Chapter 31 Golden Silk, Love Silk

Donner remembers an interesting experiment in junior high school physics class in which a hoof-shaped magnet was used to make a copper coil move in the middle, which would produce an electric current to light up a small light bulb.

Now the magnet, Donner has found it, and the blacksmith Anderson's family has it.

When he was making muskets a month ago, he had wanted to find flint and get a flintlock pistol, but he couldn't find them in almost the whole of Crescent Island, so he found a few magnets in Anderson's house.

So, right now, as long as he gets the copper wire, then he can make a hand-cranked generator to charge the phone.

Copper, as currency, is very common in this world, but copper wire requires certain processing conditions to be manufactured, and Downer is not sure if there is copper wire on Crescent Island.

In the case of Crescent Island, if there is, there are only two places that may exist, one is the old Yuri's house, this alchemist often fiddles with all kinds of strange experiments, maybe he has copper wires, and the second is Anderson's house, after all, as an old blacksmith, he has been dealing with metal all year round.

Without hesitation, Donner went directly to the alchemist Yuri's house first.

Old Yuri was concentrating on holding a roll of sheepskin at this moment, and when he saw Donner come in, he looked up and asked strangely, "Boy, is there something?"

Donner glanced twice into his room, and then asked directly: "Uncle Yuri, I want to borrow something from you, I wonder if you have copper wire here?"

"Copper wire?" Old Yuri closed the parchment scroll and said strangely, "What are you looking for this thing for?"

"Something, it's important. Donner said solemnly.

Yuri nodded slightly, didn't ask more, and only told Donner, "I don't have one here." ”

"Nope. ”

Donner was disappointed, and after saying goodbye to Yuri in a hurry, he rushed to Anderson's house with a fluke in his heart.

Today, the old blacksmith did not forge a weapon, and was sitting in the courtyard drinking, while Anna was tending to the room.

Donner was in a hurry, and when he walked into the courtyard, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Anderson, do you have copper wire here?"

Anderson burped and asked, "Copper wire?"

In Anderson's mind, being able to make iron into thread is already very remarkable, and as for the softer and more fragile copper, if you want to make wire, he really doesn't have this kind of technology.

The old blacksmith's question almost made Donner despair, if even Yuri and Anderson didn't have copper wire, he really couldn't think of anyone on Crescent Island who would have copper wire.

Holding on to the last shred of illusion, Donner asked eagerly, "There is no copper wire, but gold and silver wires are fine, it is important to me, Uncle Anderson." ”

Anderson shook his head, indicating that there really wasn't.

Donner was completely disappointed, too, there was no copper wire, let alone the more precious silver and gold wires.

Donner left the blacksmith shop in despair, and Anna put down the broom and asked her father strangely, "Father, what's wrong with Big Donner?"

Anderson was also wondering, shook his head and said, "He's looking for copper wire, it seems to be very important to him, and gold and silver wire can also be used." ”

"Copper, silver, gold?" said Anna, as if thinking of something, and she looked up at Donner's vanishing back, then hurriedly put down what she was holding and ran back to her room.

"What's wrong? What is this?" Confused by his daughter's actions, Anderson shook his head and continued drinking.

Anna returned to her room and closed the door, pulling out a wooden box from the bottom of the cabinet.

The wooden box has been wiped down all year round, and it is spotless, Anna looks at the wooden box in her arms, on which is carved a lifelike peacock flower, she strokes the pattern on the wooden lid, and her eyes show a look of longing.

The wooden box was locked with a copper lock, and Anna took out the key to open the wooden box, and a long white dress lay quietly inside. Anna bit her lip and pulled out her long skirt and unfolded it.

This is a silk aristocratic dress, the white skirt is embroidered with delicate purple peacock flowers and pearls, and the waist folds spread all the way to the corners of the skirt, like a tumbling wave, and there are wisps of gold on the tip of the wave, which are the gold threads sewn on it.

This aristocratic dress was Anna's mother's wedding dress and the only relic her mother left her.

Anna's mother is the favorite princess of the Peacock Flower family in the Kingdom of Augustus, and in a chance encounter, she was successfully rescued by the down-and-out knight Anderson.

The bridge is very old-fashioned, but it still can't be stopped, the girl who has been locked in the castle since she was a child, and still falls in love with the down-and-out knight Anderson when she has a marriage contract.

Under countless pressures, Anna's mother still married the down-and-out knight Anderson without hesitation, despite the family's opposition.

Like countless bloody stories, the peacock family and Anna's mother's fiancΓ© were furious, and everyone could not tolerate the noble blood being defiled by the lowly civilian knights, and they felt humiliated and began to order the arrest of the two who eloped.

The two hid with Anna in hiding, and when Anna was ten years old, they were exiled to the bandit group of Anderson's friend Willy.

The Peacock Flower family never gave up the capture, and the two who could not escape were in despair, Anna's mother exchanged her life for her husband and daughter, and then Anderson took the ten-year-old Anna to follow Willy to the sea and became a pirate until today.

This dress has always been Anna's spiritual sustenance for her mother, and every time she sees it, she thinks of her mother.

Her mother told her from an early age that when she grew up, she would be the most beautiful girl in the world, and that the day she would put on her long dress, there would be a brave knight who would slay the dragon and ride a unicorn to marry her.

On this day, Anna fantasized about it for eighteen years and waited for eighteen years.

What about knights? Mother doesn't lie to herself.

Anna bit her lip, tears flowed unconsciously, and she stripped off her burlap skirt and changed into a gorgeous aristocratic dress.

At this moment, Anna is as beautiful as an angel.

Her mother told her that if she wore a long dress, she would definitely become the most dazzling princess at the aristocratic banquet in the royal capital, and countless nobles would fall under the corners of her skirts.

Anna began to dance, still the Swan Dance, which her mother had taught her since she was a child, and she had been dancing for fifteen years, always looking forward to seeing the knights who guarded her.

Is there still a chance?

Anna took off her long skirt and put it back on a linen dress, and her tears slipped down one by one, dripping onto the gorgeous aristocratic dress, and Anna began to remove the gold threads on the hem of the skirt.

Would a noble dress without gold thread still be as beautiful as it would be when she wore it?

On the skirt, every inch of gold wire was pulled out by Anna, as if all Anna's own dreams had been drawn.

Putting away her dress and wiping away her tears, Anna took a roll of gold thread drawn from the nobleman's dress and walked towards Donner's hut step by step.
