After hearing Reed's concept for the Dawn Greatshield, Reed slapped his thigh and said, "What a marvelous idea. The best way to use your twelve 'Dawn Fragments' is to glue them into a stool. I estimate they'd last until the next era without a problem."
Reed took a gulp of beer. By his standards, even if they really wanted to forge the Dawn Greatshield, they would first have to find a way to dissolve the materials. That alone was enough to stop them. As for bonding them together, even if Reed criticized the idea of the Dawn Greatshield, he still would not make such a shield for an old friend to use in a fight to the death.
"To forge the Dawn Greatshield you described, you need to solve the problem of dissolving the materials first."
"Impossible. This is the outer defensive layer of Paradise."
"Exactly. With only these fragments, it's impossible to forge the Dawn Greatshield. You can't just glue them together into one massive shield."
Reed downed his beer and shook his head as he savored the malt brew.
"Yes. That's exactly what we'll do—glue them together."
"Absolutely not. Bonding is far less stable than casting. What if..."
Before Reed could finish, Su Xiao said, "Use living armor forged by a Molten Fire Giant to gather these twelve Dawn Fragments together."
"Even a Molten Fire Giant can't... Hmm? If it's living armor forged by a Molten Fire Giant... Hmm, this might actually work. As long as the greatshield isn't shattered by a single enemy strike, the living armor gathering it will repair itself. Yes, this is a good idea. But you'll have to find a Molten Fire Giant. I can't forge living armor. Why did you come to me?"
"To take you to see how living armor is
