A little girl who looked to be only three or five years old opened her big bright eyes, hugged her mother's legs, raised her head, and asked questions in a milky voice.
"Today is today."
The woman called the mother lowered her head and looked, then squatted down and touched the child's head. She looked back at the towering mage tower at the end of the pier, and pointed at the tower in the distance that disappeared in the thick morning mist.
pier.
"Dad will be back from there in a big boat soon."
"Why did dad go out for so long this time?"
"Yeah, it's been a really long time...but dad said he would definitely come back today."
Richard has been away for almost a month. Although Richard had told her before leaving that he would be away for a long time this time and promised that he was just going to receive a new ship and there would be no danger. However, sailors go to sea,
How can the wife at home not worry?
After all, in this era, there are too many things that are never heard of once they are gone.
At the beginning, she still firmly believed in Richard's promise, but as time went by, her worries gradually grew. She once asked the steward of the Mage Tower, and the steward assured him:
"Richard is safe and well and we have received word that he and his crew have arrived safely on Tower Island."
"Ta Island? Is it a transit port on that route?"
"Yes, the acceptance period for new ships is relatively long, but he will definitely come back before the next shipment day."
She had heard Richard talk about this place. Apart from a port, it was essentially an uninhabited island. What new ships could be accepted in such a place?
She began to have doubts.
However, the words of the steward of the Mage Tower cannot be questioned.
At least she couldn't as the wife of an ordinary captain. She could only express her gratitude and leave silently. However, the worry in her heart that she wanted to alleviate became more intense. All kinds of terrible thoughts gradually became clear and turned into
There were sharp thorns, which hurt her.
Tortured to the point of being unable to sleep, she worked hard to take care of her children and do housework during the day. However, in the dead of night, when her daughter fell asleep, she would hide in the kitchen and cry silently.
She had not slept well for several days and her eyes were swollen. However, early this morning, she still supported her tired body and brought her daughter to the port.
Because today is the day that the steward said Richard would return to Hong Kong.
In early spring, there was a thick morning mist floating on the sea. It became hazy and blurry a little further away, making it difficult to see clearly. However, she did not walk away, she just hugged her daughter and tried hard to see through the fog.
"Da da da."
Strange sounds echoed on the dock. She looked around, but couldn't see anything clearly.
Deep in the thick fog, there seemed to be some black shadow wandering back and forth, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. However, it was a long time before she saw the black shadow break through the thick fog and drive in front of her. The hope gradually turned into disappointment.
, she sighed in her heart: "Yes, how can it be possible to enter the port at this time in such a heavy fog."
She squatted down again and tightened her daughter's coat - the dock in the thick fog made people feel a little cold. So she didn't notice that the thick fog behind her suddenly rolled up, and it seemed to hit a transparent wall.
Being forced, he rolled backwards, quickly emerged from the pier, and retreated towards the sea outside the harbor.
"Mom, what is that!"
"What?" She turned around, but she only had time to see the rolling mist rolling away from something huge, and then a ray of shining sunlight reflected from the towering, huge building-like object, piercing the
Her eyes were sore.
She covered her eyes.
In the place where the sunlight was reflected, Polu stood on the bridge, watching the thick fog suddenly dissipate through the glass window, and said to Zhu Yiwei, who was standing beside him and had just ended the magic communication: "This thick fog blockade is quite good.
Not bad. What’s its name? I want to make one for Ta Dao.”
"Why do you want this? The only use of this thing is to block the line of sight. There are many ways to detect through thick fog. Besides, doesn't your artillery need a clear line of sight?"
"At least it can be used to dispel fog."
"I'm back. I've measured the water depth. There's not enough space in front of the pier, and the pier isn't long enough. Plan A will definitely not work."
Leonardo showed his head from the small platform outside the door, and he climbed up along the rope outside the bridge.
"It's okay, let's execute plan B!"
"good!"
He walked into the bridge, opened the cover and took a picture of the ship-wide broadcast button: "Assemble! Everyone come to the deck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a banging sound from under the bridge.
A burst of noisy voices rang out: "Hurry up! Stand still, stand still!"
"The leader is about to jump off the building! Let me pass quickly!"
"It's killing me! Hurry up! Just let me go ashore! You can do anything!"
"Hahaha! I'm going to stay in a tavern for a few days!"
Lionel stretched out his head: "You guys are yelling! Come on, go and pull the rope to No. 001! Everyone swing over! Execute plan B!"
He landed with a clang on the deck.
When Polu walked out of the platform, he only saw a figure, holding a rope loop, running a few steps on the deck, leaping towards the cargo ship a hundred meters away!
"Fuck!"
The figure flew more than ten meters and then splashed into the water, causing a large wave of waves.
"I'm lying on the grass! Isn't there a boat?"
"He is in a hurry to drink and doesn't want to wait any longer!"
Someone in the crowd answered for him.
The figure was full of fire, swimming in the water like a torpedo, and swam quickly to the cargo ship. He grabbed the rope thrown from the cargo ship, kicked off the side of the ship, swung a few times, and jumped onto the cargo ship.
After tying the rope, he raised his hand and waved.
"The rope is tight on the No. 3 turret! Once it's done, swing over!"
The knights took out their iron hooks, scrambled to demonstrate various volley hook abilities in the air, made various strange screams, and slid along the cable towards the cargo ship.
Boru angrily shouted on the bridge:
"Can you stop being so pirate-like! Can't you be more serious and take a boat? With so many people on board at one time, you won't be afraid of breaking the rope! It's difficult to make such a long rope!"
No one answered.
Boru could only watch the knights swing onto the deck of the cargo ship.
As soon as they stepped onto the deck, they began to work around the square cargo fixed on the deck. These square cargoes were roughly pushed into the water, causing a large splash of water. However, they did not sink, and one end of them floated in the water on its own.
The lines unfolded to form a rectangular platform!
Several knights jumped onto the platform with long poles, oars and chains. They rowed the oars to move the platform away from the side of the ship.
Another iron box was thrown into the water, and the splashing waves only brought them excited roars!
Several more people climbed over the railing and jumped down, paddling towards the first platform. They relied on long poles, oars and chains to work together to combine the two platforms!
More and more square boxes were thrown into the water and then combined into part of the platform. The platform gradually extended to form a long floating dock!
“This is a good thing, and it’s really simple to make.”
"This thing alone can't be used if the waves are too big. But there is no way. I said that you can pull a pier out of the sea on site and you don't agree."
"Didn't I say that we don't agree? It's because the local Mage Tower executive can't do it! Pulling a wall so long and high from the bottom of the sea requires a lot of control and magic power. It can't be done.
Are you asking my teacher or some great mage to come here just to help you get a dock?"
"That's not necessary. I can make do with this one. It just has a lower transport capacity. Use it a few times first, and then I'll renovate it into a serious terminal for them!"
While talking, the steel platform not far away had been assembled, and the knights jumped on the pontoons floating on the sea. After receiving the signal, the small tugboat towed the floating dock composed of iron pontoons toward the
