Porter immediately went out to make arrangements. Li Huailin continued to wait for a while. Another of his subordinates, the president of the Serlot Chamber of Commerce, Intte, had also arrived. Yes, it was that goblin, an old man who had sought refuge with Li Huailin when he was still a Duke. Now, it was said that the Serlot Chamber of Commerce had developed very well under Li Huailin's influence, especially in the southern part of the continent. The Serlot Chamber of Commerce was even more powerful than the Dean Chamber of Commerce. Although both sides were subordinates of Li Huailin, they were still competitors.
Of course, Li Huailin also assigned a task to Intte. Similar to Porter's task, Intte was to collect forging materials from all over the place. Intte accepted the task very simply. It seemed that Intte had also accumulated a lot of rare materials and was reselling them. He had probably made a lot of money this time.
However, when Li Huailin gave the second order, which was to look for Vibranium, a strange expression appeared on Ainte's face. He thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, you said that Pollitt can obtain Vibranium?"
"Yes, he said so himself." Li Huailin spread out his hands.
"That's impossible, vibranium..." Before Intte could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door. Li Huailin directly let the person in. As expected, the person who came back was Porter.
"Your Majesty, I got it." As soon as Porter returned, he directly presented the thing in his hand to Li Huailin.
Li Huailin took a look at the thing that was handed to him. It was a rectangular box that looked shiny on the outside and was inlaid with many gems. The whole box probably cost a lot of money. Of course, Li Huailin did not care about what the box looked like. He directly opened the box, and Li Huailin saw a delicate dagger placed in the middle of the box.
This dagger looked very exquisite. It wasn't very big, so it probably wasn't used by men. It should be a dagger for women to protect themselves. The size of the hilt also showed this, because it was really too small for men to hold, so it wasn't very suitable. There weren't any extra decorations on the dagger, such as orbs. It was a very clean metal dagger with a very modern design. To be honest, Li Huailin felt that it was pretty good, but the problem was …
"Pfft …" Ainte couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this thing.
"Polit, I want vibranium." Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is a dagger made of vibranium." Pollitt immediately said, "It wasn't easy for me to buy this. Although it's a little small, it can cut through iron like mud …"
"But the problem is, how do you want me to forge this thing?" Li Huailin couldn't help but interrupt. Yes, Li Huailin finally understood. He had indeed said that he wanted vibranium, and Pollitt had indeed brought it over. However, the problem was that he hadn't figured out that what he wanted was raw materials, so he had brought the finished product over. Vibranium was really a little different from other metals because it could only be shaped once. Once it was shaped, it couldn't be changed. It was unlike other metals that could be remolded or something. This was a huge scam.
"Huh?" Polit was also stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood. "Uh … Your Majesty, you want raw materials for vibranium?"
"Nonsense. Didn't I discuss the problem of forging raw materials with you before? No matter how I think about it, it's impossible for me to get the finished product, okay? " Li Huailin couldn't help but say. He thought that this matter could be settled easily. Wasn't this making him happy for nothing?
"Huh? But Your Majesty, vibranium raw ore has never been circulated on the main road, "Polit said after some thought.
"Huh? Never circulated? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I've never heard of anyone selling raw materials for vibranium," Polit said. "So I thought that the vibranium Your Majesty was talking about was the finished product …"
"Yes, Your Majesty." At the side, Intel had seen enough of the commotion. He interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, it's true that no raw materials for vibranium have been circulated on the mainland. Even the finished product is very rare. The dagger in Your Majesty's hand is estimated to be worth tens of millions of gold coins. "
"F * ck, this thing costs tens of millions of gold coins?" Li Huailin was also stunned. "This thing doesn't have any forging value. It looks like an ornament."
He looked at the attributes of the dagger in his hand curiously, and the results were a little disappointing.
Paper Cutter (Gold): Dagger, One-handed Weapon, Attack Speed is extremely fast. Physical Attack 220-260, Strength + 5, Agility + 30. Attacks ignore 75% of Physical Defense. Level Requirement: 25. Class: Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Druid, Mage, Warlock.
It was fine if it was just a Gold-level dagger, but it had such a lowly name like Paper Cutter. Moreover, it was only a piece of Level 25 equipment. The only attribute that showed that it was vibranium was probably only 75 Armor Penetration. Li Huailin felt that this thing was completely broken from forging. It really had no practical value. It just looked good.
