Chapter 121: Jungle Spider
While Grace and Alice were arguing, Meng Han was not idle. Sitting on the edge of the pond, taking off my shoes and soaking my feet in the cool water, I felt the different feeling of being in the hot climate on the edge of the desert, but my mind kept turning.
Silk Road, since this concept appeared in Meng Han's mind, Meng Han has been thinking about this aspect of things. If silk can really be made, it will definitely be able to create a crazy trend in this world.
This is not Meng Han's imagination, in fact, after the silk from the East came to Europe through the Silk Road, it simply made the upper class of Europe crazy. The same weight of gold may not be exchanged for the same weight of silk. Those who can use silk products are definitely the best among the aristocracy. Silk also became a symbol of identity and status throughout Europe.
If Meng Han could really make silk, Meng Han could conclude that the madness caused was definitely no worse than that of the European nobles back then. The question is, can Meng Han make silk?
The weaving technology, this world has, otherwise there would be no such clothes to wear on the body. Then, the first headache is silk, the most important raw material in silk. There are horses in this world, but are there silkworms? Meng Han didn't know.
When he was frowning, a pair of small hands fell on Meng Han's head and began to massage Meng Han hard. But it was Demi and Diana who served Alice, and then found Meng Han all the way.
"Diana, bring Adam and Aaron's grandfather, I have something to ask them. After Meng Han subconsciously ordered, he remembered that Aaron and Adam were already not young, and they couldn't let them run around, so he immediately stopped Diana, who was about to leave: "Wait, I'll go personally!"
Aaron and Adam, as well as a group of other elderly people, basically didn't have much too much work to do. Usually the basis for making some simple magic ornaments, they were busy when Meng Han arrived.
Stopping everyone's action of giving Meng Han a salute, Meng Han asked everyone to be casual, and then asked Aaron and Adam: "Have you heard of a small worm in this world that can spin silk?"
"Little worm?" Aaron and Adam knew that the lord must have made a major decision since he asked like this, so they didn't answer very rashly, but began to frown and think about it.
"My lord, the little insects don't know, but there are quite a few big ones who spin silk. Adam thought for a while and gave Meng Han an answer: "There are a lot of jungle spiders in the elven forest, fourth-level demonic beasts, slightly smaller than camel beasts. If an adult is looking for silk thread, this kind of monster silk may be suitable. ”
Jungle Spider?Fourth-level Demonic Beast?A little smaller than a camel beast?Isn't that the size of an ordinary horse?How can such a big guy, even if he has more silk on his body, meet the needs of a large amount of silk? Besides, if you want to capture a fourth-level Demonic Beast, is it just a matter of saying a word?
Meng Han smiled bitterly and directly rejected this suggestion from his heart. Adam and Aaron thought for a long time, and mobilized the other old people to think for a long time, but they didn't think of any little worm that spits silk. However, the few who came out were all big guys, either in the Elven Forest, or in the more ferocious Demon Valley or something, and they were not available at all.
"I see. Meng Han nodded at Aaron and didn't say anything more. Meng Han didn't speak, and Aaron wouldn't take the initiative to ask him. In the end, Meng Han still thanked Xie Alun and the others, and then left here with Demi and Diana.
Along the way, Meng Han's mood was a little heavy, and he didn't speak, even if Alice had agreed to marry him, Meng Han still didn't get happy. If you can't break the blockade of Stormwind City, in a few months, Huangsha Town will be a dead town, not to mention the happy life in the future, all of which will be in vain.
Wait! A thought suddenly flashed through Meng Han's mind, and he immediately stood in place and began to think. Demi and Diana were accustomed to seeing him act like this, so they didn't care at all, and stood silently on both sides, their four eyes staring vigilantly at the surroundings, as if they were guarding the lord.
There are jungle spiders in the elven forest, although it is a dream to enter the elven forest to hunt jungle spiders with their own strength, even the strength of the entire Huangsha Town, but the elves living in the jungle shouldn't be so difficult, right?
Meng Han remembered very clearly that there was an unfulfilled promise in his agreement with the elves, and 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, and now it seems that maybe it can come in handy.
"Demi, call brothers Christopher and Christian, I have something for them to do. Meng Han skillfully assigned Demi a job, and then found a comfortable place and waited quietly.
"You owe me a promise, and I think it's time to keep it. Standing at the edge of the elven forest, Meng Han looked at a strange male elf who came as promised, and put forward his request without humility or arrogance.
"What promise?" As soon as the male elf spoke, Meng Han heard it, this was the guy who talked to the big man of the elf clan several times, and was always scolded for being bold. Originally, Meng Han was still wondering, how could the little witch not come, but since it was this elf, it would be even better, when the promise was made, he was also present, and it seemed to be more clear to say.
"We agreed that when I had the means, I would trade goods with the nobles, and now I want the nobles to fulfill that promise. Meng Han also said the content of the promise at that time, and I believe that this male elf will definitely remember it.
Sure enough, the male elf frowned, and then stretched out, and a look of understanding appeared on his face: "What kind of goods do you want?" If it is the sword from last time, it will be calculated according to the price you sold it. You said, buy and sell at the market price. ”
"What do I want those things for?" Meng Han glanced at the male elf very strangely, it seemed that the batch of swords given by the little witch last time was auctioned by Meng Han and had been known by the elf clan. However, even if the elven clan knew, Meng Han didn't care, and what he gave himself, of course, he used it casually, and he couldn't say anything if he sold it.
