The carriage slowly stopped on the outskirts of the city, and Lorraine got out of the car happily at the small manor where Acharin was being held, raising his arms to support Noah, who was traveling with him.

Who knew that before Noah got up, there was a meow from the carriage.

Like a black bolt of lightning, the round white ears leaped forward on the seat, taking the first step, and pounced on Lorraine's shoulder.

The question is...... It's too fat.

The target of the jump was Lorraine's shoulder, but when it did, it found that its trajectory was horizontal and vertical, and it couldn't even step on its chest.

The kitten was flustered.

For the sake of dignity, in order not to walk, and in order not to stain its clean little flesh with dirt, it decisively showed its claws.

With its teeth open and its claws dancing, it meowed, like a cannonball out of its chamber, drawing a complete arc in just over a meter away, aiming at the horse clip, turning to the waistband of its trousers, and continuing downward......

Lorraine grabbed the back of its furry neck and lifted the innocent-looking little one high until the eyes of the human cat were level.

Big watery eyes, a round face with bulging flesh, eyebrows, and ears and tails.

White Ears now looks like a fur-dyed Garfield, not at all like a witch's proud symbiotic soul.

It looked at Lorraine pitifully, and cautiously hid its fangs and claws in a harmless and cute appearance.

"Meow ......"

"Meow is useless." Lorraine, like every competent English gentleman, was incomprehensible and sternly lectured, "Little thing, Pierce is right, you should lose weight." ”

"Meow...... Oh! ”

Lorraine squinted her eyes and shook it, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were disgusted: "Fat and lazy, Henna teaches you to catch mice every day, have you ever eaten the mice you caught?" You don't even bother to eat it except for the good slices of fish. If you continue to be so fat, how can you help Noah use the Destiny Illusion Technique? What if you jump up and crush her head? ”

"Meow!"

Noah jumped out of the car with a red face, snatched the white ear and hugged it in his arms, and asked softly, "Captain, do we really want to cast a trick on a nobleman?" ”

"Just be prepared. How far we have come is all about how much Admiral Wange is willing to tell us. If the conversation is smooth, you don't need to do it......"

As a result, the conversation went surprisingly smoothly.

After a few days of enjoying the aristocratic treatment to the fullest, Wange changed his previous secretive posture and knew all about Lorraine's inquiries, Noah became a companion, and White Ears regretted losing the opportunity to show himself in front of the captain.

A new captive profile was soon placed in front of Lorraine.

Admiral Wange, full name Dahn. Wange is a young painter in Amsterdam who has only emerged in recent years.

His God treated him well, giving him not only the cells of art, but also a handsome face, dexterous hands, a strong body, and a restless heart.

Although it may sound a little weird, for a long time, he was indeed a well-known "flower" in Amsterdam's ladies' circle.

Pampering may be a breeding ground for ambition.

After two years as a courtesan, Wange began to pursue change.

He met the widowed Baroness Yodel at an exhibition of high society paintings, and through the marriage of other noble ladies, he soon became the only bedmate of the rich, young, noble, beautiful, and lonely lady.

According to Wange, the baroness was obsessed with him, and he took advantage of this obsession to begin to pursue his own development.

With the Baroness's public lover, he entered the Yodel Chamber of Commerce and was hired as the vice president and admiral of the First Fleet, a high-ranking position.

He quickly made a name for himself in the offshore business district, and was fortunate enough to meet the president of the Kalmar Chamber of Commerce, who took advantage of the turmoil in the New World to facilitate the Yodel Chamber of Commerce and the French and Spanish Chambers of Commerce, and in just a few months, he grabbed thousands of pounds of profits for the Chamber of Commerce.

The baroness couldn't live without him!

Wange said in front of Lorraine that the baroness would definitely offer the most sincere ransom, because Lorraine had him in his hands, as well as the only relic left by the baronesse's deceased husband, the Tulip of Liberty.

Thing...... Suddenly it's interesting.

The obsessive bed partner, the relic of the deceased husband......

