Twelve years have passed since Leonardo returned. In the end, a certain magician did not leave, and the news was regarded as a farce. However, he also escaped from everyone's attention and disappeared behind the stage of history.
However, the 'legacy' left by the great magician Guybrash Tripwood - I repeat that no one is dead yet - is still fermenting on the Lost Continent. Although many things have developed to the point where people have long forgotten the original
Who is the initiator? Everyone only pays attention to the matter itself.
But there are exceptions to this situation. For example, this summer, in the Haider Empire that straddles the equator on the Lost Continent, the most important institution in the Kingdom of Silk, one of the vassal states, is the Mulberry Garden.
Silk products have been the exclusive industry of the Kingdom of Silk for a long time. Even though mulberry trees have been known to raise silkworms for a long time, the most important silkworm species have not been leaked out, and the Haider Empire is its backer.
If other places want to steal this technology, they have to consider whether it is worth offending an empire.
If it were placed in an ancient time that traveled through many hometowns, other big countries and small countries would steal. The country of origin may not know this kind of thing at the first time. By the time the matter cannot be covered up, it will be too big to handle.
.
But in the Lost Land, although before the forum, the flow of information was not that convenient. But with continent-level transnational organizations such as the Adventurer's Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Magician's Association, the information was not as secluded as in someone's hometown.
So serious.
More importantly, Lost Land is a world with great personal power.
In the ancient times of someone's hometown, if you wanted to travel a long distance to a distant country to cause trouble, either a large army would set out and only one out of ten would return home, or a big country would be dragged to death by military expenses.
But in the Lost Land, you only need to send a few strong men to easily destroy all the fixed facilities such as the silkworm breeding ground. On the contrary, it is more difficult to assassinate a specific target.
This kind of technology has no commercial value if it is not scaled up; once it is scaled up, it will be a very eye-catching target. Facing the special operations launched by the strong, there is almost no resistance.
Over time, other countries and nobles no longer considered the issue of self-produced silk. After all, no one could accept a large amount of investment, which was completely destroyed before it could be recycled.
Even if it can be rebuilt, you still need to consider whether the cost of constant rebuilding is worth the investment. Compared with rebuilding, the cost of destruction is too low.
And this is different from the drug that travels back home. Although no one does the loss-making business and some do the beheading business, the most important thing about the drug is that it is addictive. Once you get addicted to it, you will consume it until you die. This can be regarded as a huge profit.
It’s a long-term business.
Although silk can be regarded as a huge profit industry, it is just a luxury product. It is not addictive and there are many substitutes. So in reality, no one is willing to continue to rebuild the silk industry that is destined to be destroyed.
The arrogance and violence of the Haider Empire are the biggest reason why the Kingdom of Silk can appear to be transcendent. Of course, behind the scenes, the protection fee that should be paid is not small. Otherwise, why should an empire protect the people below?
A vassal state? Why not just annex it.
However, the monopoly that had been maintained for so long was still broken. In an unexpected way.
Within the Gwana Empire, a kind of magical silk appeared in the holy city of Estali. This is a direction that the Kingdom of Silk has been trying but has been unable to make a breakthrough.

Although the output of magic silk is not large, the clothes produced are also quite special, similar to the traditional clothes of a certain ethnic group in the Kingdom of Silk. But these sets of clothes are extremely powerful magic equipment, and can even be used directly as armor and protection.
The sword is added to the body.
Even though the output of clothes made from magic silk was not large, the effect was so powerful that those who were lucky enough to use it showed it off, and people followed it, and things became so popular.
If the maker is an ordinary person, or a skilled craftsman, then all kinds of overt and covert means must be used. If the person is not caught, at least a few works must be obtained from the other party. No matter how small the output is, it is
Is there any way to think of it?
But the reality is that with a former demon king sitting in charge, most people don't dare to make mistakes.
Another key magician is so powerful that he can fight against the three Lords of Holy Light alone and wipe out the Grand Dukedom of an empire. Those who want to engage in some conspiracy should really consider whether they are powerful enough to be touched by others.
Finger.
With silk monopolies like the Kingdom of Silk and the Haider Empire, it is of course impossible for them to keep quiet about someone's actions. They actually came several times with the strongman's surprise attack method, and then they never came back.
, the ending where the opponent loses nothing...
This was the reason why people from the Kingdom of Silk later visited, hoping to use national-level pressure to force the magician to surrender.
It was a series of accidents that the members of the Holy Sword Society were in their team, and then they started to fight. The strong men sent secretly in front of them all died so heartbreakingly that it made people feel sad. Who would want to fall out with that magician?
The result of still failing in the end was infuriating at the time. But after the incident in the south of the Karlsruhe Empire, those indignation turned into a fluke.
Fortunately, the magician didn't go crazy, otherwise the Kingdom of Silk would definitely be gone, and the Haider Empire wouldn't be in a good mood. Even if you don't care about the country behind you, you will definitely bear the brunt.
