Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 403: The Belated Captain

"My lord, I'm interrupting your meal!"

With impeccable etiquette, the butler Zhanbert walked to Jiang Ning's side. He bowed halfway to salute, and put an invitation letter on the dining table.

"It's okay, Jambert." He glanced at the invitation letter on the dining table: "What is this?"

"Governor Swan sent it, sir!" Jambert continued: "It is said that Colonel Norrington will be promoted to Brigadier General tomorrow, and you are specially invited to watch the ceremony!"

Jiang Ning wiped the non-existent oil stains on the corners of his mouth with a napkin, opened the invitation letter, and glanced at it. There were dazzling polite words written in cursive English on it.

"I see." Jiang Ning looked up at Zhanbert: "Get the carriage ready tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir!"

...

After dinner, Jiang Ning came to the bedroom alone.

In the eight years since she settled in Port Royal, Jiang Ning has been single; although many people felt strange, they didn't say anything. However, when Jiang Ning gradually earned a lot of money, the families of many colonial officials began to come over to make friends. Selling his daughter, hoping to form a marriage relationship with Jiang Ning.

Since the rise of capital, the status of businessmen has been increasing day by day.

In the past, the status of businessmen was extremely embarrassing, not only in China, but also in the whole world, the impression of businessmen was generally bad.

This phenomenon began to change after the rise of capital.

Although the nobles still maintain their so-called nobility, in terms of financial resources, the nobles are not necessarily richer than the merchants. Moreover, with the increase of wealth, the influence of merchants has gradually increased, and their status has also increased.

Except for a few diehards who still stick to their own opinions, most nobles began to change their inherent thinking.

In particular, Jiang Ning is young and rich, although he is a foreigner.

However, there are many foreigners these days.

Even in the territory controlled by the British, there are many people from other countries living in it. Similarly, in the territory of other countries, there are also many foreigners living. The difference is only a matter of how many there are.

Well, facing such a young, handsome and wealthy bachelor,

The families of colonial officials with daughters naturally put a lot of thought into it. If you can marry, form a relationship.

Then, the combination of government and businessmen to strengthen each other's families is also a matter of course.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ning has no interest in this kind of marriage. He is also a little bit less interested in sowing seeds in another world. Although there is no hostess in the manor, if there is a physical need, Jiang Ning will also go to the brothel in the city under the hillside to vent.

He will not deliberately suppress his physical needs, nor will he condone them.

Everything is going with the flow, after all, even if you pursue a higher realm, you don't necessarily have to let yourself become desireless. If that's the case, there won't be so many powerful beings in the multiverse.

In fact, mortals and gods have the same essence.

We are all creatures, even if they have different structures and possess different powers. In the final analysis, mortals pursue power, and gods also pursue power. The result is the same.

For rights, for enjoyment, and for permanent enjoyment.

After all, with power comes corresponding rights and money. If there is no desire and no desire, then it means losing the motivation and goal of moving forward. Isn't this nonsense?

Whether it is the pursuit of enjoyment or the pursuit of truth, the ultimate goal is to enjoy.

So, essentially and the result is the same.

Just, another way of saying it.

...

He opened the curtains, and then opened the huge windows. From his position, he could have a clear view of the bay in the distance and the city below!

In the world of the 18th century, although there were still few entertainment methods, it was undoubtedly much richer than the Middle Ages in the Dark Ages.

Those who are law-abiding will naturally go home early as soon as it gets dark.

Those who are restless hang around in taverns and brothels, listening to songs, holding a beautiful prostitute with half-exposed breasts in their arms, saying some nasty jokes, drinking some wine, and going upstairs to do business while drinking!

Moreover, at night, such taverns, brothels and casinos are naturally full of business.

The noisy environment, tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and poor-quality perfume sprayed on prostitutes all mixed together to form a weird smell. Don't expect, like the 21st century, everyone is polite and has a very high-quality meal.

In this era, sailors and coolies don't have much quality, even nobles and kings.

Even in the 21st century, it is the same. It does not necessarily mean that the quality of the Chinese is poor, and the quality of foreigners is high. Think about it from another angle, can the bad side be shown to foreigners?

What is revealed is of course the good side, but the bad side is actually the same for everyone.

Become nothing more than human beings because the living conditions are better. I stopped eating the offal of animals I used to eat, and then I hate it, can I eat it? Can't eat dead people?

Jiang Ning was skeptical and curious at first, but he discovered it when he wandered around the restaurant one day. Then their descendants hated the animal offal, their ancestors actually ate it very happily, very happily...

...

Cutting off all these rambling thoughts in his mind, Jiang Ning took off his clothes and went to bed to rest.

On the second day, Jiang Ning woke up on time and rang the bell. The maids who had already woken up pushed open the door and walked in, holding neatly folded and clean dresses and clear and transparent washing water in their hands. After Jiang Ning got up, his own maid helped to fold the quilt, and then he stretched his arms, and with the help of the maid, he put on the gorgeous dress. And after cleaning his face, another maid stepped forward to examine his face carefully to see if it was necessary to clean his beard.