Lorraine didn't know how the baroness handled these two relationships, only that the reason why she wanted to participate in the negotiations was precisely because these were treasures that she could never give up.

At least in Wange's mouth, that's the whole thing.

Walking out of the villa, Lorraine laughed playfully.

The puzzle of victory has not yet been put together, and unexpectedly, the time for action is ripe one step ahead.

……

Returning to Southampton without stopping, Lorraine drove straight to the Mindel Chamber of Commerce, where his two allies, Hiero and Odillan, had been waiting long ago.

The three of them discussed in the secret room in the middle of the night, and successfully agreed on the follow-up itinerary.

They divided their troops into three lines.

Hierro, who has a reputation in the offshore business district, will remain in Southampton, and his mission is to incite his peers and put pressure on the Roy Chamber of Commerce to relinquish his position as the leader of the offshore business district as soon as possible.

In Spain, Odilan had to be accompanied by Carmen. Captain Arteta's nautical diary and Sir Herrera's personal family crest to choke the Herrera Chamber of Commerce.

Lorraine's destination is Hamburg, where he wants to meet with Baroness Jodele on behalf of the Triple Chamber of Commerce to make the most of the profits from the Vange and the Tulip Libre.

Internally correct oneself, external weak and strong enemy.

If all goes well, they will create the best conditions for themselves before the decisive battle.

Three days later, leaving behind Pierce and the Musketeers, who were still training hard, the Butterfly Blossom slowly sailed into the harbor of Hamburg, and Lorraine led Henna to abandon the ship and ride along the dilapidated cobblestone roads of the streets to the opulent Friedrich estate on the outskirts of the city.

The Friedrich estate is home to Count Julius of Hamburg. Hayek's private property, located on the outskirts of Hamburg, is a Gothic castle with a history of more than 300 years.

The sun sets, looking at the hills in the distance.

At the end of a carpet of grass, Lorraine saw a solid white spire stone castle.

The pointed rib arch pavilion, the bundle pillars carved beams, the fine flying buttresses like angel wings spread horizontally to the two wings, and the rows of willow leaf windows arch guard the huge rose window in the middle, highlighting the grand atmosphere of this ancient building.

Due to its intricate craftsmanship and intricately carved wall decorations, Gothic buildings were often built over a long period of time.

For example, the Milan Cathedral, which is familiar to Lorraine, was built in 1386, and it was not until a dozen years ago, that is, in 1774, that the statue of the Virgin Mary in the central tower was erected, and it has not been completed to this day.

There is also the Cologne Cathedral, which began in 1248 and is said to have entered the final stages of construction, which took five centuries to build.

The scale of the Friedrich estate certainly cannot be compared with the above, but as a pure Gothic building, its construction period is not shorter than two hundred years, plus three hundred years old......

Lorraine was stunned to find that the black, solemn and rigid stone castle in front of her was actually laid at the same time as the Cologne Cathedral.

Suddenly the negotiating arena became an antique......

The carriage came to a halt, and Henna took Lorraine on a blanket of grass, and in a short time came to the long protruding gate, and met the president of the Yodel Chamber of Commerce, Van Brown, outside the sunken pointed arch. Jensen. Mr. Berg.

This is a very French-looking Dutch gentleman, arrogant and loose, who seems to be dissatisfied with his part-time porter, the president of the great chamber of commerce.

Seeing Lorraine and Henna coming together, he only greeted him with his nose and gently rang the hanging bell outside the door.

The heavy nanmu gate slowly opened, revealing long rows of bright candles and a fiery red carpet of trails.

Mr. Berg said, "Madame is waiting for you inside, go in." ”

Lorraine raised an eyebrow: "You are not going to participate in today's negotiations?" ”

"Humph! Madame said that today's negotiations were not complicated, and that she only wanted to meet alone the English merchant who had captured the Free Tulip. ”

"Since Madame has this Yaxing ......," Lorraine patted Henna's hand, "Henna, wait for me outside, just a moment." ”

Henna nodded: "If she makes an ambush inside, I will kill this red-haired old man first, and then go in to help you." ”

“…… It's good if you're happy. ”
