In the afternoon, the two-masted Galen-type destroyer Golden Deer slowly sailed into Karisl Bay off the southwest coast of Barbados, following the pilot's flag, and stopped at a wide anchorage pier.

Compared to the town of Bahiba, this is a qualified resting place for sailors who have experienced the sea and adventure.

Lorraine gave the group a six-day break, and they had five days of free time, except for a group of sailors who took care of the ship on their shifts.

As the sailors cheered and flocked into the bustling port district, Donna watched coldly, becoming more and more convinced that Lorraine was a noble kid who had not been beaten by society.

She also followed Henna off the boat.

Because, according to Lorraine, those who stay on board for a long time lose their affinity for the land, so during the anchorage, the seafarers have to rent hotels in the harbor to recuperate, and although the rotation is inevitable, it has nothing to do with Donna.

Donna is increasingly looking forward to what Lorraine will look like after she is beaten by society.

Seeing off Donna and the seamen, Lorraine gathers on deck with Karen, Yacharin, and Carmen to discuss their next course of action.

Lorraine was responsible for the procurement of charts and sextants.

Clen had to go to the nearby dockyard to see if there was a suitable fifth-class foremast, and start repairing the Golden Deer directly.

Acharin was not allowed to get off the ship, and as a minion on the ship, he had to adapt to the wind and waves of the Caribbean Sea as soon as possible to ensure that his gunnery skills would not be unadaptable.

Carmen was to represent the Drake Chamber of Commerce in a call on the local Governor of Barbados.

Bridgetown is the seat of the Governorship of the British Windward Islands, and the Governor of Barbados is also the Governor of the Windward Islands.

This scattered island, which belongs to the southern arc of the Lesser Antilles and faces the northeast trade winds, is the most important transit terminal for the Atlantic route, even if the product is not abundant, it is still the core node of the New World route.

If the Chamber of Commerce wants to grow, it must get the trade license here, and this is Carmen's task.

After assigning their respective jobs, the four of them acted separately, and Lorraine stuck in his waist, and then officially stepped on Bridgerton's land.

From a European perspective, Bridgerton has a long history in the Caribbean.

In 1628, the British officially began construction of the island of Barbados.

The builders discovered a primitive bridge in the Garinech Marsh, which is believed to have been built by the Arawak people, an indigenous Caribbean Indian, who made it the center of the island.

They built a new bridge near the original bridge and built the town of St. Michael, also known as Bridgetown, around the bridge.

Bridgerton, in English, means "Indian Bridge".

With its prime location and wide, sheltered bay, the town grew within a few years, and Bridgerton's nickname spread far more than St. Michael's, and over time, the new governor did not know the town's real name, and in all official documents, it was called Bridgerton.

Thus St. Michael became Bridgerton.

So, as long as the British have been in Barbados, this bustling town has a long history.

More than 150 years of colonial history have given birth to a series of exquisite small buildings with a history of 100 years, red walls, white walls, blue tiles, black tiles, simple and bright architectural style, Georgian slender windows stretching all the way, making people feel like they have returned to Plymouth, England.

Lorraine managed to find a nautical shop on the street and bought a new sextant and a copy of the Royal Cartographic Office edition of the Caribbean Atlas, still new from 1770.

He was so pleased with his harvest that he headed back to study his newly-arrived charts.

On the other side, the Doge's Palace......

Carmen jumped out of the carriage with the help of the sailor, shook the lace-bound gold bone fan with her hand, and half-covered her face, and shook it gently.

For this important PR, she chose a pure purple lace dress with a high neck, long sleeves, white gloves with silk and dark brown leather boots, and did not show any skin beyond her face.

On the face is the purest Hanoverian lady makeup.

The pearls are crushed and mixed with mutton fat to make rouge, and the whole face is snow-white like a wall, covering the eyebrows.

Then put on the eyebrows with thick false eyebrows stitched with beaver mouse hair, and the long false eyebrows are pressed upwards, almost reaching the hairline.

Her lipstick chose the most vivid vermilion, with sharp, slender and feminine lips.

The snow-white face is also pasted with gold leaf, silver foil and some dyed colored colored paper, and the shape is stars, moons, flowers, and fish, which are colorful and eye-catching.

She also wore an exaggerated wig.

The silver wig was half a meter tall like a mountain, decorated with flowers, fresh fruits, gold and silver, and coral, and the temples were hung with small and bright carrots, and a few strands of silk hung down from the forehead, hanging just right in front of the eyes, swaying gently in the wind.

Dressed like this, Carmen essentially gave up the ability to communicate on the move.

However, she didn't need to socialize with the guards guarding the door, she just needed to quietly shake her fan, watch her sailor walk up to the guards, and proudly said, "This gentleman, is your governor here?" ”

The guards of the Governor's Palace, who spoke out of the serf class in England, looked at Carmen nervously and swallowed: "Sir, the Governor is in the building. ”

"Lady Xavier is an old friend of the Governor, and she has come to visit a friend today, and I am tired of spreading the news."

"This ...... Does this distinguished lady have an appointment? ”

The sailor was furious, glanced at the rank of the guard out of the corner of his eyes, and scolded in a deep voice: "Corporal, Lady Xavier has a busy schedule. If you miss that half hour, I promise, you'll go to the plantation tomorrow and chop sugar cane with a bunch of dark-skinned people, for ...... Forever! ”

"Yes sir!" The guard snapped and saluted, "Here it goes, sir!" ”

"Run forward, corporal!"

"Yes! Run forward! ”

"Wait!" The guard turned and ran into the governor's palace, and before he had run two steps, the sailor suddenly stopped him, "By the way, who is your governor?" ”

"Neville. Carlisle, sir! ”

"Okay...... Run forward, corporal! ”

"Ahh Be! Be! ”

Three minutes later, Carmen, with all the honor written on her face, was respectfully invited into Governor Carlisle's private reception room.

The mellow Governor Carlisle stuck his fingers in his eyes and watched Carmen sit down on the couch in a dignified manner, and said uncertainly, "Lady Xavier." The guard said that you claimed to be my old friend, but I had never known such a beautiful lady as you. ”

Carmen covered her mouth with a golden bone fan, and put on a dignified smile with only her eyes: "We have never met, sir." ”

"That is, you deliberately deceived my guards with your honor?"

"No, meeting is one way to get to know each other, but it's not the only way." Carmen glanced at the sailor, who opened a small wooden box and opened the lid at the governor.

"In the seventh century A.D., the coronation crown of a small state during the Western Saxon dynasty. I have consulted scholars in Southampton, and it is a pity that it is not the one that His Majesty Egbert was crowned on. But it's precious enough, isn't it? ”

The Governor's eyes were fixed on the crown, and he stared for a few moments before he pulled out his eyes: "Madame means ......"

"It's yours now, my Lord Governor." Carmen smiled, "It's the first time we've met, but I don't think it prevents us from building a friendship that's like an old friend." ”

"I disagree with you, ma'am. I always thought we had a true friendship. Governor Carlyle stood up, gently closed the box of the crown, and said to Carmen, "I have finally seen you today, as my friends have said, you are in a peerless style, and it is better to meet than to hear......
