The infiltration was very smooth, and Xin Sheng easily climbed up the fortress wall.

The soldiers guarding the fortress gate yawned one by one, and their peace had slackened their will for a long time. I'm afraid these soldiers would never expect anyone to break into the fortress rashly.

After all, there is nothing valuable in this fortress barracks, and most of the property in the colony is stored in the Governor's Mansion.

"Sher~"

Seeing the blind spots of soldiers patrolling, Xin Sheng popped up the hook blade, hung it on the rope connecting the ground and the fortress city, and quickly slid into the military camp.

Xin Sheng, who observed the layout of the military camp in advance during the day, did not waste any time and made rapid progress towards James Norrington's office with a purpose.

At this time, there was still a fire in Colonel Norrington's office. I wonder if I were making final preparations for the upcoming promotion ceremony.

Outside the office, two officers in dark blue uniforms were talking in a low voice.

"Are the Colonel too nervous? This appointment is just a matter of time."

"The Colonel is not nervous about promotion, he intends to propose to the Governor's daughter on the day of the ceremony."

"Ah? Isn't the Governor's daughter only 17 years old? Colonel he already..."

"Shh! Don't you want to do it anymore? Shut up."

The two officers left while gossiping, and one of them called the soldiers in red waiting beside him.

"Soldier, come back to your post and protect the colonel."

"yes!"

After the two officers left, the soldier curled his lips obscurely and stood in front of Norrington's office with a tired expression.

"I just know how to call people..."

Xin Sheng, hiding in the shadow, quietly popped up the magic blade and pointed the crossbow arrow at the soldier who was complaining in a low voice.

"Swoosh~"

The crossbow arrow shot from the pocket crossbow flew over the exposed calves under the soldier's shorts and military uniform, leaving a tiny blood mark.

"Ao~"

The soldier shouted, subconsciously touching the wound that was scratched and bleeding.

"What the hell?"

‘10,9,8…’

This crossbow arrow was deliberately shot by Xin Sheng. The purpose was not to kill the enemy, but to let the powerful hypnotic pills applied on the crossbow arrow be integrated into his blood.

“Ha~”

The already depressed soldier was quickly so sleepy that he yawned, leaning against the wall outside the office with his eyelids, and his breathing gradually became even.

Xin Sheng, who took the opportunity to take action, recovered the crossbow arrow that was shot, went to the office window, took out a mirror, and observed the situation in the house through the mirror reflection.

"Elizabeth, I can come with me...No."

"Elizabeth, I have something to say... it's not OK."

James Norrington is a handsome man about 30 years old. At this time, the British gentlemanly Colonel was anxiously pacing in the office with his hands behind his back.

‘Puff~ It turns out that I am practicing how to propose.’

When Xin Sheng's eyes became very pity when he thought that Elizabeth's heart was not on Norrington at all.

‘Poor spare tire, your practice is destined to be useless.’

After observing Cheng Shi in the office, Xin Sheng noticed the brigade general's uniform that had not been officially used on the clothes hanger.

While Norrington turned around and murmured in a low voice, Xin Sheng entered silently from the window as quickly as possible. Before Norrington turned around, he stuffed Aztec gold coins into the brigade general's pocket.

‘Done.’

The boots in the Artemis leather armor set have a sound suppressing effect, and Norrington, who was busy with inner activities, did not notice Xin Sheng's in and out at all.

"God bless me, hope I get a positive response."

‘God can’t bless you, should you try praying to Calypso?’

After jokingly complaining in his heart, Xin Sheng left the military camp without anyone noticing it.

"The stage has been built, so the actors should be in place."

...

Three days before the promotion ceremony began, Xin Sheng, who was getting up early, unexpectedly received an exquisite letter.

"Give it to me?"

Xin Sheng did not expect that Governor Swan actually sent an invitation letter to enter the venue.

"Yes."

The old housekeeper wearing a silver wig smiled politely: "His Governor hopes that the ship owner of Shin will participate in Colonel Norrington's promotion ceremony, and take this opportunity to get to know some senior officials from the Jamaican colony."

‘Invest in advance? I am worthy of being an old politician.’

Xin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Please convey my sincere thanks to Governor Swan on my behalf, and I will definitely be there on time."

After seeing off the butler of the Governor's Office, Xin Sheng sang the envelope at his fingertips with fun.

"It just so happens that you can watch the show closer now."

On the day of the ceremony, Xin Sheng put the British gentleman's clothes sent by the housekeeper outside and arrived early at the fortress barracks that he had visited not long ago.

This time he showed his invitation letter openly.

Some senior officials and socialites in the Jamaican colony have arrived first and maintained their superficial demeanor and are talking to each other.

Xin Sheng looked at the military camp's defenses without any trace.

In order to protect the nobles attending the ceremony, more than 200 soldiers were put into use, and it was difficult to make any trouble in the venue.

However, Xin Sheng didn't plan to do anything here at first. He came here just to watch the show and to gain some favorability according to the situation.

"Cry!"

Daedalus emitted a very penetrating eagle cry from the sky. Norrington, who was making the final preparations, subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"Eagle? Is this auspicious sign?"

Daedalus's cry was to remind his master that the semi-wrecked ship he asked for attention appeared.

Xin Sheng pretended to close his eyes and rest as he rested, and his eyes covered by his eyelids became sharper.

Through the perspective shared by Daedalus, Xin Sheng saw a sloop boat that was soaking in water, and also saw a black-haired pirate standing on the mast to play with coolness.

‘Finally, Jack Sparo.’

Captain Jack just stepped onto the dock when the boat was almost completely sunk.

Xin Sheng also planned to continue observing Jack's whereabouts, but at this time a familiar voice came from not far away from him.

"Mr. Xin, you are really here..."

"You are Sheng Xin? Captain Jackdaw who completed a privateer mission without any damage?"

The first half of the sentence was not finished, from Governor Weatherby Swan.

The female voice with a quick and rapid speech in the second half comes from her daughter, Elizabeth Swan.

‘Oh ~ Trouble.’

Opening his eyes, Xin Sheng smiled and bowed slightly to Governor Swan, who had a helpless look on his face.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Governor Swan."

After receiving the response from the governor, Xin Sheng pretended not to recognize him and turned his eyes to Elizabeth on the side.

"This one is..."

"Cough~"

Governor Swan pulled his daughter with anticipation and said a little embarrassedly: "My daughter Elizabeth, she has been interested in stories related to navigation since she was a child."
