Release that Witch Chapter 1121: Cape City
"The ship is here, guys! They are all moving!" Simbad shouted.
"Oh, oh!" The Fish Bone Clan's clan rushed to dock. Some of them were responsible for fixing the cables and some were responsible for setting up the springboard. Although they seemed to be in a mess, there was no delay. The ship's posture is not much worse than the old sailor. It's hard to imagine that these people haven't even seen the sea a few times a year and a half ago, let alone such a thing.
Soon, the supplies on the ship were moved away.
"Simbad, they said it's available!"
"Red or black goods, how many barrels are on each, have you asked clearly?"
"Rest assured, I keep it on my back!"
"OK, let's get started!"
"Goods" is a common abbreviation commonly used by everyone. The entire Endless Cape produces only one kind of goods, which is Minghe Black water. However, with the expansion of mining scope, Sandpeople found that it is not only one color. In the other two underground river valleys, crimson and dark green murky river waters appeared. They can also burn, which is a big difference in nature and odor. So for the sake of convenience, everyone began to use "goods" instead of Black water, and this name soon spread among north people.
Simbad is the fourth time to work in Daqing Port.
He remembers that when he first set foot on this deserted sandy land, his first thought was that if he could survive, he must stay as far away as possible after three months. But beyond his imagination, a city really took root at the southernmost end of the desert. If the oasis was restored into a miracle, then Daqing Port could be described by miracles.
Endless Cape has become a place of exile because it has nothing but danger, even the most sophisticated hunter cannot survive alone. And wanting to build a town with hundreds or even thousands of people living here is only Three Gods for Sandpeople.
He thought that Great Chief, who underestimated the power of the desert, would completely eliminate this ridiculous idea after an unsuccessful attempt, but he did not expect to know anything about the desert, but Sandpeople himself who has lived here for hundreds of years.
Endless Cape is not nothing.
It's just that they never realized it.
The first problem that was overcome was water.
The Northland official named Concord led them to build a cistern that couldn't be seen at the end. It was a shed covered with black film. But when Months of Demons ended, Sandpeople found that the sun could really separate the salt of Baihuahua from the sea water. Water vapor forms dew on the film, and then merges into the pipe trough along the inclined surface, and finally merges into the storage tank. The more intense the sun, the faster the water can be stored. Although there is not much fresh water produced by a pond, the sum of hundreds of ponds can add up to a considerable amount of water.
Today, such reservoirs are still being expanded. They can not only meet the needs of Sandpeople, but also supply ships for Neverwinter City, which is a subversion of the inherent concept of Mojin Sandpeople over a century.
Second is housing.
The tent alone cannot resist the direct sunlight of the noon sun. The closer it is to summer, the more it will be. If there is no reliable summer shelter, water will not last long.
It is said that the stone of Iron Sand City came from before Extreme Southern Region desertification, which is why there are many oasis on Silver River, but there is only one city.
The Northlander ’s approach is still to source materials locally.
They built furnace one by one, using Black water as fuel, filling in the sludge from the bottom of the sea, mixing it with the fine yellow sand that has been screened, and burning it into bricks. Due to the inexhaustible supply of raw materials, Daqing Port soon had a batch of brick cottages, and the outer walls and ceilings were double-layered. Even if it was not as good as the oasis under the shade of trees, it was stable. A place to live.
Last comes food.
Brave Sand Clan's elder Thuram instructs everyone to pull up dozens of fishing nets on the beach. When the tide rises, the seawater will all absorb these nets, and when the tide ebbs, the "squares" formed by the fishing nets. There will be a lot of strange prey, such as sea crab, sea snake, sea urchin and so on. At first Simbad did not dare to eat these weird foods, but under the threat of Thuram whip, he could only bite his teeth and choose to follow.
It turned out that these things tasted pretty good.
Although staple food is still to be shipped from Neverwinter City, their meals are much richer than a year and a half ago.
After the food and accommodation were resolved, the mentality of Simbad gradually changed. After the three-month dispatch period ended, he chose a step that he was surprised to continue to work in Daqing Port.
After all, the pay here is much better than Port of Clear Water.
Of course, he has another reason.
...
After the last ship is full, today's busyness will come to an end.
"Simbad, you worked hard today."
"eldest brother, see you tomorrow morning!"
"I'll want to go to the market later, will you be with me?"
Simbad has become the person in charge of Fish Bone Clan due to his many participations in dispatch. Whenever there is any task, Thuram is the first one to find him. In the face of such changes, he was really flattered. When he was still in the Silver River oasis, he was an insignificant member of the clan, let alone what matters he was responsible for, and he didn't even want to talk to him. But now, not only his juniors regarded him as the team leader, but even some girls extended an invitation to him. This makes him a little more proud of Great Chief.
Simbad did not accept those invitations.
Because he already has a figure in his heart.
"Hey, wait for me, Simbad!"
As he was leaving dock to find Mu Li, a familiar voice passed into his ear.
Simbad couldn't help raising his lips, he turned back with a smile, but his expression suddenly froze on his face.
The person here is indeed Mu Li, the one who always has a **** braid and is the only girl in the clan who has not shown dislike to him.
After Carlow left the dispatch team, Mu Li did not choose to withdraw, which is one of the reasons why he persisted. Simbad thought he might have a chance, but now he sees the other man running towards him with a man's hand.
And the man is not yet Mojin Sandpeople!
"Mu Li, you ... and him ..." Simbad stuttered.
"Ah! Mu Li only noticed that the two were holding their hands together, and quickly released their palms, embarrassed and smiled, "I was anxious to bring him to see you, and just grabbed him all the way." "
"Yes ... is that so?"
"Whew, this lady is very physically fit," the man gasped, "I can't stop without stopping, it's like being pulled by a wild cow ... Mojin Sandpeople really deserves its reputation." He looked around. Simbad glanced, "Introduce yourself first ... My name is Rex, from the fjord across the sea."
"I know you are a fjord at a glance," Simbad guarded Mu Li behind him, "I don't have any relics to recover, you go!"
If Daqing Port has been developing steadily and expanding its site and population a little bit, it can be said that the peace has been completely broken in the past three months. Endless Cape seemed to become a popular route overnight, with a large number of fjord vessels appearing in this nascent seaport city, and brought a series of troubles.
The islanders, who claim to be explorers, either dig around or buy various weird things from the dispatch team, and they mess up Daqing Port for a while. That's right, their swarms really make this place very lively, and the gradually formed market is also very popular with Mojin people so that everyone can use the salary to buy something they like, instead of having to wait until they return to Port of Clear Water to spend it. But what makes impression more profound is a series of negative news.
For example, an explorer wants to go deep into the underground Scenic River to find out, but the life and death of the fall in the valley is unknown. In the end, it is the Sandpeople that dispatched the team to clear up the mess and rescue people.
Another example is that some explorers have acquired suspicious stones and metal utensils from Sandpeople, but they used counterfeit coins, so that almost violent clashes occurred on both sides.
The most exaggerated thing is that they even reached out to the source of life in Daqing Port. Due to the peculiar film used in the reservoir, the roofs of several pools were missing. This incident finally shocked First Army. After arresting the prisoner, he was escorted to Neverwinter City. I heard that they will wait for a lifetime of mine labor.
It is these endless troubles that make Simbad be wary of fjord people.
"I don't intend to collect anything, because I prefer to obtain it by my own abilities rather than speculation and gaining nothing." Rex rubbed his hands and said, "This is also the best opportunity to correct the name of Wonder Objects Society."
