"Mist grass!" When he saw the dwarf king Eitri, Tony couldn't help but cursed.
Dwarf Dwarf, as you can tell from the name, is a short person. Dwarves are indeed as described in many fantasy novels. They are short in stature, up to one and a half meters tall, but extremely strong and look like wine barrels.
But the dwarf king Yitri in front of him has nothing to do with Dwarf.
In other words, this guy is ridiculously tall!
At least more than five meters!
But the first time you look at him, you will definitely admit that he is definitely a dwarf. Because except for his height, his features are exactly the same as those of the dwarves. He is an enlarged version of the dwarves. Dwarf King Eitri met Tony and his party at a huge forging platform.
The huge dwarf took out the red-hot metal from the stove with his bare hands and placed it on the anvil.
boom!
boom!
boom!
His hands were like iron pliers, holding the metal, while the other hand clenched his fist and punched it!
When the red color on the metal began to fade, he returned the metal to the stove with his bare hands.
"Earthling?"
Dwarf King Eitri lowered his head with some difficulty. Due to his body structure, it was difficult for the dwarf to bend down.
"Yes, respected dwarf king." Strange said quickly.
It must be said that the dwarf king in front of them put a lot of pressure on them. I saw this huge dwarf, with his upper body naked, and his beard and hair were very long, but they were well taken care of, braided, and decorated with various glittering ornaments.
The most unforgettable thing is actually his eyes.
His eyes were constantly glowing with fiery red light, looking like a blazing furnace.
Strange's politeness did not arouse the dwarf king's interest, but his eyes were fixed on Tony.
"It seems that the mustache didn't lie. You do have vibranium!"
After saying that, the dwarf king immediately grabbed Tony!
Tony struggled immediately, but in the next second, he was completely separated from the mecha.
"you!"
When the Dwarf King caught the mecha, he easily cracked the mecha's system and took over the mecha.
"Hmm... the metal ratio is terrible, but it is indeed vibranium. It's so wasteful, so wasteful! Well, the technology on it... is also a mess."
Tony almost lost his breath. He wanted to say that you, a group of dwarf mules living in the middle world, are worthy of saying that my mecha technology is a mess. But immediately he thought... Fake, the technological level of these dwarf mules is not bad. , on the contrary, it is very developed, but the path it takes is completely different from that of human technology.
"Boy, let's make a deal."
Dwarf King Eitri said to Tony.
"What kind of deal?" Tony asked curiously.
"I'll help you reforge your armor, and you bring me vibranium!" Dwarf King Yitri said.
Tony realized at this moment that they came here just for vibranium: "Is vibranium important to you?"
But Tony is still a little uncomfortable with the other person's speaking rhythm. Are you all so simple and rough in doing business?
In fact, it is true that dwarf products are very popular, but dwarves are not very popular. The way they do business is different from others. They set prices and then do not allow counter-offering. Yes, he will sell as much as he says.
If you like to buy, buy, but if you don’t, go away!
And they hate cheating. Their goods are genuine. If you dare to find anything wrong in the transaction, then you will never want to trade with any dwarf in the future.
"Important! In other words, for any race, vibranium is a scarce resource." Dwarf King Yitri did not hide it: "You completely don't understand the scarcity of vibranium in the universe. It is still in its current position in the universe. It is the only substance in the world that cannot be synthesized using technical means.”
When Tony heard this, he felt excited.
What is the most profitable thing in the world?
Of course, selling resources is the most profitable, and the scarcer and more exclusive the resources, the more profitable it is!
What's this?
This is the advantage of the earth!
Then Tony discovered something that he had no control over.
First of all, vibranium is a resource unique to Wakanda and is not available in other countries. Secondly, even Wakanda cannot have exclusive operations on vibranium. After Wakanda’s national door was pried open, China and Russia were the only designated sellers of vibranium.
The vibranium exported by Wakanda is controlled by these two countries, and Wakanda cannot even decide how much vibranium it mines. It needs to be discussed with these two countries.
