Chapter 4503 Chapter 4505 [Holding a wedding]
Later, Xiang Nan formally proposed marriage to Governor Wetherby.
Governor Weatherby naturally agreed happily.
On the one hand, anyone who is not blind can see Xiang Nan's talent and future. He is already able to stand alone at a young age, and sooner or later he will become an admiral.
Such a young man with a bright future, let alone the remote Port Royal, is quite popular even in the upper class society in the UK.
On the one hand, Elizabeth's marriage to Xiang Nan is actually considered a high achievement.
Because Xiang Nan was the only son of Admiral Lawrence Norrington, he had the right to inherit the property. Although Elizabeth was Wetherby's only daughter, she actually had no inheritance rights.
The inheritance of Wetherby's wealth lies with his distant nephew. So although Weatherby had family wealth, the bulk of it needed to be given to her nephew, and Elizabeth could only get a share of the dowry.
So if his daughter could marry Xiang Nan, that would be the best choice, and he was very optimistic about the success.
"Then it's settled." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
Then, he prepared an engagement ring and gave it to Elizabeth.
The diamond on the ring was as big as a soybean grain, which made Governor Weatherby and Elizabeth very happy.
Governor Weatherby was happy because he knew the ring was worth at least one thousand pounds. And Elizabeth did it purely because the ring was beautiful.
…
Subsequently, the news that Xiang Nan and Elizabeth were engaged and would be officially married six months later spread throughout Port Royal.
Everyone who heard this news was envious.
One is the local magistrate, holding great power; the other is the daughter of the governor, with a rich body. Their union is truly a match of talents and looks, which is naturally enviable.
Xiang Nan also sent an invitation to his father in England, inviting him to his wedding. Governor Weatherby was naturally not idle and invited his relatives and friends to attend.
The wedding arrangements are in progress in an orderly manner.
…
Amazon Island.
Xiang Nan looked at the finished Oliha Gang and nodded with satisfaction.
Over the years, through the joint efforts of the Amazon family, these Oliha Gang were finally made.
Olihagon is a high-tech alloy from Atlantis. It is extremely hard and indestructible. It is known as one of the three magic mines along with mithril and fine gold. It is very suitable for forging weapons, armor, shields, etc.
"What are you going to do with these Oliha?" Queen Aleka asked curiously.
"I'm going to use it to build a battle armor." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "A battle armor that is indestructible and powerful."
By then, this armor will not only have amazing defensive power, but also have a variety of magical functions.
For example, the God of War's Belt can fill him with strength, the Frost Bracers can freeze everything, the Two-Horned Crown can grant strength and wisdom, and the Storm Stone can summon storms... In the next few months, in addition to preparing for the wedding, Xiang Nan was also imagining himself. of battle armor.
He wanted to ensure that this armor could not only protect his safety, but also be flexible enough so that it would not affect his movement. More importantly, what other artifacts are suitable to be mounted on it.
Xiang Nan made a series of ideas for this and drew more than 3,000 drawings.
Thanks to his knowledge of Atlantis, Alexander the Great, and Quetzalcoatl Kukulkan, it was really not difficult for him to build the armor.
And he also selected more than twenty strange items that can be installed on the armor, including the God of War Belt, Frost Bracers, Two-Horned Crown, Storm Stone, Shaman Totem, Sun Scepter, Magi Stone, Stone Sword, Holy Spear, Seven Rings, Blue Pearl, Purifying Fire, etc.
…
After designing the armor and strange items, exactly half a year has passed.
Xiang Nan and Elizabeth's wedding was also officially held.
For this reason, Admiral Lawrence Norrington traveled all the way from England to Port Royal. In addition, executives of the East India Company, relatives and friends of Governor Weatherby, etc. also came to support the event.
In the past few years, under Xiang Nan's rule, Port Royal had been peaceful and prosperous.
Even though the ocean goddess Cory Busso was wreaking havoc a few years ago, Port Royal still suffered the least losses and was able to pay taxes in full and on time.
Therefore, both King George II of England and the East India Company were very satisfied. For this reason, on Xiang Nan's big day, they not only sent people to congratulate him, but also promoted Xiang Nan to brigadier general, giving him another promotion.
You must know that Xiang Nan was promoted to colonel just last year, which was actually less than a year ago. For ordinary people, it takes at least three or four years to be promoted from colonel to brigadier general.
Therefore, this kind of promotion speed can really be called amazing.
Firstly, it is due to Xiang Nan's outstanding performance in maintaining the security of the Caribbean Sea very well; secondly, there are people in the court who are good at serving as officials. After all, who can't get along with an admiral without looking at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha.
Admiral Lawrence was also very satisfied with his son's performance.
Over the years, he has captured nearly a thousand pirates and effectively protected the navigation safety of Port Royal and the surrounding waters. This is a great contribution.
You must know that pirates are very rampant in other regions, especially in the Indian and Pacific regions. There are thousands of pirates who often rob East India Company's merchant ships, causing considerable losses.
Only the Caribbean side is almost peaceful. So George II, the East India Company, and Lawrence were all satisfied.
"Son, I'm proud of your performance." Lawrence said to Xiang Nan, "Originally, I was worried that it would harm you if I let you take charge of your own affairs at such a young age. But your performance made me give up my worries. Well done to you for questioning.”
"Thank you, father, for not disappointing you." Xiang Nan also nodded and smiled.
He knew that the reason why the Caribbean waters were relatively peaceful was, firstly, because he was capable, and secondly, because Jack, the Pirate King of the Caribbean, was not a person who liked to rob homes and take advantage of others.
Although Barbossa likes to be a pirate, he and his crew are no longer immortal, so even if they rob, they will not come near Port Royal.
After all, the two large ships in Port Royal are not only fast, but also have sufficient firepower. The key point is that Xiang Nan is really ruthless. Anyone who dares to come around Port Royal will be beaten to pieces.
Therefore, Barbosa and his gang usually only hang out in Spanish colonies such as Florida and Brazil. Spain's invincible battleship has never been able to recover after being defeated by the British in the last century, so it is a soft persimmon, you can pinch it as you like.
It is precisely because of this that the Caribbean Sea is considered peaceful.
