Chapter 51: The Marquis of Gary
The discord between the two nobles, Lan Ze and Marquis Gary, can be said to be a well-known thing in the rotten aristocratic circles of England, and the grievances between the two have to start from seven or eight years ago.
There is a man involved here who has been dead for a long time, Carter the Marauder.
Carter is a talent, although he died at the hands of Lan Ze, but I have to say that if it were not for Lan Ze's sudden appearance, Carter's life must have been great, and the Royal Docks in the Caribbean would definitely not be as prosperous as it is now.
The reason why Carter is a talent is because Carter knows how to give up two words, in the years when Lan Ze chased and killed the hardest, Carter already felt that he couldn't parry, so he found Gary with five thousand pounds of gold, hoping that Marquis Gary could help him solve Lan Ze's trouble.
Five thousand pounds of gold is a huge amount of money no matter where it is, even for Carter, it is a huge amount of money, and it can almost be said that the family wealth is scattered.
Gary was impressed by the huge benefits, and then Carter became a baron with a plunder license, which allowed Carter to continue to provide Gary with money, and the status of a baron could make Lan Ze unable to do anything to Carter, which was a perfect plan.
After all, this is England in the 17th century, and the status of the nobility is very high, and the status of the Marquis of Gary is enough to deter many people.
It's a pity that Lan Ze doesn't care about these useless things, and kills Carter without giving any face, this is the first feud between the two, but because Lan Ze was already a baron at the time, plus Lan Ze insisted that he didn't do it himself, and there were no witnesses around, this matter was over.
Because of Lan Ze's lack of face, Gary's majesty was damaged, so there was a second feud, Gary found Governor Swan, hoping that Governor Swan could solve Lan Ze, but unfortunately, in that situation at that time, Governor Swan was a grasshopper tied to a rope with Lan Ze, so Marquis Gary was politely rejected by Governor Swan.
So the angry Gary found a group of men to kill Lan Ze, to Gary's bad feeling, his own men failed, and blew himself out, attacking a baron, although it will not let Gary get in trouble, but it also makes Gary anxious for a while.
There are no secrets in the aristocratic circles, and two successive failures made Gary the laughing stock of the aristocratic circles, and at the same time, Lan Ze was promoted to viscount because he killed pirates and guarded the wealth of the British Empire.
A viscount is different from a baron, a baron is the foundation, as long as you have a clean background, and then have a certain contribution to the British Empire, you can have a baron, and the viscount not only needs to contribute, but also needs the introduction of a count level or above, but it just so happens that Governor Swan is an earl.
Then after cleaning up the Marquis of Gary who was in trouble, it was very troublesome to kill a viscount, but Gary was a marquis after all, and he actually knew how to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
More than a dozen warships, which were mixed with pirates and navies disguised as pirates, with a team of thousands of people, surrounded Lan Ze, and then in Lan Ze's second state, one person, one mast, was simply wiped out!
Because everyone knew that Gary and Lan Ze did not deal with each other, so before killing Lan Ze, Gary walked a lot of information, both about Lan Ze and about himself, in short, he gave himself sufficient alibi evidence, and then Lan Ze became famous!
One man exterminated what Marquis Gary called this vicious and inhuman pirate group.
With this credit, Lan Ze was actually promoted to the earl! This made Gary very angry, but he was helpless, because it was an order from the Prince,
What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot? The Marquis of Gary is the best portrayal of this!
So Gary hates Lan Ze, in fact, the reason why Lan Ze became an earl with no real power has an inseparable relationship with Marquis Gary.
Lan Ze thought about killing Marquis Gary, but after hesitating for a long time, he still gave up, Britain at this moment is still very powerful, and it is not something he can provoke. However, that naval battle also let Gary know that he was not easy to mess with, so although the two stumbled on each other, they were not too out of line, and this Ocean King was obtained by Gary through some relationship.
"Sparrow, Barbossa, I'll go out first, stay here honestly, I'll try to take them away, Will, Elizabeth, you come with me." After a moment's hesitation, Lan Ze made a decision, compared to this useless Marquis Gary who only makes trouble for himself, Sparrow and Barbossa, the two pirate characters throughout the Caribbean, are more important, especially Sparrow, who is a key factor in whether or not he can obtain the Norwegian Sea Monster.
"Shall we leave? I said Lan Ze, not really, right? You're underestimating my Captain Sparrow, and you're just firing a cannonball, so you're not scared of your guts, are you? Sparrow said indifferently, Barbossa on the side also looked at Lan Ze with some puzzlement, with two battleships, the Black Pearl and the Dreadnought, plus more than a hundred excellent sailors, even if the other party is the East India Company, he dares to shoot at it!
"Just a cannonball?" Lan Ze sneered: "You probably don't know who the other party is!" I'll admit that the Black Pearl is powerful, but the other side is the Ocean King! The big guy with a 100-round battery! Are you sure you're not going up to die? ”
"I'll rub!" Sparrow looked at Lan Ze in disbelief, "No, you need to use the King to capture pirates?" ”
As for Barbossa, after hearing that the other party was the Ocean King, his face was gloomy and ordered the sailors to be on guard, not to be discovered, in the face of a terrifying battleship that can send out a ton of shells, his small body really didn't dare to fight hard, and even if he was under the immortal curse, he didn't want to fight with such a monster-level battleship!
