Striking a Deal

But a moment later, Di Tou came to his senses. Even if it was doable, it was always possible there was some other backdoor or restriction that he wasn't aware of that came alongside the soul-binding method the original owner used. After all, he had simply read a description of the method on a slip. When it came to the actual method and processes involved, Di Tou couldn't claim that he understood. And besides, although even if it wouldn't affect him if it was made into a shield, that didn't mean that it didn't change the value.

Di Tou shook his head, "I don't know… a material that has been soul-bound seems rather risky, especially for a piece of equipment like a shield that's meant for saving one's life. Who knows if they'll suddenly play a trick and cause it to rise by an inch? By then, even if the shield was fine, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"
