About half an hour later, the Chris finally arrived at the port.
The huge crescent-shaped port was filled with ships of all sizes. It could be said that ships came and went, making it extremely lively.
This was one of the two major port cities in the Kingdom of Sasardor, Hutton Port City. There were a total of 19 large docks in the port, which were divided into two types: cargo docks and passenger docks. Number 1 to 11 were cargo docks, and number 12 to 19 were passenger docks. Each dock had eight ship berths, a total of 152 ship berths.
Hutton Port City had a population of 800,000, divided into three districts: the coastal city, the central city, and the outer city. The coastal city was the coastal area that included the entire crescent-shaped port. The total length of the harbor wall was 8300 meters, and the depth was about 2000 meters. It had about 300,000 people.
The Central City was the center of Houghton Harbor City, including the City Lord's Mansion, the noble district, the top commercial street, and so on. It was 4800 meters long and 3500 meters deep, with about 200,000 people. The surrounding steep mountains surrounded the coastal area and the central area.
As for the outer city, it was the closest to the island and the furthest from the sea. It included the commoner's district, slums, ordinary commercial streets, and so on. It was 7200 meters long and 6300 meters deep. It had about 300,000 people and was surrounded by forests.
"Ha, so many boats!" Allaine stood on the deck and looked around excitedly. The ships passing by, especially the pirate ships, were sailing in the harbor brazenly.
"It's so big and lively! It's much livelier than our Chigia Island.”This was the first time Golb had seen such a large port, and he felt that it was very novel.
"Hey, Demetrio, you look so familiar. Have you been here before?”With two katana slung over his waist and his hands on the railing, Oliver shouted at Demi lazily.
"Yes, Demi, Captain Jerry brought you here, right?”On the bow of the boat, Arida hugged Millie and Mina's slender waists and turned around to ask. However, he was used to seeing modern coastal cities and wasn't very interested in this place. The only thing he found novel was the exotic customs here. It was more like the 16th or 17th century on Earth.
"Indeed, I came here twice with Teacher Jerry.”Smiling, Demetrio nodded and said gloatingly,""The second time, I even saw a pirate group with a bounty of a few million dollars. Because they had a conflict with a merchant, they actually opened fire on the merchant's merchant ship in the port. As a result, they attracted the attention of the navy. A total of twelve navy warships directly wiped out all the pirates in that pirate group. At the same time, they cleared out the pirates within 50 nautical miles. Those pirates were either killed, captured, or escaped. In total, more than ten pirate groups were wiped out, and seven to eight pirate groups were crippled. More than 20 pirate ships were sunk. He had killed over a thousand and captured five to six hundred people.”
"Hahaha…A bunch of idiots, they actually dared to cause trouble in the territory of the East China Sea's navy headquarters. " And those unlucky bastards, haha…" Arida laughed evilly, mocking the pirates who were not afraid of death and those pirates who were implicated.
There were always people in the world who wanted to seek death. This was just like a pirate with a bounty of more than 100 million on the Great Sea Route who went to the navy headquarters to fire at a warship. This was not the way to seek death.
For example, in the original novel, that stupid pirate who wanted to kill General Huang Yuan with a gun in Chambord Islands and wanted to make a name for himself. Huang Yuan didn't want to deal with a scum like you, but if you wanted to die, he wouldn't mind sending you to your death.
"In order to intimidate those idiots, he really spent a lot!”However, Allaine's words had pointed out the navy's intention to make a big move.
"Tsk, a bunch of idiots." The lazy Oliver couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had never seen such a suicidal person.
Gorb had a speechless expression as he slowly spat out two words,""Idiot!"
Demetrio recalled the flustered and exasperated looks of some of the surviving pirates in the bar and chuckled.""Hehe, yes, I even implicated the other pirates. I remember that some of the pirates who were lucky enough to escape cursed the pirates in the bar.”
Soon, the Chris sailed into Pier No. 16 and stopped at the berth of Boat No. 8. The crew on the deck lowered the anchor, folded the sail, and then tied the rope to the huge wooden stake on the pier.
The ship put down the pedal, and Arida led the way. They got off the ship and entered the dock, followed by Oliver and the rest. The crew members of the Chris also got off the ship with their arms around their shoulders, laughing and laughing.
"As expected of the most prosperous island in the East China Sea. It's so lively!”
"Just a district of the coastal port city has a population that is larger than the entire Chigia Island.”
"The feeling of stepping on land is so good!”
The crew members who had escaped from last night's terrifying storm stepped hard on the granite floor and looked around at the lively surroundings. They felt like they were dreaming.
"Now, the rest of you will be free to do whatever you want with 10,000 Bailey, but you must return to the ship before 9am the day after tomorrow.”Arida opened the box in front of him and gave each crew member an 'activity fund'.
"Yay, long live the captain."
"Don't worry, Captain."
“……”
The crew members lined up excitedly to get their money.
Arida suddenly remembered that he had to leave someone to watch the boat. Otherwise, it would be over if it was stolen. He hurriedly said,"Right, leave five people in each team to watch the boat…"
"Captain, there's no need. I'll stay here alone.”Oliver interrupted Arida and said lazily,""Just bring me some good wine from the island.”
" Sigh…" Arida glanced at the lazy Oliver and seemed to understand something."Then I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry." Holding the bottle of wine, Oliver nodded.
"Gorb, you're the head chef. Milimina will go with you. You'll be in charge of buying ingredients, water, and other supplies.”
Arline stroked his blue hair and thought for a moment. He first gave Gorb an order, then said to Arida and Demetrio,""Captain, Demetrio, let's go to the black market to take a look. We need to replenish our ammunition. In addition, six of our cannons fell into the sea during the storm last night, so we need to buy new ones.”
" Okay, okay." Arida nodded nonchalantly. It would be great to have a smart first mate and not have to worry about him.
"No problem. Is 500,000 Bailey enough? Gorb." Demetrio smiled and replied to Allaine. Then, he took out five thick stacks of money and handed them to Gorb.
"Enough! Leave the ingredients and water to me.”Taking the five thick stacks of money, Gorb's scarred face smiled.
"Hi, Mr. First Mate!" Millie and Mina smiled and replied in unison.
