Just when a huge conspiracy was attacking the major kingdoms of the first world, Xue Hua was taking sisters Anne and Funia to sit in the belly of the king insect, admiring the western continent all the way.
The magnificent scenery, while slowly traveling from the air to King's Harbor.
He had just bid farewell to the enthusiastic Harrogas people two days ago and took his girls on a relaxing journey. Now the King Insect just happened to fly out of the snow-covered Arreat Mountains and came to a place full of snow.
Salva forest area with wilderness and large jungle.
Here is located the Kingdom of Ernstinger, a human kingdom famous for its silks and fabrics.
The Kingdom of Ernstinger has not been overly harmed by the invasion of demons due to the protection of its unique geographical location. It is bordered by the tall and majestic Snowy Mountains of Arreat to the north, the largest deep-sea fjord in the Khanduras region to the south, and the vast western area.
Guarded by the endless Twin Seas, the eastern part is firmly protected by the Barrier Mountains.
There is only a small area in the northeastern region where a large number of demons exist in a desert area because it is connected to the Land of Fear. The rest of the area is considered a quiet and peaceful paradise on earth.
When the demonic invasion broke out many years ago, many nobles from other human kingdoms flocked to Ernstinger for refuge.
It was the influx of these nobles that made Ernstinger's already prosperous silk trading industry unprecedentedly prosperous.
Especially in the south of Ernstinger near the bay, there is the vast Salva Forest, which is famous for the abundance of a special tree called "Silkwood".
This kind of tree can only grow in the small area where the Kingdom of Ernstinger is located. It will wither quickly after being transplanted to other areas. This has established the Kingdom of Ennstinger's unshakable position in the silk fabric trading industry.
.
The sap of "Silkwood" can be drawn into filaments after heating, and the filaments can be shaped after cooling.
They are soft, tough yet slender, making them an excellent material for knitting clothing and various fabrics.
Moreover, this kind of silk can be dyed with various colors during the heating process, and many other fabrics cannot be dyed. This also creates the colorful and bright colors of the fabrics exported by the Kingdom of Ernstinger.
The fabric processed from the sap of silk wood is not only soft and dense, but also light and durable. It is very close-fitting and comfortable to wear. It also looks very bright and eye-catching. It can be said that it is highly sought after by the nobles of all major human kingdoms.
However, although the silk trade of the Kingdom of Ernstinger was so developed, the kingdom's national power was not very strong.
The reason is actually due to its unique geographical environment.
Although the Kingdom of Ernstinger, which was protected by natural barriers on all sides, survived the demonic invasion, the development of the country was restricted as a result.
There are very few demons in the Salva Forest to the south, but there are many demonized beasts that are very dangerous to begin with and become even more ferocious after being contaminated by the breath of hell.
Among these beasts, giant spiders are the most numerous. These spiders also seem to like the sap of silkwood very much, and they often rush out of the jungle to attack the silkwood plantation of the Kingdom of Ernstinger.
In addition, part of the kingdom's forces must be allocated to defend the gap in the northeast that connects to the Land of Fear, so half of the large amount of revenue that the Kingdom of Ernstinger gets from the silk trade every year is used in these areas.
.
Moreover, the terrain here is narrow and the number of humans that can be accommodated is limited, so the population of the Kingdom of Ernstinger has always been small.
In addition, the Kingdom of Ernstinger is also facing a bigger trouble, and that is the threat from the "Spider Queen" in the Salva Forest, which has been circulated in the folklore of the Kingdom.
According to legend, there is a very huge "City of Spider Silk" deep in the Salva Forest, and the "Spider Queen" Irene, who leads the entire Salva Forest spider community, lives in it.
This huge and terrifying spider is the oldest of all the spiders in the Salva Forest. It had almost as much wisdom as humans before the invasion of hell.
After being infected with the energy and wisdom of hell, Ireni's character became more ferocious and cruel, and all those who tried to get close to the depths of the jungle would die under its fangs and claws without exception.
Moreover, the Spider Queen continues to order her giant spiders to launch attacks on the Kingdom of Ernstinger. Unlike previous attacks with the purpose of looting silk wood, these attacks based on her orders do not seem to
There is a clear purpose at all.
If anything, "killing" might be its purpose.
At the beginning, the royal family of the Kingdom of Ernstinger did not believe that the "Spider Queen" mentioned in legends and stories was real.
It wasn't until one day when Spider Queen Ireni personally led the spider army out of the jungle and launched an extremely brutal and massive attack on the city of Ernstinger that they began to face this fact.
Fortunately, although the Spider Queen was demonized by the power of hell, the degree of demonization was not deep. Therefore, it was still a creature of this world, so it did not advance to the Kingdom of Ernstinger because of the power of hell.
The army is completely unable to deal with it.
But every time the Spider Queen orders her spider swarms to attack human towns, she will take the opportunity to rob a large number of humans. The fate of these humans naturally goes without saying.
The population of the Kingdom of Ernstinger is already small, and if it continues to be attacked like this, the population of the Kingdom may begin to experience negative growth soon.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xue Hua, and the royal family of the Kingdom of Ernstinger has no intention of asking him to take action. He came here with two girls purely for passing by and shopping.
Xue Hua ordered King Chong to release them outside a town with a large market, and then took the two girls into the city to start shopping.
The market here is very lively, with not only local people coming and going, but also silk merchants from all over the port.
They buy large quantities of silk fabrics made from the sap of silk trees here, and then transport them back to their own kingdoms to make various styles of luxurious clothing and cloth products according to local customs and needs.
Of course, the ready-made clothing market here is also quite good. At least Xue Hua and his two sisters experienced the "pleasure" of going shopping with his girlfriend in his previous life...
The two excited girls visited one silk shop after another. The inventory of the three of them was basically filled with all kinds of beautiful clothes and silk decorations they bought.
Of course, the two sisters themselves had already put on beautiful and colorful silk clothes, which were also studded with various large and small gems and jade. These jewels were brought out by Xue Hua from the Goblin Treasury in the Land of Greed.
Treasures, although most of the treasures of the Goblin Kingdom fell into the endless void at that time, there were also many things in Xue Hua's inventory.
At this time, he just took it out and gave it to the two girls. Seeing their smiling faces and their charming faces full of bright smiles against the backdrop of beautiful silk fabrics, gemstones and pearls, Xue Hua suddenly felt that all fatigue was gone...
