Release that Witch - Chapter 1145
[Chapter 1121 The Cape City]
“The boat is coming, guys! Get moving!” Simbady yelled, raising his arms.
“Oh oh oh!” The members of the Fishbone Clan rushed to the pier, busy with their own work – some were responsible for fixing the cables, and some were responsible for setting up the springboard. Although it looked like a mess, there was no delay at all, as long as the When boarding the ship, its posture is not much worse than that of an old sailor.
It’s hard to imagine that a year and a half ago, these people didn’t even see the sea a few times, let alone do such a thing.
Soon, the supplies on board were removed.
“Sinbad, they said it’s ready to ship!”
“Red goods or black goods, how many barrels are on each, have you asked clearly?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve written it all on the back of my hand!”
“Okay, let’s get started!”
It is an abbreviation commonly used by everyone. The entire Endless Cape only produces one kind of goods, and that is the Black Water of the Styx River.
However, with the expansion of the mining area, the sand people discovered that it does not have only one color.
In the other two underground river valleys, dark red and dark green Styx water appeared—they can also burn, but their properties and smells are quite different.
Therefore, for convenience, people began to use it instead of black water, and this name soon spread among northerners.
This is the fourth time for Xinbadi to work in Daqing Port.
He remembered that when he first set foot on this barren sandy land, his first thought was that if he could survive, he must stay as far away from this place as possible after these three months.
But beyond his imagination, a city really took root in the southernmost part of the desert—if the revival of the oasis is a miracle, then Daqing Port can be described as a miracle.
The reason why Endless Cape became a place of exile is precisely because it has nothing but danger, even the most experienced hunters cannot survive alone.
And to build a town with hundreds or even thousands of people living here, only the Three Gods can do it for the sand people.
He originally thought that the great chief who had underestimated the power of the desert would completely dispel this absurd idea after failing to try, but he didn’t expect that the people who knew nothing about the desert were actually the sand people themselves who had lived here for hundreds of years.
Endless Cape is not nothing.
It’s just that they never realized it.
The first problem to be overcome is the water source.
The Northland official named Concrete led them to build an endless reservoir—it was a low shed covered with black film. At first, they didn’t see anything strange, but When the evil month was over, the sand people discovered that the sun could really separate the white salt from the sea water.
The water vapor forms dewdrops on the film, and then flows into the pipe groove along the inclined surface, and finally merges into the storage tank.
The more intense the sunlight, the faster the water storage speed. Although one pool does not produce much fresh water, hundreds of pools add up to a considerable amount of water.
Today, such reservoirs are still being expanded. They can not only meet the needs of the sand people, but also provide supplies for the ships of Neverwinter City. It can be regarded as subverting the inherent concepts formed by the Mojin sand people over the past century.
Then there is the issue of housing.
It is impossible for a tent alone to withstand the direct rays of the sun at noon, and the closer it is to summer, the more so. If there is no reliable place to escape the heat, it will not last long with water.
It is said that the stone of Iron Sand City came from before the desertification of the extreme south, which is why there are many oases in Yinchuan, but there is only one city.
However, the approach of the northerners is still to use local materials.
They built furnaces and kilns, using black water as fuel, filling in silt fished from the bottom of the sea, and then mixing fine yellow sand that had been screened, and firing them into bricks.
Due to the inexhaustible supply of raw materials, Daqing Port soon had a batch of brick bungalows, and the outer walls and ceilings were double-layered. Even if it is not as good as the oasis under the shade of trees, it is still stable. Shelter.
And finally the food.
Thuram, the elder of the Aosha clan, commanded everyone to pull up dozens of fishing nets on the beach. When the tide rises, the sea water will swallow all these nets, and when the tide ebbs, the “square grid” formed by the fishing nets “In it, there will be a lot of weird prey, such as sea crabs, sea snakes, sea urchins and so on.
At first, Simbady didn’t dare to eat these weird foods, but under the threat of Thuram’s whip, he could only grit his teeth and choose to obey.
And it turned out that the taste of these things was surprisingly good.
