(Sorry, I've been reading the news and discussing it with others all night. Now it's really the most critical moment, and I forgot to write. I'm so sorry...)

specialty:

Lianshan Ceramics (Specialized ceramics crafted within the wonders of the world. Renowned for its unique clay minerals and exceptional physical properties. Due to its special reinforcement, it can even withstand a drop from mid-air without sustaining any damage. It is an excellent choice for both bulk goods and high-end decorative items. Some even claim to hear the singing of souls within Lianshan ceramics.)
Natural Soul Crystals (Fragments of natural souls obtained after battling the fog within your territory. Natural souls have not been greatly stimulated or stimulated in this area, and their dormant breath and resistance consciousness have formed these precious products. They can replace human souls as spellcasting materials and tools. They are very suitable for wizards on ocean voyages.)

Famous? Wasn't this thing just built? How did it become famous?

Looking at the prompts in his system, Leon stood at the edge of the crowd, staring at the cheering people in a daze.

Although they were still mentally in control, they displayed a second state different from complete obedience. When they saw the huge building finally completed in their hands, they couldn't help but cheer.

In the sunlight, a huge cave appeared in front of everyone.

Although the location of this cave can be said to be very incorrect, it is located in an open area on the edge of the coast, not far away from a damp, digable clay pit, and the moment it was built, a great force turned the crooked cave they originally built into a large building that looks very delicate and is surrounded by countless mysterious rune imprints, but it doesn't matter.

Because their nature is essentially the same. Cave dwellings built by hand also use fire and produce pottery, and this wonder is the same. After a month of learning and imitating, they acquired the knowledge to build cave dwellings.

This may be superficial knowledge that people in the future can obtain in just a few hours or minutes, but it is a big deal for the Misty Islands today.

They finally realized that they were not beasts, but a group of human beings.

People are passionate about work, especially when they see their own hands create a great product, they will almost forget their past blood and sweat, and cheer for their own greatness.

Because they know that all of this actually belongs to them. Even the gods allow their work.

It was theirs, a miracle forged by a benevolent deity through their hands.

'Let's make ceramics. Let's make our lives a little better.'

No such words appeared among the crowd, but people instinctively understood this behavior.

After being instilled with the relevant knowledge, these humans happily began to sit on the open ground, constantly kneading and transforming the clay in their hands on the huge stone slabs.

These naturally malleable materials were everywhere underfoot and around the islands, and any piece could be pulled into a very good shape. The most skillful ones quickly fashioned some very nice-looking bottles and jars.

Although their empire was still in a relatively primitive stage, and even when it was destroyed, it had not yet developed a complete technology tree, it was still able to forge the most basic drinking and eating utensils. These people, who had begun to split up, looked expectantly at the person in charge of delivering the materials. He used the more prominent stone slabs to send the materials in, and then closed the kiln door.

Normally, it would take a long time of baking and processing to forge a complete pottery. However, due to the Soul Stone, a super catalyst, and the mysterious patterns gradually accelerating within the white Lianshan Kiln, the supernatural flame within died down in just a few hours.

No human control or activity was required. Supernatural forces quickly baked and forged the clay into slightly rough pottery shards.

Most of them have been broken into pieces, and many more have been heated unevenly and look tilted.

But among the countless failures, a complete product emerged.

It was a small bowl that looked slightly reddish.

It wasn't big, only the size of a human palm. The fireman was a little excited and wanted to take the red bowl out of the cave, but the moment he touched it, the temperature burned him so much that he screamed and subconsciously threw the bowl to the ground.

However, under everyone's gaze, the ceramic bowl that fell heavily on the ground did not break. Instead, it bounced a few times, rolled on the ground, and then settled down.

Until the next brave human raised the black ceramic bowl, pointed it at the sun in the sky, and uttered his own voice with a trembling voice.

"We did it!"

"This is a miracle! It's a great treasure given to us by God!"

"Even those demons couldn't possibly possess such an exquisite item. The treasure they want to steal is right here!"

"..."

Countless cheers and screams were like an ocean, and the enthusiastic emotions instantly enveloped the entire archipelago.

"That's great! You've finally mastered pottery and the basic rules."

In the Hanging Garden, Leon clapped his hands and praised these people's progress.

"But there are only five months left. How many of you can keep up with me?"

There were still five months until the Britannian Royal Navy's exploratory fleet arrived. Looking at the crowd, who were ignorantly raising their ceramic bowls and shouting excitedly, Leon felt a little anxious.
