To be honest, if it wasn't for this rainbow... this Miss Melita came to the door, in fact, Gao Wen would have almost forgotten his deal with Mithril Treasure.
He hopes that the Mithril Vault can find him a second Eternal Tablet.
"Hope you didn't have to wait too long," said Melita, who was wearing a thin veil in any event, but from behind that veil she could be seen smiling quite appropriately (although I don't know why whenever When she turned her head to look at Amber, the smile would be distorted for a moment), "We must act according to the regulations—the original owner of this stone slab violated the agreement with Mithril Treasure, but we have to wait for his repayment This stone slab can only be disposed of by itself after the time limit has expired.”
While speaking, the mysterious agent of the Mithril Treasure House raised her hand casually—a metal plate exuding a light golden metallic light had appeared in her hand before she knew it: "This is the item you want" ', you can check."
She didn't seem to be worried at all that Gao Wen would snatch the slate or use other methods to tear up the agreement on the spot.
Of course, Gao Wen did not mean to tear up the agreement, he just took the metal fragment in Melita's hand solemnly, and at the same time couldn't help but say: "Such an important thing even has a matching Don't you have any containers at all... you should at least wrap it in oiled paper."
Melita smiled slightly: "If the luxurious container has no protective function, it is just a flashy decoration. No one can snatch things from the senior agent of Mithril Treasury, so the stone slab does not need any additional packages."
What the other party said seemed to make sense, Gao Wen's mouth twitched, and then he lowered his head and carefully observed the metal plate in his hand.
Like the Eternal Slate he got before, this metal slab is still just a slap-sized fragment, but its edge shape is a little different from the first slate, which made him guess that maybe each slate fragment is similar in size but The silhouette is different. Familiar straight lines and incomprehensible patterns can be seen on the surface of the metal plate, and an unknown, slightly shiny light blue crystal is inlaid on the back. Wen judged this thing to be true.
No one in the world is better at identifying the authenticity of the Eternal Slate—the ripples in the spiritual world at the moment of trying to resonate with the Slate are the best proof of identification.
The last time he resonated with the slate, he heard a battle report of a Zentraedi star fleet defeating the gods. What enlightenment will he get this time
Gao Wen could hardly hold back the urge to try, but in order to avoid being noticed by Melita, he suppressed the idea of "flying into the sky" on the spot, and put the slate on the table calmly: "I checked I can't tell it's fake."
"Then according to the original agreement, you should pay enough 'reward' in exchange for an Eternal Slate," Melita smiled brightly, even a veil could not hide her smile, "It can be equivalent to the Eternal Slate The "extraordinary things" can also be a large amount of Gondor knowledge and relics, but the conventional gold, silver and jewelry in the world will not work—those meaningless things can't compare with the Eternal Stone Tablets no matter how much they have."
At the end, Melita kindly reminded me: "I am also responsible for evaluating whether the 'remuneration' you provided meets the requirements. If it is not enough, then I will take this slate—but within ten years, We'll keep it for you until you can afford the starting price. That's what you get as a premium customer."
"You don't have to wait ten years, I'm ready for the reward," Gao Wen smiled slightly, and raised his hand to greet Amber, "Go to the treasury, the 'Deep Asylum', and bring the 'God's Metal'."
Amber blinked, and whispered next to Gao Wen's ear: "There are a lot of them over there, which one to choose?"
"Emmmm... a bigger one, it looks like it will be very valuable. In fact, you can just hold one if you look at it, and any one is bigger than this eternal slate."
"Okay, I'm going now!"
After saying a word, Amber disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
"Please wait a moment, my personal guards have already gone to pick up the goods from the treasury," Gawain nodded to Melita, "I promise you will be satisfied with the things."
Melita was obviously curious about what kind of exchange Gawain had prepared, but as a senior agent of the Mithril Treasury, she controlled her emotions well, and just nodded lightly and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
It didn't take long for Amber to return to the study—probably because it was inconvenient to carry heavy objects through the window, she still walked in through the door honestly. As soon as she entered the room, she put the thing she was holding in her hand in front of Melita with a "duang" sound, and said proudly: "Come and see! Look at the color and size! If you smash it, you can get a lot of it Slate…”
Melita was stunned when she saw the thing that Amber brought in, and when the thing slammed under her feet, the dignified and elegant senior agent even jumped up a little. She stared dumbfounded at the big piece The twisted and deformed metal object, which was obviously a broken piece of some kind of large-scale device, exclaimed: "This... what is this thing?! Where did you get it?!"
