"Catch the lighthouse!"

"Request pilotage...... The light has been seen! ”

"Lower the sails and slow down into the fairway!"

"The pole is ready, and the Charon enters the reef beach."

The Charon sailed on a rocky beach, with its destination a kilometre away on a treacherous sandy beach.

It is also the property of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

The last time they went to sea for smuggling, there was no such link in the handover between Charon and Jackdaw, and the two sides met on the outskirts of Little Cayman, and Lorraine completed the transfer and disguise at sea.

But this time it's a little more troublesome than the last one......

Lorraine waited too long for news from Carmen, and as soon as she heard the news, she made the decision to go to sea, so that the reply was too late to reach Carmen.

Lucy is still some distance from New Orleans, and the Charon is not a maverick fast ship, and it takes time and cannot really guarantee the safety of Lorraine if it wants to cross half of the pirate-infested Caribbean.

No matter how he said it, he was also a big businessman with a net worth of more than 100,000 people, with hundreds of people's net worth tied to him, no matter how willful and adventurous he was, he had reached the age when he should figure out the difference between meaninglessness and fearlessness.

Going to New Orleans on a ship like the Charon?

In contrast, Little Cayman is the right meeting place.

On the one hand, the Cayman Islands are still a British colony.

This meant that from Jamaica to the Cayman Islands, the vast expanse of the British-owned sea was much calmer and safer than the rest of the Caribbean, where power was intertwined.

The pirates risked offending the Royal Navy to attack here, and the reason could only be that the prey was fat, not that they wanted to eat fish, but they didn't want to fish.

On the other hand, it is also related to geography.

Little Cayman is located between Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac in the middle of the island chain, with a protrusion in the middle of the island chain, and is relatively close to the Yucatan Strait leading to the Gulf of Mexico.

It was a gateway from Jamaica to New Orleans, and as a middleway option, it avoided the Jackdaw's penetration into the British sphere of influence and effectively reduced exposure.

It was an important solace for the British sailors who inevitably became thieves on board.

Combining all of the above, Little Cayman has become a phone booth in the hearts of all of Drake. Kent can transform into Superman through a phone booth, Lorraine. Drake can also transform into a Black Flag through this island.

But they still need to face a problem, cross-dressing can play a protective role in the chamber of commerce, but also make the connection of the itinerary there is a gap.

For example, now.

In Lucy, Lorraine met the right time to depart, and if he was any later, he might have been delayed by the Anglo-French talks in Havana, and sooner, New Orleans had not been able to complete the smuggling preparations.

However, the decision to set off was to be sent to North America by means of a communications ship, and it would take three to four days for the Jackdaw to reach Little Cayman, during which time the Charon could not remain afloat in the perilous sea.

Pirates, storms, passing by navies or maritime merchants who happen to be in a bad mood...... There are too many dangers in the oceans, and the Charon is too weak.

It is necessary to prepare a suitable place to stay, even if it is not used for a long time, and it will be the key to bridging the two lives of Lorraine and Edward at a critical time.

So from the beginning of the smuggling contract, Leonard took on a secret mission, socializing with the gentlemen of the Cayman Islands, choosing a location, and setting up a relay.

This private beach, sunk deep into the reef beach, is his result.

Commercially, this beach does not have any visible value.

Located on the northwest coast of Little Cayman, the site is full of reefs and shallow waters.

But it has villas, lighthouses, fresh water, a small private dock large enough to accommodate a Slupp boat, and a nice coastal market town more than ten kilometers away, which can replenish the basic necessities.

No one pays attention to it, in fact, it was originally one of the secret places for an English nobleman to spend his holidays and escape from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Lorraine was so pleased with the place that she received Leonard's secret letter and commissioned him to exchange it for an ancient set of gold artifacts, naming it the Crow's Nest Manor, and asking Clen to send someone to take care of everything in the estate and keep it in a ready state.

This is the first time that the Crow's Nest has been put into use.

After half an hour of entering the port, the Charon stopped anchor, and Lorraine and the others got off the ship and glanced at the calm seashore with the stars and moon.

"When you retire, it seems like a good idea to come to this kind of place to spend your old age." Lorraine stretched her waist pleasantly.

Yacharin spat in disgust: "After retirement, I will live back in Paris, and there is no point in losing a prosperous life." ”

Pierce gave Acharin a blank look: "Even I know, what you want to say is that there is no point in losing a woman's life. ”

"Hey, you're still young."

"Hey, old thing!"

Lorraine scratched her head in embarrassment.

After the arsonist operation, the relationship between the two elderly collaborators has been very stiff, and even Lorraine doesn't know what they are messing with, or if the two are incompatible with each other in the first place, but they have accidentally crossed the hurdle of strange friends through their actions, and they have become people they hate......

Henna stepped on the sand and stuck to Lorraine's side: "Do you want me to warn Desai?" He was older, and he should have done more to maintain peace on the ship. ”

Lorraine thought for a moment, and finally shook her head.

"Little Pierce grew up with too many mentors and friends, and having a Yacharin is good for him, even if he can't learn to compromise with others, he can know that people have all kinds of things."

At this time, Daniel pushed the hapless Bell down the boardwalk.

He threw Bell's cart away, took a deep breath, and evaluated himself.

"There's the scent of abstinence in the air, and I guess you can find potions here, and if you refine it, it should have an impotence effect."

"Yang ...... Impotence?!! Acharin and Pierce were shocked in unison.

……

Life at Jackdaw Manor is very comfortable.

The so-called impotence is of course Daniel's delusion, and these days he has collected more than sixty kinds of products near the docks, and in the end he has not been able to refine the potion with special effects.

It's just that Bell suffers, and every day he falls into a high fever in hallucinations, is unconscious, and can't wake up.

The Charon left after unloading the luggage of Lorraine and others and the supplies of the manor, and three days later, an assault boat slowly docked, and there were not many people on board, and the leaders were none other than Karen and Wang Ye, who had not been seen for a long time.

The king also smiled with a hundred flowers.

"My captain, without the great Cantonese food, can you find food to swallow these days?"

"I don't want to take it too seriously...... But your Cantonese food is the kind of thing that's hard to swallow, and as a model of forgetting your ancestors, your French food is much more delicious. ”

Wang also smashed his mouth: "Forget your ancestors...... Captain, your Chinese is really the biggest mystery of the Drake Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Perhaps......" Lorraine was reluctant to delve into the topic, and immediately diverted, "Is the Jackdaw ready?" ”

"A ship full of Charville and dragoons, as well as some matching ammunition, I am sure that the Americans will fall in love with you at first sight, captain."

"Then you have to meet the Americans first......"

Lorraine looked back and saw the sailors take Bell from the villa and load it on a stretcher and send him directly to the boat.

Clen glanced curiously, "That's our new partner?" Do you have small hair? The best helmsman in the world? ”

"His identity is a bit complicated, and in order to be responsible for you, I think I have to let him commit a crime before I can tell him the truth."

Clen nodded in agreement.

Among the seafarers, Clen was relied on by Lorraine for his rigidity, and his opinions, along with Carmen and Henna, were always the most important to Lorraine, and he was also highly regarded among sailors.

Seeing that he was as supportive of his decision as ever, Lorraine laughed.

"The long break is over, ladies and gentlemen. You guys...... Ready for an adventure? ”
