 ...
 With a pile of treasure, Rogel returned to Sea Serpent Island.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> The Dark Sea Hunter had already been teleported to the Water Cave using the Key.
 Fortunately, as a clone of himself, the Dark Sea Hunter could also enjoy the teleportation function; otherwise, it would have been too troublesome.
 Upon arriving at the Water Cave, the Dark Sea Hunter dug a hole and began its slumber.
 Rogel, meanwhile, focused intently on completing the final tasks with Felik.
 [Finally finished!]
 Felik and Rogel looked at the ship in front of them and let out a long breath of relief.
 The pirate ship had been completely transformed under their renovation.
 The new ship was about thirty meters long and around eight meters wide, mostly constructed of wood, with some special parts reinforced with sturdier materials.
 Being a modified pirate ship, it had ample space inside, easily accommodating four or five people, and if rooms were converted into bunk-style dorms, it could hold ten to twenty people like those pirates.
 The interior was even more ingeniously designed.
 Kitchen, living room, planting area, shower room, medical room...
 In short, under Lina’s planning and Felik’s improvements, the ship’s internal facilities were almost all-inclusive.
 Next up was moving items aboard.
 [Have you finished designing your flag?]
 Felik crossed his arms, looking contentedly at his work, and casually asked.
 [Lina sought help from the town’s tailor granny; it should be finished by tomorrow.]
 Rogel replied.
 [Oh, I see... wait?]
 Felik initially nodded nonchalantly, but then suddenly realized something.
 [Lina?!]
 [You mean Little Lina from the clinic, Old Nelson’s granddaughter?]
 Felik looked at Rogel in disbelief.
 [Yes, didn’t you know?]
 Rogel nodded, looking at him somewhat puzzled.
 He thought the islanders would have fully understood his situation by now.
 But it seemed some people didn’t know Lina was his vice-captain.
 [...]
 Felik took several deep breaths to regain his composure.
 Rogel, the outsider from another island, had managed to lure away their well-behaved Little Lina!
 Damn it, what a beast!
 [So the beautiful lady who sponsored you was...]
 [Lina.]
 Rogel said.
 Felik took another deep breath.
 [... Rogel, listen to me, Little Lina is not only a well-behaved child we’ve watched grow up but also the most beloved doctor on the island.]
 [If you don’t take good care of Little Lina, then the next time you return to Sea Serpent Island, I will...]
 As he spoke, Felik made a dangerous gesture with his hand across his throat.
 Rogel leaned back tactically, wiping away cold sweat.
 ...
 [Learning progress is complete, congratulations, you have learned the skill - Blacksmithing lv1.]
 After completing the shipbuilding, Rogel devoted more time to learning Blacksmithing Skills.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Thus, he mastered the Blacksmithing Skills.
 A while later, Chad grabbed a beer out of habit and took a hefty gulp.
 [You’ve learned quickly; you’ve already grasped some basic techniques.]
 [Next, you’ll need to integrate them and practice more with hammering and refining.]
 [An excellent blacksmith, while forging weapons and equipment, is also refining themselves.]
 Chad patted Rogel’s shoulder and said earnestly.
 [Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Chad.]
 Rogel thanked him sincerely.
 [No need to thank me; I didn’t teach you for free, hahaha.]
 Rogel smiled upon hearing this.
 Chad is a straightforward and sincere man.
 Upon learning that Rogel was setting sail the next day, he even considered refunding the tuition fee to Rogel.
 Of course, after Rogel’s stern refusal, he still accepted it.
 Rogel’s quick learning impressed Chad, who didn’t hold back and was generous in sharing his knowledge. As long as Rogel wanted to learn, Chad was willing to teach.
 [This is a book of blueprints, recording some basic methods for forging weapons and equipment.]
 Chad tossed a book to Rogel and took another gulp of beer.
 [... Hic～]
 [If you ever find the lost blueprints for equipment, be sure to cherish them. For a blacksmith, absorbing the experiences of predecessors is crucial before reaching a Master Level of skill...]
 [I believe with your talent, you’ll eventually become a legendary blacksmith, rivaling those legendary dwarven craftsmen.]
 [Then I can brag to others that I’ve taught a legendary blacksmith, hahaha...]
 Chad offered many words of encouragement, clearly holding high hopes for Rogel.
 Rogel took the book of blueprints from Chad and expressed his gratitude once more.
 ...
 The sun was setting over Sea Serpent Island’s dock.
 Old Nelson sat beside Holly’s grave, quietly watching the sunset.
 [Grandpa.]
 Seeing Old Nelson’s frail and slightly hunched lonely figure, Lina couldn’t help but feel tears well up.
 [Lina’s here, hahaha, come over quickly, keep grandma and grandpa company for a drink.]
 Seeing Lina arrive, Old Nelson laughed heartily, pulled out a barrel of wine, and handed her a glass.
 Lina, seeing this, remained silent, unsure of what to say.
 At this moment, she was unsure if her decision was the right one.
 Old Nelson poured a glass of wine on the grave, took a large gulp of beer, and wiped his mouth. Noticing his granddaughter’s expression, he smiled.
 [Feeling lost?]
 At that moment, Old Nelson pulled out an old sketchbook from his pocket. It seemed to be filled with children’s doodles, preserving the essence of childhood.
 Lina was a bit surprised.
 She recognized it as her childhood doodle book.
 Old Nelson had kept it all these years.
 Old Nelson flipped to a page with an air of familiarity.
 Looking at the drawing, Old Nelson’s eyes softened.
 [Lina, let me tell you something from the heart.]
 [There’s no elder who doesn’t want their children nearby; I’m no exception.]
 [I long to see you grow up, meet a suitable husband, get married, have children, and even watch you grow old.]
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Saying this, Old Nelson suddenly laughed.
 [But how could all these wishes come true?]
 [Can anyone dare say their life has been completely fulfilling?]
 Old Nelson took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from his granddaughter’s eyes.
 [Being able to see Lina grow up has already fulfilled me.]
 [This is your dream; I can’t selfishly prevent you; otherwise, your grandmother would surely hit me when I meet her, haha...]
 Old Nelson said with deep emotion.
 [So, Lina, go and fly...]
 [A big ship is an extension of human footsteps and also the wings to pursue dreams.]
 [Go chase your dreams; this is also your grandfather’s hope for you...]
 On the drawing book in his hand, a little person in a dress stood on tiptoe at the ship’s bow, reaching out to touch the seabird overhead.
 In both the grandfather’s and granddaughter’s eyes was the reflection of the golden, shimmering sea, where the waves ebbed and flowed...</div>
