When Gu Moli walked out of the dressing room.
A completely different person.
His already messy hair was tidied up a bit, two small mustaches were pasted on his lips, and a black tricorn hat was added. His clothes were also tattered, and simple tattoos were made on his chest and back with tattoo stickers. The corners of his eyes were also deliberately blackened.
A real pirate.
Even Jenny showed some strangeness in her eyes after seeing Gu Moli coming out, and praised him a few times: "You are really suitable for this role."
And the other side.
The image of the flirting young man Swade is completely different.
The blue and white tricorn hat symbolizing the navy, a handsome hairstyle, a commander's sword tied at the waist, and a pistol, and the clothes on his body are standard navy admiral uniforms. When worn on the tall and handsome Swade, his aristocratic temperament is brought out to the fullest.
Finished.
With this comparison, the gap between the poor loser and the tall, rich and handsome man is getting bigger and bigger.
"good!"
After seeing Swade's handsome appearance, Jenny didn't hide her smile and satisfaction at all: "Mr. Swade, this suit is very suitable for you."
"It really makes my heart beat faster to be praised by the beautiful Miss Jenny."
Swade once again performed a noble salute, which, combined with the admiral's attire, made him look extremely handsome.
"... Ahem, then, let's go prepare for rehearsal."
“The rehearsal place is nearby.”
"Come with me."
Jenny blushed slightly, then turned around in a panic and walked towards the large villa on the other side of the villa with Swade and Gu Moli.
As she walked, she continued, "The script I wrote is actually very simple. Mr. Swade, you play the role of my father, Admiral Isaac, in the classic battle that made him famous, the Battle of the Reefs. I hope to use it to make everyone feel the power and might of the navy."
"The Battle of the Reefs."
Swade said longingly: "Admiral Isaac is indeed the pride of the navy, but since it is a naval battle, what about the navy's manpower and pirates?"
"rest assured."
"I'm ready for this."
Jenny smiled and said, "For the navy, I decided to let the servants at home take charge. In fact, if possible, I would prefer to use the guards of the manor, but my father and the butler do not allow it. As for the pirates, this time I plan to recreate the scenes of the past battles as much as possible."
"So Jack."
Jenny looked at Gu Moli and said, "I hope you can play the role of a pirate well, and I have arranged your men for you. They are all people who can meet my requirements just like you."
"Come in."
As soon as he pushed open the door of the villa and walked in, Gu Moli couldn't help but hold his breath.
Gathered in the house.
In addition to a group of soldiers in military uniforms acting as navy officers, there was also a group of people wearing chains, kneeling on the ground, and with brands on their bodies.
... .or not human.
A slave.
“Pah!”
Without paying any attention to the miserable and somewhat resentful expressions of the slaves, Jenny strode forward and patted them gently with her fair hands: "Slaves, in order for you to perform my play with all your heart and soul, I have decided to tell you some good news."
"Slaves who behave well in the upcoming rehearsals and official performances."
"I will set them free."
"But if he refuses to cooperate, or has any unrealistic delusions, I guarantee that he will be hanged outside the naval port."
"Do you understand?"
As soon as Jenny finished speaking, the slaves, who were originally listless, suddenly raised their heads and looked at Jenny, who looked like a fairy, in disbelief, with hope shining in their eyes.
"very good."
After seeing the slaves' expressions, Jenny nodded with satisfaction.
"Then let's start rehearsing."
"Jack? Mr. Sward? Go ahead."
... ... ... ... ...
There is not much to say about the rehearsal process.
Driven by freedom, every slave cooperated very well, but the whole scene seemed extremely boring to Gu Moli. To sum it up, it was basically: the navy set out, encountered pirates, beat up the pirates, and the naval battle ended. There was no plot at all.
The most important thing.
The beatings in the play were real. Every slave was severely beaten by servants disguised as navy officers. Some slaves were even hit on the head and fell unconscious. But the shocking thing is that the unconscious slaves were not taken away for treatment.
Instead, he was directly dragged away.
Only a trail of blood was left.
Gu Moli knew with his eyes closed that he would not be able to see the poor slave in tomorrow's performance.
I see.
It fits in with the background of the times very well. Slaves were basically not considered human beings, especially private slaves, who were basically things that could be squandered at will. Gu Moli could see from the expressions of the people present that Jenny, as a rich lady, was shocked to see such a bloody scene.
Even his expression didn't change.
The expression he looked at the slave was more cold, as if he was looking at an object.
to be honest.
This attitude made Gu Moli deeply suspicious of what Jenny had said before about free speech.
At the end of the rehearsal, Swade pointed his gun at Gu Mo who was lying on the ground. The handsome guy who flirted with girls said Admiral Isaac's classic line: "From today, the waters of the Bahamas will usher in a great change, and your death will tell everyone."
"The age of pirates is over!"
"Bang!"
Swade raised his gun and imitated the sound of shooting, bringing the drama to an end.
"good!"
"very good!"
"Mr. Swade, your performance was truly amazing!"
Jenny in the audience was so excited that her face turned red, and she looked at Swade with a strange expression.
"In this way."
"Tomorrow's performance will be very exciting."
"Thanks."
Swade smiled and nodded to Jenny, then looked at Gu Moli, smiled heartily, stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Are you okay, Jack? I'm sorry, we were in a play just now, so I punched you a few times. I hope you don't mind, but you played the pirate really well."
"Mr. Swade, you are too kind."
Gu Moli shook his head.
He looked at Swade with a puzzled look and said, "But Mr. Swade, why didn't you pull the trigger just now? If I remember correctly, you should pull the trigger in the last scene, right? Although I know this is a rehearsal, it's better to be more rigorous in acting."
"Hahaha."
"Sorry, sorry, it's mainly because I just want to have some fun."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pull the trigger according to the script when the official performance begins."
"That's good."
Gu Moli nodded.
Holding Gu Moli's shoulders in a familiar manner, Swade nodded towards Jenny's reassurance: "We are so lucky to be valued by Miss Jenny. You know, she is the daughter of General Isaac. I really don't know who can marry this famous pearl on the sea."
Gu Moli glanced at Swade and said, "I think you have a good chance."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Swade laughed and said "Not at all" modestly, but the smiling expression on his face revealed his thoughts completely.
"Okay Jack."
"I think you're a pretty good person."
"Come, come, come."
"How about we rehearse again for tomorrow's performance?"
"... .good."
Gu Moli nodded.
