Chapter 2915 Enchanted Bug Wax

"Ah? Really? Sister Slude, this iron giant is really powerful!"

After making a fuss, the indigenous teenagers and girls had the cheek to make an excessive request.

"Miss Slude, can you build a Husband for me as well?"

"We also want to go to the Far East to study abroad and see the world, especially to learn how to drive mechanical armor! Sister, when will it be our turn to study abroad?"

"Brother Haakon, can Shizhu Town make this kind of mechanical armor?"

"If possible, build thousands of these steel giants yourself, and you won't have to be afraid of colonists in the future!"

"If there are really thousands of mechanical armors, the colonists of Midgard are nothing. We can all consider going west! Return to Genting Highlands, expel the giants, retake Asgard, and wash away the shame of our ancestors !"

"Well said, Brother Haakon, this is the glorious mission of our generation of young people!"

"Ah? Wait a minute... If we Asa people expand westward and cross the Tusk Mountains, wouldn't that be another version of the 'Westward Colonial Movement'?"

"That's right, the steel giant is also a giant, and the colonists and giants are actually ourselves..."

"Stop talking nonsense! You know what a fart! Genting Highlands has been the territory of our Asa Protoss since ancient times, and it was forcibly occupied by the evil giants later. We return to the land where our ancestors lived. It is not called colonization, but regaining lost land. Recover the homeland!"

"That's right! That will be a great 're-conquest movement', a war to revive the glory of the Asa Protoss!"

...

Slude looked at the group of overly excited teenagers, angry and funny, and couldn't bear to say that with the current industrial capabilities of the Volsong tribe, they couldn't even make a qualified marine magic crystal steam engine, let alone represent the current The civilized world has the highest level of magic and military technology "hussars". The dreams of these brats are too unrealistic.

The prospect of the hometown and the compatriots is very bright, but the reality is very grim. Let alone expel the giants and restore the ancestral homeland, the imminent army of cults is enough for everyone to worry about.

Slude winked at his brother who was still bragging, and pulled him through the crowd to Elder Siegmund.

"Elder, we are back."

"Slude, Haakon, after one or two years, I have seen great growth from you. We are getting old, and the future of the tribe depends on you young people."

"If the heroic spirits of Logan and Ishtar saw this scene today, they would also be proud of their children."

Elder Zigmunt shook hands with the brothers and sisters vigorously, with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, children, don't say these sad words for now, come with me, Master Gray is waiting for you two brothers and sisters, and has important matters to discuss with you."

The brothers and sisters followed Elder Siegmund to the ash forest. After two years, they saw "Master Gray" surrounded by stone pillars again. They were surprised to find that the branches of this ancient tree were covered with a thick layer of white wax. As if covered with snow.

Ash tree, also known as "ash tree", is one of the host plants of ash insects. These scale insects feed on the leaves, and the males can secrete silk threads containing a lot of wax to form cocoons and attach to the branches and leaves. This is what you see white chrysalis.

Ash worms are a kind of pest to ash trees, but the wax they secrete is a widely used industrial and lighting raw material for humans, so some people will breed ash worms on ash trees to obtain natural white wax. It is like raising silkworms with mulberry trees to obtain silk.

This lucrative trade was so common in the Old World and New World colonies that it became a thriving industry, making natural insect wax the second-largest source of wax after whale oil.

In the areas where the Asa people live, most of the aborigines are supporters of the Druid belief, advocating natural harmony and animism, especially those tribes affected by the "primitive religious order", and people dare not go out for profit. If you put silkworms or white wax worms on the trees, you will be severely punished by the primitive religious order, and Shizhu Town is no exception, so Haakon and the Sluder brothers and sisters were very surprised by the sight before them.

"Master Gray, are you alright?" Haakon looked up at the ancient mythical tree with concern, "You have so many white wax worms growing on your body, why don't you ask someone to clean it up for you?"

"It stands to reason that this shouldn't happen..." Slude showed confusion, "Master Gray is not an ordinary ash tree. If you don't want to be parasitized by ash worms, you can use a spell to drive away those little pests."

"Haha~ The little girl is very clever. In fact, my old man took the initiative to invite a large group of white wax insects to build nests and cocoons on his body, in order to obtain wax."

In the middle of the trunk of the ancient tree of Irminsur, an old face appeared with a kind smile on it.

"Master Hui, does the white wax attached to your body have a special purpose?" Slude guessed.

Master Gray nodded his head lightly, noticing the waxy chrysalis shaking down the moment the canopy was shaking, he stopped immediately.

"Little girl, do you still remember that kid Joan? Not long ago, you brought him to the town as a guest. He gave me a root of the Ganthias Demon Tree. I swallowed the root and digested it. From it, I analyzed the weakness of the Ganthias Demon Tree, and managed to create a secret weapon against the Demon Tree and its derivatives, which is the white wax secreted by the bugs on my body."

Master Gray grinned triumphantly, as if waiting for praise.

"Wow! You are so smart, but unfortunately your memory is not very good. It was seven years ago that Joan came to Shizhu Town for the first time. What kind of 'not so long ago'!" Haakon resentfully complained.

"Little ghost, what do you know! Seven years or seven days, it doesn't make much difference to my old man, it's just a nap anyway."

Master Gray said angrily.

Slude prevented his elder brother from arguing with the ancient mythical tree, and asked Master Gray out of curiosity, "What is the specific purpose of the secret weapon you mentioned?"

"Oh! It's actually very simple. You cut off the branches of my body that are covered with white wax, collect them, put them in sacks, tie the mouth of the bags, and throw them into a large boiling pot to cook until the wax dissolves. The cracks in the sack seep out and float on the surface of the boiling water, which can then put out the fire in the hearth."

"You take out the sacks in the pot, and there are only some boiled branches and leaves and pupa remains in it. These useless things can be thrown away. When the water in the pot cools down, thick condensation will form on the surface of the water. a layer of pewter."

"You collect these white waxes, divide them into small pieces, and distribute them to each warrior, and let them use this magical wax block to smear swords and arrows, and it will have an effect similar to enchantment."
