Chapter 124. The city of Grey Mist that began to shuffle
The cry of the seagulls is still a little annoying, and Levi, who is still sleeping, gradually opens his eyes, and the brightness coming from the window already means that the morning seems to have been a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Exhaling slowly, Levi also rubbed his cheeks a little tiredly, and his still dizzy head quickly recovered, lifted the woolen blanket covered on his body, and without taking off his clothes, he stood up directly and walked towards the outside of the tent, lifting the curtain, it seems that it is still a good weather today.
On the clear blue sky, there are many white clouds floating, which looks like the ink paintings of the most brilliant painters, which can make people indulge in it.
It was a good day, and the sea breeze blowing from afar was strong enough to puff up the sails and carry the merchant ships.
Taking out his pocket watch from the pocket of his trench coat, Levi looked at the time that it was close to nine o'clock, turned his head to look at the already busy sailors, and turned to walk towards the docks.
First Officer Green was in command, bags of goods were loaded into his Devoe merchant ship, the more spacious cabin could also carry a certain amount of cargo, if you consider close sailing, even if it is overloaded to carry a large amount of cargo, in short, this is a reliable offshore merchant ship, once widely used in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.
This trip to Grey Mist City does not require too many people, just a simple purchase of supplies, by the way to inspect the market, now this Devo merchant ship and the originally equipped Ottoman sailors, can complete this simple but important task.
"Good morning, Captain Levi, the cargo has been loaded."
Seeing Levi walking behind him, First Officer Green also walked over, nodded in salute and also spoke: "The equipment of the water thieves, the head for receiving the reward, as well as the elven clan's long sword, curved bow, and their clothes, are all packed inside. ”
Slightly stunned, Levi also frowned a little strangely and asked, "Their clothes?" ”
"Their clothes are all made of velvet, and the dark gold stripes on them are also a unique dye."
First Officer Green shrugged his shoulders, looked at the Nadvo warship, and continued to speak with some embarrassment: "Their clothes are a little more gorgeous than ordinary gentleman's clothes, even those low-level nobles will not look faceless when they wear them. ”
"Well, that's good." Levi subconsciously turned his head to look at the tent in the temporary fortress, but he couldn't help but think of more than two dozen stripped elves leaning together, and all of them were handsome and handsome, and that weird feeling made him cough lightly.
Who knows if this group of elves has any special habits, if there is that it would be great, if not, then the visual impact is really big enough.
Shaking his head, Levi also made some of the images that only existed in the minds of those perverted nobles disappear, looking at the appearance of already taking care of the Devo merchant ship and always ready, he also nodded and said to First Officer Green: "It's almost time, when breakfast is over, we'll be right away." ”
"Breakfast was already ready on board."
First Officer Green stretched out his hand, as if feeling the sea breeze in front of him, and at the same time he turned his head and suggested to Levi: "The current wind speed is good, if we continue to blow according to this wind speed, we can save half an hour less time when we reach Gray Mist City." ”
Wind speed is also extremely important for a sail merchant ship, not to mention the model of the Devo merchant ship that completely relies on the sea breeze, Li Wei also understood what the first mate Green meant, nodded and agreed: "Then now, immediately." ”
Directly on board, the sailors who had already been prepared also acted neatly, untied the reins and pulled up the anchor, and as the wide spinnaker rose directly on the mainmast, the entire Devoe merchant ship began to sail in the direction of Grey Mist.
The temporary fortress now has Hall as the commander-in-chief, and Levi is still quite relieved.
There are specialists in the arts, First Officer Green is good at trade, Hall is good at combat, and Wilmot, who was born in the Artillery Academy, is of course good at commanding artillery, and they are all talents in their own right.
In particular, First Officer Green and Captain Hall are both talents with command ability who are given by the system when they are directly recruited, and in the sense of the game, they are the admirals who are usually given away when recruiting ships for the first time.
It's just that according to the current real world, they are also divided into trade generals and combat generals.
If you look at it according to this line of thinking, the reason why the few battleships that were re-recruited later did not directly appear as generals is already clear, just because the number of generals from the system has been used up, and if they want to become independent generals, perhaps they should be like Wilmot, the artillery captain, and be promoted by Levi on his own initiative.
But Levi didn't talk about it with the captains of those light Canadian warships, but their tone revealed that it was mostly a topic that a captain should have, and compared to Hall, a captain who knew too much military knowledge, there was a qualitative gap at all.