Tony Stark is indeed a big figure on Earth, but the problem is why the other two big countries should give him face. Even in the United States, when it comes to national interests, his words may not be effective, let alone Not to mention, what about the two big countries that the Stark Group is completely impenetrable?
"Well, personally, I'd be happy to make a deal with you. But actually I can't make the decision. It's the property of all mankind. But if you want a small amount of vibranium... I can get it for you. arrive."
Vibranium is very precious. Even today when vibranium has been made public, the value of vibranium still makes many countries feel pain. Tony Stark has some connection with the King of Wakanda, and if he really wants to do it, it's not impossible.
It's just a bit expensive.
But thinking of the promise of Dwarf King Yitri, Tony decided to bleed.
"Hmm..." Dwarf King Yitri's interest was greatly reduced. Of course, the business he wanted to do was not a small business, but a large-scale transaction. But he still asked casually: "How much can you give me?"
Tony was a little unsure.
The dwarf king Eitri lost interest again and became careless.
Thinking of this, he glared at the unreliable mustache.
Grim felt very wronged. Is it his fault? He had just talked about vibranium, but the dwarf king Eitri asked him to bring someone here...
Can you blame him?
Does he dare to disobey?
"How many do you want?"
In fact, the dwarf king has lost interest by now and is ready to send him away casually.
So he said casually.
"I can help you reforge your mecha with Uru metal, but the price will be equal weight of vibranium!"
As a result, Tony said very simply: "Deal!"
As a result, the dwarf king was immediately stunned.
In fact, for this transaction, neither of them understands the chips held by the other party.
Uru metal and forging technology are of course nothing to the dwarf king. After all, only Star Ring can manufacture Uru metal and buy and sell it exclusively. This thing is completely different concepts to outsiders and the dwarf king himself.
If outsiders want to get Uru metal, they will naturally have to endure the exploitation of the dwarf king. Uru metal is indeed useful, and other people feel it is worth paying the price, so the value of Uru metal is determined. It's completely a seller's market.
As for the Dwarf King's technology...there is no cost problem for this thing at all.
As for Tony, he knew vibranium was precious. But don't forget, he has a relationship with the king of Wakanda, and at the same time gritting his teeth, he can also ask Kai to help. It's totally possible to get it for some money.
His mecha isn't too heavy either. Just a few dozen kilograms.
But to other races in the universe, vibranium is another price.
The metal vibranium is not only hard, but also has its unique energy-absorbing properties. This is the best material for many top artifacts and top equipment parts. Many races are willing to pay unimaginable costs to obtain this special metal.
But for Wakanda, they have a whole vein of minerals! The specific reserves... are unknown!
Over the years, Wakanda has mined and stored ten thousand tons of vibranium! Taking out dozens of kilograms is nothing.
But to other races in the universe, even one gram of vibranium is a sky-high price!
"Are you sure you can take out that much vibranium?" the dwarf king said with his eyes widened.
"Well... I really can't take it out right away. I need a little time." Tony said honestly.
so far so good. The dwarf king breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the vibranium on the earth was not enough to be seen everywhere.
"Can you support installment payment?"
"What is the installment?" The dwarf king was confused.
They always do business in a one-shot deal. If you don’t have money, just buy a chicken!
What is installment payment? Never had.
"That's right, I can't pay it all in one lump sum. I can pay it in stages." Tony also has a thief, that is, he didn't mention the interest.
Like a poor man...
But it’s not his fault. He can take out so much vibranium money at once, but it will definitely affect the operation of the entire Stark Group. Maybe the company’s vitality will be seriously damaged, causing the stock price to plummet. That's when things get complicated.
Although Tony acted like he didn't care about the company...how could he not care.
The reason why he is as dashing as he is now is largely due to the Stark Group!
Without the Stark Group, he would not dare to be so willful.
But if you pay in installments, the pressure will be much less.
