While Grace and Alice were arguing, Meng Han was not idle. He sat on the edge of the pond, took off his shoes, soaked his feet in the cool water, and felt the different feeling of the hot climate on the edge of the desert.
, but my mind is constantly turning.
The Silk Road, ever since this concept appeared in Meng Han's mind, Meng Han has been thinking about this aspect. If silk can really be created, it will definitely create a crazy trend in this world.
.
This is not Meng Han's imagination. In fact, when Eastern silk came to Europe through the Silk Road, the upper class in Europe simply went crazy. The same weight of gold may not be exchanged for the same weight of silk. Yes.
Those who use silk products are definitely the leaders among the nobility. Silk has also become a symbol of identity and status throughout Europe.
If Meng Han can really make silk, Meng Han can conclude that the madness caused by it is definitely no worse than that of the European nobles back then. The question is, can Meng Han make silk?
The world has weaving technology, otherwise we would not have the clothes we wear on our bodies. So, the first headache is the most important raw material among silks, silk. There are horses in the world, but are there silkworms? Meng Han and
have no idea.
While he was frowning, a pair of small hands fell on Meng Han's head and began to massage Meng Han vigorously. But it was Demi and Diana who finished serving Alice, and then found Meng Han along the way.
"Diana, find Adam and Grandpa Aaron. I have something to ask them." After Meng Han subconsciously gave the order, he remembered that Aaron and Adam are not young anymore and they cannot be allowed to run around.
, immediately stopped Diana who was about to set off: "Wait a minute, I'll go in person!"
Aaron, Adam, and a group of other older people basically don't have any heavy work. They usually just make the basics of some simple magic ornaments. When Meng Han arrived, they were busy.
After stopping everyone's intention to pay tribute to Meng Han, Meng Han asked everyone to be casual, and then asked Aaron and Adam: "Have you ever heard that there is a small insect in the world that can spin silk?"
"A little bug that spins silk?" Aaron and Adam knew that since the lord asked this, it must be an important decision, so they did not answer very lightly, but began to frown and think hard.
"Sir, I don't know about little bugs, but there are quite a few big ones that spin silk." Adam thought for a while and gave Meng Han an answer: "There are many jungle spiders in the Elf Forest, and there are level 4 monsters, such as
The camel beast is slightly smaller. If adults are looking for silk thread, the silk of this kind of monster may be suitable."
Jungle spider? Level 4 monster? Slightly smaller than a camel beast? Isn’t it the size of an ordinary horse? How can such a big guy meet the needs of a large amount of silk, no matter how much silk it has on its body? Besides, if you want to capture four
Is it possible for a super monster to just say a word?
Meng Han smiled bitterly and rejected the suggestion from his heart. Adam and Aaron thought about it for a long time, and mobilized other old people to think about it for a long time, but they didn't think of any little silk-spinning bugs. However, the ones mentioned were all
It's a big guy, either in the Elf Forest, or in the more ferocious Demon Valley, etc., it's not usable at all.
"I understand." Meng Han nodded towards Aaron and the others without saying anything else. If Meng Han didn't speak, Aaron and the others would not take the initiative to ask him. In the end, Meng Han thanked Xie Aaron and others, and then took the
Demi and Diana left.
Meng Han felt a little heavy along the way and kept silent. Even though Alice had agreed to marry him, Meng Han was still not happy. If the blockade of Stormwind City cannot be broken, Huangsha Town will be a dead place in a few months.
The town, let alone the happy life in the future, were all in vain.
Wait! A thought suddenly flashed through Meng Han's mind, and he immediately stood there and began to think. Demi and Diana were used to his actions, so they didn't care at all. They stood silently on both sides with four eyes.
He stared at the surroundings vigilantly, seeming to be on guard for the lord.
There are jungle spiders in the Elf Forest. Although it is simply a dream to hunt jungle spiders in the Elf Forest with one's own strength, even the strength of the entire Huangsha Town, but it shouldn't be that difficult for the elves living in the jungle, right?
Meng Han remembered very clearly that in his agreement with the elves, there was still an unfulfilled promise. Meng Han could conduct normal trade activities with the elves for a certain kind of goods. This was just an agreement that Meng Han had an idea at that time.
, now it seems that it might come in handy.
"Demi, call brothers Christopher and Christian over. I have something to ask them to do." Meng Han skillfully assigned Demi a job, then found a comfortable place and waited quietly.
"You still owe me a promise, and I think it's time to fulfill it now." Standing at the edge of the Elf Forest, Meng Han looked at a strange male elf who came as promised, and made his request in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"What promise?" As soon as the male elf spoke, Meng Han could tell that this was the guy who always got scolded for his boldness when he talked to the big shots of the elves several times. Originally, Meng Han was still wondering, what happened to the little witch?
Whether it will come or not, but since it is this elf, it is better. When the promise was made, he was also present, and it seemed to be more clear when he said it.
"We agreed that when I have the financial resources, I will trade goods with the nobles. Now I want the nobles to fulfill this promise." Meng Han also told the content of the promise at that time, believing that this male elf would definitely do it.
Remembered.
Sure enough, the male elf frowned and relaxed, with a clear look on his face: "What kind of goods do you want? If it is the sword from last time, calculate it according to the price you sold it for. You said
Yes, buy and sell according to the market price."
"What do I need those things for?" Meng Han glanced at the male elf strangely. It seemed that the elves knew that the batch of swords the little witch gave him last time were auctioned by Meng Han. However, even if the elves knew, Meng
Han didn't care at all. Of course, he could use the things he gave him casually, and he wouldn't have anything to say if he sold them to others.
"Don't want a sword? Then what do you want?" Meng Han seemed a little surprised that he didn't want the kind of elven art that can be sold at a high price. The male elf asked with some surprise: "Do you want to buy Moon Well water? Not me.
