[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

Since you want to welcome, you should look like you are welcoming.Soon, the wives of the officers came to the beach one after another, neatly dressed in beautiful dresses, exquisite hats, and lovely parasols.

Of course, since the etiquette for welcoming distinguished guests is shown, the due guard of honor is also indispensable.

The wives of the officers were actually quite dissatisfied with Beckett forcing them to appear on the stage, but the well-informed person whispered in private: "Hey, have you heard? Miss Elizabeth was found once before, and she said that those The Far Easterners rescued her from a group of living skeletons!"

"You just know?" The other lady waved the blue silk satin folding fan in her hand, and said, "Haven't you heard of it? Miss Elizabeth insists that Michael is in the Far East Fleet! That's why She found out why Lord Beckett sneaked away when he was about to attack the Far East Fleet!"

"My God! Michael!"

The surrounding ladies all exclaimed.

Westerners are all religious, and the difference is only the sect.Especially because of the relationship between the "Law of Succession to the Throne", there are far more British Puritans than Catholics in the circle of the royal family and nobles. It can even be said that most of the British nobles are Puritans.

In the teachings of British Puritanism, the status of Michael, who is known as the right wing of God, goes without saying.

So, when I heard that Elizabeth called a Far Easterner Michael, the first impression of these wives was: Poor Miss Governor, is she scared crazy by pirates?Why did he open his mouth and say Michael? !

The lady in the champagne-colored dress who was the first to speak said, "Oh, that's the land of the Saint King. Everyone who comes out of that land is a scholar and a millionaire. I don't doubt it at all. But Mi Caleb? Are people in the Far East religious?"

"No, I don't know. Never heard of it."

"I hope that the man from the Far East is the incarnation of Michael. If the man from the Far East is Michael, then there may be angels among those who follow him. I really hope that an angel can save us from the claws of the devil. come out."

Hearing what the lady in the green dress said, several ladies around crossed themselves, and even the soldiers who heard it couldn't help imitating the example, crossing themselves and praying to God.

Merciful and Almighty Lord, please save us lambs.

Although he was standing in front, Carret Beckett knew what these women and soldiers were thinking just by listening to the voice. He also knew very well that if the Duke of the Far East was identified as the incarnation of Michael, he would What a sad and terrible fate to face.

Callett loves his motherland and his job. He knows how terrible and unforgivable what he did in those colonies. If there are gods, Callett has no doubt that those guardians of the colonies They will surely punish him.

In fact, the longer I worked for the East India Company, the more I doubted my faith: look at the crimes I have committed!If there are gods in this world, why don't you punish me?

Therefore, once most men set foot on the land of the colony, no matter how gentleman and noble they are in the country, after living in the colony for a few years, they will turn into bastards who do all kinds of evil.Hanging out with women of different races, killing innocent black people, sending innocent children to the gallows just because of their momentary displeasure... When they have done all the bad things in the colonies and returned to the British mainland, they became again A well-dressed gentleman.

this is the truth.

Callett Beckett is such a bastard. He puts aside the good qualities that his mother instilled in his young heart together with the teachings of Christ, and thoroughly implements the concept of "business is business" and wholeheartedly Get into the work.

It can be said that no matter how much the king trusted him, the natives of the colony hated him; no matter how much credit he made for Britain, no matter how many crimes he committed in the colony.

Before coming to the port of Jamaica, Callett sneered at such things as gods and divine punishment.

But this time, he knew that he was wrong.

He has made a terrible mistake which has brought him to his lamentable state, and brought a terrible disaster upon his country.Now he just wants to make up for one or two, and he doesn't know if he still has such a chance.

Amidst such turmoil, the three brigs slowly docked.

Ian Mather immediately noticed something was wrong: "My lord, something is wrong. These boats are sharp-bottomed boats. According to the confession of Jack Sparrow and his men, the flat-bottomed boats that the Far Easterner should use. "

"Well, it doesn't matter. Don't forget, only those people from the Far East can fly in the sky! It's enough that these people can fly in the air."

What Carret Beckett is most concerned about now is not this, but another thing: Since the other party has mastered extraordinary power, is the other party willing to help him?

With such a mood, Carret raised his head and looked at Elizabeth who was lying on the side of the ship and waving to her father persistently.

What a lively lady.

The first thing Elizabeth did when she jumped off the Dugong was to throw herself into her father's arms: "Oh, father. I miss you so much."

"Oh, Elizabeth, my daughter, you are back at last."

Seeing that his daughter was safe and well, Governor Wetherby Swan could not hold back his tears.

