save the bachelors

Chapter 4412 [Tetuga]

That night, Xiang Nan quietly came to Tetuga Island alone.

Tetuga Island is also a real place. It is located just north of Haiti, 450 kilometers away from Port Royal, which is relatively convenient.

In the 17th century, adventurers from Europe began to settle in Tetuga, but no country had sovereignty here, so Tetuga became a lawless area.

Numerous pirates, merchants, and smugglers gathered here, making Tetuga very prosperous. It is also a paradise for countless adventurers, especially pirates who like to gather here to eat, drink, and have fun.

Xiang Nan flew on his sword and arrived at Tetuga Island, where he saw that it was really a place of feasting and revelry. Although it was already early in the morning, the island was still brightly lit, with singing and dancing.

Music, dance, cheers, curses, screams, groans... mixed together, it's just a mess, but it seems particularly full of vitality.

Xiang Nan did not enter Tetuga Harbor to indulge in pleasure with those people. He came to a secluded place behind Tetuga Harbor and threw the Aztec gold coin in his hand into the sea.

The gold coin suddenly shook, and an unpredictable ripple spread far away.

For a moment, the air around them seemed to get a little colder. The moonlit night became dim in an instant. Even the bustling Tetuga Harbor seemed to become a little deserted.

Xiang Nan knew that the gold coin had already sent the message, and the Black Pearl would soon be approaching like a shark smelling blood.

Because Captain Hector Barbossa and his crew had been tortured by the curse of the gold coin for many years.

Although they are immortal, they can fight without scruples when robbing, so that they can do almost whatever they want on the sea and are invincible.

But no matter how much money they robbed, they couldn't spend it; no matter how much food they robbed, they couldn't satisfy their hunger; no matter how much wine they drank, they couldn't quench their thirst; no matter how beautiful the woman was, they could only stare blankly...

So they had had enough and wanted to get rid of this damn curse as soon as possible. So once they received the signal from the gold coin, they would come immediately.

The reason why Xiang Nan chose to send the signal in Tetuga is because Tetuga is a rare free port.

Even if Barbosa was bold and reckless, he couldn't attack here, otherwise it would cause public outrage.

Xiang Nan then left a piece of wood on the shore and told Barbossa that he had an appointment with him to meet there tomorrow night, and then he used Apparition to leave.

……

Just four hours after Xiang Nan left, a pitch-black ship approached the shore at high speed.

Then a captain wearing a captain's hat with a swirling feather on it came to the shore with his men.

Under the moonlight, these people all looked like skeletons, skinny and bony, glowing brightly, and looked particularly creepy.

"Look for the gold coin immediately. I can feel that it was nearby just now." the captain ordered.

"Captain, I didn't find anyone, but I found this." A skeleton with one eyeball rolling around picked up the wooden board left by Xiang Nan and handed it to the captain.

"He actually dares to ask me to meet him tomorrow?! Okay, tomorrow, I'll wait for tomorrow." The captain broke the wooden board inch by inch.

……

Xiang Nan returned to Port Royal.

The next day, he first inspected the military camp, watched the soldiers training, then had breakfast, and then handled official business.

While he was busy, he heard a voice calling out, "Mr. Norrington~" Xiang Nan looked up and saw Elizabeth poking her head in.

"It's you, Elizabeth." Xiang Nan smiled and stood up to greet her. "Why are you here to see me?"

"No, I'm bored at home, so I wanted to see if there's anything fun here." Elizabeth said with a smile.

There was no formal school in Port Royal, so she didn't have to go to school specifically. She just had to learn poetry, history, arithmetic, literature, music, dance, painting, etc. from a tutor.

Although she was not a noble, she still had to master etiquette, rhetoric, French, Latin, etc.

"This is a military camp, what fun can there be?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But, by the way, I did make a small gift for you."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of roller skates from the drawer. The shoes were made of cowhide, the soles were made of oak, and each shoe had four wheels on it.

"What is this? What strange shoes, why do they have wheels?" Elizabeth took the shoes and asked in confusion.

"Try it on first and see if it fits." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Elizabeth nodded, took off her original shoes, revealing her smooth feet, and changed into the roller skates prepared by Xiang Nan, which were just the right size.

This is not surprising. After all, Xiang Nan's craftsmanship is at the highest level, better than the best shoemakers in Europe.

But after putting on roller skates, Elizabeth couldn't stand up. Because the shoes had wheels, she would slide away as soon as she pushed off the ground, leaving her with no leverage.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan smiled, walked forward and helped her stand up, then held her arm and let her walk around the office.

Smart Elizabeth immediately understood how to play with roller skates.

It turns out that this kind of shoes is so interesting. When you step on them, you will suddenly feel like you are flying in the clouds. It is really amazing.

"It's so fun and interesting." She couldn't help but cheer, "Mr. Norrington, thank you for your gift."

"You're welcome, but don't let your father know. I'm afraid he will say that I have corrupted his daughter." Xiang Nan reminded with a smile.

"What don't you want me to know?" Governor Weatherby Swann came in and asked with a smile. Then he saw the pair of roller skates on Elizabeth's feet.

"Oh, my God." Weatherby immediately realized that something was wrong and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Europe at that time was not as feudal as China, it was still required that ladies of noble families should not go out of the house and stay in the embroidery building all day long to learn knitting, needlework and how to manage the household.

However, noble ladies still have etiquette. There are corresponding etiquettes for their actions, sitting, lying, speech, behavior, even eating and drinking.

Weatherby also wanted her daughter to be a lady, not a crazy girl walking around in a pair of rolling shoes. That was inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, Governor. It's my fault." Xiang Nan apologized quickly, "I shouldn't have given her such a gift."

"No, Dad, I like it." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"That's what I'm worried about, Elizabeth. You should come back with me." Weatherby smiled bitterly, and then said to Xiang Nan, "I'm sorry, James, I spoiled her. She shouldn't disturb you at work."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Norrington." Elizabeth waved to Xiang Nan, then helped Weatherby leave, "Dad, hold on to me."
