Although the female receptionist is neither an appraiser nor an advanced adventurer, her long years of experience allowed her to immediately recognize that the shield Raine handed over was no ordinary item, and its magical radiance was almost comparable to epic-level magic equipment.
But such a shield is actually going to be melted down?
This is really too wasteful.
"Yes, and preferably as soon as possible," Raine nodded and said.
"This... Mr. Rein, may I ask, are you short of money? If so, I can help you immediately contact potential buyers for the shield."
"Or if you don't mind the purchase price being slightly lower, I can report it right away. I'm sure the association would be willing to buy your shield," Liya quickly asked.
Upon hearing Liya's inquiry, Raine shook his head and said, "Not short of money, but I'm short of star iron. This shield contains star iron, and I need to melt the shield down to extract the material inside."
