Chapter 400: The Value of Dark Elf Relics (Second Update)
Seeing the sudden appearance of the red-skinned man speaking to him in Asgardian, Jerry was slightly taken aback, but then nodded thoughtfully.
He had just been conversing with the female appraiser in Mandarin, and the red-skinned man started speaking in Asgardian, clearly knowing that he had an Asgardian spacecraft and mistaking him for an Asgardian.
Moreover, it seemed that the red-skinned man held a significant position, as the moment he appeared, nearby appraisers and some aliens all focused their attention on the two of them.
However, Jerry was not bothered by this.
He was here to sell items and make money, and the higher the other party’s status, the better. Besides, he had a lot to sell.
"Alright!"
Jerry smiled and reached into his spatial ring, pulling out a few dark elf items: a uniquely shaped laser gun, special dark elf battle armor, and a powerful dark elf grenade capable of creating spatial rifts.
After defeating the dark elves last time, since the Ancient One did not want their relics, Jerry had thrown the massive dark elf warship, along with the countless dark elf spacecraft, weapons, and battle armor inside, into a spacetime box, where they had remained until now.
To be honest, he had no use for those dark elf items, and with his current magical prowess, those dark elf weapons were essentially useless.
A single spell from him could deal far more damage than any of those weapons.
Even the powerful grenade, which used advanced spatial principles, could not penetrate his magical defense.
So, rather than let them gather dust in the ring world, it was better to sell them now and exchange them for money.
The money he would get was universally accepted in the universe. He could use it on any technologically advanced planet, as long as that planet was connected to the interstellar network. Even on Kree planets, where peace agreements had been signed, the money would be valid.
"The magic of Asgardians is indeed wondrous!"
Seeing Jerry conjure items out of thin air, Magus couldn’t help but exclaim.
There were many tech-advanced planets in the universe, and many races with special abilities, but races that could systematically and on a large scale use magic were extremely rare.
Magus, having worked in this industry for so long, had seen countless aliens, and he had only witnessed magic being used a few times.
Of course, while the magic of mages was wondrous, most of them were not strong in combat. A single shot from an energy gun could still bring them down, and the same applied to Asgardian mages. So, while he found it impressive, he was not afraid.
What truly made the Asgardians formidable were their warriors, who possessed the terrifying divine strength passed down through generations, not the mages.
"Well, you're right. Let's estimate the value of these items."
Jerry wanted to tell him that he hadn't used magic, just retrieved the items from his ring world, but decided against it. After all, he was a mage, so there was no need to explain.
Magus did not waste any time, pulling out his professional inspection device and beginning to appraise the three items on the table.
"Oh, my goodness, the instruments show that these weapons are at least five thousand years old, yet they still function perfectly. The metal they are made of seems very rare, and they possess advanced and unique technology. Hmm, this grenade contains extremely advanced spatial technology, and the material of this battle armor is not even recorded in our database."
As a series of inspections came to an end, Magus finally stopped exclaiming and looked up at Jerry, asking:
"Mr. Carmen, from what I know, these three items you've presented don't seem to be products of Asgard?"
While the Asgardians rarely leave the Nine Realms, information about their technology and history can still be found in the Sandan Heart.
The three items Magus had just examined clearly contained technology that was vastly different from that of Asgard, and appeared to be even more advanced.
For instance, the grenade with its complex spatial technology was something that Sandan's current technology couldn't achieve.
Overall, these items had significant research value. If the technology inside could be deciphered, it would likely bring considerable benefits to the corporation. It was no wonder Magus had personally come to handle this.
"Oh, these are indeed not from Asgard. They come from the dark elf race."
Jerry didn't hide the origin of the items and revealed it directly.
"The dark elves? An ancient race that has existed since the dawn of the universe, weren't they wiped out by your Asgardians five thousand years ago?"
Magus's eyes lit up instantly.
Even if the technology inside these items couldn't be fully deciphered, their value as collectibles was still considerable. If packaged well, many wealthy individuals would be interested in them.
Jerry raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, these are spoils of war from that time. Can you now give me your appraisal result?"
"Given that these three items contain dark elf technology and also have significant collectible value, my appraisal result is 300,000. If you are willing, our store can repurchase them for 350,000."
Magus said with a smile.
The 300,000 appraisal result was based on the current market value of the items. If Jerry were to appraise and trade these items elsewhere, he would likely get a similar price.
While these items had high technological and collectible value, the technological value required time and effort to research, and there was no guarantee of success, making it somewhat risky.
The collectible value also required time to find the right buyers and proper packaging, which came with its own costs.
So, while the total value of the three items might be high, their actual appraisal value was 300,000.
Magus was willing to offer 350,000 because his corporation had the necessary researchers and connections to unlock the full potential of these items.
Seeing that Jerry didn't immediately agree, Magus provided a brief explanation.
"Would the price be higher if I provided more items?"
Jerry had no real sense of what 350,000 meant, as he didn't know the local prices. What if 300,000 wasn't much? Moreover, according to Magus, the low offer was due to the limited number of samples, which made the probability of successfully deciphering the technology low. However, Jerry's ring world contained more than just one set.
"Of course, if you can provide more, our store can offer 400,000 per set!"
Magus and the blue-skinned female appraiser, who had been assisting, both lit up at Jerry's question.
This suggested that Jerry might have more than one set, perhaps even three or five.
