Chapter 268 Mayflower

"William!" The blond girl with pale skin ran towards him.

The guards escorting the prisoners raised their guns and pointed them at the girl with panic written on her face.

"Damn it! Put down the gun! Put it down! Don't hurt her! You bastards!" William was frightened to death and struggled hard, "For God's sake! Put down the gun!"

Someone in the crowd recognized the girl. She was the daughter of a big shot they could not afford to offend. The alert was instantly lifted, and several timid rookies almost fell to the ground.

The shackled William was helpless to catch the panting girl.

"Woooooooo, William, run." The girl's slender arms were wrapped around her neck and shoulders, and her crying voice whispered in her ears, "They are going to send you to the Mayflower, run!"

William only felt cold all over.

Has it been revealed that he is a wizard?

The Mayflower is a ship bound for North America. The people who will be sent on board the ship will be emigrated abroad at best, or exiled at worst.

Importantly, this was a ship intended by the Puritans.

The church is ready to "lend a helping hand" to desolate and disorderly North America.

But, what can he do to break through the siege and escape Southampton?

"Hijack me..." The girl's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

William was startled and looked down. The girl's little face was filled with perseverance, "As long as they kidnap me, they won't dare to hurt you. Then, you can escape and go to the Netherlands!"

"Hey, man, what's your name?" It was a young man about 30 years old, with a warm smile.

William was in a very low mood. He hung his head, and it took him a while to say his name: "William."

The other party's eyes widened, as if he heard something unbelievable, "Oh, my God, man, is your name also William? Where are you from? You also boarded the ship from Southampton? Oh, God, what am I talking about? Woolen cloth!"

"Is there anyone on this ship who didn't come from that place?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, man, I just want to say, this is such a coincidence, my name is William, William Bradford. Virtue."

William became more interested, "Oh, yes, my name is William White. What can I do for you?"

The other party touched his nose in embarrassment, "That's right, you see, we all come from the corrupt country and are about to start a new life."

"Oh, I don't believe in religion." William lost interest instantly.

The other person seemed a little surprised, "God, you, you don't believe in religion?"

William raised the cross hanging around his neck, indicating that he just didn't want to listen to his nonsense.

Alaina gave him the cross, saying it would save him from trouble.

But he felt that they were already in trouble. The 66-day journey included lack of water, food, wind and waves, and they also missed the port. Now, where are they?

By the way, Cape Cod is probably full of marine fish.

He smiled, and luckily he knocked Alena unconscious and sent her home, otherwise, she would definitely have suffered along with him.

"Great! We happen to be missing one person!" The other party cheered, and then asked with some confusion, "But... why are you not on our list?"

William raised his eyelids and realized that the other person was also wearing a cross, a very simple one. He probably carved it out of wood himself and painted it on the outside.

Really bad craftsmanship.

William commented in his heart, but he was a little curious about what the other person was talking about, so he asked, "What are you talking about, you are missing someone? Are you planning to find someone to help row the boat to the shore?"

"No, no, no." He showed his big shiny yellow teeth and gave a thumbs up, "It's an agreement!"

[In the name of God, Amen.

We the undersigned, defenders of the faith, loyal subjects of the great James I.

For the glory of God, for the promotion of the Christian faith, and for the honor of our country and monarch, we set sail across the sea to open up the original colony on the northern coast of Virginia. Therefore, we jointly solemnly swore a contract before God and voluntarily formed a self-governing group of people.

In order that the above purposes may be carried out smoothly, maintained and developed, and that in the future such just and equitable laws, regulations, ordinances, charters and public offices may be enacted and implemented at any time and in the general interests of this colony, we all undertake to abide by and obey them. this agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed at Cape Cod this eleventh day of November in the year A.D. 1620, in the year of my Majesty James I, the Eighteenth of England, France, Ireland, and the Fifty-fourth of Scotland. 】

William looked at the parchment in front of him in a daze, and the content on it made him a little confused.

Hey, why are there so many strange adjectives? Is it really okay to praise so openly? Could it be

"In short, we will stay here for a long time, so." The young man shrugged, "We should unite, right?"

His eyes were astonishingly bright, "Come on! Let us build a free and democratic country here!"

What a passionate young man.

William thought so.

Following the other party into the dark room, he met 40 other companions. William, the wizard, actually signed a contract under the witness of God.

"It's really ironic." William thought, "I am a wizard who has been hunted by you believers for centuries? Is it really okay to bring me under this kind of contract?"

Plymouth Harbor, Massachusetts.

America is a new continent waiting to be developed.

But this does not mean that there are no humans here.

Looking at the energetic people, William was suddenly full of hope for this new territory.

This place should really become a home for Muggles and wizards, right?

If he could divine or see the future, William would be ashamed of his thoughts at this moment.

One day less than a hundred years later, lasting more than 300 years, more than 200 people were arrested or imprisoned, resulting in the death of 20 innocent victims. The infamous Salem Witch Trials happened on the land beneath his feet. , right here in Massachusetts, in the hands of these persecuted companions who had traveled far away from home, unfolding in a completely incomprehensible way.

William was full of energy at this time. This place was far away from the Corrupt Country. No one knew his identity as a wizard, and no one would notice it at this time.

The new territory represents a new beginning. Everyone is a starting point. What they can get and who they can become are all in their own hands.

What a fascinating new world, William said with emotion. Perhaps being sent to the "Mayflower" by those people was not a tragedy, but the beginning of his glorious life?

Alaina, wait for me, I will definitely go back to pick you up.