"Well..." the dwarf king hesitated a little, because the dwarves have never had such a tradition. 'Buy if you have money, get out if you don't have money' has always been their creed: "Well... we have never been exposed to such a method before, and , how do you guarantee that you will fulfill your agreement?"
"This... maybe let Asgard guarantee it?" Tony felt that if he used the dragon bone extract as collateral, Asgard would guarantee it.
"Asgard...yes!"
If Asgard is willing to come forward, the Dwarf King will have no problem.
After all, Asgardians basically do business the same way as dwarves. Although they don't do much business at all, they never bargain when buying dwarven things.
And the dwarves have always been Asgard's vassals and have complete trust in their credibility.
"Then I need to contact Asgard. Thor or Odin will do!" Tony said.
"Odin has fallen into a deep sleep now. Thor should go to war now. I can't contact them, but I can contact Queen Frigga."
"Frigga? Of course, or that would be the best." Tony immediately beamed when he heard Frigga's name.
That old guy Odin is too serious, and Thor is a fool.
Frigga was the most talkative.
Soon the dwarf king Eitri contacted Frigga.
An image of Frigga soon appeared. At this time, Frigga was looking exhausted, sitting on Odin's throne with the Eternal Spear.
The dwarf king quickly explained his purpose.
"Tony Stark, son of Howard Stark? Why are you in Needaville?"
Tony: "This was a wonderful misunderstanding... Anyway, for some reasons, we entered Nidaville by mistake, but the result was not bad, and the dwarves were also very enthusiastic."
Frigga nodded: "I probably understand."
Frigga already knew the news about Hela's appearance, which also explained why the Nine Realms suddenly encountered such a big crisis. Hela... Frigga had almost forgotten the name. If she hadn't heard about it suddenly, she I thought Thor was the eldest son.
However, due to Hela's messing around, the passage between the nine realms has become unstable. It is not surprising that she has this ability.
"As for the guarantee for you, I agree." Frigga said nothing about the guarantee. After all, Tony said that once he breached the contract, he would use the dragon bones to compensate Asgard.
For Frigga, Odin's health was more important than anything else.
She wished Tony would break the contract.
"That's great!"
"In addition... Your Majesty the Queen, I have a small request."
Tony continued.
Frigga looked at Tony and immediately understood what their request was: "Return to Earth, right? It's absolutely no problem. However, for now, the Rainbow Bridge has entered a state of military management due to the war, so you probably need to temporarily Stay in Asgard for a while and I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
"That's great!"
Tony could completely understand Frigga's difficulties.
After all, the state of military management is no joke. It means that all affairs and all resources must be given priority to serve the war. Asgard does not need to save the earth, so there is no plan for a rainbow bridge to reach the earth. Tony does not think so. The three of them can make Asgard change his planned plan, and that will affect the whole body.
It is impossible to open the back door casually.
So he has no problem being stranded in Asgard.
After that, it was about the Dwarf King and Tony.
"How long do you think you can pay off all the vibranium?" the dwarf king asked Tony.
Tony made a tentative gesture of three, and was about to say three years.
"Thirty years?!" The Dwarf King frowned.
Tony's mouth opened slightly, just about to correct it.
"It's not impossible." The dwarf king finally said so.
Tony shut up immediately.
grass!
I almost forgot that dwarves have a different concept of time than humans. Dwarves can live for one or two thousand years, and thirty years is really nothing.
"That's good!" Tony was not a fool, so he couldn't tell the truth, so he just agreed. Thirty years... Ha, that basically has no impact on Tony himself and the entire group. He doesn't even need to go out of his way to find connections, he can just collect them slowly. And the most important thing is that Tony also needs vibranium in many places. Originally, he thought that he would never have a fate with vibranium again.
"Well, then our deal is established!" The Dwarf King was also very happy.
They may not be able to collect dozens of kilograms of vibranium in three thousand years, but now they can do it in thirty years. He feels that he has made a lot of money!
However, Richards came to Tony and whispered: "Tony, don't forget that Nidaville and the earth rotate at different speeds."
