Chapter 39 Arrival and Banquet [Cute newbies, please recommend and collect]

As this new and powerful second-class battleship sailed into the port, other ships gave way, causing a huge commotion.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this guy is not easy to mess with. The shiny gun barrel and the wide deck all show a good background.

Either the navy or it has a close relationship with the navy. Such a powerful and violent force is not something they can provoke.Now we have to give in as far as we can. If we get bumped into someone, we might end up in jail.

The soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Republic of Korea at the naval port pier were confused when they saw this unfamiliar ship flying the flag of the Republic of China. The soldiers on duty hurriedly went to the head of the Navy at Port Royal, Captain James Norrington.

Rey looked at the two warships moored in the naval port. One was a three-masted sailing ship, which was much larger than his Newfoundland. Its displacement could reach about 3200 tons. It was equipped with 100 artillery pieces and had four artillery decks. , it looks like the first-class battleship Dreadnought in the movie.

The other ship is a brig, which looks relatively small in comparison. It has about 20 guns. It should be the interceptor that is known as the fastest warship. Looking at its size and size, you can tell that it is an armed merchant ship. Mainly responsible for offshore patrol ships, anti-smuggling, scientific investigation or pursuit of pirates and other tasks.

However, Rey heard that this type of ship is very popular with pirates because of its shallow draft, wide deck, fast speed, and easy maintenance.No wonder Jack Sparrow set his sights on it...

While Rey was observing the ship for a short while, a vacant military port pier was also filled with Korean navy soldiers wearing red lobster suits, and a man wearing a dark blue officer's uniform was crowded in the middle.

The ship docked slowly next to the pier, dropped its anchor, and a trestle connected the ship to the pier.

Rey and the officer both came forward to exchange greetings and introduce themselves to the situation.

"Hello! Colonel Norrington, I am Ray Lord, Earl of Newfoundland. Nice to meet you!"

"Hello! Lord Earl, it's an honor to meet you! May I ask what this is..."

"Nothing, Colonel. I just came to the Caribbean for a vacation. This is my Newfoundland and its crew. How about my Newfoundland? Isn't my Newfoundland good?"

"Of course, it looks beautiful! How can I help you?"

"Well, I really need your help. I brought 700 crew members this time, and I have to find a military camp to accommodate them. Colonel, do you have any suggestions?"

"Well... there is a temporarily abandoned old military camp a little further away from here, about 1.5 kilometers away. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, please lead the way."

After leaving 50 men to guard the ship, Rey led the remaining soldiers out in a long blue queue and followed Norrington to the old military camp.Norrington looked at the long dragon and the mighty Newfoundland, and shook his head in his heart: Who takes so many people on vacation, the number of people and the firepower can tell that there is a big deal, but the matter of the big nobles is too troublesome, so I don't want to get involved for good...

Arriving at the old military camp, Rey looked around carefully. This was an old military camp that was protected by two cliffs and faced the sea on one side. It looked like it had been abandoned for a while, and some walls were even cracked. The road here is also more dangerous and rugged.

Norrington's face was a little red and embarrassed. He did not expect that the old military camp was so damaged. He coughed a few times to get out of the embarrassing situation and then opened his mouth to explain. Rey then decided to buy it and its surroundings on the spot.Because this location is hidden enough, it was not visible at all in the previous port, and it also has a good pier that can be used as long as it is repaired. The only drawback is that the water at the pier is too shallow and the road from the port is relatively rough. , but it's not a big problem for him.In the future it will become an important foothold for the family in the Caribbean and play an important role in his subsequent plans.

Not only did he organize soldiers to repair the general camp and strengthen the defense in the evening of the same day ("turning mud into stone" and "fossils into mud" are indeed the dreams of civil engineers), he also expanded the dock port and deepened the water depth of the port. That night He parked the ship in his own territory.

The military camps were also stationed on both sides of the cliff to monitor the movements of Port Royal at any time. At the same time, the road was widened and leveled so that horse-drawn carriages could directly connect to the outside world.

Port Royal also became a hot topic because of Rey's arrival.After all, this is the first time I have seen a noble young master with a lot of money, a high position, powerful power, a real fiefdom and a noble title in this remote place. I believe that even in the foggy city, there are few who can compare with him.

The merchants and minor nobles covet his power and status, the officials are jealous and envious of his strength, the pirates covet his ships and money, and the girls covet his peerless appearance and want to have it all...

In such a warm atmosphere, the next morning, the Governor of Port Royal, Wetherby Swan, sent Rey an invitation to welcome him to the welcome banquet (starting at 3 p.m.), although Rey I was very reluctant to participate but had no choice. If I refused, it would definitely embarrass the governor and everyone would be embarrassed.

There is a reason why Rey hates banquets so much. From the beginning, Rey was forced by the dark cuisine of the country of Yu to make enough food and clothing by himself. If you think about his current cooking skill level 6 (white), you will know that he must have done a lot of cooking. , it can be seen that the shock is not light.

In his previous life, Rey remembered that Korean cuisine only consisted of fried fish and fried potatoes that were edible, but now it was basically fried fish, and potatoes only appeared on the menu after growing them himself in the past two years, allowing him to escape the misery for the time being.

But compared to the banquet, cooking and other things are just gadgets.Not only are banquets extremely extravagant and even wasteful, but such banquets (dinners) usually last four to five hours. The banquet food may have 40 to 70 dishes, but according to the dining process established by the Sun King of Versailles, it is basically just I could eat some of the dishes in front of me.

What made him collapse the most was etiquette, which reached the highest level of FUSS (composition).For example, there are even restrictions on going to the toilet to relieve oneself.In order not to affect the "conversation", anyone who needs convenience can only go to a small side room of the restaurant, without blocking the position that all guests can see.In the face of etiquette, there is no privacy.

Although Rey has been accustomed to the aristocratic life of the country for many years, he is still very unaccustomed to its food and various etiquette that now seem extremely weird and awkward.With tears in his eyes, he said: I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

…………

Skipping the stage of the banquet that made Rey pale and disgusted, after dinner, the waiter removed the food from the table, and finally even the tablecloth was removed, which meant that all the rules could be put down, and Rey finally felt alive. Retrieve a dog's life.

The guests were now free to move around and chat as they pleased, the men continued drinking and the women went elsewhere to drink coffee and chat.

Rey, on the other hand, has fallen into the stage of wolf-eating. The wealthy daughters all stared at Rey's handsome face with a sparkling light. Everyone wanted to be the Countess of Newfoundland, but with more wolves and less meat, no one could. No rash actions.
