Because Lorraine was supposed to be exploring the jungles of the Amazon in name only, he and Henna did not appear directly at the Chamber of Commerce's exchange when they arrived in Hamilton, but secretly met with the exchange's manager and settled down in a scenic beach house adjacent to Harrington Bay.

Listen to the ebb and flow of the tide, and sit and watch the clouds roll up.

Lorraine had heard that the villa was the private property of the Undersecretary of the Continental Fleet, and it was evident that with Chuck's connections, the Chamber of Commerce had established itself in Bermuda for a short time, but the various connections were good.

Lorraine and Henna settled down, estimating the time of Leonard's arrival while sending the local manager to investigate Chris. Emmons' message.

Outcome...... Lorraine didn't know if the news was unexpected.

Emmons was a Bermuda celebrity, lieutenant admiral, and admiral.

I heard that he was already an officer under Shaq when he served as the Sea Lion, and then he worked on the Wanderer and the Lion, even among the lineage, he was also a rare veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his business was extremely capable, and he was nicknamed "Shaq's Compass".

Shaq is best known for his round-shaped area defense tactics, the so-called Shaq's compass, the meaning is self-evident.

Shaq also made no secret of his preference for him.

Emmons was a corrupt staff officer, a gambler, a gambler, unmarried, unrestrained in spending, and borrowing usury to cope with profligacy when his salary was insufficient.

He has been thrown on a reef and buried in a grave for loan sharking, and at least twice accused of reselling intelligence and military supplies, but both times have been stopped by Shaq's intervention.

Lorraine didn't know what Shaq kept such a living treasure for, but insiders generally said that the personal relationship between the two parties was not close, and it could even be said that there was no personal relationship at all.

Even in the field of work, Shaq relied on him and guarded against him, never allowing him to easily grasp the actual power.

Amazing!

Lorraine sipped her coffee and smashed her mouth.

Chris. Emmons's character is completely capable of selling intelligence, and with his involvement in the defense of the fleet, he is fully able to know most of the information requested by Bell without any assistance.

In addition, there is an important corroborative evidence.

The manager told Lorraine that in order to erase the original copy of the trial for which Bell was wanted, Chuck contacted Emmons through a friend, and then went to the archives of the Royal Navy dockyard through his connections, and destroyed all traces with his own hands......

If even this is premeditated, then in Bell's game, Shaq's premeditation is too deep.

Shaq...... I'm raising snakes. Lorraine handed over the thick pile of information to Henna, "Henna, do you want to do him a favor and let that Emmons evaporate from the world?" ”

Henna flipped through the report and didn't raise her head: "That depends on the information we have, if it's really useful, it's okay to raise it for a few more days." ”

"Makes sense."

……

On 6 August, exactly six days after arriving in Hamilton, Lorraine finally received news from Leonard.

It was reported that his ship would arrive at the dock this afternoon, and in order to allow him to work as quickly as possible, Lorraine decided to go to the dock and wait for him himself.

Horse-drawn carriages weave through the streets of Hamilton, winding, neat and undulating. Bermuda is a distant island, and it is difficult to find a flat and solid land on the whole island, so almost all of its towns and villages are built on uneven mountainous land, with winding paths and secluded paths.

The architecture here has its own unique style.

The island has a white roof, and under the pure white roof are bright and colorful walls, and even the military and political buildings and churches and schools are delicate and lively.

The building materials are mostly made of volcanic rock polished into bricks, which are light and strong, and the natural foam-like holes have the miraculous effect of sound insulation and warmth, making it easy to find a quiet and peaceful place to live on the island.

The pure white roof is also made of volcanic rock, often made into a unique pyramid ladder, with layers of sharp edges and corners.

As a British Overseas Dominion, Bermuda was extremely wealthy among the American colonies. This abundance, made possible by the abundance of cypress trees and the inexhaustible supply of sea salt, is a testament to Britain's ability to govern its overseas colonies.

In 1503, like most of the American territories, it was first taken by the Spaniards. Bermuda is found in the vast deep sea.

