[Full text reading] "Haha, Augu, Misha and Lily were the first lieutenants who followed me. We have experienced countless battles together." Lu Yuan hugged August's shoulders and shook Augu. Although Ste didn't say anything, his eyes were still a little red.
Lu Yuan took out three more envelopes and handed two of them to Auguste. "This one belongs to Young Jin. I can't find his contact information, so you should hand it over. The other one belongs to Jacques." , you seemed to have said a few days ago that he still has family members? I hope you can pass it on, and then help me say, I'm sorry!"
When they heard about Jacques, Auguste and Christina looked at each other. Christina shook her head with red eyes. She didn't want Lu Yuan to know that Jacques was her brother... I don't want to take revenge on him either.
It is really a pleasure to follow such a captain.
August had no choice but to take it without saying a word, and Lu Yuan handed him the last envelope, "Augu, do you remember what I told you about the nobles?"
Hearing Jacques' name was a little sad at first, but then Auguste became embarrassed. He glanced at Christina quickly and said, "It's already this time, why are you still mentioning that matter?"
"open to take a look?"
August opened the envelope and took out a thick stack of paper. There was a land deed, a pedigree description, and a piece of gilded paper with the cursive signatures of several people and even the British royal family's lacquer seal. .
"Is this... a title certificate?" Christina said in surprise. Among these people, she may be the only one who has seen this thing.
"Scottish Baron, congratulations, you can be called Sir August in the future." Lu Yuan said. August took it with an embarrassed smile. He really didn't know what to say this time. The certificate was passed by Kelly Stina grabbed it curiously.
John and Humphrey were left with equally large bills.
As for Misha and Elizabeth's part, Lu Yuan still wanted to hand it over to them personally... Although Misha disappeared after leaving, and there is no news yet.
…
Outside the window, the Port of Trinidad can be seen in the distance.
"Then. That's it." Lu Yuan stood up with a smile. "Take good care of the 'Elona'. I will pick it up in two weeks."
Li Huamei came behind Lu Yuan and stood with him. Lu Yuan held her catkin and gently pulled her, and the two of them slowly floated out of the window.
"Goodbye, everyone!"
Everyone gathered at the porthole. They looked at Lu Yuan holding Li Huamei's hand. The two of them were walking gracefully on the sea. Each step they took took them more than ten meters, and their figures slowly disappeared...
In the following time, the Caribbean Sea continued to be turbulent.
France and the Netherlands, which declared their defeat, began to shrink their strength to a few large ports and only operated within their own spheres of influence. They no longer participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Caribbean.
On the contrary, the war between Spain and the British spread across every corner of the Caribbean. The combination of the Ming fleet and the British gave the British an advantage in overall strength for the first time. But it was like history was reversed, except In addition to the "Ark Royal" that withdrew due to France's withdrawal, a large number of top battleships such as the "Flying Dutchman", "Black Pearl", "Barbados", and "Hell's Angel" have joined the Spanish. camp!
The British suffered successive defeats in small-scale raids. They only owned one "hms. Bellona", which was considered a top battleship, but under the premise that the Ming fleet refused to disperse, even the strongest battleship in the Caribbean could not It is difficult to support a tree alone.
And the strange thing is that Morgan, as the fifth force, began to move closer to the free pirates of the three major pirate ports, and became alienated from the British.
Speaking of battleship rankings, this can be regarded as a by-product of the YY promotion process of "I Plundered the Treasure Fleet".
The first one on the list is the British's most powerful battleship, the "hms. Bellona".
Ranked second is the representative of the Pirates of the Caribbean and the grassroots counterattack hero, "Elona".
The third place is the "Flying Dutchman", which was ranked second because it was conquered by the "Elona".
The fourth place is "Jackdaw"...
The fifth place is "Barbados"...
The sixth place is "Ark Royal"...
…
"Elona" is still so active.
In the Caribbean rumors, there is often mention of an Oriental rich man who came to the Caribbean. He drove a luxurious blue sailboat and sailed on the Caribbean Sea with a boat full of beauties.
Many pirates have tried to take advantage of him, but all of them never came back...
The above are all baseless rumors.
Port of St. Martin.
