Of course, ordinary tortoiseshell shields are made of general turtle shells, and they are completely incomparable to the ones Reine was about to make.
For Reine, his main purpose was to gain a substantial amount of Experience by making a shield out of the material of the Scale-whisker Iron-back Turtle.
Of course, he was not entirely sure of this yet.
It was merely a reasonable deduction from the fact that knightly plate armor made from rare ores offers a higher Experience reward.
As an entry-level behemoth, the Scale-whisker Iron-back Turtle was comparable in strength to a Great Knight, so its shell naturally ranked as a rare material.
Therefore, Reine felt there was a high probability that he would receive a handsome reward in terms of blacksmithing Experience.
So, right after dinner, Reine went to the blacksmith shop.
