, he had long heard in the newspapers about their famous "Dreadnought-class" battleship, the largest ship in the Duchy of Stuart!

As for the wooden doors on the side of the ships, Fat Orange had seen the artillery, seen the illustrations in the Pirates of the Caribbean books, and knew that they were the muzzles of the cannons.

A simple count shows that there are forty guns on one side, and that is at least eighty in total!

A medium-sized merchant ship approached a large warship, resembling an elephant and a fawn. The merchant ship's side had barely reached the battleship's second-tier gun door, and the fat orange on the mast jumped onto the battleship's deck with a slight leap, while James and Rupert had to rely on the hook lock to get on.

At the helm of the stern, the two bowed to the man in a Stuart uniform, and said, "My subordinates have seen the director!"

The middle-aged man shook off the long chestnut hair of his shawl, his eyes were easy-going, and he said indifferently: "Don't call the director, I'm still the deputy director, it's not good for outsiders to hear, Winter will have ideas when he knows." ”

James said: "Director Michelle, we have been ordered to come and report, according to the envoy's fleet departing this morning. ”

"Okay! We've been waiting for them to leave for days!" the middle-aged man known as Director Michelle announced loudly, "Captain Daoke, send a message to the whole fleet and set sail! Alert! Carry out the original plan and sweep all the ships that see our fleet." ”
