Chapter 006. Leave no trace of covering

The sun had completely dispelled the thin morning mist, the distant sea breeze had puffed up the manicured spinnaker, and the helmsman on the aft tower had a firm grip on the Devoe merchant ships, and they were still moving quickly along the shoreline. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info for them is just a little bit of a small wave on the journey, a boring little trick of sailing, but in the end they get some extra trophies of little value, and I don't know whether they are happy or depressed.

The spinnaker on the mainmast is able to take full advantage of any wind, while the spinnaker on the submast adjusts the wind, thanks to the wisdom of the pioneering maritime merchants of the Arabian Peninsula. The unique and absolutely scientific design of this spinnaker, although it cannot go straight forward along the sea breeze like a quadrangular sail, but this ingenious design can still rely on the zigzag course to move towards the set goal even if it is a headwind, coupled with the scientific streamlined ship structure, it can be said that it embodies the essence of hundreds of years of shipbuilding in the Arabs, and is quite an excellent merchant ship design in the offshore waters.

Time seemed to pass as the merchant ship ran over the waves, and Levi and the others were safe on the rest of the road, except for a few merchant ships of large and small that occasionally passed by, and they did not encounter anything else unusual. When everyone was estimating in their hearts that the time was about the same, at the end of the horizon, a dark object suddenly appeared, which seemed to be the top of the mountain range, and as the Devo merchant ship continued to move forward, it had already encountered more merchant ships.

This shows that the Gray Mist City on the Great Silver Plate Island is about to arrive, and everyone has a relaxed smile on their faces. Hours of sailing are not only tedious, but also dangerous, and these travelers, accustomed to being protected on the island, do not like the thrilling adventures that come their way from time to time like Levi's sailors. After all, the seemingly ubiquitous ferocious alien race, and the equally brutal pirates, are something to be feared.

"Captain Levi, I seem to have spotted some cuties."

However, when the first mate of Green inspected the trophies, he found a little surprise, it was a small bag made of velvet, and there was a mysterious pattern on it with fine twine with color, which seemed to be used by the nobles. When he shook it with his hand a few times, the crisp sound of metals colliding with each other echoed in his ears, and he couldn't help but bring a smile on his face, and reached out to throw this thing towards Levi next to him, and said, "Do you want to be a surprise?" ”

"My first mate, I'm not a young man who likes surprises." Levi reached out and grabbed the small velvet purse, and the delicate and gentle feel made his hands, accustomed to rough linen, feel like holding a girl's pigeon. Also shaking in his ears, his face was also a little smiling, reaching out to pull the thin rope that tied the money bag, just about to smile and say something, but the golden yellow found in the corner of his eye made his face change slightly.

However, his face was well hidden, and the passengers around him had all gathered at the bow of the ship because they were about to arrive in Grey Mist City, and no one noticed the strange expression on his face. Li Wei stuffed the velvet money bag into his pocket, with a smile on his face as before, waved his hand and said loudly to the sailors around him: "Go back to the Sea Spear Tavern for three days, and record it in my account, I have a treat!" ”

"Long live, my generous captain!"

Levi's words immediately drew excited shouts from the sailors, and even the passengers at the bow of the ship showed envious expressions, after all, it was rare for a captain to be quite generous to his subordinates. The sailors also seemed to smell the sweetness of the ale and mead, and they all laughed and joked: "The owner of the Sea Lance Tavern, but the captain is his own son, we will definitely send a few extra glasses of ale when we go!" ”

Their jokes immediately deflected the atmosphere of the entire Devo merchant ship, and the passengers laughed and talked about their lives after returning. This world is full of dangers and opportunities, but family is always a warm harbor, and as the outer harbor of Grey Mist City gets closer and closer, it seems that it will not take half an hour to reach the distance to the destination, and they are all showing a relaxed and happy smile, and there is no anxiety before.

However, Levi still gestured to the first mate Green, who was not far away, and beckoned the two sailors to quickly put away the loot that had been piled up on the deck. And his eyes swept over the herring barrels arranged on the inside of the ship, and he also arranged for the sailors to check them to avoid any losses here, and carefully instructed the first mate Green who came over: "It is best to get rid of them as soon as possible, these sea fish will not be very fresh after noon." ”

"These herrings will be sold quickly, and according to our speed, arriving in Grey Mist City is exactly the time when those fishmongers collect fish and then enter other cities to collect and sell."

First Officer Green nodded, took out his notebook in his pocket, and after flipping through a few pages, he had already made a plan in his mind. Generally, he is responsible for the purchase and sale of this kind of goods, after all, he is a professional captain and financial officer, he has been in the Mediterranean for more than 20 years before being summoned to this world by Levi, compared to Levi, a halfway monk, is still quite professional, and is also extremely conscientious.

But for Levi, First Officer Green and the sailors on board were also trusted comrades and partners. It can even be said that even if his closest friends in the world betrayed him, the sailors on this ship would accompany him to fight to the death. This is not only the trust cultivated in daily life, but also the loyalty fixed in the depths of the soul, and it is absolutely and constantly subordinate to Levi's setting.

"Guys, Grey Mist is beckoning to us!"

The sea breeze from the sky, with its sails, had already carried the entire Devo merchant ship to its destination, and the waves crashed and shattered on the reef and the shore, and with a pleasant sound, it seemed to welcome back with joy. Levi didn't need a telescope to see the majesty of the mountains in the distance, the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile, his eyes had already seen the outline of the Gray Mist City, and said with a smile: "It looks like there are still a few minutes to pass through the two ugly lighthouses in the outer harbor!" ”

Levi's words drew laughter from the travelers and sailors around him, but they all came to the bow of the ship, looking at the towering mountains in the distance and the walls of the Grey Mist City like long snakes, all with smiles on their faces. As the merchant ships pressed down the rolling waves, they gradually entered the outer harbor of the Gray Mist City, and the two lighthouses on the left and right on the wall of the outer harbor had also appeared in their field of vision, and they could clearly see the mottled appearance, the cracks smashed by the giant and the burning ashes.

The North Trumming Sea is not a good place, but the reputation of the Great Silver Plate Island for its rich silver mines and various silver products spreads far and wide, and as an important trading port city, the richness of the Grey Mist City is also very famous in the surrounding area. Whether it's the plundering of the pirate coalition or the attack of the enemy during the war years, the oily Grey Mist City is always on the front line of the first enemy. And the mottled traces of war on the wall of the outer harbor can also show the fierceness of the battle.

Even the two lighthouses are built in a style that is made of stone quarried from the island of Daiginpan and polished into strips. It was destroyed and rebuilt many times during the war, and it is now a building with a blue stone base, fired masonry in the middle, and a wooden structure on the top floor. This may seem extremely incongruous, but because it is not cumbersome to repair the North Trumming Sea, which is bound to have a big upheaval and chaos every four or five years, this kind of cheap lighthouse is still quite suitable, although it looks ugly, but it is also an important reason why the Gray Mist City Hall has not continued to be renovated.

The mainsail has been lowered, the Devo merchant ship took advantage of the waves and its own inertia to bypass a few small fishing boats, and sailed into the port of Gray Mist City with another similar merchant ship, a slight noise has been heard, although it is only about six o'clock in the sky, but as a trade distribution center, there are already a large number of merchant ships or fishing ships loading and unloading goods. Some expensive supplies had to be delivered to the kitchens and warehouses of the nobles in the inner city of Grey Mist before breakfast, and the bazaars in the outer city of Grey Mist were filled with daily necessities for civilians, so although it was still early, the docks in the outer harbor were already busy.