"Don't want a sword, then what do you want?" Seeming a little surprised, Meng Han actually didn't want the kind of elf artwork that could be sold at a high price, and the male elf asked slightly stunned: "Do you want to buy moon well water?" It's not that I don't remind you, you can't buy a bottle of it now that you're bankrupt." Speaking of which, the difficult elf had already shown an indescribable smile, which contained reminders, exhortations, and even a taste of contempt.
"Do you have the silk of the jungle spider? I want a lot of it!" Meng Han didn't go around in circles with the male elf, and directly put forward his own request. After speaking, wait for the male elf's reaction. This guy is not one of the few bigwigs he has ever seen, I don't know what his identity is, can he call the shots?
"Do you want the silk of the jungle spider?" the male elf looked strange, and seemed to be very puzzled by Meng Han's request. However, it was just puzzled, but there was no such worry that was revealed, and it seemed that for them, it was just a matter of effort.
Seeing this expression, Meng Han suddenly had more expectations in his heart. If the elves can really easily get the silk of the jungle spider, the dream of silk does not seem to be far away.
"I need to ask Her Majesty for advice. The male elf didn't seem to want to say anything more to Meng Han, so he only left Meng Han with a word, and then left the place directly without waiting for Meng Han to ask for anything more.
"Who the hell is he?" Christian!" Meng Han was very curious about this male elf who had not been very polite, and did not know his identity. Now that there were no outsiders present, Meng Han turned around directly and asked the elf brothers.
"He is Alfred, the Queen's Commander-in-Chief. Christian didn't hide anything from Meng Han this time, and answered Meng Han's question directly. Compared with the performance of wanting to speak again last time, it has been 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 has been half sunburned, it only adds to Meng Han's hatred for some people in the elf clan: "When Lao Tzu's silk is famous all over the world one day, look what kind of face you have!"
Meng Han, who returned first, didn't wait long, he waited for someone from the elf clan, and he was still an acquaintance. This time, it's not the little witches, but the Luisa sisters and a few tough masters who look like their bodyguards.
In Meng Han's Lord's Mansion, Louisa and Louise directly asked those masters to wait outside, and the two entered the hall of Meng Han's Lord's Mansion alone. Seeing Meng Han, the two girls didn't say anything, and walked directly to Meng Han's side, 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 place was robbed, and they were very unhappy. Fortunately, knowing that they were only here for a while, and it was also a habit before, the two little maids did not turn their faces on the spot.
On the contrary, it was Meng Han who was taken aback by the natural movements of the two women. Although the two girls were still wearing the wonderful clothes and armor that Meng Han had carefully created for them, they each had a magic wand that was very high-grade at first glance, and it was obvious that they were already magicians. It wasn't a big deal to have two twins who needed their own shelter pound their legs and rub their shoulders, but it seemed a bit too much to have two gifted magicians of the elven clan do it.
However, Meng Han was only startled at first, and immediately returned to his nature. The relationship between himself and Sister Louisa Louise has nothing to do with the high-ranking members of the elf clan, and they are just poor worms caught in the middle.
"You are now a magician, and if this is discovered by your people, I will die without a place to bury. Meng Han smiled and felt the familiar massage of the two women, and said jokingly.
"My lord!" the two girls still called Meng Han in unison, but before they could say the next words, they were interrupted by Meng Han.
"Your identity in the elven clan doesn't seem to be appropriate to call me an adult, right?" Meng Han said with a smile: "Being discovered by your clansmen is also a big trouble, so let's call me by my name!"
"Antonio?" Louise tried to scream, then immediately frowned, "It's not good." ”
Meng Han had black lines on his head, and finally gave Louise a helpless smile: "Then call me Tony!"
"Tony!" this time it was Luisa who changed her name directly. The two women also knew that calling Meng Han Lord again seemed to really cause trouble for Meng Han, and what they saw last time was enough for them to understand what Meng Han's status was in the eyes of the elven clansmen, so they didn't want to make it difficult for Meng Han.
"Tony, why do you want to buy the silk of the Jungle Spider?" Louise was a little strange, and at the same time a little anxious: "The Jungle Spider is the mount of one of our elven guards, they have a lot of silk every day, it is difficult to deal with, and there is no magical caste, what is the use of you coming? If you want to make money, we have a lot of things, you humans are rushing to get them, why do you have to ask for those?"
Louise's words simply made Meng Han jump up with joy. The silk of the jungle spider is actually just some troubles that are difficult to deal with within the elf clan, which is simply the best gift from heaven to Meng Han. Meng Han was now eager to see if these silk threads could be woven into silk. What he fears most now is that the silk thread of these huge jungle spiders is a rope the thickness of a thumb, in that case, it will be a big trouble. If you waste a promise, you will be empty.
"Tony, we've brought some Jungle Spider silk and see if it's what you want. Luisa was more secure, and directly took out a box from her body and handed it to Meng Han: "If it's not suitable, you can change the conditions." I have asked Her Majesty the Queen, and she has agreed. ”
"Thank you. Meng Han didn't know what to say now, and the sisters Louisa and Louise did treat him as a good friend. This friendship, I have to find a way to return it in the future. But the most important thing now is to see if the silk of the jungle spider is suitable.
Opening the box, Meng Han saw the gray mass of so-called jungle spider silk. Delicate, soft, and slightly sticky to the touch, Meng Han knew that it was because of the mucus on the untreated silk. What makes Meng Han happiest is that these silks, which are actually long and extremely tall, are simply the best materials for making silk.
"Get rich!" Meng Han shouted happily, and then unwillingly pulled up Louise, who was beating his leg in front of him, and kissed him heavily on the face. Then, he turned around and pulled Luisa behind him, kissed him wildly, and then cheered unpassionately.
