Chapter 4503 4505 [Holding a Wedding]

Afterwards, Xiang Nan formally proposed marriage to Governor Weatherby.

Governor Weatherby naturally agreed readily.

On the one hand, anyone with eyes could see Xiang Nan's talent and future. He was already capable of standing on his own at a young age, and he would become an admiral sooner or later.

Such a promising young man would be very popular not only in the remote rural area of ​​Port Royal, but also in the upper class of British society.

On the one hand, Elizabeth marrying Xiang Nan was actually marrying up.

Because Xiang Nan was the only son of Admiral Lawrence Norrington, he had the right to inherit the property. Although Elizabeth was the only daughter of Weatherby, she actually had no right to inherit.

The inheritance of Weatherby's wealth lies with his distant nephew. So although Weatherby has a small fortune, the bulk of it needs to go to his nephew, and Elizabeth can 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 it.

"That's settled then." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

He then prepared an engagement ring and gave it to Elizabeth.

The diamond on the ring was as big as a soybean, which made Governor Weatherby and Elizabeth very happy.

Weatherby was happy with the Governor because he knew the value of the ring, which was at least over a thousand pounds, while Elizabeth was happy with the ring simply because it was beautiful.

……

Afterwards, the news that Xiang Nan and Elizabeth were engaged and would officially get married half a year later spread throughout Port Royal.

Everyone who heard the news was envious.

One is a local sheriff, holding great power; the other is the daughter of the governor, a wealthy woman. Their marriage is truly a match made in heaven, and naturally people envy them.

Xiang Nan also sent an invitation to his father in England, inviting him to attend his wedding. Governor Weatherby was naturally not idle either, and invited his relatives and friends to attend.

The arrangements for the wedding are proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

Amazon Island.

Xiang Nan looked at the refined Orichalcum and nodded with satisfaction.

Over the years, through the concerted efforts of the Amazon tribe, these Orichalcums were finally refined.

Orichalcum is a high-tech alloy of Atlantis. It is extremely hard and indestructible. It is known as one of the three major magic mines along with mithril and adamantium. It is very suitable for forging weapons, armor, shields, etc.

"What are you going to do with these orikhagans?" asked Queen Aleksa curiously.

"I plan to use it to build a set of armor." Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "An indestructible and powerful armor."

In fact, he had already planned it. He planned to combine a series of artifacts he had collected into a set of armor, such as the War God Belt, Frost Wristguards, Double Horn Crown, Storm Stone, etc.

By then, this armor will not only have amazing defensive capabilities, but also have a variety of magical functions.

For example, the War God Belt can make him full of strength, the Frost Wristbands 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 conceiving his own armor.

He had to ensure that the armor could protect him and at the same time be flexible enough so as not to affect his body movements. More importantly, what other artifacts were suitable to be inlaid on it.

Xiang Nan carried out a series of ideas for this purpose and drew more than 3,000 drawings.

Thanks to his knowledge of Atlantis, Alexander the Great and the Quetzalcoatl Kukulkan, it was not difficult for him to build armor.

He also selected more than 20 strange items that could be equipped on the armor, including the War God Belt, Frost Wristbands, Two-Horned Crown, Storm Stone, Shaman Totem, Sun God Staff, Magnetite, Sword in the Stone, Holy Lance, Seven Rings, Blue Pearl, Fire of Purification, etc.

……

After designing the armor and exotic items, exactly half a year had passed.

Xiang Nan and Elizabeth's wedding was also officially held.

For this purpose, Admiral Lawrence Norrington came all the way from England to Port Royal. In addition, senior executives of the East India Company, relatives and friends of Governor Wetherby also came to show their support.

In the past few years, under Xiang Nan's rule, Port Royal has been peaceful and prosperous.

Even though the sea goddess Calypso wreaked havoc a few years ago, Port Royal still suffered the least losses and was able to pay taxes in full and on time.

Therefore, 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, which promoted him to a higher position.

You have to know that Xiang Nan was promoted to colonel just last year, which is less than a year ago. It takes at least three or four years for an average person to be promoted from colonel to brigadier general.

Therefore, this speed of promotion can really be called amazing.

Firstly, it is thanks to Xiang Nan's outstanding performance, which has maintained the security of the Caribbean Sea very well; secondly, it is also easy to be an official if you have someone in the court. After all, one should consider the Buddha's face, and who can make things difficult for an admiral?

Admiral Lawrence was also very satisfied with his son's performance.

Over the years, he captured nearly a thousand pirates and effectively protected the navigation safety of Port Royal and surrounding waters, which is a great achievement.

You should know that pirates in other regions are very rampant, especially those in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. There are tens of thousands of them, who often rob merchant ships of the East India Company, causing considerable losses.

Only in the Caribbean, there was almost no trouble, so George II, the East India Company and Lawrence were all very satisfied.

"Son, I'm proud of your performance." Lawrence said to Xiang Nan, "I was originally worried that letting you take charge at such a young age would harm you. But your performance has dispelled my doubts about you. Well done."

"Thank you, Dad, for not disappointing you in me." Xiang Nan also nodded and smiled.

He knew that the reason why the Caribbean Sea was relatively peaceful was, firstly, because he was capable enough, and secondly, because Jack, the Pirate King of the Caribbean, himself was not a person who liked to rob and plunder.

Although Barbossa enjoyed being a pirate, he and his crew were no longer immortal, so even if they wanted to rob, they would not come near Port Royal.

After all, the two large ships in Royal Port are not only fast but also have strong firepower. The key is that Xiang Nan is really ruthless. Anyone who dares to wander around Royal Port will be defeated.

Therefore, Barbosa and his gang usually only hang around in Florida, Brazil and other Spanish colonies. After the Spanish battleships were destroyed by the British in the last century, they have never been able to recover, so they are a soft persimmon that can be easily squeezed.

It is for this reason that the Caribbean Sea is considered peaceful.
