[Crafting Successful!]
[You successfully crafted the Magic Equipment “Magic Earrings (Namable)”]!
[You gained 100,000 Experience Points and 3,000 Forging Experience Points]
…
...
[Your Forging Level has been raised to Intermediate!]
[You achieved the landmark “Skilled Craftsman”!]
—————–
Lis glanced at the system, but did not pay more attention to it.
As an Intermediate Craftsman, he could now craft Silver Level Equipment, but this was meaningless to Lis, as he no longer intended to rely too much on the system’s auxiliary functions.
The landmark “Skilled Craftsman” provided Lis with a slight increase in his contribution earning rate, a small victory nonetheless.
He casually named the newly successful earrings “Siren Earrings” and enjoyed playing with the exquisitely made earrings in his hand.
The “Siren Earrings” were not large, merely the size of a fingernail, but the wave-like pattern surrounding the blue gemstone at the center made them look more delicate and beautiful, much like the expensive jewelry worn by noble young ladies.
Holding them in his hand, Lis could clearly feel a faint power flowing into his body from the earrings, protecting his spirit.
Although these were minor compared to the current protection on Lis’s soul, they were still a decent piece of protective equipment.

[Equipment: “Siren Earrings”
Tier: Silver
Description: Earrings made of Siren’s voice and silver material, effectively enhancing spirit strength and offering good resistance against mental control, charm, and other Confusion Control Magic effects
Equipment Effect 1: Intelligence Attribute +20, Spirit Strength +10%
Equipment Effect 2: Immunity to one mental control or charm effect not stronger than this equipment’s strength (cooldown time: 7 days)]
—————–
Looking at the properties and effects of the “Siren Earrings,” Lis nodded.
The effects were quite decent, especially the second effect, which was almost a greatly simplified version of Lis’s specialty, “Nether River’s Blessing.”
The effect was limited and the cooldown time long.
But for an average Silver Level Professional, it was considered a top-grade item already.
Magic Equipment capable of resisting Confusion Control Magic was rare, yet hotly sought after among professionals.
After all, the launch of Confusion Control Magic was always untraceable, yet it significantly affected the outcome of battle.
Remember, in the rapidly changing, extraordinary combat, even a momentary lapse of concentration could cost you your life.
Once these “Siren Earrings” were put on the market, they would definitely have a value of thousands of Gold Coins and might even be fiercely competed over.
However, Lis did not want to ask Navin to raise the price.
Lis, Lis Kain, was no longer the “poor devil” who had been reborn with only a few hundred Gold Coins in his pocket.
He was wealthy!
Storing the earrings away, Lis perked up and prepared to continue crafting.
With the experience of previous success, Lis’s operations had become more pleasing and smooth.
Even if he were to craft new Magic Equipment now, it would not result in as many failures as before.
The meaning of trial and error lay herein: once burnt, next time Lis would not make the same mistake.
Of course, this only applied to crafting Equipment within the range of Lis’s strength; crafting higher-tier Equipment was still too far out of reach for him.
Craftsmen need to learn and improve in many areas!
Casting, carving, enchantment, gemstone inlay, elemental harmony…
The higher the tier, the more knowledge and skills were required.
Especially when the strength had not yet been reached, delving too deeply into study could be counterproductive.
Lis did not plan to invest all his energy in this area; keeping up with the pace of his strength enhancement was enough.
Even so, it was still a considerable challenge for Lis.
After all, Lis’s strength had soared beyond normal limits with the system’s aid, and Lis could only try to balance his energy allocation in all aspects as best as possible.
This time, he had failed only twice before another fresh “Siren Earrings” came out of the forge.
All of Navin’s orders were now complete.
Lis looked at the remaining materials and thought about making a pair of earrings for Helen as well.
Thinking about it, he realized he hadn’t formally given her a gift since she started following him!
With that in mind, Lis pondered for a moment and began rummaging through his storage ring, where he kept valuable items.
A wooden box appeared in Lis’s hand.
He opened the lid, revealing a piece of silver-white metal inside.
It was Mithril that Lis had obtained from the Dillon Kingdom!
Lis carefully took a small piece of Mithril and then stored the box away.
As an extremely precious magic metal, Mithril was not only an excellent material for crafting equipment but also known for its high affinity with magic, making it a top-grade harmonizing material.
Helen was still just an ordinary little girl.
Lis had confirmed that she possessed no Transcendent Powers and showed no signs of any special bloodline.
Mithril could harmonize the elemental flow in magic equipment, greatly reducing the burden of using such equipment.
This would be quite useful for Helen.
However, it wasn’t that Lis was stingy, only using a little bit of Mithril.
After all, Helen was still a child, and although equipment made purely from Mithril would be effective, she wouldn’t need it.
It would also attract unnecessary attention, which was not desirable.
It must be said that the effect of Mithril was excellent; with its harmonization, Lis successfully crafted another new pair of “Siren Earrings” on his first attempt.
Because of the addition of Mithril, the effect of these “Siren Earrings” was slightly stronger than the previous two pairs.
Lis looked at his creation with satisfaction and, without tidying up, walked out the door.
After all, Lis’s previous cabin was quite small and really inconvenient for magic research; he intended to take over this room.
…
Helen was lying on the gunwale, blankly staring at the distant, unchanging blue sea, feeling the sea breeze gently brushing her face.
During the days Lis was engrossed in making magic equipment, Helen had seen him only a few times.
Helen was a very sensible child. She did not disturb Lis but stayed quietly in the cabin.
When she was really bored, Helen would also walk around the ship to relax.
While sailing on the sea, the crew members were mostly idle with nothing much to do and no forms of entertainment; many of them would gather together to chat and boast, all that was missing was a cup of wine for merriment.
Gradually, Helen became less fearful of contacting Lis or other people unexpectedly and sometimes joined the crew to listen to their conversations.
The crew members of the Mermaid knew this little girl was following the mysterious Mage Lis, and naturally took good care of Helen.
Many of them, upon seeing Helen, would bring out their cherished snacks, such as nuts and dried fish.
Helen couldn’t refuse, so she graciously accepted them.
Though the snacks were not as delicious as the pastries given by Brother Lis, Helen still properly thanked these enthusiastic crew members.
Having already seen the darker side of life, Helen was not as naive as she appeared; she knew that although these people were not bad, most of them were kind to her because of Lord Lis.
There was one exception, however, and that was the mercenary, Charles.
It seemed that because one night, he had accidentally gotten Helen drunk, he felt somewhat guilty.
Whenever he saw Helen, he was always mindful of her safety, fearing the little girl might fall overboard.
Sometimes Charles would chat with Helen and share his thrilling adventure stories.
Since Charles was quite strong and had broad knowledge along with a knack for storytelling, Helen quite enjoyed listening to his tall tales.
If storytelling had levels, perhaps Charles could already be considered a Golden Rank “Storytelling Master.”
Just then, as Helen lay on the gunwale and Charles stood by, boasting to her and the ordinary sailors about his fight with the Deep Sea Giant Octopus Moraken,
a voice came from the crow’s nest above,
“Captain, Captain!”
“To the east!”
“There’s a ship to the east, heading in our direction!”
“It seems something is not right!”