Counting from the time when her daughter was snatched by Barbossa and taken aboard the Black Pearl, Elizabeth had been away for almost half a year. Even if Jamaica is not obvious in the tropical season, it cannot be the heart of Governor Wetherby Swan.

No matter how high the status is, no matter how much money is, it is not important to the governor at this moment. All he wants is the safety of his daughter.

For Governor Swan and his daughter, Callett Beckett will always be the most hated person, bar none.Obviously it was such a touching moment for the reunion of father and daughter, and obviously several wives around took out their handkerchiefs and wiped away their tears with empathy, but this lord did not leave such a moment for their father and daughter.

"Governor Swan, Miss Swan, I'm sorry, I need Miss Swan to introduce me, this general is..."

What Carret Beckett was referring to was naturally Huang Hui who followed Elizabeth off the boat.

Westerners are generally taller than orientals, while Lord Beckett's stature tends to be short. Just look at this position and you will know that Governor Swan, Brigadier General Norrington, and Lord Beckett's confidants Ian Mather was all about the same height. Standing together, the top hats on their heads were all at the same level. Beckett was a little shorter, which was almost half his head.

But even so, Beckett was no shorter than Huang Hui.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Beckett wearing mid-heeled leather shoes, and the two of them are at the same level of sight.

"Recruit envoy Huang Hui in the government office of Xiawancheng County. The surname is Huang, and the name is Hui."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Callett Beckett, the director of the East India Company, Lord Beckett. I am the king's agent. Excuse me, the Wancheng County Government House you are talking about is..."

Elizabeth quickly said: "Michael is the son of the cousin of the emperor of the Far East, and the Duke of Wancheng County is his title, just like the Duke of Devonshire and the Duke of Kent."

"Oh, that's really a highness."

Beckett's tone of voice was always annoying, especially to Elizabeth.Although Elizabeth often has to admit that Beckett is very aristocratic, Elizabeth just hates him for no reason.

In fact, anyone with a little experience can see that Elizabeth is only 16 years old, which is the most lively and energetic age for a girl. It is not surprising that she yearns for freedom and hates restraint, and Beckett represents the king, The court is a cage, and it is no wonder that Elizabeth can bear him.

"Then, may I ask where I can serve Your Highness?"

Since it was the other party's initiative to ask for business, Beckett couldn't help putting on airs.

Based on Beckett's understanding of the East, the Easterners, especially those in the Far East, have a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy with almost no need for imports. This is why Britain has always had a trade deficit with the Far East.Beckett also concluded from this that what these Far Easterners need must be what they need.

He can totally raise the price.

It's business isn't it?Business is business.

He just hoped to get a solution to this natural disaster from the other party, and he didn't want to lower his style and identity in front of the other party.

"Of course, we need a lot of ore, first of all iron ore." As if he didn't feel that the other party was like a lurking wolf, waiting to bite them, Huang Hui directly said what he wanted.

These orientals are indeed noble lords, and they don't even know what business is.

Beckett sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Sorry, iron ore is a military supply and cannot be traded."

Elizabeth immediately called out: "Lord Beckett, please think about it. The one who needs a lot of ore is Michael."

"Sorry, Miss Swan, this is business."

Governor Wetherby Swan, who was aware of Beckett's methods, immediately held down his daughter: "Elizabeth, don't do this. Don't worry, since Michael asked this general to come, he naturally has his intentions. Please believe that Your Michael."

Well, judging from these few words, Governor Swan's patience with Lord Beckett has also run out, so that he even forgot his identity and position, and chose to stand on the side of the Far Easterners and speak for the Far Easterners.Although his words can't be picked at all.As long as he is a normal person, when he sees such a line, he will think that he is sticking to his identity and responsibilities, but several parties present can hear that his patience with Beckett has reached its limit.

Of course, a large part of the reason here is because he grew up listening to the story of the land of the saint king, and part of the reason is because Elizabeth once told him the story of Michael's purification of the skeleton pirate.

Beckett once insisted that Elizabeth was lying, but after seeing those wandering skeletons with his own eyes these days, Governor Swan fully accepted his daughter's words:

There are indeed demons in this world. Since there are demons, why can't there be angels?The land of the sage king is rich and powerful, so why is it strange that the angels favor that land?

The author has something to say:

Regarding British Puritanism, in fact, a more accurate term should be the Anglican Church, which belongs to Protestantism, as opposed to Catholicism.

But here has become a magical world, so the name Puritanism is used to show the difference.