The result naturally satisfied the maids. The master's face was clean and he had no beard. In fact, Jiang Ning did not intend to grow a beard at all. The beards of Chinese people are not thick and sparse. Beards are not good-looking, not like white people, with lush body hair, both men and women. It's not like the Arab beards in the Middle East, everyone has a beard, and it's not like the white guys in the 21st century, who have short beards if they can, which looks very masculine.

However, Jiang Ning's beard is very rare, and it doesn't look good with a beard. Therefore, Jiang Ning completely used spells to prevent these beards from continuing to grow, and always maintained his extremely clean and tender face!

After he finished washing, the housekeeper Jambert came over, holding a top hat and a wig in his hands.

Ever since a certain king of France lost his hair and wore a wig to cover up his flaws. This weird trend swept across the entire Europa, and the kings and nobles of various countries rushed to follow suit, and then spread to the people and the army. However, folks who have that condition, naturally keep up with the trend, and the people who are suffering, naturally should do what they want!

Jiang Ning was very tired of this thing, so he resolutely refused it, picked up the top hat and put it on his head; went downstairs to have breakfast, then boarded the carriage with his guards and servants, and drove to the high garrison fortress.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at the fortress. After seeing him get off the carriage, nine colonial officials and their family members greeted him politely. For these, Jiang Ning returned the salute one by one, and then Governor Swan brought his daughter Elizabeth Swan to Jiang Ning. Very familiar greetings, during the eight years since he took office as Governor of Port Royal. During this period, Governor Swan and her daughter suffered from several serious illnesses, and Jiang Ning's treatment was the only way to guarantee their lives. Therefore, Governor Swan was very grateful to Jiang Ning and took good care of his property.

And for Jiang Ning's wine, Port Royal has provided a lot of taxes; it is said that the British royal family has also sent a letter to commend, so Governor Swan is very grateful and polite to Jiang Ning, and the relationship between the two is relatively close on weekdays.

The two chatted happily, and not long after, military officers greeted the celebrities and gentlemen present. Everyone naturally knew what was going on, and they all walked to a specific place. A group of red shrimp soldiers stood on both sides, and then cheerful music played. Jiang Ning saw a group of red shrimp soldiers walking slowly with guns in a loose formation, walking awkwardly.

Under the command of the chief of the army, the formation is arranged, and then today's protagonist will appear as the finale. Wearing an officer's cap and wig, and a decent officer's uniform, he walked slowly towards the celebrities and gentlemen.

Governor Swan's gift for Brigadier General Norrington is a rapier! And the gift Jiang Ning prepared was a flintlock pistol inlaid with an ivory handle!

Norrington liked these two gifts very much, and he thanked them with a slightly haughty expression!

Afterwards, the guy invited Governor Swann's daughter, Elizabeth, to chat aside.

Then, accompanied by Governor Swann, Jiang Ning chatted happily with a group of celebrities and gentlemen.

White people are very realistic, especially over the years, the strength of the UK has grown day by day, and this group of British people can't wait to grow their eyes on top of their heads. As a person from Asia, Jiang Ning was the kind of person who was discriminated against in Port Royal at first.

It's just that Jiang Ning used a little trick and showed a little trick, making him the most popular person in Port Royal today.

Celebrities and gentlemen, the daughters of various families have a good impression of him.

The pleasant chat took place surrounded by many beauties; many of the colonial officials were doing business, and there were also big local businessmen here. Everyone was bragging, chatting about politics, and talking about possible partnerships by the way. The scene was like that, and it made a group of women who don't understand business and politics feel unaware.

They feel that they are so good and so powerful!

While chatting, Jiang Ning suddenly heard the call of Brigadier General Norrington; then, a group of red shrimp soldiers walked over, and Jiang Ning followed closely.

"What's going on?" he asked Norrington beside him.

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth accidentally fell down." Brigadier General Norrington pointed to the sea below, and said anxiously, and then he was about to take off his clothes and jump, but was dissuaded by the soldiers around him.

Jiang Ning stepped on the stone fort and looked down. There was a faint brilliance in his eyes, and he could clearly see Elizabeth's figure sinking towards the bottom of the sea.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning saw another figure jumping into the sea from a small boat like a fish.

"Jack Sparrow!"

...

Jack Sparrow came to Port Royal as scheduled and rescued Elizabeth who fell into the water accidentally. Afterwards, Norrington followed with his soldiers and discovered Jack's pirate identity. And, he taunted Jack severely that he was the worst pirate he had ever seen.

But Jiang Ning looked into the depths of the sea, and he felt that a ship of the dead was sailing here.

That's the cursed Black Pearl and Captain Barbossa.
