Chapter 079. The town of Cape at the foot of Cape Mountain

"Whoa—"

The busy figures were running up and down the deck, the cables that bound the stone pillars by the dock were also untied by the sailors, the high shouts gradually spread to the surroundings, and the heavy anchor at the bow of the ship had been drawn, so that the Devo merchant ship under it slowly raised its full sails, sucked up the spinnakers that became full of wind, and also drove the entire hull to press the waterline that was almost full of water, and began to sail towards the outside of the port.

The heavy Galie warships had already taken the lead in rowing slowly on the sea outside the harbor, and forty long oars rowed up and down, and the Galie warships, which were mainly powered by manpower, sailed in a short time much faster than the Devoe merchant ships, which relied entirely on the power of the wind. The huge heavy Gallerian warship was already filled with sailors, also full of cargo and personnel, and the extremely deep waterline also showed that their carrying capacity estimates were above average.

If it weren't for the strict requirements for the draft load, the first mate on deck would have stacked these barrels full of black bread and bacon on top of each other, and all of them would have been docked on the ship, and all these necessary materials would be transported to Cape Town in one go, without the hassle of going back and forth in the future.

Levi was still standing on the inboard side of the bow building of the Devo merchant ship, pulling out the telescopic binoculars in his hand and looking at the sea in front of him. The calm wind and waves are also the main reason why Levi and Green dare to let the two ships be directly fully loaded, after all, in the windy and rough weather, the full load of cargo, although it can play the role of ballast, but the too heavy hull will also lose the ability to resist the wind and waves.

Even if Levi didn't understand, Green, who had been a captain in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean for more than ten years, still knew quite well, slowly walked up to the bow of the ship, looked at the extremely calm sea in front of him, and also showed a slight smile, turned his head to Levi and said: "According to the news I inquired about on the dock, we can sail along the coast for more than an hour, and we can reach the range of Cape Town, which is closer than the distance to the Silver Coast." ”

"This will also make it easier to contact Gray Mist City in the future."

Nodding slowly, Levi looked at the sea in front of him through the telescopic binoculars in his hand, carefully issued a few orders, and after bypassing a few relatively narrow reef groups, he also directed the two ships to quickly go to the direction of Haijiao Town. They had also consulted a few old people on the dock in advance, especially a few fishermen who used to trade herring to and from Cape Town, and they also got specific information about Cape Town, at least they didn't have to explore the sea route to Cape Town, it was quite convenient.

But the news of the old fishermen was all seven or eight years ago, when Cape Town was still prosperous, and now what has become of it, even those residents of Cape Town who have migrated here do not know. Nearly a decade is enough time for a thriving city to decline, not to mention a devastating blow to Cape Town, a town whose only fishing is the backbone of its development, even if it is completely occupied by plants and beasts.

Everything had to be done after it had arrived, and the work that had to be done to build the lighthouse was relatively simple for Levi. Although the requirement is a stone lighthouse, it is not impossible to build a brick and stone structure, and the technical content of firing bricks is not high. Hundreds of people working together to build a ten-meter-high lighthouse is actually just looking difficult, in fact, even if you purchase stones in Gray Mist City and transport them to Cape Town, with the advantage of easy and fast sea routes, it will not cost much money and too much labor cost.

Skirting a few reef formations, there are also small sandy beaches along the coast, and you can find patches of primeval forest thriving inland. Although the island has been discovered for more than 200 years, the main developments are still the city of Gray Mist, which is a good deep-water port, the city of Samar in the central plain, and the silver coast, which is rich in silver mines. The area of Cape Town, located in the northeast, is a three-no-zone with no economy, no trade, and no minerals, which is the main reason why it was abandoned by Gray Mist City without hesitation.

It's just that the current Cape Town has been rejuvenated due to geographical reasons, and Levi's arrival is to add candle flames and lamp oil to the lantern that has been extinguished. But after all, Cape Town has been abandoned for nearly ten years, and it is still difficult to get back to the same level as before, which is also the main reason why Levi can come here as a pioneer, and the entire high-level of Gray Mist City no longer has much hope for Cape Town.

"Ahead is Cape Mountain, and it looks like Cape Town has arrived."

Looking at the horizon in front of him, an obvious bulge appeared in his eyes, and the face of the first mate Green was also a little solemn. took out the pocket watch in his arms, looked at it and spent less than an hour, nearly half an hour faster than he expected, and nodded slowly. First Officer Green turned his head to Levi next to him and reminded, "Behind Cape Mountain is our Cape Town, but I hope you are mentally prepared. ”

"It can't be completely a ruin, this psychological blow can still be withheld."

Touching his chin, Levi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he looked at the Cape Mountain in front of him, which was gradually becoming clearer. The name of Cape Town is related to the Cape Mountain in front of it, and it is like a shield that firmly guards Cape Town behind it. However, the so-called Cape Mountain actually has little to do with the majestic mountain range, and the height difference is only more than 200 meters, although it is also lush, it is really not comparable to the majestic mountain range at the confluence of the Silver Coast and the central plain of Samar City.

The reason why it is called Cape Mountain is also because of the undulating shore around it, just at the Cape Mountain, a part of it suddenly protrudes into the sea, and the highest peak of Cape Mountain is also on the outer side of the closest to the sea, which looks like a thick horn, so it was named Cape Mountain by the adventurers who first discovered it, so the Cape Town established in this place also continued this name, which can be regarded as an anecdote.

"It's finally here!"

Gently twisting his aching back, Levi's eyes widened as he stood on the bow floor. As the two ships gradually crossed Haijiao Mountain, a relatively flat area also appeared in front of him, and there were traces of lush forests everywhere, but his face was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously touched the tip of his nose, and sighed helplessly: "It seems that our Haijiao Town has really been occupied by plants and animals." ”

First Officer Green also looked at the lush coastline in front of him, but as he looked around, he could still see many houses interspersed with bushes and trees. But when he took out his telescope and looked at the direction, there were a bunch of buildings with only specific outlines left, which made him frown slightly, and said with some regret: "It seems that this area is completely empty." ”

"It seems that the deserted town has been completely depressed after the residents were relocated."

Shaking his head in embarrassment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Levi's mouth. A city that has been completely reduced to ruins, even the clean-up work is estimated to take a long time, but he turned his head to look at the pile of axes and sickles and other tools on the deck, and nodded helplessly: "Fortunately, we have prepared a lot of tools, if we can reclaim a habitable area, maybe we can also attract the residents of the original Cape Town to come back." ”

They had already consulted when they came, and had bought a great deal of food and tools, and now they did seem to have had foresight. And as long as they can develop well in Haijiao Town, there will be no shortage of speculators to look for opportunities to make money, not to mention the group of Haijiao Town residents who originally grew here, there are many people who are very poor, once their hometown returns to the prosperity of the past, maybe there will be a lot of residents who come to take refuge, and then it can also speed up the reconstruction of Haijiao Town, forming a good virtuous circle.
