Reborn As a Pirate

The tent is full of magical colors.

Nuoya was wearing a nearly transparent golden veil, covering her head and face, only revealing a pair of dark bright eyes and a small upturned nose, kneeling upright in the middle of the tent.

Kneeling opposite her was a middle-aged lady with a black veil covering her face. Lorraine couldn't see her face clearly, and she didn't need to see her face clearly.

Between them stood a low table of ebony, very large and of golden proportions.

Twenty-two candles are placed at strange and irregular distances on the four corners, and two shining hollow daggers are placed horizontally on the short side. On the four corners are four conch-shaped, crystal cups filled with water, close to the In Noah's position, a small ball stand is used to set up a dark purple fate crystal ball.

Purple tent, purple crystal ball, there are no other colors in the tent, only the bright yellow candlelight meets the crystal ball through various refractions, and after the smudge of the hair, it casts a strange or thick or light color in the tent. The stain becomes a transition from purple to orange.

Lorraine respectfully handed the box to his wife, put it on the ground, took the opportunity to exchange a look with Noah, and then retreated silently to the shadow of the tent, silently like a shadow.

There was a slight smile on Noah's face.

"Madam, please open the box, take out the Major Arcana inside, and wash the silver plate on the table with your supplication to God."

Madam followed her words, and took out a pair of luxury tarot cards made of silver alloy and colored with ore pigments from the box. There were twenty-two cards in total, which were the Major Arcana that Nuoya said.

She began to shuffle the cards, and reverently scattered all the cards, then gathered them and placed them flat in the center of the table.

Nuoya stretched out her hand and lightly stroked the cards above. She obviously didn't touch the surface of the cards, but the closed cards spread out like a feather fan.

This miraculous scene made the lady almost kneel down.

Her breathing became heavy, and she was about to ask a question. Noah suddenly said: "Madam, meditate. I am just the mouth of God, and all glory belongs to my Lord."

The lady calmed down immediately.

She looked at Noah gratefully, and asked softly, "Priest, do I need to express my doubts?"

"You just have to speak to the Lord. He will tell me the answer, right on the card you flipped."

Madam became more pious, and tremblingly, she picked three cards and placed them upside down on the table.

Noah swept them with the gauze of his sleeve, and the three cards were turned up in front of the lady, the priestess, the queen, and the tower, all in reverse.

Generally speaking, the reverse position represents mistakes and negations, and the face of the lady changed.

But Nuoya's voice is as soft as ever, which can make people feel calm.

She said: "It seems that you have encountered a difficult situation, ma'am. Now please have hope, tell the Lord your thoughts and expectations, and draw three more cards."

Madam took a deep breath, and the trembling of her outstretched hand became more and more severe.

She picked out three more and listed them neatly under the original three. Noah still opened them with her sleeves as always, with gentle movements, full of mystical qualities, elusive and unguessable.

The upright hermit and lover, and the inverted Pope.

She smiled slightly, and stretched out her bare hand to put back the rest of the cards into a pile, still hanging and sorting without touching any of the cards.

Madam knew that the divination was over, and her breathing became heavy again.

Nuoya looked at her quietly, hugged her hands, and began to caress the crystal ball of fate with a strange rhythm.

The dark purple crystal ball was flickering in her hands, smudged with psychedelic colors, the candles were extinguished one by one, and in a short while there were only six left, with Roman numerals written on the candlesticks [Ⅱ 】【Ⅲ】【Ⅴ】【Ⅵ】【Ⅸ】and 【ⅴ】, exactly the serial numbers of the six cards.

Noah sighed wearily, and said in a floating and ethereal voice: "I understand your questions and expectations, ma'am."

Madame has been completely convinced,

In front of Noah, he lowered his noble head deeply: "Please guide me, priest."

"Your love is facing challenges, it is changing, your rationality does not agree with this change, but there is no solution in your heart."

"I wanted to have a baby, but God took away my rights."

"Don't panic, ma'am, the Lord will close the door and open the window." Noah's voice became more and more distant, "You need to reflect and ask your inner thoughts, even if it goes against the tradition , contrary to your upbringing. A new relationship takes time to form, but it will also bring hope into your life."