Although the staple food still had to be transported from Neverwinter, their food was much richer than it was a year and a half ago.
After the board and lodging were settled, Simbady’s mentality gradually changed. After the three-month dispatch period ended, he chose a step that surprised him—continuing to work in Daqing Port.
After all, the remuneration here is much richer than that in Clear Water Port.
Of course, in addition to this, he has another reason.
…
After filling the last ship, today’s busyness will be over.
“Sinbad, thank you for your hard work today.”
“Brother, see you tomorrow morning!”
“I want to go to the market later, do you want to come with me?”
Due to his participation in dispatches many times, Simbady became the head of the Fishbone Clan in name, and he was the first thing Thuram would look for whenever he had any missions.
Faced with such a change, he was really flattered – when he was still in Yinchuan Oasis, he was an inconspicuous member of the clan, not to mention responsible for any affairs, and there were not many people who were willing to talk to him.
But now, not only the juniors regard him as the leader of the team, but even some girls extend their invitations to him.
This made him feel a little more proud besides being grateful to the great chief.
But Simbady did not accept those invitations.
Because he already had a figure in his heart.
“Hey, wait for me, Simbady!”
Just as he was about to leave the pier to find Mu Li, a familiar voice came to his ears.
Simbady couldn’t help raising the corner of his mouth, he turned his head with a smile, but his expression suddenly froze on his face.
The person who came was indeed Mu Li, the only girl in the clan who always had big black braids and didn’t show any dislike for him.
After the proud son of heaven, Caroen, left the dispatch team, Mu Li did not choose to quit, which was one of the reasons why he persisted.
Simbady thought that he might have a chance, but now he saw the other party holding a man’s hand and running towards him.
And that man is not Mo Jinshamin!
“Mulli, you…and him…” Simbady stammered.
“Ah!” At this moment, Mu Li noticed that the hands of the two were holding each other, she quickly let go of her palms, and smiled embarrassedly, “I was anxious to bring him to see you, so I grabbed him all the way here .”
“Yes…is that so?”
“Phew, this lady is really strong,” the man gasped, “I can’t stop even if I want to, it’s like being pulled by a bull… Mo Jinsha really lives up to his reputation.” He looked at Xin Buddy took a few glances, “Let me introduce myself first… My name is Rex, and I come from the fjord on the other side of the sea.”
“It’s obvious that you are from the fjords,” Simbady kept Muli behind him vigilantly, “I don’t have any relics that can be recovered, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com, you go!”
If it is said that Daqing Port has been developing steadily all along, expanding its territory and population little by little, then it can be said that the calm has been completely broken in the past three months.
Endless Cape seems to have become a popular route overnight, and a large number of fjord ships have appeared in this nascent harbor city, bringing a series of troubles.
These islanders who claimed to be explorers were either digging pits or buying various strange things from the dispatch team, which caused chaos in Daqing Port for a while.
That’s right, their swarming here has indeed made this place extremely lively, and the gradually formed bazaar is also very popular with the Mojin people – so that everyone can use their salary to buy some things they like, instead of having to wait until they return to Port of Clearwater to spend.
But what is even more impressive is the string of negative news.
For example, an explorer wanted to go deep into the underground river Styx to find out, but his life and death were unknown when he fell into the river valley. In the end, it was the sand people who sent the team to clean up the mess and rescue him.
Another example is that some explorers bought suspicious stones and metal utensils from the sand people, but they used counterfeit coins, so that there was almost a violent conflict between the two sides.
The most exaggerated thing is that they even extended their hands to the source of life in Daqing Port – because of the peculiar membrane used in the reservoir, the roofs of several pools disappeared.
This incident finally alarmed the First Army, and after catching the prisoners, they were directly escorted to Neverwinter City. It was heard that what awaited them would be a lifetime of hard labor in the mines.
It was these endless troubles that made Simbady wary of the fjord people.
“I don’t plan to take back anything, because I prefer to rely on my own ability to obtain it rather than opportunistic and unearned.” Rex rubbed his hands and said, “This is also the best opportunity to justify the name of the Association of Odd Objects.”
