CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 110: EXOTIC ARMOR AND AUDREY’S RESCUE
Land murmured.
Let’s not talk about star realm meteorite for now, because it’s extremely rare with significant collection value, even some ordinary ones are priced very high, definitely not suitable as materials for exotic armor.
And what about Gold Essence? The price per pound of this stuff has even surpassed fifty Gold Talers.
As for Mountain Copper, the price is also about forty-five Gold Talers per pound.
If I need these materials for the exotic armor, how many Gold Talers would I have to spend?
Land suddenly felt a bit afraid to continue thinking about it, even if he invested his entire fortune, it would still be far from enough.
Of course, the crucial point is that these are all rare metals, mixed in other ores, such as Gold Essence, which is said to be associated with some copper ores.
Excavating a hundred pounds of copper might yield only one pound of Gold Essence.
The same goes for Mountain Copper.
What about Vajra White Stone? If I remember correctly, it’s about two Gold Talers per pound!
After all, besides its hardness, it doesn’t have any special characteristics.
Blacksmiths even find it troublesome to forge armor!
Even if great effort is spent to make it, it won’t be much use against a Caster!
Oh right! There’s also the fact that Vajra White Stone is heavier than ordinary metals! This makes it difficult for it to gain a foothold in the armor market.
It’s poor magic-guiding nature when paired with magic patterns means it’s equally hard to use for weapon-making! Not sharp enough.
Currently, their main use is to make some jewelry.
A long time ago, there was a group of unscrupulous merchants who made a big deal out of Vajra White Stone.
Because of its solid nature and its difficult-to-destroy properties, there were a lot of promotional slogans, like how Vajra White Stone lasts forever, passing down for eternity.
If you love her, give her the hardest Vajra White Stone, to prove your heart.
Two people truly in love, the most sincere love, is like Vajra White Stone, hard to destroy.
This forced these not-so-precious stones into becoming a significant luxury item.
According to the Dragon’s Legacy, it was said that in the beginning, the price of a pound of Vajra White Stone even surpassed Mountain Copper, Gold Essence, and Mithril, reaching over a hundred Gold Talers!
However, as time passed, more and more people became rational, and as more Vajra White Stone was unearthed, the price began to drop continuously.
The key point is, its rarity is far less than Mountain Copper and Gold Essence.
But no matter how much it drops, two Gold Talers per pound is still quite high for Land! It still remains overpriced in the whole market.
If using Vajra White Stone as a fusion material.
Then, would he need its magic-guiding nature? Anti-magic power?
No need! Absolutely no need! He just needs its hardness.
His own dragon scales have extremely strong anti-magic power and flexibility, and if they were combined with the famously solid Vajra White Stone, it might yield unexpected results.
Land was somewhat tempted.
But if he were to use all Vajra White Stone to merge the exotic armor with himself.
How many pounds of Vajra White Stone would he need?
Ten thousand? Probably more than that, at least twenty to thirty thousand, and how much would that cost? Forty thousand to sixty thousand?
After the battle with the Krypton Gold Paladin, Land consumed quite a bit, and if he doesn’t sell the spoils, he might not even be able to afford it.
But... does he need to spend money to buy it?
Of course not! Who is being underestimated here! He is an Evil Dragon!
"Do you guys know where in the Laine Kingdom there are mines of Vajra White Stone?" Land suddenly asked.
"I know this, near Count Sande’s territory, there’s an extinct volcano where Vajra White Stone is mined, discovered eighteen years ago.
It’s said that the Sande family, which initially only held the Viscount title, was promoted to Count due to this Vajra White Stone mine, enhancing their foundation."
A blacksmith said, flaunting his knowledge, looking a bit excited, but the next moment, he looked a little surprised at the giant dragon beside him:
"What... What are you asking for?"
"Obviously running low on ores!"
Land grinned maliciously.
"You mean to rob it?"
"Do you idiots think I would go buy it?" Land cursed.
Anyway, since he had torn faces with the Laine Kingdom, might as well go all out!
"This..."
The blacksmiths were shocked, but soon relaxed, after all, in front of them was a Great Demon Dragon! The one who defeated Count Dorne and occupied the entire city!
Count Sande! This Demon Dragon wants to seize your mines, but it’s none of our business! We’re just a few small, pitiful, helpless blacksmiths.
They silently prayed.
Land decided that once his injuries healed, the first thing to do would be to seize the mine!
Afterward, he stayed obediently in his territory, learning newly acquired magic and recovering from his injuries, estimating it would take about ten days.
And during these ten days, due to Land’s existence, the whole world began to stir with undercurrents.
.............
In a luxurious villa thousands of miles away.
In the Central Continent.
Reception room.
The ceiling hung with dazzling magical chandeliers.
Inside, pieces of animal hides covered the floor, and beautiful oil paintings adorned the walls.
Three young elves with pointed ears sat facing each other.
One was blond, the other two were silver-haired.
This blond one was, of course, Brass Dragon Audrey, whom Silver Dragon Amir always thought about!
And seated across from her were the two silver-haired elves who resembled Amir, none other than Silver Dragon Amir’s parents!
