At the mention of dragon claws, Li's eyes lit up. After all, dragons were a species that had long since gone extinct in this world.
Li did not know much about the strength of dragons, but Zeref was likely no match for Acnologia—or at least incapable of defeating him. That was why Zeref had later sought to unify the entire continent to oppose Acnologia. Though other dragons were weaker than Acnologia, they should still have been stronger than ordinary powerful individuals.
Li could only speculate, since he had never seen what the dragons of this world were actually like. Now that there was a dragon claw for him to study, it was only natural that he would be pleasantly surprised.
However, David lightly shook his head. "You needn't be too surprised. It may be a dragon claw, but it has been completely sealed inside that gemstone. If you try to unseal it, the claw will probably be destroyed in an instant. I heard from my old friend Caesar that you are also a mage. You probably wanted to take it back for research, but as things stand, it can only be used as an ornament."
Hearing David say that, Li could not help feeling somewhat disappointed. But since David had put it that way, he could not very well insist. He slowly said, "Earlier, at Caesar's place, we discussed matters regarding minerals such as mithril and refined stone..."
David waved a hand. "You needn't worry about any of that. The president of our chamber of commerce has long been too old to manage things. I am basically the one calling the shots within the chamber now. Let me put it this way: we can supply you with all kinds of minerals at least at cost price, including Six Harmony Essence."
