Lusamine soon obtained the list of materials Su Hao and Calyrex had discussed for reforging the sword and shield.
Most of the items on the list were various rare steels, metals, and iron ores.
Of course, these materials were not meant to be melted directly into the sword and shield—
That would only create extremely bulky weapons and armor.
Su Hao and Calyrex's true intention in having Lusamine prepare these materials was to feed the craftsman who would reforge the sword and shield: Melmetal.
As a pure Steel-type Mythical Pokémon, Melmetal possessed the ability to produce steel, and the crucial material needed to reforge the sword and shield was the steel Melmetal produced.

And Melmetal's main source of those nutrients and energy was consuming various types of steel, metal, and iron ore.
It could be said that the materials Su Hao had asked Lusamine to provide were basically all intended for Melmetal.
Lusamine studied the list for a while, then made several calls outside. Finally, she nodded to Su Hao.

At that moment, Mohn, who had remained silent at the side, suddenly asked, "Forgive my presumptuousness, but if you don't mind, could you tell us what
