Chapter 4503 4505 [Holding a Wedding]

Afterwards, Xiang Nan formally proposed to Governor Weatherby.

Governor Weatherby naturally agreed to this.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan's talent and future can be seen by anyone. He is young and can already stand on his own, and sooner or later he will become an admiral.

Such a promising young man, let alone in the remote Royal Port, is quite popular even in the upper class of the British mainland.

On the one hand, Elizabeth's marriage to Xiang Nan is actually considered to be a high-class marriage.

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

The right to inherit Weatherby's wealth is with his distant nephew. So although Weatherby has a little family wealth, the bulk of it needs to be given to his nephew, and Elizabeth can only take a dowry.

So if his daughter can marry Xiang Nan, it is the best choice, and he is very optimistic about it.

"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, which made Governor Weatherby and Elizabeth very happy.

Governor Weatherby was happy because he knew the value of the ring was at least more than one thousand pounds. And Elizabeth was just happy because the ring was beautiful.

…

Then, the news that Xiang Nan and Elizabeth were engaged and would be officially married in half a year had spread throughout the Royal Port.

Everyone who heard the news was envious.

One was a local sheriff with great power; the other was the daughter of the governor, a rich woman. Their combination was really a match made in heaven, and naturally people envied them.

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

And the arrangements for the wedding were proceeding in an orderly manner.

…

Amazon Island.

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

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

Orichalcums are Atlantis' high-tech alloys with extremely high hardness and indestructibility. They are ranked alongside mithril and fine gold as the three major magic mines, and are very suitable for forging weapons, armor, shields, etc.

"What are you going to do with these Orichalcums?" Queen Alaka asked curiously.

"I'm going to use it to make a set of armor." Xiang Nan thought for a while 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 God of War Belt, Frost Wristband, Double Horn Crown, Storm Stone, etc.

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

For example, the Ares Belt can make him full of power, the Frost Wristband can freeze everything, the Double Horned Crown can give 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 this armor could protect his safety and at the same time be flexible enough so as not to affect his body movements. More importantly, what other artifacts were suitable for inlaying on it.

Xiang Nan made a series of ideas for this, and drew more than 3,000 drawings alone.

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

And he also selected more than 20 strange items that could be installed on the armor, including the Ares Belt, Frost Wristband, Double Horned Crown, Storm Stone, Shaman Totem, Sun God Staff, Magnetite, Sword in the Stone, Holy Lance, Seven Rings, Azure Pearl, Purifying Fire, etc.

……

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

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

For this reason, Admiral Lawrence Norrington traveled thousands of miles from England to Port Royal. In addition, senior executives of the East India Company, relatives and friends of Governor Wetherby, etc., also came to support.

In the past few years, under Xiang Nan's rule, Port Royal has always 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 the United Kingdom 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 made him rise one step higher.

You should know that Xiang Nan was promoted to colonel just last year, and it was actually less than a year away. And it takes at least three or four years for ordinary people to be promoted from colonel to brigadier general.

Therefore, such a promotion speed can really be called amazing speed.

Firstly, it was thanks to Xiang Nan's outstanding performance that he maintained the safety of the Caribbean Sea very well; secondly, it was also because it was easy to be an official if you had someone in the court. After all, who could go against an admiral?

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

In recent years, he has captured nearly a thousand pirates and effectively protected the safety of navigation in Port Royal and surrounding waters, which is a great credit.

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

Only the Caribbean Sea was almost peaceful. Therefore, George II, the East India Company and Lawrence were all very satisfied.

"Son, I am proud of your performance." Lawrence said to Xiang Nan, "I was originally worried that you would be hurt if you were allowed to be on your own at such a young age. But your performance has dispelled my doubts about you. Well done."

"Thank you, father, for not disappointing you." Xiang Nan also nodded and smiled.

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

Although Barbosa liked to be a pirate, he and his crew were no longer immortal, so even if they robbed, they would not come near Port Royal.

After all, the two large ships in Port Royal were not only fast, but also had sufficient firepower. The key was that Xiang Nan was really ruthless. Anyone who dared to come around Port Royal was beaten to a pulp.

Therefore, Barbosa and his gang usually only hang around in Florida, Brazil and other Spanish colonies. After the Spanish battleships were defeated 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 also because of this that the Caribbean Sea is peaceful.
