Chapter 242 Warning to the Dwarves
Because the dwarves are few in number and relatively reclusive, many in the universe believe Nidavellir is a fictional place, only rumored to produce exceptionally powerful weapons.
As the work of the Dwarf King, the magic wand is certainly more than just cool.
Moreover, the true friendship among the dwarves is far more precious than Phineas imagined; Etri contributed many materials to supplement the crafting of this wand for Phineas.
Therefore, while this magic wand hasn't reached the level of a divine artifact, it is definitely a rare and exquisite weapon.
"White Dragon Wand!?"
Phineas touched the textured, light magic wand in his hand, feeling that the name was rather unpleasant. He thought hard for a moment and asked Etri, "How about 'Breath of the White Dragon'?"
"Does it have any meaning?"
Etri asked curiously.
"No, it just looks pretty cool!"
Phineas shook his head, thinking that names like 'White Dragon Flame' or 'Exploding Staff' might also be good.
"..."
Etri didn't know what to say, so he simply began to introduce this 'unnamed' magic wand.
"While this wand isn't my finest creation, it's certainly one of the best weapons I've ever made,"
Itri boasted proudly before continuing, "Besides vibranium, I also added some Uru gold from Asgard, as well as other metals known for their hardness." "
So in terms of hardness, it's almost only slightly less than Thor's hammer. It's a pity I didn't have the core material of a dying star; otherwise, it's not impossible for it to surpass Thor's hammer in hardness!"
Itri said with a hint of regret, but it still left Phineas speechless with astonishment.
Actually, Phineas had only wanted a weapon to signify his status; he hadn't intended for the dwarves to make it particularly powerful.
This outcome was quite unexpected.
He had initially thought that having the dwarves research 'possession' and then forging a weapon from vibranium would be a fair trade.
But now, with Etri having crafted it so well, he felt like he had gotten a great deal.
"It has an 'energy gathering' magic circle engraved on it, capable of launching energy attacks. It also contains Alfheim's golden branch powder, which should enhance your mental state!"
"There's also a 'recall' magic circle. Within a fifty-meter radius, you can recall it to your hand at any time. Unfortunately, you require the top to resemble a blue-eyed white dragon, so some magic circles can't be engraved."
Hearing this feature, Finney inexplicably thought of Captain America's shield. He wondered if Tony's father had coincidentally engraved this magic circle when creating the shield!
Otherwise, how could Captain America throw the shield and have it return, defying scientific principles?
Listening to Etri's explanation, Finney increasingly felt he couldn't accept this weapon so easily.
Before its creation, he only requested the wand's style and size, barely mentioning its power. Therefore, the materials were actually added by Itri on his own initiative.
Because he didn't have many friends, Finney valued friendship highly, and he generally reciprocated kindness.
Like Tony, although their relationship wasn't great at first, as it improved, he was even willing to sacrifice his own time to use the 'Fourth Bullet' to perform surgery on Tony before absorbing enough time himself.
So, regardless of whether Itri's actions stemmed from friendship or ulterior motives in creating the wand this way, Finney didn't want to accept this kindness without a reason.
"To be honest, I can't just describe it as satisfactory!"
Finney glanced at the smug-looking Itri and slowly said, "However, Itri, it's just too good. This makes it a little hard for me to accept."
Hearing Finney's words, Itri was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You didn't charge any forging fees to begin with, and now you've added so many precious materials. I really don't know how to compensate you!"
Finney looked at Itri. After spending these past few days together, he still believed Itri simply wanted to forge a good weapon.
Itri paused, then waved his hand generously, saying, "It's alright, these are all my own materials!"
"That's exactly why I feel even more embarrassed!"
Finney sighed, looked at Itri, and said seriously, "Although I don't have anything to compensate you right now, I can tell you some very important news!"
Finney thought carefully and felt that besides the 'Violet Chicken Wrap,' the only other thing he could give Itri was 'information' about the future.
With his involvement, who knows if Thanos will still collect almost all the Infinity Stones before starting to forge the gauntlet, as in the original storyline? He might start earlier!
"News!?"
Etri looked at Finney with suspicion.
Finney took the 'White Dragon's Food' from his pocket, opened it, and showed Etri the Space Stone inside, saying, "Do you know this?"
Etri squatted down, staring curiously at the stone in Finney's hand, and said with surprise, "The Infinity Stone!? How do you have this?"
"By chance!"
Finney put away the Space Stone and looked at Etri, saying, "As far as I know, you should be able to forge an Infinity Gauntlet that can combine and utilize the power of the Infinity Stones, right?"
Etri's surprise hadn't even faded before he looked at Finney again and nodded. This must be an extremely secretive matter, and he was very curious how Finney knew it.
"There's a guy in the universe named Thanos. He's been chasing the power of the Infinity Stones, but with his physique, it's difficult for him to control the power of all the stones, so the Infinity Gauntlet must be one of his targets."
"Thanos…"
Etri felt like he had vaguely heard the name before, but since he wasn't interested in anything other than alcohol and crafting, his memory of it wasn't very clear.
"You mean he'll ask me to forge the gauntlet?"
Etri asked, shaking his head. "The Infinity Stones have almost never been collected by one person. Even if he forged the gauntlet, it wouldn't matter, and I won't forge it anymore."
"That's what I wanted to tell you. He's ruthless and incredibly powerful. He might even threaten you with the lives of your people to force you to forge it for him!"
Hearing Phineas's words, Etri laughed, reassuring him, "Don't worry, no one can threaten us. Asgard will protect us. Odin's power is beyond your imagination!"
"But Odin is old. He can't protect you forever."
Phineas looked at the nonchalant Etrias and said gravely, "Ragnarok could come at any time. At that time, Asgard might not even be able to protect itself, let alone you!" Seeing
Phineas's serious expression, Etri's smile faded, and he frowned as he replied, "Then I'll forge it for him."
"What if he doesn't want anyone else to get the gloves in the future?!"
Finney looked at Itri, whose face had hardened, and said, "That's the message I wanted to tell you. If he comes looking for you one day, you must be extremely careful."
