0046 Sailor's Mirror
The sunset reflects the sea where the battle is about to break.
The sea was in a mess, with broken wood, broken corpses, scattered cargo, and sea boats burning around the blue smoke.
The battle is coming to an end.
After a three-hour battle, the English won a great victory. Lorraine captured the enemy flagship High Beam on the side and forced the landing of the Skuna-type Mermaid Singer, which lost its mainmast.
Lei Wenchad helped the powerful force, and fought with the enemy in front of him with his joint efforts. At the cost of heavy losses to the troops, he captured the Gold Coast, and another Skuna type fled.
Faced with this result, Pure White Beach, who was busy extinguishing the fire at that time, rationally chose to surrender.
Lorraine met with two of its Kirk-type ships and took advantage of the sailors' busy cleaning the battlefield to receive Raven on the deck of the Butterfly Flower.
"Dear sir, I am Raven Schoen, the admiral of the Second Fleet of Mindle Chamber of Commerce in Southampton. Thank you for your kind help. I sincerely admire you and your courage and strength."
"Mr. Shogner, I am Lorraine Drake, president of the Plymouts Drake Chamber of Commerce. Our Chamber of Commerce is also based in Southampton. It's a coincidence."
A wonderful battle is almost a complete victory.
Lorraine and his Butterfly Flower completely dominated the battle situation on the battlefield, and they naturally enjoyed the right to decide on the distribution of interests after the war.
Lei Wen was undoubtedly different from all of them.
This battle was rewarded with great rewards. In terms of ships, one Brigentine type was captured, the High Beam (slightly broken); three Hunfan Snaku type, the Mermaid Song (Breaking), the Gold Coast (middle break), and the Pure White Beach (middle break).
In addition, Lorraine also obtained Yacharin's sword, short gun, map album, and valuable navigation diary, and found goods worth nearly 1,000 pounds, as well as goods worth nearly 3,000 pounds.
The total price of ship cargo is far more than 10,000 pounds.
Lorraine could have embezzled all, even by virtue of morality, she could only hand over the Gold Coast independently captured by the Mindel Chamber of Commerce. No matter how she did it, it would not destroy the rules of the game at sea.
But after careful consideration, he gave Lei Wen the poorly injured Gold Coast and the pure white beach together.
Raven is quite different: "Mr. Drake, such an assignment is for you and your crew..."
"We are all English gentlemen, and we are close friends at a port. Although Drake died and injured seven, you have suffered even greater losses."
Lei Wen shook his head rationally: "We are prey, and it is our duty to fight, and you could not have been involved in this battle."
"Impossible." Lorraine smiled, "The French, Spanish and Dutch have set up hunting grounds in this sea. We need friends, not to do our own things and fend for ourselves."
“Hunting ground?”
"This is an important information obtained by our manager of Bilbao Miss Xavier." Lorraine pulled out a roll of parchment and handed it to Reven. "This matter should not be a secret. Even for myself, I don't want the upright gentleman who can become a comrade-in-arms to be eliminated early."
Lorraine looked at Raven solemnly: "Mr. Shogner, please accept Drake's kindness."
The ships are allocated until this time, and personal belongings and goods do not need to be distributed to the Mindel Chamber of Commerce.
Lorraine generously distributed all the goods to the 120 sailors participating in the war. The injured chamber of commerce issued another 50 pounds of subsidy, and the pension for death was as high as 200 pounds.
Such a huge reward made the morale on the ship break through the sky and almost spread to heaven.
What remains are Yacharin's personal belongings.
The navigation log Lorraine was handed over to Pierce to study. He could ask Yacharin for a password or try to decipher it himself.
The sword Lorraine was given to Ramos, which was the French Navy's school sword, which was not only well-made, but also of extraordinary significance.
Yacharin's short gun made Lorraine a little embarrassed.
It is a good gun, not only heavy, but also accurate, with an effective range of 10 meters, and is a self-defense weapon.
But it is not a weapon. The gold-wrapped gun barrel and ivory-decorated butt stock is inlaid with gems and exquisite carvings, which can be called a luxurious work of art.
This gun should have been very suitable for Pierce to defend herself, but because of too much extravagance, it is so heavy that it is not suitable for a child, even if the child is very strong...
It's really an unnecessary aesthetic.
Lorraine puffed her mouth and inserted the gun into her waist, officially announcing her ownership of the firearm.
The last one...the chart album.
This is a treasure, black Moroccan leather is sealed, thick and clear folio hand-painted pages, exquisite coloring, honeysuckle and decorations that can be seen everywhere...
This album has drawn a total of forty-four sea charts, covering the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the British Isle and the Ireland Islands, the Strait of Dover, the Cantabrian Sea and the Celtic Sea. It fully contains all the sea areas of Northwest Europe. It also has a clear layering and unharmed supernatural film correction based on the discovery of the times...
Lorraine saw the signature of Lucas Janson Wagennal at the end of each chart, and the name of this chart album is called "The Mirror of the Sailor".
The Netherlands is the benchmark for the world's cartography industry today. Since the 15th century, top cartography masters have emerged one after another.
Mr. Vachnal is the absolute leader and true leader among the stars of the Dutch cartographers.
In 1584, he published "The Mirror of the Sailor", which included 44 Nordic water maps, mainly including coastlines, landmarks, coastal outlines and water depths that can be seen from the seaside location.
Wagner's collection of charts was once very popular, so the British used the term "waggoner" (a variant of the name Wagner) to refer specifically to all charts that depict coastal content.
This is a master's album, and it is also a hand-painted by Mr. Vachnal.
Lorraine was like a treasure, and she was also very proud of the wealth of the Desai Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Vachner has lived for many years. No matter how practical it is for such a well-preserved album, it is probably worth a full Brigentine ship...that is, 10,000 pounds.
Crazy...
The biggest gain of this battle was actually in Yacharin's cabin...
After packing up his excitement, Lorraine returned to the deck with the album.
The battlefield cleaning is coming to an end. The dead sailors are thrown into the sea. Whether the living are injured or not, they will gather on the boat.
According to the rules of the sea, they will be exiled, and the winner only needs to provide only enough food and water for two days to eat, even if it is morally fulfilled, and Lorraine gave them three days.
The High Beam, which had basically no major losses, was assigned to sailors, and the broken Mermaid's singing voice also pulled the tow rope, and now it floated behind the High Beam, quietly rising and falling.
Lorraine watched the sailors rowing boats to the coastline of France, took the red and white flags, and blew the flags to Raven.
【Starting, friends】
Lei Wen responded with accurate flag words.
【If you want it, you can't get it, you can attach your wings to the back】
Lorraine laughed and raised her arms: "Butterfly, target Southampton, set sail, go home!"
