After cursing the thief, Lawrence headed to Ferry Harbor with a group of escorts.

Lawrence looked at the quiet sea, full of concern for those who sailed.

"A simple lighthouse has been built here these days, five meters high, mainly to guide ships to the shore."

When Sariel heard this, she said helplessly: "Lawrence, you just like to do more things like this, when the fog is foggy, you have to wait until winter, and it's still early in winter." ”

Lawrence explains, "It's called foolproof, you think only of foggy days, but you don't think of dark days. ”

"At night, the ships are basically not moving, and there are people who are always in control of the direction, just to prevent the ships from going far from the shore."

"If we had a lighthouse here, those people would be able to see this place even at night and know how to approach this way."

Delenn rarely interjected, and asked at this point, "What if the Vakiri people see it?" ”

Lawrence suddenly thought that the Vakiri were going out to make money too, especially at this time.

"Probably not, the Vakiri......" Lawrence pondered the possibility, and quickly said, "If they come, kill them!" ”

Delenn chuckled and said, "Just the water people here? ”

The water people refer to the people of the Water City, and these more than 100 people are chased all over the ground by more than a dozen Bhumixiu, where are the opponents of the Vakiri people.

Lawrence affirmed, "Don't underestimate wary humans, and besides, we're not just people from the City of Water. ”

"Build a lighthouse first, and then mobilize the militia."

Lawrence quickly decided to strengthen the defenses here, "Let Al Ali give a mission in the tavern and recruit a few Southerners to help us fight!" The reward is to be able to eat bread and ale wine every day, and after half a month, you can take away 30 catties of wheat! ”

"Let Brick bring the two dogs!"

"Many of my people have never seen the sea, and they would love to come and stay here for a while," Delen said. ”

Lawrence said directly: "Yes, there is a need for warriors here. ”

Sariel asked, "There's nothing going on here, just let Seravin or someone else do it, and we'll go back to the church to set up the room." ”

Lawrence's initial plan was to live in the town of Phumesius, but his plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

"We'll stay here and wait for the fleet to come back."

Salyl suddenly looked bitter, "How long will that take...... It's very difficult to live here by the sea, especially tidal, and it's very uncomfortable to live. ”

Sea view villas are indeed not a good place in this era, at least not the people by the sea and the mountains.

"Talk less, do more, and remember the bittersweet memories in advance this year!"

Lawrence reprimanded Sariel.

Salyl muttered, "How many times have you remembered bittersweet this year?" I've suffered a lot. ”

"That's sweeter than before, too!" Lawrence taught: "You are not yet twenty years old, and you want to lie down and enjoy all day, and when Deren was twenty years old, he slept on the floor of the small room every day!" ”

Delenn said unhappily: "Don't talk about me, otherwise I won't give you face!" ”

Lawrence suddenly realized that it was better to be Sariel, who rarely threatened people with violence, even if she chattered all day long, and would still do whatever she was asked to do.

"We are struggling now, we are moving towards the light step by step, and if we want to live better and better in the future, sometimes we have to pay more."

"It's like farming, if you want to harvest more, you have to work harder."

"It's the same with hunting, the prey doesn't fall directly to the ground, it takes luck, but it requires us to be more diligent and make weapons and armor bait."

Sophia nodded and said, "The master is right!" It was the Master who brought us to Paradise, and we cannot stop listening to the Master just because we have arrived in Paradise. ”

Salil muttered, "No, I didn't listen... Alas, I can't take a shower today. ”

Delen was curious: "Can't you bathe in the sea?" ”

Lawrence explains: "No, the sea is not clean, and when you come out of the sea, you get a lot of seawater, and if you don't clean it up in time, you will get dirty things like salt and sand." ”

Delenn nodded, knowing this for the first time.

Ferry Harbor is not as bad as Saril imagined, it has been under construction for more than a year, and various wooden and stone houses are slowly being built.

The original location of the village was not near the sea, but on a protruding terrain.

In addition to a few freshly made longboats, there are also two fishing boats parked on the beach.

It was getting late, and Lawrence soon settled into a large house in Ferry Harbor to rest.

The eating fellows were brought back from the church by the shield maidens on domestic sheep, and the goods that had just been unloaded from the church were loaded and pulled in again.

Soon it was evening.

Lawrence looked at Sariel, who was busy in the cabin, and the maids who were in charge of cleaning and carrying things, and felt that he was really in the way.

"Sophia, Delen, let's go out for a walk."

"Okay."

"Yes, master!" Sophia's voice has always been the sweetest.

Lawrence walked the seashore in a thick bearskin coat and an all-bronze crown representing the prophethood.

It was a bit chilly at night, and Lawrence thought it would be quiet, as most people don't like to be near the sea.

But at this time, there are more than a dozen people on the beach.

Lawrence often came here and recognized these people as people from the City of Water.

The people of the City of Water come to the beach every day from the village of Dumu to pick up all kinds of food.

If there is not enough food on the beach, the five of them will drive a small boat and look for food on the seabed two or three hundred meters away from the beach.

Both men and women are good at diving and fishing for shrimp and crab prey on the bottom of the sea.

Lawrence looked at the people by the beach and walked over to say hello.

The people on the beach knelt on the beach in advance when they saw Lawrence approaching.

One by one, soon they were all on their knees.

"Prophet!"

Lawrence stopped two meters away from the men and asked, "Are you busy with dinner?" Who's the head here? ”

A man said, "Prophet, I am Rao, the captain here. ”

Lawrence looked at the man who looked to be forty years old, "Rao, what are the people in your team doing right now?" ”

The team is a team of more than 100 people, with a team leader and a squad leader underneath.

Rao carefully explained: "There are two groups catching fish in the sea, and the rest of the people are drying salt except for cooking and raising children. ”

Lawrence nodded.

There is no shortage of food here, and it is easy to get enough food.

So more people still dry the sea salt nearby, and in the autumn when the wind is strong, these people dig pools to store seawater in the wider and flatter places in the distance, and use the sea breeze and strong light to dry the salt.

At present, there is only one acre of salt farm, and Lawrence still eats boiled salt, and it is refined salt that has been processed many times.

The population is still too small, and if enough people are prosperous enough to help build the salt works, selling salt will also be a large income.

At this time, a few people surfaced on the beach, and each of them threw the crab in his hand in the boat.

These people saw people by the sea, and they also saw people like Lawrence and Sophia.

Lawrence also saw these people and found that there were men and women.

"Keep busy, let the people in the sea go back to rest, the water here is cooler, don't go to the sea to catch crabs in the winter, just help build houses."

Rao gratefully, "Yes, Prophet, thank you for your kindness! ”

Lawrence soon left to help build the lighthouse.

The lighthouse consists of a ten-meter-high log on which lighting beads are placed, while three logs are tilted around it to hold the wood in place.

The abundance of wood resources is one of the few advantages here, especially the kind of wood that is more than ten meters high, which saves a lot of trivial things.

In addition to being difficult to transport, everything else is an advantage.

Lawrence took the lighting beads he had brought down from the mountain out of the box.

Stimulated by the faint moonlight, the fist-sized illuminator emitted a white light that was even more dazzling than a light bulb.

Many people turned their heads away from the object, and Lawrence quickly stepped on the ladder and placed the beads in the groove at the top of the wood.

Sophia stood in the distance and looked at the light, "Master, will this be stolen?" ”

Lawrence looked at the radiant lamp beads and thought it was very likely.

The brains of savages are capable of doing such things.

"Put a dog here, arrange for two more people to guard here, and we'll build a tower in a few days."
