It was late at night, and some of the rooms in the Doge's Palace were still lit, and the brightest window was naturally the room of Governor Swan of Port Royal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The room is lit with two candles the size of an adult's arm, and the candles made from sperm whale whale oil have various advantages, such as being well-lit, without the smoke that hurts the eyes, and on the contrary, there is a refreshing fragrance in the room.

These two candles alone are priceless items, you know, such candles, even in the British royal family, are only used by core members, but from this point, you can see the wealth of Port Royal.

Governor Swan rubbed his temples, brushed his long curly hair away, and looked at the file on the table, the governor who was stammered by many merchants and nobles in the inner city sighed subconsciously.

Others only see the glamorous side of the Governor of Death, but they don't know how much effort he has put into maintaining this semblance.

Port Royal was born out of trade, so it was destined that both the Spanish and the British, who now nominally control the area, would do their best to keep trade prosperous, and this is what Governor Swan has been working towards.

"But how easy is that?"

Governor Swan had a habit of keeping a diary when he first took charge of Port Royal, which he later locked in a chest in the Cabinet and wrote in the locked diary.

"It is the most evil city in human history, and the most depraved, and although only a few tens of thousands of people live here (about a quarter of them are pirates), the city is far more extravagant than London and Paris. ”

"There was no industry in the whole city, but the most luxurious material life could be enjoyed, Chinese silk, Indonesian spices, British industrial goods, gold bars, silver bars and jewellery were flooded with large trade. ”

"I thought I could rid the area of pirates out of Port Royal and make it a better place, but after a few years of trying, I realized that it was an impossible thing to do. ”

"The Dutch, the British, the French, the Prussians, the Norsemen, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Irish, and the blacks, mulattoes...... Countless populations around the world were drawn to the fame of Port Royal and then became pirates under the influence of the environment. ”

"Unless the thriving trade in Port Royal is stopped, piracy can be stopped in the first place. But it is evident that I will be treated like a madman if I make such an opinion, and I must always be careful that my head is not plucked off by the businessmen who are carried away by money......"

Leaning back in his chair and narrowing his eyes, Governor Swan murmured softly.

"It's a good situation right now, and the stable Port Royal is what I want to see, and it has nothing to do with what is in those cabins or how many pirates live in the port area. ”

Knock knock!

"Father, are you asleep?"

The crisp lark-like voice made Governor Swann open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile without any pretentiousness, facing his most beloved daughter, Governor Swann always felt that the softness of his heart was touched.

"My little darling, why haven't you slept so late?"

Listening to the sound of the door opening immediately after the knock, Governor Swan asked with concern.

Dressed in a sky-blue nightdress, the girl, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, came to Governor Swan's side and pretended to look at the file on Governor Swan's desk, but after a few minutes, the girl wrinkled her cute little nose and put the file on the table aside.

"I'll see when my dearest father will not go to bed, these boring dossiers can be read again during the day, why do you have to stay up late at night, you know, you have already begun to grow wrinkles!"

With a chuckle twice, Governor Swan stood up and moved his body, and then put away the file on the table with his hand, and then said with a smile.

"Are you satisfied? Elizabeth. ”

With a soft snort, the corners of Elizabeth's mouth inadvertently curled up slightly, and it was clear that the girl's heart was very satisfied that Governor Swan had listened to her like this.

"By the way, father, did you know that a new merchant from London has moved in to the southwest corner of the inner city? Today Elena told me that the merchant has a pair of rather strange eyes, and it is said that the left eye is a cog, and the right eye is a pointer......

Seeing that Governor Swan was ready to rest, Elizabeth asked as if she remembered something.

After a pause, Governor Swan remembered this man, even if he was busy with things every day, he had heard from the mayor a few days ago that a strange-eyed merchant had applied to settle in the inner city, and he should have been the person Elizabeth was talking about.

"I've heard people say, what, what's the matter, Elizabeth?"

"Ah...... It's nothing, it's just that I have never seen someone with such strange eyes, and when Elena told me today, I still didn't believe it in my heart, but father, you also know this person, so I think there are really people with such strange eyes......"

Elizabeth was clearly a little secretive in her words, which made Governor Swan frown, he didn't want his precious daughter to deal with some strange people. After a moment's pause, Governor Swan reopened the file he had put away, and found in the penultimate file something about the strange man.

"Romon Eric, that's the name of the strange-eyed guy, he opened a shop on the day he settled in the inner city, and I see, the shop specializes in antiques and strange things of unknown origin......"

What is this, that strange man's private interest? collecting strange things to decorate his own house?

Governor Swan's slander against Elizabeth naturally did not know, but when Governor Swan's back was read out to Elizabeth about the operation of Romon's shop, the shrewd Governor Swann did not notice the flash of joy in his daughter's eyes.

"Father, good night, I'll go back to sleep first!"

The musings in his mind were interrupted by Elizabeth's crisp voice, and Governor Swan, who turned around, only to see the door being gently shut, couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Putting down the file in his hand, Governor Swan, who was really sleepy, was not interested in continuing to work on the file, and walked slowly towards his soft bed.

Elizabeth, who hurried back to the room, hurriedly opened the drawer of her dresser, and took out a gold coin with a skull pattern from the compartment in the drawer, not knowing what she was thinking for a while.
