Chapter 108 Elizabeth Arrested
Ethan was not in a hurry to find Jack's whereabouts, although he could easily find this guy with the amulet he left behind.
Since he landed near Port Royal, he was going to see Elizabeth first. He didn't know what the noble lady who had longed for the sea was now.
In the original story, Jack Sparrow was finally arrested and was about to be executed, the little blacksmith Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan joined forces to save Jack and let him go, so that the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow did not die early on the scaffolding platform in Port Royal.
But this also gave the later Lord Beckett a reasonable excuse to obtain authorization from the king, depriving the position of Governor Weatherby Swan and replacing it, becoming the most powerful man in Port Royal.
At the same time, he also arrested the little blacksmith Will Turner and his fiancee Elizabeth. He threatened Will to arrest Jack Sparrow with Elizabeth's life.
If Jack cannot be brought back, Elizabeth and Will will be hanged for collusion with pirates.
Of course, his real purpose is not to destroy the pirates. He even prepared a privateer certificate in advance. If Jack Sparrow is willing, he can become the officially recognized privateer captain.
This is a pretty good bargaining chip, and Lord Beckett's real goal is the compass in Jack's hand.
With the original plot in my head, Ethan has entered the city of Port Royal.
It was similar to when he came last time, and the port city was still dirty, messy and smelly. Ethan hadn't experienced this environment for a while. Even if he went to Azeroth's world where civilization seemed to be more backward, it was not so bad in public health.
I waved my hand to drive away the smell, but this action had no practical effect except for some psychological comfort.
When he walked through the city for a while, left the civilian area and entered the area where the upper class lived, the environment was a little better.
But it's just a little better, roughly the same as walking from the public toilet to the nearest public toilet.
I don’t know if the air was a little fresher, which allowed Ethan, who was so smoky and confused, to restore his IQ. He realized that he is no longer the rookie who cannot release complex magic. Such as magic that isolates harmful gases but ensures that he can breathe normally is not a difficult task for him now.
After waving his hand to cast such a magic on himself, Ethan felt that he was alive and his IQ returned to normal levels.
"In theory, I almost ruined the plot of the first Caribbean film, and some changes should occur later."
However, considering that Lord Beckett was here to deliberately find trouble and wanted to get the compass in Jack Sparrow's hands, Ethan felt that even if Will Turner and Elizabeth had not saved Jack, Lord Beckett would still find excuses to bring down Governor Swan.
He was right. When Ethan found the residence of Governor Swan and saw the Governor who was very polite to him again, he was sighing with grief.
He not only met Governor Swan, but also met the little blacksmith Will Turner.
"You are...Ethan?"
When Ethan and the last time they came, their appearance changed a lot, but they could still tell that it was him. The bigger change was his figure, but fortunately they were just a little taller. This change was not an exaggeration and was within the affordable range.
Governor Swan was not too curious, and he was not in the mood to wonder why Ethan grew a lot taller and became much handsome.
"Long time no see, Governor."
After a brief greeting, Ethan directly asked about Elizabeth's situation.
After this question, the two men in front of him sighed again. Fortunately, Governor Swan did not deliberately keep it in touch and directly told the situation, allowing Ethan to understand why these two men were sitting here with a frown.
"Is Elizabeth arrested?"
It was similar to the original plot, Lord Beckett still came to Port Royal; he still brought the king's authorization to revoke the position of Governor General of Swan and obtained all the powers of Port Royal.
At the same time, Lord Beckett arrested Elizabeth, who was colluding with the pirate Jack Sparrow. However, the little blacksmith Will Turner survived because he had never seen Jack from beginning to end and was not arrested.
Ethan looked at the handsome little blacksmith. In this Caribbean world where he had been harmed by him and the plot changed drastically, Elizabeth still did not get together with Brigadier Norrington after returning to Port Royal, but sparked a spark with the little blacksmith Will Turner. The two of them had originally looked at each other, but they didn't make it clear.
Now the two of them have not been completely identified, but their relationship has indeed become increasingly close. It will not take long for them to determine the relationship if they continue to develop normally.
