Honestly, if it weren't for this rainbow...... Miss Melita came to the door on her own initiative, but Gawain was about to forget about her deal with the Mithril Vault.

He hoped that the Mithril Treasury would find a second Eternity Tablet for him.

"I hope you didn't wait too long," Melita wore a thin veil in any case, but from behind the faint veil, she could be seen smiling quite appropriately (though I don't know why it twisted for a moment every time she turned her head to look at Amber), "We must do what we do - the original owner of this tablet has violated the agreement with the Mithril Treasury, but we must wait until his repayment deadline has expired before we can dispose of this tablet ourselves." ”

As she spoke, the mysterious Mithril Treasury agent casually raised her hand - a metal plate glowing with a pale golden metallic glow had appeared in her hand at some point: "This is the 'goods' you want, you can check it." ”

She didn't seem to be worried at all that Gawain would snatch the slate down or tear up the agreement on the spot in some other way.

Of course, Gawain really didn't mean to tear up the agreement, he just solemnly took the metal fragment in Melita's hand, and couldn't help but say, "Is there not even a container to match such an important thing...... You should at least wrap it in a piece of oiled paper. ”

Melita smiled slightly: "If the luxurious container has no protective function, it is just a flashy decoration. No one can snatch anything from the high-ranking agents of the Mithril Vault, so the slate doesn't need any additional wrapping. ”

What the other party said seemed to make sense, the corners of Gawain's mouth curled for a moment, and then he lowered his head to carefully observe the metal plate in his hand.

Like the Eternal Slab he had obtained, the plate was still a palm-sized shard, though its edges were a little different from the first slab, which led him to guess that perhaps each slab shard was similar in size but with a different outline. The surface of the metal plate could see the familiar straight lines and incomprehensible patterns, and the back was inlaid with a light blue crystal of unknown material and slightly shiny, and only by sensing the fluctuations in the crystal, Gawain judged that this thing was real.

No one in the world is better at identifying the authenticity of the Eternal Slate than he is—the ripples in the spirit world are the best proof of the moment you try to resonate with the Slate.

The last time he resonated with the slate, he heard the battle report of a Zenith fleet overthrowing the gods, this time resonance, what revelation will he get?

Gawain almost couldn't resist the urge to try, but in order to avoid being seen by Melita, he still suppressed the idea of "wandering out of the world" on the spot, and calmly put the slate on the table: "I have checked it, and I can't see that it is fake." ”

"Then according to the original agreement, you should pay enough 'reward' in exchange for a tablet of eternity," Melita laughed brightly, not even a veil could hide her smile, "it can be an 'extraordinary' equivalent to an eternal tablet, or a large amount of Gondor knowledge and relics, but the regular gold and silver jewels of the world can't - those meaningless things can't compare to the eternal tablet, no amount of them." ”

At the end, Melita kindly reminded: "I'm also in charge of assessing whether the 'reward' you offer meets the requirements, and if it's not enough, then I'll still take this slate - but within ten years, we'll keep it for you until you can make a starting price." This is how you treat it as a premium customer. ”

"Don't wait ten years, I'm ready to pay," Gawain smiled slightly, and raised his hand to beckon Amber, "Go to the treasure house, over at the 'Deep Containment', and bring the 'God's Metal'." ”

Amber blinked, leaned next to Gawain's ear and whispered, "There's a lot of them over there, which one to pick?" ”

“emmmm…… Bigger, it looks like it's going to be worth a lot of money. In fact, you can just look at and hold one, which one is bigger than this eternal stone slab. ”

"Well, I'm going!"

With a few words, Amber vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.

"Wait a minute, my guards have already gone to the treasure house to pick it up," Gawain nodded to Melita, "I promise you'll be happy with that thing." ”

Melita was obviously curious about what kind of exchange Gawain had prepared, but as a high-ranking 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 her study - probably because it was inconvenient to carry heavy objects through the window, she still honestly walked in through the door. As soon as she entered the house, she put the thing she was holding in her hand "Duang" in front of Melita, and looked proud: "Come and see!" Look at the color, look at the size! Smashing it flat can replace you with a lot of stone slabs......"

Melita froze at the sight of what Amber had brought in, and when it clattered to her feet, the dignified and elegant senior agent even jumped slightly, and she looked at the large twisted and deformed piece of metal that was apparently a fragment of some kind of large device, and exclaimed, "This ...... What is this?! Where did you get that?! ”

"We don't know," Gawain said with a smile before the big-mouthed amber could speak, "we found it when the Dark Mountains were mining it, it was so hard that it couldn't be melted, it was super resistant to magical powers, and I found it to be made of something similar to the Eternal Stone Tablet - so I named it 'God's Metal', I think it's the same thing as the Eternal Stone Tablet, and maybe some kind of transcendent creation outside of human cognition......"