"What shall I do, Priest?"

"You shall have a healthy and wise child, who was conceived in your blood, and has drifted a branch in the river of your blood. He is your child, don't let him slip away, go get Hold him."

"To catch him?"

The candles suddenly went out!

The remaining candles were suddenly extinguished at the same time, and the gloomy tent suddenly became pitch black. Lorraine immediately opened the two thick walls inside and outside, and the skylight came in, exposing everything to the light.

The cards on the table disappeared, whether they were drawn by the lady or not.

They were stacked again, and the mahogany box was taken back, and the mouth of the box was wide open, neatly.

Nuoya lay weakly on the table, panting violently with her chest, her face was strangely rosy.

Still with a compassionate smile on her face, she slowly said to Madam word by word: "Madam, I hope you can find the right path and have a happy life."

...

Everything is on track.

On the third day of divination, the beautiful Miss Carmen Xavier was taken out of the country farm by her wife, and blatantly moved into the viscount's manor in the name of taking care of the frail lady.

It's just that the three of them are in the same courtyard, and whether it was Carmen Xavier who took the magpie's nest in the end, or whether the wife borrowed the womb to have a child and tasted her wish.

Under the recommendation of the Viscount, Lorraine participated in a reception at the upper echelon of Bermeo, where he had a good chat with the six gentlemen from the management committee.

The next day, he re-applied to the Management Committee for permanent residency, and was qualified with seven votes.

Another two days, still in Mr. Frey's tacky exchange, his glass products were sold at an average high price of 5.5 pounds per box, and he bought a batch of really high-quality American tobacco at a price of 1.2 pounds per kilogram.

The triangular trade line in the northwest of Europe that he had in mind was finally cleared up.

From then on, the Artis Belle will gallop on the rich offshore route of Bermeo-Elgin-Stavanger, earning huge profits for Lorraine and the future chamber of commerce.

The tight products of the New World, the spirits of Scotland and the luxury goods of Northern Europe, these will become the capital for him to set sail in this era and earn him the first pot of gold.

On a sunny morning, the Artis Belle sailed slowly away from the peaceful harbor of Bermeo, turned around in the vast Bay of Biscay, set sail, and pointed the bow straight to the distant British Isle.

Lorraine, Noah and White Ears stood side by side on the deck of the stern cabin, watching the Roma wave goodbye on the pier gradually disappearing into the far end of the horizon.

Lorraine rubbed Noah's black hair fiercely: "You told them they don't need to leave Spain, did you?"

Noah wrinkled her beautiful nose: "Roma people like to wander, but they don't like to wander in strange places. We are a group of people who love freedom, not a group of people who have lived enough."

"You left them all the rewards for divination, didn't you?"

"Wandering needs money! Without money, they can only steal, be hated by the locals, and wander to strange places."

"But they tried to kill you, didn't they?"

"But we made up in the end." Nuoya rubbed her round chin with white ears, her big eyes became crescent moons with a smile, "Cousins ​​gave up the crystal ball of fate, and returned my dance skirt, organ and silver taro They lost me. They prayed to fate together, hoping that I would be lucky to be with you in the future wanderings. This is all thanks to the captain!"

"Little girl who forgets grudges easily." Lorraine looked at her dumbfounded, "I guess, your silver taro is mixed with iron, and the gold yarn for divination is embroidered with magnets, isn't it?"

"This is... a secret."

Lorraine was noncommittal, and continued: "However, I don't understand how you can guarantee that Madam will definitely draw the six cards, and also arrange the pros and cons according to your requirements. I thought you used the technique of changing cards to draw The card was hidden in the gold gauze, but when I carried you out that day, I found that your gauze was too thin to cover anything, not even your body."

Noah's face turned red in an instant, he hesitated and twisted his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Divination is the revelation of fate, don't try to pursue its skills, because it is neither the past nor the future."

"I suddenly felt that you might be a real witch."

"The witch and the black cat, tsk tsk tsk..." Lorraine was amused by his own thoughts, waved his hands, and turned to leave, "White ears, it's time to eat. Next, we will form a chamber of commerce!"