At this moment, Lord Cutler Beckett appeared.
As a qualified villain, Lord Beckett perfectly attracted all the hatred, and the crisis also stimulated the young men and women in love, allowing them to break the tulle and reveal their feelings.
It can be said that Will and Elizabeth are now a real couple, but the woman is locked in a prison and may be sent to the gallows at any time.
It was at this time that Ethan came to Port Royal again.
Weatherby Swan hopes Ethan can help, after all, Ethan is involved in this incident.
"There is something I have here?"
At that time, Governor Swan believed that Ethan was a noble sent from the country, and it was not very clear whether it was from the military or other departments. But because of this preconceived idea, he helped him so that he could help him, which led to the incident of Brigadier General Norrington sending warships to help him capture the Black Pearl.
This time when Lord Beckett came and counted the crimes of Governor Swan, there was a piece of this: suspected of colluding with unknown people and having close contacts with pirates.
The so-called unknown person refers naturally to Ethan.
Governor Swann used the naval power of Port Royal because Ethan had successfully captured a group of pirates, but there were many problems in the specific details.
You say he is a noble in the country? What about the evidence? Who can prove this?
Taking a person who has no idea of the details on board the warship, and even the entire arrest operation was dominated by a person who has no identity, which is unreasonable no matter what.
You can even suspect that Ethan was a spy sent by the enemy country. As the governor of the overseas colonies of the British Empire, you can't even get a spy. You, the governor, are too dereliction of duty.
Because of this crime, Governor Swan's situation is worse than in the original plot. Not only was he deprived of his identity as Governor, but he was also under house arrest. What awaits him will be returning to the country for trial. If the suspicion cannot be cleared...
"You mean you were under house arrest?"
"Yes."
Ethan narrowed his eyes and didn't pay much attention when he came in. Although there were many soldiers around the mansion, Port Royal itself was a military port, and more soldiers were not noticeable. He thought that those were guards who protected the governor, and now it seemed that they should be guarding Weatherby Swan.
This is nothing. It is interesting that when I came to visit Governor Weatherby Swan, I was not blocked at all.
Did Lord Cutler Beckett expect that he would come?
"No, I probably didn't think of this!"
Ethan quickly made his own judgment. The guy's target was the compass in Jack Sparrow's hands. He did not really want to pursue her collusion with pirates, but just wanted to find a useful bargaining chip.
The little blacksmith Will Turner is a very useful piece. Lord Beckett seems to want to be a chess player. What he did was just to force Will Turner to do things according to his own wishes.
He could not force him too hard. Weatherby Swan has already carried a lot of charges, but if he really killed him, he would probably force the chess piece to the opposite side and become an enemy, which would not be of any benefit to his plan.
Now this situation is just right, the pressure is enough and the other party has reserved hope. Only in this situation can you use it easily.
The soldiers guarding Weatherby Swan would not do anything too outrageous. At most, they would report to Lord Beckett who had visited Weatherby Swan.
"I wonder what kind of reaction this Lord Beckett will make after hearing that I, an unknown person, will appear again?"
Originally, he wanted to take the initiative to find Lord Beckett and discuss Elizabeth's problem with him.
Now it seems that he doesn't have to work hard to find this person, he will probably come to him on his own initiative.
"He won't care about my identity. He probably just wants to show his strength in front of Weatherby Swan, put more pressure on the two people in front of him, and force Will Turner to agree to go out to capture Jack."
Thinking of this, Ethan comforted Weatherby Swan, who was in a panic, and asked Will Turner, who had not spoken much: "What are your plans?"
At this time, Lord Beckett had not made his own request with Will. The young and untrained blacksmith was a little at a loss and had no idea what he should do to save his lover.
He was even a little unhappy with Ethan, because it was Ethan who implicated Elizabeth, which caused Governor Swan, Elizabeth's biggest backstage, to lose his position as Governor. When Lord Beckett arrested Elizabeth, the only person who could fight him fell down. He really couldn't think of how he could solve this crisis.
