Carrying the sea chart, I flew over islands of various sizes and passed through the blue sea.

Helfas returned to the mainland.

The first country he arrived in was called Ztic, which means the country of cast iron.

The country of Ztyk can be considered a powerful country on the eastern coast. It has several cities, a very vast area, and a high degree of civilization. The population of Helfas is roughly estimated to be more than 200,000.

According to legend, their ancestors were blacksmith officials in the Black Iron City, which should not be false, because their flag and royal emblem are clearly a tree burning with flames.

When docking.

Helfas looked at the flag on the port on the boat and felt that the tree on the flag looked familiar.

But in his eyes, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like an insect with teeth and claws.

"Bipolar demon insect?"

However, when he was in the city, when Helfas asked about his mask in the past, everyone said that the legendary Biphasic Demonic Insect Face had been lost long ago.

At least after the Bronze Age, that mask was never heard of again.

Helfas guessed that perhaps because no one remembered its real name, it had long since transformed back into a strange form, and was now returning to its former free and unrestrained life somewhere?

Therefore, when walking on the road, Herfas would occasionally look into the distance, wondering if he would encounter it by chance.

pity.

Didn't come across it.

However, although the Biphasic Demonic Insect Face is gone, the black iron casting skills have not been lost, but have been passed down from generation to generation from the black iron and bronze ages.

It is said that a certain black iron dragon in the Bronze Age told blacksmiths the secret of black iron, and shared the composition ratio and casting method of this alloy with ordinary people. Subsequently, the blacksmiths improved the iron casting process, and at the same time, with the help of other

The strangely high temperatures released by it smelt and cast black iron.

For example, the country of Ztic is able to produce very excellent black iron artifacts and is famous for this.

The Guards Corps controlled by the royal family is equipped with a large number of black iron weapons.

Go deep into the mainland.

This is still not the land of the full moon, and is still some distance away from the realm he is familiar with.

Helfas went all the way to the Blacksmith City, the capital of the Ztic Kingdom, to see what this prosperous city was like in other people's mouths.

Along the way, he gave up flying and calmed down to see the world nearly nine hundred years in the future.

Most of the road is still covered with forests, but compared with the world before, it is completely different.

Helfasco still remembered that he walked on the earth for several months without seeing a single person. There was nothing but loneliness and danger.

At least there are roads here, and there are still traces of people and cars on the roads.

On the way he occasionally encountered some strange things going on.

However, those very dangerous and extremely powerful monsters were not encountered. They should have been expelled from this area or sealed.

Although he just walked by, it doesn't mean he understands everything.

But at least this means that those dangerous weirdos are not very dense in this area.

Every time you walk a certain distance, you will encounter a village, and its iconic features are also obvious.

It's bread and butter farmland.

It can be recognized at a glance, just like Helfas's black hair.

Helfas has roughly figured out the names and divisions of the areas under rule in various countries today. Countries that no longer use tribes as the main unit to call themselves civilized even regard tribes as symbols of barbarism, although they are from tribes.

Come in.

Of course, the existence of tribes has not disappeared, but it is no longer the mainstream in the land of the full moon and within the radiation range of its civilization.

The existence of villages gradually replaced them.

Just as anything with oily farmland can be called a village, anything with a bronze statue of the Dragon King can naturally be called a city.

Every time Helfas goes near a village, he will carefully observe and size up the life in the village.

What you see.

Most of the village houses in Ztic Country are made of wood.

This is different from the situation in the Kingdom of Basel. The buildings there are all made of earth and stone, and the styles and shapes are completely different.

Of course, the houses of the villagers are not good. Most of the houses are simply surrounded by wooden piles, covered with branches, and surrounded by a fenced yard outside.

Helfas recalled what he saw on Basel Island and felt that the two were like two civilizations.

"Why is this so?"

"They all came here together from the Land of the Full Moon. They were separated less than two hundred years ago. Is there such a big difference in the architecture and style between the two?"

He looked around, and what he saw was a jungle stretching from sky to sky.

He seemed to have found the reason.

Because the wood resources here are extremely abundant and easy to obtain.

There is a shortage of resources on the island of Bassat, and wood is relatively precious, so it chose buildings with earth and stone structures, which are also more durable.

"Civilization has changed this land, and at the same time it has been changed by the environment on the earth."

This discovery made Helfas very interesting, and he became more interested in observing everything around him.

Everywhere he went, he saw something different and discovered something different from before, which made him feel happy.

While walking, Helfas came to a special place.

It was a gathering place without city walls but with the number of people reaching the limit of a thousand, and it looked very prosperous and lively. Even the buildings had become more refined and taller, and the atmosphere was even more civilized.

"Weaving Town."

In addition to the city and the village, another unit gradually emerged between the two.

It's called a town.

The division of towns is somewhat different from that of villages. They also have farmland, and they are usually plural.

It was the scene that Helfas saw now, with vast areas of farmland connected together, completely surrounding the town.

But other than that.

It generally holds sealed items that can be used in workshops to produce a variety of products.

For a country, the number of towns is generally not too many, and they are extremely important.

At the same time, they are also the predecessors of a city.

Helfas watched several peakback dragon beasts pulling wooden carts leave the town. The crowded and narrow path could not allow the two to go parallel.

He got out of the way and stood on the roadside waiting for a long time.

He saw that the goods loaded on the frame should be cloth, but the texture looked soft and delicate, and the patterns on it were bright and colorful, completely different from what ordinary people wore.

Later.

He just entered the weaving town.

After some inquiring, Helfas finally found out what kind of sealed artifact this town had besides the oil-bread farmer's hat.

"Silar weavers?"

"These cloths are spit out by those insects, so that's it."

Helfas was even more surprised when he heard about the ability of this insect.

"What they eat is sand, and what they spit out is silk for weaving?"

"No wonder your town is so prosperous. Doesn't this mean that you can continuously turn sand into wealth?"

In a sense, this can be called the Midas touch, a worm that can eat sand and spit out threads of cloth.

The textile history of the Dragon people can be traced back thousands of years.

Before Helfas came to this land, the dragon people had already bred velvet dragons to collect their hair for weaving, and the weaving tribe of the past had been passed down for countless years.

And after Helfas appeared in the land of the full moon and brought the sealed artifact to this world.

There are two more main ways to make cloth, and their importance even vaguely exceeds the ancient breeding of velvet dragons and textile technology.

One type of Helfas has been seen on the island of Basel. They will plant a strange plant similar to the bread tree, called the cocoon tree. The witchers on the island control it through a sealed object that is somewhat similar to a coir raincoat.

it.

Cocoons will form on the trees, and the cocoons can be harvested and woven into cloth. However, this tree must undergo a mysterious grafting method to successfully plant and successfully form cocoons. This method is a secret that is not passed down on the island.

The resulting fabric was rough and not very warm.

However, the yield of cocoon trees is very high and very stable.

For Basel Island, which is particularly short of land resources, this method is very suitable for them.

The seals in Zhibu Town are made from a weird seal called Silkworm. This weird ancientness can even be traced back to the previous era. No one expected that they still exist today.