If I don’t remind you, you won’t be able to buy a bottle even if you lose all your money.” Afterwards, the difficult elf showed an indescribable smile, which contained reminders, admonitions, and even a sense of contempt.
"Do you have jungle spider silk? I want a lot of it!" Meng Han did not talk around the male elf and directly made his request. After speaking, he waited for the male elf's reaction. This guy is not one of the few he has seen.
Can any one of the big guys, whose identity is unknown, make the decision?
"Do you want the silk of a jungle spider?" The male elf had a strange look on his face, and seemed to be very puzzled by Meng Han's request. However, he was just puzzled, but did not show any concern. It seemed that for them, this
It's just something that couldn't be easier.
Seeing this expression, Meng Han suddenly felt a sense of expectation in his heart. If the elves can really get the silk of jungle spiders easily, the dream of silk seems not far away.
"I need to ask Her Majesty the Queen for instructions." The male elf didn't seem to want to talk to Meng Han anymore, leaving only one sentence for Meng Han, and then left the place without waiting for Meng Han to make any more requests.
"Who is he? Christian!" Meng Han was very curious about this male elf who had always been rude and didn't know his identity. Now that no outsiders were present, Meng Han turned around and asked the elf brothers.
"He is Alfred, the commander of Her Majesty the Queen's Guards." Christian did not hide anything from Meng Han this time, and directly answered Meng Han's question. Compared with his hesitant performance last time, Christian was already
He was even more biased towards Meng Han.
The other party didn't say when they would reply, and Meng Han didn't know when they would find him. Now that he was half-baked in the sun, it only gave Meng Han more hatred for some people from the elves: "One day I will
When your silk fabrics are famous all over the world, let’s see what kind of faces you look like!”
Meng Han, who returned first, did not wait long when he saw someone from the elves, and he was an acquaintance. This time, it was not the little witch, but Sister Louisa and a few powerful masters who looked like their bodyguards.
In Meng Han's Lord's Mansion, Louisa and Louise asked the experts to wait outside, and they entered the hall of Meng Han's Lord's Mansion alone. Seeing Meng Han, the two women said nothing more and just
Habitually walked to Meng Han, one stood behind Meng Han and started massaging, and the other knelt in front of Meng Han and beat his legs. This made Demi and Diana feel that their positions were robbed, and they were very unhappy. Fortunately,
, knowing that they were only here for a while, and that this was the habit before, the two maids did not fall out on the spot.
Meng Han, on the other hand, was startled by the natural movements of the two women. Although the two women were still wearing the wonderful clothes and armors that Meng Han had carefully crafted for them, they each had a very high-end magic wand in their hands.
Obviously, they are already magicians. It is no big deal to let two twins who need their own protection beat their legs and rub their shoulders, but it seems a bit too much to let two genius magicians from the elves do this.
However, Meng Han was only startled at first and immediately recovered. His relationship with sisters Louisa and Louise had nothing to do with the higher-ups of the elves. After all, they were just poor people caught in the middle.
"You are now magicians. If your tribe finds out like this, I will die without a burial place." Meng Han said with a smile, feeling the familiar massage of the two women, as if he was joking.
"Sir!" The two women still called Meng Han in unison, but before they could say the next words, they were interrupted by Meng Han.
"With your status in the Elf Tribe, it seems inappropriate to call me Sir, right?" Meng Han said with a smile: "Being discovered by your tribe will be a big trouble. So, you should call me by my name!"
"Antonio?" Louise tried calling, but then immediately frowned: "It doesn't sound good."
Meng Han had black lines popping up all over his head, and finally gave Louise a helpless smile: "Then just call me Tony!"
"Tony!" This time, Louisa followed suit and changed the title directly. Both women also knew that calling him Master Meng Han would really cause trouble for Meng Han. What they saw last time was enough to make them
They understand Meng Han's status in the eyes of the elves, so they don't want to make it difficult for Meng Han.
"Tony, why do you want to buy the silk of a jungle spider?" Louise was a little strange, but also a little anxious: "The jungle spider is the mount of one of our elven guards. They produce a lot of silk every day, which is difficult to process.
, and it doesn’t have any magical properties, so what’s the use of coming here? If you want to make money, we have a lot of things, and you humans are all rushing to get them, so why do you have to have those?”
Louise's words made Meng Han jump with joy. The silk of jungle spiders was just a difficult problem to deal with among the elves. This was simply the best gift God had given to Meng Han. Meng Han was eager now
He wants to see if these silk threads can be used to weave silk. What he is most afraid of now is that the silk threads of these giant jungle spiders are thumb-thick ropes. In that case, it will be a big trouble. Not to mention a waste of a promise, but also
Knowing how to draw water from a bamboo basket will be in vain.
"Tony, we brought some jungle spider silk. See if it's what you want." Louisa was more cautious and took out a box from her body and handed it to Meng Han: "If it doesn't suit you, you can
On another condition. I have already asked Her Majesty the Queen, and she agreed."
"Thank you." Meng Han didn't know what to say now. Sisters Louisa and Louise indeed regarded him as a good friend. They must find a way to repay this friendship in the future. But now it is the most important thing.
The important thing is to see if the jungle spider's silk is suitable.
Opening the box, Meng Han saw the gray mass of so-called jungle spider silk. It was slender, soft, and slightly sticky to the touch. Meng Han knew that this was because of the mucus on the untreated silk.
What makes Meng Han happiest is that these silks are actually long and extremely tough. They are simply the best material for making silk.
"Get rich!" Meng Han shouted happily, and then pulled up Louisa who was beating his legs in front of him, and kissed her hard on the face. Then, he turned around and pulled Louisa behind him, and the same
They kissed each other wildly, and then cheered without emotion.
