On the sunny slope of Lucy Manor near the pier, three new and neat red-roofed buildings are a new landscape.

They are the residences of the estate's three dockmasters.

It's a weekend, and it's far from being as quiet as usual, with children's laughter filling the corners of the house and the lights of reunion dancing between every mullions.

Aoife is experimenting with Monica's makeup.

She sat down at Monica's dresser, sitting upright, letting Monica fiddle with her pretty face, and then looking at the strange look behind the makeup, the young girls hugging each other and screaming.

Enough laughing, enough fuss, Aoife lay on Monica's bed with her sideburns scattered, and Monica looked at her with malice as she held the back of her chair.

"Aoye, I heard that today, you lost the gift from Mr. Judea?"

"Huh?" Aoife sat up in shock in his dying illness, "You...... How did you hear that! ”

"You forgot? On the weekends, I would work as a tutor at the manor, teaching the Indians literacy, and I was hired independently. ”

"Oh! Those lowly ......"

"You're swearing, lady butler." Monica smiled slyly, "Aophee, teach me, how can I capture the hearts of good men?" ”

"Excellent? Heart? Aoife's red face was full of sluggishness, "Monica, have you been misled by something strange, such as ...... Indians? ”

Monica was even more confused than Ofie: "You are, my friend!" Don't you think Mr. Judea is not good? Under the age of 20, he is already a core seafarer of Drake, directly enjoying the shares of the General Chamber of Commerce, and his status is analogous to that of a board member. I heard my father say that he had joined the navy and was a colonel before he left the army, and the chairman commented that he was the best helmsman in the world, and it was because of his talent that he took great pains to dig him out of the navy! ”

"This man...... Really starving? ”

Monica felt like she was going crazy: "Then you say, what is your impression of him?" ”

"It's dirty, it smells, it's not clean in the mouth, and it's bad in the heart. He can eat a hundred pounds in a meal, he has no virtue in his body, and he eats and waits for death on the ship by virtue of his relationship with the master, and he is a scoundrel among scoundrels. ”

"Are you serious?"

Aoife tilted his head and thought seriously, "Probably...... Let's gather like things. The pagan master has the worst heart, has a vicious brain that has been blessed by the devil, and there are some strange monsters gathered around him. The snarky little kids, the sneaky and evil witches, the Frenchman who takes a different woman back to the manor every day, the shaver who is always mixing strange potions. Lady Yesra is the only one who is different from them, righteous and sassy, but unfortunately she is also a heretic and a black ...... No, it's Egyptian. ”

For the first time, Monica doubted her good friend's eyes......

"Aophee, can you take the liberty of asking, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"You? Very good, I love it. ”

"It's not such a comment, it's like just now, scathing."

"Why do you suddenly want to hear me scold you? I wouldn't have cursed anyone, but if I go against my will......"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a sharp whistle wafting in the air, one after another, short and lean.

She suddenly reacted, and it didn't seem that she had seen the annoying Dylan tonight, not even Barto, who liked to sit at the door and drink, and Hill, who liked to sleep on the roof.

Three pesky old fellows disappeared when they were not on duty, but the three ladies showed no suspicion.

This represents......

Aoife jumped up with a snort: "Monica, where's your father?" ”

"Father?" Monica was stunned, "It seems that I heard from my mother that the president is preparing for a night flight tonight, and they must be going to direct the Charon to leave port, right?" ”

"Ahh That wicked heretic! He's going to run again! ”

……

The slender pier is a busy scene as far as the eye can see.

People come and go, shoulders and hands.

Lorraine decided to start smuggling on the fly, and the whole Lucy estate showed no signs of panic.

In the afternoon, the pigeon, the double-schooner Cage clipper, which was used for correspondence, left Lucy Fishing Harbour first.

The boat, which was formerly a shrimp fishing boat, is just over 5 meters long, has four sailors, can be sailed and paddled, and has an average speed of 7 knots in various wind conditions, with a maximum speed of nearly 14 knots.

At that rate, it would take her less than two days to get to New Orleans, and the letter would be delivered to Carmen as soon as tomorrow evening.

And in the evening, it was Charon's turn to set sail.

The Charon was the last large Slupp single schooner to make a trip to Lorraine, with a length of 15 meters and a crew of 20 people, with a minimum of 6 people.

The characteristics of this kind of ship are that it can have stable performance in a variety of wind conditions, the speed, steering, and wave resistance are all modest, and the sailors are required to be few, but the supporting cabins are large.

Most of the time, these boats are used as fishing boats on the edge of the continental shelf, and are considered to be the cheapest of the offshore fishing boats, but also the most shabby and the least likely to plunder.

Lorraine took a fancy to her shabby and adaptable nature, and used her as a ferryboat to connect the Jackdaw to Lucy Manor, connecting the two "strongholds".

In this way, Lorraine was able to control the location of the disguise at sea.

