Infinite Movie World

Chapter 240 Promotion
Now, Captain Jack wants to snatch the Interceptor in order to find and catch up with the Black Pearl and take back his own ship.

There are countless ships in this ocean, but Captain Jack only loves his own Black Pearl.

Even if he was given the strongest "Flying Dutchman", he would not change it.

When Captain Jack was fiddling with the steering wheel, the two guards rushed over in a panic with muskets in hand.

"Hey! You guys! Come down!"

"This is not a boat you can get on!"

Captain Jack shrugged, "Sorry, I just want to try my hand."

The thin man asked sharply, "What's your name!"

Captain Jack said solemnly: "Smith! Of course, you can also call me Miss, or Xiaoshi."

The fat man asked: "What is your purpose in coming to Port Royal! Don't lie!"

Captain Jack shrugged, "Well, I admit, I confess, I came here to rob a ship, because my poor boat has sunk, after I grab a suitable ship , I will go to the pirate port of Tortuga to recruit some sailors to burn, kill and loot, and kill all those traitors."

The fat man said angrily: "I said so! Don't lie!"

The thin man hesitated for a moment, "...Why do I think he is lying if he doesn't want to?"

The fat man sneered: "How is this possible? If he wasn't lying, how could he tell us the truth?"

"However, if he is lying, then every word he says is false, and there is no such thing as telling the truth. Since he is telling the truth, then he is not lying."

"I think he's lying!"

"I don't think he is!"

The two guards quarreled again.

Captain Jack took the opportunity to check the interception and make final preparations before sailing.

And Xufeng stood calmly on the deck, patiently watching the two guards quarreling.

……at the same time.

In a military fort on a sea cliff.

Brigadier General James Norrington's promotion ceremony has finally come to an end.

Elizabeth Swan, who was standing in the family area to watch the ceremony, stared at the hot noon sun by the sea and kept fanning the ladies. Her face was extremely ugly, and her waist was so strangled that she couldn't breathe.

A lady's fan is not originally used to fan the wind, but as a handy thing of a lady, it is used to cover a smile.

But Elizabeth could not wait to fan her fan.

James Norrington was a standard soldier, with a tall stature, a resolute face, tight mouth corners, and a calm and reticent look.

His age is not young, he is 35 years old this year.

Because of sailing in the ocean all year round, he delayed his marriage.

Now that he has been promoted to Brigadier General, he can stay in Port Royal for a long time instead of taking the route to and from England and the Caribbean. Naturally, he has time to think about lifelong affairs.

Facing the ceremonial knife array prepared for him by the sailors, he walked slowly towards Governor Swan with his hands behind his back.

Governor Swan was all smiles, looking at his "future son-in-law" happily.

He knew early on that today was not only a matter of James' promotion to brigadier general, James would also propose to his favorite Elizabeth—this was of course a gentleman's behavior with his permission in advance.

Governor Swann is very satisfied with James. From Governor Swann's point of view, this brigadier general is very reliable and stable, and his status is detached, and he has great prospects for development in the future.

If he could marry James Norrington, he would really be the emperor of Port Royal.

As for the age gap between James and Elizabeth, Governor Swan didn't care.

The most important thing for a man is identity and ability, not appearance and age.

As long as the two families can get married, his future grandson can continue to inherit the fertile territory of Port Royal, and their family will prosper from generation to generation.

Thinking of the bright future, the smile on Governor Swan's face became even brighter.

With a steady pace, James walked through the ritual knife circle, and stood straight in front of Governor Swann.

Governor Swann took out the royal decree, read out the content of James Norrington's promotion in public, and then happily took out the "Breaking Water" sword from the luxurious sword box.

James drew out the water-breaking sword, swung it skillfully, and then put the sword back into its sheath.

"Thank you, Governor."

Governor Swan said with a smile: "Brigadier general, how about this sword?"

"……very good."

"It took the blacksmith Old Brown half his life to cast it, and I spent 500 gold coins for it!"

"Thank you very much." James was not good at words, but he was really grateful to Governor Swan in his heart.

Governor Swan said with a smile: "Today is your big day, I wish you success."

"Ok."

James took a deep breath and nodded to Governor Swan.

After the promotion ceremony was over, everyone dispersed while talking and laughing. Elizabeth also heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to return to the carriage.

James came over with his hands behind his back, "...Elizabeth, I have something to tell you."

Elizabeth's face was full of pain, "Can't it be another day?"

"No." James said bluntly.

Elizabeth sighed, "Okay, let's talk quickly."

James looked around, "There are too many people here, let's go to the observation deck over there and talk."

Elizabeth looked at the steep steps and nodded helplessly.

Why go to the lookout?
Because there is a wide field of vision, you can have a panoramic view of Port Royal.

In a picturesque place, people are naturally in a good mood. When a person is in a good mood, the probability of a successful marriage proposal will naturally increase greatly.

James walked towards the observation deck in a muffled voice, and Elizabeth followed James, climbing up one level after another with difficulty.

She was already out of breath, and now she is even more uncomfortable.

The guards on the observation deck had been arranged by James long ago, and there were only James and Elizabeth on the entire platform.

Elizabeth leaned on the wall, fanning her fan with pain on her face.

"You look beautiful, Elizabeth," James said.

Elizabeth's face was covered with sweat, and her expression was so embarrassed that she had to try her best to pretend to be happy to respond to James, "Thank you, Brigadier General."

James cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and shifted his gaze to the vast ocean, "I would like to apologize for my abruptness. Although I am sorry, I must speak my heart."

He dared not look Elizabeth in the eye.

Although on the battlefield, he can face the threat of death directly, but in the field of love, he is so nervous that he is even worse than a recruit.

He swallowed with difficulty, opened his mouth, and continued for a long time before continuing: "...This, this promotion, I am finally relieved. I am over 30 years old this year, and I am the most promoted among the naval soldiers in England. Hurry up, I am also the youngest brigadier general, I am proud of this, of course, this is also inseparable from the cooperation of your father, Governor Swan."

He obviously asked for marriage, but he was still full of official words.

Elizabeth behind him was pale, and every breath seemed extremely labored.