"Of course it's not enough to capture pirates, but if it's me," Lan Ze sneered, "That's different. ”
"Marquis Gary?" Elizabeth is the only daughter of Governor Swan, and she knows about the dirty affairs between these nobles, so she subconsciously guessed the Marquis of Gary.
"Who else but him?" Lan Ze said angrily, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, it won't be long, in another year, as long as Jones appears and he gets the blood of the Norwegian sea monster, he will make this Marquis Gary pay the due price!
A small wooden boat, carrying three people from Lan Zewell and Elizabeth, stood on the huge deck of the Ocean King, looking at Lan Ze on the small ship through the telescope, although Marquis Gary wanted to order the cannon very much, but looking at half of his ship's subordinates belonging to Governor Swan, Marquis Gary endured!
Marquis Gary began to regret that he shouldn't have taken Governor Swan with a soft heart in the first place, although he liked the gold given by Governor Swan, but compared to gold, he liked Lan Ze's life more!
After boarding the ship, Elizabeth saw her father Governor Swan at a glance, Governor Swan was still that good-natured, white and pure, looking kind, but the moist eyes showed that Governor Swan was very excited at this time.
"Daddy!" Elizabeth ran over and hugged Governor Swan.
"My Elizabeth, my daughter, thin, dark, wronged, damned pirates, I will kill them!" Looking at the murderous Governor Swan, Lan Ze couldn't figure out, where did Elizabeth lose weight? It's a little darker, but don't you find it prettier?
"Ahem! Count Swan, although I don't want to interrupt your reunion, although it is very touching, I want to say that the murderer of all this is the pirate! So we're going to kill the daring pirates! Especially Jack Perry, who masterminded it all! The Marquis of Gary said righteously.
"Hehe! Gary, when did you become so righteous? Lan Ze said mockingly, feeling a little strange in his heart, how could Gary pay attention to Sparrow?
"Count Lanze, please don't doubt a nobleman's sense of justice! Also, be aware of who you are! Marquis Gary snorted coldly, and became more and more dissatisfied with Lan Ze, who made himself unable to raise his head three or four times, and did not have the corresponding respect for himself, an old nobleman!
Gary said that the identity refers to the title, Lan Ze has a title, and the title is not low, the British title comes from our country, and it is graded according to the five grades of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, but later a prince was added.
Previously, Lan Ze was said to be a lord for two reasons, one is that the lord originally meant a title given to a minister by the imperial court, and by extension, it was an honorific title for male British nobles.
Another reason is because in addition to the duke, the remaining four ranks of titles can call themselves lords, the title of Governor of Swan is Earl, Ranze is also an earl, Gary is a marquis, and the nobility rank is one level higher than Lanze.
And the aristocratic rank can be much different from the bureaucratic hierarchy, and the power is also very different, for example, the earl is equivalent to the mayor, and the marquis is equivalent to the governor, which is why the Marquis of Gary has always been unhappy with Lanze.
"Identity? Hehe! Lan Ze sneered and stretched: "Okay, we should go back, I miss my big bed a little." ”
"No, we've got to catch the damn Jack Perry! Catch this damn pirate who plots everything! Gary stopped hearing this, and although he came here to help Governor Swan find his daughter, it was more important to find Jack Perry and get his compass.
"Who told you it was all planned by Jack Perry?" Lan Ze glared and looked at Gary viciously.
"Who else but him? I've got enough information that Spyri is on that island! Gary glared at Lan Ze without showing any weakness.
"Who told you that Sparrow was on the island? There was no one on the island, and Elizabeth was not kidnapped, I brought Elizabeth out. Lan Ze retorted, knowing that Jack Perry couldn't be handed over to the Navy right now.
"You brought Elizabeth out? So why didn't Governor Swan know? And you can sail the sea with just your small boat? Do you think I'm a fool! There's also the theft of the Dreadnought by your disciples and the formation of a pirate organization, which have already been recruited! Looking at Lan Ze's quibble, Gary yelled in annoyance.
"Governor Swan didn't know it was because Elizabeth didn't tell him that Will had stolen the Dreadnought? Hehe, the Dreadnought was mine, and I came here with Elizabeth on the Dreadnought. As for the pirates in your mouth, those are the aquatic creatures I recruited, the navy. Lan Ze quibbled.
"Hmph, Lan Ze, I can't talk about you, but I will complain to the Duke." Looking at Lan Ze viciously, Gary said angrily: "Get out of the way, I'm going to that island!" ”
"Don't let it!" How could Lan Ze let Gary land on the island? Sparrow and Barbossa are still up there.
"Get out of the way!" Gary's eyes were already starting to burn, and Marquis Gary decided that if Lan Ze didn't get out of the way again, he would let him know how powerful he was!
It's a pity that Lan Ze is more decisive than Gary, and raising his hand is a slap: "Let you ringgit!" Lori is verbose, get out of the way! ”
Lan Ze's strength is well controlled, neither light nor heavy, and he can't kill Gary, but before tomorrow morning, Marquis Gary won't wake up.
Looking at the stunned sailors around him, Lan Ze snorted coldly: "Look at a fart!" I didn't see Lao Tzu! Sail, anchor and back to Port Royal!! ”
The surrounding people suddenly scattered, this is a master who dares to beat the marquis!
And everyone also knows that there is a discord between Earl Lanze and Marquis Gary, and the gods are fighting, so it's better not to mix with these mortals.
As for Jack Sparrow? What the hell is that!