Lorraine. Drake will not appear in any form in the realm under Edward's control, the future smuggler Edward. Nor would Kenway have anything to do with the young English maritime merchants.

At around 9 p.m., Lorraine, Henna, Pierce, Noah, Yacharin, Daniel, and the unconscious Bell appeared together.

Dylan ran up with a whistle in his mouth, peeked at Bell lying on the cart, and stood solemn.

"President, the preparation of the Charon can be completed in half an hour, and it is expected that by 10 o'clock at the latest, the ship will be able to leave the port normally."

Lorraine laughed apologetically: "On a whim, I'm sorry to trouble you." ”

"We apologize for not being ready to leave the port at any time!"

"I don't have a position to blame you." Lorraine waved her hand, "Prepare a spacious cabin for Daniel and Bell, and they'll live together." ”

"Yes!"

The things that need to be explained are simple, discuss the destination with the captain of the Charon, put Bell and Daniel on board like cargo, and the rest of the people rest in the dock hut to wait for the final preparations for the voyage.

As a result, before the preparations for the voyage were completed, the anxious Aoife crashed into the hut first.

"God, sir, you want to run away again?"

"What do you mean by running away?" Lorraine rolled her eyes angrily, "Ofie, the British butler is not going to go on a rampage like you. ”

"It must be because they haven't met a master who won't say goodbye at any time!" Offie took a few breaths, "Master, as a ......"

Bang!

Monica and Dylan smashed into the hut one after the other, and when they saw the room full of seafarers passing the time by themselves, and Lorraine and Ofie who were fighting each other, they all rubbed their hands together in embarrassment.

Aoife was surprised: "Monica, why are you here?" ”

Lorraine took up the conversation depressedly: "The assistant teacher is probably afraid that I will behave badly with my housekeeper, as for the dock keeper......"

Dylan snapped and saluted: "The subordinates are worried that the little girl will disturb the president's elegance!" ”

"Look, that's it." Lorraine spread her hands helplessly.

Aoife and Monica blushed, and Monica waved her hand again and again: "No, President, I want to stop Aoife......"

"Why did you stop her?"

"Because ......"

Aofei raised his hand to block Monica's words, and looked back at Lorraine with awe: "Master, as the liaison between the General Chamber of Commerce and the Branch Chamber of Commerce, I have the obligation to remind you that it is your responsibility to explain your location at any time and keep your subordinates in contact unobstructed!" ”

"I think that as a capitalist who pays everybody, I have the right to do whatever I want."

"Nope! It's your obligation to pay your salary, and so is your decision when it comes to critical issues. ”

"But I delegated carte blanche to Chuck on the affairs of the chapter. President Parker and Vice President Leonard, with the exception of a few issues related to the survival of the club, can make a decision. ”

"But there are still a handful of matters that matter to the survival of the club, aren't they? Although President Parker is a hateful person, there is a sentence that I agree with, in the face of capital, no one is free! ”

Acharin whistled appreciatively.

Lorraine glared at him hatefully, turned her head, and feigned deep thought.

After a delay of more than a minute, Lorraine raised her head: "Miss McCarthy......"

"Aoife!"

"I'm talking to a liaison, not my butler."

Aoife puffed out his cheeks, but finally acquiesced to the change of title.

Lorraine cleared her throat and continued: "First of all, congratulations on your success in convincing me. ”

"Secondly, I am sorry to tell you that your request is difficult for the strongman."

Aoife had a not-so-good premonition: "Why? ”

"Because ......," Lorraine dragged, "even I don't know where I'm going next." ”

"Huh?"

"The Amazon jungle is huge, and the Mayans built a great civilization there. I'm going to look for their pyramid, but even if I do, I can't guarantee that it's the Feather Temple I'm looking for, so I don't know where I'm going. ”

"Feather ...... Feather what? ”

"Feather Temple." Lorraine waved her hands, "The Mayans believed in the sun and believed that a strange snake with bird feathers was the messenger of the sun. They built pyramidal temples to worship it, and the sacrifices were gold, lots and lots of gold. ”

Aoye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously agreed: "Many, many...... Gold? ”

"Lots and lots of gold."

Just when Lorraine was almost at the end of his words, Hill's report came from outside the door: "President, the card ring is ready to leave the port!" ”

"Great!" Lorraine picked up the belt with the long knife on the side of the wall, and said to Aoife with a smile, "When I find the temple, I'll ask Bell to bring you the statue of the Feather God, and that's it." ”

The seafarers laughed and followed the lorraine, and it was only when they were all done that Aoifi reacted.

"Wait! You still haven't told me where you're going! Also, why do you have to give it to me from the hungry ghosts! ”

Of course, no one paid attention to her at all.

In the middle of the night, Lucy was full of nature, and not far away came the shouts and responses of the ships leaving the port, lingering around the hut for a long time.

Monica stared dumbfounded at her furious friend.

"Aoife...... You're such an amazing girl in every way...... It's true. ”
