As an architectural type born for religion, Gothic architecture is not suitable for private houses.

    With an umbrella, Lorraine walked alone on the long red velvet carpet, with continuous shaking candles on both sides and pointed vaults overhead.

    These elements are put into adults'' senses.

    Clearly only a short passage of more than 30 meters, Lorraine felt that he had crossed 100 meters or even hundreds of meters quickly.

    At the end of the corridor, he bypassed a carved shadow wall and stepped into the castle hall covered with blue wool blanket. Behind him is a rose bed with a diameter of five meters. In front of him is a thin and narrow willow leaf arched window, which is divided into three rows, neat and side by side.

    Between the two windows is today''s negotiation field.

    There was a long table with two solitary chairs. The main seat in the North was a slim lady in plain robes and black gauze. The guest seat in the South was vacant in front of Lorraine, which was obviously reserved for him.

    He didn''t rush to take his seat and walked to the lady with a smile.

    The lady got up and left her seat, took two steps, and held out her long gloved fingers towards Lorraine.

    Lorraine nodded to the lady, raised her hand, hooked her fingertips, leaned close to her lips, made a virtual kiss, and whispered, "beautiful Baroness Yodel, Lorraine Drake says hello to you."

    The Baroness returned the salute with her skirt and responded in a slightly hoarse voice: "you are younger, stronger and more savage than I thought."

    "You shouldn''t expect the offspring of a pirate to have a gentle temperament."

    "Francis contributed to the rise of the Netherlands and was a friend of the Dutch. Although we didn''t grasp it, we finally gave it back to the English."

    "It''s destiny, madam."

    The Baroness smiled noncommittally: "take a seat. I heard you brought a beautiful companion. I''m afraid you don''t want to chat with me for too long."

    Lorraine nodded again, neither explaining nor agreeing.

    The two sides sat down and looked around at a long table more than ten meters away.

    Lorraine slowly leaned his long umbrella beside him, took off his hat and crossed his fingers: "madam, how are you going to compensate the English businessmen for their losses in this foolproof disaster?"

    "Are young people so impatient? I heard that English gentlemen like to start with the weather."

    "That''s why England is often accompanied by rainy days. Because it is always said inexplicably that it has been in a bad mood."

    The Baroness laughed, "it?"

    "It."

    The Baroness''s voice cooled down. Through the black veil, Lorraine could still feel the alienation that was completely different from before.

    She slowly took off the glove that Lorraine had touched before and threw it to the ground.

    "The Yodel chamber of commerce did not authorize the first fleet to privatize outside Dutch waters. Everything has nothing to do with the chamber of Commerce or me."

    "Then there''s nothing to talk about?" Lorraine shrugged. "I''m curious. Since there''s nothing to talk about, why do you condescend to come and see me in person?"

    "I want the freedom tulip."

    "Just a boat?"

    "Just a boat."

    Lorraine was a little surprised because the negotiations ended so abruptly.

    Next, no matter what conditions he put forward, the Baroness would agree, because she took the initiative to uncover her cards and no longer wanted to make false promises.

    She gave her choice to her opponent.

    Lorraine pondered and stared aimlessly at the colorful floating window behind the baroness. Suddenly she understood her deep meaning of choosing the ancient castle as the place for negotiation

    He smiled bitterly and said, "you are a qualified nobleman, madam."

    "Say the terms."

    "The Yodel chamber of Commerce withdrew from the Cantabrian hunting alliance and paid a total of 3762 pounds, 18 shillings and 4P to the alliance of the three chambers of Commerce."

    "18 shillings... 4P?" the Baroness stared at Lorraine in surprise.

    "In the first war with the Yodel chamber of Commerce, the three chambers of Commerce paid a total of 762 pounds, 18 shillings and 4P, but you can''t compensate the original price. The hunting alliance hurt my feelings with the two allies. You need to pay 1000 pounds to each chamber of Commerce for your choice in the previous months."

    The Baroness suddenly said, "reasonable price and wise choice. It seems that you are also a qualified aristocrat, even if... You don''t believe in a kind God."

    "I''m waiting for your messenger in Southampton." Lorraine stood up, put on his hat and lifted his long umbrella. "Nice to meet you, madam. May you stay young forever."

    "I also wish you prosperity and peace."

    The two nodded goodbye. Lorraine left the stage. At the moment when he was about to turn out of the shadow wall, he suddenly heard a faint sigh behind him.

    "The vacuum is empty... Obviously, it only needs to be handsome and considerate, but he wants more. The free tulip reposes the dream of her late husband''s life and can''t protect her... It''s not worth living in this world."

