Transmigrated as a Ghost

539 Chapter 539 Trip Preparations and New Adamantine Equipment



Once they had returned home, both Marcus and Lilia began getting ready for their upcoming trip to the crystal caverns.

“Clara here is a list of items I need prepared. If you could have all of them brought here within the next three days.” Marcus said, handing over a small notebook full of things he needed for his upcoming trip.

“Very well Lady Irene, I shall see that it is done.” Clara said, always incredibly reliable.

After that Marcus told Lilia that he needed her help in the forge and the two of them made their way over to Marcus’ personal workshop.

“Okay Lilia, I think it is time that we upgrade your gauntlets and armor. I happened to get some good materials and I believe you are ready for some adamantine equipment.”

Astonished by this, Lilia began waving her hands and said, “Wait but you spent so much time and money getting that adamantine. I could not ask that you use it on me.”

Smiling at Lilia, Marcus was happy to see her as she always was.

“No, it is fine. I managed to get my hands on some more in Tralenstein as a bit of surplus when I was making weapons for them. So, I have sixteen ingots on me now.” Marcus said as he began pulling out all of his adamantine so that Lilia could see he had plenty.

Seeing that he was serious and that he did have more than before, Lilia’s demeanor changed and now she was excited to see what Marcus would make for her..

As long as he was not pushing himself at his own detriment for her, she had already learned to accept his generosity as an older sibling.

“Now what do you want first? New armor, or a new set of gauntlets?”

Answering immediately, Lilia wanted her new gauntlets first.

“Understood. Then let us get started.” Marcus said, as he twirled his hammer around in his hands.

To begin with he pulled out a bunch of materials he had gotten from the creatures that lived in the glacier.

He planned to use the cores from the strongest frost worm and the strongest remorhaz as the focal points of Lilia’s new gauntlets.

Each of these monsters had been over level fifty and were some of the best he currently had on him.

However, what was really going to add some power to Lilia’s new gauntlets was the fangs from the former boss of the glacier.

“I have everything ready now Lilia, so let us get started.”

Nodding her head and having a fire burning in her eyes she was pumped to assist Marcus in the creation of her new weapons.

Quickly they got to work as Marcus melted down the adamantine along with the materials from the mutated monster that had once ruled the glacier.

However, he decided partway through to add something even greater and took out two different scales.

One belonged to the mythic grade beast parts that he had gotten in Tralenstein and the other belonged to Gwyneira.

Taking both of these, Marcus added them to one of each of the crucibles that had the materials that were going to make up both of Lilia’s gauntlets.

However, it took more time than he anticipated to get these materials that were of the highest grade to melt into the adamantine. But after a few hours it was finally done.

‘Hm I am always amazed by how different it looks when merged with high level materials.’ Marcus though as he looked at the cooled adamantine

It no longer had its normal dark green luster, but instead had adopted some of the colors of the materials used to enhance it as well.

With this step now done, Marcus once again heated up the metal and went to work on shaping it into gauntlets for Lilia.

Then when it was done, he added the formations that would enchant Lilia’s gauntlets.

But instead of using his own mana, he allowed Lilia to use her own so that the gauntlets would be even more personal to her.

This was pretty abnormal, but Marcus always liked to let Lilia have a little bit of an influence in the creation of her own weapons and armor.

“They are done.” Marcus said with a smile, once he had finished adding the last enchantment.

Lilia for her part was breathing heavily after exhausting her mana many times over, but she still had a satisfied expression on her face.

Yet, soon her fatigue disappeared as both of them watched the gauntlets shimmer, before a pattern appeared on them marking that they had been recognized by the system.

“Here you go Lilia. Why don’t you go test them out while I get things prepared to make your armor next?”

Grabbing the two gauntlets, Lilia basically had stars in her eyes, and after giving Marcus a quick hug, she rushed outside to test out her new weapons. Her tiredness having all but vanished.

While Lilia was out testing her new weapons, Marcus began the process of getting Lilia’s new armor ready, when he thought, ‘Might as well make a new set for myself as well.’

His current set of armor was nothing very special, but now that he had impeccable materials and a higher skill level, he was confident in making some top tier armor as well.

Getting to work, Marcus went about making two sets of practically identical armor. Using plenty of materials from the exoskeleton of the glacier’s boss, as well as a bit of the scales from the two mythic grade magic beasts he had.

Hours quickly passed by as Marcus worked like a man possessed, until he had produced two sets of practically identical armor.

‘Lilia come back in, it is your turn again.’ Marcus said using his telepathy.

At this point Lilia had already finished testing her new weapons, slept, and eaten two meals since Marcus had gotten started on make their new sets of armor.

Still, she appeared very quickly, and poured her own mana into the suit of armor that was going to be hers as Marcus etched in the formations.

Soon, her armor was completed, and as he had expected, it was recognized as a masterpiece. In large part simply because of the mythic grade magic beast materials.

After Lilia’s was done, Marcus got to work on his own, and soon he had created a nearly identical set of armor to the other one.

Except this one as it gained the system’s recognition, had just a slightly different pattern.

While Lilia’s had what looked like little silver fireworks on it along with mountains of ice, Marcus’ had little swirls of light and darkness throughout it.

‘Hm, I guess that using your own mana really does make a difference.’ Marcus thought seeing this.

He had not had any real basis to believe this until now, but after this he did. The slight differences in his and Lilia’s new armor acting as proof.

However, even though he had completed his and Lilia’s new armors, there was still one more thing he wanted to make.

He had already promised it to himself that he would make a better shield than the one Thabon had loaned him during the tournament, and now was the time.
