Claire led the two of them across the sea. Mason was also worried at first but got used to it later. Then he took this opportunity to enjoy the scenery overlooking the sea from high altitude.
The scenery at sea is completely different from what you see on land, especially in the uninhabited area in the center of the sea.
From time to time, huge Sea Beasts would roll up on the sea, splashing out large waves, as well as swarms of fish, giant Sea Beasts exposed on the sea surface for ventilation, and various magical species that had never been seen before.
Those Sea Beast are extremely powerful. Mages below Archmage simply do not have the ability to cross the oceans of two countries like Claire. Anyone with weaker strength may encounter the powerful Sea Beast on the sea and start a battle.
When Claire flew to Nafu City, he deliberately exuded his own aura to avoid some unsighted Sea Beast from attacking them and affecting the time to return.
"Calen."
"Here, Lord Claire!" Calen withdrew his gaze from admiring the scenery. Since being impressed by what Claire just said, his respect for Claire has skyrocketed.
"We can start promoting it when we get back."
Mason, who was behind, heard the conversation between Claire and Calen, and looked over curiously.
Before Calen could ask, Claire continued, "I studied hard at Master Ona for seven years, but failed to get what I wanted. Finally, I realized my own way. How about leaving Ona and creating my own style of jewelry?"
Calen's eyes lit up, this character is so good!
Taking advantage of Ona's popularity, and also coming up with a great gimmick, with a little publicity, it will definitely attract a lot of attention!
"Ah this..." Mason was speechless and shouted out.
Claire looked over with a smile and nodded to Mason, "Yes, your competitor from now on will be your former teacher."
This is one of the reasons why Claire chose Mason. This gimmick is so helpful that it can attract the attention of almost everyone who pays attention to jewelry, whether it is a professional master or a customer who purchases jewelry. After this news breaks out, it will definitely arouse heated discussions. If Mason and Ona compete against each other later, the popularity will be even greater, and it will be even more popular than spending money to hire a master alone.
The preliminary work of the jewelry store is basically done with this information, and it will depend on how the finished product performs in the market later.
"I..." Mason is a little thin-skinned, and there are things he wants to say but can't.
"You think it's not good to take advantage of Master Ona's fame like this? Do you want to become famous on your own?" Claire said with a smile.
Mason was surprised. He didn't expect that Claire could know what he was thinking so accurately.
"Pa!" Calen slapped Mason hard on the back, causing Mason to stagger. Fortunately, Claire's magic was holding him up, otherwise he would definitely have fallen into the sea.
"If you are almost 30 years old, don't hold on to such illusions. Be realistic and use everything that is beneficial to you as much as possible. Only then can you develop and rise. Dreams and morals cannot be eaten enough."
Mason's eyes flashed with confusion, and he was a little unsure whether he had boarded the pirate ship. This was inconsistent with his own philosophy.
"Now there is no time for you to grow up slowly and understand what is most important." Claire said, "I can tell you clearly that you need to rely on Ona to make your works famous, and in the future you will become the opposite of Ona, your former teacher, a life-or-death enemy."
"What? Are you still willing?" Claire did not hide it at all. Of course he could deceive Mason into not even knowing what he was doing, but Claire's character was unwilling to do that. He preferred to let everyone make their own choices.
Mason After listening to the two people's words, he thought for a moment, went through all the things he had experienced in the first half of his life in his mind, and finally nodded slowly and firmly. "I understand!"
However, Mason also has a little worry in his heart. Can he really become Master Oma's opponent? That is a well-known master in the jewelry design industry.
Calen showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes. In his opinion, people who know how to be flexible have a greater chance of achieving great things than those who are stubborn.
"Come here, let me tell you about the design ideas of our jewelry store... and some related concepts." Claire reached out and called the other party over.
Since Mason had always been a spectator during the conversation between Claire and Calen, he understood and accepted the concepts Claire said very quickly. He was not like Calen before who always used his own thoughts to deny what Claire said.
After returning to Nafu City with Mason, Claire melted all the jewelry that had been forged before. Those jewelry that catered to the mainstream market before were completely different from the design ideas of Mason now. Therefore, in order to maintain uniformity, they had to be melted and forged again. Although there was some loss, it was all worth it.
With a quiet environment and capable assistants, Mason's design drawings were gradually improved, and his own system was slowly built. He felt that his progress was so obvious.
During this period, Calen came several times. After seeing many finished products designed by Mason, I gradually got used to and adapted to his design aesthetics and ideas, and gradually began to feel that those jewelry have their own unique beauty. It also confirmed what Claire said to him before, that people do not have their own thoughts at all.
However, Calen is still a little worried. Can those jewelry with magical effects really be sold? That has nothing to do with beauty or not. That is determined by the social environment and customs. Unless Claire changes the social customs, rich people will still prefer "useless" jewelry.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in." Claire put down the pen in his hand. He was just calculating something about Spatial Magic.
Then, Mason walked in with heavy black eyelids and a chicken coop head, "Sorry Lord Claire, excuse me, it was the housekeeper Regan who said you were on the top floor."
Seeing that it was Mason, Claire also got up from his desk, walked to the sofa, and made an invitation gesture.
"Sit."
After Claire sat down, he said, "Your mental state doesn't seem to be very good? Are you not used to living in Nafu City?"
Mason also sat down and forced out a smile, "No, I have never had such a good time in my life. This is because I was too involved in the design and forgot to eat and sleep."
"Yeah." Claire nodded lightly, "Then what are you doing here today?"
Mason pursed his lips and said, "There are some problems. I'm stuck in a bottleneck."
"Tell me about it."
"The design went very smoothly at the beginning, but now when I think about competing with Master Ona, I can't help but feel a little frightened. You also know that Master Ona is very strong, and I'm afraid I can't compete with him."
"That's all?" Claire said with a smile.
Mason smiled bitterly, "This may seem like a small thing to you, but for me, the psychological pressure is huge."
"Then let me tell you a story."