Gawain said it lightly, but there was a stumbling confidence between his words, and Melita looked at the huge twisted metal on the ground in disbelief, and finally bent down to pick it up.

Of course, she could tell that this thing was close to the material of the Eternal Slab...... It's even pretty much the same!

It's just that there is no strange intricate pattern on this huge twisted metal, and there is no inlaid crystal, which means that it is certainly not an eternal stone tablet - its value will probably be lower than that of an eternal stone tablet with patterns and crystals......

But it's so big!

The power it contains—the power that humans can't perceive—is real!

Melita was momentarily entangled and pondered, and clung to the piece of metal in a posture that was neither graceful nor unsteady, until Gawain's voice woke her up: "Miss Melita, I think it's time for you to make an assessment." ”

The agent lady suddenly came to her senses, she felt that she might have been shocked by the power emitted by the so-called "divine metal", which is why she behaved in such a gaffe, and then she began to seriously weigh the transaction.

Gawain took out more "trading objects" than she imagined, but the Mithril Treasury must abide by the rules set by itself - orderliness, which is the first requirement of the Mithril Treasury.

So she quickly evaluated, and quickly got the result: "It's worth it...... It meets the requirements, and it's a little bit higher. ”

"That's good." Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, although he was very confident before, but he still felt that it was a bit foolish to use such a large lump of metal scrap to exchange for an obviously high-precision eternal stone slab, although the materials of the two should be similar, but this is equivalent to exchanging a handful of sand for monocrystalline silicon, no matter how similar these two components are, the price can't be the same!

But since this agent lady has judged that the two things are very cost-effective...... Then Gawain didn't say anything.

But at the same time, he was a little curious - it was impossible for the high-ranking agent of the Mithril Treasury to be without brains, even if she didn't know the secrets of the information stored in the Eternal Tablet, she should know that the Eternal Tablet contained the secrets of the gods...... Those metal scraps are just real metal scraps, and she can't tell the difference in the potential value of the two things?

Or is it ...... Could she sense something else from that scrap of metal? Like the "Divine Shield" technology that Gondor Magisters cracked out of metal scrap or anything like that?

A lot of speculation popped up in Gawain's mind at once, but he didn't ask, but changed the subject: "Anyway, can I ask more-in fact, I'm curious about who the original owner of this eternal stone tablet you brought was......"

He was really curious about this matter: it is not easy for someone to possess an eternal stone tablet, even if it is a small fragment, it must be a prince and nobleman, so which unlucky collector will lose his treasure?

But to his surprise, Melita shook her head slightly, "Keeping the client's secret is a basic rule of the Mithril Vault. Although the client who defaulted lost the slate, TA's breach of contract was already offset after the slate was handed over, so I can't divulge any of the ta's circumstances. ”

"Well, you're pretty pretty obedient," Gawain waved his hand, "Then let me change the question, do you have more Eternal Slabs to sell?" I mean—in the future, it's possible. ”

Melita's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she looked at Gawain in surprise: "You...... Still? ”

The eternal slate is not a cabbage, even if the king and emperor can collect a piece even if life is satisfied, how can anyone dare to make a long-term order?!

She obviously didn't know how much "godmetal" Gawain had in his hands......

"I like to study theology," Gawain casually said, "and I'm a collector." ”

“…… We have seen a lot of people with collectors in the Mithril Vault, but this is really the first time I've seen ...... of your level" Melita said with a strange look in her eyes, but after a moment she nodded slightly, "You are a high-level customer, and the Mithril Vault will give priority to your needs." While there aren't any more Eternal Tablets to sell in the Mithril Treasury right now, I can keep an eye out for you - and if there is, I'll let you know as soon as possible. ”

Gawain smiled, "That couldn't be better. ”

Melita Pernia seemed to be here for the sole purpose of completing the transaction, and she was obviously very concerned about the large piece of "godmetal" she had just acquired, so she didn't stop at Gawain's lord's mansion for long, and after completing the transaction, she left here.

Soon after, in the prosperous and wealthy county of Horsmann, some distance from Cecil's domain, Melita Pernia entered a jewelry store.

She walked straight to the counter and said to the jewelry store owner, "Do you buy jewelry?" ”

The owner of the jewelry store didn't raise his eyelids: "Collect, reduce the price by 30%." ”

Melita smiled slightly, turned her hand, and put a delicate and gorgeous metal box inlaid with crystals and magic threads on the counter: "Boss, look at this, a jewelry box made of pure Mithril, which is inlaid with the finest amethyst and rubies, as well as these magic patterns, these pure gold patches......"

The "jewelry box" was not very large, and when it was opened, it seemed to fit a palm-sized object inside......
