How to quickly set up and take down a tent was a must-have life skill for every sand nation A tent made of sheepskin could shelter three to six people, and usually, one person was responsible to carry all the required tools and equipment There were only four women from Fishbone clan who had applied for the job, so they erected three tents which arrayed in a triangle shape, each of which was fastened by a rope The door of each tent was flung open facing outward, as a way to alert each other in case of danger This was the si all

In the afternoon, Thuraain and summoned everybody He then took them to a place close to the beach

Simbady was surprised to find out that northerners had conducted a thorough search here

On the flat sandy ground stood numerous short wooden poles, each pole tied to a white rope Like dividing doe rectangles Each rectangle was 60was that all the rectangles were of the sae and corner of which was precisely marked and measured Simbady wondered how they did that within a distance of 60 les h count Si the land ooden poles, with strange tools in their hands It seemed they planned to continue to do so until all the land in their sights was covered

"You're finally here" A tall man came up to Thuram "My name is Kencury I''s city Well, you've probably never heard of this organization Even in Graycastle, few people reme who's willing to hire us, we're able to settle down Otherwise, we probably don't knohere we'll end upUht Let's leave this hed and patted Thuram on his shoulder "Anyway, I'll be responsible for the construction of Endless Cape I assuht?"

Echo? Isn't it Lady Drow Silvermoon's nickname? Simbady was shocked by the fact that the Graycastle men named Kencury sat as equal with the chief at the same table!

Not custom to the small talks and Kencury's overelaborate formalities, Thuram made a stiff smile He stepped back and bowed "Please call me Thuram As to those lads, just let me knohat they should do If anyone slacks off, I'll punish them severely"

Apparently, Thuram had received instructions froreat respects to Kencury But Si this area that Thuram was truly afraid of

Kencury stretched out his arms "Very well Guys, there's no tavern or woman here Ahem, I mean that kind of woman So, concentrate on the construction! The first task for you is very si a hole in each rectangle until the sand has reached your knees!"

For asilence

Thurauys all deaf? Get your ass !" He sounded quite ill-tempered, but a hint of triumph in his eyes betrayed his complacency

But Kencury raised his hand and stopped Thura on No need to rush I haven't explained to the those holes"

"Sir, you don't have to explain to the that I can't agree ht, that's the word!" Kencury clapped his hand "It roughly means that once a person knows the reason behind his labor, he'll become more productive So, listen carefully These holes will determine whether we can live here in the future! These holes" He paused for a second and then continued, "are the key to converting seawater to drinking water!"

The group immediately stirred up at these words

"TheRoland thought of it It's just like boiling water—we are going to first feed these holes with seawater Once the water is heated up by the sun and turns into water vapor, we collect the water" Kencury even used his hands to further explain the matter, "It's OK you don't understand You just view the ocean as a giant pool of bitter water saturated with salt If we can separate the salt fro water source!"

Siround He doubted if this project was realistic Put aside the validity of the theory in the latter half of his speech He wondered how they were going to collect such intangible things as water vapor

Kencury clenched his fist "The production will naturally be very lile can only provide water for a dozen people Therefore, we have to build a large number of conversion sheds to supply water for hundreds of workers here! You should all feel lucky, for His Majesty pays special attention to the construction plan of Endless Cape This is also the second town na other than Neverwinter To celebrate the unification of the Southernion, His Majesty endowed the toith the nauys are not only the builders of Festive Harbor but also the first residents who settled down here!"