This was the thought shared by those who stood up and tried to exert pressure. They were on the front line at that time.
However, this does not mean that the Kingdom of Silk and the Haider Empire have just settled down, let alone give up the benefits that magical silk can bring. In addition to continuing the clueless research, the easiest way is to find the magician
Ask the person next to you to take action.
Threats and inducements are two eternal weapons. But we must be careful and make insidious moves to avoid awakening the two ferocious beasts and bringing disaster to ourselves. With this delicate operation, the intelligence personnel of the Haider Empire
It’s quite handy.
After continuous efforts, the people of the Haider Empire finally found a breakthrough and obtained a complete set of reeling and jacquard machine designs, as well as the usage ratio of various magic moth types of silk threads.
It's a pity that with the magic combination attached to the silk, they only got two or three sets of templates for outsiders to use.
Not to mention the basalt robes that are comparable to artifacts, the designs of the four spirit costumes, and even the costume designs used by the people around the magician, the Haider Empire was unable to obtain them.
And even if it is a basic foreign trade design, at this stage, they do not have the ability to change the design.
Someone never thought about the issue of popularization, so he never thought about making the operating system stupid. Many design changes require direct changes to the underlying code, rather than simply using menus to select everything.
Therefore, in order to understand the entire process of making magic silk, the p language once made public by a certain magician is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
The programming language on the magic side has actually received much attention in the past twelve years, and has even cultivated a group of talents. The plug-ins of the forum and other gadgets are all the results of these people.
But how can something someone uses for himself be the same thing as something published? I don’t know how many versions of the p language have been revised internally, but the public version is always the original version.
Therefore, the secret factory established in the mulberry garden of the Kingdom of Silk can currently produce only two or three types of magic silk. The weaver girls of the Kingdom of Silk can only make differences in tailoring between tall, short, fat and thin, and are incompetent.
Change the type of magic attached.
Compared with manufacturing the reeling machines and jacquard machines that no one understands the principles of, another equally troublesome thing is the cultivation of silkworm seeds.
The silkworm species that can be used to make silk threads is specific, and this silkworm species is not native to the land. It was brought over by the predecessors of the Kingdom of Silk. I thought that as long as this silkworm species was controlled well, the silk production process would be smooth.
Possible outflow.
However, someone used the most unfavorable method of scientific experiments - the exhaustive method, trying to find the moth species suitable for making silk from the original ecological moth species in Midland. And not only from ordinary moth species,
He even set his sights on the magic moth.
Moreover, Lin incorporated the idea of material science into the production of silk threads. He left a record of the properties of silk threads made with different ratios of moth species. This was something that the weaver girls in the Kingdom of Silk who were resting on their laurels had never done.
Thoughts I had.
The silk of the Kingdom of Silk has not always remained unchanged. But they have focused on post-processing techniques such as weaving and embroidery, as well as silk reeling and the improvement of looms. As for silkworms, that is
He respects it like a god and protects it carefully.
Therefore, someone was treasonous and used the cocoons of other moth species to extract silk threads, but it made many old people in the Kingdom of Silk want to kill people. Unfortunately, they could not be beaten. So everyone just stopped talking.
Nowadays, if you take someone’s design of silk reeling and Jacquard machine, and the formula of moth silk thread. Looking at these things, some people will be satisfied to find other moth species as substitutes, or think that they can get the same result by using only silk moths.
Effective?
In the imitation stage, of course, all aspects must be exactly the same to be considered imitation. The main purpose is to confirm whether the relevant craftsmanship is in place based on the degree of completion between the imitation and the original.
Unless there is a gap in technology and it is difficult to improve or catch up. Otherwise, those who confidently say that they want to improve before they can even complete the exact same thing, and claim that they are better than their predecessors, are either mentally retarded or liars.
Although the people of the Kingdom of Silk are a little stuck in the rules, they at least know how to do things down-to-earth. So the craftsmen in the country are stumbling to build the incredibly delicate Jacquard machine. At the same time, they are also trying their best to collect specific moth species from all over the country.
, and cultivate it.
It's okay to say that those ordinary moths are raised as silkworm moths, so there's no big problem.
But those magic moths are not that simple. Demonic insects containing power are a big trouble for adventurers.
Whenever you encounter it in the wild, the best way is to deal with it with fire. But if you want to capture it alive, it must not be too damaged, and the difficulty will be increased by more than several times.
After catching these magic moth species, how to raise them is another big problem. There is no such part of the raising experience in the information obtained, because the people who did it have not thought about this issue.
Fortunately, most of the creatures with the prefix "Demon" are meat-eaters, and people in the Kingdom of Silk still have this common sense.
After solving two major problems and conducting another trial weaving successfully, there was a celebration dinner.
However, the murder of the three hero brothers, the pamphlet left behind, and various contradictions have dampened the celebration mood of the Kingdom of Silk.