    This negotiation, together with Lorraine''s entry and exit, took only more than ten minutes. The moment he walked out of the door, Haina''s face was full of doubts.

    "Is there no one in the house?"

    "Someone."

    Haina glanced at Lorraine''s umbrella. "You haven''t been attacked."

    "There''s only the baroness. Our negotiation is over."

    "It''s over?"

    "Yes, she took back the free tulip, and I resolved the possibility of large-scale intervention in the war between Prussia and the Dutch chamber of Commerce. Everyone was happy, so we could get together and break up."

    Lorraine put up her elbow and put her arm around Haina. She didn''t even say goodbye, so she lifted her foot and left.

    "You know what? Wange thinks he is a beautiful flower. Unexpectedly, he is just a handful of flower mud around the social flower, not even grass..."

    ……

    On December 1, 1778, the Southampton parade court officially convicted Dutch Dann Vanger of piracy.

    He was hanged on an unnamed reef off the coast of Southampton, his face was no longer handsome, and his body swayed with the sea wind.

    On the 3rd, the Dutch Yodel chamber of Commerce officially announced its withdrawal from the hunting alliance of the three countries.

    On the 5th, the Spanish erera chamber of commerce followed suit, announced its withdrawal from the alliance and publicly supported Cantabrian''s freedom of navigation.

    In a few days, the commercial war in northwest Europe was surging. England clearly lost the key war, but with the efforts of the alliance of the three chambers of Commerce, England won an incredible victory in the diplomatic field.

    Cantabrian became a duel between the offshore chambers of Commerce of Britain and France.

    The Frenchmen were powerful, and there was no rival in this sea area between velentidok of the Desai chamber of Commerce and his reindeer.

    The English are powerful, and the alliance of the three chambers of Commerce has really become the leader of the offshore business district. Under the pressure of peers, Roy chamber of commerce can only condescend to find Jero and begin to discuss the formation of a joint fleet to completely break through the possibility of the blockade of Cantabrian.

    Again, Mindell chamber of commerce became the initiator of England''s joint breaking fleet, and Lorraine was elected fleet commander.

    He was sworn in at Trinity College, which had left him a bad experience. At the same time, he proposed to set up three deputy supervisors, namely ronsa Roy of Roy chamber of Commerce, raven shaughner of Mindell chamber of Commerce and Yassin shaklin of shaklin chamber of Commerce.

    Ships from all sides gathered in Southampton, with a total of 1 Karak, 14 brigantin, 9 mixed sail scuna and 6 Kirk.

    The original mixed fleet was integrated into the fleet as a whole, accounting for half of the brigantin type.

    This fleet, which had won key victories, ensured that Lorraine continued to maintain absolute authority in the huge new group.

    Large ships with various chamber of Commerce flags gathered at various ports of Southampton along the tortuous coastline of England. For a time, Westport was trembling and the dock continued day and night.

    Dark clouds are gathering over England. The last battle of Cantabrian is about to begin

    Lorraine found acharin at the Musketeers'' training ground.

    "Acharin, my dear friend." Lorraine looked at him with a smile. "In Heba, you are brave and fearless; in the battlefield, you have made outstanding contributions; in this grassland, you are diligent and hardworking. You have won my recognition with your performance. I think the original self redemption contract is obviously unfair to you."

    Acharin was so frightened by Lorraine that his hair stood up and his voice faltered.

    "Ship... Captain, it''s really an act of leaving duty without permission to climb up Miss Freya minder''s bed during training. This... But I haven''t fallen behind in the training of the Musketeers for a moment! They have been able to achieve 3 rapid fire per minute and 70% firing rate. This data is very excellent. Even among the French Marines, it''s enough to be listed in the midstream!"

    "Of course I know you have trained the Musketeers very well..." subconsciously, Lorraine suddenly stared, "Damn, you actually slept with Miss Freya?"

    "You don''t know?"

    "Even Jero doesn''t know!"

    Acharin blinked. "Er... So what you just said is true?"

    Lorraine took two deep breaths under his temper and tried to bring the topic back to the original track.

    "Qianzhen, Wanzhen. We''ll calculate later about your behavior of damaging the relationship between the chamber of Commerce and allies... Now, the self redemption contract is over and you''re free."

    "Am I really free?"

    "You are free. In accordance with the additional terms of the self redemption contract, I formally invite you on behalf of the Drake chamber of Commerce and am willing to provide a formal flagship seafarer contract for five years."

    Lorraine slowed down for fear that acharin could not hear clearly.

    "Now the choice is in your hands, my gunner. Are you going to choose Drake or Desai?"