However, the Spaniards, who were good at associating, imagined the shrill cries of the Bermuda petrels as the murmur of the devil, and were reluctant to stay on the island for long.

The same goes for the Portuguese.

In 1543, a Portuguese merchant ship ran aground in the area, and the survivors spent four months building a new hull out of the cypress trees before fleeing the uninhabited archipelago that terrified them.

Until 1609, he was accompanied by Francis. Drake's voyage around the world with Summers leading a fleet out of England and being wrecked in the Bermuda Sea on his way to the Virginia colony allowed the survivors to truly put down roots in the archipelago. And Shun

The British loved Devil's Island and the following year established the Samos Colonial Company to declare the archipelago a colony, and two years later in 1612, they officially began colonizing the island.

Navigation, sea salt, logging based on artificial cypress planting, and limited agriculture, the British developed this desolate and harsh island to the extreme, and it only took more than a hundred years for her to become a paradise in the Americas, and the Spaniards who had given up on her earlier fell through their glasses.

Henna especially likes the quietness.

Halfway through the car, she simply stopped the carriage, led Lorraine out of the car, and walked slowly along the paved green path.

"Lorraine, remember the last time you took a lazy walk like this?"

Lorraine thought for a long time.

"Hebasil?"

"That's a killing!"

Lorraine was a little uncomfortable with Henna's occasional emotionality, so she immediately admitted it and thought about it for a long time.

"Ahh It's Bahiba! ”

Henna stomped her feet angrily: "That time I was separated, you wandered around alone for a long time, and you picked up Caterina back." ”

"Oh...... That Kaha? ”

"Do you call rock climbing a walk? Or is it the rapid march that followed the robbery? ”

"You remember that clearly......" Lorraine touched her nose in embarrassment.

Henna blushed slightly, lowered her head, and smiled: "In Bermeo, those days were really leisurely. ”

As soon as Henna told her, Lorraine also remembered the days at the beginning of her business.

With only four men and a boat, the glass brought from Northern Europe could not be sold, and Lorraine took henna around the streets, from one small arch to another......

A smile casually crept up Lorraine's face: "Come to think of it, you especially like flamenco in the Sara Department." ”

"At that time, the white ears smelled fishy and haunted you, and you asked Noah if he could ride a broomstick."

"Witches...... Wouldn't the legendary witches ride broomsticks......"

"It's a fairy tale!" Henna nodded Lorraine's forehead word by word, "I didn't expect you to believe in the vicious fairy tales of white people." ”

Sudden intimacy.

The soft fingers touched his forehead, and Lorraine accepted and responded in a daze, not knowing what kind of feedback she should give, let alone what kind of feedback was appropriate.

Don't...... A up?

The noisy music sounded at the end of the street at the right time, startling the ill-intentioned Lorraine and Henna, who didn't know how to end the scene.

The two of them naturally ended the process of dotting and being pointed, leaned against the wall in unison, and watched a group of colorful dancers dancing by the gods.

Henna looked curiously at the dancers who were unattended: "They're ...... Rom? ”

"Confusing this weird dance move with flamenco, Noah will be angry." Lorraine laughed and cried, "They should be dancing Gombo, it's popular in a lot of places in the Caribbean, I saw Indians skipping in Lucy when they celebrated, you know, they have a lot of celebrations." ”

Thinking of the lively Indians in the manor, Henna also laughed: "Is Gumbo the dance of the Indians?" ”

The word Gambo comes from the indigenous language of inter-tribal communication in East Africa, which originally meant celebration. I guess this dance was probably brought by the black slaves who were trafficked, but I don't know what qualifications they have to start the celebration on the plantation. ”

"Qualifications......," Henna bit her lip, "perhaps, it's a white man's curiosity, right?" ”

"Actually, it's more likely to be malicious." Lorraine picked up Henna again, "Let's say all the slaves jump and shoot the one who jumps the worst." ”

"What a senseless killing."

"There are a lot of meaningless things in this world, but only when you have them can people have the right to invent cruel games."

"Yes...... Sure enough, it's boring. ”
