Chapter 541: “King T’Chaka”
On the border of Wakanda, inside a yurt-like building, Jerry patiently awaited the arrival of the current Wakanda King, TChaka.
As soon as Jerry revealed his identity, the captain of the border guard promptly relayed the news.
Wakanda took Jerrys appearance seriously, and they quickly responded to the situation.
The squad leader escorted Jerry to the nearest yurt near the border, where he was told that the king would personally meet him shortly.
This arrangement didnt surprise Jerry.
Given Wakandas secretive nature, he understood that the king wouldnt readily divulge the true state of Wakanda to outsiders.
Thus, it was fitting for the reception to be held near the border.
While Jerry possessed the Transfiguration Spell and the Reality Gem, seemingly capable of conjuring anything from thin air by expending mana, there were still limitations.
For example, he could produce Vibranium items, but he couldnt create the most basic form of Vibranium the liquid Vibranium stock solution.
Jerry hadnt seen or comprehended what the true liquid Vibranium stock solution looked like.
Transfiguration spells and the Reality Gem could craft items, but one needed at least some understanding of what they were creating.
It wasnt merely about imagination and naming; it required a deeper comprehension, especially for complex objects.
Consider the Philosophers Stone from the world of Harry Potter. Jerry could alter it with his transformation spell and the Reality Gem, but only because he had studied and analyzed it extensively, gaining a certain understanding of its nature.
If he had never encountered the Philosophers Stone in the Harry Potter world and only knew about it from movies in his previous life, he wouldnt be able to conjure it out of thin air.
Both the Reality Gem and Transfiguration Charms could generate matter through the expenditure of mana.
However, there were still inherent restrictions.
Jerry is confident about his visit because he doesnt require much; even a single gram of Vibranium stock solution would suffice.
He can create more with his Transfiguration spell, the Reality Gem, and some magical research.
As a respected wizard, he expects Wakanda to be reasonable, especially since he recently fought a demon to save the world, a feat that should render him trustworthy.
If Wakanda refuses, he may consider alternative means, even resorting to Apparating directly to their Vibranium collection site to take some for himself.
With time, Jerry has come to understand that survival of the fittest prevails regardless of the world.
Strength commands respect, and power shapes the rules.
While peaceful and equitable exchange remains his preferred approach, he will employ other methods if necessary, even when dealing with those weaker than him.
Oh, here they come! Jerry exclaimed as he sensed the presence of others approaching him at an alarming speed.
After about ten minutes of waiting inside the yurt, Jerry sensed the presence of a massive stealth aircraft landing a few kilometers away.
Another five minutes passed before two bald, well-armed women drew back the yurts curtain.
An elderly black man in his sixties donned in Wakandas national attire walked in with a welcoming smile on his face.
TChaka, however, did not take Jerrys presence lightly and returned the courtesy with humility.
Welcome to Wakanda, Mr. Jerry. Though we are a relatively poor and overlooked nation, we still respect your visit. May I inquire to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit? King TChaka asked with a warm smile while he signed for the soldiers around him to stay back.
Jerry didnt waste time with pleasantries; he got straight to the point after he paid his respect by bowing to King TChaka.
Your Majesty, Ive heard that Wakanda produces a metal called Vibranium, worth ten thousand dollars per gram. Id like to purchase a gram.
TChakas initial response was a moment of surprise, followed by an embarrassed smile.
Mr. Jerry, Im afraid youre a little late. More than ten years ago, I could have easily provided you with a gram of Vibranium. However, Wakanda no longer possesses any Vibranium. King TChakas expression grew somber as he explained to Jerry.
