In the Caribbean, there is a secret society that is very similar to the organization of Freemasonry. They call themselves Canaanite.

　　 The Canaanian said geographically refers to the area west of the Jordan River, including the vast land south of the Sea of ​​Galilee and the North of the Dead Sea. However, Canaan in [Canaan Rite] should not actually refer to it.

　　 In the Old Testament, Abram lives in Haran.

　　 God said to him: "You have to leave your locality, your family, your father's house, and go to where I want to show you."

　　 So Abram took his wife Sarai and nephew Lot, and even the wealth they had accumulated in Haran, and the people they had gained, to the land of Canaan.

　　Canaan is the land of God's promise to Abram. Abram is the ancestor of the Jews, Abraham, so the promise to him is the promise to the Jews.

　　Because of this allusion, Canaan became the synonym for the heaven-given land by the Jews, and with the birth of the "New Testament" in the Old Testament, it became the synonym for the heaven-given land in the entire region of God's faith.

　　 As for 【li】……

　　 In Freemasonry, 【ritual】is a respectful name and a reference to the General Assembly Hall. For example, the Philadelphia Ceremony refers to the St. John's General Assembly Hall in Philadelphia, and the Paris Ceremony is the Nine Sisters General Assembly Hall in Paris.

　　 But more often, the meaning of "ritual" is extended, and the general meeting hall is used to refer to a region's Freemasonry. The Philadelphia Ceremony refers to the American Freemasonry, and the Paris Ceremony refers to the French Freemasonry.

　　 From this point of view, the Canaanite ceremony should be a special reference to "Freemason in the God-given Land".

　　 However, this is not the case.

　　According to the information provided by Franklin, the establishment of Canaanite can be traced back to 1674.

This is unbelievable, because the modern Freemasonry was not formally established in London until 1717, and it was not until 1733 that it split from a single British Association into three separate regional associations of England, France, and the British colonies in North America. The current pattern of coexistence.

　　 The Canaan ceremony was 43 years earlier than the London ceremony, and 59 years earlier than the Paris ceremony and the Philadelphia ceremony.

　　 The past history may be nowhere to be confirmed, but the Freemasonry still traced the origin of the Canaanite through lurking, confirming that it was the pirate emperor Henry Morgan who founded this secret society.

Freemasonry believes that Henry Morgan should be inspired by the ancient practice masons, the predecessor of Freemasonry Masons Guild. After returning to the Caribbean, he studied the famous pirates, privateers, smugglers and colonial celebrities at the time. Co-founded a high-imitation version of the "Pirate Guild".

　　 The evidence they gave is that Canaanite and modern Freemasonry have a lot of similarities in monograms, rituals, classes, and conventions, but they are completely different in key secrets and handshake ceremonies.

In addition, the "Beauty Charter" used by the Canaanite ceremony is very similar to the "Traditional Charter" of the Masons Guild, and is very different from the "Freemasonry Charter" compiled by James Andrew in 1723, which is commonly used by modern Freemasonry. .

　　 The third and most critical point is that Canaanite only requires belief in God, adulthood, and voluntariness for new members. There are not only women in the beautiful life, but also wicked outlaws.

Franklin used his frustrated voice to uncover an ancient secret for Lorraine. What is amazing is that it was the first time that he heard the name of Canaanite, but Lorraine's reaction was not surprised?, amazed, stunned. , But as it turns out.

　　 He thought of the Sea Brotherhood.

　　In the history of the pirate empire, Henry Morgan returned home with good clothes, established his pirate empire in Port Loire, the buyer of the country, promulgated the "Piracy Code" and established the pirate brotherhood system.

　　According to this statement, the Sea Brotherhood should enjoy the same great rights and prestige as the Senate in the Roman Republic, especially in the hundred years after Henry Morgan's death, there is no strong emperor on top of his head, they should have been in the hands of the pirate empire.

　　 But the fact is not at all.

　　 The members of the Sea Brotherhood do not go to the sea, do not gather soldiers, guard a desolate black port, and hold a dilapidated old book.

　　 Their state is impossible to subdue generations of rebellious pirates. They are not so much like the Senate, as they are more similar to bookkeepers.

　　 Coincidentally, the better-known name of the Brotherhood of the Sea is indeed [Guardian of the Code].

　　 Lorraine more than once suspected that this is really a cabinet designed by Henry Morgan? Compared to the seven kings contending for hegemony, this weak and incompetent cabinet is inherently too weak.

　　 Franklin answered his doubts.

　　 The Sea Brotherhood of the Morgan era may not be what it is now. The Brotherhood of that era may be in the light of the law and the Canaanite in the dark, acting together as the arbiter of the pirate world and the defender of order.

　　 They have strength, connections, prestige, and means, and they can definitely form a balance of power with the seven pirate kings.

　　 The reason for the collapse of this system is also very simple, Canaan is baptized.

　　The whitewashed members took the initiative to cut off the connection with the pirate world, and began to pursue more civilized and noble things, such as...practice their political demands.

　　 Lorraine felt indescribable: "I thought that a new enemy would appear on the scene, who knows... I really have a fate with Henry Morgan's legacy."

　　 "Henry Morgan's legacy?" Franklin suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, you are still the pirate king of the pirate empire."

　　 "It's a stigma that doesn't match the real name." Lorraine stretched his arms and stood up. "It's late at night, Mr. Franklin, Alexander, the injured people need adequate rest. I won't bother you much today."

　　 Speaking of the wound, Hamilton's face went dark again: "Lorraine, you want me to postpone the dinner, how can I cooperate with you?"

　　"New York needs stability~lightnovelpub.net~Lorraine thought for a while, "The injured also need to be recuperated. "

　　 "I am going to rent Governors Island temporarily. The castle there is in good condition and picturesque. Would you like to go there for a long vacation?"

　　 "Governor Island?" Hamilton squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time. "I'm going to the island on vacation. Are you killing someone in New York?"

Lorraine smiled heartily: "I have said that you all hope that New York will be stable, and I am willing to make concessions for it. People involved in this war will gather on Governors Island, where it will become a battlefield, and I will only post in New York. A small invitation card."

"real?"

"How can I make the two believe me?" Lorraine was helpless. "By the way, Mr. Franklin, the Phillies have traced the origin of Canaanite for so long. I guess you must know which gentleman is suitable for me to pass on. Invitation card?"

　　 "Ronier Eugene, a famous tea merchant in Rhode Island, the fourth generation of French pioneers."

　　 Franklin's face was hidden behind the thick smoke.

　　 "He is very active. He has tried to seduce the Freemason Meisheng Rebellion in both the Philadelphia and Paris Ceremonies, and he has also succeeded more than once."

　　 "We have investigated him. He should be the deputy supervisor in the synagogue. He is the third person in this generation of Canaanite, and he is also a cronies and endorsement of the Lord."

　　 "Who is their Lord?"

　　 Franklin put down his pipe and stood up: "I don't know, little guy, we are not gods, we only know the things we know."
