But at the same time, this place was a gold mine. Every year, before the heavy snows arrived, merchants from Debei would enter the Wilderness and return home with carts full of goods, making a fortune.
If a port could be developed here, one where all merchants could dock, it was almost guaranteed that the area would flourish.
Sea travel was far faster than going by land, saving a great deal of time and allowing for more cargo to be transported in a single trip.
"Just think about it. In the future, this place will become the next White Harbor, maybe even greater. Merchants will flock here in endless streams, iron-hulled ships will line the entire coast, and you will be the Pioneer who transformed this once-forgotten shore into a bustling trade city!" Levi's tone was almost bewitching as he spoke. "The port will be named after you. History will record your name. You will be famous for centuries to come."