Maybe the game system also actively restricts the recruitment of generals, after all, unlike the game where you can become a general as long as you spend money, the real world now, there should also be some hidden attributes, and after achieving it, you can be directly promoted by Levi to a general who is in charge of his own affairs, with more advanced strategic thinking.
As Levi stood on the bow floor, already deep in thought, the Devoe merchant ship had rounded the cliffgy Cape Mountain and sailed quickly along the east coast towards Grey Mist.
It was a good day, the sky was clear enough to allow the sentinels on the mast to see far away, and the howling sea breeze puffed up the spinnaker, and even without the zigzag way of forward, the whole Devoe merchant ship sailed extremely fast.
Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long to get from Cape Town to Grey Mist.
The wind and waves were calm along the way, and the breakwater built deep into the sea in Gray Mist City had also appeared in front of him. And the two lighthouses, which were still ugly-looking, had also appeared far away, guiding the surrounding ships in the direction of the outer harbor.
A small number of fishing boats and small merchant ships had also appeared in the sea outside the gray fog city, and Levi's Devo merchant ship also looked unremarkable, all the way past a few merchant ships full of goods, they also entered the gap of the lighthouse, and slowly docked towards the dock in the outer harbor area.
It seems that the outer harbor area of Gray Mist City has been basically rebuilt, and the original large number of temporary warehouses have also been rebuilt on the ruins, and the new wood and stone materials have also made the outer harbor area look much more organized.
The original burned wooden pier has now been rebuilt, and the fine timber has been coated with a layer of lacquer, and it has been nailed directly to the originally raised seabed, and the planks are laid with hemp rope, and it has also been steadily formed into a pier pier trestle with serrated teeth extending into the sea for smaller merchant ships.
The large barge spaces next to it are for those ocean-going merchant ships to dock, and small merchant ships like Li Wei are not qualified to go there, and it is not very cost-effective to pay the management fee.
The sails fell slowly, and the Devo merchant ship came gently ashore with the current, the heavy anchor was lowered, and a few neat lads jumped off the side of the ship quickly, and came to the stone pillar on the shore, and pulled the thick cable and tied it firmly.
"Look, our friends are here again."
Li Wei also walked down the thick plank that had been put ashore, and the two dock managers also walked over quickly, couldn't help but smile slightly, and casually flicked ten small silver coins over, and said, "One day." ”
"Welcome to Grey Mist City, have fun, sir." The two dock managers didn't say much, counted the ten small silver coins in their hands, and showed an excited smile one after another, and walked briskly towards the corner next to them.
It seemed that they had a great bargain, and the man next to them, who was also busy moving things, seemed to be an old sailor, and said casually: "The current cost of stopping the ship is five small silver coins, fool." ”
"Five small silver coins? It's embarrassing..."
Seeing that the first mate of Green next to him also walked down, Levi also coughed lightly, looking at the strange dock managers, he couldn't help but say hello to the person who was finishing moving the wooden box and sitting and resting, and asked curiously: "Why are there a group of strangers on the dock now?" ”
The guy who opened his mouth to remind wiped the sweat from his face, turned his head to look at the curious Levi, and also shook his head and asked, "You shouldn't have been back for a while, right?" ”
"A week seems to have changed a lot here."
Li Wei also nodded, looking at the surrounding docks in the outer harbor area, which seemed to have regained prosperity, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "At the beginning, that group of water thieves attacked, so they fled to other places with people, but I didn't expect the current changes to be really surprising." ”
"Heh, it would be even more surprising if you knew that the Rotten Algae Gang is now in charge of the tax collection in the Outer Harbor District."
The old sailor also had indignation on his face, spat at the side fiercely, crushed his cowhide boots fiercely, sat on the wooden box and gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Those guys are so angry now, even the city defense team doesn't dare to provoke them!" ”
"Wait, what's going on?" Levi's face was a little stunned, he turned his head to look at the first mate Green next to him, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Isn't the Rotten Algae Gang the captain of the city defense team, a dog raised by Clive's guy?" ”
"Clive, that damn guy? Now he has already been locked up in prison, and he will go to the gallows in half a month! ”
The old sailor snorted coldly, and his tone was also full of resentment: "Someone reported that he had a secret connection with the Ketufu River bandits, and the reason why the Outer Harbor District was breached was also because of this guy." ”
