There is a secret society on the Caribbean Sea with a very similar organizational structure to the Freemasons. They call themselves Canaanite rites.


    Geographically, Canaan refers to the vast land west of the Jordan River, including the south of the Galilee sea and the north of the dead sea. However, Canaan in the [Canaanite rites] should not really mean Canaan.


    In the Old Testament, Abram lived in Haran.


    God said to him, "leave your country, your family and your father''s house and go to the land I will show you."


    So Abram took Sarai his wife and lot his nephew, with the goods they had accumulated in Haran and the people they had, and brought them to the land of Canaan.


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


    Because of this allusion, Canaan became the Jewish name for the land given by God, and the New Testament was born with the Old Testament, which became the name for the land given by God in the whole region of God''s faith.


    As for [ceremony]


    In Freemasons, the [rite] is the honorific name and reference to the general assembly hall. For example, the Philadelphia rite refers to the General Assembly Hall of St. John in Philadelphia, and the Paris rite refers to the General Assembly Hall of nine sisters in Paris.


    But more often, the meaning of "Rites" is extended to refer to the Freemasons in an area with the general assembly hall. Philadelphia means the American Freemasons and Paris means the French Freemasons.


    Thus, Canaanite rites should be a special name for "Freemasons in the land of God".


    However, this is not the case.


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


    This is simply incredible, because the modern Freemasonry was not officially established in London until 1717. It was not until 1733 that it split from a single British Federation into three regional assemblies that do not belong to each other, England, France and North American British colonies, laying the current pattern of multi society coexistence.


    Canaanite ceremony was 43 years earlier than London ceremony and 59 years earlier than Paris ceremony and Philadelphia ceremony.


    The past history may have been nowhere to prove, but the masons still traced the origin of Canaanite rites through lurking, confirming that the pirate Emperor Henry Morgan founded this secret society.


    The Freemasons believed that Henry Morgan should have been inspired by the ancient practical Mason, that is, the Mason guild, the predecessor of the Freemasons. After returning to the Caribbean, he collected the famous pirates, privateers, smugglers and colonial celebrities at that time to jointly establish a high imitation "pirate guild".


    The evidence they give is that there are a lot of similarities between Canaanite rites and modern Freemasons in terms of logo, ceremony and class rules, but the two sides are quite different in key secret words and handshake rites.


    In addition, the Mason charter used by Canaanite rites is very similar to the traditional Charter of the Mason guild, which is very different from the Freemasons charter compiled by James Andrew in 1723.


    The third and most critical point is that Canaanite rites only require new members to believe in God, grow up and be voluntary. There are not only women in American life, but also notorious outlaws.


    Franklin opened an ancient secret for Lorraine with his frustrated voice, but what''s amazing is that it was the first time to hear the name of Canaanite ceremony, Lorraine''s reaction was not surprised, exclaimed and shrugged, but it was so.


    He thought of the sea brotherhood.


    In the history of the pirate Empire, Henry Morgan returned home, established his pirate empire in the port of Loire, promulgated the Pirate Code and established the pirate brotherhood system.


    According to this statement, the maritime brotherhood should enjoy great power and prestige as the Senate in the Roman Republic. In particular, in the 100 years after Henry Morgan''s death, there was no strong emperor on his head. They should have covered the sky in the pirate empire.


    But this is not the case at all.


    Members of the maritime brotherhood do not go to the sea or gather troops. They guard a desolate black port and hold an old old book.


    Their state is impossible to subdue generations of rebellious pirates. They are more like book keepers than the Senate.


    Coincidentally, the more well-known name of the maritime brotherhood is indeed [codekeeper].


    Lorraine doubted more than once that this was really the cabinet designed by Henry Morgan? Compared with the seven kings competing for hegemony, this weak and incompetent cabinet is too weak in the sky.


    Franklin answered his doubts.


    The maritime brotherhood of Morgan era may not be like this now. The brotherhood of that era either used the code in the Ming Dynasty and the Canaanite ceremony in the dark, and jointly acted as the arbiter and the defender of order in the pirate world.


    They have strength, contacts, prestige and means. They can definitely form a balance with the seven pirate kings.


    The reason for the collapse of this system is also very simple. Canaanite baptism was whitewashed.


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


    Lorraine felt indescribable: "I thought a new enemy came on stage. Who knows... I really have fate with Henry Morgan''s legacy."


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


    "It''s just a bad name." Lorraine stretched his arm and stood up. "It''s late at night, Mr. Franklin, Alexander. The injured need a good rest. I won''t bother you today."


    Speaking of the wound, Hamilton''s face darkened again: "Lorraine, you want me to delay the dinner. How can I cooperate with you?"


    "New York needs stability," Lorraine thought. "The injured also need to be recuperated."


    "I''m going to rent gaverna Island temporarily. The castle conditions there are good and the scenery is picturesque. Do you want to go there for a long holiday?"


    "Governor''s Island?" Hamilton narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. "I went to the island for vacation, and you killed people in New York?"


    Lorraine smiled brightly: "I have said that you want stability in New York, and I am willing to make concessions for it. People related to this war will concentrate on gaverna Island, which will become a battlefield. I will only send a small invitation in New York."


    "Really?"


    "What can I say to make you believe me?" Lorraine was helpless. "By the way, Mr. Franklin, Philadelphia ceremony has traced the origin of Canaanite ceremony for so long. I guess you must know which gentleman is suitable to pass the invitation for me?"


    "Ronnie Eugene, a famous tea merchant in Rhode Island, is the fourth generation pioneer of France."


    Franklin''s face was hidden behind the thick smoke.


    "He is very active. There are precedents trying to seduce masons to rebel against masons in Philadelphia and Paris, and he has succeeded more than once."


    "We have investigated him. He should be the heavy responsibility of Deputy Superintendent in the synagogue. He is not only the third person of this generation of Canaanite ceremony, but also the confidant and spokesman of the Lord."


    "Who is their Lord?"


    Franklin put down his pipe and stood up. "I don''t know, little guy, we''re not God. We only know what we know."