"We don't know either," Gawain said with a smile before the big-mouthed Amber opened his mouth. "We discovered it when the Dark Mountains exploded and mined. It is extremely hard and cannot be smelted, and it has super high resistance to magic power I also found that its material is somewhat similar to the Eternal Slate—so I named it 'God's Metal'. I think this thing is the same as the Eternal Slate, and it may also be some kind of extraordinary creation beyond human cognition... "
Gao Wen's words were understated, but he spoke with a sense of self-confidence, while Melita looked at the huge twisted piece of metal on the ground in amazement, and finally bent down to hug it.
Of course she could tell that the material of this thing was close to that of the Eternal Slate... even almost the same!
It's just that there are no strange and complicated lines on this huge twisted metal, and no inlaid crystals can be seen, which means that it is definitely not an eternal stone slab—its value will probably be lower than the eternal stone slab with lines and crystals...
But it's big!
The power it contains—the kind of power that humans cannot perceive, is also real!
Melita fell into entanglement and thinking for a while, hugging the piece of metal in an inelegant and unsteady posture, and then froze until Gawain's voice woke her up: "Miss Melita, I miss you It's time for an assessment."
Only then did the agent wake up suddenly, she felt that she might have been intimidated by the power emanating from the so-called "divine metal", that's why she behaved so badly, and then she began to seriously weigh the transaction.
The "trade item" that Gao Wen took out was beyond her imagination, but the Mithril Treasury must abide by the rules she made—orderly, which is the first requirement of the Mithril Treasury.
So she assessed quickly, and got the result quickly: "Its value... meets the requirements, and it's a little bit higher."
"That's good." Gawain heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was very confident before, he still felt that exchanging such a large pile of metal scraps for an obviously high-quality eternal stone slab was a bit deceitful. Although the materials of the two should be similar, this is equivalent to exchanging a handful of sand for monocrystalline silicon. No matter how similar the two ingredients are, the price cannot be the same!
But since the agent judged that the exchange of the two items was a good deal... then Gao Wen didn't say anything.
But at the same time, he was a little curious—the senior agent of the Mithril Treasury could not be brainless, even if she didn't know the mysteries of the materials stored in the Eternal Slate, she should know that the Eternal Slate contained the secrets of the gods... Those metal scraps It's just real scrap metal, so she can't judge the difference in potential value between the two things
Or... was she feeling something else from that scrap metal? For example, the "divine shield" technology or similar things that the Gondor magisters cracked from metal scraps back then
A lot of guesses came to Gao Wen's mind, but he didn't ask, but changed the subject: "By the way, can I ask one more question—Actually, I'm quite curious about who the original owner of the Eternal Slate you brought of… "
He is really curious about this matter: it is not easy to own a piece of eternal stone, even if it is a small fragment, it must be a prince, aristocrat, wealthy businessman, and businessman, so which unlucky collector will lose his treasure?
But as he expected, Melita shook her head slightly: "Keeping the secrets of customers is the basic rule of Mithril Treasury. Although the customer who broke the contract lost the slate, his breach of contract has already handed over The slate was then canceled so I can't reveal anything about him."
"Well, you guys really follow the rules," Gawain waved his hands, "Then let me change the question, do you have more Eternal Slabs that you can sell? I mean - it is possible to sell them in the future."
Melita couldn't help but widen her eyes, and looked at Gao Wen in surprise: "You... want more?"
The Eternal Slate is not a Chinese cabbage. Even a king and emperor can collect one piece of life to be satisfied. How can anyone dare to place a long-term order? !
She obviously didn't know how much "God Metal" Gao Wen had in his hand...
"I like to study theology," Gao Wen casually made up a reason, "and I have a collection habit."
"... We have seen many collectors in Mithril Treasure, but this is the first time we have seen one of your level..." Melita said with strange eyes, but nodded slightly after a while, "You are a senior customer , Mithril Treasure Vault will give priority to meeting your needs. Although Mithril Treasure Vault has no more eternal stone slabs for sale, I can keep an eye out for you—if there is, I will notify you as soon as possible.”
Gao Wen smiled: "That would be great."
The sole purpose of Melita Purnia's coming here seems to be to complete this transaction, and she is obviously very concerned about the large piece of "God's Metal" she just bought, so she didn't do much in Gawain's Lord's Mansion After staying, after completing the transaction, she left here.
Not long after, Melita Pernia walked into a jewelry store in the prosperous and wealthy Earl of Hossman, which was quite a distance from Cecil Territory.
She went straight to the counter and said to the owner of the jewelry store, "Do you buy jewelry?"
The owner of the jewelry store didn't even raise his eyelids: "Yes, the price is reduced by 30%."
Melita smiled slightly, flipped her hands, and put a beautiful and gorgeous metal box inlaid with crystals and magic threads on the counter: "Boss, take a look at this, a jewelry box made of pure mithril, inlaid with The most precious amethyst and ruby, and these magic patterns, these fine gold patches... "
The "jewelry box" is not very big. After opening it, it seems that a palm-sized object can be placed inside it...
