Edward, what did you feel when we first heard this name? You will think of Edison, the inventor, or the gentleman's robot - Edward, the scissor hand, or the person with this name is likely to be a celebrity in today's society.
But do you think of pirates or assassins?
The answer is (no)
And the Mr. Edward, who I, President Hani, wanted to talk to everyone, is both a pirate and an assassin. Pirates and Assassins, these two completely different professions, seem strange to each other in Edward, but if you take a closer look, you will find that they are so stalemate and inseparable. So why is his ups and downs and magnificent life so fascinating? Things have to start with everything he has, and it starts with a small town in the Caribbean in 1715.
In this dull town, Edward lives a very simple life like every young man we are now, but like every young man we are now, he has lofty ideals and revenge in his heart. At that time, he had a wife who loved him deeply, and looked so charming. Although his family was relatively poor, if he had managed a good life, he would still be very happy. But Edward was not President Hani. Just like our generation, there would always be a few people who were willing to sail the boat to the fiery sea of fire to seek wealth. We are now called entrepreneurship. In Edward's era, he thought of being a pirate more directly.
It is not a fault for having such an idea. You should know that his original profession was the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. It was only because of his excessive squandering that he was in his current situation. But what really attracted him to be a pirate was because of his honor and reputation, both of which were the ones he could not give up.
As I said before, Edward is unwilling to be ordinary. Even if he wants to change his current living environment, he has to do it vigorously. That's why he cruelly left his family, everything he had on the Caribbean island at that time, and turned around to throw himself into the arms of the ocean. In fact, before leaving, Edward was still very painful. He was willing to take risks. Part of the reason was that he felt deeply guilty about his wife Caroline. He could not give the person he loved a good living environment. This is the saddest thing for Edward. Everyone who has played this game knows that such guilt will be for him for his life.
In the 18th century far away and strange to us, smuggling and looting was the legal business at that time, so the pirates were still united at that time. Edward lived with such a group of marginalized people at that time, but he enjoyed it. He knew that such a thrilling life was exactly what he wanted. Everyone is born and die together and plunders wealth in order to make their second half of their lives rich and comfortable. But if only this is the case, our Mr. Edward is just an ordinary pirate, which can add another mysterious color to his life.Just what happened on another small island.
In 1713, the Udrecht Treaty ended the war between the empires, and the world began to gradually no longer need robbers? And this is no longer a legalized business. Such a change was nothing more than a heavy blow to Edward, which made his life become bitter. In addition, his income became increasingly disproportionate. He only felt that his life had fallen into an endless abyss. He always remembered that he told his wife that although privateing was dangerous, it was worth taking this risk. Service in the King's Navy could not improve their existing living environment, but privateing was absolutely possible. He also swears for this. Isn’t the purpose of being able to live a good life with your family? But reality ruthlessly engraved a knife in his heart.
"This is not a question of whether or not you need money. I want to eat clean food, I want a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and I want to live a decent life."
In June 1715, this day almost caused Edward and his death, but it made his future life. He was working with Captain Brama at that time. At this time, they were trapped in the encirclement of the Royal Navy. At that time, he could see a mysterious man with a hood on the British ship opposite. The mysterious man not only killed his captain, but also blew him to a deserted island. He almost died on the assassin on the island, but fortunately he completed the counterattack. And at this moment, he put on the assassin's clothes and possessed equipment that should not belong to him. Using the identity of the dead assassin, he learned about the Templars for the first time, and knew about the assassin for the first time, and clearly knew that there was an observation deck in the world, but in his eyes now, all this was just a code name. At this time, he needed wealth, a wealth that could allow him to live a lifelong life with his lover.
