"To have a beautiful and elegant count's daughter to bury me with is worth it as a person who begs for a living at sea. ”

The wind and waves in the sea, Hans had seen too much, and the shouting and shouting of Count Elinor was not taken into Hans's eyes, and his expression did not even change.

"Presumptuous!" Count Elinor was furious, his cannibalistic eyes almost devoured Hans alive, but when he thought of his well-behaved and lovely daughter, he was ......

"Tell me, how many gold coins do you want!" said the Countess, putting down her teacup and placing her fingers crossed in front of her knees, staring at Hans with a cold expression.

Hans shook his head expressionlessly: "We don't need gold, we just need to trade." Lord Theodore has already told you just now, and as for the details of the transaction, Lord Earl can ask Lord Theodore in detail later. As long as you do what we ask, Miss Lislu will be safe. ”

"Hubris!" said Lord Ellianor's eyes widened, and he slapped his palm on the mahogany round table, shaking the enamel teacup violently.

Who gave this pirate who deserved to be gallows the courage to bargain with a noble nobleman, and to live impatiently?

The countess glanced at her husband and nodded lightly: "Come on, take this warrior down to wash and rest first." ”

Hearing the order, two guards in armor and swords walked through the door, got down on one knee, and then led Hans out with a maid.

"Unforgivable, unforgivable!" said Count Elinor, who stood up and walked anxiously back and forth with his hands behind his back, snarling to ease his worries.

"I went to the Marquis of Rist and asked him to send a warship to rescue Lislu. So saying, Count Elinor was about to go out.

"Sir, do you want to kill our daughter?" the countess said lightly, pulling Count Elinor back.

The Earl said with a sad face, "My lady, what do you say you should do?"

"Sit down, listen carefully to Theodore's report. The Countess picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and when she found that the tea was cold, she spit out the tea in her mouth and put it on the table, but did not ask the maid to add more tea.

Theodore nodded, took out a letter written on vellum from his bosom, and respectfully handed it to the Countess.

The Countess opened Lislu's handwritten letter and read it carefully.

The letter was written about what happened to her after going to sea, similar to Theodore's report, but it was brief, and Lislu added a sentence at the end of the letter, saying that she was safe now, and the pirates were very polite to her, and hoped that her parents would not worry about Yunyun.

Finally, the countess glanced at a badge in the lower right corner, and her slightly curled brow gradually eased.

"Show me. After the Countess had read the letter, Count Elinor eagerly took it.

The countess's slender white fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and after a moment she said, "Butler, where is the pirate's hiding place?"

Hearing Madame's question, Theodore looked respectful: "It takes about fifteen days to sail south, it is a small island, not big, and the population on it is less than two hundred, men, women, and children. ”

Quickly understanding what the master meant, it was a skill to be a butler, and Theodore knew what the countess wanted to ask, so he quickly told the general situation of the pirate.

"The pirates aren't very powerful, but Miss Lislu is in their hands, so ......," Theodore voiced his concerns.

In addition, he also held back this sentence: "Moreover, the leader of the pirates is very ......"

“...... Wise. Theodore hesitated for a moment before he spat out the word wisdom.

"Wisdom?" the countess's fingers tapping on the table paused suddenly, Theodore's talent she knew, this loyal butler, who had followed her for more than twenty years, had been personally selected by her.

Whether it is the royal capital or Manhill City, how many aristocratic youths and knights make him sneer, but he didn't expect to be so appreciative of a pirate leader at this time.

The Countess was a little surprised: "Let's hear what kind of pirate you can praise." ”

"This pirate leader is not very old, in his twenties...... Theodore thought about it, and told the countess in detail about his first meeting with Donner, as well as what he saw and heard on Crescent Island, and by the way, he said some of his own thoughts.

"Interesting!" the countess chuckled softly, "was once a slave, and in less than two months, from an outsider, he dominated the pirate regiment?"

Count Elinor put away his daughter's handwritten letter and said disdainfully: "It's just a dirty pirate, and such a scumbag should all be hanged on the gallows." ”

Theodore remained humble and did not speak.

The countess gave her husband a blank look: "Then now this filthy, despicable, hanged pirate, wants to make a deal with the noble Earl, will you do it?"

"I ......" Lord Count Elinor wanted to embody the majesty and manhood of the nobles very much, but when he thought that his precious princess was still in the hands of others, he couldn't help but be discouraged, and said with a bitter face: "I...... Listen to Madame's. ”

Theodore's smiling expression drew the angry eyes of Lord Eleanor.

The Countess thought for a moment, then asked the butler, "Theodore, what exactly do you say the pirates want to trade with us?"

"Porcelain!" replied Theodore.

"What is this thing, why haven't you heard of it?" the countess frowned.

"Oh, it's a very beautiful utensil, it hasn't been seen on the mainland, I've brought some back, and the Earl and Madame are sure they'll love it too. With that, Theodore clapped his hands, and the man waiting outside the door brought in the prepared porcelain.

This is only a part of the one that Theodore brought back first, and the rest is still on the ship, slowly being transported back to the Earl's Mansion by hired coolies.

"These are the leaders of the pirates, who say they are giving them to the Earl as a greeting gift. Porcelain was placed in the living room, Theodore added.

Large quadrangular vases, rounded potbelly teapots, goblets and oval dinner plates, and exquisite porcelain with floral patterns of different colors painted on them.

The Earl and the Lady looked at the porcelain with a look of surprise that seemed to be beyond their imagination.

As an earl, I don't have any utensils in my house, whether it's gold, silver, or enamel.

But appliances like this, huh...... It's the first time I've seen it, and I don't know what material it's made of, smooth and bright, with a faint cyan, like a jewel, especially the pattern on it, which is not floating on the surface, but is enclosed in a crystal-like shell.

"This one is really nice and beautiful. The Count of Elinor seemed to have forgotten that these things had been given by the pirates who had kidnapped his daughter, and he complimented him heartily, and said to his servant by the way: "This is a good vase, and it will be wiped clean and moved to my bedroom." ”