"The rarer something is, the more valuable it is …" Intel did not explain anything and directly said this famous saying.
"Alright, alright." Li Huailin nodded to show that he understood. However, this thing was completely useless to him. After some thought, he directly closed the box and threw it to Polit, indicating that he was useless. "I think …"
"Ah!" Just as Li Huailin was about to ask if the two had any information about vibranium raw materials, he was suddenly interrupted by Polit's ghostly scream. Li Huailin looked up and saw that Polit was already lying directly on the ground. Li Huailin was still wondering if Polit was suddenly affected by deep-well ice. In the end, he saw that the dagger in the box that he had just thrown out had actually penetrated the metal box and directly stabbed into the ground. If Polit had not dodged just now, he would have really been injured by the dagger.
"Damn, this thing is so sharp?" Li Huailin took the dagger in his hand and looked at it again. Sure enough, there was basically nothing that it could not cut through, whether it was sturdy wood or metal. In any case, as long as a little force was applied, it basically could basically cut through. The degree of sharpness also surprised Li Huailin a little.
"Your Majesty, you scared me to death." Polit also stood up a little awkwardly. "Vibranium is currently the hardest metal on the market, so it is very difficult for ordinary boxes to store vibranium that is forged into knives, unless you use a box made of vibranium. However, no one would waste it to such an extent. Your Majesty, it was too dangerous for you to throw it here just now. "
"Alright, alright. No matter how sharp it is, it's just a small knife." Li Huailin put the dagger back into the box again and placed it on the table. "What I need now are raw materials. You said that vibranium raw materials are not circulated on the market?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Vibranium raw materials are actually not commodities because they can't be bought or sold at all. That's why I misunderstood before," Polit explained.
"Then do you have any information about vibranium raw materials?" Li Huailin immediately asked. "Since there are finished products flowing to us, it means that someone is selling them, right? In that case, who is the seller? Or some other force? Can you find out about this? "
"This …" The two of them looked at each other. "Your Majesty, we might be able to find out about this, but the problem is that we didn't pay attention to it before."
"Didn't pay attention? Isn't this something very valuable? Why didn't you pay attention to it? "Li Huailin asked, a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, although this thing is valuable, I still have to say that the quantity is too small. It appears about once every ten years, and basically no one auctions it. It's just that we occasionally come across something like this and sell it out of curiosity. It doesn't have any commercial value …" Polit replied.
Yes, Li Huailin did not know much about business. He thought that as long as it was valuable, they would definitely pay attention to it. However, in reality, vibranium was a very small quantity, and its commercial value was also very small. The people who really paid attention to it were some collectors, rich people, and the like. Why would merchants care about this kind of thing?
"Well … I see." Li Huailin thought about it and nodded. "Then do you know anyone who especially likes to collect this?"
"Collect this?" The two of them looked at each other again and then shook their heads. "Your Majesty, we really don't know about this."
"Damn it, what's the use of you?" Li Huailin could not help but say, "Okay, okay, you two are responsible for collecting other forging materials, and then help me find out about vibranium. If you know who is selling it or the location of the source, report back immediately. Understood?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of them nodded immediately and left quickly. Of course, the vibranium dagger was left behind. Li Huailin did not return it to Polit, and of course, Polit did not dare to take it away from Li Huailin.
"Damn it, I still need to rely on Ceci at critical moments." Of course, it was too passive to wait here for news directly. He had already said that he would find the raw materials of vibranium within three days. If he could not find them, it would be really troublesome. Therefore, after instructing the two of them, Li Huailin had to take the initiative to look for other clues. Of course, there was no information at the moment, so he could only ask Ceci.
Therefore, Li Huailin quickly went to Ceci to ask him how much he knew about vibranium. In the end, he did not expect that Ceci did not know anything about vibranium this time.
"I've only heard of the name vibranium. I really don't know much about it." Ceci shook his head and said.
"Damn, even you don't know about it. This vibranium is really too mysterious." Li Huailin could not help but sigh.
"So, what do you think I am?" Ceci asked unhappily.
"Encyclopedia … Uh … Definitely my wife." Li Huailin quickly stopped talking and changed the topic. "But what should we do now …"