The only place John Workman ever lived for a long time.
Now he has bought a small house here and plans to return here to spend his remaining years when he is old.
Now the "Elona" is still in the hands of Auguste and his wife, who are chasing the Spanish "Isabella" before it can be his turn.
The two agreed that each would have the right to use the "Elona" for a week. Humphrey was busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and finally gave up the idea of forming a fleet on his own.
What John Workman is interested in is the British frigate "Interceptor". This beautiful new sailing ship is currently anchored in St. Martin. In order to observe the "Interceptor" up close, he even...[,! ] I disguised myself as a dock sailor and got on the boat to take a closer look.
He was familiar with British battleships, but he liked this new ship unexpectedly.
The church bells rang, and John, dressed in plain clothes, planned to go to the dock to see "his ship" again. His men were making waves and causing trouble in the entire harbor. If there were not a large number of forts blocking the port, he would not even think about it. Forcibly seize the ship directly in the harbor.
But something was special today. When he walked out of the room, he saw a young man guarding his door.
The handsome young man had morning dew on his hair and water on his boots. He stood there upright, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. John Workman?"
"I am, may I ask who you are..."
"My name is James," the young man introduced himself, "I am the nephew of Mr. Henrik Van Dyck. I heard that you are my uncle's best friend..."
"Ah, yes, please come in!" When John heard that he was Henrik's nephew, he immediately enthusiastically invited him into the room. He looked outside and saw that except for a carriage parked on the corner of the street, the young man did not have any entourage. .
John was not surprised that he could find out about him in St. Martin.
Now people from Shipwreck Island are almost distributed throughout the Caribbean, and they often communicate with each other through shops. After John came to St. Martin, he had several gatherings with locals from Shipwreck Island, so insiders found out about him The message is not difficult.
"He didn't mention that he had such an outstanding nephew. Has Mr. Henrik Van Dyke returned to England?"
"No," the young man shook his head sadly, "my uncle passed away...in fact, on the second day after arriving in San Juan. Obviously, his body could not bear the good news of returning home."
"This...I'm sorry...I really didn't expect it." John was surprised. It was hard for him to believe that the old man who was so angry at scolding people actually went like this...
But think about it, living in the environment of a shipwreck city for more than 20 years - damp, cold, dark, lack of food, never-ending rain... it is really difficult to have a healthy body.
"Can I help you?" He noticed that James was wearing very ordinary clothes, the metal on the head of his cane was only brass, and the brim of his boots and hat were severely worn. It was obvious that the young man in front of him was not wealthy. .
He smiled, patted the coarse clothes on his body, and laughed at himself, "Don't look at me like this, but I have made a small fortune recently. If it's a money problem, please tell me..."
"No, no, I still have some money." The young man refused shyly, "Uncle left me a lot of money! Wow, to be honest, I was really scared at the time." John nodded, Heng Rick is the richest among them. He extorted a large amount of money from Lu Yuan. If this young man is short of money, it means that he is not taken seriously by the old man.
Now that the young man named James told him the reason, it made him appreciate it even more. Being able to suddenly become rich without losing your true heart and spending money like water is something that many people cannot do.
"However, there is indeed one thing that makes me very embarrassed." He rubbed his hands and saw that there was no impatient expression on John's expression before continuing. "You know, my uncle always said that the 'Elona' was his The most satisfying work in his life. Therefore... Therefore... His last wish is that he hopes to be buried at sea on that ship... Is that okay? Mr. Workman."
"This..." John was a little embarrassed, James really made an embarrassing request.
But thinking about Henrik's old friend's face, John was inclined to agree in the end. After all, at the end of this week, the "Elona" will be handed over to him. If he wants to quietly hold a sea burial, it shouldn't be possible. What a big problem. "In terms of specifications... you know, I can't use the captain's bed."
"Ah, no! Thank you! As long as... normal specifications are enough. This is my uncle's last wish! Mr. Workman, thank you so much!" the young man said happily.
"Okay!" John finally agreed. He didn't want to disappoint the young man in front of him.
If anyone knows him, you will know that this sincere, simple, handsome young man, his full name is James Clifford, the British Royal Governor.
